♥ busy week
sunday.
skipped church and continued to work on 2209 literature review in the morning, went to cambodia 'compulsory' meeting at 230, then straight to uni to continue working on the assignment. moved from scibry to mcl at around 6... then ended up going home at around 9/10ish. slept at 5am - latest i've ever stayed up for an assignment i think.
monday.
woke up at 8ish to get to uni by 9. drank my soup outside science cafe while chris read through my lit review. group meeting from 10am, handed in lit review at 11:45am, assessed lab debate 12pm, home to recover from lack of sleep. watched an awesome ep of criminal minds while painting my nails with some opi, suzie says feng shui.
remembered how much my dog loves smackos. no joke. the commerical doesn't lie.
jacko goes wacko for smackos.
tuesday.
woke up... watered the plants, started dad's car, played with the dog, fed the dog brekky... off to uni i went, picked up kfc on the way for the bf and myself. waited outside physics for josh to finish class to give him his food, bumped into chris who was on the way to class. went to my stats class, then MCL to work on stats assignment. home for tutoring.
wednesday.
woke up, went to uni, picked up red rooster on the way for the bf and i. met up with him to eat, the straight to MCL to work on assignment again. i hate when MCL is completely booked out - all the computers are not even being USED. i don't know why they don't leave one block free -___-" followed josh to reid for about 15 minutes, until rob called me and said it had unbooked as it had just passed 12pm... worked on assignment, stat class at 2, tute at 3, camped at MCL all night with these two guys that i befriended from my stats class. while one went to pick up some equipment or something, i went to dinner with rob...
it's really confusing because there are three robs i know this semester, two are in my stats class (asian rob and tall rob) with one of them also doing psyc (tall rob), and then there's the other rob whose doing psyc and is in my lab (white rob) and i did the debate with. but yeah, so i have these three robs in my phone address book, and i keep accidently messaging / calling the wrong one.. zzz.
so anyways, asian rob insisted we went to grilled because he dislike broadway :( and wanted to eat proper food.
the meat pattie thing is quite healthy o___O...
the chips are good!

| uhh bacon and cheese something something burger |
looking at their production line style reminded me of something we learnt in mgmt about specialisation and when you do the same small thing over and over again (e.g. spread the bun with sauce) it gets boring, repetitive and job satisfaction decreases.
 |
| production line at grilled |
adam joined us back after picking up his thingo and then we camped at MCL til about 1am.
 |
| this is adam. in MCL. at 1am was it? |
thursday.
woke up a bit after 11... reached uni at 1ish... called work to ask if i could come in later... went to visit lecturer for assignment help... went to reid to photocopy stuff and bumped into helen who was heading to work and i asked her if she needed a lift since she worked in the same shopping center as i... still had a bit of time so went back to mcl for a while then left to go to work... it was quiet so i asked if i could leave early. went home, cooked rice, showered, packed lunch, fed the dog, made tea, left to uni. camped til just after 2am. went home, slept at 3am
friday.
woke up at 9:30... reached uni at 11:10am. went through stats assignment one last time before handing it in, worked on stats lab for that week. went for lunch at 1pm with adam and asian rob. $8.50 asian buffet... not far from uni either. errr food wasn't awesome. but $8.50 buffet? what do you expect?
went back to uni, printed a map of how to get to the airport at eng. called chris who just finished class and was about to head into the city. so figured i'd might as well tag along since i had an hour to kill. waited for him, drove to nb, walked around looking for mooncake [SIGH. surprised it was quite hard to find the type i was looking for]
walked him to k3g for his haircut. picked up this mooncake that i had settled on while walking back to the car.
pretty proud i made it to the airport from the city. considering i've never driven that route before. google maps on your phone is so handy. uber hate traffic though. cars were barely moving on tonkin.
ate some mooncake while waiting for parents at the airport. picked them up.. drove into that "pick up" bay to see my dad's worried/horrified face at the front/side bit of the car. kinda freaked out thinking i had dented it unknowingly. but it was because the tyre was flat. when we got home dad checked it and it had a nail in it... [PHEW it was the day my parents got back and not while i was driving home from uni at 2am haha]
anyways. parents are back. YAY for homecooked meals. and new shoes. and no more needing to feed the dog and water the plants. *hugs parents* you really learn to appreciate them when they're not around and you have to fend for yourself.

