The Perth sunset

heh. must admit the last photo of the last entry (living room), i set it up cos i took the guitar and put it there and opened the case :) *guilty*

maybe someone would have figured out. who puts the guitar there and even if so. open it in a way to face outwards? *poser* :) but it does make the room look nicer.. heh



This was sunday dinner from 2 weeks ago. I cooked claypot rice! And I think it was pretty good :)

We have dinners here most Sundays. Depends on who can make it, who is willing to cook etc. but it's mostly at Simon's house.

Good fellowship, good food, good life, good God most importantly :)

The term YC International means more to me after that meal. We were at Stacey's place sending off Mark Liew, who was going back to Singapore (cos he got accepted into Medical School) and there were 12 YCers there. Including the ones in Brisbane, NZ and Taz, that's almost 20 people. Wow :) May we carry God well wherever we are!



This was taken from my favourite spot in Perth.
(ok. ONE OF the favourite spots :)Near Canning bridge, at the boat launch beside the Freeway. Beautiful. Also cos you can drive up to the river in your car :)

I love the open sky here and the amazing colours (not that i can really tell what they are :) at sunset here. I feel get a deep sense of awe and amazement everytime i see the short lived beauty of the sunset sky and wonder how much fun our Creator God is having, showing off the sunset He just made.

If He bothers to make sunsets beautiful, and for no one in particular, then He can surely hear my cry for His refining for He tells me I mean more to Him, will be made more beautiful and for whom His love will last longer than a thousand Sunsets. Wow

Happy B' Day Nic and Dawn and the new house

Been busy these few days :) A quick rundown.

First things first. Happy 21st Nic! Wish I could be there :) Blessed birthday. May God continue to lead and guide you and make you His and His alone :) May this new year bring fresh dreams and new hope! (actually all this only makes sense if she reads this. haha. but it seemed appropriate anyway. haha.)

Happy birthday Dawn too! Hope you recover soon from the shock from all the people who inveded your room :) Hope you find what yr looking for soon. And blessed new year! I am sure God will only show you more as you allow Him more room. YAY! (hmm. seems appropriate too. oh well. doesn't matter i guess :) on to the rest of it)

The New Place!


This is the family whose home I have the privilige of looking after while they holiday in Singapore and Malaysia. Moved into the new place on Saturday.

Dad is Uncle Nat Koh, Mum is Aunty Chai Lan, left daughter is Melissa, right is Jeannette. They are very very nice :) Seriously. like... really :)
God bless them as they travel!!


I am staying in their guest room, and yes, i know. It's very neat. Thank you. Yes. I keep it like that everyday. What? No, I din only arrange it for the photo. Of COURSE NOT! Whatever gave you that idea?

(Those who are sharp will notice the green cushion. I brought it from YC office :) nothing like the smell of HOME!)

It's also where i do ironing (this was a load of their clothes that Aunty washed before they left)

I haven't done so much ironing since i was staying here 5 years ago (ahh. the good old Stormon days...) and realise i enjoy it so much! :)

Thanks Mum, Qing Hua and Jennifer who iron for the Wong men at home. Now I know how much fun I'm missing :) heh.



This is where i *plonk* myself now. So that's where I am if I am talking to you these few days.

Very nice cosy living room. One of 3 living rooms in this house. Which is really normal in Australia. One for TV/Entertainment, one for Guests, and another one for Cell group/Kids/reading/relaxing.
I guess when you have so much land and such big houses, you need to find excuses for more rooms. In Singapore, our living room is often also our dining room, and for some, their bedroom too. That's us Singaporeans. Efficient. (Tho i wouldn't mind a living room for a big Projector, one for a jamming studio and another for a pool table.. hmm. what do you think God?)
