| hello everyone!
Phew! Just finished my 2 min speech for Preaching Skills yesterday and I am so glad it's done. And I talked on "Thanakha" Myanmar makeup. Ofcourse it's 1 out 4 that's done anyhow, it's good. Thank the Lord the Holy Spirit was with me, I knew that I would go totally blank without Him!
Handed in my 1st assignment for this semester, which is a Book Review on "Speak Up with Confidence" author is Carol Kent, an interesting book which I think all speakers and pastors should have. I surely recommend that book. That is if everyone follows it literally.
There are so many events marked in my planner. This term is really bustling with activities. I'm glad. Well firstly, it's my birthday TODAY! Haha NOT! Ok, it's my birthday on the 16th which will be a tuesday *bummer* or well not really...anyway, on the 20th we have a volunteers training for the book and tape shop at CityLife Church and that afternoon is the Missions Fundraising where Christine and I and Esther (it's not a typo *winks*)will be leading the worship. I'll omit the due dates for the assignments since they are NOT AT ALL interesting to be mentioning. Coming up on the 26-27th August is the Dare Women's conference at CityLife. And on the 14th of Sept which is actually my sister's birthday (gloria) we'll be having pizza and on the 17th of Sept we'll be going to the zoo, maybe cinema and Smorgy's All You Can Eat (Buffet) for International and Interstate students organized by the FRIENDS committee at HBC. Interesting eh?! Yay I'm excited.
Hmm...what else, well have to look back at my planner, anyway, those that I just mentioned are the ones that I think are worth talking about hehe. | | |
| Hey.. I have moved to this place already. No computer therefore no internet, therefore cannot check emails often as I do and cannot chat with my family *sob sob*. Anyway, man, I've got lots of assignments and interesting they are 'cuz they aren't just essays but book reviews, speech, book presentations, essays, answering questions.. very creative tasks however, too much work for me! I feel like I'm lagging behind. Oh dear.
Anyway, this friday my sis and I are planning to visit our aunt and uncle after school and Sunday will be a long day as well.
This new place is really quiet. It's good that people just stay by themselves, however, now it's just Chris and I on our own. It's exciting yet scary. I can't wait to get a new computer, don't know how and when I'm going to get it. I've got no money but I'm sure God knows our needs. Ofcourse I'd prefer a new computer but if I finish my degree what am I going to do with it? I mean I have to sell it on ebay perhaps or sell it to someone with a really low price, and it ain't worth it, but I think maybe I should take it back to Burma (that is if the computer is a brand new one), but would that be too much work? OH well..whatever will be will be, the future is not ours to see :)!
I wanna post some pics of the new place however, don't have a camera man! Especially wanna show them to my parents. Gosh, the new place is quite noisy as it's just beside the highway, really different from my aunt's place. The noise makes me miss the downtown of Yangon. Especially at 5:30 PM.. I guess I'm just fond of dwelling on the past. bad habit.
Ok enough of blabbering.. I guess we're heading home to our new location now! Cheers everyone! | | |
| Hey everyone
haha we're really moving tomorrow morning. Aim to move at 10 AM..move some stuffs and if we can't move all then we'll continue in the evening.
Just got back from 2 churches this morning. It's tiring but altogether fun! Tonight is U Sang's anniversary, 1st anniversary dinner. Yay..Yummy Food..I'm hoping.
Hmm..got our results for the 1st semester. I got 1 A, 3 B and 1 C. I got an A in Bible Study Methods. It's funny as in peculiar funny 'cuz I always thought BSM is a pretty complicated subject. However, I guess I emphasized on it a lot than any other. I made a C in Old Testament Survey and it's not surprising. I knew it the moment I answered the exam. Anyway, it's not just me it's EVERYONE. Mind you, everyone!! Some of the people just sat for like 1/2 hour and submitted their papers..At least I tried till the last minute, I was like the 2nd last person to leave the exam hall. Anyway I tried. The examiner is to blame. It's true...I mean afterall no one was able to answer and the questions are like not even mentioned in the notes..they're like general knowledge and who is to remember all those?!
I wish I could go to Ygn for my grandma's 80th Birthday. Seems like everyone's going there. If Dave and Gloria and Josiah goes there, man, i'd really wish I could see them..especially my nephew! I wanna see him so much. No picts to update for the moment and i don't think i'd be getting to blog that much as I don't have my own computer and internet connection after we move.
:D bye bye for the time being :P | | |

Hey peeps, a dear friend of ours is leaving tonight for Malaysia for GOOD. It's sad to see her go since through her we got to know people from Citylife and through her we got to know the cell groups. Yesterday night was her "Surprise Farewell Party" and it was funny because we all got into one small room, and there were like 20 ++ of us, it was stuffy inside but warm 'cuz the weather is extremely cold haha..anyway, we did the "Surprise!" thing for like 3 times to the wrong people. However it was a good rehearsal because when Denise really came she was surprised haha. It was soo funny. We all couldn't keep quiet. If one went "shh.." the other person would low down their tone, and then another person would go "shhh.." but the other person thought the "shh.." was making too much noise and went "shh.." so it never ended haha. Then there was this person eating chips and making those plastic noises. We told Haunu to make signals if they were coming close, because Haunu was the one to pick Denise and some others up. So this person named Owen or sth and David texted Haunu and vice versa just so that we wouldn't be making too much noise when they were near the house.
