Argh... supposed to find science journals for tomorrow's class...gosh. haven't even read the project outline... however, the scope's getting clearer...

God is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooood.... He's amazing. After trudging through 2 weeks of Siberia a.k.a. NIE with all that relationships going haywire... Blanca called me last nite. She told me that prior to calling me she sensed that i was feeling depressed, which i was... Yup... it's the third monday blues.... gosh. So, i shared with her what was happening in school, and she told me that she had a friend who went through similar circumstances. However, she decided to accept it and move on. That got me thinking abit... then after counselling me and encouraging me, she prayed for me. Indeed she is also one of my God-send... really spoke into my life, no nonsense yet really out of love. About stop looking at myself and focus on God. Somehow i just sat up and listened to her. She's such an angel... and when she prayed, it was really full of anointing. Indeed, God really answers our prayer... this morning, as i drove to school, i arrived around 8. Met Ms Jessie Png along the way to the LT. Greeted her and she was so warm!!! She was like, "Hi!!!! Long time no see!!!" Wah... really really touched... and then i emailed her via WAP, which pretty much surprised her, coz she didn't expect to receive an email so soon after having met up. Shared with her abit about how her gesture made me feel, which was the warmest thing that happened in Siberia for the past 2 weeks,... if i dun rem wrongly... and that i've resolved to move on, and how today was a great start! :) Then she replied very promptly too, saying that she's happy that i've made such a decision, and to look at the clear sky, listen to the birds chirping and to see the beautiful trees in NIE... and cheer up! Wow... God, thank you for Ms Png! :)

Also thank God that i am actually on such good terms with my tutor... i think it's really unbelievable... back in murdoch i never believe such relationships existed... wow... amazing. I'm actually thrilled to see her... and Mrs Fernandez too... :) oh, and Dr H K Boo... hehehe.... dunno why. they're inspiring and get me excited about studies and teaching! Oh, and not forgetting Dr W C Liu! :)

Then, as i attended my first lecture and tutorial, after class, Ellezan & Katherine invited me for lunch! :D Well, Ellezan did. :) And we had lunch together, ard 10 plus, and saw Ellezan saying grace. *excited* It was a really good experience, thanking God and just experiencing His presence... (actually read Psalms this morning... :) before going for lecture and meeting Ms Png). After lunch, as we were chatting, i thanked the both of them for the invitation... which surprised them. Then i shared briefly about what had been happening... I teared and Ellezan too when she saw me tearing... wah... really got heart of compassion... and she said she'd also been praying daily for God to use her to be a blessing to the people around her. Never did she realise that such a small gesture had a tremendous effect. Praise God. And Katherine's a young believer too... accepting Christ as her Lord about a month ago! God answered our prayer of putting Christian sisters/friends in my life in NIE! :) It's good to know that God's in control! :) It was simply amazing... Kat also went through a group dynamic change... sigh... seems that there are quite a few of these cases around. :(

Went KB today, died after 20 minutes. Too tired to exercise. Not enough sleep. Third day of cycle also... it's ending... at goreng pisang which sucked... went shoe shopping but they were all ugly... and about a certain dot who mentioned me picking up ugly shoes... yup, just seeing how ugly they could be!! Hahahah..... No lah... seriously, just looking around... and i still like the ribbons and roses.... even though dottie has 'shredded' my beautiful Southhaven skirt to death... =P will wear it to death!! Hahahhah....

Ben's been at the fish tank for more than an hour... wonder when the perfect condition and landscape's gonna happen. When he misses me, then he'll come and look for me...i think...yup... or perhaps i should buy the remote control car and he go play with another toy...? He almost changed water... he sure is busy... but thankfully he took care of the smelly toilet... hahaha.... argh. damn smelly, wanna faint. dog piss & vapour. argh.

But then again, if I were to take care of the fishes, guppies would be on the endangered species list pretty quickly... so forget it...

Fish update: one male guppy died in main tank. Female guppy died in vase-tank. New tank and frame installed in the student care centre... more guppies there. And there are virtual fishes on the computer. I'm not going to eat fish anymore. The fishes I'm really interested in are those that i catch with hook and bait and lots of favour from God, almost hearing His voice saying (like throwing the net in the bible)... "Throw your line over to this side of the boat, for you will surely catch many seabass..." hahah... =P Seriously, I like fishing. :) It's therapeutic... and even if at the end of the day, i dun catch anything, i know i have fed many fishes... my last count? 3 fishes in Maldives... with one big one that got away... seriously.

Got 930 class tmw, with 3 hour break. Hopefully can find journal articles. Or else die ugly death. Day ends at 330, will come home and SLEEP. Yup... enjoy the luxury while still possible... coz the deadlines are like the tsunamis... 200 feet tall... but God is good. :)

Oh. If Elise ever goes NIE, one will be pork-chopped, while another will have her $400 hairstyle ruined by scissors... sigh... how i love her so much... haahhahaha..... good nite. :)
