September Realisations

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... after a month :)

Guess I have not mention anything about my current master program in QUT. Oh well, yes, a master student! And yes, I just finished my tons of assignments last Friday 1159pm, successfully handed in 4 big ones all in that one week. I literally went crazy a bit. Which is why I had myself a week off, from all lectures and tutorials, nor any book or lecture recording, simply enjoy life the way I want it to be. It feels good. So good. And yesterday, it marked the one last day for the self-claimed holiday. Today, things will be back to normal, again, until the next to come I suppose? ;)

Things happened throughout the whole month. People come people go. You have no way to stop it from happening, but at the very least, I learnt things out of it. I learnt, everyone has his or her own lifestyle. You should not, nor have you the authority, to change someone's way of living. That's just insane, no matter who that someone is. So really, be it, or leave it. That's just a lesson of course, in theory. Practically, I have learn to accept who the people are, in my life. I mean I am still learning, but trying hard not to judge people from just my own eyes, I know how bad they can go sometimes. Guess what, throughout this season, God reminded me so much, of how to love people the way He did and He does, the way He has been loving me. Love, because you can. Love, because that is the most important thing in the world. Love, because He first have loved you, despite how unloving you are.
BUT, there's always an exception!!! To those of whom I love so much, who have given me the authority to, I WILL STRIVE TO CHANGE YOU TO A BETTER ONE. I don't care, or you don't give me the authority, or you change! Hehehehhee =P ♥

Feel like sharing a very good story that I've heard recently, while it is still fresh in my mind. The story goes a bit like this. A teenager who is going through some tough times talked to the father about it. The father then ask him to boil a pot of water, put in CARROT, EGG, and a TEA BAG, continue boiling. When it is done, the father had the child to break the CARROT. It is so fragile that it broke immediately, without much effort. The father then said, carrot is hard initially, but under pressure, it breaks. In life, it signifies many people who just gave up while they are facing those problems in life, despite how strong and powerful they were before those problems. Then, when the child holds the egg, it is hard. The liquid that was in it formed something solid after the boiling process. Which is very much talking about how people have harden their hearts not to believe in life anymore, after they went though something difficult. Finally, the tea bag. It doesn't change much, it is still a tea bag. But guess what, the whole pot of water changed! The colour changed, the smell changed, even the taste is much better now. WAOW So tea bag went though tough times, it didn't change, but it changed the surroundings. I was really amazed by the story, and realized so much from it. People, when we are under pressure, you choose your way. You can either be broken down into pieces, be harden up, or you be the one who changed the whole world. Choose wisely. ;)

End this post with one of my recent favourite portrait. Hehehe ;)

Graduated from The University of Queensland! :D


It started here...
It was a really coldy windy night, when this bunch of us arrived in Brisbane Airport. 9th July 2012 I remembered. Then, there's a long long story happened throughout this one year, probably will talk about it in another post later, as now, me gonna concentrate just on my graduation! ;)

Proudly present to you, an undergraduate from 
The University of Queensland, Australia
the Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting and Finance. Clapclap*
Holding flowers from daddy on the right and koala bear from UQ 9 on the left ♥

One whole year, two long semester, been through enough stresses and craziness. From how I was amazed by the giant campus and get lost all the time, countless skipping lectures and tutorials, rushing assignments to the last second of the due day, many sleepless nights just to eat up every letter in the notes as possible, promise not to be last minute for the next exam and failed every single promise, repent to God everytime before the exam...... to today, I passed every single subject and be able to graduate successfully as scheduled, telling me my God is not watching me huh? I doubt that! :') 

Many many thanks to those who attended my graduation ceremony on that day. You know, it means so much so much to me! 

UQ 9. Love as usual! ♥
My fellow Yakiniku-ians!
The girls. Apparently there's a missing one dont know where she lost to =P
Ahh.. there she is! ;)

Last but not least,


My forever beloved family! ♥
Really wanna thank my family who are always always there to support whenever I am in need. I dont always say it out loud, but deep down in my heart, you are so important to me! ♥ 

Graduation pressies received! Definitely a happy girl!! :)
... and it ends here.

I might have graduated from the Bachelor degree, but I believe, it really means something else is getting started, one way or another. Graduation does mean something, you know, the first proper one in life, and yet, what I truly appreciate is not the ceremony itself, but how it indicates that I've achieved something higher in life. As time goes by, mistakes made, lessons learnt, I believe I am definitely a better me now! Yet, not gonna stop here, I will continue this uncertain journey, to where God leads me to be. One day in the future if I happen to read back all these, I wish I can remember what I have been through, with the tears of joy, appreciate everything I have in life. Good luck!!

I love Cairns.

After a year studying here, finally I am done with my Bachelor course!! Gonna skip the unspeakable torture part about what we have been through the final exam, the thing is, we went through, and here come the 'waited for soooooooooooo long' Cairn's graduation Trip ;)


A lot of the times when it's just non stop discussing and no one making any decision or action, things will never be done. It's a 4 days 3 nights trip of which we have planned out of random (I suppose) and I really glad that we made it! :) Forgotten when was the last time of me feeling really really really excited about a trip. This time, the word 'Cairns' will pop out in my mind even during exam period. Keep flipping the pages of the little travel booklet introducing Cairns, I know how anticipated I was, and definitely I know the reason why. :)

From Brissy
From Adelaide
From Melbourne

Once again, meeting up with my lawyers' gang. Too bad a lot of them couldnt make it due to the never ending exam, but I know we have more to come. Let's just wait and plan for the next one. Hehe

Accommodation
As shown in the above, there's a total of eight of us, so we decided to stay in an apartment which consists of two bedroom, with one double bed and two single beds each, named ReefGateway. It is a really nice apartment with many necessities provided (even washing machine and dryer!) Click on RGgallery to check out different pictures about the apartment. Trust me, the real condition is just as nice as the picture. :) Also, the owners of the place are really friendly and helpful. The cost for 3 nights is $450 which is like 55 ish per person, reasonable. To me, personally, if there has to be something bad about the place, I would say it's a bit too far from the city. It might be ok for some people to walk like 20-30 minutes to the city along the esplanade but definitely not to me, I don't really walk a lot. Hehe. But guess what, that's not a very big deal after all. We basically order for Cab everytime when we needa go out or come back. Just a few minutes drive and it costs about 15- 20 bucks per way, which after the division, cost us less than 2 dollar each. Saving energy saving time, why not? Teeheee~


Okaes. Now its the exciting part, THINGS WE DID IN CAIRNS

First night, Blue Fireflies. 
Actually it wasn't just about blue fireflies. That is a tour that bring us to 3 different places, to experience Hummer like a real life roller coaster, to watch the starts and blue fireflies, and also to feed wallaby in the dark. 

Our Hummer and the driver!
Wallaby- the mini Kangaroo
Out of all three for the first night, I love the starts and the bluefireflies so so much! It was the first time when I see so much starts in the dark sky, different in both sizes and brightness. And the first time, when I see the Polaris and Southern Cross stars with my own eyes, not in the book or the internet, but my OWN EYES!! Awwwwww ♥♥♥ 

Second day, the reason I came Cairns, Scuba Diving!


Ever since the last time I went sea walking in Pattaya, I knew there must be something linking me and the sea. First time in life, scuba diving. Before that, we had a short lesson about what to do under the sea. Everyone sort of understand everything, but when it comes to real under the sea, it's not really that easy then. I am glad that even though I was a bit nervous when I first went down, I made it to the end! The world under is really different, different in a way that I love so so much!   



Other than deep dive, there's also a total of 5 hours unlimited snorkeling in two different spots. Unbelievable clear water, that you will see flock of fishes swimming here and there. AMAZING



Another excitement of the package, helicopter bring us to fly for 10 minutes around the Great Barrier Reef. 



View from top of the sky :)
Last but not least, I enjoyed very much sitting on top front of the cruise, under the sun yet strong wind blowing... Someone please fulfil the promise of having your own cruise and send me an invitation to make this happen again. Hehe

To my beloved diving instructor, Thank you. You did a good job. Love the way how you gave us the short lesson, funny and interesting. Thank you for reminding me to use my camera when I was so amazed by the underwater view, and help me to change the camera from left to right hand. Thank you for showing me different things under the sea, even though we can't communicate through speaking. Thank you for bringing me down again, when I thought that it's gonna end there. Thank you for being such a hero, you know what am I talking about. :) No idea if we will ever meet again, but definitely you are someone of whom I will never ever forget. Such an experience, such an excellency. ♥


Day 3, another first one in life, Rafting.

