Surviving…
Hello people!! I’m back..woohoo! Well, here’s my current situation. I just got my student card, so I finally have internet access in the library. But the computer which I bought last saturday hasn’t arrived yet. Apparently one of the technicians broke his rib or something. Sigh…how unlucky. So I have to wait until next week to get it. But I guess I shouldn’t complain. The past few days, I’ve been spending the nights reading my Bible and talking to family and friends. I never thought I’d say this but thank God for 3 (phone service provider). Haha! Nevermind that their customer service is super lousy, but at least the plan is good, and I have reception where I’m living. That’s good enough for me.
My room is not too bad. It doesn’t have an ensuite bathroom, but my room is next to the bathroom anyways so its ok. So far I haven’t seen anyone around my hallways. I think they prolly haven’t come back from hols yet but that means they are old students or they would have to attend orientation. The campus food is much better than expected. I can top up as many times as I want. Haha! and they also serve dessert like fruit, jelly or cake.
Ok. So enough about me. How’s everyone back home? Thanks to everyone who sent me bye bye sms-es and online messages. Really appreciate it. I’m so lucky to have such good friends from church, uni, and capoeira.
A huge shout out to Josh and Pris for helping me so much for the past few days. I’d still be struggling if not for u both. ARIGATO!!! We took a coupla pics while they were here in GC with me, but I’ll only post them up as soon as I get my computer.
To dad and mom, I miss u both so much! Good luck with the dancing lessons. Teach me when I get back ok? And to Khee Khee n Wai Choong, hope u both are doing well n I miss you too. You should have gotten 3. haha! To all my friends and my ‘Family’ in Sydney, I hope you guys are studying hard and living passionately for God. I’m trying to make new friends over here, but so far progress has been slow. Maybe tomorrow when we have the orientation day for the med students it’ll be much better. Love u guys heaps!
Oh, and people, if u can, I have a prayer request. I’m feeling a bit sick these few days. Sinus problem again. Giving me headaches and all. I’ve been taking medication but not feeling much better. So pray yea? Coz prayer is the strongest and best medicine. And if u guys have any prayer requests please lemme know. If not, I’ll just be praying very general prayers. Oh btw, when I was coming over I didn’t have any pressure pain for the first time ever. Woohoo! So thanks guys for praying for me and all glory to God.
Well, take care everyone. Thanks for reading. God bless!

Andrew,
You’re very welcome…it has been my sheer pleasure to have done what I did for you and with you - wouldn’t trade any of the past few days (and years) for anything, ever.
Get well soon…praying for you, as always.

Missing you very much, dudu boy. It’s great to be updated with the happenings of your busy life online. Maybe 3 is a good idea, but having 2 phones isn’t
Love you lots!! God bless!!

Hiez!! Good to know that you’ve arrived safely. re the food, they are usually good for the first few weeks of uni. Then erm later u tell me how’s it la yea. hhehehheee………when I was at New College in UNSW, it was good at first but then later kinda the same & must be careful how they serve them too, but I’m not that picky with food but still cautious, so it’s good. =)
Gotta go now! Have loads of assignments. Sighz…U take care yea. Prayer works MIRACLES! =D God Bless!
