one whole week of event man!

Okok too many things have been happening man. SO many that I have to do backwardsly again. Alright we'll start from TODAY! ZION! WOOHOO!!!!! I woke up at around 11.40 (yes I managed to wake up...you'll know why later) and went to shower. Once I got out of the shower, I had lunch, and tidied my room. My room was in a HUGE mess man, HUGE mess. At 1.50, Edwin called to say he's reached. So Twinny and I went to his car and I sat infront as usual ^^.

Edwin went to pick Yuki up because she had no transport 'cos Faith didn't reply her smses and Nic has already made his own way down to UWA. I really think we toured round the whole Waterford area because we didn't exactly know where Yuki's house was. So when we finally found it and picked her up, Edwin went to pick Janice up. We were almost half an hour late I think. Maybe even longer than that.

At UWA itself, Twinny, Yuki and I went to the toilet because we needed to get ourselves ready; tie hair tidy ourselves. When we got out of the toilet, we were just in time for briefing. By Mavis. I was assigned to do the sitting on the right, offerings on the right and refreshment. After briefing was done, Mavis talked to me presonally about how I should do the sittings, not to take certain things to heart and so on. When she was done, both of us went in and the bulletins were here!

Halfway folding the bulletins, Gary asked Twinny and I to attend EduCell. So at 3.50, Twinny and I went for EduCell. Today wasn't Crystal or How Boon teaching. It was some guy I've never met. Educell was quite short this round. Man I haven't been to Educell in ages. Educell was about what Jesus did as a peacemaker. At 4.10, Twinny and I left 'cos we had to prepare for ushering.

Instead of going into the lecture theatre, Twinny and I went to the carpark to meet Felix. I asked him to run he walked. He smart la. So when Felix caught sight of us, I made my way back to the lecture theatre first, followed by Twinny. By 4.25, Twinny didn't go and open the door. So I started asking around when the door should be opened. Then we had our positions and Twinny went to open the door.

When I was at my position, Johnny was sitting on the table, resting after so many rounds of rehearsal.

Johnny: "Hey, I've never seen you before. Is this your first time ushering?"

Me: "Uh, no, today's my second time."

Johnny: "Oh, I see. I'm Johnny."

Me: "I'm Rynetta."

Johnny (shaking my hand): "Sorry?"

Me: "Rynetta."

Johnny: "Oh, Rynetta. Where are you from?"

Me: "Singapore."

Johnny: "Oooh. You're name's so unique I thought you're from Indonesia and was about to ask if you're from Indonesia. Haha"

Both of us laughed and I started greeting other people as they came in. The only time I felt really useful was when Janice signaled to me, asking me how many seats there are at my side and I signaled back three. Heeheehee. I greeted quite a few people like Dimas, and a few people I don't know. I didn't greet as much people as I did the other time when I was standing at the door.

Worship was fun. We sang "The Time Has Come", "Take It All", "From The Inside Out" and I don't know what's the name of the last song. After worship, I went to the back to prepare for offerings. When Ivy was done with her sharing, us ushers were invited down to stand in our positions. We did a prayer and the offering bags were passed. I was responsible for collecting. All ushers sat down when sermon started. Pastor Joyce Chen did sermon today because Pastor Patrick was sick. Sigh. Everyone pray for Pastor Patrick k? =)

In the middle of sermon, Ning and I left the lecture theatre to prepare refreshments. We had a chat about me joining usher, how I find ushering, and so on. That actually changed my point of view on her. I used to think she's this quiet and easily provoked girl but she's actually a nice and cheerful girl on the inside. ^^ Glad to serve with her.

She cleaned the container while I placed the cups on the table. She mixed the drinks and I poured. Easy. No food for refreshments again. Sigh. Third week already. When we were done, we started walking around. I paced up and down the lecture theatre waiting for service to end. I was told that someone was doing a testimonial today. No wonder today's service seemed a little longer.

As everyone started leaving the lecture theatre, I went up to Wei Xian to pass him a present from his angel. I was introduced to his sister-in-law. =) Then I took some money from my wallet and dashed out to the Rezource booth to buy th Plantshakers' album. WOOHOO!!!!! PLANETSHAKERS! AND HILLSONG! YEAH!!!!!

Briefing after service. I asked about where to stand when worships starts. Everyone shared their view. In the middle of briefing, Boon Whye came to ask about head count. It was really funny 'cos he just suddenly popped up and everyone was staring at him. Garry was funny also 'cos he was saying how he couldn't see how many seats Ning was signalling because he didn't have his specs on, as usual. Lol.

