Pilgrim's Progress

Well, i'm halfway through the week --- Yay! Am going for tennis later in school after lunch --- Yay! Finally i get to destress. Hurhur. Well, the weather is changing. It's been drizzling yesterday - which means spring is coming! My church friends informed us that usually when the seasons change, it usually rains. Like winter to spring, it rains. But when spring is here, it kind of stops. And then when spring changes to summer, it rains again. And the cycle goes on. Oh well, the day is getting longer, Mr Sun is setting at 6pm now, 1hour later than it used to be. But it's getting windier. The winds here are chilly! So when you're in the shade, it gets really cold, but when you are in the sun, it's still alright.

Went for a fund raising musical called Pilgrim's Progress on sunday night. They're trying to raise funds for building a new church. So, Mark (a singaporean but whole family shifted here) was our designated driver to get us to Holland park - which was a 15 minutes drive away from our house. It was a very good musical. The songs and lyrics were all written by the directors themselves. I could see how much effort, sweat and tears went into the play. The directors were really young! Like 20 plus? 2 girls and 1 guy. Some of the actresses were really pretty - heard they're mainly from Vietnam and Hong Kong - cuz the interpreter was speaking cantonese (which was really weird to hear cantonese spoken at such an event). Anyway, the musical is based on a book about a man's walk in Christ. It's a really old story but the directors added some modern influence into the story like incorporating Paris Hilton-lookalike as Vain-Confidence etcetc. Really cute. I was very impressed by the musical as the actors and actresses sang really well and really talented, plus they're so young! They can't be more than 21 years old.

Oh well, by the time Mark sent Alicia and I home, it was already 1050pm. Too late to talk to pa and mummy, plus gu jie has to go home. Missed Kor's 'birthday celebration'. Hopefully, he received the card i sent him. Don't know if it made it across the ocean.

By the way, i didn't know that my house looked soooooo good from outside. When Mark sent we girls home, the living room light was on and the house looked like a small cozy cottage! Mark and Simon was awed by the house. Hehheh~! I was so proud of our house from that day on. Maybe because we spent sunday afternoon cleaning up the whole house. Thanx Alicia! = )

Yesterday was a public holiday! It's called People's day. Spent the morning rolling around in bed and i studied like crazy. I have no idea why. Exams are not even here yet! I don't usually do this when i'm in singapore. Reading lecture notes the night before and revising the notes after lecture in the night. I don't do all this when i was in poly! Well, i think it's because i have nothing to do at home. The only thing to do is - study. Oh no! I'm turning into a serious nerd. Well, after studying for half a day, we went out and treated ourselves with Domino's pizza at Taringa! Yums! Came back and Alicia baked banana muffins for us and we went out to the balcony and gaze at stars again. But.... it was quite a cloudy night, ended up sitting and chatting and analysing how many friends we have made over the past few weeks. Let's just say that we can count using our fingers. Science students are introverts - we can't help it. = )

Ooo! Had practical on tuesday on ticks, lice and fleas! ARGH! It was damn gross! There was live and dead lice, ticks and fleas. We were suppose to view them under microscope and see their body structure. The dead ones were ok.....but some ticks were bloated up with blood and it was big, fat and red! Gross. The live lice were damn gross too... gave me goosebumps. Thinking of them crawling up my body..... Argh! But it was a really interesting practical. Now i know how to differentiate them as body, head lice or cat, dog flea or chicken, cattle, kangaroo or wallaby ticks.

Gonna have potluck with the seniors this saturday. Hopefully it's still on. They're probably coming to our house - maybe can take some photos then. = ) I'm gonna zzz now and cook lunch later. Just had 1 lecture at 8am and the 9am lecture was cancelled.
