Fly Kite!

WHAT'S WITH ME AND PPL WHO LIKE TO FLY KITE! So babi k! Kena fly kite twice in 2days!! babi babi babi!   

YEsterday, I was supposed to do this job; handing out fliers. And the employer told me to go to Bats Theatre to collect the flyers at 10.30am. So fine, I walked for half an hour, and got there, and then, the stupid theatre was not open yet. So fine, I sat there with this other guy, who was also doing the job. And then, later, another girl, who was supposed todo the job came as well. WE waited for an hour and stil no one. So fine, I decided to text my employer (it's not Bats Theatre that is employing us), and she said she didnt know why either, and asked us to go back, and she would call u when things get sorted out. Ok, fine, so i lenggang in town for a while, and then took the cable car back up to Weir, half fuming. Just when i decided to curl up in bed with a novel, the lady from Bats Theatre called again, and said that the fliers are there already and that I could go and collect them, either on that day, or the next day. Well, i was thinking that IAm having a meeting today, so i must as well go to town and get it done. Yess....I walked for HALF AN HOUR AGAIN! and went and collected the stuff, and went around posting posters and handing out fliers at cafes!

As if yesterday wasnt enough, Evan stood me up today! I was supposed to have a meeting with him to discuss the Grant for the 2nd Hand Bookstall, and i was waiting at the library for half an hour. Texted him, but he didnt reply. SO fine, i went to town to continue the ohter half of my flier distribution. Later he texted, "oh, I thought it was on thurs". He memang a bit blur wan. Babi k! ALL THESE KIWIS!

But then, looking on the flip side, I walked around Oriental Bay to hand out the fliers, so, I got to soak up some sun! The weather here is beautiful now!! It's close to summer actually!! Yes, i should drag my friends out for frisbee later! but no, I've gotta start packing!! Argghhh!! so many things!!

Ping: erm..hopefully it will arrive in time lah. I'm moving out this saturday. If not, I should be able to come back to collect them lah. Kua...Thanx lots anyway!!

Boxes. Nutcracker. Cops. Last Breakfast.

And so, I took down the last thing on the wall that belongs to me: The Jigsaw that Dan customised for me. And slowly broke the pieces up, and kept them safely into a box. And thus, leaves my wall almost bare.

At 2am, 5th Nov 2005, I finally succeeded in packing my life in boxes and luggages, once again. Notalgic. And I also managed to finish all the chores we had to do.

Clean the window. Check.

Clean the table. Check.

Make sure phone has no dust. Check.

Mirror sparkly clean. Check. (I look prettier now LOL!)

Vacuum the floor. NOT DONE! (must do tomrrow morning )

Shelves cleared. Check. (Except for Daniel Carter, who's still there. Jas will take that down.)

Aihz...Cant imagine it was 10months ago when I first inhabited this room. Now, all that's left, on the table is my laptop. And my bedsheet and duvet, which i'l have to pack tomorrow.

I was just sitting at the edge of my bed just now, slowly allowing my emotions to sink. I'll miss Weir House, and the atmosphere and the ppl. The community living. Wont really miss the food, cos im jsut so sick of it now. It's been a year, and I thank God for the this opportunity that I have. I thank God for bringing me to a place I never dreamt of. It's true that we can plan all we want, but it's God's purpose that prevails. THe picture of NZ was not in my mind, ever, well, not until I actually went to the interview, only did I start to allow possibilities of me residing in NZ. Praise God for His ever loving hands, that guides me day and night, winter and storm.

Oh well, I've had my fair share of hostel life, I should be looking forward to flatting next year! Have got a bunch of fun ppl to flat with. And we even drew lots for our room already! I got a sunny room! Yippees!! And all the cooking and stuff. This is the real world man!

Ohya, I went for The Nutcracker just now! It's a ballet and it was so chun!! Charlotte, Jas, Michael, Leon, Andrew and I decided to dress up a lil, though the part about walking down Dixon Steps (approx 145 steps) in my heels isnt exactly that thrilling! And gosh..I love the weather here now! It's so warm, but not humid! Beautiful! It's a waste that I wont be here for Summer.

