So after Paris and Munich,

it was beautiful and enchanting Venice.



P.S to daniel this is yet another glam picture of me wahahah

This is the second time to Venice. The first time I went was when I was 15, and realised how blessed I was to see Venice when I was only 15.

Nothing really changed though. The church still look the same, the things are just as expensive. And the accommodation was good but a little scary with the hair (haha right Bern?)

to Mummy, this was the 15 euros coat that I bought. IT WAS A GOOD BARGAIN and okay i know that there is a recession back home.

People have been asking me how's life here, so I should stop blogging about my trips, but about my daily life here.

I only have school from Monday to Wednesday till Easter. And then May, i will have classes almost everyday. Mannheim works by bloc seminars, especially for marketing modules. So I will only have many classes from April onwards. For now, I am taking some extra side courses such as German Grammar and Communication. So yes, I do speak a little Deutsch. I want to be more fluent in it though.

and to bud nuans karmen and the rest of my nus friends, ruth tan win hands down. my Corporate Finance lecturer here is quite horrible.

On the contrary, coming here has improved my Chinese! haha because we got to know a nice Taiwan guy and SMU students who speak mostly Chinese. One of them even asked my friend if "Jiali was atas" because her chinese has a weird slang to it. HAHA. ALL the years of higher chinese has gone to waste.

And just yesterday, we had a dumpling day because some girls from China decided to teach us how to make dumplings. It was so so so good. On the other days, we also have rice and some other good chinese food like spring onion chicken, chicken soup, bak kut teh etc. :)

On a more serious note, I was just thinking about the plans God has for me here. One month. And in this one month, I hear God sometimes, but not everytime. And I know though I am learning things, there were times where I lost focus. as much as I want to be a blessing, I am often overwhelmed by my own circumstances here and can become selfish too.

But I told God that I want to be generous. and I want to be a blessing. I want to know what are His plans for me here, because I know I did not just come here to eat, study and travel (haha)

And so, in order to be more focus on the Lord, I know that it needs me to be more intentional, so i told myself that I want to learn to be intentional in thanking God.

so just to start off a little, i want to thank God today for the good breakfast this morning, Pancakes with honey and sausages and egg. The taiwan friend, GB, taught us how to prepare the breakfast :)

My cell blessed me with this song when I skype with them last week, and I am thankful, because I knew that it came timely. it came as a reminder, that I cannot survive without God's love.

and it reminded me, to want and desire to grow in intimacy with the lord. So I am finding my focus back.

How could I live without You
How could I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One that heals me
And cleanses my heart
And sets me free

Now i come right before You
With my hands lifted up
With my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hang there and die
You were paying the price
For my life, For my life

For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
And all I want is You in my life
Noone else can satisfy my soul
Can make me feel this way
Only You Lord, only You
