I had a pretty long weekend. Where to begin?
On Friday I had classes til' 2.30pm then I headed to Castle Hill Towers with Krsytel. It was fun hanging and shopping with her. Even tho' we did part ways to buy different things at times. (We were running short of time as malls here close really early) Our main goal was to buy clothes and shoes for our choir uniform.
Yup thats right, I was on the choir for the first time last Sunday! =) It was an awesome experience. It was my first time on the stage. It was hard to find the tops for choir even those the colours are really basic ones (light blue, light yellow, light grey, light green), but with them having to be at least elbow length and not low cut was difficult to find.
As part of the choir, you get a backstage pass. And this also allows us to access the green room which is like where there are makeup and changing rooms and a lounge for the choir. There is food provided for us. Including gummy bears and celery sticks! hehe.. Jad was leading for the morning. And it was really great, I'm rostered on the two morning services every week now. I have to report at 7am in the morning. *WOW!*, I know...
Okay, I know I skipped Friday and Saturday night. Back to Fri night, we had a Chinese New Year gathering at an uncle's place. Even tho' this is sort of like going 'visiting' as this person had an 'open house', I still felt like the Chinese New Year spirit isn't here, its really not like back home. =( On Saturday night, the Asian community at Hillsong had a lil' get together to makan and everyone dressed up in like chong sam and stuff. But i didn't cause I didn't have mine with me. hehe... Then last night, it was my guardian's turn to host a chinese new year dinner. All the food so reminds me of home.
I moved a queen-sized bed into my room today. It looks so much better, well at least it feels better. I'm used to queen-sized beds okayy... So yea. I'm happy! =) We did a lil' bit of shifting of the bed and the study table to have a peek...
It looks messy I know, but its not okay! =P

This is like my first Chinese New Year away from home =( Its different, because I don't get to have an open house or do visiting that I normally do every year. And plus the ang paus! Sniffs. Not saying that I didn't receive any here, in fact I did! But you get my point.. hehe. But u did have a fantastic new year eve dinner. We had steamboat. Check out this electric steamboat wok-like thingy. 
I'm so used to the gas ones. hehe. And this morning she cooked hot cross buns and char siew pau! (I told you they were good cooks! hehe...)
And tonight my guardian also cooked up an excellent hearty meal. It was so yummy. Krystel came over after college today to follow me to Leadership Vision night. And I just got back from it, so I'm really poofed after the extremely longg day. The past two days have been by far the longest...

First day of College

Whoaa! I feel like I've been sitting down all day. The first two weeks are intensive weeks where all the streams are combined. So basically we just listened the whole day to lectures and stuff. (It can be tiring, I can assure you)
The coolest part was taking attendance. We don't do it by raising our hands when our name is being called out or anything of that sort. Instead, we all have Student Cards that have barcodes on them and we just simply scan ourselves in (in order to say we're present) like on like barcode readers. I feel so modern! hehehe...
My was like from 9am to 4pm. And tomorrow it begins even earlier at 830am! Ahhh.. Well that's college life for you.
I attended a connect group this evening. It was different then from back home. My leader is so pumped and on fire. She is so cool. I love her already. =) I can't wait for our next gathering.
Well I don't have anything else to say, so I best be heading to bed now. I'm exhausted after the longg day!

The weekends are usually more free and easy for me unless I have to serve in Church.
Yesterday I went shopping at Westfield. It was raining practically the whole morning yesterday so we have pretty cool weather. But nevertheless the shopping was gggreat! I didn't buy many clothes (as many as I usually do) hehe, but I did buy a nice wooly jacket was really nice and it was worth the price. I'm happy bout that one! And I got a nice penticoat(i think thats what you call it?) type of dress too from SoulFresh (a pretty new brand). And not forgetting some shorts and tops from Lonsdale (influenced by my sayang hehe...)
Today we have another Asian Church service. And then, we might be watching a movie. I hope for it to be 27 dresses! I wanna watch that so bad. And until today I still haven't watched Enchanted! =( I so wanna buy the DVD! Ahh!
And yes, there is EasyWay here in Sydney too! =D Here I come, Green tea with rainbow jelly!
