i'm back frm kalbarri,it was great fun!can't say the same 4 the 6hrs drive there and back in dan's tiny car wif less leg rm than one can imagine.thurs was no joke.due to mismanagement of time and rushing an essay due i studied till the wee hours of the morn 4 a mid semester wif red bull power!oops.was still on a red bull high in the car trip there and couldn't sleep.it was ok coz i had to navigate our way out of perth.pretty fun coz dan wld tok a bit 2 much and miss turns here and there and i wld lose my place on the map but we wld eventually get back on course.the best pple were clarice, dan's sis and her bf keith (who,as pple who haf cum into contact wif him will know,is a details person,he does not believe in summaries...)we sorta ran there and back on the power of worship songs.fun!cept i was the only one singing cept 4 dan going off key.o well.= ) its the heart.arrived to 2 chalets filled wif families.let me introduce u. there's the missionary family.uncle peng kim,aunt joyce and their kids lis,ben and samantha, a very noisy little gal. then there's the elder's family,aunt joanna kee, uncle kee and cheryl,who's quite crazy 2.then there's the pastor's family, uncle basil, aunt yvonne, shane and justin. then there's dan's parents, uncle james and aunt caroline. wow.is that it?yup.it was juz so good,good place (river mouth,small town quaintness,pink lakes...),good food(thanks to the tonne of fish we caught and good cooks like uncle peng kim who owns the snackbox),good company (the kids were crazy,i tink i taught them a tad too many crazy songs from camping days,oops.and the adults had corny jokes but also words of wisdom 2 share.
on the 1st day, clarice keith lis cheryl dan and the boatman laurie went fishing.lis and clarice got seasick.and cheryl the first time fishergal caught the 1st fish!keith was the anchorman,hee hee.in total they caught 20 fish.dan was the "fisherman",well dats wat everyone calls him.frankly, he sumtimes smells like 1 too.oops.= )dan was like helping everyone on board, so was laurie.meanwhile, the men went golfing and i accompanied sam(antha) to the beach where she attempted 2 catch fish fry in a coke can without avail,then she started to build sandcastles and i assisted in building moats.later she got bored and started 2 build butt holes in the sand.later back at the chalet,we got even more bored and i taught them the underwear song.ask denise or eddie to sing it 2 u.it cracks pple up everytime.4 din we had wat else but fresh fish.now i haf fish bone phobia but the fish was juz so good i couldn't stop eating.
day 2,was actually fishing competition day,i haf no idea y dan slotted me in,to b the charm?coz i was a 1st timer and he expected me to get the big one.i told him i already did even before we left land.= D me dan justin shane and ben were on. me and shane got seasick. wich was weird coz normally i can ride rollercoasters on a full stomach and cum out a ok.maybe it was the smell of bait and/or diesel.i really dunno.anyway i caught my 1st fish, while i was still seasick.a pink snapper!after the 3rd fish i was keeling over and puking so i gave up 4 the day.but we really hit the spot coz we wld juz drop bait and almost immediately wld get a bite.we juz kept pulling up fish after fish.we caught 50 over dat day and dan nearly caught sharks on 3 oppurtunities but they snapped the line.didnt haf enuf 2 enter competition anyway.but we had lots of good eating fish. i was supposed 2 b onboard cameragal but was 2 seasick 2 lift a finger.wanted to film dan's "holey" shirt.heez.
3rd day went horseriding!wif sam cheryl clarice and keith.so cool rode thru river!but my horse was big,name of diesel,who apparently was dan's horse last year.hmm.then went canoeing wif pretty much the same bunch.hey,rhyme!anyway,uncle basil's canoe kept capsizing wif sam laughing hysterically away.we got back to answered prayers 4 fish.finally mackerel and tuna!but most of the adults cept 4 dan and his dad got seasick.had a bbq dat nite and me and sam juz went crazy singing mad songs.
well dat was kalbarri,can't wait to go there again.next year!yay!

eating really gd cake dan brght last nite. my life revolves around food. so does his. = ) he did the silly knock on door hide one side and left cake on floor. i opened door but was blind (i nid contacts!) and saw a blob of duno wat on the floor, i went "wat in the world?!" went in to get my specs and out popped dan. rite.= )happy happy, very happy.