After briefing, Nic, Janice and I went out to clean the refreshment table. The table was pretty wet. Nic cleaned the container while I wiped the table while Janice threw away the un-drank water. Then I went to change. And off we go to Taka for dinner! Twinny, Petrus and I sat in Felix's car. YES, FELIX CAME TO OUR SERVICE TODAY!!!!!

When Felix reached the city, we realised that we were not eating at the Taka near the train station so I had to call someone to ask for the exact location. Then we saw Edwin's car so Felix followed Edwin all the way into CPP. Smart.

At Taka, I ordered chicken karaage. Woohoo! It's so gonna be so good man! While waiting, we crapped. I was stoning out, going "where's my food...I need my food...why's my food still not ready..." I was practically whining all the way. Shall learn not to whine man. It's a bad bad baaaaad habit. Meanwhile, I went to take two plates of sauces. One mayo, one chili. Then when I sat down, I realised my mayo wasn't enough so I went to get more. When I stood up, my alarm rang, so I quickly went to take my food. FINALLY!!!!!

Felix stole one of my chicken. That id....boy! Kevin sat infron of me, facing me. So the whole time when I was eating, when he was waiting for his food, he was dipping his chopstick into my sauce and eating it. Siao one la he. When his alarm rang, he was so high la. Lol funny. And we all ate!

When dinner was over, everyone stayed in Taka crapping. Bijia was made to do the sailormoon hand sign. Haha freaking funny. Petrus was tricked by Felix to do some hand game. Dominic and Kevin played arm wrestling. We practically fooled around la. When Kevin won Dominic, the whole table was cheering. Sooooo noisy.

We were supposed to go Tea Fusion for bubble tea after dinner but too many people couldn't go and I was too tired so plan failed. Everyone go home! Twinny, Petrus and I went home with Felix. Petrus came to our house first because Felix was going out again later on to clubbing so on the way Felix can drop Petrus home. On the car was really funny because Felix was making me sing with my fake voice, saying I sing better using my fake voice. The whole journey home all of us were singing oprah man! Funny hell.

When we reached home, Petrus, Twinny and Felix played daidee. I went to shower and came here to blog. I haven't stopped since then. Petrus has gone home. And it's already 11.20. Wow.

K time for yesterday. I went to school early as usual. I went to library to get some research done. I was too lazy to do my notes so I decided to photocopy pages from the reference books instead. I wasted a lot of money photocopying those pages because I printed some wrongly and some came out halved. Pissed me off pretty much I tell you. Pfffff!

When I was done, I went to the canteen to check if Shelina and Twinny were still there. They weren't there anymore so I went to the gym. In the gym I only saw Petrus and Rifai. I was like "WHERE'S SHELINA AND ANNSLEY?!?!?!?!?!" Rifai told me they went home to get Annsley's wallet. Correction. Shelina followed Annsley home to get Annsley's wallet because Annsley forgot to bring her wallet when she came to school today.

So I asked Rifai if he was tired and he got the hint and let me play. But I found out he was really really tired because Petrus made him run up and down the court. When I played with Petrus, I experienced what Rifai experienced. I really ran up and down. I MANAGED TO SMASH ONCE! WOOHOO!!!!! I sweat so much la can. Ok not as much as the amount of sweat I sweat in Singapore 5 minutes after I step out into the sun but it's the most since I came to Perth. Good exercise!

After break, I went for english lesson. I was really really tired. While watching the video, I slept for about 10 minutes. Surprisingly, I could still answer a question on a part of the video where I slept through. Smart right? Woohoo! Haha. Lunch time, I ate pistachio nuts with Ryan, May and Petrus in the gym. Then went for accountings.

Accountings was tough this time. We covered everything for the ledger accounts. From depreciation, to prepaid, to trading to everything! I was so super lost can? So I just copied and pasted from the board without understanding anything. In other words, my accountings is a sure fail subject already.

After accountings, I met everyone outside library. Da Yong went home to put his bag so we sat around to wait. When Da Yong was finally back, we made our way to Curtin Bus Station. We took bus 99 to the train station and took the train down the city. When we reached city, we decided to go Taka to eat. I ordered Karaage (now you know why I ordered that just now). It was superb! Never tried any chicken that was that good.

We then made our way down to Tea Fusion, where Ryan was waiting for us to play dota. Ok, not us, but only the guys. So when we reached Tea Fusion, Nic and Ryan was there. I also saw one college friend. I ordered peach smoothie with sago. Not bad. Quite sweet. I miss my taro smoothie! The rest of the gang played cards while I sat in one corner reading magazines. It's just too sad I don't know how to play dai dee.

