LOVE.As I was folding my pants a minute ago, I suddenly thought to myself: I want to love my parents not because I want them to love me in return.
I want to love my parents not because I want them to love me, care for me or take care of me in return. I want to love my parents because they deserve my love, my obedience, my filial, my respect and my honour above all else except for Someone..
God deserves ALL love, obedience, respect, filial and honour above all else. He deserves them more than my parents. God says to honour our parents. But God also said we should love Him more than we love our parents, more than we love anything.
Amen.

WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!Other than Wei Xian and Shelina, NO ONE ELSE REPLIED MY EMAIL OR MESSAGES. So only three people contributed to what Crystal wanted me to do. And I'm assuming I'll be presenting because since only Wei Xian and Shelina replied, I doubt either of them would want to present. Shelina won't be going because she has work. Wei Xian has to do PA. So? Only me left lor. What can I do?????
Sigh. But then again I don't know if I should start writing out the thing because what if someone last minute contributes??? Super sian can. Sigh.
Today is a super unproductive day. Was too tired to do anything. Yep, you don't have to start guessing. I've been sleeping 4-5 hours every night. Back to my usual days eh. Shall sleep super long tonight so that I can have enough energy to serve God tomorrow. Going to service on Sunday too because of some *ahemahem* reason that shan't be mentioned haha. Not really a surprise but still, better not let him know first haha.
I've got a super super busy week ahead. Next monday I'll be goin gback to school to get back my mock papers. At 2pm, I need to rush down to St. Cats for my interview. Then tuesday I'll most probably have to go back to school again because going to St. Cats at 2pm means I'll not get back my accounting paper. THEN in the afternoon my parents are coming. Yes, again. For my graduation. My parents are even planning on going out for dinner with my homestay family. To return the treat.
Wednesday's my graduation night. The timing is just pure cacated. Wednesday is 5 days away from my first exam, is a ZLM day and is my friend's birthday. I so can't wait for exams to be over. I WANT TO PARTAYE!!!!! I mean, I'm in a partying mood now already but this "partying mood" is killing the crap out of me. So darn tired man.
Btw, before I got to use the internet, I "blogged" offline. 'Cos I was too tired and bored. Heh. Here goes:This is sooooo boring!!!!! I'm so freakin' tired and I don't have the mood to study AT ALL. How sia. Only three days of studying and I'm dead already. I'm so so so glad I'm not born two years earlier. The 2004 Calculus mock exam was so freaking difficult la! Now I know why Joshua Lim didn't take up Calculus. Wei Xian's beside me reading what I'm typing LOL.Another 45 minutes before Joshua Lim makes his entrance. Wonder if he's coming from home or from class. But then again, knowing him, I'm pretty sure he's coming from home. Even if he has lessons, he'll definitely still come from home 'cos I doubt he'd wake up early just to go for lectures. He himself said a few days ago that he doesn't even wake up before 10am now. That explains why he's only coming to Reid Library at 11.James Oval is really empty. Everyone's at lessons. But there are still random people walking pass the window. Sigh. I'm so so so freakin tired. I need to DANCE. I feel so fat and lazy now after no dancing for...a month plus? I mean there was ONCE I tried dancing in my room but I only did those basic barre works and a little of pointe. That was totally nothing as compared to the daily dance practises we had for SFAS.Wei Xian's reading again haha. I guess he's bored too. He, too, is tired. Don't know if I passed him the disease or if he's already tired before he came like me. I AM TIRED AND SUPER BORED. Can I stop studying for Calculus already? It's so demoralising la can! I couldn't do a single question without referring to the answer sheet. This is gonna sound pretty ironic but I think sometimes accounting is easier than Calculus. Better say good luck to me if I really make it into UWA’s mathematical science.I feel fatfatfatfatfat. But then again, I can't believe I used to be 10kgs heavier when I first came. BUT I still want to exercise!!!!! MUST start rock-climbing next year. Drag people to go with me. People that know how to rock-climb. So they can teach me. Hopefully Mishi will still be around next year to teach me.I WANT MY MONEY BACK CAN. I haven't paid for my homestay fees which was due last Saturday. And I'm not going to pay until I GET MY MONEY BACK!!!!!I'm being totally random at the moment because I'm tired, bored and I don't have the mood to study. My eyes are barely open. Help. I feel like sleeping. But I don't want Joshua Lim to come in and say I'm a big time slacker.Eh. If only I can type this fluently during exams. I mean write. I'm typing this in less than....5 minutes? But this length can easily take me half an hour to write during an exam. I'm bored. Can I go for lunch now? When I just had breakfast close to two hours ago and it's only 10.25 now lol. In other words, the answer is no.Helphelphelphelphelp I'm freakin' tired! I want to go shopping! I want to watch movies!!!!! I WANT TO GO HARBOURTOWN!!!!!!!!!!Guess what. I just saw Andrew. Saw him walking pass James Oval. Called him. He came into the library. Followed me down to the geology section. Now he just left to go use the comp at other level. And this morning I was thinking why I haven't been bumping into him when he's a UWA student.Talking about bumping into people, I saw Keni. Like on Wednesday. Haha.Time check: 11am
Joshua Lim is here. Haha. Just slept for 30 minutes. Heh.
Now you guys know how random I can get when I'm tired. Sigh. We went to Subiaco for lunch. Max, Jason, Joshua, Jasper, Eunice and I. Yep, the guys couldn't stop teasing me. Siiiiigh. But lunch was good, though. Some Japanese restaurant. I had sashimi. So totally awesome! Only for A$9.90. You guys should go man, seriously. Lunch was short. AND near haha. Yep. Short for one and a half hours and near for Subiaco. LOL.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR COMBINED CELL!!!!!