♥ amber means slow down
today my lovely father made it a point
to inform me that when the big yellow sign with the two amber lights flicker...
it means you gotta slow down because it's going to go red soon.
like.. you know. because i just might not have ever known that... as i've only had my licence for five and a half months...
i wasn't even in the driver's seat - so it's not like i was trying to speed through them...

p.s. red p-plates off in 10 days... however i have lost my green p-plates =/ should really find them soonish.

edit: let me just say that this post was purely sarcastic. as in I DO KNOW what those yellow light signs means... because SOME people *cough* have been laughing at me thinking that I really didn't know -.-" sigh..

♥ zeke & chatters
well i had my first babysitting thingo this week!
it was great :) zeke is SOOOOOOOOO cute. like i know most babies are cute, but he is just super cute.
and he's so easy to look after. he totally just slept the whole time without waking up. and before that he was quite fun to play around with, even though he kept falling over it was so cute x) he does the cutest things! he like walks to the corner of their kitchen and tips over the soft drink bottles. and then if you put them back up again, he'll go back and tip them over! ahaha, gosh i hope my baby will be as cute as he is :(
i even noticed on the kitchen bench that huy had bought grace tulips and that made me go NAWWWWWWWW. super cute!
i even noticed on the kitchen bench that huy had bought grace tulips and that made me go NAWWWWWWWW. super cute!
and i took dad out for dinner for his birthday (since i missed it while in sydney) and we went to chatters. that place has such nice decor, it's a great place for atmosphere. and the food is pretty good too.
my dad is quite awkward when it comes to conversations (my friends know, he always talks to ryeei about turning her dog into a hot dog lol) but it was nice. and didn't turn out too bad
how pretty is the desserts? one of the main reasons why i chose to go to chatters.
it was very tough to eat though! i even had trouble after i had asked for a knife!
it's been a good finish to these holidays i guess, except for the large amount of umat study i've had to do.
but lets hope it all pays off for next week :)

♥ the obstacle
i am continously faced with this obstacle in our relationship.
and that is, the (potential future) mother-in-law.
i know that i am not as smart and talented as your little boy.
in fact i know that you think that i'm not good enough for him. i don't think i am either.
but i try. i try to be nice, i try to be good, i try to get on your goodside.
but you will never remember all the times that i did something right... but rather you will remember those few times i did something wrong, when i made a mistake, when i was careless.
i will never be good enough for you. i understand that.
and now, now i feel like i don't care anymore. now, i feel like giving up. because you will always pick at my flaws. you always talk about me behind my back. you will always look down on me.
so why should i bother?
why should i keep trying? when you're not ever going to change.

