Dias (mama) and Lei Lei's visiting the Land of Sheep

Dias, a good friend of mine from Singapore, came to down to Dunedin for a short visit with his gf. He was an exchange student here back in 2007, and we met through one of my flatmate (Bavani) in Toroa. Man, that was like 2 and a half year ago. Time do flies and having him back here really brings back a lot of good memories =)

On the first night of their arrival, we had a little steamboat session at my place.

















The following day, I left them alone to have a little bit time of their own in town while I go for my classes and usual OCF. Only later in the evening, I joined them again at Robie Burns. It was great to have friends to go to places like this. I love Jazz. I love it even more when there is a Saxophone involved. Oh! One more, the rough voice of the old man dragging the songs. ME FAVORITE. It also reminds me all the reasons that I liked this place so much. Sometimes, you got so immersed with all the assignments and stress that you really forget to stop and enjoy the student life here (>.<) Felt a bit sad then too, every one have move on from the last time we met at Robie. I wonder if any one else would come back to see them play again. Not that I am trying to curse the musicians but they might not be able to play forever. They are a group of friends, at their sixties (I think), who got together and form this awesome band








We then walked over to Pequeno for some cheese platter and wine. Another place that brings back lots of memory..








Wanted to stop by Yuki before we head over to Monkey ut unfortunately it was closed. Went to Golden Harvest instead. SUPPER TIME! (^.^)




After that, we walked over to Monkey. However, since Dias forgotten his ID, only me and Lei Lei went into Monkey, which only lasted for 1 minute. Just for a quick look of how a church can be transformed into a clubs... We then call it a night.

Met up at their backpackers, the Central, the next morning. We went for brunch at Nectar, which was then joined by Andrew.



COFFEE~

It was fun spending time with them, they are such a lovely couple to hang out with. Am definitely gonna look for them when I stopped by S'pore in the future ;) That's all for now.

Love, Ginny

the little blessing behind those dark moments in life

Honestly, to those who met me today, I may seems all normal to you guys.. But the things is I am actually having one of the worse day of my week. So pardon me if I said or did something terrible to you (>.<)

I started my day with the water supply to my flat cut off. Yes, no water at all. Which means, I wake up only to find that I cannot wash my face, brush my teeth and most of all I CANNOT SHOWER! *squeak* With time running out, I put on some decent clothes, packed some of my toiletries and stuck my towel into my bag. I am going to take a shower at Clubs n Socs after my class. Pity Ed, my classmate, who have to bear with my bad morning breath.

Ed: oh! you change your hair style today?
Ginny: No, is because of I haven take a shower and is a bad hair day too. sad face
=(


Little blessing that God had placed #1: UNLIMITED HOT SHOWER at clubs and socs, and I got the shower room all by myself. Weee!

Little blessing that God had placed #2: catch up with Sheena at lunch =D bump into her at Burns and since I got meeting soon, found myself a "Kaki" to have lunch with

Had group meeting for one of the biggest assignment (worth 25% of my whole paper). Through out the meeting, my ideas kept bounced back to me or it always ended up in the bin. However, when ever my group mates suggested some thing, I must compromise them. Felt so useless in the group.

Went back home feeling all drained from the group meeting. I found a little note on the table saying, "if no water, please call ######" right, they cannot pick an earlier time to tell me that they are going to cut the water supply.

I got even more discouraged and offended when M disrespected me. When ever he is having a bad day, rude words and crude tone is a norm in the flat. However, i have my bad days too. Does that means I can do the same? I did not, and all I can do is just swallow my pride and move on... is so hard, especially today

Had a talk with E, but things get messy very soon when we were discussing on our weekend plans. Sigh, just felt like no one is compromising me at all today. Felt like every one just being very harsh on me (T.T) SUPERB EMO ME!

Little blessing that God had placed # 3: got a text and later also a call from Sheena saying is okay to do whatever I want to do. She will follow me only de. Felt so TOUCHY! *tears flowing on my cheek*

Little blessing that God had placed # 4: went to OCF soon after dinner. confessed that I got such problem compromising, got prayed for too. Really Thank God for blessing me such wonderful friends around me. Really felt loved there (>.<)

Conclusion? Though it may seems all so hopeless for us at times, but if we could just stop and look around us. There are actually a lot of little blessing in our life that could just turn a "bad" day around into one of the best day in our life. =D

Out of shape

I felt so out of shape lately. It is not much of a physical side, but emotionally and spiritually. I have a confession to make here, I haven been studying the bible every day lately. I only do it when I go for bible studies with OCF and also with my live group girls. Thank God I still got these two to hold me together. Really need to set my goals up right again (>.<)

One more thing, I have also been a very bad daughter, said things that I should not say to my mom. Kind of not know how to face her any more. I wanted to tell her how I felt all these while, and things just turn out really bad for some reason. Sigh.

Financially out of shape! yeah, been eating out so much this week >.< so is time to turn to instant noodles this week. I really need to manage my financial wisely or I will be broke soon!

Prayers! I need lots of prayers >.<

Annual Elim's church camp =)

This time, is my 3rd year to Elim's camp. Once again, God never failed to amazed me with His work in touching my heart. Honestly, I may not felt as much anointing as every one did in church; but on the other hand, I am still blessed. I was blessed to be given a chance to witness how God have touched every one's heart. That alone is enough =) It was a very moving scene to see how every one found themselves in God's presence again. My heart is at peace knowing God is working in their life. How amazing is that? =D
