some corrections.

LoTR #2 @ oska's (oscar) plus lunch. got oska's mom cooked for us.
sis' place is hoty in summer (wooden), luckily oska offered his, at least sis' place wouldn't be naturally fused with 'cK' from peeps. felt v sorry for oska, but let him knoe not, otherwise there won't be next year's fun.

LoTR #3 @ 12.15 pm, v long movie (bladder killer!), but v cool. almost spent whole day for it, started queuing @ 11 am. no regret. as long as can still meet MrHumbleGentleMan face to face. yay!

BBQ @ sat (not sun). with remaja's peeps as well. good weather. nice food. great fun. finally my first 'exercise' in summer. still run as swift, only felt like a loser, heart's pumping like never bef. bah! should have exercised more at the mean time. will surely enjoy swimming in summer like tis, but can't stand floating for even 10 secs on water surface, shame! perhaps will wait for dad's free swimming lesson in May (err.. but it's almost winter by then).

couldn't wait to beach with peeps again next summer. no swimming (unless swimming lesson in May is happening) n proper dress-code, course.

post-beach: last service for youths in 2003. jimbo was good. have engaged him for more talks next year. peeps had dinner afterward @ Nasi Uduk. v tired, not joining. had KFC instead with sis n hubby (not mine, hers) n jimbo @ my place.

sun: body's aching (aoww!!). church @ 8 am. peeps had yum-cha, gave it a miss again tis time, went broke. lots of spending n eating-outs tis week (food movie food food movie food broke broke.. still broke). should warn peeps to use their common-sense! be more forward-thinking than food-thinking. at least if spent on more important things (e.g. donation, or else, never did it myself as well), can still tolerate.

next 3 days were spent with sis n andy (bro-in-law), staying over their place. went to DFO, Macquaire Centre n Birken Head Point for some clearance stuffs (ssh.. value bargains). guess i'm really broke tis time.

almost being run over (i mean andy's car) by motorcycle when leaving DFO, ffuih! guess will never have the guts for a driving lesson in the future. should fool others around for free rides rather, at least a buoy-friend who can drive safely (one more entry in 'MUST HAVE' list). am not that shallow! D'oh!

today: NYE, peeps meeting @ 5 pm, ling's place for bbq (see..!! told u!!), anyway, am late, have to be there in 10 mins (5 mins left now, been 5 mins since i wrote tis). still blur afterward, plan was peeps'd like to go to Mrs Macquire's Chair. guarantee won't be any spots, many had been partying around the harbour since noon, babe!

couldn't wait to see the buildings around Circular Quay being lazer-ed with colorful ones. must be v v cool. off.

at uni again, just picked up transcript n passport. cool, no hassles at the moment, so can cross them out of TODO list. guess will expect to go thru some while preparing for the rest of the documents (for pr), just regard them as part of growth, if only mild.

sis has been checking twice per day ever since (for 'must do' things in order to apply for one). guess am always no comparison at all to her, always slacker in dealing with things (arrghh). actually, haven't told her that i still haven't finished my homework, reading Booklet 6 (D'oh, why did i type it here!) no..no.. only 1/5 left, almost finish.. (always good to have a sis like her, one who is never tiring of 'groaning' when u r slack, hahha, kidding, she is much much softer than 'groaning' actually =).

last weekends had been several gatherings with peeps from IPC.
tis week as well i guess, ppl had arranged more gatherings in the name of food n movies on behalf of IPCYF, hoping to enhance the so-called (brotherly and sisterly in Christ) 'bonding', hahha.

sat: Pemuda's christmas cel. service was simple, yet serving the purpose. had domino's pizzas as consumption, only had a slice, quite full (coz toni pepperoni had gone when tried to grab 2nd slice, bah! whoever u r, pls consider others.. err me next time! for tonipep-sake, u r so unthoughful, even to a skinny tiny build like me! boo..)

sun: LoTR #1 @ sis place, followed by a short walk around the area for cool chirstmas lights. btw, fav characters of the middle-earthians' forces of light are aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) aka strider (gave him a MrHumbleGentleMan title) and legolas (Orlando Bloom), aka the MrCoolSensi (not emotionally, since he has keen eyesights and sharp ears as an elf). also arwen (Liv Tyler), born as the most beaut. of Middle-earth, she chose to doom herself for the sake of aragorn's immortal love, perhaps should label her as MissFooledByLove. if was given the choice, would surely choose to be MissFooledByLove than MissNeverEverExperienceOne (well, if only those 2 options available).