So yeah, we had pizza and later we had an open mic session. IT was a touchy session. One after another came up speaking stuffs about how Denise impacted their lives and all about their friendship. It was sad yet humourous because they kept recommending Sam for Denise. My, that never ended.
What they all spoke about Denise is true. Though we've only known Denise for 4 months, it seemed like we knew her for a loong time because Denise is so transparent. She's just herself, she's not after people with looks but she is just simply friendly and warm to EVERYONE and there's no exceptions. And I can see that she loves God and runs hard after Him and also she puts others above herself. That's true. I can see that in her. She made us feel like we were special and never tired calling us to the cells. It's amazing how her zeal for God is. Just by looking at her, I know that I lack a lot of the qualities she have and really, she's become a good example for us. Yeah, we'll miss her lots especially since we won't be hearing her laughters and smiles when we go to cell. Okie dokey
------------------------------------------
Moving? Not yet, a bummer. Well Christine just called the landlord and he said this guy still haven't moved and so we can't move in YET this weekend. It's getting so annoying. Hey, is that really what God wants for us? Hey, I've been praying that His will be done. I hope our wanting to move is not against His Will, maybe the timing is just not yet the time ?!? Who knows..oh well. The landlord said next week and this time we asked him if he was sure about it and he said YES. Hopefully it will be true 'cuz I'm tired of you know, thinking it'd be this week and not happening. Oh God, "Let Thy Will Be Done". Not mine our my sister's or my family's.

| Guess we're really moving next week. However since school's reopening next week I think it would make more sense to move during the weekend? what do you think ?!? hehe. Anyway, our stuffs are A LOT. Especially lots of thick books (textbooks), handouts, and notes and the beddings. They are huge and many. It looks like we're moving the whole house,... nah, can't be :D. We still need to buy groceries and groceries seem like they don't cost much but the little ones add up and sum up to plenty. Makes me nervous. Oh well, I guess we're really off on our own. I mean now it's like really on our own. I am not worried, however I'm nervous. But I always comfort myself that God would always take care of us and never abandon us. Like what Joyce said, HE would never let us starve. That really comforts me, serious :)! We desperately need jobs and hope we get jobs near the area we're going to move to. My aunt and uncle said the area we're going to move to has plenty of shops, stores, markets etc and it would not be difficult to get a job. I believe God has prepared one for us even before we got here, well I should say even before I was born. AMEN! He's reserved one for us with good pay and good time 'cuz we need to manage the time for school, for work, and to study. Library time isn't enough. Since my sister and I are "nearly perfectionists" especially when it comes to studies. Some people may not bother and would not care even if they haven't got time for extra study at home. But we do. We're broad up like that, can't help it. Anyway, it's a good habit. Not that we love studying: NO WAY! But we wanna do our best. Yesterday, my cousin and sister baked a chocolate cake with chocolate icing, haha, from a cake mix HAAHA. Not very smart, however, good to eat. Just kidding, if my sister reads this..haha..I don't care :). Also, I hate it when they think I don't know how to do kitchen work. I can do kitchen work but with my own style. Just because the way we do stuffs in the kitchen are different doesn't mean it's wrong. First time they acted that way I didn't mind but it's been several times now and so I'm not going to bother helping them out. And I know how to cook with a recipe book by the way, serious. Even better than her. I never get the opportunity to do it. Just because they're older doesn't make them smarter. UGh, very annoying. Know-it-alls. People don't learn with those kind of people around. They need to examine themselves. And I guess God's teaching me patience with those kind of people. One thing, I hate it is when my sister is so kind and thoughtful and would sacrifice her time for "the rest" of the people except her own family. But when it comes to her own family, it's like we're her lower priority. It's always been like that eversince we were in Ygn. My parents used to scold her 'cuz of that. There have been so many incidents eversince we arrived in Melb. I told her that but I guess she'll never learn. One day she'll understand but it might be too late. I'm not mean saying all the bad stuffs, but I guess it's too much already. However, her weakness is when she's too close with our friends, she's herself, meaning she would snap at them. HAHA. Oh well.. By the way, U Sang and Wije have arrived from Queensland from her friend's wedding. Arrived yesterday night, haven't seen them. Hmm..what else is new?? Oh yeah, we got the Free Lion King CD from the Herald Sun Newspapers. Only 4 songs, no wonder it's free. Pa Mung especially bought that newspaper to get that CD because we asked for it. So nice of him. OK enough of random thoughts and enough for today. | | |
