the break in

dong got the keys to my apartment on saturday cause i was gonna be out the whole day and he was gonna wait to have dinner with me. SO, guess what he did.

i came back and noticed that my apartment was more spacious! haha AND.. my bathroom was so cleeeeeen! hahahaha. yay can marry him already. AHAHA. kidding. sorry sorry - cannot joke about this kinda thing.

i had a pretty busy weekend which is really motivating me to study this coming week. daniel's leaving melbourne tmr! we had dinner at stalactites as a cell today. everyone was there except jon lee who popped by while we were waiting for seats at max brenners. i'm really surprised, glad and encouraged by how dan feels the same kinda sadness he felt when he left singapore even though he's only been in melboure for 6 weeks. must have really been a good 6 weeks for him. :) i must also say that it was because daniel was committed to coming every friday night and tuesday afternoon even though he started out being unsure of whether or not he would be coming back to ocf for the second time after his first night. what can i say - im glad he took the initiative and was willing to take a chance on this group of average-not-very-happening-looking group of uni students.

today's father's day in australia. daddy's birthday was on tuesday and i wrote him a card so i didn't call back or anything today. i did a father's day dance item in church which was choreographed by nicole. eh heh. it's funny - this love hate relationship i have with dancing. one moment i really feel like dancing and moving my body (EVEN THOUGH I DON"T HAVE THE GROOOOVE!) and the next i just wanna run away from anything dance-related.

i spoke to p today because i found her sitting alone. i remembered what penny said about looking out for people who are alone when everyone else is in their own group of friends. you never really quite notice these people. sometimes you'd rather not take notice of them because then you wont have to talk to them and feel uncomfortable taking that initiative. anyway, p and i had an interesting time of sharing. haha. yeah i'd certainly like to talk to her again.

i also had a very interesting convo with g, even though it was short. talked about his ambition, his passion. i really wanna talk to him about this more!!

uhm OH! RATANA replied my email! happy. she's over in singapore from cambodia till monday and it's been about a year since i last heard from her. i met her in COSI in cambodia when i went over with other youth from church a few years back. well - i actually first met her when i was 13.

the thought of him being rather annoying had stuck with me for quite some time. i kept telling myself that he was on a TOTALLY different frequency and i'd never ever be able to have a proper conversation with him, or see him to be a really WOW-type person. but HEY,surprise surprise. i (encouraged by melissa after i told her my struggle) made the decision to intentionally sit with him and make myself talk to him. and i think that really changed my view of him. it really makes a difference when you look out for the good in a person. i felt that my perception of him really changed. not because he said or did anything spectacular, but i guess it was some kind of a breakthrough for me - to START to see him for the beautiful creation that he is. i emphasize on start because i daren't say that he looks completely beautiful to me yet. to be able to see the beauty in someone is amazing.

mel came over to my place when we reached cs ad we talked till 12.45. really intense coversation too. wow. today's been one really colourful day. thank you God!
