I decided to step out and face my one very big fear right now...
Apart from the 1,000,000 other fears I have... My fear of...
*gasp*
DRIVING...
Just cuz I stay so out of the way and I find it really embarrassing to get people to come and pick me up all the time... So I went to the licensing centre to convert my license... And since you know that Malaysian License is not recognised in Australia, I have to do it all over again...
So I went to do the theory test...
Which was quite good I scored 30/30... haha which makes it full marks which I haven't scored in n years... well maybe since primary school...
And now, time to step out into the world to face my fear... gonna drive around and get my Drivers license... Yaaaaayyyy no more using my passport to go clubbing *oops* haha not like I go clubbing anyway, but in a way I had this huge burden put down when I stepped out of the licensing centre...
I have decided to face my fear...
Please wish me luck with it...
Muacks
ps... Xuande next time I'll be able to drive you around

Me to Huiyi: This photo look like porn star meh? haha
Huiyi, Me and Huiwen... I promise I'm gonna lose all that weight at my tummy by the end of this semester, I Promise!~!!!!
Friendships never die... Xuande, Me, Huiwen, Huiyi... I love all of you... :) muacks...
Though it's not your birthday, you definitely deserve a shoutout. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for caring all the time. Thanks for understanding. Thanks for letting me rant. Thanks for hating the people I hate and loving those I love. Thank you for your bubbliness and cheerfulness. Thanks for always being that big sister to me. I love you so much. Our plans to eventually study in the same country never worked out huh? =p I can't believe you're graduating this year and you'll be a professional stepping out into the working world and I'll be still struggling in university. We've come a veryyyy long way. From kids watching sleeping beauty and playing with barbies and cupcake dolls, we've grown to girls (women? o.O) that talk about serious issues and plan our future. I love you very very much for being that awesome person you are and for loving me so much I never have to feel inferior around you. You're truly one amazing woman and I mean it. If I could turn back time I'd definitely go back to those days when I could see you every weekend. You're beautiful inside and out!!!!! I'm gonna miss you loads. <3333>
Now you see why I love this girl to bits? hehe...That's because...
She loves me...
haha...
Which is why... She is a doll to me...
Adeline
My smart-yet-can-be-bimbotic-at-times cousin... I love you... love you, love you, love you to bits. You're the only person who can understand the times I get frustrated with my family, the one who is truly smart but yet can be dumb at times. So many times I feel like I can relate to you... because... I know I am smart... but yet dumb at times. Not dumb dumb, but innocent. I'm so thankful you listen to me rant and rave... and just sit there listening to me. I'm so thankful to God for blessing me with this little sister. Someone whom I can talk to, and share with. Someone in the family whom I can speak to, and openly share my faith in Him with. Someone who has been there to listen to me when I cry, who's always so gentle... and somehow able to speak sense to me when I am clinging on to relationships which are obviously going no where. Someone who is my younger sister, yet is like my older sister at times. Our times of dressing up as Liang po po and acting days have long gone. Our polka dot dresses have been given away, together with our barbie dolls and polly pockets. In place are jeans, make up, denim skirts and not forgetting shoes. Yes, if I could turn back time, I'd turn it back to when I could see you every weekend. I love you to bits... just plainly because you are you.
For me, I don't think I'll ever imagine myself as a pharmacist forever.
Neither do I think that I'll stay in Perth forever. I do, however, will consider Melbourne or even the United Kingdom. Afterall, the world's not limited to Perth. Neither is it limited to Singapore, or Malaysia.
Have thought it through. Am not going to yearn to be married... Neither will I think nor consider any BGR relationship at this moment. It is time to plan for MY own future before thinking about other stuff that comes along the way. Of course there will be times I yearn to be hugged, to be treated like a princess by a guy. Afterall, I'm just a plain, normal girl. BUT those times will past. It is temporary. Plan out my future before thinking about other stuff along the way.
Sounds selfish? But yes... To those guys/ people who are not worth it out there... haha... You'll never be more important...
Choices I came up with
1) Pharmacist. I mean... duh... why spend 4 years in UNI if this job will not even be in my consideration list. But then again, don't get me wrong. I love Pharmacy. I don't think I'd ever survive in society studying something else. It's just... there are just so many more things I'd like to do and I don't think Leong Kai Ting would have her aspirations fulfilled if she was stuck in a pharmacy for 30yrs down the road. Life has to go on, and it'll never wait for me.
2) Teacher. For reasons so. Secondary school days have been really well moulded and shaped by my teachers. Of course, if I could choose, I'd teach in Singapore. Again, if I could choose, I'd teach in Secondary school. And lastly, if I could choose, I'd teach in Chung Cheng. Reasons are very obvious. and you can see I'm certainly emotionally attached to my secondary school. Downside? "Miss LEONG"... Gosh... this really yucky teacher called Miss Leong taught at my school before. Apparently she taught geography. And... She had really long kar mor... which she'd pluck in class... haha so... anyway, as Huiyi was saying... Miss Leong teaches on "Coniferous trees" all the time. She would also ask the students to comment on pictures of mud that she took. Gosh I don't think she'd be very welcome into Australia.
I'd always dreamed that, if I were a teacher, I'd be the kind of teacher who would build very good rapport with my students. I'd be the kind of teacher whom all of them loved, would chat to on MSN. I'd always dreamed that my students will love me, not just because of the way I teach, but just my personality. Love me as a friend.
I grew up to realise that this is just part of my imagination. U know how little girls imagine they are princesses in big castles, with princes to rescue them and kiss them to wake them up from their deep slumber? Yes. I think my imagination is comparable to this. and I think it's very obvious why.
a) Parents are growing so so so concerned for their kids I'm worried and even wonder if their kids have chance to breathe. Kids are just growing up so spoilt and demanding... I'd prob have the urge to slap them rather than show them concern.
b) Get close to a male kid (And I mean just emotionally, not physically) and U know what guys will think. And you'd probably be sued for incest. Not elaborating much on this. You understand.
3) Singapore girl. AKA Air hostess... for SIA... haha Huiyi says I can make it. I never thought I could. Mum supports my decision; she said I can after I get my pharmacist registration. I'd say being an air hostess would be every girl's dream. When I was little, I'd say a singer or an actor. I loved the limelight. I loved being the centre of attraction. BUT after I grew up, I'd say... that's not my cup of tea. I'd love to be an air hostess... and visit places I'll never get the chance to visit. Would someone like me... Someone as chor lor as me... someone who's so plain that the world would never take notice be able to qualify as an air hostess?
Well let's see where God takes me to. I might be just plain Kaiting to the world.
But in His eyes, I know I am extraordinary Kaiting. Someone whom He loves.

