butt hurts. hee. went horseriding wif village pple on sat & it still hurts! never thot it wld affect my body so much. not used to cross country riding but it was really an experience. my horse was barney & he was so lazy wouldnt budge unless u showed him the fake whip, a branch i pulled off a tree. jialin had the sweetest horse, barbarian. v funny. her horse wld fart and mine wld pee. i n knew horses cld fart & pee so much.
really tired out and sleep deprived even tho its non teaching wk now, was rushing my essay drafts last wk coz i left them to the last min. oops. even then still like going sch coz making myself go 4 wkshops.
came back frm soccer, juz found out had to pay $100 membership. o well its quite ok considering. we oso haf 2 sell chocs to keep membership this low. o well i like 2 sell things aniwae. gotta sell freddos. frog shaped chocs but they taste pretty gd, dats y they r an endangered species, hee.
o yes bedlam had this drink on the bar tab on fri 4 fun, drank one bottle of barcardi and got drunk. not really, more like tipsy. better to increase my tolerance in case i ever nid 2 hold alcohol even tho i dun really like the taste and effects. then went 4 pclc youth worship, really gd! talked 2 pastors there abt assemblies of God, its ok, not too hard up about ritualistic things but maybe i'll try to find a charismatic presbyterian church. yes i know it sounds a little oxymoronic...so far i like pclc the best, but perth is so big...so many more churches for me 2 explore.
went to fcc, finally on sun. was ok, pple r real nice but it was practically all asian, and i wan 2 be immersed in this new culture, not cut off frm it. roy's going ns next wk! can't use the 'i terrorised him in sunday sch' bit abt him animore.
made frens wif this gal sharolyn, got cheap tix 2 c chicago on mon. so cool! highly recommended! momma was so sexy and voluptuous but not fat. wow. oso learned another thing abt car manners. but i tink this is perculiarly malaysian.samantha was 'sharon! go sit in front!' after chun yi (2nd year vet) stopped off at her home. i didn't know y til sam said in msia if only 1 person sitting in front then person behind is being chauffered wich is quite rude if it is ur fren giving u a lift. o well n c pple doing dat in spore but its gd to know. sigh looks like i learn all my manners the hard sad way, thru trial and error.
sun went church together, this thing where all the churches in perth cum 2gether 2 worship. it was so gd! the worship was so inspiring i wan 2 bring those fantastic songs back to spore to share them. the speaker was really gd too, best one i've heard in perth but he's british! j john really looked acted and spoke like mr bean! really effective speaker. got the message thru alrite.
after dat a bit funni coz dan's car got locked in multi-storey carpark in northbridge at 12pm. we missed it by 10 min, jialin was cackling away. amazingly roy popped out of lan shop next door so dan cld get his sis' car frm uwa. then kelvin unexpectedly met the 'girl' of his dreams. the last i heard he's proposing 'marriage'. 2 the CAR. = ) now he cant wait 4 'her' mother to cum back frm spore...
got word dat astar revising my scholarship coz i did worse than predicted. they say it was onli in principal approval. but phillip yeo took me in on my worse prelims. so i duno wat is really happening. i may b 'bond free'. o well juz trusting in God all the way. no matter wat happens he will always b wif me. really duno wat God's plan 4 me is now, all i can do is rely on him wif all my heart.
every wkend dan is brnging different batches of my frens 2 his place 2 c his dvd and incredible mp3 collection. 150 000 songs! wow. then he popped by yesterday to use my net 2 study but instead he went crazy on student village network and leached shared files. now i haf 1000 songs on my com in 1 nite and various episodes of dumb ads, celebrity deathmatch, anime and transformers?! boys and their entertainment. wheres my little pony? = ) my com is starting 2 look like dan's, but it will never match up, he has 6 hard drives! techies drool now...
going sunset cinema tmrw in king's park, catch me if u can. yes! so much better than 007, the inhuman human who never gets stds...gonna c the wengyan & jialin show, screaming at the bugs = )

went to lakeside last sun, worship was great but i didnt like the fact dat sum youth juz went crazy over the fast jumpy songs and left the service when the slow songs started. also it was almost totally caucasian and nobody seemed to know who was new. not dat i haf anything against all asian or all caucasian churches, i understand they do have a purpose and fill certain niches wich is gd, but i tink God's family is for everybody, a step higher nids 2 b taken, and i wld rather serve in a church where everybody is comfortable wif everybody else. a lot of them r tired of chrch hopping and haf sorta settled down but i will take my time, 2 c where God wans me 2 go.