SUPER DUPER UBER CACATED LAH CAN!!!!!!!!!!Finally blogger decides to let me blog. But no, that's not what's cacated. At least not the one I wanted to talk about haha. Today I was at Esplanade bus port and the next bus 33 was scheduled to come at 5.30pm. I waited at the stand from 5.21pm and the bus didn't come at all. Waited for close to 45 minutes for the 6.05pm bus. Trust me, it was a big test of patience.
Studied at UWA yesterday and today. Felt so super duper uber productive man! I did accounting yesterday. One and a half paper. And Calculus today, another one and a half paper, which nearly killed me. The 2005 Canning College calculus mock exam was still ok. But when it came to 2004's mock, I tell you I gave up halfway. Wasn't totally because of its difficulty that I gave up. I also lost my concentration. Ended up going to the cafeteria to lim kopi with Jason, Wei Xian and Mishi.
Had lunch at Tiamo yesterday with Jason and Wei Xian. I was so so so uber happy man, although it was awefully sinful. The wait for the food was long BUT it was worth it! The pasta was AWESOME. Today's lunch was at the cafeteria with Max, Joshua Lim, Jasper, Eunice and Ai Ling. It was like another UWA gathering man haha. Had pasta again. Not as sinful 'cos it wasn't as cheesy and I ordered small. Phew.
I seem to be closer to UWA then to my own school, Canning College. I mean, I'm not yet as familiarised with the buildings in UWA as with those in my college but...UWA feels more homely la can! And I'm starting to know where is where already. I probably already know 60% of the buildings. At least I know where Reid Library, chemical engineering, social sciences, arts, mathematics and electrical engineering are. AND roughly where medicine is.
I have this urge to start ignoring people who refuse to call me De Xin. I'm ok with those who call me Sam or Ming Xin (like whatever, Max, lol)...but...I mean...EH WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?! I DON'T WANT THEM TO CALL ME SAM OR MING SIN but...I know they call me that 'cos they can't remember "De Xin". But some refuse to call me De Xin and insist on calling me Rynetta when they can remember "De Xin". Not shooting anyone here but...ya. It gets pretty irritating. So. MAYBE I SHOULD start ignoring those who refuse to call me De Xin.
I NEED TO FIND TIME TO START JOGGING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