10 years, every morning listening to that familiar anthemn... Majulah Singapura. Probably the only malay song I know how to sing.
Fond memories crept into my mind...
The early mornings where I HAVE to wake up to go to primary school, waiting for the school bus to arrive...
Waking up at 4:50am... Bus coming at 5:15 pm...
In secondary school...
Times I tried to hitch up my skirt, pull my blouse out...
Times I tried to make myself look pretty to attract the attention of the guys... the sec sch guys...
Was looking at the secondary school students pass by me at Jurong East MRT yesterday. I realised... *hey I did that too~!* when i saw their short skirts and the girls talking animatedly to guys... :) Those were the days where we discovered the opposite sex...
It has gone in a blink of the eye.
mIRC... which has long been forgotten
ICQ... which has gradually been forgotten too...
And of course... the steadfast friendships made...
I miss the Singapore national anthemn... all of a sudden...

A fear of driving...
I am serious...
http://www.jillschmitt.co.uk/page-200.html
Don't ask me why I am scared of driving, I just am. When I used to drive, I could tremble from the time I get behind the steering wheel to the next destination, where my arms and legs just go limp... It's getting better tho...
Hmm... So pls don't force me to drive kk??? I know I know, I'm just slowly getting used to overcoming it...
Woke up (mind you, with a jolt) this morning feeling all panicky and scared and stuff... because I suddenly remembered I have to go do my driving exams all over again in Australia. That itself is a horror movie playing all over again in my mind...

