♥ exhaustion
i couldn't get up this morning. so i skipped my two uni lectures and opted to sleep in. i knew it was going to be a full on week but i thought i could handlle it.
SMA dinner tuesday night. the place was really pretty, cept it was so cold and it was outdoors!
the food was meh-ish, and i was pretty tired and grumpy tbh =/
but it was good to see my boyfriend's presentation thingo. if i think about it, i don't see him talk in front of an audience like... ever =/
on other news i got a haircut.
before
and after
doesn't look that different huh? but its so much lighter haha like i was washing my hair yesterday and there was hardly anything to wash! so yes i went to top image again (instead of k3g) because they open at 9am xD and the lady there is pretty nice... so i asked her to do something different (but not too extreme because i'm too scared lol) so she said my hair was flat :( so she was going to add volume with short layers. but yeah she made it look good when she blowdried it... the only problem is today... =X i don't know how to make it look the same bahaha.
also went for dimsum yesterday with the boyare girls! varn's going to china for a year! bahaha she's so funny, like complaining about the street ally in northbridge... when she's going to china...... eRrr...... lol
finally got a photo with the artwork outside mums office without looking awkward xD
anyways, quite a relaxing morning to get some energy back into me... sighh... work soooooooon.

♥ God loves his daughters
THREE down, two to go...
hbio was okay.. could have been better. i don't think i did as well as i needed to do... but it was alright.
chemistry is tomorrow. and to be honest that is the most feared one *burn burn burn*
anyways. dropped by the chinese shop today and picked up some study snacks :)
i think it was ry or her mum who showed me you could get seaweed crackers from the chinese shop.. LOVE. i first tried them when miyako's mum sent us some from japan!!!
hawflakes. always been a fav since childhood.
anyways. nathan from sma gave me two books today. i exchanged it for my Dreaming With God book (which i still haven't finished reading, but plan on borrowing from someone from church *cough* so i can these holidays...) so he could read it.
these are the two books he gave me.
and well, you see.. during sma we (or should i say i) got into a heated debate on the topic of women. women's role in the church. women's role in a marriage...
and not to say i'm a feminist (even though some people think so) but i really disagreed with much of what he had to say. after discussing such issues with my pastor and some of the female leaders in my church who gave me a better understanding of the context and their intepretations of the passages... i so totally agree with them, and not nathan, and i still stand by my view of women's roles in both the church and in a marriage...
but you know. i must be more... open. you see when i first heard all these things that nathan was saying, it got me really angry. like how can people STILL think like that in today's society?! women have rights too! God loves females as much as He loves males!
But yes. Even though i think i'm right, it needs to be assessed on a more objective level. And i must not be so one sided or else everything i look at will support my hypothesis - confirmation bias.
anyways. first impressions of this book. i'm a bit iffy about them. just by the TITLES and the COVER. but yes. must not judge a book by it's cover. and will get into them once exams are over. and attempt to look at it objectively.
anyways. here are the major points that nathan and bev brought up from their intepretation of the passages... which i disagree with and will examine in context with the help of my pastor, leaders and of course, God.
* note: the following statements might get you angry. because they got me angry. but yes... i will be coming back at a later date (after some epic research and lotsa prayer) to shed some light on what i think is actually the right intepretation.. because i really don't think they've got it right =/ *
- women should not have authority over men in the church. includes pastoring, leadership etc.
- women are more succeptible to sin
- women are the spiritually weaker partner in a relationship
- some people are pre-destined to hell
- you can't change God's will
- the theory of Kelvinism
- that verse that talks about "submission"
okay, that's it for now.
it's time for home and away... :)

♥ the orange squinting bf
after a chat last night, i'm glad things are getting somewhat becoming normal again.
and yes, becoming.
i had forgiven him on that monday. forgiveness wasn't the problem... it was just being able to let go and move on.
the next thirty eight days will still be different. it will definately be back to basics. simplicity i should hope. reminds me of nearly a year ago, when things were still so new.
a focus on the other parts of our lives, and not so much ignoring, forgetting and trying to let go of each other.
oh another note. engaged in a very insightful conversation with pastor today about all those controversies that got me very heated up during sma. must write an email to bev/nathan about it after exams...
found myself scrambling through my bible during worship today. it was good. words, verses... kept popping up in my mind.
haha. josh was in the paper today. squinty eyes much xD? ahaha reminds me again of last year when i was flicking through his fb and his eyes were closed in like every picture x)
my sister waas like.. "why is he wearing orange? why is he squinting? he looks like a pokemon"
anyways. i remember him coming back from that applic exam and complaining to me about it. ppfttt.
i do however think that shirt is more pinkish than orange?
it's okay. i still love my squinting eyed boyfriend =)

♥ my walk / sma 1st yr dinner
yesterday i walked home from work..
it was around a 40 minute walk. i was a bit unhappy about it at first, parents were at a festival (which they didnt tell me abt til that day. and sister was out). but i lightened up after i took some time out to just look around at my surroundings and absorb the sunshine and air.
well... that definately was my 30 minutes of exercise for the day... or should i say week.... or even month.
just came back from sma first year dinner, it was really casual and laid back, and we just watched a movie and ate. and even though there weren't many of us, i liked it :) the movie was pretty good too. cept josh kept telling me off for asking questions / saying stuff - oh dear, thats what i do to my mother - tell her off. like mother like daughter eh. he better get use to it =P

♥ 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.
