Graduation Ceremony

A pretty surprise gift from David

With Parents

Finish procession

Was afraid I get tripped

Distinction Graduate-Phua Shyan-Hwei whom I meet there

Dressed on my graduation gown, just in time after a Marathon race


I had my graduation ceremony on the 21st march 2009 in The Concorde hotel Singapore. I was running very late for my rehearsal which was suppose to start at 11am. I reached at 12pm, we took long road instead of a short cut that cut across from the MRT station, but I wasn't late for the ceremony, that's most important. I got dress on with my graduation gown and took my graduation photos and proceeded on the ceremony, everything just happen so quickly, and ended earlier than it was scheduled. At least there wasn't such a long speech given by the guest of honor, which was good!


There were many graduates from all over the world- Korea, japan, Indonesia, Philippines...This Diploma from Associated Board of Royal School of Music (ABRSM) is recognized throughout the world and is a gold standard award. I didn't realize that their standard was set so high that only 200 graduates passed this professional exam over 3000 candidates, they said that they would need to set a high standard in order to associated with this level of professionalism. Well, I should be proud I finally got through it.


I also meet a girl whom I met during my examination day last year, and we rejoice for our achievement, as we remembered we were so anxious on that day.


I did wish my late mum was there as she was the one who made me determined to finish my piano, it was her wish to see me becoming a piano teacher one day. My mum saw that future ahead of time. Thanks Mum, I hope you will be very proud of this achievement. This achievement is not only mine but is partly yours as well.

Golden Girl

Golden Girl with a Golden Smile
Jolly Issac Pastors

10th March- A surprise celebration for the "Golden Girl" you can guess her age...haha

We had all the KL Isaac Pastor gathered at the bible school Unit 3 hall. I was so surprise when I entred in as I didn't expect my TCC church members to invite such a whole load of people, some which I never knew!

Aunty Nancy got a call and was told that someone was waiting for her, to talk to her. So hurriedly, she "ta pao" her porridge from Uncle Sam's Cafe, which was her supper and came up to the bible school. Everyone was in the dark for a while waiting in silence.
Door open. "Happy Birthday...!!" everyone sang the usual song.

A lovely time we had while aunty Nancy gave a short speech of appreciation and as well, it was like another session from Dr Jonathan as all the pastors were commencing in parts of his preaching.Is like the transferable of legacy, passing down to his "SONS". Now they talked like him, quick learners, hahaha...

1st Conference in 2009


I have just finish my break after my first Conference-GEAR-, it was a really exhausting of running around, waking up at odd hours to make ends meet for the conference. On the last day, I really ''sui" already, (meaning almost died!)

But I enjoyed it, maybe its my first experience:) Lots to learn and improved in managing accommodations. I am glad to see my church friends from KL and from Kuching as well for this GEAR and to support me as well!

Joy Kids

This is my 3 week teaching the Joy Kids, my group of children are Indian kids and they can't speak English well, so I have to use Bahasa Malaysia to teach them, I was nervous at the beginning as my bahasa is almost half a bucket full, searching for the right vocabulary to every words while preparing my teaching lesson. But with adequate preparation and with God's grace, the words just proceeded out in liberty.
A mother was sharing yesterday, that the children really enjoyed the sessions and are eager to come, she could see a change in her son's life, being more obedient . She was almost in tears when she shared that. I was really encourage and praise the Lord of His works in the kids life. Last Sunday, I had all the kids sat in the front 2nd and 3rd row to write notes of the message, each of them came and show me their notes end of service and to my amaze, even the little ones could write good notes!
I pray for all this life to grow in advancement of HIS KINGDOM. They are His beloved ones! "Let the children come to me."