running around freo (fremantle) during fcc enroute, sumthing like amazing race. got delayed an hour so looked at parrots in park so cute! met sandra megan there! got placed into a random gp coz i signed up during o day but didnt pay! but it was fun coz i was in the onli mainly caucasian gp. jessica frm msia gp leader, funni jen frm us (hey she was a summer camp instructor too!), bianca and inge frm darwin and sandy frm canada. realli glad i got to know them, inge and sandy r 3rd year vets and inge is real frenly offering to lend me her notes and bks if i eva nid them. enroute was fun! really got to know my way arnd freo beta. my team was really fired up to win, we ran to practically every station and got to the final checkpoint 1st! we were eventual champs and won ikea lamps! hey dat rhymes..but sumbody was saying the 1st prize was a cruise last year, but i m already so happy wif my prize now! the photos we had to take all turned out nice! there was onli 1 terrible encounter during the whole thing. to get bonus points we had to get a photo wif at least 15 seagulls in it. b4 one of us cld take the photo, an abo (aborigine), i tink he was drunk, chased them all away and asked us to take a photo of him. we ignored him and a few of his frens started cursing the caucasians. we juz walked away quickly but i tink jen was so angry she gave him the finger. that wasnt a very pleasant experience.
and st after enroute we hopped down 2 cottesloe 4 the spore inter uni beach thing. as predicted by dan, mostly freshies were there. but it was fun, talked to pple frm other unis.it was so hot it was hot! the tug of war was tiring, got tugged a lot. sum silly pple got sprained stuff and abraised hands! then there was tiring relay. and super funni step on ur balloon dun step on mine game. after dat became sand attractor, sand juz wouldnt fall off me. the water was so nice onli cld wade coz my miserable fren had to accompany me to the beach! now i haf funni tan lines all over me ahh!

my stomach feels funni.m i juz hungry or was it the penang laksa i ate 4 din that wasn't zapped properly? oops. but it was quite nice it has to be apparantly some sultan in johor eats the same thing. the lobangs daniel has. food lobangs r gd. and for the benefit of everybody out there including my parents whose imaginations always run wild-daniel is NOT i repeat NOT trying to date me. can't pple juz b nice 2 each other regardless of gender? can't a brother in Christ just want to help out a sister in Christ? i say wat is the world cuming to when u can onli safely interact wif pple of the same gender w/o suspicions running loose? o wait a minute, in this era of un-heterosexual pple, that may not always b the case either. = )
ok ok frm the advice of nice pple out there i will start using paragraphs and not kill everybody's eyes frm reading my blog.
hair...been very busy lately running around doing things buying stuff trying to settle into uni routine. so mayb this is all i can manage for the while even tho i wld like 2 blog more often. gives me a sense of release u know.
got a call frm jialin abt 10pm. "we r having a prayer meeting, wan 2 join us?" i thot it was something serious so i went out in my windbreaker but shorts and it was COLD. it is true, u can experience 4 seasons in a day here in perth. and it was so sweaty hot in the afternoon! apparantly the turnout wasn't so gd, but where 2 or 3 r gathered in His name...juz me jialin and kelvin the ringleader. he juz got this idea to juz sit down and share abt our spiritual lives. wich was gd, i really thank God 4 giving me so many brothers and sisters here.
and in the morning i didn't go to church! ahhh! lisa dun kill me! it was an honest mistake! lisa so nice call to make sure i go church. aniwae we thot there was 11am service at lakeside but when we got there there was a big hullabaloo wif daniel's frens there and me and andrew got pushed off to the visitor's lounge. i was tinking, isn't service gonna start? wat r we doing here? then the fantastic choc mousse cake sorta distracted me. (hint: visiting churches in oz is a great gastronomic adventure! the visitor's lounge food is always nice!) ok but dats not the point. = ) daniel kept saying sori but i dunno y i blur lah,had to wake up at 9,but i went back to sleep and woke up at 9.55 instead. i like to sleeeeeep. it was then dat i finally realised there was no 11 service, dat wld onli happen next week! o well can always cum again.
then we drove to jojo's near uwa to c c. supposed to b a gd fishing spot. lots of dead puffer fish on the pier and jellyfish in the water.
then down to cottesloe beach to eat lunch at the blue duck. the food was gd, nothing like i haf ever tasted. i had stuffed squid. chewy.= )
