{Straddie}
I have plans for the upcoming weekend.
The Biotechnology faculty has organised a free, all- expenses paid trip to Stradbroke Island. For those who do not know where Stradbroke Island (aka "Straddie") is, it is one of those Great Barrier Reef like places, with plenty of sun, sea, sand....and bikini babes.
Here's a sneak preview:
Heehee, I know I know, you can't wait to get there too right?? I promise to enjoy it to the max on your behalf...and i'll take lotsa pics to go with it too...haha
And since its straddie for the weekend, it'll mean that I have to chiong my assignments this week...So I'm gonna work hard for now...

{My House}
Hey guys, the long awaited pics of my new house are out! Fresh, new, straight from the oven -- beware, they're HOT
My sunny little bedroom!!
My cozy little house =) Bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs.
Here's my block....53 Munro Street
A better close-up of how these units look like.
This is Munro Street. It is actually a little lane. In the background are blocks of "units" (they dun call it apartments here), and mine is similar to those.

{我又怎能不爱他呢？}
我在前些日子看了 Mel 的 Blog。
Blog 的一处是这样写着的：
“神爱我，所以即使我迷了路，他都会耐心地指引方向。 即使我不爱他，他依然会爱我，依然会照顾我。 我虽然行过死阴的幽谷，也不怕遭害。 因为你与我同在。”
我昨晚也在深思这一点。神在爱我的当儿，给了我两个选择。 我能选择去接受他与他的爱，或是拒绝这一切。二选一，无论如何，神都是像父亲一样，会爱着我，会寻回我的。
很多时候，我都像个小孩，都会叛逆， 会想去拒绝这位神。我的想法是:“选择是我的，生命是我的，我不需要，也不想要有一个神。。。。。”
但当我逾认识基督，我就逾发现他是如此的难于抗拒。“神爱世人，甚至将它的独生子赐给他们，叫一切相信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。”
神为我，不惜舍了一切， 我有怎能不爱他呢？
我又怎能不爱他呢？

{~New Addy~}
Just shiftted to my new aussie address on Saturday. Its a small and cozy unit, with 2 storeys (bedrooms located on top floor), and a sunny kitchen. A perfect bachelorette pad! (It even has two perfect bachelorettes stayin in it) New addy is: 3/53 Munro Street, St. Lucia, Queensland 4067, Australia. Its convenient too, just a mere 15 mins walk to UQ. No more rush hours for me.
Somehow, I managed to pack up my stuff (and feelings) from 36 Dickson Terrace within just 4 days. Arrived in aussie land on Tuesday 26 Feb, and was out of this address by 2nd March. In alot of ways im still packing my thoughts. Was pretty emotional all this while too. Especially during yesterday's prayer meeting. God help me tide over this emotional wave. I cannot do it by myself.
School is really busy this semester too. Already had my hands full with 2 major assignments, and more is coming.
Still a word of thanks to xuan and YH. i dun know if ure gonna read this entry, but really thanks. your presence on Saturday really cheered me up =)
And to God, thank you for all these too. I do not know why things happen as such, but I know that you are good.

{The House on Top of the Hill: A Chapter Closed}
That's all folks.
Yes, this is my last night here, in this setting, on this table, in this room. I'm leaving 36 Dickson Terrace. For good.
This is a friday night, and I had just came back from an orientation activity with J5 in Southbank. Had treasure hunt, and I must have walked like 8km, hiding the clues and rescuing the clues. For most part of the night, I was wondering around with a heavy heart. It was really lonely.
Went back on the Citycat. I was out on the deck the entire journey, and I could enjoy (for the last time?) Brisbane's night scenery. It went pass Goodwill Bridge, Kangaroo Point Cliffs and through the Story Bridge. As I took in the sights, a sense of nostalgia just washed over me. Just a few months ago, the beginning of December, I had spent nearly the whole night here, with Xuan, Yvonne and Ying Hao. We had walked all the way from Story Bridge, pass the cliffs (Where we saw a snake!! eeks!) across Goodwill Bridge into QUT. The memory is vivid. The laughter and jokes are vivid too. The companionship is unforgetable. And I was so much happier and carefree a couple months ago.
So I took the Cat, reached Brett's Wharf, and embarked on the dangerous journey to Hamilton. Dangerous cause the road is dark and has no pedestrains. Once, a car full of youngsters slowed and stopped beside me and someone screamed at me. It utterly freaked me out. Tonight was different though. It was a Silent night, a peaceful walk. Hopped on Rei's QLD7 at the bottom of the hill.What a coincidence. And I thought I'll never see him again. And I got my final wish to view the house again when he parked at the back garage.

{她越说 “不喜欢”，心中就越喜欢”。。。。}
想与大家介绍一个朋友。
姓何，名欣佩.
今年 21 岁。
女性。
身处澳洲布里斯班。
在布里斯班时最喜欢 complain and comment on her housemates。
嗜好：放学后到朋友家聊 housemates 的闲话。
性格：嘴硬心软，口是心非，自相矛盾 （这也是她最近才发现的）
欣佩的一些话：
I never thought this day will come when I have to move out.
想回头来，我几个月前还迫不及待想离开这地方。
当时我还每天 complain 周围人的举动，批评他们的作为。
现在才发现自己心深处其实是万分不舍。
口中时常说 "教 Derek 念书很麻烦”，
但现在再也没机会教时却想抓着他坐下写作业。
平时一直认为 “瑞” 对我有偏见，没礼貌，
可现在我却觉得他那当初的 “Boo!”游戏还有意思，
也更不会忘记我们一同上学的那一次。
平时我一见 “瑞” 就散，但如今。。。我再也没机会见到他了吧。
一同上学的那一次，也是最后一次吧。
我也认为太后有问题，不友善，没良心，但现在要离开，
却舍不得和她说再见，心中是多希望能和她聊一聊，
重新认识这位长辈。
我也一直觉得 roommate 是个没用的笨女人，
但如今我回到孤零零的房间，却觉得她也是个良伴。
我也终于明白了她做的一些事，是有苦衷的。。。。
心中之间一直觉得这里没一个是好人，
但如今却想再多看大家一眼，再拥抱一次。
心中之前一直想离开这座城堡，
但如今，却想再一次欣赏它的荣美。
后记：有些人就是要等到失去才懂得拥有。
嘴硬心软的欣佩更是如此。
她越说 “不喜欢”，心中就越喜欢”。。。。