mon: had to meet min (group-mate) in front of QVB, 'robbed' him for .NET materials that he studied last semester (wonder when can really focus to learn bout .NET, so holidaymoon, nope mood). he was late for 15 mins, sun was quite scorching, so, decided to go to Body Shop, then CrabTree & Evelyn to apply some sunscreen. forgot to apply when leaving.

tues: life is just another chapter of lazy-hazy 'NotSureWhatToDo' day. have to repent.

wed: today, looking forward to dinner with peeps in kingsford, followed by christmas eve's service @ 9 pm.

thurs: Happy Christmas!! guess won't blog t'row. peeps will gather at sis' place again for LoTR #2 starting @ 10 am (??)

"She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21 - ESV

fri: LoTR #3 @ 10.30 am, eastgarden's hoyts. with peeps (again..).

sun: BBQ with peeps (AGAIN..?!? perhaps will get sick of meeting the 'same' peeps in 3 consecutive days, let see) @ Maroubra Beach, what time?? forget.. (luckily it's not on sat, at least can recharge a while, noO.. ipcyf @ sat)

at uni, been to Kinnokuniya, KFC (hunger stopover), Paddy's, then uni.. it was yesterday.

traveled from north with rose by bus at midday. staying over at sis place the nite bef. rose was doing her business that morning (yeah.. that 'business', not 'that-one' that one usually does in the morning. can't be more specific.. haven't a license from her to tell ya). still sleeping while they're out.

been slacked, had to desert rose for an hour waiting at bus stop! front door was locked, am all by myself. had to climb over thru back fence (1.3 m?). gee.. only piece of cake, am pretty good at tis. with slight training, could have been a professional someone who breaks into places, perhaps. but, tks, am well looked after by the generous Father in heaven (thru an earthly father, tho still have to pay for rent fees twice a month, and still travel by public transport).

good bargain at Kinnokuniya (15% off most items), plus free gift wrap (yeah, it's Christmas again in 6 days, btw, a cool song as well tis one, titled It's Christmas Again, heard it from 103.2, lots of lovely Christmas' songs airing) n a cool bookmark (from Japan's Bible Society).

skipped inti meeting two days ago. dev wondered if by any chances am tired 'emotionally'. a thoughful friend, tks God for a friend like her (& many more thoughful pals at IPC). but nope, just fully recover yesterday from temp. bodily strike. already going to places these two days. well dev, can't expect peeps to be saints, Cn-s still stink at times, perhaps ought to shower 'em in prayers, n ask God for a "Fragile" label, so if others stink, at least u won't break that easily, coz God is handling with care =) swipe out last sentence, a Cn is not supposed to judge others (u knoe that well.. am always stink at not being pedantic).

Paddy's for fruit. ought to eat two types of fruit daily, so, stock more of them. why suddenly am a freak! in this thing called well-being (perhaps won't last very long).

10 mins of stillness (in toilet, accompanied by wierd music, suddenly sounded like one in a film, to be exact, a haunted house music. gee, the radio, can't percieve the freq well. perhaps inside toilet, base level, not very good coverage for 103.2, tried to scan, only 107.3, that wierd station! can feel 'evil' is feel'n the air, why this very moment! when am about to check for exam result! freak'n out very much).

finally, uni torture is over! got 53 (haA! still remember, two days ago wrote about 53* hmn.. is this number in coincidence trying to tell me something? got to figure it out, perhaps by asking for a dream.. ehehhe.. sound bit new age, swipe this as well). btw, got to be thankful that i didn't fail this subject, tho worst in record, never mind, at least can be real tolerant & sensitive in future if others are stressed out bout failing a subject, gone through it bef. know that feeling. so, think will never (EVER) touch anything having to do with psych. anymore (in lifetime), perhaps will also sneeze lots in front of peeps study'n psych (coz they can read ur mind as well).

Yesterday was a day of dedication to look after my physical being (should have commemorated it every year). So, more graceful today having nourished myself with healthy diets & rest, tho still some reddish spots (itchy ones, scary, thought was invaded by chicken pox, altho only scarce, luckily not) leftover from yesterday’s state of un-well-being-ness. Wonder what they are (mustn’t be stress knots, am not stressed out at the moment, as in packed schedules, but ‘stress’ bit having no permanent job yet, perhaps).

