The Glory of a heart Fully Alive


Currently Reading
Waking the Dead-John Eldredge.


I've been full out of reading Christian books. I've been discouraged because I have no idea how so many authors came to so many of their comments. Then again, I picked up this book that I received as a present. I've already read Wild at Heart by the same author. This book makes you want to go on top of a mountain top and read. Instead, I went to Rhodes, picked up some yoghurt and started reading.
Anyways back to my other book. One of the chapters read 'In desperate need of Clarity.'
Dang straight I needed that.
Elderge's rhetorical questions amused a confused pattern of thoughts.
What exactly are you perfeclt clear on these days?
How about your life/ Why have things gone the way they have?
Where was God in all that?
Wouldn't a little bit of cliarty go a long way right now?

I haven't finished reading it yet but so far, so profound but at least i'm understanding it!

On a career note: I have a test for Hilton today. Its for their graduate program. Some sort of psychometric test that I need to pass. If this all goes well till the end, in the words of Daniel Bae, "You could be meeting Paris and Nicki....at least u can say you met them."
Wouldn't that be a story to tell. :)

Awaiting exams

Currently listening
Goo Goo Dolls- Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now


And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life

Cuz sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am


And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am


Finally finished my paper that was due today. So relieved..Thanks Eunji for making my paper look more presentable. Only you would do the things like spacing each line perfectly using a ruler against the computer.
I've only got exams left and then, I'm FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So when do ya all finish?
This is a photo we took in 1st year when we went out. Annie is the bottom sheep, May is the other sleep and i'm the cop! Brings back really weird memories of 1st year. I'm not sure when it all passed by.
My uni buddies. Caroline, Wilson and Tim. If you look closely, Wilson has one tear
in his right eye.
I've spent the last 4 years with these blokes. Man..its been quick.

Study I need

Currently listening to
Everclear- Wonderful

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big

I just don't understand how You can smile with all those tears in your eyes

When you tell me everything is wonderful now

Congratulations to Eddie, Steve and Pastor Lee. The service is heck boring but it was great to see all of their hard work acknowledged through this public ordination.
....so whats a kang do sa nim???

Anyways I have a lot of work to do so I'm definitely going stay home and do my assignment. Man!
WEEK 12 already and i have 4 days left until the end of my university career!
HELL YEAH!!!

Anyways I had a fun weekend once again. I must be still young physically if late nights are no problemo.
After reading Psalms 33 today, it was a huge blessing to me. This Psalm is like jam packed with everything. It took me awhile to read it and to take everything that it said but one verse, verse 20 jumped out at me. "we wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield." That just sums up everything I wanted God to say to me.

God, may your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.




The cake the Epping Army bought for me.

I also want to wish a Happy Birthday to Saehee Amy Susanna Choi. I won't disclose her age but its her birthday today! Hope you had a great day!

stalker

Currently listening to
James Blunt- You're beautiful.

This song is good but as I was listening, I was slightly put off by the inappropriate use of the F word. It was weird because I never heard it on the radio because they play the clean version but the single didn't cut it out.
Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, F@*$)$* high, And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You tell me if it sounds appropriate or not.

Anyways I bumped into my friend at 3 different locations all in the space of 20minutes. Felt weird but I definitely ain't no stalker. The sketchy thing was that I always walked into somewhere they were walking out of. I also saw Daniel's mother. Good to see her. Said she misses her boys. They aren't home enough...hint hint dudes!


I made myself a sandwhich because I decided to better manage my money. My doctor says not to eat stuff like this...but its pretty hard to resist. No self control whatsoever!

Um...the wind blew the door open.
How funny is Aaron. This is the sign that he put on the door before he left to Korea. It was so damn funny that I had to take a photo of it. Anyways hope all is well in the mother land you tubby! Btw....my writing ain't this BAD!

West Ryyyde


Currently listening to
Kanye West- Gold Diggers


This albums pretty good. Its a long listen because it has so many tracks but its well worth it.






Anyways today I enjoyed yum cha at the famous "kam fook" at Chatswood. I haven't been there for yum cha before so it worth trying. I think that most yum cha places are very similar. One thing i can't get over is that every single waitress thought i was Chinese. Maybe its the haircut but I didn't say one word but my form of communication with them were my facial expressions and hand movements to signal "i want that one" or "no thanks."

To top off my enthralling day, I visited the newly renovated West Ryde Mall. Its a hectic little mall with too many people in an enclosed 1 storey complex. I think all the West Ryders are just happy to have some sort of shopping. I have never seen residents so happy to see a Woolworths! Happy Shopping Eddies and Hermz.

To all you Coldplay fans out there, I found the music video for Fix you.
Click below.
http://www.virgin.net/music/musicvideos/coldplay_fixyou_hi.html
Man..i have been inspired to play drums and sing. Props to Chris Martin. You are a genius!

Fix You - Coldplay
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Which ribs?

Currently listening
Stars - Switchfoot


After trying the scrumptious delights of both Hurricanes and Tony Roma's Ribs, it is hard to distinguish between them. The most obvious difference is the fact that the ribs at Hurricanes is way bigger but I think the quality of both are up there amongst the very best. I'm not sure if my pursuit to find the best ribs in Sydney is a wise contemplation considering my doctor said that my cholesterol level is pretty dang high for a younger male. It freaked me out so I'm going to eat healthier foods. BOOST..here i come!

I definitely think that my car has some bad karma or something man. I had another car accident on Saturday. I was an innocent bystander..I was idle in traffic when a nice looking BMW 7 series comes and smacks me in the front. I was shocked and I think I made a sound which normally comes from a female. So yes I have a beat up Hyundai Excel. One thing I have to add, don't take power steering for granted. I am seriously going to get big arms soon...Roundabouts have never been so hard in my life as well as reverse parking.

A chick magnet for sure!!

In appreciation


Thank you everyone for all your emails, sms, phonecalls, presents, cards and letters.
It was truly a special day for me as I realised that a birthday is a celebration more than anything else. Each act of kindness towards me was very special and something that I will cherish. Each person that I know has someway in another impacted me and have helped me become the person that I am today.
It was particularly great to have my parents for this birthday. Seaweed soup..u can't go wrong!

Anyways...i don't want to get all mushy and emotional but thanks again to everyone. It was very muchly appreciated!


P.S. Sorry for the delayed blog.
