it's been 1 week in Perth already. So far, quite good. The weather is still the same - cold cold cold. but, im slowly getting used to it already.

Yesterday night i skyped with my relatives (paternal side). It was really really good to see them again. Thank God for technology. Skype really helps a lot with the homesickness cos you get to talk to and see your loved ones and friends (:

Yesterday, i also went to Yuexing's church. It was quite alright. The people there were mainly UWA students. The sermon was about "Unshakable Faith". Even in times of trouble, uncertainty, grief, we just gotta hold on to our faith in God. People say that we see so that we can believe. But faith is about believing so that we can see.

True enough. Reminds me that i gotta keep having faith in God, to trust Him that He will lead my everyday. Especially now that im here in Perth, in a place that is new to me. There will be times that i face uncertainties. But like the song "Still" says "When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You above the storm. Father You are King over the flood, I will be still and know You are God." So, i know God is always in control of everything, i just gotta keeping having faith.

Today, i went to angela cheng's church. Her church is very much like QBC. So when i went there, there was a homely feeling. And that was when i started to miss QBC, the worship, the service, the people back home. hehe. Today's sermon was about "Having ears, do you not hear?" - Listening to God. Sometimes, when we feel that we can't hear God, it isn't because God is not speaking to us, but rather, we are not listening. Like what the Bible says about being "slow to speak and quick to listen." We need to have a silent mouth so that we can listen to what God has to say to us. We need a listening ear and a responsive heart too. So, be patient and quiet, and listen to what God has to say to you.

School is officially starting tmr. It's just lectures for this week, tutorials will only begin next week. Kind of curious what is it going to be like.. Gotta get into the studying mood now. haa.

Some prayer requests:
1. My stomach. Cos this whole week, im still having mild diarrhoea. It isn't the food. Cos what im eating is the same as what Yuexing is eating. Perhaps my internal system is still adapting. yup.

2. Pray that i know how to manage my time and finances well. haa.

yep. so, thanks for praying! (:
