It Has Been Way Long Ago

My education will not be complete if without this post. There you go guys, my higher education graduation June 2007. Me in my gown standing next to a pile of books made from rocks.Just that moment for every student. However do you notice I was without my square hat? This is because the hat is only for photographing and not to be partaken during the ceremony. Also check out those sitting professors, no hat.
The typical hat throwing in air session with my fellows course mates. L-R: Bah, Anushen, Ian, Caroline, Me, YiLin, Jaz.
Nah! Show you a picture of my back. You see wearing a gown is really hard to maintain it from not falling over. I think the people who had a hard time on me were my sister and my mum. Thank you guys for watching over my neat appearance of the day.
This is one of our favourite leacture, Rinke. My first impression for his name was it sounded like a name also for a kinda whale. However Rinke has taught us how to use biotechnology to modify a plant. I did a project on using this plant biotechnology technique to grow a natural glowing tree. This will be achieved by incorporating the glowing gene of the fire fly into the plant nucleus. I'm not bullshitting. There are really papers on this topic. Who know one day your garden maybe ended up with a natural glowing Xmas tree. *LOL*
Finally here are everyone who was there during the graduation. Thank you for your greetings. You guys too hope you will be successful in your life and live your dream. L-R: Mom, Dad, sis, sis'bf KiKi, Me, Mei, Tim, Cal, and Ronald (the one who was holding the camera). This picture was taken at Newcastle one of the best nominated scenery sight, Grey Street.

The Best Fish Burger

Let us go back to my Istanbul trip. I have not finished about it yet. I'm pretty sure we were around the spice bazaar that day. It was a one fine day and we decided to really walk around and we came to this place. The mosque behind if not mistaken is the Topkapi Palace, where the past sultans have lived. It does look a bit like the Blue Mosque though. See the fish boats in the picture? Look closer...It is there where I wanna bring you.
Tadah!!! The boats were very artisticly decorated and it does look like something you will see during a "flower car" parade. Remember this is not any other boat. It has fake GOLD and it is......
*LOL* a fishing boat. Erm..precisely.. it is people who are selling fish on board. They will de-head, fillet and chargrill the mackeral fish, and you will queue at the jeti waiting to buy. This is the fresh and cannot be any fresher, nice and cannot be any nicer fish burger I have ever have.



Funnily this place is a partially self service environment. We will find a place to sit, however if you are not use to the crowds and eating by the waterfront, my best advice is that you leave. You will be sitting like on a mini stool next to a mini table and lots of fish bones scattered on the floor.
Why I am saying that this is a partially self service environment because you have to queue to buy your own fish burger and they bring you your drinks. So half-half self service! Check check it out my wonderful fish burger. They served the fish in a not McDonald kind of lousy bun but a nice, fresh long bun with pieces of onion and few lectuces. On the mini table you get a botal of lemon juice and salt to season. There will also be kids going around trying to sell you some tissue wipes. The tissue wipes are so effective in getting rid of the fishy smell on your hand. Great way of doing business. Bravo kiddo.
This pickle drink is some great stuff you pregnant woman must try. It will sure satisfy your craving for sour food. It has cumumber and cabbage leaf in it. Erm....not sure about the colour though. We got this from this little cart. I guess this cart must have also belonged to those people on the boat. Another way to make more money.

Finally, how cute and clever is it? This is their sea water sweeper, just like our floor sweeper to keep the place free from rubbish. Honestly so far I find Istanbul is fairly a clean and neat city.

Lord, May You Keep This So It Will Speed Things Up

"That is a very encouraging word. Maybe you can contact with Alan in York to come up sometimes. Surely now you need brothers. But don's forget Bro Nee was raised up by ME Barber and Bro Lee was saved through Sis Doris and Moses was helped through women. Sisters in the Bible represent the seeking ones such as the Mary that gave birth to Jesus and the Mary who met the Lord at His resurrection. For your information. the recovery in Poland was brought in though a group of sisters praying together for one year and the Chinese work in US also though a group of elderly Chinese praying. . Never look down on sisters! You are there under God's sovereign arrangement. I believe that the Lord will do something through you sisters. Just be faithful! Amen. XXX"
This email is very encourging for all sisters here. Although I am still longing for James. It is not easy. Everytime it is a spiritual battle. It does take some difficulties for being an overcomer. However God already knows and today is the third stage which is the intensification which the compound life-giving Spirit was intensified sevenfold to become the sevenfold intensified Spirit (Revelation 1:4, 5:6). This sevenfold intensified Spirit is for the overcoming of the degradation of the church and the producing of the overcomers so that the Body of Christ can be built up in a practical way to consummate the New Jerusalem, which is the unique and eternal goal of God's heart's desire.
That weekend we have people from Cambridge, London and Nottingham came visiting us. It was a wonderful and blessed time. We have beared our first fruit!
Margaret and I were preparing. And everyone else all have wonderful time blending and fellowshipping. The way to enjoy Christ is by calling His name - Oh Lord Jesus.

Strumming for Singing

Do you play any instrument? Piano? Guitar? Drum?

I play the piano. I play guitar. But you wouldn't want to be there when I'm playing. Yeah! That is how bad it is. So, I am now changing another playing direction. I'm playing so for you to sing-along. Isn't that fun to sing-along? Ooh I love singing-along. I like singing. Especially the ones I know. When I like a song, I will keep playing it. Eventually I learn that song by heart. Now I want to play the songs so you can sing-along. To do this, we have to think practical. I cannot carry a piano around but I can carry a guitar. Yup! A guitar. Now can anyone tell me how do you know what key to play when given you a piece of music note? Please don't tell me you just try until you get the right key. Arrggh....I'm not yet there to have that kind of talent.
I will keep on asking. You maybe my next asked person.

All Enchanted Up

Can he read this?
Will he read?

How much longer?
How much more to archieve?
Why can it not be simple?
Is it me or you?

So close, so close, and still so far. Where is our home James?