Have no idea what rafting was, I just want to try everything. A total of few hours raft, under the command by a well trained river guide, all we did was just listen to her command! Yes, its a her!


It was really exciting and I don't have any chance to take picture especially when we were to raft across many different challenging areas. Throughout the journey,  Paddle, Hold on, Get down Keep left, Keep right... listen each and every command carefully.You know, if you are not holding tight enough, the whole thing will just flipped upside down, and you will be all wet! ;)


me and my team! ;)

Basically that's everything about Cairns. Once again, I wanna tell you how much I appreciate each and every travelling we had together. Thank you for being there together with me, having so much fun and laughter together. Seriously, plan for a next one? ;)




I love Cairns. We love Cairns. ♥


PS: If and only if you approve my request ;)

鞭炮四姐妹+打火機

♥刘娜娜 ♥
♥陈玲敏♥
♥罗晓琴♥
 相信大家應該不陌生。這三個女人就是我的鞭炮姐妹花。當然少不了那把打火機。。。

♥黄德凯♥

好啦。要承认一下,就突然想念你们了啊。知道谁谁最近在曼谷过了没有我的快乐日子,垂涎三尺的食物汗逍遥照每天都狂灌着我的INSTA,FB。一个过了艰难的考试,现在在家乡逍遥着。再不然就是那个留在大城市的,每天享受着天仙般的生活。还有那个谁谁,现在汗新男友甜蜜到不行,让人羡慕多多。至于那个槟城男,日子过得很苦吧?想法都没有变积极点吗?呵呵

想念想念想念

回忆着曾经的一点一滴。当时的我们,如此年少轻狂,做着想做的事。还有那段在学校的风光日子,想起来嘴角都会不停直上扬。虽然偶尔有些小烦恼,但都可以一起支持着,应付着。有着各自的性格,却能如此紧紧被吸引在一起。神太厉害了啦,居然把我们这么完美的组合凑在一起。感激满满! 

我想說,我不能想像失去任何一個你們,日子會怎么樣。當時的你們,讓我找到了自己的方向,開始有了自己的想法。也因為你們,日子過得比想像中容易很多。現在的我們,雖然都天各一方,依然彼此相愛著,心也都還是繫在一起。相信我,你們對我來說, 很重要!

離下一次見面時間。。 啊!好久!=(

拜託大家,繼續過好日子。不行的時候,就再多撐撐一下。好希望看到大家一步步走向光明前程。超為你們感到驕傲的!!

就這樣。好好照顧自己。

超級霹靂無敵愛著你們的我,
♥張慧敏♥

Self Reflection

Have been thinking about these questions recently. 
Why am I knowing so little about things happening around me? Why am I not being able to give my opinion whenever people asked, especially opinion related to myself? Why am I so not bother about replying people's whatsapp, message, phone calls when I felt like I'm lazy to talk, which is like almost all the time? Basically, why am I caring so little?

Well, they really bothered me a lot recently! I started to get frustrated with my 'Errr... Don't Know?' as an answer when I was thrown with a question. I started to realize this laziness and super not observant little by little, ruined my relationship with friends. I forgot what they love, what they hate, what subjects they are taking, and most importantly, how much they have been loving me! I found myself too busy with my own 'forever busy status', accidentally forgot to pause for a minute and pay attention to the things and people happening around me.

After all, I thank God for reminding me about all these. Also, all these while, everyone who is still there even though I might not seem to care a lot, you never leave!! :') Friends and loves, you guys mean sooooo much to me! Think it's really time for me to tell myself that I will try my best to change. Not instantly, but will continue to remind myself about this important issue. Give me some times, I promise I will be a better me! Wink*
                                                                                                                                        

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Today is a random day. I love randomness, even though during this exam period, when I have so much more left to study! Thank you girls. ;) Okaes! Shall not continue to take my God's grace for granted! Shower time, Study time. 

