Time to blog

18.02.09 Uni group fellowship at Richards
Last Wednesday a few of us uni students went to Richards place for some fellowship. Inevitably there was Guitar Hero, food, and heaps of laughter. I was lucky enough to get away from dinner without choking in laughter. A combination of Rosalie and Shirlaine talking plus Kevin and Sharon's smart comments lead to heaps and heaps of laughter. Their silly comments such as "IM SMART!" and many many more. After dinner Richard made a few people some coffees, his kitchen is awesome! It's got anything you want. A few people had Affogatos which is a shot of espresso coffee poured onto a few scoops of icecream served in a martini glass. After food we watched Ironman, it's quite a good film, except for the icky stuff (body internals, blood). We then tried to help clean up, then continued chatting and helped silly Rosalie edit her 2 page sms to a 1 page sms. HAHHAHA
kev: " why do you need 'LOVE ROSALIE?'"
rosalie:" because they might not know who it's from"
kev: "they've got your number"
rosalie: "well, well. i'm smart!"

other things such as
A group of us were talking about Guitar Hero, and it's newest version Guitar Hero world tour.
Shirlaine: "Why would you take a computer game on a world tour?"

These people just bring joy and laughter.

19.02.09- Bowling with the girls
It was an early morning when Linda and I met up with Wendy and Jessie at Boxhill for a short breakfast before heading to Chastone to go Bowling!
Linda is either great at bowling, or just had all the luck. She won both games by heaps!. Her games were filled with strikes and spares. It just looked so easy. We tried to use her ball, except it nearly tore my finger nail off, it was too heavy!
Afterwards, we just walked around for a bit before retiring back home.

For dinner the holiday buddies, Linda, Janson, Gabriel and myself met up at Rasa Malaya on a quest to recapture the old times. It was an enjoyable dinner. We ate Har mee, Mee Siam, some Malaysian cooked salad, and Chicken Rice. We also popped open some sparking wine to share between the 3 of us, (Gabriel didn't drink due to health reasons) Afterwards, we bumped into Lekphel waiting for Nat. Caught up with him, had a short chat before taking the tipsy Linda home.

20.02.09 - a day wasted
Woke up late, felt ill all day. The only thing i did was go to pick up Anna from work at 9:30

21.02.09- BBQ with Doc John and PP
Saturday began with the usual routine of taking Anna to Chinese school then breakfast with the remaining family at Boxhill. Groceries, then home.

Initially i was going to walk to Ruffey Lake, however Rosalie insisted to take me because she had no idea which side of Ruffey Lake we were all going to be at. Kenny&Glen organised a BBQ too at the same time, however i declined their invitation because i had already made commitments to attend the BBQ with church. When i got there, i made my way up to their BBQ area to say hi. I had the opportunity to catch up with many friends i hadn't seen for the entire Summer and also Anthony Chan/Tran someone i haven't had contact with since Grade 6. It was a pleasant reunion.
Dinner was nice, we had lamb, beef, sausages, and Hong Kong salad (something new I'd never heard of) . It was a pleasant dinner until the wasps decided to invade and the climate decreased as the sun was setting, so us being extremely Asian decided to move onto PP! (pancake parlour)
While there, we ordered 2 Super Sundaes, and yes they were HUGE. I must say us leaders are an extremely LOUD & CRAZY bunch. Sharon and i believe Kev or Brian drank the Sundae and Fudge after everyone had finished. It was entertaining, yet disgusting. The night ended soon as Doc John had a sermon to preach to us the next day, and we all needed to get to church by 10 anyway.

I think i shall finish here. This week is O week. I totally regret going today, it was not the most beneficial event, seeing that i spent 2 hours commuting on public transport -.-

Tomorrow is the Clubs promotion day. Let's hope it turns out to be more eventful than today.

Today's morning service consisted of a one minute silence for those who lost, be it loved ones, homes, or possessions. It was then followed by a powerful prayer which I thought I'd like to share with you all

For our losses, Today, Lord God, we join together with all Victorians,
and with all Australians, to pray for the victims of these tragic bushfires,
and for the families of those who perished.
We pray for the children who will go to bed tonight
without their mother or father.
We pray for the mums and dads
who have lost their precious children.
We pray for the husbands and wives who will return to towns reduced to tears and homes reduced to ash.
We pray for the families throughout our nation
who have lost those they dearly love.
We pray for those who survived but who suffer,
and who bear the memory of the fire.
We pray for the fire fighters, police officers,
ambulance officers, and emergency workers
who have served so well and toiled so long in such terrible conditions.
We pray for relief from pain, for healing and peace, for comfort and restful sleep.
We pray for patience and strength, for courage and hope,
to face another day and walk another mile and share another road,
In the strong name of Jesus. Amen.
(from Rod Benson- Ethicist and Director of Public Theology, Tinsley Institute, Morling College, NSW)

Tennis

Today Michelle and i went with a group of church friends to play tennis at the i believe, nunawading tennis courts. Luckily Matt is a member and we somehow got the 3 courts free :)

It was 3 hours of strenuous tennis, yes i say strenuous because my legs are cramping now. Maybe it's cos i'm usually not use to sudden leg stretches and chasing after the balls. I must say going to the gym for an hour is less painful than a few hits of a tennis ball.

Afterwards, we all retired back to Matt's house. Mish and sharon had prepared brownies for us. yummmie. they were really nice. Other people were playing guitar hero; i've got to say Sam plays effortlessly and still gets a good score. ( he practices )

Afterwards, a few of us went to Boxhill for dinner at ming cha (new age) and Rosalie actually made a legitametly funny comment! darn i forgot what it was though! but it was for once funny, well it made me laugh

From there on, we headed to another Matt's house to play TABOO & PICTIONARY. i've got to say taboo is a really fun game, i might want to get it. or scab off someone. but we must play it at church camp, i'll sacrifice sleep for that game lol

Tomorrow i have driving at 10 am i have under 10 hours of sleep so yeah, hope it all goes well tomorrow. I still have to do my give ways hw for him.. hmmm it's give way to right yeah? let's hope so i'll write that down
g'night
