Boiled UP

First of all, thank you to God for getting me where i am today and thanks again for sending me help and enlightenment when i need it.

The first of my last exams is on tomorrow, and yes i can feel the heat(literally, its 32 degrees today ==, 34 tomorrow).

It was a rough day knowing what was ahead of me, a bit of last minute studying, uncertainty teasing me and worst of all discouragement.

After all these years of torment, I've learnt how to deal with these circumstances.
No emotional outlet can satisfy my bottled up anger and rage.
But I can always find peace within the Lord.


And so even though I thought I've been looked down on, humiliated and betrayed
I can now see it as panic, nervousness and maybe even concern.

I can end this post without doubt.

Gunna PWN the HSC!!

Back from STM@ Bathurst

Praise the Lord.
God only looks at our hearts.
coz He doesn't need our good looks and skills.
as long as we have the hearts for his great work, He uses us.
all strengths and gifts r God breathed.
If we are beasty chef, guitarist, speaker, but with no heart and burden to be His humble servant.. He dismisses us as we don't serve to glorify Him.

It feels like it was the holy spirit in me, that did all the food prep and cooking.. and the talking...

Welcome to Graduation

back from melb.

uni results realised this morning.
ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa
passed all.
outta here hehehehe...

vm's back.. gonna watch bruno with him tonite.
sick.

dad's struggling with $... wth? sif...
bon's annoying but i can und.
i m so black and white it's not funny. i almost have no greys in life.

i m told millions of times that i m evil.
nah... i m not. i just try to be just.
Some people think Christianity is unfair if our God lets the non believers and non followers go to hell, even if they've done good things in life... i'm like, so what? they done good things to the world? what good things? were those things good according to our Lord? or were they just good according to the world's good/evil judgement, that came from The Tree?

I recently thought the salvation and gospel can't be that hard to understand. So i was like.. sif ppl can't get it and see it. Oops i was wrong. Bonnie told me i m very blessed that i m granted wisdom by God to understand His plan. there! age and background don't matter. see.. i get taught by lil sten sometimes.

Unemployed

No post for a while,
because I left my camera with Ivan... and I wanted to get it back before I update this again.
However, I saw him in the weekend but forgot to ask him. So.. no new photos, yet.
Ok, here are the updates:

  • At last, uni's over. Forever

  • not confident with one exam, it's an elective. so if i fail i can still fill in the gaps by this winter. phew

  • did something horrible. it was a revenge. i shouldn't have. in God's law, i was wrong. but this is it. Benny needs to grow out of it. forgiveness. i m still struggling to have more of it

  • looking for jobs every day and nite. faith with patience is the key
  • Sten's bday. sorry can't attend party. me and ivan got her a Donna Hay cookbook.

  • this friday after Elijah fellowship, we'r gonna have 2nd practice on the song we performing on Saturday nite. sigh~ some person sings very loudly but fails to read the scores properly. i m not good with music even though God blessed me with a unique and stunning voice. but at least i can count the bars and follow the beat. sigh. guess i should pray for that person and step up to correct him with brotherly love.

  • so fri sat sun 3 days of church..

  • been spending alot of quality time with bonnie (and sometimes with her boyfy too) since exams over. her housemate/landlord is cool for me to sleep over very often. guess she wants me to explain more to her about Jesus and salvation. wooh~ God is using me yay. Oh she said i can only stay if I cook for her and bonnie. I'm like... I LOVE THAT IDEA!


  • Ok... yes. FOOD. Loving it more than ever. i started looking at recipes straight after my final exam. gees. 90% of my time i think about food, i talk about food.. i research on cookery, i watch it on tv, i youtube it, i make it, i eat it. I m learning so much these days.

  • But.. in terms of jobs... i m avoiding the kitchen scene. i m refusing it. i m worldly and greedy. i know. i too have dreams. cooking in commercial kitchens will confine me into a longhour box. would miss out of the corporate lader. But if God did create me to be a cook... then i probably have to do it. His will, not mine.

  • Wedding.. one in July. Joey and Sharon. I m in the food team, excited.

