Its been awhile since I blogged... Been really busy these few days... Orientations and stuff... School's starting next week! I've got a kind timetable... Only 4 days! And of those 4 days, 3 days are half days! :D
I will update when there's more exciting stuff! My first worship duty this Sun! BV! It means "Backing Vocals".. LoL
Some photos of the meals I've cooked recently...
The photo doesn't show it all... But the rays of light shining through the clouds is amazing!
And look at how long that line of clouds is!
That's all today!
Gonna keep this real short. It's been a long day and I'm really tired. ARGH!
Orientation was really long and quite boring at times.. After coming back from orientation, the tough part starts.. I have to start choosing my co-majors, minors and electives! What a headache man! I spent the last 4 hours looking through all the available courses to me and I still can't make up my mind. Haha.. Gonna look at them again tomorrow..
Went to Pancake Parlour again just now with my neighbour, Gary. Psycho-ed him to be a Pancake Parlour fan now! Haha.. We're gonna visit it once every month.. :)
And I signed up for the planetshakers conference! WOOT! Its at the Hisense Arena! Cool place.. Eh signing up for the conference doesn't make that my home church or make up my decision ok. Haha.
Oh well, that's all for today... Goodnight to end of week 2.. :)
Bear with me.. This is gonna be a long post...
皇上 and Us
I was just watching a 古莊片 and had some thoughts while watching it. As I watch, I was just thinking the relation between the emperor and his subordinates is like God and us. The emperor expects his subordinates to carry out his orders, just like God expects us to obey his commandments. But of course God is more merciful, He won't sentence us to death if we disobey. But sometimes we take God's mercy for granted. If we continue to take God's grace for granted, one day, we may just end up getting the death sentence! As I watch, I see how the eunuchs and generals can be so faithful to the emperor, serving him with their lives, and obeying every single command without even asking "why", but how is it that we are not like that to God? Are we really wiling to put our lives down for God? Are we faithful to God? Are we not always procrastinating when God calls? We just act dumb and let it pass by. I want to be like the disciples who are so faithful to their masters. God help me!
The Dilemma
I went to 2 churches today. VFC Melbourne and Planetshakers City Church. VFC service was good. Nice worship and a good word. And I also joined the worship ministry! Eh, dun need audition 1.. They trust me? Haha..
After that, headed down to Planetshakers. Its really like attending EDGE. Powerful worship stuff and awesome videos. Really, our video announcements at EDGE is peanuts to them. They probably won't even look at our announcements. LoL. I really felt energized at the service even though there wasn't preaching, just worship and lots of videos (as it was their 5th anniversary).
Now comes the hard part. Where is my home church? VFC or Planetshakers? After the service, my mind was really heavy with thoughts of this. But this thought suddenly came to me - Is it about what I can give or what I can receive? I know I will have something to give if I'm at VFC, if I'm at Planetshakers, I can receive a lot more, especially if I join their video team, since its related to what I'm studying at uni. So where do I go now? Is it better to be part of the VFC church? Or go to planetshakers where it could be more beneficial for me? Honestly, I feel spiritually better in the Planetshakers church, but more comfortable with the people in VFC. I don't know.. Argh.. Tough decision.. Any advice? But if I don't take your advice please don't kill me! Haha..

Proud of my dinner! The gravy's fantastic.. Its the swedish meatball gravy..
Nothing much on Day 12.. Just going to the library to use itnet.. And stocking up... I'm proud of my "collection"
Whoa.. Large Collection! Gonna last me a long time!
Got tom yam paste!
Quite empty here.. Haha
The freezer! Swedish meatballs, crabballs, cheese fishballs and tang yuan!
The huge wang wang that cannot fit anywhere I had to put it on my printer!
More church photos tomorrow!
Whoa.. Its been a few days since the last update.. Nothing much the past few days lah.. Walk around loh.. Today's a little more eventful.. We went to Queen Victoria's Market.. And tried the italian restaurant there that Pam recommended.. Er.. Total disappointment.. And in order not to make the waitress feel bad, we said we were happy with the meal.. But in all honestly, it was BAD! Very salty! I kept drinking water cause its so salty lah! Their pizzas worse.. No wonder only $13 for a large pizza.. Our canadian pizza even better than theirs loh! But I think our canadian pizza more ex.. Haha.. One cent money one cent goods (translated).. But we were to be disappointed by another of Pam's recommendation - Pancake Parlour! WOOT! Fantastic man... I had the pancakes with hot fudge and hundreds and thousands.. ITS AWESOME! When you people come over, please make it a point to try pancake parlour, its definitely a hundred times better than the italian restaurant, La Porchetta (sounds like Ha! I cheat ya!)..
