Sin Hong - Harlow from down under

Dear friends,

Sorry for not writing for so long. Spent the first 2 months of my time in Australia having prolonged and restful holiday praying, fasting and spending time with friends and parents (who were here on holidays).

Have started uni at UWA for about 1 month now (2/3 way more to go) and it's been really busy with full-day lessons and clinicals every day. Had quite a bit of a culture shock initially when I was back in university as I am the one and only true Asian in my class consisting of Irish, Dutch, British and Australians. Thank God that there were opportunities for me to show kindness to them and vice versa and as such my relationship with the class got better gradually.

Churchwise, am currently worshipping at All Nations presbyterian church (which I worshipped in during my undergrad days). Am thankful for this group of brothers and sisters who is a constant reminder of the fact that God has reserved a remnant of His people in this place where many seem to lead such a godless life.

Please do continue to pray for appropriate work opportunities upon completion of studies and spiritual support. Really missed the times of sharing and prayer during cell, at work and with friends when I was in Singapore. Hopefully I can start to build up such relationships in time to come.

Spring is finally here. Am enjoying the beauty of wild flowers at the national parks.

Take care and keep in touch. :)

Regards
Sin Hong

YA Captain's Ball - for honour and glory!

We came in 4th! Close fight, we had a win-lose record of 4-1 after the first round. Then the top 2 teams from each grouping competed in a round-robin. Played from 1.30-6pm, totally exhausted by the end of the day, weather was great, but really hot, like a sauna/baking oven, especially at the quadrangle. Hey, not bad for a CG with an average age of 28, almost 10 years older than all the other YA teams taking part. We didn't play for the prize, we played for ... honour and glory! :) Proud of everyone for all their effort and enthusiasm. Welcome to friends who came, Andy and Hanqiang.

CG meeting feedback (10 Aug)

Hi all,

Just wana say I am really encouraged by the turnout and fellowship tonight. Really enjoyed myself today with the mingling, sharing, jokes and supper time. Realised 1 thing i really enjoyed in cg in the past was when we go for supper after cg at Serangoon. Tonight was really reliving of the good old days! We should keep this going (if time permits i guess haha)

Was reading through the cg blog from the beginning just now, just realised how far we have come since 2004 .. maybe we should start celebrating the anniversary of our cg!

Thanks to all for tonight. Remember every single one of you counts! Keep it up!

Cheers,
Lifen

Email update from Xinhong

Hi,
My comp still the same...cannot connect. Think my dad has set some firewall somewhere with his network (my comp was his old laptop). So using my sis one now. In any case, am slowly settling down back in the quiet and slightly slower pace Perth. Am enjoying my break of just studying and no work!! Hope things are good at cell in Singapore. Take care and will keep all of u in prayer. :)
Regards, Sin hong

CG Lunch @ Central (Last Sunday for Xinhong)

Had a good time over lunch chatting and praying for Xinhong as she prepares to leave tomorrow afternoon for Perth, Australia - to finish up her Masters, fulfill her PR requirements and look for a job there eventually. All the best to you, Xinhong!
