Back from cell retreat and it was AWESOME! There's really no reason to hate my cell. And I'm not going to post all my pictures here because it's going to take forever and I'm too lazy to do so. And anyway, for anyone who actually knows and reads my blog (from cell), please send me the pictures to my email. Thanks!!
After the much needed rest and play (which I really had a lot), I really have to start studying now. Haha.
Apparently it's 8 days till the start of daylight savings. And you know what that means, I won't be as contactable anymore (to those in Singapore) I guess I could stay up if I wanted to, but on the other hand, I should really be studying since it's so close to exams. So we'll just see how eh.
SO.. If you want me to call you, it had better be soon. Because once I'm 3 hours ahead again, I may be too lazy to call. Haha.
Anyway, I'll be off for cell retreat tomorrow. That's going to be super exciting, I can't wait!! Apparently there's a 'committee' and I'm in second-in-charge. Hmmm.. That's so strange, since I haven't done anything except offer manual labour this morning. And I don't think I'll be doing anything there as well, so oh well, I just get a cool title. HAHA. Hopefully Yen never reads this. Then again, I doubt he knows my blog. But in case, HI YEN! Remember to tag. Haha.
Ok I shall go out and enjoy the weather before I come back to hit the books. Sigh. If only there wasn't any exams. Melbourne would be even more fun. Haha.
We're not two and a half men, we're three and a half girls :D
Great weather + good food + AWESOME company = A whole day of fun!! (with many many pictures)
YAY! We finally had our picnic! The weather was really good today. The sun was up, the cloudless sky was blue. We first went to some gardens (which I totally forgot the name) and ate and played cards and took many photos. Then we decided to go to St Kilda's where we took more photos and just hung out. I thought I took too many photos of myself. Jinli and Aiwee were there to prove that I was normal. Haha. And sadly, my camera battery died on me when we at the beach. JINLI AND AIWEE SEND ME ALL THE PHOTOS PLEASEEEEE!!!
Mush isn't very good at taking jumping shots. We jumped so many times and barely got a nice shot of us in the air.
Anyway, that's not important. The important thing is that today was really fun and we should totally do this again some day.
OHHH!!! And this is super funny.
Jinli(singing): The hills are alive..... (from the show Sound of Music) Mush: RUN!!
#1 - my LTC cell #2 - people from my cell that was present at the last day of LTC retreat
LTC ended just yesterday and it has been a wonderful experience. And I don't know how to describe whatever else is on my mind, so I shall just leave it as that.
Now I'm just waiting for cell retreat!! Oh exciting!!
YAY! Trials are over!!!!! well for me that is. And it's really by God's grace that I managed to complete each paper. I felt totally unprepared for both accounting and psychology but I actually finished both of them with time to spare, with answers that I think is quite ok. Yup. Praise be to God that I got through the whole trials. I really want to thank Him for helping me through every paper and giving me the clarity of mind. I never felt so good after an exam. Haha. Praise the Lord.
Ok that's all I have for now. Two weeks holidays here I come! Haha.
Oh I really don't like having accounting and psychology exam on the same day, whether it's now or during the actual thing. Psychology, something I really enjoy. And accounting, something that really requires my time.
But since psychology is counted tomorrow, I guess it'll get more attention tonight. (I'm secretly screaming yay!!)
Anyway, methods today was good I guess. Considering that I didn't feel a bit prepared last night. It's really all by God's grace. And I know it's going to be by His grace that I'll get through tomorrow. And after that, FREEDOM! Well, at least for the week.
Ok I'm just trying to procrastinate. Which is such an irony, because all I want now is time and when there's time for me to study, I rather not. But my head is so tired. How am I going to remember so many things. I need to make so many things meaningful if not they won't go into my LTM!
Gahh. Stress!!! Ok enough time wasted. I shall study. Maybe I should sleep early, wake up early and study in the morning. That way I'll feel more refreshed right?? But then again, what to study in the morning. Accounting or psych? Accounting is the first paper, but psychology is more important in every aspect. HAHA
CRAP!! I realised I haven't started on research methods yet. DIEEEEEE
Further Maths today was AWESOME! It's really by God's grace that I enjoyed it so much, even though there were some questions I resulted to guessing.