  • Sunday arvo, interview. For the Allen Webb disipleship training. Rev Webb and his wife are delightful.

  • 11pm last weekend. me ivan james on mount wilson. the highest point on the blue mountains. star seeing. epic view. the whole milky way.

  • by going back to hk now, for good, i could have a life style of a prince. wealth and power. bonnie doesn't want me to. srsly if i go back now, life would be too easy. big appartment. my own room, high tech. big corporate sharks offering. business plans offering. nah. Bonn has enlightened me. hk would cut my time with God. would cut my involvement and interaction with the church. that's crappy. out plan is to stay here and make parents retire to here. in aust. that's the only way to keep them goign to church and to know God.

  • i am loving the bible. guys go read it. that really is all the wisdom that u'll ever need.

What is my career path gonna be? i dunno. kitchen again? sigh.
God has blessed me with cookery, singing, business mind... and more to find out later in life. looks like cooking has finally letting me to serve him. i cook for people and tell them about Him. nOice. singing - i must continue to sing to Him. my agro business mind is a natural. born with. grown up with. had always been in that environment and tasted my own success. by far, it's all negative in the benefits of the gospel. so bonnie was right. don't go back to hk or it's all gay.



cook cook cook... tmr is a brand new day. to cook.

That incident.
20 years.

It was wrong and they should admit it.

I wish I could support the leaders who were able to flee to America and here. Good on them for posting what they took out of China onto the internet.

Inspired

Saddly there had never been much attention paid for HK produced comic books.

Actually its peak was the 90s when everyone talked about them and was against them because of their adult themes and language. Parents always had a go at them and the people who read them, especially the blue collar workers who roll up the comic books and hold them in their jeans' back pockets (like the gamblers' newsletters).

Really wanna stress the point that the authentic HK comic books are amazing. The art work is so fine and the water colouring skill is epic. I used to buy one or two every week.

Yeah~ inspired by the Young and Dangerours Comics and made this...



Tonight I am cooking for the bros and sisters at Elijah Fellowship. Gonna make 12 serves of chicken Laksa... very excited about it already. But now I'm gonna do some homework first.

Kangaroo

i finally ate Kangaroo. I gourmetted it.
Damnnnnn Noice~!

I served it with my perfect potato mash. I did the mash with creamy butter and evaporated milk. Salt and freshly grounded peper. And plenty of dry pasley.

So the mash was on the centre on the plate. On the mash it was layers of Bok Choi. Yes! Chinese Bok Choi! I cooked it in salt and ginger water.

Then on the bok choi it was the thick cut of kangaroo steak. I grilled it on the grilling pan, 6 mins of high heat on each side, in extra virgin olive oil and butter. Dark brown and crispy outside, but pink and tender inside (I soaked the steaks in absolute Vodka for 15 mins before cooking).

I used the same pan to make the sauce. My mate Jade told me that kangaroo meat goes with a sweet glazy sauce, so I used a semi dessert wine - Sparkling Rose. I used the same pan for the meat fat and juice left from cooking the steaks.


So it looked like this:

Last week

Didn't end up posting again after opening this.
On Friday I got up way early... to attend a formal business meeting as part of Uni.
I trained to Parra and ate McD breakie before bussing to North Parra.
I hated my group. They had so mistreated me in the last 10 weeks, with racism and lack of trust.
They really thought HK is a farming village huh? Anyways... I just lost it... I knew I was gonna.
I had put up with them for so long and I am just the finest when it comes to Event Management, both theory and hands on. I am experienced, with the Optus days and the tough Melbourne years! They don't know me!
I kaned my own group at the formal de-breathe meeting. The org's media representative was there so all these noobs got so nervious lololol... even they been fronting all these times. i took over for the first time and I rep the uni now. I answered all the questions and made all these noobies look stupid. Muahahah I am so evil. They got so nervious in the conference room, which I don't think is that "Woah". Photographer came in and they all looked uncomfy. So the photographer dropped them all, saying they just want Benny, the lecturer and the org event manager to be in the photo. I was the one presenting the cheque lol. My whole team sat there and watched me doing the photoshoot and will be going on the newspaper without them. Sucked in.
