as of recent times .
socceroos
````socceroos vs. thailand : 4-0 . fantastic game . i actually hadnt to that point watched a full game of the asian cup . and that was an awesome match to watch . BEAUCHAMP . VIDUKA . VIDUKA . KEWELL . oh football gets me more excited that anything .
````socceroos vs. japan : 1-1 . japan won on penalties . i was at manifest that night, so i couldnt watch it live. my mum taped it for me, and i watched till 3am .. it was heartbreaking . the tape finished just after timmy's penalty . so i didnt get to see the end . WE ARE OUT . now thats a depressing thought to comprehend . i still love you socceroos . september 11th here we come :D
birthday parties.
````catherine cheah's 19th . we went to strike, then dragon boat palace . strike was so much fun , li was a pro and i beat linda in the first game :D they have yummy chips. and apple on a stick makes me sick . & then we dragon boat palaced it up for dinner . we had the most awesome present for cat , aka MEGATRON . lolol . happy birthday cat :D
````michael antonius hardy's 18th . at ruffey lake park, where meena & ingrid had theirs . i cant believe mike's finally 18 , now he can do all the things he's been doing for the past two years LEGALLY . && a girl from uni was there, and it turns out she's amanda , friends with doris and jess , the same one i missed out on meeting manyatime during the holidays . oh and it was so cold i couldnt feel my toes .
friends farewells
````linda ; its been such a awesome fun holiday, and it wouldnt have for linda & her obsession with alcohol . and drifting . (not together of course) . and daniel who is 3degrees cool . and stalking . and beeping twice at random guys . lololol . she's become one of my bestest friends, and im so glad she was there when it happened . her support and friendship has been so awesome . oh and we got our ears pierced together . (yes, i got a second ear piercing, im so emo & i love it ) and last friday, she left back for adelaide . but yaya for yestime :D
````emily ; my only friend at uni is officially dropping out of uni . it doesnt sound like much, but i seriously doubt i would i survived uni last semester without her. when i started uni, i wasnt sure if this course was for me .. and then i met emily , and we found that we were weirdly connected through my brother and her cousin . and for some reason, because of that, it felt like i was meant to go to this uni , and meet her .. it was kind of a confirmation that i was meant to be here . and now thats she's leaving, its like .. that confirmation wasnt what it was ? its hard to explain . but i was pretty shaken up about that . but now ive overcome it, and i know that this is what God wants me to do, and i just have to trust in Him .
uni stuff
````clinicals ; so yesterday was the first day of uni , and while helping emily put up her booksale signs, i checked the clinical boards and .. ZOMG THEY CHANGED MY CLINICALS FROM BOCHIU TO MAROONDAH hospital . D: i had no idea . and i have no idea how to get there . and its in two weeks . FREAKING ASDFJKL: .
````timetable ; timetable is really gay, i have 3 hr break on monday , 2 hr break on tuesday , one class on thursday ( today i went to uni, had a tutorial and came home on a 2hourly ticket ) & another two hour break tmr . zzzzzzzzz . breaks = myspace& facebook . hahaha . but we have less contact hours this semester = only 15hrs :P (18hrs last) . but i finish at 6pm monday & wednesday . grahh .
God's grace
````tears ; so something happened last week that i wont type up on here, that effected me pretty bad - those who don't know, don't need to know , even though some who know weren't meant to know . thank you especially to linda & jemery who were awesome and supportive at that time ( i cant believe it was only a week ago xD ) .
so this incident totally set the precedent of an emo week . things just fell apart from there . but despite that , i didn't cry . this was not a good thing, cause it didn't mean i was strong .. but that somehow my heart was hardened . i was negetive . i was angry . i was confused . but i didnt let it go . i needed God's presence, His touch .
at youth and even at manifest, when people were worshiping around me, i just couldnt focus . i couldnt reach God . It was only until sunday . i decided to go to chinese service , cause sabrina was worship leading :D and in that worship session, even though i didnt really understand the language - God touched me . with no one next to me, and without my normal bolys (cause they were in english service) .. those stubborn tears finally let go .. and ran down my face . Love , not mere human 'love' , but the ultimate Love of my GOD .. was the only thing that can satisfy . Thank you Jesus ! :D
````the CRASH ; this happened on the thursday, which just totally confirmed my emo week . it was probably the result of the first incident, described in the paragraph above . ( but before the tears bit ) . i was driving to work, like any other thursday .. and my dad asked me to drop off a letter in the mail for him . and so because i was early, i decided to park on the other side of the shopping centre of my safeway - closer to the postoffice . and there was where it happened . i had never driven on that side, and now i know why . it was x10 more busy than my normal side . (okay just trying to justify myself) .
so basically, when i was parking .. i hit the car next to me . i had NO IDEA . and it was SO EASY . it was so quick , i would never have expected such a small slip would cause it .
anyway, i was then late for work .. so i rushed inside for work while i called my parents to fix it up . and who do i see ? my not so favourite supervisor . yes, the same one that had made me cry on several occasions . it so happened that it was her first week back from holidays . it just had to be the day i crashed that she returned . thankfully, she was really nice about it (: Thank God, or i would not have been able to handle it and broken down in the middle of safeway .
in conclusion
```` the last was probably one of the worst weeks of my life, and through it all .. it was God who was just trying to tell me to draw back to Him . Things were going from worse to worse - any control i thought i had, just slipped through my hands . It was only when i put everything back to God , was when my 'luck' changed . It's an ever changing journey, but God is the constant . He will always be there , with open arms . His Love . He's done everything . We just have to reciprocate . 2

I didn't know that you went through so many things last week. Thank God it's over now.. and just remember that after every "storm", there is God's rainbow after that. And through trials & stress, that you'll grow to be more mature. ;)