Rushing this post, and yet not forget to bring up a selfie! Teehee

Easter Break


Taaaaaaaaaaa Say Hi to my Godly family here in Brissy - UQ9! ;)
Felt so glad that I actually decided to attend this Oceania Convention which held in Philip Island this year. Recall back, I thought that was something unrelated to me. Never really think about it even though keep having people around talking about it since dont know when. Purposely fly to Melbourne to attend a conference? Nah.. not something that I'll ever consider...
But yea, somehow, when Josie asked me again when I was still having holiday in Malaysia, I started to REALLY think about it. I dont know why...
Apparently I decided to go after all! Despite the cost, despite the time wasted not to study... GUESS WHAT! I've gained so much more in return! Not to mention about all those fun I had with them, I've gained so much from God! My spiritual grow, the breakthrough in something that I've been holding on.. most importantly, the baptism of HOLY SPIRIT! Hallelujah!! God is good! He made me there, and everything that I once thought I have to sacrifice for this trip, He gave it all back, DOUBLE PORTION! Thank you LORD!


They walk like heading to the battle of God! ;) windblowing*
Pull and pull harder!
YEAP!! Apparently Guys do selfie as well! LOL
Always need a jump shot!
I know I shouldnt do this, but well, unit leader's SELFIE inside my  phone! HAHA!


Ehem ehem. Brissy people doing crazy stuff in the city of Melbourne! ;)
I can 200 percent assure you that God blessed me so much, that I was planned to meet them and grow together with them in spiritual life. I have literally nothing else to say but just non-stop thanking God for His blessings since forever. How I wish we could have actually met a little earlier. Thank you each and everyone. Can't wait to explore so much more from God that He has already planned for us... together. ♥

Speaking of Melbourne City, Please allow me to talk a little of the FOOD there!
Due to the time constraint, I've got just the yummy lamb from Stalactites Melbourne. Tried once when I first went to Melb last year end and I'm really SO in love with it! Second time, despite a little not too polite stuff, I still give it 10 out of 10 starts, for the food! Awwwwwww I love it! 
Click STALACTITES to know more about this Greek restaurant! It is a MUST try in Melb!




Andandand... UNAGI!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Look at the giant Unagi!! Totally cannot resist!! Can you imagine they are free? YES they are free!! From dearest Uncle! OMGOMGOMGOMG. Looking at the picture now which is just a PICTURE! Awwww I miss the taste so badly!


Picture of Unagi contributor, Dearest uncle hiding his face! LOL


Then, I fly off to Adelaide. A place where lots of them are there, a place where I've been calling to go for so long and finally, I went! 
She is my love. One of the most familiar face in my bloggie ;) Yeap, she is the one keep complaining me going every other places in AUS but ADL. There I went, sleeping next to her in her queen sized bed every night. Well, most of the nights I slept watching her doing her assignment. Thank you, for every single second that you've made yourself available for me. I know you are busy, but I love you still! 

Meet up with her friends.. Names that have been hearing from her all the time. Glad that you have such a bunchie there enjoying so much life with you! ;)



And these two wonderful girls, accompanied me the whole day, bringing me to everywhere possible in Adelaide. Thank you Juliana. Thank you Yen Shiang. Thank you for giving me your precious time. I really do have fun with you girls! ♥ Come to Brisbane one day, I will exchange the role with you. ;)

Was granted a car in Adelaide! ;) Thanks to the GPS sitting beside me. and most importantly thanks to the car owner Yong Fong. Thanks for trusting me enough like non of all guys did! Emphasizing once again to everyone, I am really good at driving. Like really really good! 


On the street of city of Adelaide.
Favourite Season: AUTUMN! 

Stayed for 5 days in Adelaide, and I had 4 days full of chocolate and dessert! At least one per day, sometimes even twice! Trust me, Adelaide has dozens and dozens of dessert shop and I havent even finish trying every single one! Just two pictures to prove some part of it...


The above are just like 10 percent of it? Never had chocolate everyday like this so crazily before.. the first time ever! And you can guess how much weight I've gained from this 5-day-trip. :( 
Anyway, after all, I love their dessert! Yea.. apparently.. who dont like huh?




My future lawyers! Had been knowing some of them since years ago. I still have the fun in mind of our trip to Penang, the first time we all met! Thank you for the hospitality. Treat me like I'm a princess everytime we met. I love this way of us meeting up once a very long while. And I wonder when will be the next? ;) Can't wait! By then, please take care. Play hard and study hard! I'm still so proud of all of you!!!

That's all for today! Can you believe I actually have a midterm coming this Saturday and I've yet finish studying and I am now blogging here? Okaes Bye! I love you Bloggie!