♥ failure
you know. one of the worst feelings is knowing that you didn't make the cut. that you disappointed. that you're a failure.
i've already accepted the fact that i didn't get into medicine. both first time around and second.
when people ask me if i got in, i smile back and reply with a not yet. and it doesn't hurt saying that anymore. it doesn't hurt telling people that i'm still doing psychology, but i really want to get into med - i just haven't made the cut. having people ask, is just a reminder that people know how much i wanted it. and thats cool.
i've accepted it. i know i can't look back. i can only look foward.
some people think i'm 'great'. with so much 'potential'. youth of the year you know? what more could you ask for?
and i appreciate it when people say i have 'potential'. i appreciate it when they say that they think i'm 'great'. but i guess inside i just know that i wasn't 'great' enough to get in.
my parents have always had the biggest emotional impact on me. i've always had their expectations. and i always make my own expectations even higher than theirs. so when i do fall below their expectations - i am deeply cut, not only because i didn't meet theirs, but also because i fell short of my own.
i was so cut about not making interviews last year. although i showed very little emotion to my parents. inside i was just so heartbroken. how coukd i not be? it was everything i wanted. and to miss out a second time. it hurt.
and despite getting over it and moving on... every time my dad mentions how i failed the umat, like my life is joke, i am brought to tears.
he doesn't understand how much it hurt. it hurt me more than he could ever understand. it hurt me more than he realizes. and it hurts even more to be reminded of how much of a failure i am in my father's eyes.
he doesn't understand how hard it is. how hard it is for me. he complains about money, little does he realize that i paid for my own medentry course this year. and my own rego through acer.
all i need is support and encouragement. not a reminder that i am a failure. because i know that already. but it still hurts everytime the words come out of your mouth.
it's easy for josh to tell me to prove him wrong. for him to point out how much i haven't been practising umat or haven't been studying hard. to tell me to be stronger, and that what he says doesn't matter.
but do you have any idea how it feels to know your parents think you're a failure? and despite the many of you who will tell me that i am not... even if i believe you, it doesn't change what my parents see, and might i add - constantly remind me of.

♥ dt + green tea ice cream = a happy dt
green tea icecream
YUM!
i blame the girls for getting me into it..
but i found out the japanese restaurant in broadway sells it for $2.50 and it was really creamy hey.
and then the next day i went looking at kongs also in broadway, and they sell an italian version, which was really nice also for $2.50
and i remember last time i went with a few of the girls to that asian restaurant on the corner and got some there to.
eventually, i would have tried all the green tea available in broadway! that shall be my mission for the rest of the semester. should be pretttyyy easy :)
so anyways today i had my first maths test, and i really did a lot of practice questions in preparation, so i felt good with the amount of work i did. alas i did not study the theory aspect however.....
so i made that part up, but writing something is better than nothing (as long as what i wrote doesn't make me sound stupid =/...) so hopefully i still end up with a decent mark..
now i must admit, i am getting slightly stressed with my workload. and i feel sorta stupid about it, because at this point of my life, i am actually not doing that much (outside uni and work) in comparison to my high school days. so these stress levels are not what i would expect. i think it has to do with motivation, rather than just a time issue.
so it's mid semester break next week... and despite being a nice holiday for most, unfortunately that is not the case with myself =[...
it will consist of a lot of easter related events / church services, two lifegroups, two birthdays, quite a few days of work, yoty state finals, and of course studying for all my tests and doing all my assignments.
two tests (psyc & stats) and one assignment (stats) due the first week back, another assignment (psyc lab report) due the week after... not the mention more assignments and tests to finish the month of may.
SIGH.
oh and did i mention? my parents have departed on their little adventure... leaving me with my sister. and you might all be thinking that this is great and tthat i love it, but really when my parents are gone, my sister is just as (if not more) protective than my parents... GREAT!
and she always leaves me to do all the watering of dads plants, and feeding the dog and all that....... -.-"
anyways, i should stop procrastinating and complaining and do something useful.
sigh, could really do with some green tea icecream right about now...

♥ the pedi mate
product review
pedi mate : pedicure wonder with handle
so i've been working at reddot since i graduated from high school, and i remember when this 'pedi-mate' thing came out... it was very popular. we had every second customer asking me for it. and i remember always running out of stock...
i never really understood the hype concerning the pedi mate...
but the other day i saw my dad grab his metal filer (which he uses to grind sharp ends of metal) and use it on the BACK OF HIS HEEL
by metal filer, i mean something like this
so yes, after be traumatised by that particular event, i decided to invest in one of these pedi mate things, for the sake of my dad's feet.
i was working at reddot the following saturday, which was very handy. so when i went to the end with all the pedimates, i noticed they had three different types (i haven't worked at reddot in a while so this surprised me)
there was the handheld pedimate
and then there was the 18pc one
and then there was the one i bought.. which was the one with the handle..
anyways. my parents love it. haha. it's quite handy. and now i understand the craze that was behind it.
it was funny because i remember that we eventually got heaps of stock - and now there's still plenty left over.. and they're all like half the price they were originally selling for, because i think what the people forgot, when giving us stock, was that, you can only have so many pedi mates in one household...
oh, and i know that reddot's version is like the cheaper version of the real thing, but hey it does the same thing. and i see the exact same product at reddot being sold at myer for 6x the cost... how very dodgy.
that is all :)
i haven't caught onto the shamwow craze yet.

