I feel so...free!!!

w00t! All finished! I was so relieved to walk out of Randwick Racecourse at midday yesterday after my last exam. Grins all round. The last two weeks had been torturous to say the least with so many late nights (including 2 all nighters), appetite for main meals gone (but not for snacks), hardly any exercise, my lifestyle just turned upside down. Ok, maybe my study skills are pretty bad so I deserved it. Either way, only 2 more sessions to go before I leave uni. Can you imagine that? It was only not that long ago on one hot January morning that I walked into UNSW and did my enrolment...As they say,'Time flies when you are enjoying it' (Huh? How does that work? I'm NOT enjoying it. Oh well, it's just 'Time flies' then. Hehe)

The past 24 hours had been crazy. After I came home, the plan was to type a covering letter for this job and get some sleep before cell group. But I ended up spending a long time typing the letter and then Albert asked me to shoot some hoops. Not having touched a basketball since high school, I said yes and we went to Tin-Lok's place to shoot around.

Dinner was at Chatswood with Charissa and Charmaine and since it was Thursday markets night on Victoria Ave, we had crepe from one of the market stalls. I've never tried savoury crepes so I ordered a beef provencale (What's provencale?? Can't they just keep it simple and call it Beef Crepe??). It was more filling than I thought it would be. Probably too much grease....

Cell group at Sam's place was pretty short as only 6 people attended. We did 'pray for country' night and this time it's Saudi Arabia (see Website) and also all the other missions happening this summer. Did you know, in Saudi Arabia, you will get persecuted if you are discovered to be a Christian? Leaders get hunted down and are subject to beatings, imprisonment and execution. Scary stuff!! We are so blessed that none of those things happen here. After praying it was time to check out Sam's brand new plasma TV and play some Need for Speed Underground. Highlight was probably doing drag racing in 4WD. Imagine doing that in Sydney on the M4 or something...

dude the same thing used to (or maybe still does) happen in china. If i remember right.. there was this really touching movie about it.. based on a true life story or something.. you should watch it called "china's cry"
i think that's the title.. but i haven't seen it since primary skool so i could be wrong.

tsk tsk tsk Kam...
wouldn't playing n4s:u be un-christian? considering that you should try to steer clear of doing things that harm or influence people to do harmful things
you might not do it yourself, but many young people would go out and drag race after having played n4s:u, you guys should have been protesting against it, not having a go yourselves

dude, in the words of my fathers - yes i have more then one. "leave the kid alone". he's human and games like these just helps relieve his violent behaviours, u'know whacking a pillow instead of going out there with a hot Skyline or something. Sure kids try and be copy cats but you can't blame the game.
Well what i'm trying to get at is at least he is trying.. though trying won't get u to where u want to be.
thumbs up to jeff