At around 10.50, the boys finally came up. Ryan and Nic ordered another cup of bubble tea. It was fun sitting with them because they were talking about their game. They were saying about Derek and Ryan. Derek used a character called Tiny. That character could grow in size using some item. So when Derek killed Ryan, his character grew. Ryan said Derek's character ate viagra. Wa lao eh freakin' funny la. Then we talked about gunbound. Nic was a wand la and he say he noob I pro! That...that...that argh!!!!!

We left Tea Fusion at around 6.30 and made our way down to Wellington bus station. Only Petrus, Nic, Twinny and I (out of the whole gang) were going for cell. On the way there, Nic and I were talking about Mr. Calculus. Then Twinny was really really blur. Ha! We met Stephen at the bus station. The bus came late by about 5-7 minutes.

In the bus, we sat in one row at the back. From the left to right, Nic, me, Twinny, Stephen and Petrus. When we were in the bus, Twinny was playing with Stephen and Petrus. ALL OF A SUDDEN, Twinny SCREAMED. The bus driver stopped the bus in the middle of the road, opened the cage, turned back, and asked "are you ok?" Woah lao eh Nic and I were so super pai seh we turned to look another way la can! Then Nic and I moved to the front to sit, pretending we don't know Twinny.

At Esplanade bus port, we bumped into May. When she got onto the bus, Nic and I were stopping her from sitting at the back. Twinny, Stephen and Petrus were trying to tempt her with sweets and chocolates. I went "Don't accept offerings from strangers, May!" Woah lao eh that's officially the craziest bus ride I ever had la can?

When we reached Michelle's house, cell started. We had a round of introduction, followed by the most interesting thing that happened to you over the week. I wanted to say what happened on wednesday (you shall know later) but Nic went to say. Argh! So I resorted to saying what happened to Twinny after Taekwando on tuesday (you shall know later also). Everyone was laughing like hell man. Wahaha!

Then was games by Nic. The whole purporse of the game was to eat Weat-Bix. I only ate one and a half compared to the guys' 4/5/6. Haha. We had worship, then the last session for 40 days of community. Michelle did the speaking instead of watching Pastor Rick Warren on a vcd. After prayers and stuff, DINNER! Dinner wasn't exactly like dinner. There were only fruits and cookies with chocolate dip. UNTIL Michelle took out shepherd's pie and fish fingers. I couldn't eat man, after all I ate in the day.

When we were done with dinner, at around 10.40, Nic, Petrus, Stephen, May, Twinny and I left for Max's house. Why? Because it's Jazper's 18th birthday!!!!! When we reached, Jazper reached too. He was blindfolded and arrive in Max's car. He was then made to sit on the roof of Max's car and have a ride. It was so darn farnie. When he was back, he took off his blindfold and everyone wished him happy birthday.

In Max's house, there was a cake for Jazper. Jazper's face was decorated with the cake's cream. He looked so darn cute. Ha! Then throughout the whole night, I was sitting on the couch, stoning. Max came by asking "Are you ok? You look drunk.." Dorts! I haven't drank for ages la! I was just really really tired. Max helped me throw away my cup. Thanks, dude. =) At around 12, we finally left.

Edwin sent Petrus home first at riverton. After sending Petrus home, somehow or another, Edwin got lost and ended up in the city again. On the way back to Curtin area, it was super funny. Stephen totally knocked out. He was sleeping and his head was dropping. Twinny was holding his head up for him the whole time. Then Stephen woke up a little. Then Annsley slept on his lap while Stephen leaned on Edwin's sit and they looked like puppies and were super duper cute.

After sending Stephen home, Twinny and I finally managed to reach home at around 1.30-2am. Now you know why I was scared about waking up the next day. That was the longest car ride I had in Perth. Amen.

On thursday, first lesson was calculus. First question Ma Ning asked me was that why I didn't go for calculus on tuesday (you shall know later ^^). Lol. Lesson was pretty boring. He was obviously in a much better mood today. Other than concentrating to Harry explaining integration, the mood was lighter. We chatted and laughed. Then I asked if he was free on thee 28th of May; Xman 3!

Ma Ning: "See first.."

Me: "Call your friends to go with you la."

Ma Ning: "My friends don't watch movies."

Me: "Other friends lo."

Ma Ning: "No girlfriend."

Me: "FRIEND not girlfriend."

And we ended up laughing. Oh ya the above conversation was in chinese.