Can’t imagine if invaded by chix-pox during summer like this. No bath + hot summer air + high temp. fever = disaster!! (real chicken charcoal), yum stuffs.

Yesterday’s healthy diets consisted of:

1 pack of Sanitarium Up&Go.
½ bunch of spinach as lunch dish (fried with prawns, tho only 2 hahha).
? catering leftover (red meat).
1 Orange (citrus type fruit prevent from cancer, so will eat as often in future).
1 banana (before collapsing into bed at night, for digestion.. hmn.. actually stomach sung that familiar ‘whale’ anthem again calling for S.O.S).
5 bottles of 600 ml water (getting sick of more n more frequent toilet time).
1 tablet of Vit. B Complexs (not used of taking supplement like this, always fear of long term side-effect, so, won’t continue again once this 1st bottle finishes).
2 * 3 tablets of YinChiao (to kiss good-bye flu & fever).

Abstract rest could be elaborated as:

08.40 am – woke up (yawnyawn), usually wake at 7.30 am (uni session - distraction of unfinished asg) due to am a light sleeper, then followed with QT.

09.20 am – flip flap-ing tv remote control:

Kid show?? – highlight was the Spanish’s Flamenco dance, involving hands clapping or hand raised above all over the air, and harmonized feet ‘stampeding’, like that of tap dancin’. cool.
Dawson’s Creek – don’t usually watch it, ppl think it’s COOL (?!?), hardly follow it, perhaps not a teenager anymore.
Oprah again – this time with Sting (why celeb lately), when asked about spirituality, said his ‘true religion’ was music & 53* (sex), scary, with his definition of ‘religion’ as ‘connecting to the world’.. boring #1.. (don’t intend to generalize, celebs tend to say weird things like that, made up as it appears that they worship the created things rather than the creator Himself). Perhaps the word ‘spirituality’ is ambiguous now depending on its usage, who is using it and what their needs are..
Huey’s Cooking Adventure – not that interested, still full, loving Jamie’s show bit more (winning the 2003 best Real Observational TV show that doesn’t involve competition, acc to ??).

can’t stand hot weather, take a walk around often (i mean inside the squared flat).

etc, etc – too many details can make you sick & vomit, don’t want to be sued for reading my blog.
…

08.15 pm – the (Sydney) mag time, lots of interesting stuffs bout Sydney (watch out for it every last week’s Wed of each month perhaps, buy the SHM and get the glossy mag for free).

Some highlights (acc to (Sydney) mag):
Bob Carr – Syd Man of the Year (NSW Premier).
Lucy Turnbull – Syd Woman of the Year (Syd Major), the originator of the theme: 2003 City of Light for Syd’s NYE celeb. Wonder if she’s a feminist =)
John Howard – Bore of the Year. no comment. boring #2.
St. Mary’s Cathedral – Best Church (perhaps the building? cause readers may misjudge if judging based on church attendees??).

10.00 pm – can’t sleep, so listened to R.C. Sproul’s “Providence of God” (CD player sucks, the buzz buzz sound led to often fast forward, so, didn’t get the message well).

11.30 pm – slept unconsciously tho gracefully in the midst of FM 103.2 MHz (got a new radio from i-win (flatmate), Orange-fair’s promotion stuff, treat as Christmas pressie).

trex a bit.. (tired.. previous was a typos)

must be resulted from last nite's stayin' up late, also days ago. shouldn't do again tonite. waking up to catch slight runny nose, wierd, not winter anymore err spring.. (perhaps changing weather, arrgh.. hot quite).

also, just had nice bath (bath = nice, always like having baths having out to some places), feel like sneezing & again (not good).

maroubra: to 'kon-jen', extending soon-to-finish passport. ending up having to spend more than 3 hours overall, plus the grocery shopping (out of plan bah!), have no cash with me to pay for new passport book (tis where it started), can't use bank card to eftpos there (service N/A), plus almost lunch time when reached there. so, have to be back one and half hours later, paying & pick'n up the receipt. thought of shopping for groceries.. the only option (bad idea)

btw, hardly notice any excitement in today's writing (perhaps sick)..