♥ the hunt for a black collared shirt
so on saturday vodafone messaged me (yes TEXT MESSAGED ME - i thought it was quite unprofessional, but josh seems to think otherwise) and asked me to start monday!
i asked her what i should wear and she replied saying black collared shirt, black skirt/pants, black shoes etc. and she specifically said NO STRIPES.
*chokes and dies*
a majority of my 'businessy' gear is striped, because i love pinstripe! but i did find a plain black skirt i bought quite a while ago... but all my collared shirts are white... so yes so made the decision to go shopping today (sunday) to hunt for a black shirt at harbor town!
dragged my boyfriend along. well not really dragged. but he came =) and was grumpy at first abt parking but cheered up after a while.
really weird, my body was still aching from a 1/2 hr walk i went on, on sat... T__T which is quite sad, and reflects how unfit i am!
anyways found one in the end, and might i add, how DIFFICULT it is to find a PLAIN black collared shirt.. i even dropped by the city and still went for a look around and didn't see anything. they were all white or white with stripes or black with stripes... but no plain black =[
while dropping by myer i also picked up a shoulder bag. not like a school bag, more of a casual sorta sling thing. which is good because handbags are starting to get to me a little.
oh and mum gave me some stuff she bought in melb. it's quite funny how she went all the way to melb, but she bought me stuff from tempt. ahaha. oh wells. it's not like she ever walked into there while here in perth.
anyways thats it for now. my body aches.
P.S. my sister bought that emotional intelligence book they were talking about in psychology!!! i will have to read it after she does =D i heard its a really good book. and she said that her lecturer mentioned it too.