ZZZ.I'm starting to gain back the sleeps I've lost since before SFAS haha. Before SFAS, I was having 4-5 hours of sleep each day because of practises. After SFAS, I also had 4-5 hours of sleep each day because I couldn't sleep. Before exams, I've been having 4-5 hours of sleep each day, except the nights before the exams itself because I forced myself to sleep for at least 6 hours. NOW? I just woke up!
Haha no la not really. Let's see. On Friday night I slept at 2am in the morning. So it should be more of I slept at Saturday morning. Woke up at....1pm? Haha. 11 hours of sleep. Then church. Saturday night/Sunday morning, I slept at around 1am plus plus. Woke up at around 8am for service. Last night/this morning, I slept at around 2am plus. Woke up at around 12.30pm. Showered, ate at 1pm, slept again at around..2.30pm?
Heh which was why I said I just woke up! I had a terrible tummy ache, which woke me up at around 4.45pm. It ached so much that I couldn't sleep any further. It was like cramps in the tummy area and piercing pain at the intestines area. It was really terrible ok. Even after I reliefed myself in the toilet, I still didn't feel too good. Like very lack of energy. Then I made a nutello spread. Eating it now. Feeling much better ^^.
I also just realised something. I didn't blog about me PASTOR ASSISTING TWO SATURDAYS AGO (14/10). I was really really nervous ok. I'm serious! What's worse, there was a SPEAKER. Heng the speaker only requested for a cup of water and didn't need me to bring it up to the pulpit for him when he speaks. When I was waiting for Pastor Patrick to come, my heart was beating like it's never beat before la can! I was sooo nervous! When Pastor Patrick finally came, he asked, "what's your name again?"
=_=. He asked that a few times already! "I'm Rynetta and I'll be assisting you today." He couldn't catch it the first time so when I told him my chinese name, he said he preferred Rynetta. Sigh. Haha. The whole service went smoothly la. No hiccups. Phew. =)
I went for service yesterday morning too! Andrew sent me there. Felt really bad 'cos he had to rush from the airport, send me and Janica to church then go back home. He had to pick his Aunt up from the airport or something. Not sure. Sat with Venessa, Adeline (hagau), Janica and Dave at the back haha.Church service was the same as Saturday's. Just a little less detail. Pastor Dean Harvey didn't touch on the part where he asked his wife why it had to take his son's death to bring back people who loved them then his wife answered why it had to take Jesus' death to bring us back to God. He also didn't emphasise much on the whipping part.GUESS WHO I SAW AT THE SERVICE! PEPSI MAX! Lol and Bijia. After service I went lunch with Bijia, Max, James and Alfred because Venessa and gang were going to eat in the library and study there afterwards. Was supposed to eat with Johnny, Lawrence and another guy but Emma's Seafood and Dimsum restaurant didn't have enough space so we split.Max, Bijia, James, Alfred and I went to Han's restaurant instead. I had this Vietnamese beef noodle thingy. Except the fact that Max had to look amazed-ly at my monument of greens on the tissue at the end of the meal. Oh did I mention Bijia walked up and down the street in search for an ATM machine when there was just one across the street? And that I was walking with her? Lol.Then Max sent me home to change 'cos we were going to play at UWA later on. He also sent James and Alfred home. James at Currie Hall, Alfred just beside Stan's house. Then I was dropped off with Bijia at her house so that I can go down to the field with them later.At Bijia's house, I ended up watching Korean tv gameshows on youtube with the whole household. Only left the house at around...5.30? LOL. June drove Bijia, Dorcas and I down. Went to the recreation hall.MY BADMINTON DETERIORATED BIG TIME MAN! I kept missing all my shots! I felt so so so paiseh because everyon was looking at me la can! And the guys kept teasing me! Argh!!! Lol. But after a few rounds of warm up, and a few rounds of single games, I got back my touch. Phew.Went over to Stan's house with Ning, Letitia and the whole household's boys. The boys showered and then we went off to Abel's house to WATCH SOCCER. Had the..."fu chok tong shui". Some tofu skin dessert thingy. It was really really good. Charles made it. Then Stan and the rest came with our fish and chips. I took lots of chips man haha.Score? 2-0. MAN-U WOOOOON!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't express my joy at that time because Max was a liverpool fan and he was supposed to send me home hehehe. We slacked for a while more at Abel's house because we were supposed to go to Jeremy's house later at around midnight to celebrate his birthday.At 11.45, we left Abel's house. Some went to Eufei's house to get the cake, some waited for Eunice at St. Cat's. Then we went over to Jeremy's house, which was just behind Trinity College lol. We went up to his room silently and knocked on his door several times. When he finally opened the door, he was said to be half naked lol. I didn't see! So don't shoot me! But is upper half of his body naked la haha. Then when he finally re-opened his door fully dressed, we sang him happy birthday and went down to the living room.The cake was...I don't know lol. I just know the icing was so super darn sweet. And Steven was going on and on about how much calories it has in it. IT'S NOT LIKE I'M EATING IT EVERYDAY WHAT!!!!! Lol. I've only known him for like two days and he's grown to bullying me too! Sian!!!Then when we were done, Max sent me home. THAT was the most terrifying car ride I've ever experienced. At first when Letitia was in the car, it was still all right. I mean, it WAS crazy la, listening to the boys sing to Collide with terrible sound effects by Stan, Max and Josh lol but at least I wasn't the only girl. Max also purposely swerved the car somewhere along Mounts Bay road la! Leaving Letitia and I screaming like mad!Then when Letitia got off, Francis came to sit beside me and I was sandwiched between him and Josh. I tried locking Francis out but it wasn't a success. It was HORRIBLE ok! They continued singing like mad and they were so super loud la! Especially when they tried to sing with female voice. OMG man. Lol. But I still got home safely la haha.Thanks guys! Although it was horrible, it was also one of the best car rides ever =). BUT BUT BUT no encore please!!!!!

THE BROKEN HEART OF GOD.Today's sermon was...wow. I've never had such an impact before. I mean, yes, Pastor Patrick's sermons are impactful, intellectual and all but...today's was different.
Since I came back to Perth from Singapore in July, I never failed to tear each time I'm reminded of how Greatgrandma's going to leave me anytime, how Uncle left without a word. I never failed to tear each time I listened to Avril Lavigne's Slipped Away because I always find myself able to relate to that song, or rather relate to how Avril Lavigne was feeling while writing that song. That song was a song she wrote and dedicated to her late Grandfather.
I still remember how badly I blamed God for taking away Uncle so suddenly. The Uncle I had so much fun with when I was younger and the Uncle I lost contact with for so many years. He just left like that. Without a word. Without even saying bye. No one knew where he was. No one knew he was suffering. No one knew how much he'd went through. And just like this, he was gone.
According to people who were around him during his death, he left silently. It was a heart attack that killed him. But he showed no sign of pain. He didn't look like he was struggling. They said he just "slept" with his head on the table (of a coffeeshop) for quite some time until someone thought he didn't look ok and went up to him, realising he was dead. I hope he went peacefully. I hope he really wasn't in pain. I really hope God let him die gracefully. But then again, if that's so true, how could it be a heart attack?
Then came Greatgrandma. Which was also very sudden. And shocking. Everyone knew how ill she was. Everyone but me. I blamed God for letting her suffer so much. Was on the point of backsliding. But friends kept coming to me, reassuring me and helping me through these tough times.
When Elizabeth shared her baptism testimony during baptism service and today, I really felt I could relate to how she felt. I teared. Twice. I liked how she said that just like how we grieve over our loved ones' deaths, God grieved for Jesus' death too. In fact, He grieved more than us. Then was today's sermon. God not only grieved over Jesus' death. He also grieved over how we humans walk away from God.
"Why does it take our son's death to make the people who love us come to us?", Pastor Dean Harvey asked. "Why, then, does it take Jesus' death to bring people back to God?" was his wife's reply. That, I seriously have to say, is true. We often grieve over our love one's death and push the blame on God but has anyone ever wondered how much more God grieved over Jesus' death? While we lose only ONE of our loved ones, God is losing much much more every now and then. Even while I'm typing out this entry, God is losing His people. People who turned their backs on Him.
Today's sermon was more than just a wake up call, more than just impactful. I teared. More than once. I couldn't believe how selfish I was. I couldn't believe how much I've hurt God, our Lord Father in heaven. Like Pastor Dean Harvey, I want to bring Joy to God while others bring grief to Him. And I believe everyone around me would also think likewise.