2day did heart dissection 4 lab.phun. tried to take each others blood pressure, didn't know it would b so hard to hear dat still small tapping sound. sorta like listening to wat God has 2 say!

hey where did last weeks blog go?argh, i cant b bothered to do it again. computers. make. me. cry.
eating fried rice 4 din,getting slightly cheesed off at uni regulations on students returning frm sars affected areas. we either have to prove that we r medically fit or stay off campus 10 days. ok dats it, i'm not going back this mid year if this is still in effect.
had a gd time at mcu 2day. eileen and jialin were asking abt wat the bible says abt homosexuality, frank and bogden were saying its explicit etc...then i 'butted' in and revealed dat andrew didn't believe dat the bible was totally the word of God. o well. juz gotta pray and God will convict him in his own time. hey i condemn sin, but i condone the person.
let me tink.try 2 remember wat i slaved over 4 the blog dat never appeared.was doing a ton of mad things 4 the oral presentation of my foundation unit project.
mon we hanged at chiristine's flat and saw the entire lotr 2. oso had a huge pig out session.oops.my gp is juz so on abt it.hey all of us luv lotr, 3 out of 4 haf to get hd's (high distinctions) coz i nid 2 and diane and carrie (the atheist who swears to God...) wan 2 transfer 2 vet next year.
wed we filmed out christine's dream of me posing as sum psychology prof proving our thesis on the characteristics that attract pple to heroes. it was fun, i did it in one take with the rest trying their best to control their laughter. we did it i murdoch college, diane's dad is the principal, how cool is dat?
thurs nite we went 2 hoyts cinema at carousel (huge, a bit like suntec). since we weren't allowed to film inside the cinema we resorted 2 standing juz outside the main entrance, placing the logo in the background.its juz so interesting,pple here r more willing 2 go on film. in spore,pple will avoid u like the plague if they knew they would b on camera.on the way back we realised christine busted her car battery by leaving the headlights on.she blamed it on being a country bumpkin not used to driving in the bright city at nite.after accepting the fact dat no one in the carpark had jumper cables,we called the rac (sum automobile association) and they appeared in 15 min!pretty amazing considering wa's motto-wait awhile...
been real tired past few days coz of ministering to one of my christian siblings til the wee hours of the morn.then dan will cum hlp 2.= )i really dun mind, i m here 2 b a listening ear and fellow fellowshipper.but coz of dat fell asleep during chem lect on fri and diane drew a pink highlighter penis(!) on my cheek,and then again on my neck when i conked out the 2nd time.DIANE!!!
fri nite live was amazing,as usual.God was so close during the prayer tunnel.i m starting 2 tink i will never b able 2 make it thru a prayer tunnel unfloored.i got floored.again.in so many ways.wow.fell in joy of God's presence,juz worshipped Him on the floor laughing and smiling,then another pastor prayed over the holds of foreign gods on my life,wich was true,i unknowingly drank water wif burnt joss paper in it b4,given 2 me by relatives who followed a weird form of taoism but wif gd intentions 2 cure my chronic stomachaches when i was young.then AGAIN aunt teresa prayed over the lies dat i haf been cursing myself wif.i started 2 belive dat God wld reign over my financial situation and dat i am beautiful in his sight.
dan cooked beef stew on sat and steak on sun 4 everybody!fun!
went 2 new life city church,pon soccer,oops,found it solely asian and not very warm.
