played a little bit of bball today with jaja and got my face smashed with a ball. >< how embarassing! nothing too bad, just a little bit of a split lip that didn't really show up till on the ride back home on the train.

think i just wasn't into it this afternoon, just tired, which is weird since i had a good night's rest the night before. but i got home and slept like a baby from 5-9pm. i'm now eating my dinner as i speak.

anyhow, i love my new molecular cell biology class! got a whole lot of my old microbio classmates and the course convenors are fantastic, john wilson and louise lutze-mann. louise reminds me of mrs corby from olmc for some odd reason. XD can't wait for the first prac, get to dabble with human cancer cells! yay!

anywayy, i'm off to start on some assignmenting. ciaoo~

left my labcoat at home today and started panic-smsing science students i knew to see if they had a lab today and whether their labcoat was free from 2-5pm. XD

anyway, today was the second time i chanced on zaky. think i'll be seeing more of his face around uni, esp since i'm always in upper campus and lounging on the library lawn nowadays. loving the weather today. sat out at the library lawn with jacqui for 2 hours just sun-baking.



jacqui: "you know it looks as if someone just pasted the unsw library building onto a plain blue canvas."



oh and i think i owe some pictures from the last time my family went out for korean bbq. bassim was awesome! cept the pricetag + the excessive smokiness. which explains the smokiness seen in some of the pictures












oh yes, and this sketch is jordan's sketch of us three sisters in halo gear! XD

can i just say, i loved what i wore to uni today. XD i need more boyfriend shirts + skinnies combos! too bad i only stayed in uni for an hour and a bit more.

28.o7.o8
-caught the bus with that chinese class friend of will's, who really caught my eye with his daring getup. blond hair, styled like gackt, tight jeans and fur jacket. but like, zomg. WAII~ XD if i'm into that kinda harajuku style. but i applaud his attempts.

(if you're wondering, no i did not talk to him, cos i only realised it was him when i was already standing at the back of the bus and he was in the front of the bus standing with 5 ppl in between us. XD)

-got to have my first japanese lecture, with tiff, linda, kevin, ivy and james. :)) japanese is gonna be a challenge this semester but i'm gonna give it my best. GANBATTE!

-met up with nami (went along with tiff) to give her her bday present. nami's bday today! tanjoubi omedetou! ^^ spent some time with her in the roundhouse.

# other random happenings:
# bumped into diep rushing around like the hare in alice in wonderland
# bumped into sam zaky! imagine that! glad to see that he's doing good and in unsw too! another person to look forward to uni for. :))

(oh yea, do you know all you guys in uni are what i look forward to uni for? ^^ that's one of the main reasons i go to uni for. all of you. :DDD)

(EDIT: save for a few. which, hmm, let's just say i could do without meeting... x) man i'm such a bitch)

oo5. What's your ideal lover like?
the one who loves me unconditionally (and likewise i'd promise to do the same to him).

the one who would love God more than me (because it's only in his love for God that he'll love me).

tagging whoever read through all that junk XD

called in sick at work today cos i had an allergic reaction to some moisturiser i tried this morning, made me look like some over-ripe tomato. ><

anyway, i cleared off most of my inbox this afternoon and i found so many memories (amongst the spam -_-").

to ning babe i found our old emails! ahah! i really thank God that you've been there for me all this time, writing both snails and emails. =) it's weird looking back and reading my own words, so raw and so bitter.

to cedric i doubt you'll even read this, but i found our old emails. where's cedric now aye? how apt. :) do hope you make contact soon some day, i wanna hear from you again.

hmm, summertime thoughts...

you know how i've been going on about jervis bay and all that. i thought maybe i'll push my case of having a roadtrip down the coast with some of the pics we (me and my family) took last summer when we went down there. if you guys really do wanna go, we have to book quick, or else they'll not have any vacancies. then again, who am i to talk when i have like a few dollars in my savings. TT. *emo-es in corner*

our trusty old people mover/van loaded up with baggage and food. oh yea, it's BYO food and cook (just don't burn down the facilities that's all)

the outside of a cabin

and the inside of the cabin. it's pretty tiny. like one stride and you've moved from the living room to the kitchen!

breakfast. my mom's gonna kill me for this shot XD

on hyams beach. or was it chinaman's beach. don't remember... but all are pretty good. :)

a panorama of the beach.

our sand castle!

the whole family + uncle patrick and auntie serene

bbq pits are all around the cabins for free use, just bring a good supply of gold coins. and be ready to use your asian skills of claiming your own pit. or in worst case scenario, BYO bbq pit.

dinner! this was the standout dish, sambal tumis fish. *drools*

so it's just about the beginning of semester 2. i've decided a few things need to be done away with and some need to be taken aboard and applied into my life.

firstly,
1) be more organised!
i need to really start organising things around me better, rather than be sprung on the day before of a test and be reminded that i have a test the next day.

2) get a credit average
hopefully. God willing i will get this, since i'm doing subjects i actually like, so i should be alright. i think?

3) get my quiet time really going
i need to be reminded of His presence each day before i go out and do my thing.