Since I came back to Perth from Singapore in July, I never failed to tear each time I'm reminded of how Greatgrandma's going to leave me anytime, how Uncle left without a word. I never failed to tear each time I listened to Avril Lavigne's Slipped Away because I always find myself able to relate to that song, or rather relate to how Avril Lavigne was feeling while writing that song. That song was a song she wrote and dedicated to her late Grandfather.
I still remember how badly I blamed God for taking away Uncle so suddenly. The Uncle I had so much fun with when I was younger and the Uncle I lost contact with for so many years. He just left like that. Without a word. Without even saying bye. No one knew where he was. No one knew he was suffering. No one knew how much he'd went through. And just like this, he was gone.
According to people who were around him during his death, he left silently. It was a heart attack that killed him. But he showed no sign of pain. He didn't look like he was struggling. They said he just "slept" with his head on the table (of a coffeeshop) for quite some time until someone thought he didn't look ok and went up to him, realising he was dead. I hope he went peacefully. I hope he really wasn't in pain. I really hope God let him die gracefully. But then again, if that's so true, how could it be a heart attack?
Then came Greatgrandma. Which was also very sudden. And shocking. Everyone knew how ill she was. Everyone but me. I blamed God for letting her suffer so much. Was on the point of backsliding. But friends kept coming to me, reassuring me and helping me through these tough times.

LAST CELL FOR 2006 SEM2. Just got back from cell. I'm proud to say that...I love this cell. =)
"But your cell has a miserable size of only 8-9 people!" We only had 7 today. And it felt like there were 70. Garry once shared about how it wasn't about quantity but about quality. I agree totally with that. There's an advantage to this size, though. We get to be cozier. Closer to one another. Understanding each other better.
"Your cell leader is Garry Tan KK leh. Can make it meh?!" OF COURSE! In fact, I really want to thank God for blessing me with a cell leader like Garry. He took the effort to transport each and every member back home. Those that need transport, that is. He sent people all the way back to Canningvale. Especially when his car has gotten to the extent where it's taking up more fuel than it should. And his words never failed to enlighten me. =)
"Your cell got so many monkeys. Confirm very noisy one." Not really leh. Haha. Although Faith and I have been the noisy ones, you should really see how quiet we are when it comes to words. And when it comes to being noisy, WE ARE REALLY NOISY! I remember getting high with Faith and Shelina once during refreshments just 'cos we had too much starburst gummies. LOL.
Although we girls have been complaining about doingr refreshments almost every week, I'd like to say that...there isn't much to complain about. Stanley does worship, Garry does words. The rest alternate in doing games. So Faith and I do refreshments haha. Actually hor, I quite enjoy doing refreshments leh. Hehe.
I did games today. Second time for this cell. I still remember freaking out when I had to do games for the first time. This time round was a bit different. I shared a little at the end of the game. I don't know if it turned out good BUT I enjoyed every single part of it =).
Garry's words was about Salvation. Learnt 7 reassurances of salvation. REFRESHMENTS WAS STEAMBOAT!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome. Tom yam. With yong tau fu. Oh oh! I love the piggy fish cake! Haha. Had a very sinful cone of double chocolate ice cream too. We ended cell by watching the SFAS dvd. They kept skipping so many parts la! They insisted on watching my dance =_=.
Seriously speaking, after watching the video, I felt very inferior. My dance step were messy, not expressive enough and weak. ARGH! Cacated!
Okok back to where I was. All I have to say is, I'M GOING TO MISS THIS CELL ALOT!!!!!!!!!!

TIME TO SLACK!OMGOMGOMG EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!! Could you hear me? In case you couldn't, EXAMS ARE O-VER!!!!!!!!!!
I just sat for my last paper today. Applicable maths. As expected, it was (don't shoot me) easy. If I didn't make any careless mistake, I should be able to get a distinction. NOTE: I didn't study for this exam. This irony is really really irritating the hell out of me! I studied so hard for my ELACS and accounting but I screwed both. I practised for calculus but I screwed it too. WHAT RUBBISH?!
Oh ya. Did I forget to mention I went to the state library to study with Faith, Eunice and Jasper? Ya. I did. Lol. Now that exams are over, I'm going to watch movie with Faith Yeo on Monday. Unless someone asks me out, I'll be mugging all the way. Lol.
Nothing to blog. Going out to walk. Cya guys!

