My most memorable dinner with my brother & sister in Christ! I am definitely the most blessed person ever. They showered me with love & affection that I couldn't ask for more. I was reluctant and felt too troublesome to plan a farewell dinner with them at first. But I'm glad I did so because I have the most fun night with them. We chat, laugh, talk & have lots of fun just spending our night together.
We started off buffet steamboat & enjoy our meal to our heart content then headed to yoyo lintas for second round of the night.
With the girls!
With the boys & Father Paul!
I wanted to hug each and everyone of them but I was shy! Super shy to even give any farewell speech. Being present on that night were much better than anything else. I got to hug few people tho, one of them was him. He was the guy I hugged tightly and most precious to me because I long for him. Yet in the end I realized it was only attention & affection was what I yearn for. I love the way he treats me & all the affection he showered me making me much more special than anyone else. As if we were really madly in love of each other.
Now that I realized it, I'm not leaving with any hard feelings and uncertainties. I was really happy to be able to spend the time with all of them as much as possible. I think I've even neglected my parents for the past two weeks time. I've been going out so frequently that I barely spend my time with my parents. Now that my aunt is coming back next week its gonna be family day for the entire week until I depart on 28 June.
I am so excited to fly off soon! Now that my visa & application is ready & completed I can officially go study & enjoy my Aussie life to my heart content. I've imprinted all of them deeply into my heart that I don't felt like I am separated from them at all. 2 years time actually pass by very fast. So its not that heart broken or sad to begin with.
I must learn to be much more independent than I used to be. I must be able to do things by myself and through Christ! Praise the Lord & feeling blessed in every way that guided me through this journey. It is a huge step to move on, moving towards where I could find the dreams & passion that I'm searching for. Even though going for childcare was not in my interest, but I chose this path because this might be one of the way I can see the light that I was looking for. Don't forget to count your blessing no mater how big or small <3
This pretty sums up what I've been doing during my holiday Kaamatan. I went to Bundu Tuhan Chinese Teen Camp 2016 this year. It's been so long since I've went to this camp. I first went to this camp when I was 12 years old. Its been 12 years & still going strong. With its foundation teen are more involved every year. Seeing how they organized & improved each year really shows that they are our future.

I grew up with comfort & love from my friends & family. They shower me attention & affection that I couldn't ask for more. But as we grow up & learnt that not all are lucky & fortunate as I am. I've participated this camp as part of leader representative for our church. I've listen & seen few teen in this camp. I've realized that they need help & attention more than anything else. Because they are still growing. They are our future leaders.
As an adult we were so focus on ourselves that sometimes we neglected those who needs more attention & care that needed. During the last night in the camp we headed to the church for a reflection & silence. As the event started I've already tearing up non stop. Because ALL the things I've reflected & remembered were all the blessing that I've received! I was tearing in happiness but at the same time I teared up for all these kids.
They slowly open up to themselves & ask for forgiveness (thumbs up to the emotional music as well) It was the best feeling I've received as well, because it shows that they are able to do things through Christ! I just wanna say that I'm grateful & blessed for all my life to have such wonderful life I have right now. It was such unforgettable memories!