Bah its gonna be a boring Sat... Awaiting a fun-filled Sun in church and then in the afternoon, visiting PS! Not Plaza Singapura lah! Planetshakers! :D
3 more days to orientation day! WOOT!
Its the start of week 2! Went to DFO today with Esther Wee and her mum... I duno if I'm suaku or wat.. I thought DFO was like a shopping centre like Metro or Robinsons, but turned out, its a shopping centre with many different shops.. LoL.. Nothing that interest me there.. Maybe should not say that, rather, I wasn't into buying something, so it wasn't really the place for me.. Ended up in Starbucks again and this time, the coffee's better! Haha.. Still, SG 1 is better.. Went around city after that and tried the vietnamese food.. Er.. Not to my liking.. Haha.. Maybe its the noodles they used that took my appetite away.. It was the same cold noodles (other than its hot this time) that I had in HK (the mango shop).. Some pics to go along........
Stadium with the "M" :D
And we walked so far just to see the "waterfront"........
The BRIDGE
AX in Melbourne Central!
Day 7 eh! That's fast! Tomorrow will mark the start of week 2 in Melbourne.. Can't wait for next Mon to come.. Haha.. So boring lah.. Spent my day in town today.. Nothing much.. Just walked around and see see loh... Really quite lousy leh.. SG shopping also better than here loh... Bah! I guess my greatest achievement in town was buying Starbucks! Haha.. But really, now I know why Starbucks in Melb close down... Their coffee is really quite bad.. SG 1 nicer.. EVEN HK 1 NICER! Eh this is sooo bad here.. Maybe I went to the wrong outlet.. Haha.. Next time try the other 1..
Came back from town and met a new neighbour! WOOT! COOL! He's from SG too and he's studying at monash in caufield... Nice to have a SG neighbour.. Haha..
Argh my internet gonna die liao.. Left 1GB oni.. Can't believe I used 6GB already lah.. Ugh.. Hopefully school got free internet.. Haha
A week has passed and I'm still missing SG! Bye WEEK 1! DFO tomorrow!
WOOT! Been to VFC Melbourne today! Haha.. We walked like 20mins to get there from the train station.. The whole journey took me 1 hour! It's like going for Corp Svc at Expo by train! Really far man... But I enjoyed myself at the service.. Ps Ray preached and there were many chinese in the church! Some from HK, some from M'sia, but most of them have been here for a long time... 10 years++ also got sia... I wonder why they stay so long in this weird place.. Haha.. Well, I don't hope to be like them! It was great hearing Ps Ray sharing about the vision of the church and how they are starting LIW classes and getting people involved in ministry... They have prayer mtgs every Wed! (Not like in SG, only once a mth), but too bad they only have morning service and no evening service..
I think the people here are very patient... Singaporeans will really have to learn how to be patient here... I waited like 15mins for the train to get to the church... I thought that was long enough.. Considering it will never happen in SG unless a train breaks down... But on my way back, I had to wait 40mins for my train! FORTY! That's FORTY! Crazy! I wait until my neck also long liao loh... Bah!
Came back and found my com beyond repair... Had to reformat it... I thought I could get everything back since I have got a backup, but I didn't noe that Tiger OS don't have Time Machine! ARGH! I can't backup now until I get my new com and install Leopard OS... Ok sounds confusing rite.. Nvm... In simpler terms, it means my com now only has the original softwares, msn, skype and firefox.. Nothing else... BAH! But at least I have the most important software - QUICKTIME! To play all my shows! Haha!
Enjoying the night wind now... So cooling.. Ahh... That's the end of Day 6... Really looking forward to school... I'm so bored trying to stuff myself with activities!
Just gonna play the game on Des's blog for fun! Haha.. Just that mine will be filled with chi words.. LoL
