hey hey,
im thinking i should really make blogging a habit, cos i'm really getting slack LOL. well, let me tell you all a little bit of what i've been doing this extremely crazy and busy week!
Monday:
well, on monday, it was pretty much nothing different, studied and such.
Tuesday:
we went for a chinese excursion with the year 7s, 8s and 9s to the great wall of china exhibition in the city and that was a WASTE OF TIME! we had to fill in the stupid sheets and it was so boring haha.
Wednesday:
on wednesday, it was dad's birthday. so we went out for dinner, then i came home and studied haha, this blog is getting more and more thrilling!!
Thursday:
well, thursday was the fun day! we went to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and we filmed an actual movie with the green screen and everything. we got to use proper film equipment. it was so fun! we got to have lunch around the city, and it bought back good memories from citycite. i miss citycite haha. it was fun though. then, on the way back in the bus, we were all going crazy haha it was funny.
Friday:
I GOT MY PHOTOGRAPHY PICTURE DEVELOPED!! haha you can see the increased enthusiasm since it is in caps. i am so happy cos now, i dont have to get frustrated again. yeah, and i scanned my pic onto photoshop and used the mac lab to edit it. it was fun.
Saturday:
yesterday, we went for yum cha and then after that, i met lots of the funguses to watch spidey 3 at knox. that was kinda fun, except, i didnt get to see most of you guys for long. LOL vonnie and jassa, we were the only ones watching spidey and me and von talked through the WHOLE movie haha. the kid and his mum in front of us kept looking at us. von was like, as soon as the credits roll, we run, cos theyre really angry at us haha. anyway, i screamed like three times and they KEPT looking at us. it was really quite funny. good times.
Sunday:
oo today, today was ok, except we didnt have many people at church. that was kinda disappointing, but yano, you can never give up =] me and fi started planning our friday night this sat (cos were in charge this sat haha) and yeah, sounds like its gonna be heaps of FUN! woohoo. [IF YOURE NOT DOING ANYTHING THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, FROM 7.30-ABOUT 10, COME TO OUR FRIDAY NIGHT! ITS A GAMESHOW THEME.] yup yup.
anyway, on the way back from church today, i was just scrolling my ipod and i got to this song (thats playing now) Sa Rang Hae Yo by JJ Lin, and i remembered my farewell. i was like woah, that was a long time ago, and i found myself sheding a tear (just one), but i think im getting more over it than before. (if that makes sense which reading it now, it doesnt haha) anyway, that reminds me that ISAAC HO OWES ME A POEM! haha, that poem. i still miss all you fungusses so much though.
i think now with God, i feel like i just need to continue to press into him, he's not just there yano? yano sometimes in your life, God is just there? well, right now, i have to actually find and seek him before i find him. im thinking i need to chill with studies and just come before him. i keep thinking though - not enough time, need to study and all this stuff, but really, God should be first.
anyway, continue to pray for my youth group and yeah, for me too.
thanks for reading this =]
and btw gracie, i know haha, but i couldnt be stuffed changing it.
love you all
godbless.

we live.
This was my diary entry last night, i thought i might blog it.
19/5/07
we live. we love. we cry. we hurt.
we try. we smile. we never give up.
I am who i am because of all the mistakes I've made
I know that everytime I hurt,
I will smile a thousand times more.
I know that everytime I cry,
I will be happier later on.
i know that everything I've done cannot be reversed,
I just simply have to learn from my faults.
Learn to accept the things I can't change,
and change the things I can.
If we can all learn this,
perhaps we may all lead happier lives that might prove simpler.
Never doubt the prayer, never doubt faith.
Never doubt the power of God.
Believe and trust in Him,
Fall at his knees, and cry out.
He hears our cries.
Give everything to him,
because he cares for you.
Begin to see the world from a different point of view,
observe things.
"Maybe happiness is not about having everything in your life perfect. Maybe its about stringing together all the little things in life. Maybe all we can do is our best, and that's all we can ask for." - Bailey, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
Life is short,
Love it,
Embrace it,
Live in it!
Godbless guys,

