and the journey begins.. February 28, 2007

And so.. all the bags were finally packed.. (two days of packing!) and the time was soon to come for a new beginning..
I don’t regret making this decision to leave for higher studies..Neither am i all happy till the stage of naiveness..I guess, as age catches up with one, you start to realize that you take everything as a normal transition of life progress.
Thus, as excited as many will feel for me, i believe that the only one who would really urge and be there for me is, my Dear Jesus.. afterall, aint this a walk? A Walk Of Faith.
We left for the aiport at 1030pm, sunday, 25th February for our depature time of 115am, 26th February.
14 friends came to bid their farewell and send their best wishes..
I’m deeply encrouaged by their love, because despite the late hours, they had made so much effort to send me and my family off.. thus to: Elder Soo, Dn Chung and Aunty Amy, Uncle Ling Suah and Wife Anna, Ben and Lynda, Zer, Allvina, Shelia, Aloysius, Jeremy Fong, Youren, and of course my dear Di Di; Josiah, i just want to say, a BIG “THANK YOU” to all of you! Also to, Stan and Dorcas, Pastor Heng and family, thank you for the intentions of sending me off.
By the grace of God, we touched down in Perth after a 5 hour plane ride and checked out from the customs at 715am! Thank God we weren’t stop by the airport authorities even though i had like a few rolls of mentos on me (not on purpose) ! This is how strict the australians are with their airport check-ins!
We then waited for 15mins before my aunty and her husband fetched us from the airport to my Campus. We took a 30min drive, before reaching our destination… EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITY, JOONDALUP CAMPUS!
ECU ENTRANCE
Front View of ECU’s own Sky Dome! it’s HUGE!
And so.. the Journey begins… and shall last for years.
So even as i tread on the path ahead of me.. i know that there will be times i may face uncertainties, i may be challenged by temptations.. but i am sure, that if i purpose in my heart to keep close to the Lord, all these.. will seem little and small. I believe i have a Great God.. a God BIGGER than any situation or obstacle..
As this journey begins (it has already).. may i be found wanting in the Lord.. putting Him above and before my passion and dreams..
And may this be the heartbeat of my doings… as found in Matthew 22:37 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind”
Will update more…
the journey...
