Hihi!

lots have happened just that i havent had the time n effort to put it down here. =D

ok, this term (3rd term) has been real busy n on the last day of the term i had to hand in 4 assignments n give 1 oral presentation.the day before i had to hand in another assignment. so ya, i ended the term by sleeping at 2am (though some ppl had it worse than i but i still dun like to sleep at 2 and wake up for 8am class. some more my fridays are always packed.

enough abt work rite aft tat i declared it officially holiday!so i decided to celebrate n reward myself for being so hardworking (hehe) with a mcD ice cream. n so happened i was messaging a fren n she came back n said she's also having mcD ice cream coincidentally~cool rite?

stayed over nite at a fren's place n next morning had a lifegroup outing to hahndorf n then strawberry farm n then choc factory. we didn get to pick strawberries cos not ripe yet. we ate german sausages again in hahndorf, n went to choc factory-i didnt buy anything cos they say haigh's choc in the city cheaper so ya.n at hahndorf there was free facepainting-for kids la...but my fren went to ask n the lady said for anyone...so i got my face painted too hehe.its not often u get to have yr face painted rite?some more at hahndorf no one knows me heehee.

i was thinking in the car, back in msia during hols we usually like to go to bigger cities n shop n stuff. here in aust during hols we go to the outback-very different hor?

n last nite my friends n i made spring rolls!well its been my craving since before term break...to make with friends so ya. it was fun. and considering that i didnt know how to make n a few oso not so sure...we try try ok ah! 4 of us made them together...so bad they all...say the ugly ones i wrap =( okla some were not that nice looking but not all wat!all in all we made close to 30 i guess?we didn keep count n the liao we put alot in each hehe so some not very proportional hehe.

see?lots of stuffing hehe.

before frying

well...something like frying la...kurang oil but ya...and and the one brownish on on the left is wrapped by yours truly!

this is one of 2 plates....n this plate has got two layers..underneath the napkins still has more!hehehehe.there would be a few more but we ate some along the way hehe.

all in all took us 3 hours?haha.

k, take care ppl!

u kno how at times u feel discouraged n bit lonely?like at one point u can be so zealous, so energetic and nothing could bring u down?then at times u'd feel just ok, hanging on...but not like previously when u were so joyful and happy?

well i've been feeling so lately. a bit out of touch with God. a bit slacked. i still do devotion...but still, u only read one small passage in the Bible n wat's written by ppl for that particular day. that, may not be enough to feed yr spiritual needs daily.

we had lifegroup last nite. no more on fridays since oxygen grouped with powergen n nextgen to meet on fridays. last nite was the first wed nite meeting. we had Bible study...like devotion but with everybody.i find it encouraging to hear what other ppl think of the passage...diff ppl view the same passage differently. i suddenly remembered from somewhere how God calls us to build each other up, encourage one another and when we come together and study the Bible we learn from one another. that's really true. it does work.

i came home last nite slightly encouraged, slightly happier. happy cos there's this group of ppl that knows the same God i kno, shares the same Father who loves me dearly as He does these ppl (and others too, but that they know He loves them n they love Him too). im glad that we can edify one another. also sometimes we remind each other how much our heavenly Father loves us. hmm, that IS wat lifegroup/cell groups are all about rite?

sometimes...well many a times we let the enemy tell us lies and all and we hear it so often we somehow unconsciously believe it. we let the devil decept us to think that we are unworthy of God's love, n that wat we have done would make our Father not look at us and love us less. how we doubt the greatness, the unfathomable love He has for us, the powerful name we can call on at any time and He will come to us. we start to think that God is so far away from us...that it takes great effort n concentration to reach Him...so much so we might have turned connecting with God into some other meditating religion...but in fact, the terms are so clear, so simple, so easy. we let the evil one tell us and ingrain in us that christianity is so complex and all. we let ourselves get so caught up with wat we do everyday n let a small matter seem so big. (like math for instance, for me la...n assignments. i feel they're like huge boulders i need to overcome. but in fact they're so tiny and God can help make the load seem so light) often we find ourselves forgetting that He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world.

i learn alot with each passing day. hmm so far, besides wat i've written above i've learnt, that whenever we call upon blessings and promises of the Lord onto ourselves, the Devil will scheme in different ways to make u not believe that. he puts things in yr path to blind u. n its up to us to push forward n not let that one stumble pull u backwards, back to square one. i feel for me that i've recently been hit by some rocks on the floor n i've sat down to take a pause...n not been getting up from that spot. so now im getting up again n continuing my journey.  at times like these are when u need ppl around u for support and encouragement. don tell yrself that u don need ppl to help u cos in fact no one can stand as an island. cos that's why we have friends n loved ones around us.

i miss la all my frens...close frens n all. have been a bit down cos feeling a bit sien with all the shallow n casual talks i have been having with ppl...havent had a REAL long chat in ages.