Was reading through someone's journal. And what she said really touched my heart and I made a note of it in my QT...
Jamie Yeo -
I wish my world was smaller. It's too big at the moment...places I've never been and will never go. Guess it's ok though. Could be worse. Life's actually quite sweet and all credit goes to God. He knows I'm only human after all. I complain, sulk, purse my lips...but He just smiles, ruffles my hair and takes me into His lovin' arms. I mutter about dreams unfulfilled, places I've never been to, things I haven't done, food I've never tasted... He just keeps on holding me tight, forgiving me the whole time...and lavishing His grace on little ol' me. I'm His lil girl. For the rest of my imperfect life. And I'm lovin' it.
Once again, God has not failed to touch me in ways I'd never think about. This time through blogging.
What do you think?
This has again reminded me of God's sweet love. The love of my father, our father; I'm reminded once again that when I sulk, or complain or get frustrated with ministry, God just smiles, ruffles my hair and continues to love me. I know he'd hug me if he could do it physically. When I complain, there he is telling me, "dear girl, it's alright, daddy's here". When I cry, I know He cries with me. But he doesn't show it, because He has to be strong for me. When I am upset, he cradles me in His arms, and He continues to love me unconditionally, regardless of the mistakes made. I am forever whole in his eyes, perfect, white as snow; even though to the world my life may be a piece of white cloth spotted with ink. Dirty, and not worth even a penny. Indeed, words cannot express this feeling whenever our Daddy in heaven takes me into His arms, love me, kiss me goodnight. Whenever I wake up to mornings brought by Him, I cannot explain how blessed and loved I am. He is the only one who can bring me peace in times of turmoil; hope in times of hurt. Whenever my world crashes, He is there to hold it up. Whenever I am dry, He fills my cup.
*sighs contented* I am one lucky girl...
John 3:16
For God so loved the world He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Dear friends, commit your troubles to God and continue to be blessed every second of every day~!

Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you."
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked?
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."
Mark 10:29-30So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospel's, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time-- houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions -- and in the age to come, eternal life."
God's promise to me... :) I feel so loved...
I'm a princess...
All for LOVE
All for love a Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love the heavens cried
For love was crucified
Oh how many times have I broken YOUR heart
But still YOU forgive if only I ask
And how many times have YOU heard me pray
"Draw near to me"
Everything I need is YOU
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is YOU
Let me sing all for love
I will join the angel song
Ever holy is the LORD
King of Glory, King of all
All for Love a saviour prayed
Abba Father have your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the cross draw men to you
I LOVE the last verse... All for love a saviour prayed, Abba Father have your way...
Abba Father, have your way...
and Now...
I have absolutely NOTHING happy to blog about...
And how sad is that??? Has my life turned soooooo morbid that I can't even blog about happy stuff????
GriNZ...
I am happy...
Because I have got you in my life... You, you and you... All of you who have been supporting me throughout this time in my life... The down point. Despite all the tears I cry, despite all the brokenness... You have something to cheer me up with...
To you:
Thank you for always telling me you love me... For listening to my troubles... "Love you Kitty" sounds so nice... I really feel loved... Sometimes with all these family troubles, I know you're like one of the few who understand... You hate it... that's why we both stand neutral... And I've been soooooo blessed to know you... thanks darling... :) I love ya too... oooooo and I love it when we sing that song together...
"Before the world began, you were on His mind... and every tear you cry... is precious in His eyes..."
To you:
Thank you for Joshua 1:5b
God says: "I will never leave you nor forsake you"
I was really really upset... BUT this message came in. And it really struck me... That God has never and will never leave me nor forsake me... Thanks for being a really good friend to me... Someone I can really talk to and have fun with... :) You've been awesome... More than any girl could wish for...
To you:
Thank you for teaching me the 4 essentials to give a guy
1) Wallet
2) Suit
3) Watch
4) Nice fragrance
I know it was 2 am and we were talking crap. And I was feeling crap... And I was falling asleep... BUT thanks so much... That cheered me up... a lot... :)
To you:
Thank you for always being there for me. "We've passed the thank you stage" is what U always say to me... But a girl can never thank her close friends enough... So thanks... Thanks for being worried for me... Thanks for always being there for me...
Dears, Despite what has happened... I am still happy... and guess what? I couldn't have done it myself... God gave me you... and you helped me to pick myself up... and I am whole... Because God made me... and God made you...
I can't guarantee I'll not have mood swings... I may be very down and start crying because of things that happened tomorrow... But before all that happens and I start to become annoying... :) Thank you... I have always treasured you... before, now and forever...