And ohya ohya!! Drama!!!!After the Ballet, we were walking back, and we were on this five-foot-path, walking towards a junction. The guys were walking behind, and then, suddenly, a few police cars stopped right next to us, at the turn of the junction, and a few policemen jumped out and pushed thru the crowd, and nabbed 2 youngsters. And so, we girls thought nothing happened, and we continued ahead, but we realised that the cop stopped Michael and was talking to him!! Later we found out that those youngsters were trying to snatch Michael's cell phone which he was holding in his hand at that time. And so, we stood outside Molly Malones for another 15 mins, waiting for the cops to get Michael and Leon's testimony. And one of the youngsters were taken away in handcuffs! Drama man!! Everyone who walked past us must have thought that we committed some crime or smth. But we''re innocent. Plus, we were all dressed up, girls in dresses, guys in shirt and tie! Yeah, so that was great drama for the night!

okie dokie, better go off and ZZZzz. Gonna have my last sup..err, i mean breakfast with the bunch tomorrow. And then, I'll be moving to Leesha's place. Oh btw, ping and sue (if u read this) and dan and whoever else who sends me mail, my address is no longer Weir House aye!

Will miss blogging from the comforts of my room. MY ROOM!

From Leesha's humble abode

Heyoo people!!

Missed me? hoho!

Have been staying at leesha's place. Her flat is soo chun! I have a whole room to myself, and a double bed! And sunshine in the morning to wake me! Have been having a great week so far. And Committee retreat yesterday was hillarious, serious and fun! Really thank God for the ICF committee that I'm in. We're all able to work together, not only as work partners, but also as friends. God has been amazing tot the committee, and so far, things seems to be going alright, we're working together well, and also, we have almost the same vision for ICF. Every time i sit back to reflect on the things that God has been guiding me/us thru, once again, I'm spurred to put even more into His service. Many time as I reflect, i'm grateful for God, who has always been there, despite the fact that I've run astray at time.

And GUESS WHAT??! I cooked today! For leesha and myself!! LOL! Fried bihun, with egg gravy, and I fried "siew pak Choy", daddy-style, with oyster sauce. It was not too bad, much room for improvement still. And Im gonna endeavour to cook TOmYam soup tomorrow night! Got up early this morning to buy prawn and crabstick and some oth ingredients. Cross my fingers and hope that it will turn out alright.

Anyway, to u SPM-ers who are still ahving exams, all the best!!!

Im looking forward to the whole week leadership conference at Paraparaumu! We're gonna meet all other campusses from the whole of NZ!! Yayz!!

It's gonna blow the flat away!

OMG!!! WEllington is crazy!! Yesterday was soo beautiful, actually felt like summer cos i was so close to perspiring! And then, this morning, i was awaken by the WIND! It was so super strong, even now. And gosh, occasionally, when a strong gust comes, i could literally feel the apartment shaking! Should I climb under the table? Haha, kidding. It's like slight tremors! Scaryy...feels like the apartment is gonna be blown down. 

Hmm..Am bored now. Got so much to do actually. I'm so procrastinating about writing abt my experience for HSC for Mr Goh. ANd I so have to get my enrolment for next year done by this week! Argghhh!! I need another 22points, and i dunno what I want to do!! SHould i do French? But apparently there's lots of assignments. Jas took it last trimester. Taking Chinese would be more practical, but then, I think it clashes with my courses for my 2nd and 3rd year. How?! Anthropology? What is it about?! I really dowana take some science course again, cos i'll be so sick and bored with it. babi man, i dread arranging courses.

Changes

It's been a superly long week for me. Nonetheless, every moment of it was truly cherished because I got to meet so many great ppl from other campuses. And I am feeling so happy and blessed financially/opportunit-ially (such a word? hah!) to attend such a wonderful conference. I am really encouraged at the devotion of the TSCF (tertiary students christian fellowship) staff workers to campus ministries. Many things have I learnt, about God, and myself, as well as about people, and the world. There are so many things that are swarming about in my head that I cant even begin to sort them out properly. One thing I have to do before I leave for home, is to sit down, re-organise my priorities, esp for over the summer and not let it slip by as if I never had a break. And also, as the year draws to an end, I find myself more reflective and nostalgic. Seems like much has happened in 2005, and surely, I have changed, in one way or another. And one thing that I must do is to sit down, and keep track of the change, and pen down my thought and feelings.

And speaking of change, I guess going home this week would also mean change for me yet again. Just when I felt settled and at ease with my new life here, I'll soon find myself trying to fit back into the life that I left in Msia 10 months ago. I look forward to home with much joy and yet, I cant help but wonder what this 3 months break hold for me, in terms of my relationship with God, family, r'ship with Dan, with friends, the fireBRANDS, campus ministry and a whole lot more. Sometiems I sit and am assured of what is ahead of me, and yet at times, I cant help but feel that one can never tell what is ahead. And all I can do is commit all plans to God, because "man can make plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will prevail". I long to yield myself to God's purpose, yes, even in this short term of 3 months.

