I probably have this heading  (or something similar) each time I am writing the day before my exams/ assignments. So by this time tomorrow, I will be in the examination hall working my way through my first paper, Insurance Law. This is not the time for me to regret taking insurance law as a module, but I did wish that the law was clearer and less scattered all over (or should I say outdated). I must hang in there till I finish on the 28th of May. That will be the end of my three years of studies, here in the UK. I am definitely looking forward to the end. But till then, I need to bear with this stress and mental pain. Just over 11 days more and it will all be finished. I am praying so hard for wisdom and knowledge to be able to handle this. I am thankful to know that I have my Heavenly Father to look  unto. Keeping strong, and pressing on. 

2 Corinthians 12:9: "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness."


A click on my Macbook widget and I'm counting down to my final 2 weeks of university life. Part of me is really looking forward to the end of this, yet part of me knows what there is a lot of work to be done before I reach that finish line. Knowing that I am running out of time, I am praying hard that I'll be able to focus and really do it. 

Heavenly Father, I pray that I'll graduate with a qualifying degree and will be able to use my grades achieve in Your honour. Lord, I also pray for friends who are also preparing for exams, especially those graduating. It's been quite a journey from where we have started. I just pray that You'll keep watch over us, be with us and give us the wisdom to do this. In Christ's name I pray, Amen. 

Sushi after a long time


Finals are here. First paper in 5 days time. As usual, I am stressing out and I guess even more this time round. Praying hard that things will go well and that I'll not waste time anymore. Oh Lord! I pray that I'll graduate with a qualifying degree please!

On the bright side, I am one step nearer to obtaining my driving licence. 

Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."


I woke up this morning and said to myself that I would break habits and really push myself for this final month as finals are round the corner. And now, I just read this piece on "Our Daily Bread" which is actually the devotion for April 29. I am guilty of not doing my daily devotions (doing it once in a while), and I wished that I had read this piece on my birthday which is also 29 April. Very often we forget how God knows how difficult our paths will be, even before we know it, and how He would deliver us through these hard times. Yet, we use our human knowledge and seek for an easier path to walk in. Quoting from the piece "But are any of us wise enough to know that some other way would make us into better and wiser children? No, our Father in heaven knows the best path, out of all possible paths, to bring us to completion (Ps. 142:3)."

In my 3 years (almost) here, I have fallen many times because I have forgotten that it is His path that I am walking. I really pray that I'll have the strength to complete this final month of my studies here in the UK. As Pastor David said in today's message, we need to push aside voices of our wishes and goals the moment we wake up and open our eyes. We need to seek to hear that voice, His voice. I really felt His presence and His words today, and I pray that I'll have this comfort everyday. Also pray that my family and friends would share this comfort with me.

My thoughts are flying about now, so somethings might not make sense. In anyway, I thank God for His grace :)

After months of slow preparation, I have finally launched my own Facebook photography page: http://www.facebook.com/serenawongphotography

It has been a very blessed week of rest. Haven't been doing much stuff and just resting is a good feeling. Took the time to head down to London for the musical "Wicked". It is so so good! I never thought that I would be wanting for more! The singing is just amazing! Can't wait to catch the "Phantom of the Opera" in a week's time!

很在意别人的看法是我的坏习惯。
说好听一点是自我要求高， 难听一点是自卑。
很不喜欢被误会，或是被冤枉。
今晚我又想太多了。
现在的心情很不好受。

My new t-shirt :) Decided to buy the moment I saw it!


Been more than a month since my last post and lesser post about exams this time round. I guess it's because of the micro-blogging available now (Twitter, Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, etc). Anyway, now I am back here to blog. 

Thank God for His Grace for this period! He brought me through the exams and while grades are not ideal or up to expectation, I really thank God that I cleared this round of exams. Now I am in my final lap of my studies here in UK. Last semester already. This semester proved to be tougher than ever with having weekly workshops for the first time. Now that we are split into our groups, I can only pray that the functioning of the group would go on smoother. We have been having communication delays and non-response most of the time. This is difficult to get things done. On the bright side, the presentations are not graded but it affects my understanding of the topic which I would need to do my essays. Anyway, like I said, just praying about it. 

I realised that sometimes I have too many things in mind that I want to do, so much that I don't do any of them at all! This is bad and will have to change! Really need to cherish my time here while it last. 

My first taste of Love Letters in years!

It is already the eve of CNY in Singapore and just a few more hours before Manchester gets into the eve as well. This year is probably one of the worst CNY in my 3 years here in Manchester. Exams just so happened to be during this period, making everything a little harder. But looking on the bright side, perhaps this is God's way of making my cherish the CNY when I celebrate it with family and friends. So I will be looking forward to the one next year

Talking about exams, I have submitted my Family Law Coursework and am done with my first paper, Company Law. It's now in God's hands and I just pray for the best. Medical Law is the next and also the last paper. There is so much to read, revise and remember. Thank God for bringing me through thus far and pray that He will continue to bring me through this period. I really must say that my time in Uni is the one period of time in my life, so far, that I broke down and cried the most. Mainly due to the high level of stress and pressure that I have never experience before. Yet it is also this time that I felt His presence, not the glowing light or anything of that sort, but things happening around me. 

Hanging in there, and constantly praying. One more paper to go! Doing it the taekwondo way, WOOSH!