WANG MIN RU.That girl asked me to blog a post about her. So, I asked her to blog a post about me in return! BUT she beat me to it! I can't believe it man! Haha.
I knew this girl since 2002 because she was in the same class as me yadah yadah yadah. You guys know the story haha. To me, she was more than just a friend despite the fact that we didn't appear close. We'll only be really close to each other during exam periods because I remember my index number was 3 (my favourite number!!!) and hers was 4. So she would always end up sitting behind me and we always end up talking to each other.
THIS GIRL HOR always have ulcers one! Haha. She once told me she loved crying haha 'cos she'll always feel better after crying. I always thought that was a crazy thing to do until I came to Perth and started crying like the river would never overflow. Crying actually DID make me feel better. I mean, not when I'm crying la but when I finish crying. Haha felt as though all the burdens and troubles escaped together with the tears.
Then...ya lor. We got seperated because she was the smarter one and went to 4JT while I was the dumb one and ended up in 4RP haha. I can say it's a blessing, though. Not just because I got to know more people who blessed my life totally but because Min Ru's absence made me realise how important she was to me. She no longer sat behind me during exams but I still prayed for her. I mean, not pray la 'cos I wasn't a Christian back then, but I still wished her the best of luck without her knowing lol.
When I got to Perth, I came to realise the importance of my parents. It wasn't say too late because I still got the chance to go back to my parents and tell them how much I missed them, how much I love them and how much they mean to me in my life. There was once I read Min Ru's blog about her parents. About how upset she was with her parents just because her parents didn't listen to her when she tried confiding in them.
All I can say is, girl, it's not your parents are not listening. I can safely rest assure you that your parents WERE listening. We KNOW by the fact that Asian parents are the worst in expressing their love to their children, with some exceptions. I'm pretty sure your parents are one of those who just don't know how to express their love to you. Let's take for examply my Dad. Daddy! Haha. He never once cried infront of me or Mummy. He never once told us he loved us. But one day before I depart Singapore for Perth, on the 1st of January 2006, he came to talk to me. Before he started, he bursted into tears. He poured all his worries onto me. Saying how much he'll miss me, how much he's worried about me and how much he loves me. You see, it takes a lot for parents to express their love. And for me, it was my departure that made my parents learn how to express their love more because they know they can't do that as often with me all the way in Perth.
Give your parents time, Min Ru. There's no harm in you making the first move either! Try writing letters to them, or sms-ing them. Email them even if they have email addresses. Never give up k? =)
Min Ru, ah Min Ru. GOT BOY BOY ALREADY HOR! That time Jesslyn say you're in love you kept denying. WHAT KIND OF FRIEND IS THIS?!?!?! HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Lol. Don't give up in this relationship k? Don't treat it as just another relationship but...a relationship that will build you, that will bring you through your years of adolescence!
I miss you, girl. Meet up when I go back to Singapore k!!!!!

TWO DOWN, TWO MORE TO GO!!!!! I can safely say more than half of the battle is won. Calculus and ELACS exams are over. Two of the most demanding subjects. Actually, no. ELACS is the most demanding subject while calculus is the most tedious exam. Yes, exam, not subject.
I always found calculus and easier subject as compared to applicable mathematics but calculus had more difficult tests and exams. WHICH IS WHY I could still manage to ace most of my applicable maths tests and exams even when I didn't have a clue what Chris was trying to teach. My applicable maths overall is 80++ while calculus is a miserable 60++.
I should be able to pass my ELACS exam. IF my essay didn't go out of point, that is. I only didn't manage to finish to parts of my exam. One of which I only wrote four solutions when the questions requested for five. The other part was synthesis essay, the one which requires us to have in-text referencing and at least one and a half page of essay. I only managed to write one page due to time constrain. Other than that, the rest were fine. I managed my summary and my essay. Please, Lord, please don't let my essay go out of point!!!!!
Oh, I made a blind mistake. For almost a month. LOL. All the while I thought my applicable maths exam will be on the 19th (tomorrow) and accounting will be on the 20th but THIS MORNING I just found out that it's accounting TOMORROW and applicable maths on the 20th. IN OTHER WORDS, after tomorrow, I GET TO SLACK BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!! Why? 'Cos, cheers to Reid Library, UWA, I've finished my applicable maths notes!
Actually I'm also slacking now. I finished my accounting studies AND applicable maths notes all in a week! Which was last week! CHEERS TO UWA!!! AMEN!!!!!
Lord, I thank You for having brought me this far. I thank You for helping me not just pass but ace most of my applicable maths and calculus tests. I know it's by Your Grace that I could even pass those tests without studying but it's by Your biggest Grace that I could even ace those tests. It's not my ability nor my strength. Not by power nor by might. BUT by the spirit of God. I thank You, again, Lord for all that You've blessed me with. For without Your blessings, I wouldn't have made it this far. All this in Jesus' most precious name I pray, amen.