music, studies and life.
haha no, despite what you all think, i have not died. i have simply not blogged in a very long time because it is all becoming a blur lately. so much to do, so little time. i havent had time to just breathe let alone blog, so bear with me, and continue to check this blog, as i might blog still LOL. my life over the last week or so has been very eventful, very eventful. where do i start? gosh, well i'll just write down whatever comes to mind over this week..
1. Mel is pregnant!!
my cousin's wife is pregnant, haha i'm going to be an aunty. my dad was like, "i feel so old to be a great-uncle!" congrats to LEMUEL yee, the first to carry on the surname YEE in our generation. and to mel yee, hope it all goes well for them, im so excited!
2. danica, scared of dolls, became one today.
LOL, yes, i am terrified of dolls and clowns (haha isaac, jerry is so MEAN!) anyhoo, we had a drama makeup workshop today and i became a doll and it was really scary, i made myself up, and i scared myself in the miror LOL. i think ill have nightmares of myself tonight haha.
3. mothers day
yes, it was mothers day on sunday, the Tahela video had its premiere too, the dancing turned out really good, im so proud of my tahela kiddies :) also, GZ was awesome HAHA! yeah, "who ordered the char siu pau?" LOL.
4. encouraged
as you all know from my previous blog, something pretty awesome happened last week, this has encouraged me and i shared this with my youth group. i told them all to continue praying and not give up, no matter what.i told them all that God is listening, we just gotta trust in him for growth, i am convinced, that if revival can be bought to my school, revival can happen anywhere, including our youth group.
5. music prac last night
ps ray chee came to speak to us at music last night. he prayed for us too, i was really encouraged and im so glad that i got a reply to the question i asked God. God is truly good, and it turns out that music is my ministry at church.
6. piano & violin
well, i talked to someone who is doing piano for VCE and im kinda scared now, it sounds kinda hard and i hate performing in front of people. my piano teacher is becoming more and more of a perfectionist and i feel like my music is really getting harder. that drives me to practice more, and i guess get more determined, but im kinda nervous about my coming music exams.
7. MATHS!
ahhhhhh. i dont get maths anymore haha. im really nervous about exams coming up, and i dont wanna fail. the goal i set for myself this year was try hard in everything i do. get good grades and practice hard. i dno if i can..
8. exams in two and a half weeks!!!
STUDYING is so draining! and with two assignments as well, i dunno how exam studying is even gonna fit into it all, im really feeling scared about it.
9. photography at school
photography has made me feel like i have no lunch times or breaks at school. ive spent so many lunchtimes in the darkroom. my pictures keep coming up really crap, and enlarging is SO HARD! AH! anyway, photography is not as easy as i thought it would be, especially using SLR cameras and all, i had to re-shoot my whole term's work in one day last week, and now i cannot enlarge the picture i want, cos i just cant get the filter, or enlarging time or size or focus right, and its really starting to bug me! LOL. also, there is no fashion designing as a subject next semester, which means i have to do VCD instead, and i really didnt want to!! GAH.
10. overall, life is just a blur
i guess i havent really had time to just STOP and think. ive kinda been really busy lately, with church stuff too. like im leading praise and worship with the kids on sunday, and as a result of so much stuff, ive had many rehearsals and things like that, i havent had anytime to just chill, yano? so i just feel a little stressed out and things like that.
LIFE all up though, has been good, just busy. i think i need to take a chill-pill and chillax LOL. but, keep praying and reading, and i shall post up some pictures, probably this saturday. thanks for reading, and keep reading!!
god bless you all,
much much love,
daniyee.

the day God rocked Oxley
today was a significant day in year nine for me. God was so present in our school today. i have to write this quickly as we are going out!
ok so everyone has heard about see you at the pole. basically, it is a yearly prayer meeting held in high schools all over australia where people gather at their flagpoles to pray for australia, their schools, and the world. see you at the pole started at an early 7.30 am at our school and to my suprise (and i think everyone's suprise) one hundred over people turned up. it was awesome. God's presence was really there and we all prayed so hard for australia. we had a good time of worship as well and we were able to acknowledge the goodness and the greatness of god despite how extremely freezing the temperature was. after that, we enjoyed a hot (and cold) waffle breakie in the home ec room with ice cream yum!
anyway, at chapel, sarah's brother chris dickson came to speak. chris dickson is an aussie rapper and he currently has a record deal. anyway, he came to speak at our chapel. first, he did a rap and everyone kinda got into it, then, he shared with us all a bit about his life. he shared with us all the stories which at times were a bit scary. then, he did an alter call. he did one of those close your eyes, bow your heads and raise your hands ones. and then, he said people who raised their hands could walk down to the altar. and no one came. for a while, once someone left their seat, literally more than half the school came flooding to the altar. most of year nine was at the altar, there wasnt even enough room at the front for all of us, people were standing in the aisles. everyone had tears in their eyes, even the guys. we were all crying. as the teachers began to pray for us, we also began to lay hands on each other. people gave their lives to jesus christ today. it was such an awesome time. for me, i really started crying when one of my friends who is kinda anti christian went down the front, man i was bawling my eyes out! everyone was so caring there and everyone just gave their lives to god and it was awesome to see. god really bought revival to our school today. i am so excited! altar call and praying basically went through lunch and they ended up extending lunch till 2.00 and even then, we only left chapel at 2.00 haha! it was a great time, and i have never hugged that many people in my life!!
anyway, after that, it was so funny cos none of us had had our lunch and we all had to go to class. at english, mrs vallve let us all go eat while it was class and the she was like whos hungry? haha and we were all like ME! and then she took us to the staffroom and let us eat all the food made by the year 10 home ec students for the teachers. it was so funny, and then we went through the fridge and drank cordial and mrs vallve got a camera and took all these pics haha. we all were like WE LOVE YOU MRS VALLVE! haha, we didnt do any work that period.
today was definitely a day to remember in year nine. i thank god for the lives that were saved today. it was truly the most awesome day ever.
thankyou God!
aiight, i have to go haha

