Hi Quanz, bit strange there is no earth wire. You say there is 3 wires coming from the ceiling? what colour are they? If you cannot find an earth then your easiest option is a double insulated light as in the link below. Any pics?

the live and neutral will be connected to the light, the earth will be in left in the ceiling with connector block within an enclosure.
