Yes, it is this time of the semester AGAIN!!

1. Molecular Genetics test

2. Physiology test

3. 2 x Chem Synthesis Lab Reports

4. Organic Chem Assignment

All these, on FRIDAY! Thankfully we got an extension for the Chem Assgmt. Gahhh.. I will survive! 2 more weeks of uni, and I'l be done with 2nd Year of BBMedSc! It seems like I was just a first year yesterday!

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. THe life that I live in this body, i live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me! Gal 2:20! Lord, through these busy moments, enable me to live for you.

 All's sorted now. God's been amazing! and always is btw! The official offer for the schship arrived, and the tenure of the schship was from 20 Nov 06- 4 Feb 07. But the thing was that I already booked my flight for return to Msia on 31 Jan 07. Even then, there it was so hard to get a confirmed booking. So, I emailed my supervisor requesting to shorten it by a week, and he was sweet with it! So yeah. Tentatively, I'l be leaving for Canberra on 17 Nov, and will return to Wgtn on 29 Jan. And back to Malaysia on 31 Jan!! And back to NZ on 22 Feb. I'll only be back for exactly 3 weeks this time. I'm so gutted that I'l be missing Ping and Sue!! And gosh.. Sue, I havnt seen her since the 2004! 2 whole years, and maybe even more! Oh well.. I stil have all other oh-so-lovely people who'l be back in Pg for CNY right?! And of course, my family and my darling!

Currently feeling: zzzzzzzz

This is awesome! Hahahahaha.. So funny! I know it's been on it for a while, but i just realised it thru my friend's nickname!

The Purple Blanket Man

Anyway, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival today ppl!! The moon was soo beautiful tonight that as I was walking to ICF, i just had to stop at the top of the hill, which overlooks the city lit up, and the moon reflecting on the calm sea. I actually very much enjoy walking around in Wgtn alone, being able to absorb and admire the things around me.

It was a good, short break to take my mind away from the week, esp after so many late nights. I was a little stressed out this week, with uni work, and also just in general, things that are happening around me. Some may even be internal. But it was good to STOP. What happens with me is that I seem to be always on-the-go, my mind is always running, thinking of what to do next. The price I pay for being a choleric, some might say. And if not dealt with well enough, it'l drive me crazy because I end up trying to accomplish things, and miss the very essence of the process of it, which many times involves relationships with people. Also, I was getting a bit distressed about how the application of the Visa to Australia would turn out, and having to get a ticket before it's too late. I guess it's just a melt of so many things happening at once which caused me to be so anxious. I've gotta learn to let go, and let God.

But it is amazing, how STOPPING, and allowing things to flow and happen sometimes create a better outcome, both for the situation, and also for my sanity's sake! Also, just STOPPING, and focussing on the other side of the spectrum, such as being grateful of the things that are happening around me, and around the world, uplifts burdens which tend to be magnified when one's too caught up with it.

An email from a friend recently reminded me of this. And knowing that God's is working amongst my friends, is the one thing that kept me going for the past 2 days. Also, I got a parcel from home today!!! Dan sent me some stuff, and my mum also "tumpang-ed" and she sent me 2 mooncakes! Lotus paste, with almonds, and single yolked! YUuuummmm!!!!!!!!! And I also got DVDs, of which one of them, my darling's the star!! haha.. And amongst other things were "jiu hu" (i'v been craving for them) which Dan has so kindly sent over! Also, Praneta was soo sweet, she gave me a lil rose which she picked from her garden, because she said she was thinking about me during the 262 lab, which I am not doing. (i used to be her lab partner for the 261 lab).

Thank you Lord for surrounding me with people, who challenge and encourage me.

Eeee..

So weird, cos I'm working in the Commerce Library now, and  it is in the Railway Building. And only just now, I saw thick white and black smoke coming out of a train! Being a lil nosy, I climbed on a chair when to have a look. Of course when there's no one in the library! *SHhhhh*

Gosh.. it's sooo windy these couple of days.. I couldnt even walk in a straight line! *tch *tch. But nevermind that, since I managed to have my mix-berry Gelato at the wharf on a sunny Friday after officially completing the 2nd year of my degree! Well, I still have my finals.. but for now, I'm done with classes, labs and what-nots.

Have been having an awesome weekend so far! I purposed to not study.. and it felt SO GOOD! After many weeks of late nights and early mornings and non-existent afternoon naps.. I finally had a good sleep-in on Saturday! And I foresee more of that over the study break! Muahaha. It was a pity that the weather did not play along yesterday, so our Discovering Jesus Group could not go for Choc Fish at Scorching Bay, but it was compensated with yummy Korean BBQ at Ruth's at night! We had authentic Korean-marinated beef, and some less authentic ones, ie beer marinated beef! It tasted a quite.. erm.. different!

And ohh. Mei or whoever who has watched Devil Wears Prada!! Tell me the very last bit of the movie pleaseeee!! What did Meryl Streep tell the second employer about Anne Hathaway when she went for interview with the new company?? Wahh.. damn potong stim eh! The dvd got cut off halfway! We watched the whole movie, and it got cut off at that point!! Cant expect mch from DVDs like that can I?

Had a great catch-up time with Leesha today over Yum Cha, and strolled on Lambton Quay for a bit. And later after work, I'l be heading over for a friend's Orchestra performace and mayb some dinner after! Ahhhh.. I'm enjoying every bit about this weekend! I deserve it!

Adios~!

Gahhhhh!!..

I'm freaking out! Shit.. ahhh... Breathe.. breathe.. breathe.. collect myself, my thoughts... and remember it's all in God's hands.

I'm meant to be in Aust in a month's time, and I still havnt sent in my Visa Application. Everything is soooo complicated, and everyone seems to be so inefficient! ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... And I haven't even gotten my flight ticket yet! All because I havnt gotten my Visa. Sometimes I begin to worry if i'l even end up in Aust next month! What if everything does not turn out right, and i end up having to stay here, or try to get a ticket to go home early. All the dreams and hopes.. dashed.

No.. janice, no.. all the dreams and hopes are in God's control.

And then only just now, we had a flat meeting, to sort out the last bits of our flat issues ie who's gonna clean up what, before everyone leaves. Michael and Micheal (yes, 2 of them) will be leaving this weekend. And only 3 of us will be left for the rest of the exam period. And ... aihz.. it's gonna be depressing. An empty flat, and exams till the very last day of the exam period. And I'l be the last to move out. And gotta worry about packing, not just my stuff, but also all the flat stuff ie TV, utensils, crockery etc. Ok, i know, i shdnt be bearing all these burden, and actually, my flatmates are awesome, everyone's willing to do stuff. But.. arrghh... Ok.. *breathe... and dont over stress out. It'l all turn out fine by God's grace. I think i need a good bawl into my pillow, and I will feel better.

OK. no.. micheal did cheer me up. He was soo sweet, he got Jas and I each an Edmond's cookbook! It's a very famous and easy-to-follow Kiwi Cookbook. So woohoo.. I can cook all sorts of kiwi meals for my family when I go home!