In between paper 1 and 2, Jinli and I went to MC and she said the funniest thing. We were looking at the puppies, so there were like 3 glass surrounding it for us to see. Jinli: I wonder if they can see us Me: Of course lah. You think they blind ah Jinli: No I mean, do you think like the glass is the sort that we can see from outside but they cannot see from the inside I walked to the opposite of Jinli Me: Hello.. You can see me right?
ok it doesn't sound so funny when I type it here. But it was really funny then. Okok and just now. Like just just, I was at Mush's room and like before I left this convo took place. Me: Eh, I'm going to take your towel Mush rushes over Mush: Shoo lah Me: Just lend it to me for 5 mins. Ok I shall skip all those Me: Come on, just lend me one of those for 5 mins Mush: Ok I'll lend you my air And she just opened her mouth, tiptoed and blew hair into my face. GOSH MUSH!
Haha. Ok once again that didn't sound funny when I typed it. Darn it. But oh well, I can just find it funny on my own.
Ok now back to studying.. I can't wait for Wednesday to be over!
Oh and this a video of Tyron, the chef. HAHA! He thinks that Singaporeans end the sentences by singing. So this is how he speaks to us. haha
One thing I really love about Melbourne is that it has 4 seasons. It would have been a bit more ideal if it snowed (in this context), but it doesn't matter, because it's already the 13th day of my favourite season. SPRING!!!
However I must say, the temperature change was rather drastic. Maybe it's because I'm in Melbourne. But that's not the point. I always had this image that spring was a very colourful season and a very happy one as well. And it's really pleasing to see the leaves 'springing' out and stuff. Really really beautiful. I realised I've really grown to love nature more and more.
Speaking of seasons. We had the girls/guys night for OCF yesterday and the theme for the girls' side was "in every season". It was really fun and the whole planning really taught me a lot. Yup. The food and deco was AWESOME! I'm not saying that because I'm in charge of that aspect. Because to be honest, I didn't really contribute much except manual labour. Haha. But yeah, I had to say that yesterday was really really fun and I'm glad that I had the chance to be a part of it. Yup.
Anyway, I led BS today in LTC and I must say it was rather exciting? I was really nervous and I'm really grateful that my cell group responds, and that Jon was leading with me, and last but not least, for the facilitators. I really won't know what I would have done without them.
Oh and trial exams have started. And it'll end on Wednesday. Well for me that is. Haha. Yupp. I'm so sad the weekend is almost over. I really enjoyed it, even English trials. But oh well. Next two weekends will be AWESOME!!!
Ohh I can't wait. Oh and I think we should have a picnic, since the weather is so nice..
Look!! Leaves coming out already! (you can compare this to the previous post) Haha. I must seem so free to be able to take these photos.
Ever since coming to Melbourne, I've learned to appreciate the presence of the sun and clear blue skies. Also, I have found great pleasure in just admiring the trees, seeing them change from season to season. From a tree full of leaves to just a bare tree, it's really beautiful. And it struck me, if a tree is so carefully designed, each unique, what more us?
Psalms 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Something to think about and a chance to thank God for carefully designing each of us, to be unique and precious in His eyes :)
Homecell was AWESOME! Well technically it's not really homecell since we didn't have it at someone's home but basically it was really really fun. A good time of fellowship, food and games. And a lot of laughs.
Guess wearing the colours of our national flag is not all that bad. I survived in shorts! Ok now I have to bathe and reply Joanne's email! haha.
What can I say, I really love my cell group. (Too bad not everyone came today) (taken at Jeremy's birthday)
It was so unproductive today. OH NO! I cannot continue like this. How am I going to get into Melbourne Uni like that. And to top that off, what Jinli said about the top 20 is really scaring me. She was saying how the top top few had about 97 plus plus and the bottom 20 was about 93? And my enter 85. Which means I have to score higher than that. And goshh. Me stressed and don't seem to be doing anything about it. Sighh.
Ok, from tonight onwards, I shall not be as contactable as before and I shall remain focused on my work. YES!
I like even week Wednesdays, since I only have 2 lessons (of which both are really slack) and I end at 2. That gives me so much time to do a lot of things. And today, we went shopping. (There was some 'sale' thingy from 5-9pm)
#1 - Aiwee
#2 - Secretly, Mush enjoys the attention
#3 - My hair after I removed the tiny braids
#4 - The design of my new tee. =)
And I also bought a memory card reader. For some reason my other one just vanished into thin air. So yes, I'm finally able to upload photos. And one thing I learnt today, Big W has EVERYTHING!