♥ my sunday
disclaimer / warning: super longggg blog entry.
i kinda hoped after two days i would stop crying about it, but when i bumped into pastor at church and he asked me if i was going back to tbc ministry and also where i've been lately, and i told him how i was in ballarat and came back sick... and then i told him i didn't get into med and yes.
grace joined in after. and gave me a hug. which was good, because pastors aren't for hugging. because that's just... awkward.
Pastor told me that if i honor the things of God, that He will honor me. that's been stuck in my mind all day.
he also told me that in the future i will look back and see how things worked out and stuff
i don't know. i guess i'm a bit confused.
grace said it was okay to be angry with God. but i'm not angry (well, yet) i'm more disappointed and confused.
you see, my boyfriend, his mother, my exbf, all sorta asked if i was going to change my goals/course. josh said something like seeking what God wants in my life, if it's something other than med. but I've always believed that IS what He wants. and what I want too! And why i'm going the long way about it, I do not know why. But there's a reason i guess, i just don't know what it is.
people like my parents, my sister, jfu... were different. they already know how much i want it. and talked abt next year, or postgrad etc. they didn't question whether i was giving up because they didn't believe i would.
don't get me wrong, i still need to seek God about my future. like pastor told me, i need to rest in Him. i need to listen.
i'm continously reminded of this section in Dreaming With God (yes mic, i did read some of it!) where ... hmm, its prob best if i directly quote.
The Blank Check
As kids, many of us dreamed about being granted one wish. Solomon got the "one wish." When God appeared to Solomon and gave him that opportunity, it forever raised the bar of our expectations in prayer. The disciples were given the same "wish," only better. Instead of one blank check, they were given an unlimited supply of blank checks. And this gift was specifically granted in the context of their friendship with God.
Surrounding their promotion to friendship, Jesus gave His disciples this amazing list of promises. Each promise was a blank check they were to live by and use throughout their lives for the expansion of the Kingdom. They are as follows:
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you (John 15 vs 7)
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15 vs 16)
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it (John 14 vs 14)
And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full (John 16 vs 23-24)
For us to properly receive what Jesus has offered us in these verses, any robotic understanding of what it means to be a follower of God has to change. God never intended that the believer be a puppet on a string. God actually makes Himself vulnerable to the desires of His people. In fact, it can be said, "if it matters to you, it matters to Him"
While much of the Church is waiting for the next word from God, He is waiting to hear the dream of His people. He longs for us to take our role, not because He needs us, but beause He loves us.
i've always been the kinda girl who has her whole life planned out. Married at 25. First kid at 28. And hopefully another two after that, in 3 year intervals (haha, i know, i'm a freak). At the way things are looking, i won't even be graduated when i'm 25. i remember telling my lifegroup once, how it was so difficult for me, when i first found out that i didn't get into med the first time. how things weren't going the way i had planned. how much of a struggle it was to adjust and get use to the fact that things don't always go how u hoped / planned.
thats why when pastor was talking about how you can seek God for the answers for everything, except when ur asked how many kids they want, you can straight out tell you. it made me laugh, and reminds me so much of myself.
Oh yeah, i held lil zeke today! 2nd time EVER because everyone always steals him =[ and he didn't cry! ZMGSH first time he hasn't when i've held him =P. too bad i had to go cauz nat was taking me back =[ but arghhhhhh!!!!!!!! ♡♡♡ BABIESSS
On other news, i went to my bf's hse for lunch. and sigh, idk, i'm feeling more and more uncomfortable around his family. like sometimes his mum doesn't think i understand what she's saying when she speaks chinese =[ but i do get bits of it, or at least the gist of it.
so like she kept asking me try to chilli and i kept saying that i was fine. she knows i can't take chilli. and she was like 'it's not hot blahblah'... and then i think josh told her to stop asking or something (in chinese) and she was like saying back to him (in chinese) something like ~ what? so she's not going to eat it for the rest of her life?.................
and then she found out i couldn't swim and told me to go join adult vacswim classes (like actually told me in english!) .........................
she even told josh (in chinese) i eat like a kid because my plate was so 'far away' from me.................
she makes me feel really stupid.
maybe she's trying to joke half the time, but okay, i get it, i suck, and ur son is awesome, because i can't speak chinese, eat chilli / hot stuff, play an instrument / piano, can't swim, and i can't get into med... and he can do all those things and more.... -.-"
sigh, i am tryingggggggggggg to give her a break. josh always tells me to not let me preconcieved ideas affect how i see her. but you know, its pretty difficult... i don't really agree with a lot of her ideas on education and stuff. but yeah i don't say anything, of course. but i fear conflict when we get married and have kids.
it's okay. mother in laws are meant to be difficult right? but she's not even my mother in law yet!
ahh, the difficulties of dating the first born son of an asian family. i think i shall just avoid his parents for a while. because tbh, it just makes me feel inadequate and fustrated =[
Went for familyy dinner tonight. Peking duck (yum!) + Fried squid tenticles + Seafood Ho Fun with Egg Sauce.
I think my sister is feeling slightly guilty because this morning she found out i broke the glass cup in the bathroom and told me how she wouldn't trust me with her things let alone someone's life as a doctor. And i was like "well it doesn't matter because i didn't get in anyways" and she was something like "yeah but you break everything" and i was like "well i've still got a while to learn to be more careful" then 5 minutes later she was like "oh did you mean you didn't get in for next year?!" and i was like "yeahhh". ahaha, so in the car she was talking to me about it and at dinner she said she wants to take me to some new tea place she found to 'cheer me up'.
I forgot to take my breakfast this morning. Yes, my mum makes me breakfast (even on sundays) and leaves them in the oven. Must be more aware and remember to take it, because she puts in the effort every morning =[. sometimes i don't even eat the lunch she makes =[, and she wakes up early to make it. sigh. i'm so bad.
i love my family.
i love my friends.
i love my boyfriend.
i love God!

