Thank God my housemate is back already, so I've got internet to use! haha!

So I'm up nice and early today. erm... 11am. lol. but classes start 4pm today. monday is a slack day. I like! :)) Hmm... But I think I should go to school early later cause I need to get my student id done... apparently this one lasts for 3 years! amazingg. Dont' have to keep changing now. And I need to borrow this video for one of my gen ed courses. Arugh. Why can't they just put the video online or something hor? so mafan. I bet everyone's gonna chiong for the video lahh...

Anyway, I went to church yesterday. It was reallie good. Friends keep u from being too homesick, which is gr8t! Seriouslyyy. And last night Josh preached about the joy of Life and death. When Paul was in prison he was happy... he said "to live is Christ, to die is gain" Both are a joyous occasion:
1. he will be delivered/rescued out of prison and therefore can cont preaching the gospel. and sharing the gospel gives him joy.
2. joy from departing and being with the Lord.

If I were Paul, I'd gladly choose 2. lol. But Paul in Philippians 1:24 says that it's more necessary for you that I remain in the body. and because he's convinced of it, he will remain in the body. which is not to die... look at v. 26: "so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me." wow. selfless eh... I wonder if I can be that selfless...

and another thing Josh said made me think whether I reallie have true friends... "Paul is happy while he's in prison because of his partnership with Philippi. Doing things together brings him joy. It's true that when you do stuff, it's always better to have company. Eg, when you play golf alone - if you get a hole in one, no one's there to rejoice with you... and if you tell ur friends, they probably won't believe you, eh? lol. and just before this, I was telling my friends during the girlie get-tog that I dont' like doing stuff alone in Aust... cause it's such a weird feeling, but I'm learning - sometimes I can grocery shop alone... Go for classes alone... But it's not nice lah huh. Being alone SUCKS! :) I wonder if I've friends back home who misses me everytime I fly to Aust? Like the Philippians misses Paul when he's away...?

Josh also compared the pursuit of happyness (the american dream) with the joy Paul faces. Are they the same joy? He ended off with "if you live for material wealth, then to die is lost"

Ok, so my post seems a lil' incoherent, but I'm such in the morning. so spare me. lol. Now I shall go grab some food, and plan my day. don't wanna waste it sia...

OH WAIT! Did I mention, I've got 2 new housemates... tian ah. Apparently they're both Australians - one's black and the other is on the bigger side. But they both don't look very Australian except they do speak like them. lol. The problem is... they're super dirty lahhhh.. :S:S like walk around the house with shoes, use the toilet until super dirty - like remnants of shit in the bowl... pads with blood in the bin (without a lid and they don't line the bin with trash bag!!!!!)... gross lah... :S And I've to share with both of them. sigh... :S Anddd they use my clothes rack without my permission.. cause my clothes rack was in the house right.. and my socks were hanging there lah.. they happily brought it outside and didn't bother to bring it back... and now my socks are covered with cobwebs... hohoho! amazing lahhhh. *pouts*

ookaaayy, done complaining. gonna go do something more productive! :D update again soon on my first class of the semester! lol.
