greetings and salutations from the one, the only, soo yi's apartment! went to church this morning. was really good. although i was super emotional and was crying throughout worship. that's the thing about me. when i get upset or stressed out about anything, i feel closest to God. so everytime He ministers to me, i break down. so...that's what i did again. shucks...
after church, we (zk, su-ann, dex, and i) went for lunch in chinatown with some of our seniors. had dim sum.
was feeling so homesick one of the seniors took a look at me and said..
'you're looking very depressed. are you ok?
wow...i need to learn how to maintain a poker face.
so we had dim sum and it seemed fairly familiar with all the asian faces around. but there was of course the ang moh, who came to eat as well and you know what? they drink wine and beer with dim sum. seriously. we drink tea, they have alcohol. hahaha..and there were these really pretty chinese mainland girls on the next table, so all the guys were sneaking covert glances across. boys will be boys.
and yes, yin, there are a lot of leng chais here. just haven't gotten the nerve or the mood to chat one up.
eveything's on sale now, since it's nearing the end of summer. but i'd rather watch out for better bargains later on and concentrate on looking for a place to live.
soo yi's been really kind in letting me bunk in with her. whereas the rest have to like stay in motel and pay about 38aud a night. or something like that.
house hunting isn't easy work. on saturday, we walked all the way from kedron, which is a suburb up north to herston, which was nearer the central area. i think it was about a 20km or so walk. and the weather here is super hot now. scorching. and i got burnt. already. 2 days and i'm burnt. hahahaha....so we went to herston to inspect a place which turned out to be a huge disappointment. 2 bedroom and it's the size of my gazebo back home. and that's like 170aud a month. it's crazy i know. sigh...but oh well..
went to caleb's place for dinner. ahko was there even though caleb's in malaysia. met his housemates. koreans, taiwanese, french mates. wow. hies place seems nice, a bit old thought since it's about 30 years old. had a typical aussie bbq although none of us were australian! it really seems like ahko has truly enjoyed herself here. i'm sure this won't be her last visit. she was practically the life of the party during the bbq seeing as they threw it in honour of her leaving today. i suddenly see my ahko in a whole new light.
mum's feeling a bit panicky at home also i guess since she got the kan brothers to call me and make fun of me not finding a house. but thanks for the link boys. managed to find about 4 places which would do really nicely. so, all i need to do now is call them tomorrow and arrange for an inspection. hopefully tomorrow as well. please, please pray for all of us here.
and yes, lyn. i'll learn to grow up. seems like i'm the only one missing home, other than sarah who had the same problem as me. su-ann misses her hamster. of all things..
anyway, lyn, soo yi's coming back in february. be nice and your birthay present may fly with her.