And we came across this very funny topic...
Sunscreen allergy. Because when some people are allergic to some ingredients in sunscreen, their face swell up, or they itch or stuff like that happen.
So anyway, my friend is allergic to sunscreen.
Me: So would you rather apply sunscreen and let your face swell up, or would you rather die of skin cancer?
Friend: I would rather die of skin cancer
Me: OMG... U are vainnnnnn...
hehe... why would anyone rather die of skin cancer???? Silly U...
But U're still lovable...
Hehe...

I have forgotten to count my blessings. Thank God for QT, which allowed me to see how blessed I am, which has allowed me to see HIS presence in my life. This verse is so true. How majestic is His name in all the earth~! Not by might, not by power, but by his spirit am I able to praise Him...
Revelation 21:5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
Yes. God can make everything new. EVERYTHING. He can dissolve all family conflict. All problems in relationship, and make it as new as... his new creations. He is soverign. And all I need is faith as small as a mustard seed. I can do it. I will be strong. For God, for myself, for my parents.
God is awesome in this place.
For YOU alone
You are the peace that guards my heart
My help in times of need
You are the hope that leads me on
And brings me to my knees
For there I find you waiting
And there I find release
So with all my heart I'll worship
And unto YOU I'll sing
For YOU alone deserve ALL glory
For YOU alone deserve ALL praise
Father we worship and adore YOU
Father we long to see YOUR face
For YOU alone deserve ALL glory
For YOU alone deserve ALL praise
Father we love YOU
and we worship YOU this day...

Gosh I guess the viral season's come... and mummy says she doesn't feel well... her insides are giving her pain... I was quite scared when I heard it la... esp when she said that cancer relapse patients don't live for more than 5 years... that's scary... I know I can only trust God with that... Since I have given my life to Him... I believe He'll pull my mum through... And all I can do is pray for her health and pray that my parents will come to the saving knowledge of the LORD. Cuz to them now, I believe that they think Christianity is evil... For it has broken up the family into pieces... But I know that that's what satan is trying to do... and I believe the blood of Jesus can damage all the evil that satan wants to bring to my family.
Sometimes I wonder, why doesn't satan repent yet... Why doesn't he want to face the love of God? Doesn't he know that he will never win???
As for me, I have decided to stand strong. No more tears, no more crying. Because I am God's precious daughter... For God, for my parents, for myself, I shall not cry... And I was chatting to Lawrence online that night. He asked me... Have U set any resolution for yourself this year?
I must admit, I have been too tired and been crying too much to think about resolutions... So I thought...
1) This year I shall focus on God, my parents, and my studies. To go all out, become a pharmacist that God, that my parents shall be proud of. I will not focus on other nitty-gritty stuff like *gasps* guys. That will come in due time. but I suppose right now, I am just not mature enough to handle it yet.
2) This year I shall learn to cook, and clean the house. Those who know me you know how bad my cooking skills are, and how much I need to improve on my cleaning skills. Yeayyyyyy one step closer to becoming a tai tai... hehee *kidding*
3) I will become a stronger person than ever. In Christ, and in my parents eyes. I will NOT cry easily. Neither will I portray myself as a weak person.
I would go on to say that I will hide my self... The forever laughing and fun loving person... I will keep that girl away. And learn to become cool, composed and answer with a smile. hmm... but I think I won't be able to do that... :P simply because I love to laugh so much... BUT i'll c how that goes...
Anyway, thanks for calling me these few days... I know U just concerned about me... lalala don't deny... hehe... really needed that... because it made me smile... thank you~!

and what happened after the wedding...
And are worried for me...
Dun worry...
Because I am stronger than I seem to be...
Correction, God makes me stronger than I can be...
Please stay happy for me...
Because, if I'd give up, I'd have given up ages ago...
So I will not give up now...
I didn't give up before, I will not give up now, neither will I give up in future...
Because... Philippians 4:13 says
I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.
ALL things
Love ya...
