good ol' Captain Ball!

Nothing is better than a good long hot shower after a really good game of Captain Ball in the park!

The game was so adrenaline-pumping and exhilirating! Such an awesome game! The guys were practically flying around, and Andrew and Peng, brothers were just so hillarious! Love it when u have brothers on different teams. They pick on each other so much! Also, the girls played really well as too! So glad that there are people who come to play every week, gloom or shine! And Discovering Jesus Group was great as well!

Ok, now for studying. On a Saturday night. Yes, I absolutely HAVE TO! There are so many parties/flat-warmings going on this weekend!!! But it's crappy cos we have the most assignments and tests on the week b4 the break starts!

But im so proud of myself for succesfully making pancakes for my flatmates this morning! I havnt had this kind of pancakes since Form 3!! My maid used to make it for me, but she stopped working, so we never had it anymore. I kinda rmbered helping her make them, but cant remember the right amount of eggs, flour, sugar, milk to add. So, i just made it added the stuff together, and IT WORKED! Feeling so domesticated now..

Im really looking forward to going to Ruamati next week! A good break away from Wgtn, with the committee members. And also Easter camp, and the Powhiri (Maori welcome to a Marae), and Hongi (nose-rubbing ) and Hangi (food cooked under the soil)!

C'mon Jan, who are you kidding?! LOL!

I AM COW

I AM COW!!! by The Arrogant Worms 

I am cow, hear me moo
I weigh twice as much as you
And i look good on the barbecue
Yogurt, curd, cream cheese and butter's
Made from liquid from my udders
I am cow, i am cow, hear me moo (moo)

I am cow, eating grass
Methane gas comes out my ass
And out my muzzle when i belch
Oh, the ozone layer is thinner
From the outcome of my dinner
I am cow, i am cow, i've got gas

I am cow, here i stand
Far and wide upon this land
And i am living everywhere
From b.c. to newfoundland
You can squeeze my teats by hand
I am cow, i am cow, i am cow
I am cow, i am cow, i am cow!

Muahaha!! This song is soooo HILLARIOUS!  The whole commitee got infected with this song during the retreat!! And I brought it back to the flat, and now my flatmates are infected too! LOL! Wont be another month or so before they get over it.

THe day was sooo wondrefully sunny today!!! Can you believe it! Blue blue blue blue sky in mid-autumn!! Took lots of crazy pics. We were being typical Asians, taking pics everywhr we went. But it was fun no doubt!!

 And somebody loves me!! I got my package yesterday!! Dan and my mum sent it.  And I have "Dahfa Jiu Hoo" (the "plastic-like" stringing cuttle fish snacks..if u get what i mean ) and sambal belacan to fry Kangkung!!! And all my clothes as well.

Had a wonderful 2 days of lazing around having nothing to do, and I'l be leaving tomorrow to Feilding tomorrow for Easter camp over the weekend!! It's going to be fun! And then, i should head home and bertaubat after that.

Mannnn!!! It's sooooo cold now. Dont know why. My fingers are freezing!! And I'm already wearing a sweater, and socks. But I'm still refraining from turning on the heater. It's going to cost lots. TAHAN!!!!   BBbbrrrrrrr...........

Toe Socks

Toe socks! Aren't they cute? And they're stripped! Dont know y, but stripes just cheers me up!

Just got one more Econ Blackboard test done. 4 more to go and it has to be done by this sunday!! Arghh...and Econs and Spectroscopy tests next week! So much for a break. Oh well..thank God I get to sleep in.

Went for Dim Sum today!! It was gooood! Ok, mayb not as good for Msian standard, but it's good enough. And it was cheap! $9per person, cos we had some discounts.

Looking forward to movie marathon and pizzas at my flat tomorrow night! Hmm..should think about flat warming..but the thought of the work we have to do to clean up etc...lazy lah.

 Happy Birthday Tracy!!

Imperfect Love 

I long to love, the unselfish style

But it’s a struggle

Cos I don’t know how

I desire to reflect love

As was shown to me

But as I dive deeper

The pressure gets higher

I can’t breathe, I need to be loved as well

I can’t see, I need you to know the sacrifices I made

I can’t feel, the appreciation of my efforts

“What about me?”

Often echoes in my heart

Then again, I snap back

And refocus on what love actually is

But by whose definition?

Some say it’s patient and kind,

It’s not self-seeking

And keeps no account of wrong-doing

It sounds so ideal, so perfect

Pink-fluffy-candyfloss-like, seems easy

Yet in the light of true love

The level of love I can offer

Is but a speck of dust in the universe

Minute. Insignificant.

It’s easy to love when it’s romantic

It’s easy to love when love is the exchange

But what about REAL love?