going kalbarri wif dan & frens during easter wkend,fun and stress at same time.haf to rush work!= )

wow last nite at pclc fri nite live was amazing. at the end of worship there was this prayer tunnel thing where everybody prays 4 everybody else and is prayed 4 by everybody. i have never gone to anything like this and previous times we were juz too hungry to stay 4 it. started off praying 4 pple,God juz gave me the words to pray over each person even tho i haf never met them b4. there was juz this impresiion and inclination as to wat to pray 4 them. then i started going into the tunnel and right at the beginning my legs couldn't walk straight already, the power of the Holy Spirit was alive in that place. i heard auntie teresa, uncle tim's wife who is the prayer coordinator praying over me "a burning bush experience..." i was tinking, how did she know i was presbyterian? or maybe it was something else...even now i m still pondering her words. after a few meters pastor stora prayed over me and that was it, the Spirit floored`me and i juz cried and sobbed and didn't know y. asi fell i heard pastor stora praying for all the fear to b released frm me. i juz lay and the Spirit ministered to me and would not let me get up. even after that the Spirit was still interceding on my behalf. was still slightly shaking. it was amazing coz i neva thot dat fear of sumthing was hindering my walk wif God. dan said it could b the fear of not being able to stay here, the fear of not doing well in my studies but one of the first things dat came 2 mind was the sars situation in spore. i really don't know, all i did was feel so ministered by the Lord. at the end of the tunnel dan looked 4 me but couldn't find me coz i was on the floor. = ) he thot the rapture had happened and left him behind coz so many pple sorta disappeared at the end of the tunnel. heez.
now trying to get started on my work, hopefully i can get enuff dun so i can fully enjoy myself 2nite at brian's dinner. he is a really funny guy. and soccer match tmrw and the live cd recording at pclc tmrw nite. fun!

hee v happy...never felt like this before...my self-esteem has been raised to a higher level coz i m in love! dats off my chest, dun ask me y,i haf never been attached before and it is just so wonderful now. can't believe i didn't c the "warning signs" clearly or i was just too innocently assuming all daniel wanted to b was a good christian brother. aniwae i haf never been happier, i tink it was God's divine intervention that brought us together, meeting him at the shop could haf been the first and last time but no...I had to set up a mini trinix base von campus and well i m just enjoying the journey of discovery with him. it is really absolutely amazing that a guy could love me for who i m. and that practically all our frens are happy for. apparently his frens haf been praying 4 him to get attached since 2 months ago. furthermore auntie chiew peng prophesied sumthing like this wld happen when i was here and a baby wif a sensitive spirit seemed to respond really well to me too. o well i m just totally enjoying this new chapter of my life wif him. he is so much like me and yet better in the things i m not so gd at, computers 4 example...ok sum stats on him but it doesnt really matter i love him 4 who he is, 25, singaporean but pr here, on fire 4 God, loves to worship God, sensitively sweet and affectionate, huggable, humourous, a heart 4 pple ok i can't list everything but i tink he's taken away my fear of getting close to a guy because of all the hurt that has been inflicted on me by the opposite sex, esp those who were closest to me. i just feel so much more a better person when i m wif him, feeling like we can do so much more 4 God together. age isn't really a matter coz quite frankly i tink he has a younger attitude than me wich is juz so fun. not to mention his crazy cute laughter. put his and jialin's hysterical laughter together and u get...a madhouse, or car depending where they start getting tickled. his goals and sentiments are almost exactly the same and i m just learning so much frm him. i feel like i have known him 4 a long long time...its so amazing he finds me so special ahhh...he says i m a dinosaur coz pple like me r going extinct hee...wish sum of u cld b here to know him too he is juz such a gd fren.
wat was my wk like hmmm...blew the non-teaching break stoning...o yes astar called and said they can't fund me this semester coz i onli had 1 a 4 my a levels and by right they were onli considering pple wif 4 a's but they wld still consider me after 1st semester results so i gotta work real hard if i wan 2 stay here. tests went ok but i m still getting to the ambiguous way of testing here. the week is finally over, i m juz bushed.
the sars thing is really hitting me hard, so many pple in singapore that i know and love but i can't b there. all i can do is pray, seems so freaky. if things get any worse there seems to b a purpose as to y i m studying here not in spore.
there was a scratch match (frenly) on wed wif freo team, had food poisoning during 1st half coz i tink i used the same sponge dat sam used to clean the floor to clean my dishes. yuck. dom the coach wondered where i was then decided to place me 4 most of the 2nd half, it was a gd hard game, realised even more so now dat i was made 4 speed not keeping speed up 4 a long period of time. o well it was a gd experience, my 1st match in oz. aniwae the season is starting and matches r on sundays so i gotta prioritise and decide what i really want to do wif my time.
life is so beautiful now...= )