REMINISCE.I was looking up into the sky on my way home and memories starting floating into my mind.
"Daddy/Mummy, why the clouds keep following us one?"
My parents always stumbled on that very question and never once answered. =D
Man, I miss those days.
Why the clouds keep following us one?

EXAMS!!!!!I so seriously need to CLEAN UP MY ROOM. But then again, why should I? I'm moving out soon! Not that I'm leaving all my things behind, hell no, lol, but because with the things all spread out all over, I can pack things up more easily. I hope. Heh.
I WENT SHOPPING YESTERDAY!!!!! Spent A$139.90 on a jacket, A$40 on a pair of shoes and A$10 on a pair of ear rings. And I was supposed to study. LOL. It all started with Peggy, Jasper, Wei Xian and I going for lunch. After lunch, Peggy dropped by a shop to change her bag. Then she saw a jacket she liked. Then I saw a jacket I like. That was it. An hour was spent in that shop. Both Peggy and I satisfied haha.We DID study ok. I managed to finish my calculus notes in the library. Phew. Saw Desmond and Lisa(!!!!! I MISS HER SO MUCH !!!!!) at the library too! Desmond was with his college mates while Lisa was with her friend. Mugging period man!I went off with Jasper Ling at around 4.30? Ya. Somewhere there. Went to UWA. The guys were playing Captain's Ball with some of the Currie Hall people. Me? Didn't play haha. I didn't have the shoes and I was planning to study but in the end, of course, I didn't. Ended up walking around UWA with Letitia.The people also played frisbee haha. When they finished, Eunice helped me look for Jasper. Because she was on a bike! Lol. He was at the recreation centre. I had to carry his bag all the way to the recreation centre for him. Thanks ar! Lol. He returned Nic his phone, Nic returned him his ball, and Jasper sent me to Eufei's house. Thanks dude! Oh ya, take care of dog the turtle k!WAS planning to study at Eufei's house. But the moment I stepped in, he starting stuffing me with food. Ok, not immediately 'cos he was at first talking to his *ooo*gf*ooo* on the phone but after he put down the phone, I asked him for food and he offered his cell's left over biscuits, the choc chip cookies and some almond biscuits. Then he went down to get food from Wei Xian. Wei Xian came up to realise I was hungry. Both of them went down again to get food for me when I told them I don't want. Stupid boys. Lol.Then Wei Xian set up the wireless internet for me. That's it. No studying. AT ALL. Thank God I finished my notes in the library already. Jeremy Low came to pick me up at around 10pm. We're still poking each other lol. And his driving was good! Thankew!
Had my Calculus exam today. Whilest coming home looking all dead and stuff, another side of me seemed to be used to it. Yes, I screwed the exam up lol. Surprisingly, it was the easy questions that I couldn't do and the madness questions that I could do. Was whining and all on msn when I looked calm infront of my lappie.There was also this another thing that happened. Wasn't really whining nor complaining. Somewhat in between I guess. Eunice talked most sense into me. Wei Xian, as usual, nagged haha. BUT I like his nagging =X. Die la. Getting used to naggings already. Went to sleep, woke up, and I'M ALL SET TO STUDY!Sleeps make one satisfied the most ^^.

WORNED OUT. My back and left hip hurts. Back 'cos I've been carrying a very heavy bag around for two days and I was slouching just now. Hip? I don't know man.
Been really really busy lately. Let me summarise k? Friday 6/10: Mooncake Festival
Saturday 7/10: Church service at UWA then Dance Appreciation Night at Karen's place
Sunday 8/10: Church service at Curtin, lunch with the UWA people who were at Curtin service, then studied abit at home