convo with konjen staff: appear to be quite 'bubbly' for a konjen staff (hAH!). didn't expect at all, had heard of some complaining bout them.. perhaps a male (usually nicer toword a female client) blah blah blah boring stuffs.. just nodding head, reply necessarily.. then he's making the point of liv'n ere is bit boring for him.. less chance making big buck. understand his point.. seems ok to me, after all, enjoying life ere in gen. perhaps indo people r used to working so hard for $.

shopping: ok as well, going slow as trying to 'waste' time to kill. err.. an 'incident' when in the seafood store (chain??)

cursed flu.. ears are bit 'deaf' (tympanum inside affected) & sound is husky (plus can't yell, not my style). ask the staff to clean the inside of fish. didn't get through her till the 3rd time repeating the same thing (mumble mumble). was my fault, she asked me before, didn't pay'n att at all.

post-shopping&konjen: 5 shopping bags equals 10 kilos or something (sigh, where's buoy-friend ('lifesafer') when u need one). so un-cool, got to drag shopping cart back and forth till bus stop.

bus way home: akk.. bus driver liking Saddam Hussein (poor old man, captured today), i mean the smile, very SD-style. shouldn't have looked at him, caught up, smile bit. off i went.

home: hungry, had lunch while Oprah's talk show with Madonna. heard her shared a thing unusual. then oprah re-summarized, happened to be asked bout life as a wed-couple (with Guy Ritchie), goes like this, she (Madonna) has learnt of giving unconditional love (thought only God can) during her wed-life, perhaps by different definition acc to her =).

fuiihh.. no wonder i'm trex, long day supposed.. switch on comp. to blog.

2nd post tonite!! whoo-hoo.. (try again) 2nd post tonite.. whoo-hoo!! read better =) .. as if they make any differences. durrr..

quite interesting the first time trying to figure out what to dump ere. guess will be like a rubbish depot, every thing that got registered in memory.. (minus the 'private' things.. shh.. precious moments with God.. yu knoe.. kind of too 'vulgar' to expose in front of other peepos.. involving those few scenes of cranky torrents of tears.. errr.. don't wanna like to be labelled as too-'mel' a person) hmn.. mind me.. ur fate.. (to have chosen sharing moi cutee lit'l world - blog).. just relax, won't brainwash you (if after all feel so, perhaps the the formula is working cool-effective.. i mean the 'charisma'.. err, not really click.. sorry), hmn.. got a thing to clear up ere before the thrill starts to 'shriek' you out hahha.. (lov'n it!)

yeah.. by no mean is wotever is written about a character ere ('vyie') is the true representation of the author herself (most of the time).. stop judging me thru what i share ere, or you'll be the poor lit'l missy/lad/bloke -wotever u want to call urself- to suffer the greatest lies ever created (by me, course).

dangerously the opposite, sometime (very not most of the time ?!?), humble opinion would like to 'marvel' at God's creatures for the wonderful characters that He places surround me. so, u'll find urself a 'star' ere (for good for bad, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health.. till death.. ah.. just suddenly couldn't escape to remember bout my sis' fab wed a year ago, must be a v v special event toward 'em, double ah.. u reckon who the bridesmaid is, kind of 'shocked' myself, phew, v v skletony liking the 'anorexic chronic sufferer'.. ops sorry.. my apology to whoever she is).

back to the 'you' subject.. so, if u feel bit pee-d off by my thought of u (how sweet!), feel free to be 'mad' at me (i mean, not the mad as in the real one that involves physical 'touch' or locking me 4ever inside ur heart err head =). yu knoe.. can just express ur madness ere in written, by posting a comment (or that #$0&^ !! sentences). it's kind of unhealthy to reserve what u so-wantedly say to me without having the chance to express them at the right time.

hAA!? v late now, n v long 2nd entries, hope u r not feeling bored.. got to sleep tight.. haven't read the Bible for today.. have to continue t'row.. nite!

ps. dun really enjoying the look of this blog (sorry, should have been thankful for a free service like this), it's just that the fonts are bigger than they need be, also the color scheme, prefer a simpler one. hopefully will have a chance to re-beauty it by 'stealing' a cool template from Movable Type. off.

He was better to me than all my hopes;
He was better than all my fears;
He made a bridge of my broken works,
And a rainbow of my tears.
The billows that guarded my sea-girt path,
But carried my Lord on their crest;
When I dwell on the days of my wilderness march
I can lean on His love for the rest.