Have I been too clouded

By Hollywood’s definition of love

Something that exists in every kind of story told

Love is not self seeking

Love expects no reciprocation

A concept inevitably foreign to the carnal being

As yet, we strive to locate love

But beyond that, how do we show love?

What is love, unless You showed us

What is love, unless we have tasted of it

Even so, experiencing is one thing, practising it is another

Would it be right to say that humans are incapable of love?

Maybe not the perfect kind of love

That is probably why relationships and families break down

We’re incapable of true love

In moments such as this

I step back and look up

And again I am reminded of the classic and only example of perfect love

One of which will always remain

It always will.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. [1 John 3:16]

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lays down his life for his friends. [John 15: 12-13]

love noun deep affection or fondness; sexual passion; sexual relations; beloved one; sweetheart [from The Little Oxford Dictionary]

It bitters me to come to terms with how the world perceive love. Distorted. As if it's only confined within a romantic relationship. And sometimes i am charged guilty too.

What's cookin'?

You Are a Learning Cook
You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one.
But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice.
Are You A Good Cook?

Muahaha.....

Ok, I shall procrastinate no more. Having 2 test this week and one full lab report due next Monday!

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty"

I'm contented to be where I am. I perfectly happy in NZ!! Couldnt have asked for any more than all that's around me.

All the friends I have, my wonderful flatmates, the classes that I have, the way things have turned out, ICF, the breath-taking sights around me, the less-polluted air, stars that never fail to shine, even on cloudy nights... and most definitely my amazing Father who's ever present! Thank You Lord for all that are around me, and also thanks for all that may not be immediately around me, my family, Dan, and my friends back home..All whom I dearly miss...

And thank you for the 3 hour SPECTROSCOPY TEST that I have tomorrow!!! Haha!!

OMG!!!!!!!! BLEXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!! WE FORGOT ABOUT OUR "ANNIVERSARY"!!! 12 MAR!!! How could we??!! How many years would that be? 4 years now?! I was just re-reading some of my emails..and somehow I think i re-read ping's email from a year ago, and she mentioned smth about Blex Anniversary. and so i remembered.

Went down halfway of memory lane. Was intending to clear my inbox, which i have the tendency to let it overflow. And naturally, I had to read them, before I delete them...and yeah...was reading some of the emails from Ping, Sue, Dan, Mum, Sis, Jen..and some others. They date approx a year back!! It's been mroe than a year now. And yeah... How much things have changed. Yet sometimes, things seem to remain unchanged. How dynamic relationships with people evolve with time. What I read in the one-year-ago emails are so familiar, and yet...sometimes, I cant help but contrast it with the current.

Ok...my thoughts are no longer coherent. I should sleep and get rest. Have been having wayyyy too many late nights. Looking forward to the weekend, which hopefully would be quieter and less eventful. And I have a full journal-format-lab report due on monday which i havnt started on!!!

Meningococcal Disease case on Campus

Random #1: 

University staff and students who have not been in close contact with the infected student or staff member are at no greater risk than general members of the public.  Anyone who suspects they may have been in close contact with someone who has meningococcal disease should seek immediate medical attention.  Close contact is defined by the Ministry of Health as: Living in the same household; Sleeping in the same room; Attending the same pre-school (for more than just a few hours a week); Sharing food, drink or utensils; Kissing; Sharing spit – from whistles, chewing gum etc.

Ok, that's y it's forbidden to share spit in any form over here. Even drinking from the same bottle. Or sharing dinner. But sometimes we still do, the ICF bunch. And coming from a backgroud where we share almost everything (it's the blex im referring to..You guys know what i mean.. ), i have to make more efforts to refrain. Plus, all my flatmates are catching the flu!! Only Andrew and I are spared, cos we had the flu jab, and I have God's protection! 0

Random #2

I want a missmatched pair of flipflops!!! Sue!! I dont think i ever told u that the missmatched pair that I have broke long time ago! Want to get another pair? But at the looks of it, we probably will never see each other anytime soon..

Random #3:

Urrghh...gahhh...yuck  Kiwi style of washing dishes: Empty the sink, apply stopper to sink hole, fill with hot water, add in diswashing liquid, soak ur dishes in and scrub with a brush, take it out of the soapy water...and here is the BEST PART: Next, just plop the dish on the drying rack, soap dripping and all. No rinsing off the soap!!! And sometimes, you dry it with a clothe. On the diswashing liquid container, it reads: Biodegradable. Biodegradable physiologically? I sure hope! But still, indirectly "eating" sodium ethanoic acid/SOAP (or smth like that? Chemistry form 5?)! Something my mum would sure frown upon!! Dont be too shocked Mum, if you're reading this! Like people say, "dirty eat, dirty live" (try directly translating to Hokkien!) And I think most westerners do this as well! *shrugs*

Ok..gotta write up discussion for my lab report. Ciao!
