updates

i got this from my bestie's blog... though i'd share it with you guys.. hope you dont mind that i stole it beef.. hehe..

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not flunk;
He keepeth me from lying down
When I should be studying
He leadeth me beside the vending machinefor a study break;
He restores my faith in study guides
He leads me to better study habits
For my grades' sake.
Yea, tho' I walk through a valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a nervous breakdown
For Thou art with me;
My prayers and my friends,they comfort me
Thou givest me the answers in moments of blankness;
Thou annointest my head with understanding,
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognise.
Surely passing grades and flying colours shall follow me all the days of examinations;
And I shall not have to dwell in this college forever!


cool huh? i like it.. haha.. yeah.. so, it's good to know that things back home are going good... my uncle is doing well, although he got admitted to hospital again.. thanks to all who were praying for him.. it really was a blessing in disguise.. cos i know in my heart and soul that this who episode has given him a new level of faith. he used to be indifferent to church and church stuff and all, but now i think that's changed for him.. Praise the Lord!

and my dearest abbie darling.. so glad you're doing well in school.. i knew you could do it.. keep up the work gorgeous.. love you babe!

so.. so much has been happening in the past month.. let's see.. major highlights..

19th August : My 19th birthday..
i had lunch with my dear friend winnie at a chinese restaurant the day before my birthday.. and on the day itself, my hostel mates, my cuz and i were supposed to go ice-skating in the afternoon, but in the end it didn't materialise.. i had to go to the market in the afternoon to get all the food for the bbq we were having at night.. so by the time i got home it was too late to go skating.. i had so so much stuff.. i bought 5kg of potatoes, 4kg of chicken and over a kilo of saussages.. thank God i rode my bike.. otherwise i would i have died trying to carry all that stuff home.. i could barely even balance on my bike!! haha..
yeah, so the bbq was wicked... we took a while to get started and all, but it was great fun.. my hostel mates, sam and sean, were so sweet as to help wash the bbq pit for me while i was getting ready.. yup.. then the fun began.. cindy was took over my camera for the night.. and she did an awesome job.. thanks darling.. i've got heaps and heaps of photos, so i'll try to upload some of the nice ones.. then we had cake and then i went to the pub with my cuz and hostel mate.. that was a funny incident, cos i went there and left my I.D. at home.. so they wouldnt let me in.. so we drove back and got my ID.. thankfully, the pub was just round the corner.. and i saw an accident scene.. it was a real bad accident, and i said a little prayer for the vic who was lying on the pavement.. hope he/she's still alive and well.. yeah, so went to the pub for like an hour, danced for a bit too, then came home.. got home about 1.. i think.. can't really remember..
i got a boquet of flowers from my mum.. she got my ciz to get them on her behalf.. and my cuz got me a bottle of white wine.. i got heaps of cards, chocs and a soft toy.. not to mention all the smses from back home.. thanks everyone for all your birthday wishes.. i miss all of you so much!!!

20th August:
i was asked by someone from school if i wanted to work.. and i was like, "why not?".. cos like so many people here work.. and i thought it would be fun.. and it's only 1 day a week.. on sunday mornings... which means that i can't go to church.. but there's evening service anyway.. so yeah, i work sunday mornings at port adelaide.. the first train leaves the city at 7.15, and gets me there at about 7.30.. then either i have to take a cab in, or his mum picks me up.. oh, the guy is a school mate of mine.. his family owns a farm, so they grow most of the fruit and veg that they sell.. im just the cashier.. but yeah, it's a good job.. and its only 5 hours.. pay is good too.. it's A$16 an hour.. which is just over S$19... sweet!! hehe..
