Wednesday 27 July

it's only mid week and i feel as though so much has been happening!

was woken up by aimee on monday who wanted to have lunch, so i had to wake up for lunch. hahaha. i laugh because she's someone who wakes up before the sun rises and never gets how i can sleep in till so late in the day.
Monday night was dinner with the palmerston girls. good times good times. ze has become more lady like. haha maybe that's what boyfriends do. someone made the same comment about me last week after not having seen me since 4 years back.


Tuesday morning, matt, deon and i met to prepare for a presentation to the Triple Helix Comm.
We obviously could not and did not meet up during the holidays so we settled on meeting just before the presentation.
It went surprisingly smoothly, and I'd like to thank God for that.
We did not pin too much hope on winning because Deon's going to Milan for exchange and Matt wasn't too keen on working with TTH.
We walked in to the room, and realised that the previous team had prepared lovely handouts. they had a marketing proposal and a game plan. Actually the guys noticed those, i was just happy doing what i needed to do.

Today, upon checking my email, I was pleasantly surprised that lo and behold, we actually came in first! at this point, again i had mixed feelings because I wasn't sure whether I wanted to commit to working with TTH.
We'll see how things go.


Aunty Merrilyn also arrived at my place on tuesday. right after the presentation, i headed home to help her settle in my humble abode. Joel and leland had picked her up from the airport. The three of us then went for lunch with her at corretto.
before i knew it, i had to rush off to meet tim. Great conversation as usual. Shortly after I got home from Arrow, Winnie and Zach came to pick me up for dinner with the rest of the housechurch at Winston's.

today was another busy day. 4 hours of classes followed by catch up with adeline and a hunt for a lost parcel which brought me to the post office, my old apartment, and back to the post office again.
Too much excitement for the day, i took a much needed nap, only to be woken up by jon lee who picked me up for dinner at Arrow.

The welcome party was inspiring. im tempted to write to caleb about how the basement got turned into a dancefloor, and what happening people there are around here.
it was really interesting. tim's little item with jorji and shing really made me see him in a different light. haha with a happening pastor, no wonder the people are happening.
the guys also kept trying to drag tim to the dance floor after. lol. crazy.

so refreshing. time for bed.

back in action!

Im finally back in melbourne after a sleepless flight which landed me in a semi-zombie state the whole of yesterday (save for the short window after coffee at mr close).

not that i can't sleep on planes, it was quite comfortable in the A380, but the movies were great too. haha. so was the company. i was sandwiched between two pleasant aussie girls who have lived half their lives in asia. incidentally, we all have a long distance relationship. haha :) probably the best plane company i've had with strangers.

it took over an hour to clear customs. it's a nightmare in melbourne airport, much unlike singapore. so though we landed at 6.20am, i only reached home at 9. and crashed immediately, needless to say. i was hoping to make it for service but slept right through, waking up just when service was ending so i rushed down for lunch with the bunch, and coffee thereafter because lunch, like melbourne airport, was a nightmare.

the highlight of my day was our visit to tim's. waihong, vong, gel, mandy and i drove to tim&cheryl's and spent the rest of the evening hacking wood for the fireplace, getting the fire (in the fireplace - no bbq) going, preparing beautiful red wine casserole and setting the place up for a long evening of great conversation from paintball to fighting to sex.

haha intensely thought-provoking as usual. loved it. the hardest part was holding my bladder because i didn't wanna miss any bit of conversation. what better way to spend the first evening back in melbourne.

happy :)