she made me breakfast today. my favourite. bacon and eggs.
this is a 600mL bottle of coke.
that i bought on my flight to ballarat for zonta. it was $4.50 at the airport. i didn't know until i was already at the counter paying for it. and i never wanted to drink it. because it was so jippy so it's just been sitting in the fridge. but today i finished it.
note to self: claim that free coke zero i won at uni.
off i go to workkkkkk~

♥ asia cocktail
this weekend is proving to be very busy =) but i shall present each event one by one.
asia cocktail
friday, 18th september 2oo9
@ metro city
my first time to metros, and i must say, i like it much better than the leedy. lol. it might be the fact that i was surrounded by asian people my age (some of which i knew, or at least knew of), rather than random 25yo + males trying to dance with you.
*shiver*
i think its hilarious how guys try to pick up at clubs. there was this one guy who just would bump into girls and introduce himself, shake their hand and then ask for their number. according to christine, she's seen him doing it the last time she came to metros.
and then there were the other guys who attempt to discreetly (sometimes not even discreetly) try to dance with you... it was quite entertaining being really cold to them and just staring at them with this look that screams ' get away from me you freak '
anyways, camera roll time.
my shoes which i bought fri morn x)
steph was right when she warned me not to wear white shoes, because they get trampled on!
dinner at pancakes & grill, nb
half the groupie that came for dinner
every outing needs a classic bathroom mirror picture
with the girls, at the entrance to metros
christineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
chem partnersssss x)
gabriel and christine from uni, they're great fun :)
some of the "entertainment" of the night. at first it was pretty cool, when they were like hanging upside down on the hole without using their hands. then... it just sorta got boring....
linda, tanya, me, christine, gabriel i think this was on the dancefloor, before it got overcrowded.
this was around.... 11:20pm. it was SO MUCH WORSE at 12:15pm. i almost suffocated on that dancefloor.
anyways, i was a good girl, left the place at 12:30pm :)
and no i did not get drunk and no i am not a party animal, and i really doubt i will become one either...
dancing was fun! feet hurting like crap wasn't.
i kinda dont know what i would have done if christine and gab weren't there x) it might have been awkward cauz most of the girls had their bfs there... except me! *COUGH stares at my bf COUGH*
=) jokes. i had fun without him.
and my parents were pretty cool about it. they trust me i think. mum has said several times "its okay because i know you won't go pick up bad boys there because you have josh" ... ahaha x) and she was like warning me abt drugs and getting drunk and all these other things thats 'associated with clubbing', haha. it was kinda funny.
that is all. for now. toodles.

i think its hilarious how guys try to pick up at clubs. there was this one guy who just would bump into girls and introduce himself, shake their hand and then ask for their number. according to christine, she's seen him doing it the last time she came to metros.
and then there were the other guys who attempt to discreetly (sometimes not even discreetly) try to dance with you... it was quite entertaining being really cold to them and just staring at them with this look that screams ' get away from me you freak '
anyways, camera roll time.
my shoes which i bought fri morn x)steph was right when she warned me not to wear white shoes, because they get trampled on!
dinner at pancakes & grill, nb
half the groupie that came for dinner
every outing needs a classic bathroom mirror picture
with the girls, at the entrance to metros
christineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
chem partnersssss x)
gabriel and christine from uni, they're great fun :)
some of the "entertainment" of the night. at first it was pretty cool, when they were like hanging upside down on the hole without using their hands. then... it just sorta got boring....
linda, tanya, me, christine, gabriel i think this was on the dancefloor, before it got overcrowded.
this was around.... 11:20pm. it was SO MUCH WORSE at 12:15pm. i almost suffocated on that dancefloor.anyways, i was a good girl, left the place at 12:30pm :)
and no i did not get drunk and no i am not a party animal, and i really doubt i will become one either...
dancing was fun! feet hurting like crap wasn't.
i kinda dont know what i would have done if christine and gab weren't there x) it might have been awkward cauz most of the girls had their bfs there... except me! *COUGH stares at my bf COUGH*
=) jokes. i had fun without him.
and my parents were pretty cool about it. they trust me i think. mum has said several times "its okay because i know you won't go pick up bad boys there because you have josh" ... ahaha x) and she was like warning me abt drugs and getting drunk and all these other things thats 'associated with clubbing', haha. it was kinda funny.
that is all. for now. toodles.