After calculus, I went to the gym. I had no more lesson! When everyone left for lessons, I played a few rounds of badminton. I wasn't on form. Couldn't catch lotsa balls. One reason was because my wrist hurt from bowling the previous day (you shall know later ^^").

After break, applicable maths. I asked Ma Ning again if he was going for the movie and he said no. =_=" Thanks ar. So we had a revision test on time series. Obviously I didn't do well because it was a surprise test and I didn't study and I hated time series. Argh! Then we continued with sets. I was really pissed with the venn diagrams because I kept making mistakes and I couldn't get the answer. So in the end I gave up and stoned through the last 15 minutes.

Break. Skipped english 'cos english was research again in the library and it's almost impossible for me to research in a group/class. Now you know why I chose to go to school early to do research alone even without Shelina and Twinny. I played a bit of badminton. Improved a bit. Nic was saying how I improved a lot since I started playing badminton few months ago. Hehe. Thanks. At around 5.15, Twinny and I went home.

WEDNESDAY. Went to school early to do research. Only managed to research on one book. Was too slow. Then went to the canteen to find Shelina and Twinny. Then we went to the gym to play badminton. Then I went for accountings with Raymond. Then lunch. Gym closed. AAAAARGH. In the canteen, we were thinking of what to do after school and we decided on bowling!

English. Slept a little. After english, went to meet them outside library. Shelina, May and I walked Twinny to her bio class first then we went off for bowling! Took bus 34 down. We payed for 3 games. 21 bucks. For the first game, I didn't do very well. Total of only 12 points. Sorry la, I only played once and that was close to four years ago can.

Second game I scored 20 plus points. Third game 50. Improvement! Applause, please, thank you! During the games, I wasn't in a very good mood. Everyone kept asking me what happened to me that I couldn't help it and bursted into tears. Shelina and Da Yong comforted me. Thanks, really. You guys were great.

We left the place at 6.30, realising we had no bus home. We only planned our way there and not back. When we were at the bus stop, Nic called to ask for the last bus' time. Ryan stood in the dark calling someone. For once everyone though Ryan disappeared because Ryan was wearing all black and his bag was black and he was standing in the dark under a tree. Stupid Ryan.

In the end, Nic, Da Yong, Derek, Dominic and I walked home. The rest took bus at Carousel to the city to take bus home. On the way home, we went to Utopia for bubble tea! I ordered strawberry smoothie. Not bad. Not as good as watermelon smoothie. Nic's red bean smoothie was terrible. Da Yong's kiwi tea was worse. So the guys walked me to my door step. I refused at first but they insisted because I was a girl and it was late and dark. Hehe. Home sweet home.

On tuesday, first lesson was english. Do research in library. Of course, I didn't do any research. Was surfing the net instead. Then break. Didn't manage to play badminton. Then went for applicable maths. Then after applicable maths was lunch. Then no lesson. Didn't manage to play any badminton 'cos some people were hogging the court the whole day. PLUS I wasn't in a very good mood to start with. I was thinking of my parents. Half way through I couldn't take it I went to the toilet to cry.

After wiping my tears away and tidying myself, I went back to the gym and Shelina started asking about me. Again, I bursted into tears. I just couldn't take it. I missed my parents too much. I skipped calculus because I didn't feel like it. I was too down. I played badminton till around 5 and decided to go home first because something bad happened between me and Jay and it was pretty unpleasant. It left me in a very awkward position. Thankfully he was ok with me the next day. Hallelujah.

When I reached home, Yuki was in my house too becuase she was going to taekwando with Annsley. So I was telling Felix and Twinny about Jay and I and I got so worried and scared and guilty and sad. Yuki overheard and hugged me for encouragement. I cried in her arms. Twinny asked if I wanted to go taekwando with them. I decided to go since I wasn't in a very good mood.

At the taekwando place, Yuki and I felt really shy 'cos it was our first time. We did meditation, sit ups, jumping jacks, jumping, running on the spot and arm wrestling (I did it with kate). Then I learnt some white belt patterns. It was fun. Hehe. Sparring was fun too. Sam and Thomas were really nice. So was Timothy. At the end of it, Annsley specifically said "bye" to Timothy. Felix immitated her in a gay way when we left the place. That's what I said during cell on friday. Ha!

On the way back (as in sending Yuki home), Yuki kept trying to point out the moon to Felix and Twinny. Only I managed to see. When Yuki reached home and it was our turn to go home, I saw the moon and pointed it out. FINALLY they saw. Then, home sweet home!

Wow that was a lot of blogging again. I can't seem to blog everyday huh. Too busy. K it's 12.43am now. Time to go prepare my presentation on tuesday. Bye!