Wednesday 11/10: Studied at Reid Library with Eunice and later on Jasper came along, stayed over at St. Cat's
Thursday 12/10: Studied at Reid Library with Eunice, had lunch with Eunice and Isaiah at Student's Cafe, went to IGA to shop for refreshments for cell with Wei Xian, went to Eufei's house to slack for a while, went to Stan's place for cell.
So. What do you think? Busy week huh? Yepyepyep! Let's start with...Venassa's birthday. It was last Thursday (5/10). Didn't list it up there heh. Andrew picked me up as you could see from my previous post and we went to get a cake. Didn't know where Miss Maud was so we went to Regent. Nearly bought the chestnut cake but when we tried the small one we realised it ain't nice so we ended up buying the fruit cheese cake.We were supposed to have lunch at one of the restaurants opposite Tea Fusion but ya, none of them opens for lunch. Ended up eating at Jade. Wasn't that bad. Food was good. Cake was awesome. Next? Karaoke at Utopia!I didn't sing much. Paid 9 bucks for nothing haha. Nah just kiddin'. Had dinner there too. Fried mushrooms. Lol. I sang a lot for second round of karaoke. Steven sent us home in his blue Toyato Yaris. Nice car!
Friday was mooncake festival. Kevin picked me up from home. Went to broadway to meet up with the UWA people. Went up to IGA because Dominic and Petrus were hungry. I bought three packets of starburst gummies, all of which disappeared later that night. Kevin sent Nic, Petrus, Eufei and I to King's Park. Petrus and Eufei wouldn't stop squashing me in the middle. SIAN! Lol.At King's Park, I at first sat at one side, didn't plan to mix around 'cos I wasn't say in the mood to. But somehow or rather the guys started bullying me. Guys like Jason and Eufei. HOR! Kept calling me Monkey! Jasper another one! Call me rat! Siannn. Then like that lor. In the end became one of the noisiest ones, along with Eunice and Faith.Took hell lots of photos, ate hell lots of food. Durian mooncake was the best man! Along with other chocolatey stuffs, breads and so on. Dorcas was very persistant on carrying a well lit lantern but the guys wouldn't give up blowing out her lantern either. Poor Dorcas lol. Many boys kena wedgie too. Total madness. Ha!The celebration ended at around 10pm. I so didn't want to go home so when I was at the carpark I shouted "I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!" So Letitia suggested coffee. Edwin drove Eufei, Letitia and I to Tea Fusion.At Tea Fusion, most of the people were at the lan gaming area playing CS. Jamie was guided by Eufei, Dorcas by Max. Other players included Stan, Joshua Lim, Joshua Chin and Isaiah. When we were about to leave, Jeremy and I got into a poking fight lol. Edwin sent me home.
Saturday was service. Got picked up by Garry. Talked to Joanne for the first time. When we reached UWA, we realised BIJIA was doing EduCell. Wow! Haha. Jeremy and I had another round of poking fight. Sat with Eunice during service. Sermon was a summary of Made For More. Karen chaired. Ray led worship. After service? Followed Karen down to her house for DANCE APPRECIATION DINNER!!!!!!!!!!Dinner was like buffet. Catered. Curry, noodles, beef rendang and vege. Oh, rice too. Also had games like "What huh?" and Charades. My team won for Charades although I didn't do much heh. I gave thanksgiving for the first time. Heart was beating like...I don't know lol.Didn't really mix around much. Was sitting alone most of the time, thinking of things. Only at the end then I was forced to join the people. Got sent home by Issac.
Sunday was service too! Was supposed to give Andrew a call at around 9.30am but his phone died on him so he woke up late and came to pick me up late too lol. In the car he was like whacking his phone 'cos his phone's keypad had problems.Service was almost totally the same. Boon Wai chaired. Same sermon. After service, I was outside bumping into so many people I know. Including Yusuke Hamsap! Haha. Had lunch with Max, Dorcas, Ning, June, Evelyn, Edison and Edwin. Max sent me home. Studied two chapters of Applicable Maths.
That's all for now haha. Shall blog about Monday and so on another time. Cya!

So. What do you think? Busy week huh? Yepyepyep! Let's start with...Venassa's birthday. It was last Thursday (5/10). Didn't list it up there heh. Andrew picked me up as you could see from my previous post and we went to get a cake. Didn't know where Miss Maud was so we went to Regent. Nearly bought the chestnut cake but when we tried the small one we realised it ain't nice so we ended up buying the fruit cheese cake.We were supposed to have lunch at one of the restaurants opposite Tea Fusion but ya, none of them opens for lunch. Ended up eating at Jade. Wasn't that bad. Food was good. Cake was awesome. Next? Karaoke at Utopia!I didn't sing much. Paid 9 bucks for nothing haha. Nah just kiddin'. Had dinner there too. Fried mushrooms. Lol. I sang a lot for second round of karaoke. Steven sent us home in his blue Toyato Yaris. Nice car!
Friday was mooncake festival. Kevin picked me up from home. Went to broadway to meet up with the UWA people. Went up to IGA because Dominic and Petrus were hungry. I bought three packets of starburst gummies, all of which disappeared later that night. Kevin sent Nic, Petrus, Eufei and I to King's Park. Petrus and Eufei wouldn't stop squashing me in the middle. SIAN! Lol.At King's Park, I at first sat at one side, didn't plan to mix around 'cos I wasn't say in the mood to. But somehow or rather the guys started bullying me. Guys like Jason and Eufei. HOR! Kept calling me Monkey! Jasper another one! Call me rat! Siannn. Then like that lor. In the end became one of the noisiest ones, along with Eunice and Faith.Took hell lots of photos, ate hell lots of food. Durian mooncake was the best man! Along with other chocolatey stuffs, breads and so on. Dorcas was very persistant on carrying a well lit lantern but the guys wouldn't give up blowing out her lantern either. Poor Dorcas lol. Many boys kena wedgie too. Total madness. Ha!The celebration ended at around 10pm. I so didn't want to go home so when I was at the carpark I shouted "I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!"