♥ nutino < nutella
don't be fooled by its fancy name and "product of italy" label and furry cute animal mascot...this tastes like crap. okay not like crap. but not very good!
when mum brought this home instead of my usual nutella i was like OooOOo fancy expecting a nice taste. and then tasted it, and it was very sweet... and i very much miss my usual nutella.
now i have to finish it before i get another tub of real nutella =[

♥ corn flakes
corn flakes in white milk with banana...
(or strawberry)
when i was younger i never ate breakfast. as i got older, my mum use to make it for me, in a mug if it was cereal or in a paper bag if it was bread... so i could eat it in the car.
i never really woke up in time for brekky. i never really sat down and ate a bowl of cereal.
well today i did. i woke up around 11. and ate my bowl of cereal around 12. okay, so it's more of a brunch. but oh wells. yum!

♥ random thoughts
- i don't like it when he wants me to look a certain way. i've accepted the way he dresses, and he should do the same for me. plus i dont even think i'm that bad =(
- i don't like it when he watches movies until late at night, and i end up staying up just waiting for him, then end up sleeping really late.
- it makes me cry when i hear the pastor telling the their fathers to use the oil to annoint their children tonight... knowing that my father won't be doing that for me.
- but i can pray that one day he will... and that my future husband will walk in the truth of God's love and grace... alongside me.
- i wish i was stronger.
- today i was challenged to pray for my sister, not just by myself, but actually pray over her, with her. the difficulty of that is very great. for those who know how much my sister and i get along. my faith will be tested.
- it feels good when he actually acknowledges how i look. it shows he takes notice.
- he messaged my dad happy fathers day via sms...... before i even woke up and had the chance to say it to him first.
- i am blessed to have a mother, who despite her circumstances, remains full of faith and love.
- mum annointed us with the oil after lunch.
- she's also told me she was going to do it again tonight for my sister and her ear infection. i think God knew i was scared/nervous >.<>
- today i also shook my bf's parents hands. when i think abt it, its kinda weird. i shake hands with official people at competitions and stuff. not really my friends parents, let alone my bf's parents. i like how i make him hug my mum when she gives him stuff. my mum's a kinda huggy person, or has become so over the past few yrs, it makes our family more closer i reckon. will have to say something when she gives him the chinese chess set, so that they hug again. hehe.
- i am still deciding if i should alter all my jeans. i think so far, definitely my flares, bootleg and those pair of wide pants (because u can't really wear them otherwise). but for the skinnys....... they're just going to remain inside my boots, and for my straights, i want to be able to wear them with both heels and flats... hence shortening them would still mean i would have to fold them in/up for flats.
- i washed the dishes. and am in the process of taking in my clothes. geez i am being a good daughter today, better appreciate it while it lasts mum/dad!
- gonna get into some chemistry today. had lots of fun the past two days. but its time to hit the books. chem midsem in a week!
- not having my dad going to church, really makes me want a husband who i know won't go down that path. but then again, i'm sure my mother didn't foresee it when she was getting married.
- i need to start praying for him more consistently.