4) be more dilligent in going to lecs
quite duh. unless i do this, i wouldn't get my credit average. i'm no whizz kid. reality check!

5) encourage ppl to come for bible study!
wednesdays 1-2pm! :) if you have no classes then, just give me a buzz!

6) open up more in classes
i need more friends XD loll, so despo, but like yea, i need to start becoming more interested in my subjects. rather than just sticking around the same ppl all the time.

7) be less addicted to my computer and ds
and really start doing the next numbered item below.

8) note-taking. f'real
yea. need this. definately

9) 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks. :)

10) don't even start thinking of getting a guy.
he'll just distract me from all the abovementioned. ><

i think that should be it. i might add some if i do think of something.

oh and this too

Happy 19th Birthday Jay!

got two wisdom teeth taken out of my mouth and now the right side of my mouth's sore. pretty good considering i was expecting the worst.

went for church camp last week and learnt much about serving the Lord because He has saved us. studied the book of romans.

sat that just passed, i spent with my girlies, lee, fee and dee. XD too bad my initial doesn't end with an "-ee". ♥♥ luvos to all my girls. =) pictures of our crazy day out at hurst + danni's + fee's are on facebook. i think they'll explain it better than my words here on the page. XD

off to watch skins. *waves*

i passed!!!! no more MATH1031! EVER *celebratory dance around the room*

made a castilla cake in celebratory fashion. actually, not really, i just made it just cos i felt like it XD but i've gotta wait till tmr to taste it, according to the recipe i followed which said to wait one day before cutting it up. though i think i might succumb to testing it tonight with some coffee...

anyway, my marks weren't that great, borderline. but meh, as long as i passed. i'm HAPPY x). thank god. =]

what's been happening to me the past few days of holidaying, hmm, went out to muli's bday thing on friday last week, went out lunch with shirley, bosco, zenan and jason on wednesday, and norita's after with the same ppl excluding jason and with the addition of keat and geoff (learnt how to play mahjong!), and the rest of the days so far i've been spending at home lazing around. since i have no money to go out. T.T

i'm in need of a holiday job man... actually, i might have one, see if i can make it to novo tmr morning with my resume. just hope they don't ask me to work next week cos i've got camp. >< actually, i don't know... since the holidays are gonna end soon and i'm gonna be back in uni 5 days a week... hmm...

i wanna get a summer vacation thing going with everyone, maybe plan a trip down to jervis bay for a few days, soak up some sun. =] tell me what you guys think, maybe we can start something.

i know man has hosted it up on her blog, but i provide the lyrics! and i seriously was moved with the viewing of this video. i miss this song, and i miss the moving of the Spirit from glorious singing as such. :)

in Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
this Cornerstone, this solid ground
firm through the fiercest drought and storm
what heights of Love what depths of peace
when fears are stilled when strivings cease
my Comforter, my All in All
here in the Love of Christ i stand

in Christ alone, who took on flesh
fullness of God in helpless babe
this gift of love, this righteousness
scorned by the ones He came to save
till on that cross as Jesus died,
the wrath of God was satisfied
for every sin on Him was laid
here in the death of Christ i live.

there in the ground, His body lay
light of the world by darkness slain
then bursting forth in glorious day
up from the grave He rose again
and as He stands in victory
sin's curse has lost its grip on me
for i am His, and He is mine
bought with the precious Blood of Christ

amazing grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
i once was lost but now am found
was blind but now i see...

no guilt in life, no fear in death
this is the power of Christ in me
from life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
no power of hell no scheme of man
can ever pluck me from His hand
till He returns or calls me home
here in the power of Christ i'll stand

when we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
we've no less days to sing God's praise
then when we've first begun

amazing grace
how sweet the sound
in Christ alone
my hope is found.

waii~ hey all! i just finished watching honey and clover (hachimitsu to kuroba) the live action series. and i totally fell in love with the nomiya x ayumi pairing. kashiwabara takashi is ♥ XD *fangirls*

nomiya rushes back from Totori from his assignment 9 hrs away from Tokyo to ayumi after hearing her cry on the phone

Nomiya: "大丈夫か?" are you alright?
Yamada: “野宮さん, 如何して?” nomiya, what are you doing here?
Nomiya: "泣いてたんでしょう? 電話きったはちょっと、　泣いてたんでしょう?..." [ i didn't catch the rest >.< ] you cried right? i heard a little just as you were about to hang up, you cried right? you tried to be strong and pretended nothing happened. that’s the reason why you hurt more than other people. i understand because you’re the only one i see. don’t cry alone anymore.

nomiya telling ayumi at the end that he doesn't mind that she's still into mayama and that she will prob take a while to get over him, instead...

Nomiya: “おれね、　あゆみちゃんのこと、　好き。...だから、　いっしょうにいよ。" I like you Ayumi-chan. Honestly, it’s painful for me to see you still struggling with your feelings for Mayama always, but that’s not the kind of problem you can solve on your own. So let’s stay together.

man i love this couple. ♥♥♥

oh and yes to everyone! 2nd chance at love is open for business! but i'll have to get more photos once vicki's out of school for holidays. *dance*