the hope i have in Jesus and one year without you.
so, two different things in my post today.
1. the hope i have in Jesus.
yesterday at church, dad spoke about why believe what we believe, and particularly the passage in 1 Peter 3, when it talks about having an answer if ever a non believer asks us why we have our hope in Jesus. i'd never really thought about why. i've never questioned my faith, i mean ive had my doubts, but never actually questioned WHY? when i got home, i kinda asked God about it. i talked to Him and asked him WHy DO, i have this faith? WHY DO i have hope in Jesus Christ? i wasnt sad or anything, but tears streamed down my face and as i was crying, i felt God speaking to me. i realised, that i have hope in Jesus, because i know that no matter what happens, he'll always be here for me. i know that even in my darkest moments, he is my light and he will never leave me. my diary entry last night said this;
"I have hope because my saviour lives. He died and rose again. I have hope because i know even when everything around me is hopeless, Jesus shines through. I HAVE HOPE BECAUSE HE LIVES!"
this is what was written last night. when i got home from school today, i kinda wrote a song, just with really simple lyrics and chords. (somehow, the songs i write always sound like other songs. this chord arrangement sounded like ALL I NEED IS YOU by HILLSONG UNITED just in another key, LOL. oh well)
this song was about HOPE and the lyrics were from my diary entry (or based on it anyway)
_________________________♥
I HAVE HOPE BECAUSE HE LIVES
by danica yee, inspired by God; since 7/5/07.
i have this hope
inside of me
i have this hope
because i know
my saviour lives
i know he lives
and i have hope
because i know that
even when everything
around me crumbles
to the ground
Jesus SHINES through
i have hope because
He Lives!
In Christ alone,
i hold onto my hope
all hopelessness
fades away...
_______________________♥
so that was my song, with really simple lyrics.
anyway, im glad that i could grow just that bit more in God. i am eternally thankful for all the things he does in my life.
2. and one year without you.
yes yes, it is officially ONE year since i left fungus, one year today. in a way, it feels so fast, but also, it feels like ive been at cornerstone forever, im not sure if that makes sense, but anyway. i was listening to sarang hae yo yesterday and i remembered how much that song meant to me just a year ago, it bought back memories. memories of the poem, memories of the random dance, memories of "thats what friends are for", memories of the game where i had to spit water into a bucket, memories of ice cream craft, norway (LOL sunday school..) and memories of tears, and MANY NANY HUGS!
but as i look back on this year, it has been the most hardest, incredible, maturing, learning year of my life. Leaving fungus is no joke, gotta be the hardest thing ive ever had to do. i mean i move around heaps, but leaving fungus felt like a part of me was being ripped out of my heart. as i looked back on this year, i found myself thanking God for it. because i know that if it hadnt been for this year, i wouldnt be the person i am today, or made the friends i have, or grown as much as i have in him. ive really learnt to trust him, and although at times i get frustrated, ive learnt to be patient and persevere. its been a GREAT year, filled with heartbreaks, laughter, tears and joy, but all in all, a very very growing and trying year for me.
WOW, one year! time does pass quick..
anyway, i think im done now hehe
thanks for reading this SPOT!
keep praying for my gramps.
love you all,
peace out.

