I just had another cell core meeting last night....this is the third so far.It really is challenging for me to be in the core this sem.Unlike Gen's core,Peter's core is really challenging....well for me that is.The core which consist of Peter,Vips,Fenny and i had decided that each of us were to disciple at least 1 person from cell group.Pressure to the max!!Mainly bcos i'm the only inexperience one in the core group.Vip's a leader,Peter's a leader,Fenny's a leader.....and me....sumone that is walking in their shadows while trying to keep up.Regarding the discipling issue......i dont think i can do it.My foundations as a christian is not as strong as any of the three of them,i've definitely no experience whatsoever,Their bible knowledge far exceeds mine,and they all walk strongly with the lord.And me....i'm struggling with sins every minute...i still swear often ...even when i try my best to stop....i skip classes on a daily basis,i've shallow bible knowledge...my quiet times are rare..heck i can be of no good example for anyone..what more disciple a person.It makes me wonder....what if i disciple wrongly..u noe...show them the wrong stuff and the likes...my lifestyle isnt exactly a good model.....and i definitely do not want to stumble my brothers in their walk with the lord.Sigh!!.........i wish an angel would appear now and tell what to do...or at least straighten out my life first before i start discipling ppl.Really......i need a miracle to pull this off.I tried explaining my way out but to no avail.I noe i have to rely on God's strength and not my own....but i still feel uneasy,still feel that its far-fetched..still think they got the wrong guy.

Just replying a random guy called "a" in my shoutbox
It is true that Uwa offers mining engineering but it doesnt require you to go up north to study and work in the mines for the 3rd and 4th year of your course which is a magor disadvantage as you lose out in experience and pay.Secondly,if u do come to perth and did a simple survey, you would realise that many major mning companies prefer graduates from curtin because of their expereince.At the same time i'm not saying uwa is a terrible uni.In fact its one of the many well known universities in WA.The fact is UWA are known for their medicine,law and commerce courses and their ridiculous tee scores to enter this courses.If u would to graduate with any of this degree in UWA, finding a job and a secure carreer shouldnt be much of a problem.Curtin however is a technology university and isnt as well known as UWA.But the fact is they are very well known for courses such as enginnering,architecture,surveying and other practical courses that requires students to work on-site.Originally i wanted to do civil and construction engineering in uwa,but due to low tee score i couldnt enter the uni.From this point i did my own research to find out for myself what course have a secure career with big bucks to make so i can support my siblings in the futuere.As far as my research when,there's a major boom in the mining industry here in Australia due to thier contract woth China for raw materials.Furthurmore,J.Howard(president of australia) is deciding on the use of nuclear energy..and Australia is basically filled with uranium.To sum it all up...it really depends what course you wanna take before choosing the uni u wanna apply for.I'm also not insulting IMU, if that was what u misunderstood of me in the first place.It's a very famous uni in m'sia.I've friends studying there as well,and from thier feedbacks its tough studying in it as well,and it would be great news if my sis could get in.Secondly i'm asking my sis to count her blessings that my mum din ask so much from her,when i was in college my mum was dead on in wanting me to get in UWA even when i explained to her that it wouldnt help me in the future.When i didnt get in UWA i had a big argument with my mum for weeks.My sis can confirm that for you.Anyways enough bout the past,if really u think i'm sum proud snobbish little brat that is looking down on IMU or my sis,let me reassure you i'm not.Never in my post did i ever mention that any uni sucked.All i commented about was the scores required to enter the uni.Each Uni has its ups and down.You will never find a uni that is perfect inside out.I also love my sis,if my family was financially well off, i would have wanted her here in Australia rather than in KL,mainly because i wan her to see and experience different things and the widen her horizon.Same goes to my younger brother.Whether or not they wanna stay back in Aus or go back to M'sia its their choice.But i want them to see how different peopl do things differently and how they can apply what they see in their life as well.Naturally we want what is best for the people we hold close to our hearts.

Uni started two weeks ago...and since i'm doing Mining engineering i have totally diff classes compared to the other 1st year foundation engineering students.I have subjects such as geology,mining and metallurgy,math 103 ,chemistry and economics?????.......since when has economics had anything to do with engineering????gosh i hate that subject.....but for the bigger cause,i'll take it head on.Other than that everythings pretty much back to normal,no more late night suppers,lots and lots of crappy d.i.y meals(that are unhealthy) and no car......so i have to pretty much walk to uni and the likes.Some ppl are lucky enough to be able to afford a car.Patience....patience....when i finally finish my cause and start working i can get whatever car i dream off...*daydreaming* :P