♥ in just one day...
1. i had planned to wake up and study in the morning, (which meant skipping my 10am psyc lecture) before heading to uni (in time for my 1pm, lab)... but instead i woke up at 10:40pm. ugh. if my parents were here, my mum would have called me to wake me up haha.
2. i was absolutely freaking out because it would take over an hour to get to uni - not to mention things weren't going to plan. i got ready in 20minutes, even made myself a sandwhich (dude, i havent made my own sandwhich for lunch in years, i heart my mum) and made my long walk to the bus stop.
3. i stopped by mcdonalds. i needed comfort food. large fries and apple pie it was. $3.75 all up. bargain. bad for the heart though (which ironically was partly what my test was on)
4. i ended up 'studying' on the bus. somewhat productive but not ideal strategy for cramming. sigh i was really freaking out.
5. bumped into my bf on the way to my lab. he was digging into some chips and gravey. made me feel less guilty about my mcdonalds splurge
6. had my test on locomotion and cardiovascular system. easier than i was expecting. praise God!
7. lab on urinary system. ugh, was so unprepared. will need to catch up on that stuff.
8. chem lecture. alcohols... E1/E2 and SN1/SN2 reactions. yay...
9. bus'd it back to nathans house.
10. took funny pictures on his webcam. played basketball. but after a while i got tired and sat on the swing while he played. there was also this dog there that i played ball with.
11. sma dinner. food was pretty good. nice mix of dishes. but in only really liked a few out of the ones they had.
12. met some new people. friendly. and cool.
13. caught up with some people i haven't seen in years (like literally.. years!)
14. heard a great testimony from a doctor who was pronounced dead for over an hour and miraculously came back to life.
15. good chat on the drive home with the legendary pbvn
anyways. God is awesome.
and it's 2am and i should sleep =) yay for uni at 9am! not.

♥ who am i
You know how you get those quiz things. and people get to describe you in three words....
or maybe those pictures on facebook, that you can tag people as different personalities or descriptions...
or maybe just those simple birthday cards, where people describe and compliment you.
in year five or six, i got the champagne award. for my bubbly personality.
my year twelve calculus teacher once called me a perfectionist.
i've had people describe me as cheerful, motivated, bright, smart, passionate, confident, independent, daring, loud, friendly, compassionate.
but who i am i now?
those descriptions of me. were they truely who i was, or simply the impression i gave off - what i let people believe. more importantly... do they still define who i am?
so how do i see myself now. very different to be honest. i think my posts are getting a bit repetitive.
so let me cut to the chase.
people change. it's amazing how a mother doesn't get to choose their child. and no matter how much that child changes. a mother will still love her child.
it's amazing how God can love His children, despite how much they may reject Him... how much their relationship with Him changes.
unconditional love is beautiful.
but how about if we take a few step down, and talk about friendships.
you befriend someone because maybe you get along, you share common interests, you like the qualities that the person has. and if that person changes? i guess things might change. you become distant, maybe u distance urself from them, or vice versa - or maybe neither, your lives just go in different directions by itself.
lets take back up.
God chooses to still love us, despite us being sinners.
A mother chooses to still love their child, despite the rejection her child gives her.
A friend chooses to still hold onto that friendship, despite no longer having the common interests and qualities that were once there.
A boyfriend chooses to still love his girlfriend, despite her no longer having those qualities that made him fall in love with her.
At the moment I see myself, as much as i hate to admit it, as attachy, emotional and edgey.
But I can't help how i feel. I can hide it - that's not a problem. and if i chose to do so, then maybe i would be more like i use to be. But where's the truth in that. How is that being honest about my feelings.
I'm quite a wrek at the moment. A lot of things have been getting to me. And when questioned why or how things upset me, I dont even know the answer. I dont get how things that would have hardly bother me a year ago, can impact me so much now. How, if a year ago i had heard of someone else reacting the way i do now, i would have seen them as silly, immature and maybe even stupid.
and really, thats how i feel i am at the moment.
