Better late than never
Back to my collectible
A little invention
Caylie with my Canon S5is
Both pictures were taken by her. I believe it was pretty challenging for her to handle it due to its weight. Therefore, every time when she click on the shutter button, the camera shakes.
Nevertheless, she really enjoying it.
An upgrade!
Vogue School of Performing Arts
A few days ago, Debbie received a flyer from Coburg Primary School while picking up Caylie. On the flyer, it advertised a performing arts school. They are inviting visitors to observe their school and had offered a free trial lesson for half hour slot.
As soon as Debbie arrived home, she decided to call and find out more regarding the school. She managed to speak to Meryl Thomas. Apparently, Meryl is the founder and owner of this school. Ceasing on this opportunity, Debbie made a brief introduction of me to Meryl. Surprisingly, she was very keen to meet with me. Debbie was so excited and shared her phone conversation experience with me.
Today, at 10am, Debbie and myself took the three along. We managed to find the school location easily due to GPS. We stepped into the school and within seconds, the receptionist connected us with Meryl Thomas. Due to her busy schedule, she invited us to sit for awhile. After, she will catch up with us.
We waited for almost an hour. During that hour, we were also trying to fit Caylie to the ballad lesson. She seems interested but shy. As parents, we didn't push her into it. Knowing that Caylie will adapt to the environment.
An hour passed us quickly. Meryl Thomas came and invited us to a waiting room. We acquainted awhile and she got to know me and my portfolio. She was so excited especially when she found out about my Wu-Shu background. She saw the potential in me. This is because of my experience of merging Wu-Shu and dance as a new form of creative expression.
Meryl was totally excited and she invited us back to the school on Tuesday, 5pm. Mean while, she will think further as to how she and I could be in partnership, and kick start Wu-Shu and Dance lesson together. If all things work well, she should be able to start a class for me.
I was impressed and of course, in awe with what the Lord is doing in my life. I am looking forward to the Tuesday, 5pm appointment. Nevertheless, there's lot of prayer required too. If it's God will and timing is right, then He will have this door open for me, for the calling and destiny. Amen!

Beware of Kung Fu Panda
As a Wu-Shu martial artist, I'd always desire to impart my talent and skill to the three. I tried many times, a long time but yet, I fail to do so.
Nevertheless, after watching Kung Fu Panda with my three. Out of a sudden, as though their insight of Kung Fu began to rise within them. Ever since then, they began to express gesture of Wu-Shu.
As a father, I am so proud and totally fill with joy when I see the impartation took place in their life, while they are young. Well, at least I know some ground works had been accomplished. Next will be, what the Lord had given me, and that is the Prophetic Warfare Dance!
By the way, one important footnote, I strongly discourage my three to fight with each other, even with others *smile*
An amazing OFFER
Mum rung me up this morning, after sending Caylie to school. She was home-alone in Heidelberg. She requested if we could go out with her. She needs to get something from Northland Mall, at the same time to have a quick lunch.
At first, I was kind of reluctant because I have some works to catch. On second thought, since mum will be leaving home to Malaysia. Debbie and I, we'd better spend some time with her. Almost immediately, we got the boys ready and there we go... to pick mum up!
To cut the story short, as soon as Debbie entered to The Reject Shop, at Northland Mall. She found an unbelievable offer. It was Ferrari Bed Set for single and queen size bed. The amazing thing is that the original price was AU89.90 but now, it only cost AU10.00.
We always desire to get a spare bed set since we arrived. So far, we only have 1 but the Lord just granted us another with great offer and a branded set. God is always so kind to us.
A morning TOUCH
Also, today was Caylie's last day to school. After, she will get to enjoy a 2weeks holiday. So, I've decided to send her to school by bike, instead of car.
She enjoyed it thoroughly. She was touched by me and we had tremendous time together on the road. Well, at least today, she didn't cry at school. I believe it was due to the morning TOUCH.

Eventhough I was not well but...
She was so loving and caring. She made sure I had proper amount of liquid and medication. On top of that, she worked so hard to clean up the house and prepared dinner for our guests.
I thank God for such comfort from my dear wife.

Simple and short
At times when I think God is not here with me, somehow, He'll shows up.
Today, as soon as I stepped into my school (Brunswick), I saw my teacher. He offered me a position in his kitchen. I was so amazed by it because it was just yesterday, that I told God, "If I ever work in a kitchen, I want either my school-mate or teacher or anyone else from my school to recommend me."
So, this is one short and simple example of God's faithfulness in answering prayer. Amen!
0835p
As usual, before the kids sleep, we will hold hands and have our turn to lead in prayer. This evening, Dayson insisted to lead in prayer first. So, this little chili-padi prayed and all of us followed along.
The way he prayed was impressive. He actually prayed for the country of Australia and asked God to protect this nation from evil men. He also asked the Lord to cover this country with His precious blood! Awesome isn't he!
After, Caylie's turn to lead and followed by Dylan. She has progressed a lot too in her prayer. At times, she can really lead in long prayer. While Dylan is a cool dude. He will cover the grandparents and mummy and daddy.
However, they all prayed very well.

A happy night
After, I will lead the family into short moment of prayer. The kids will follow along - every word and every statement. In our prayer, we will pray for our parents (their grandparents) and the country, the neighborhood, and lastly one another. The kids will usually in bed by 7p.
Last night, I was so knocked out and I slept right through in their room, sharing bed with Dylan and Dayson. It was a good night even though I got up a number of times at middle of the night. Well, at least Dayson does not wake Debbie up since my presence was with him. The kids slept right through. Praise God!

The unexpected presence!
Today is my IELTS exam. I'm feeling nervous and tensions all around me. After a hot bath, I quickly rush into the car. Guess what? I left my jacket behind thinking that the weather is going to be fine.
After the orientation, Debbie and I went to a separate location for the exam. I regretted for not bringing the jacket along, it is rather cold. Soon, the exam began.
The weather is getting cooler and I can no longer fight it. Each time, when I whispered a prayer by saying, "God, are You with me?" Instantly, a heat would dawn upon me and such experience continued right through the exam.
At one point of my exam, I felt like the Human-Torch, a Fantastic 4 character. God is faithful and gracious to me.

No regrets...
Surely, I have no regrets making the decision of coming over, even though there are challenges ahead. Just by looking at the kids enjoying themselves and Caylie's progress in her education. I counted all joy in itself.

A new chapter of my life
It's my first day to McKinnon, that's where my culinary class (the practical kitchen works). As soon as I arrived at Batman Train Station, ticket machine, there I saw a 10dollars note sticking out from the payment slot. I almost couldn't believe this free ride. It's an interesting experience with the Lord.
0935a: Today's weather is super-cold. Make it worst, my winter jacket is left at home. So, I've got to fight the cold at Flinders Street Station for 20mins because the train was delayed. Thank God I am in the train now.

Family time together
As for my kids, they like the family animation. So, we had a good time laughing together.
Tomorrow will be my first day to school, after years from ABM. Well, I look forward to it though, I think it's going to be fun and exciting moment. I have plan to snap some photos and if time permits, I will and will update the blog and all of you. See ya...