Hope I'll be able to get the Industrial Training at a lab when i get back, and if not, then a job that is convenient for me transport-wise. Hmm..one thing i'll miss about Welly is that everything is reachable by foot! Nvm, I shall brave myself, to either walk in Pg, which is rather impossible cos I'll prob die of sun-stroke by then. Or mayb I can cycle around, but that still doesnt really solve the problem of heat in Msia. Oh well, we'll see.

This will prob be my last entry and see you all at home on 25 Nov!

Boy and Girl

I really do not know what future holds for Dan and I. And I dont even know what to expect for these 3 months to come. No, I'm not thinking that this r'ship will end or what, but it's just that I've realised the change in the dynamics of this r'ship, esp in these past 1/2 months. Quality communication between us is almost zero, and I guess since we've survived 10 months, a few more days is but a grain of sand on the beach. And yet, I often find myself wondering how we'll be able to fit each other in our schedule, or more like, how i'll be able to fit into his schedule. Seems like he's been totally busy, and it will be even more as the year comes to an end. Haven't been having much connections with him, except for occasional surface chats. Nonetheless, I want to deliberately put my trust in God, because this relationship was built in Him in the first place. And I guess we've just gotta learn to keep walking closely to Him as a couple. AIhz..10 whole months. And surely, God  has been awesome and gracious to both Dan and I. SO much has happened, between us, and gosh...it's been soo long since I've been with him! SOmetimes I find myself wondering what it's like to be with Dan again. To be in close proximity. And pardon me, but sometimes, I even wonder what it would feel like to be living in the same state as ur bf. haha! 

Whatever it is, I want to commit this r'ship to God. Esp now taht I'll be going home. I often pray taht this "reunion" for us would help us to build each other up, and that we may both grow and learn more about God as well as each other. And above all, that God may find this relationship to be pleasing to Him.

Finally Home!

weeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy......................

Why no one is in Penang izit?! Everyone in KL izit? Tracy, Mei, Jo? Sharon ur not coming back anytime soon ah? Ting leh? Ying coming back on 9th rite? REEN U MUST COME BACK! if not for me, at least for our reunion. Sobs. WE've gotta catch up, we've gotta catch up!!!!

(ps tracy: no, i wasnt secretive about whne im coming home. I said that I was coming back on Friday wat. Which was not true, but read further for the cheeky reason. Heh!)

Hehe..anyways, I've been back since Wednesday, earlier than what I told you all (Friday).You see, I have been planning to surprise Dan about my return right from the start of the year. Then, one day, he asked me if i wanted to surprise my family, and he'll pick me up from the airport, spend the day together, and then trick my mum the next day. SO, I played along, with the plan to trick HIM still in mind! SO, I came back even earlier, and told my mum to pretend taht Im coming back later. And then, there was this whole planning thing that I had to do, so he doesnt realise taht I was no longer in NZ. I even called him from Spore, when he thinks taht I'm still in NZ! Woohoo!! It was fun, but boy..it needed a lot of planning, because of the time difference as well. I was soo excited about it for so many months! And many times, when i was bored, I would lie down and plan out the surprise, and snicker to myself.

 Anyways, so yeah, I spent Wed with my family, and went to his house to surprise him on Thurs morning, when he actually thought that he's picking me up on the afternoon itself. I called his mum up the day before, and asked her if she could open the door for me. And yeah, so, basically, i woke dan up, and guess hwat he said?! "What are u doing here?" in a super blur voice! Hahah..lawak man. And it took quite some time before he actually believed that he, the king of tricks such as this, was tricked! I was taught well aint I? And for the rest of the day, i was rubbing it in, "Yessssssss....!" I spent a good 2 days with my darling, and went shopping with mum on Sat, and managed to meet some friends at Youth and church.

It has been great home so far, but I gosh, I forgot how humid it is here! I'm sticky all the time! And also the weather! Goshhh!!! Can u imagine, when i left Welly, it was raining, and then, at transit in Auck, it was raining as well. And when i arrived a Spore, it was raining too! No prizes for guessing that it was raining in Pg when i arrived as well!! Siau man! Still havnt experienced a full day of sun since  i got home!

Ohya, I might be starting work in Dec. Will be meeting my prospective employer tomorrow, gonna work at a lab in USM. Hopefully I'l get the job, and also get paid for it!

ps Jo: liting, khoo and myself (and whoever else) are going for pan mee at 8am on this wednesday. Join us Ya!!!! or are u working d? but work dont start so early.

pps: my new cell no. is 012-4122378 Text me!!