yes yes, it is officially ONE year since i left fungus, one year today. in a way, it feels so fast, but also, it feels like ive been at cornerstone forever, im not sure if that makes sense, but anyway. i was listening to sarang hae yo yesterday and i remembered how much that song meant to me just a year ago, it bought back memories. memories of the poem, memories of the random dance, memories of "thats what friends are for", memories of the game where i had to spit water into a bucket, memories of ice cream craft, norway (LOL sunday school..) and memories of tears, and MANY NANY HUGS!
but as i look back on this year, it has been the most hardest, incredible, maturing, learning year of my life. Leaving fungus is no joke, gotta be the hardest thing ive ever had to do. i mean i move around heaps, but leaving fungus felt like a part of me was being ripped out of my heart. as i looked back on this year, i found myself thanking God for it. because i know that if it hadnt been for this year, i wouldnt be the person i am today, or made the friends i have, or grown as much as i have in him. ive really learnt to trust him, and although at times i get frustrated, ive learnt to be patient and persevere. its been a GREAT year, filled with heartbreaks, laughter, tears and joy, but all in all, a very very growing and trying year for me.
WOW, one year! time does pass quick..
anyway, i think im done now hehe
thanks for reading this SPOT!
keep praying for my gramps.
love you all,
peace out.

a flashback
about an hour ago, my dad told me that it was CONFIRMED that my grandpa has prostate cancer. i dont know what it is, or if it can be cured or not, but i do know something; my mind flashed back to the times i spent with my beloved grandpa. i remembered all the times i had spent with him as a kid. i love my grandparents dearly, and my grandpa is no exception.
my mind flashed back to the times he used to take us to KFC on the holidays. me, aaron, dave & don (and sometimes hau yang and yu yang) would get in my grandma's old green car and we would drive to KFC. we had many memories there. i remember when my grandpa would take me on his motorcycle around the block, i had lots of fun.
he taught me how to behave, how to be polite and not rude. he taught me how to respect my elders. he taught me how to be a good friend.
i Love you grandpa.
please pray for him guys, as he is not saved yet.
my short short post.
much love and i might edit this post to make it longer later. for now, keep reading this spot =]
love love xo

a realisation
yesterday, while we were driving to school, dad told me about the three christians who were martyred in Turkey. Up till now, ive told htis story about five times to other people because unlife what i've read, it was really gruesome and evil. i've read plenty of Jesus Freak books, talking about people who are martyred and do incredible things to stand for Jesus, but nothing could perpare me for this story.
on April 18th 2007, two missionaries and a pastor was martyred in the most gruesome way possible. but, lets go back a little bit..
these three courageous men ran a bible study every week for a group of uni students, even though they faced persecution. little did they know that these uni students were actually extreme muslims who were planing a plot against them. these uni students were plotting to kill the three men. so, one day, they tied them up and killed them. but they didnt just shoot them; oh no! they did something much worse.. they cut each and every of those men into pieces. small pieces and they let them slowly die. one of these men were found with 167 stab wounds (or something like that), another, about the same, and the third, too many stab wounds to count! the men who had plotted to kill against them were arrested, and put into jail, but, their parents of these young men said that they were proud their boys could do it for allah, and it didnt matter that they were going to prison. the wife of one of the men who were killed came out and said something that im not usre i couldve said," god, forgive them, because they dont know what they have done!"
but what i take out most from this story is..
if i was one of those men.. would i have had to courage to stand up for jesus knowing that i face the most gruesome death? would i have stood up for my faith?
on a more happier note..
i was glad to have spent some time with God today, and thanking Him for the beautiful things he has made. i was riding my bike (exercise for our PE theory assignment!) to the milkbar and back and while i was doing so, there was the most beautiful sunset i'd seen. this reminded me of how awesome and great God is. (just something for you all to think about)
on a lighter note..
i did something very interesting today! i developed my very first roll of film! with chemicals and everything in the darkroom at school today for photography. that was quite fun! we had to roll the film onto the spool and put it into the large canister while it was pitch dark and we couldnt see anything! it was a bit stressful i must admit cos we didnt wanna wreck our film. but we did it, then, we had to use the developer, stopbath and fixer and then rinse with water after that. then we had to hang it up to dry. it was lots of fun though and i found it very interesting!
anyway, i have decided to start a photo of the week thing seeing that this whole blog is very photo-ish.. this one is of me and my cousins when we were little =] i think it was taken in about 1998. from left; me, aaron, dave, donny haha.
