OK! A good news. I manage to transfer from bachelor of sci to bachelor of biotech a...n...d.. to.... Bachelor of Pharmacy. YAY! Really thank GOD for that. I'm excited to be a pharmacist after four years. I guess God is really good to me. He really knows our hearts' desire. I always hope that my occupation would be a job that I can help and serve people regardless of the amount that the company is going to give me. AND being a pharmacist, you are not only able to help and serve people, you will also get a good pay. :) Praise the Lord! However all this comes with a price, that is to study really hard for all this four years. Actually, it is worth it. Four years of suffering and forever enjoyment based on how my housemates are living their life right now. Heehee... I guess from this part onward is how I feel right now. I like slacking right now. I'm feeling very dry and tired. Totally stress up and tired. Sucks! Totally hate that feeling because my mind keep reminding that I still got alot of things to revise, understand and I got two tests this Friday. One of them is 10%. In the midst of all this conversation in my brain, I was prompt to read about God’s words and his promises. I decided to do my devotion using “our daily bread”. And this is what It says on the April 12, 2010:
“It was a simple task, but I was in over my head. One of the items on the grocery list was soy. Problem was, I didn’t know what kind of soy my wife, Sue, had in mind when she made the list. After searching the aisles and asking the advice of a worker who was stacking soup cans, I grabbed a bottle of soy sauce, placed it in the cart, and went on my way.
Only after I unloaded my bags at home did I discover that Sue didn’t want soy sauce. She wanted soy milk for our granddaughter Eliana. I was sincere in my search. I even asked for help and confidently pulled my selection off the shelf. But it didn’t do me (or Eliana) any good. I had the wrong stuff.
Sadly, some people are walking through the grocery store of life with “heaven” on their list, but they are not getting what they need. Despite their sincerity and the intended help of others, they grab something that won’t get them to heaven because they find a “different gospel” (2 Cor. 11:4).”
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). And Peter said, “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Trust Jesus. Don’t settle for the wrong gospel. — Dave Branon
Not all roads lead to God,As many people claim;There’s only one true way—Christ Jesus is His name. —Sper
Christ is the only door into heaven.
I was like ok! But that doesn’t seems to be what I’m looking for. Anyway I would just try to remember that then I saw this part that say “Read: John 14:1-6”. Ok! I shall read that.
John 14 1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."
Jesus the Way to the Father
5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I guess this whole story really talks to me. Throughout the past few weeks. I feel really troubled. I tell myself that I have to pass all my 4 years without repeating any. I can’t afford to stay back any year. No excuse of being lazy anymore. I’m so blinded by my studies until I forget what God promise us. Why am I so foolish to be troubled over my studies when my daddy is greater than anyone and he is smarter than anyone? If I ask, he can also be my teacher because he is the creator; he can give me knowledge and wisdom to understand everything.
I praise the Lord for renewing my faith and bringing the peace into my heart.
Now Stephanie poh is getting back to work. I’m going to Jia you !
Take care everyone! J

Have you all listen to the song "God of this city"?<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2talU4fA-Y >Go and listen to it ! It's really nice. I love the starting piano part. I don't know how to describe that part.hmm... Peaceful? It does help to brighten up my days too. Moments when I feel so lonely,moments when I feel like giving up. Some of you might find it weird because the lyrics is all about praising God. Then why am I feeling peaceful and happy after listening to this song? To me I guess is because I just feel that something is stirring up within me. The heart of worship. To continue to give praises no matter what am I going through because I know my God is a faithful God, and I can do all things through him who gives me strength.
Isaiah 55:11
So is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty,but will accomplish what i desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Here's a testimony. The previous post ,I said that I did my first 300-500 essay until 3 am right.! =) I got back the results already.I got A- which is high distinction. The weightage is 5 percent of the academic english course. I must say this is really GOd's glory because It is really a last minute work. All the glory belongs to GOD! Amen! hmm.. However it doesn't mean last minute work is good so don't try it man. I got quite alot of grammer mistakes. Imagine if I did it earlier I would have enough time to ask my friend to correct it and maybe get even higher marks. =) This is the goodness of doing things ahead of time. Mistake learnt!
From left to right: hueh ching, diane,eugene,dinesh, sandhya,priscilla, me and muriel (mirror). wahahah!!!

SORRY EVERYONE! Wow! I didn't update for 1 month already. That's fast. heehee.. I'm actually really busy nowadays. I'm getting more and more assignments and projects. ( Seriously It is so tiring. I have been telling myself "ok!after this week I'll be able to do whatever things I want." HOWEVER assignments just keep coming in. I just thought of this word "DRAINING!" Writing essay is the worst. I had just submitted my first 300-500 words essays last monday which cost me to do it until 3AM! REFERENCING! FORMAL LANGUAGE! COLLOCATIONS! PASSIVE VOICE! This is what we expected to have in essay. *faint! The worst part is that I couldn't find one of my reference link. Everyone might be thinking " That's easy! Just to go the history to find it." That's what I did but to my horror,I realise my laptop has already auto compiled all the links that I viewed throughout the week into one since it's already like 3am(Monday). I can't believe my eyes, it is like hundred of links. I look through 1 quarter of it and I gave up. It's just too hard and tiring for me to carry on. By faith I just submit it just like that, praying that the teacher will not realise it. ;p ok! I need to go get back to work! TAKE CARE! woo! BBQ for australia studies this friday! I will post some pictures of it if possible.
It's WINTER!!!COLD!!!

I FEEL LIKE JUMPING!!!!!!! *JUMP*JUMP*JUMP* PRAISE*PRAISE*PRAISE*
haha! Reason being I'm listening to "COUNTING ON GOD!" It really makes me feel like jumping and praising GOD. I can remember clearly it's the last night for me to be in the youth camp last year. Everybody were like singing:
VERSE 1
I'm in a fight not physical
And I'm in a war
But not with this world
You are the light that's beautiful
And I want more
I want all that's Yours
PRE-CHORUS
Joy unspeakable that won't go away
And just enough strength
To live for today
So I never have to worry
What tomorrow will bring
'Cause my faith is on solid rock
I am counting on God
CHORUS
I am counting on
I am counting on God
BRIDGE
The miracle of Christ in me
Is the mystery that sets me free
I'm nothing like I used to be
Open up your eyes you'll see
YES! Everybody is not like what they are used to be because all of us have changed for the better. I'm counting on GOD in every parts of my life. Amazingly, MAY is coming really soon. yay! but it also means winter is coming really soon too..(june) It's already so cold nowadays. =) By the way I'm doing fine here is tassie. Studying hard and always looking at my brother because his study table is just infront of me. wahaha.. We always bomb each other in the room (* family joke) He is studying really hard. *seriously! * I guess playing really hard too! LOL.. oh.. ya.. That song reminds me of dwayne lau too! wahaha.. "I'M counting on ,counting on ....GOD!" I cannot remember how many times have we sang it man! hmmm....3-5 times? haha..

For your nearness Lord I hunger
For your nearness Lord I wait
Hold me ever closer Father
Such a love I can’t escape
For your nearness I am hoping
For your nearness Lord I long
Have no need of any other
I have found where I belong
Yes, I have found where I belong
So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord
In your nearness there is healing
What was broken now made whole
Restoration in its fullness
Lasting hope for all who come
In your nearness I take shelter
Where you are is where I’m home
I have need of only one thing
To be here before your throne
To be here before you throne
So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord
And keep me here, keep me here
There’s nowhere else I rather be
So keep me here, keep me here
There’s nowhere else I rather be
There’s nowhere else I rather be
So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer my Lord
