5/10/2008 (Sunday)
Today, Melbourne time was adjusted by 1 hour earlier. Therefore, the time difference between Melbourne and Malaysia is 3 hours now.
I attended 9am Sunday Worship at ECC. I thank God for the wonderful worship session and sermon today. The topic today was "Unlocking Your Faith for the Impossible" by Rev Ken Teo and the scripture was from Gal 3:6-14. We must have faith in God because God is Love and Mighty. God know our future and will bless us with his love.
The worship and God words today really draw me closing to God.
I also met some brothers and sisters from Malaysia. What a small world, Bro. Stephen and his wife are formerly Grace Church members. They know most of the church members in Mission Grace Church and Grace Church, KL.

Passed My Tests
3/10/2008
Today, I passed my both Learner Permit Test (LPT)and Hazard Perception Test (HPT)! Both tests are using PC. It was not so difficult as long as prepared well. I download materials from VicRoad site to prepare for LPT but I did not have any clue for HPT. I just based on my driving experiences to answer for HPT questions honestly. The next test is driving test and I have to take a few lessons from driving school to get myself prepare for the test.

Another Interview and Meeting New Friend
1/10/2008
Another interview scheduled at 2pm at Collin Street. It was for the contract position of Management Accountant. My skills and experiences matched the requirements perfectly. However, the drawback is that I lack of local experiences. Anyway, I have the faith in God and I believe God will guide me through.
In the evening, I had an appointment with a guy who I know him by calling his company. He called me at noon and asked to meet him at 7pm in Box Hill Centro. We went to a Chinese Restaurant which is belong to one of his client. We had a nice conversation. I am glad that I was able to find a new friend in Melbourne.

Nice Dinner
30/9/2008
I was invited for a dinner with Rev Lai and his wife Linda at their house. Linda came and pick me up at about 7pm. Their house in Mount Waverley. Is a double storey unit very near to Mount Waverley train station. When we arrived, the dinner was also ready. Rev Lai is a good chef.
Wow, this was my first Malaysian Chinese home cook food after I arrived Melbourne. It was so delicious.
During and after dinner, I had some chat with both Rev Lai and Linda. Thanks for their warm reception and hospitality in Christ.