Ok. Now that I've got too many things to blog about, I shan't blog them in detail. Just a brief summary will do ya? Praise the Lord!
The day my parents came, which was 30th September, my homestay parents sent me to the hotel. They met my parents and...ya. Lol. I placed my bag in the hotel's store room and went down to Mac's with my parents. Mummy had a cup of coffee with hash brown while Daddy had cappucino with some McMuffin thingy. Then we walked around the city till it's about 1pm then we went back to the hotel. Three of us all slept in the sofas. At 1.45pm, Mummy successfully got a room.
The room wasn't say too big or too small but just more on the small side. Both Daddy and Mummy complained non-stop. They rested for a while before we went down again 'cos Kevin was picking us up for service. Kevin surprising stuck to the speed limit =D.
Had a guest speaker. He was good. Really good. After service, my parents got bombarded with the same questions over and over again lol. Dinner was at Saigon. Parents enjoyed it. Thanks guys =).
Second day. Parents refused to go for Sunday service despite the fact that there'll be another guest speaker. We went freo instead. Took bus 103. Went to the market, parents bought coffee beans. Went to coles, they did some grocery shopping while I got some pasta salad. Parents ate at a Japanese restaurant while I ate my pasta salad outside alone. At the end of the day, we went back to city and I brought my parents to Northbridge (Singapore Chinatown) for dinner. Fried squid with salted egg was too salty for Daddy, sizzling beef was too sweet (don't ask) and kang kong was too much. LOL.
Third day. Parents visited both homestays. Current one first. Ended up eating dimsum at The Emperor's Court with the whole homestay family plus Yuki and Vikki. Then went to my previous homestay. Got sent back to the hotel by Uncle Sen and Aunty Lily. Parents went out to have dinner in the city without me because I had too much of dimsum.
Fourth Day. Parents and I visited Trinity and St. Cat's College with the accompany of Eunice. Trinity was led by Amanda. St. Cat's led by Tara (I think). Of course, I preferred St. Cats. Had dinner at the place where my parents had dinner the previous day. Messy messy messy because the waitress had some problems to deal with. There was A$100 short in the cash register. Hope she'll be ok.
Fifth Day. Shopped in the city. Bought a singlet and a shirt from Cotton On. Had lunch at Taka. Went off at around 6pm for ZLM. Had migraine. Terrible terrible terrible.
Sixth Day. Last day. After breakfast, we walked down towards the Perth Mint's direction, walked back. At 11.30am, went down to Mac's where Andrew picked me up. Parted with Daddy and Mummy. Went off for Venassa's birthday party.
I miss my parents but I ain't crying that much because I know they're coming again in 20 days! Wooooo!

IWANTTODYEMYHAIR!!!!!!!!!!I've planned out what colour and style and everything but I can't do it yet! I need to wait till I get back to Singapore!!!!! SIAN!!!!!!!!!!
I'm actually studying now. Praise the Lord. See if I have the time tonight, I'll blog about mooncake festival, last night's SFAS dance appreciation dinner, today's service and lunch and my parents' stay over.
For now, it's gonna be more studying. Pray for my survival. I just took one hour to write one chapter of notes. Which is only one page. HA.

LOST. It felt good being alone again. I had the chance to think of things I haven't been thinking of for quite some time.
What does Rynetta mean? And what does it mean to me? Nothing. It was...it was fun introducing myself using a new name but to think of it again...it really has no meaning. It WAS easier for the lecturers to remember me but what's the point?
I grew up with De Xin. And I really don't see why I should let others call me by another name just 'cos I like it that way. I was so used to people calling me Rynetta here that when I here my parents and best friends back in Singapore call me "De Xin", my heart melted instantly. It's just a total different feeling.
I also thought about Greatgrandma. Praise the Lord. He heard my prayers. Greatgrandma can even walk on her own now. I'm so proud of her. And I really thank God for it.
I also thought about...trust. Nope, I still can't find myself trusting people. I even find it harder, now, to make new friends. SFAS opened me up a little but I'm back to my normal self again now.
I also thought of the ballet lessons with Mrs Skipp and Miss Chew. I thought of the times I spent with Huan Yuet and Christine. I thought of so many so many things. I even thought about...him. Whether I should persist and continue liking him or give up and not think about relationships for the moment.
To summarize...I feel lost all over again.

DADDY MUMMY.It's 12.38am.
24 hours ago I'm already in bed. Done my quiet time, sleeping. Daddy would've been snoring. Mummy would've been snoring, grinding her teeth and making all sorts of noises.
"De Xin! Qi lai liao!"
This morning would be one of the last times I'm hearing that early in the morning at 7.30am from Mummy. Later at around 7.30am I might still be happily dreaming of my prince charming. I'll have to wait for another 3.5 weeks before I hear that voice again.
Mummy's naggings could only be heard for 6 days. Now all the naggings are back to digital form; msn messages. No more Daddy's fartings, burpings and snortings.
Aprrocimately 25 more days before Daddy and Mummy come back to Perth again. One month and approximately 12 more days before I go back to Singapore.
I KNOW EVERYONE'S GONNA MISS MUNKAYE!!!!!!!!!! =D

I'M BACK.Yes! I'm back I'm back! How cool is that! Haha.
I shall talk about two Sundays ago. LOL. I had to wake up super early despite SFAS the previous night. It was worthwhile, though. Salvations after salvations. Jon! Wooo! =D He's super geng lo. He's in dance, choir and stomp. How could he handle??? Lol.
Guest speaker was Dr. Phillip Lyn. He was darn awesome. After service, we, the uwa people, went to Jade for dimsum for lunch. A$23.80 per person. Madness.
Then went to watch some boys play soccer. Eufei, Max, Stan, Derrell, Jon CHIA(chiachiachia!), Abel, Jeremy and Charles. Those boys were like so funny can. Especially one part where Stan kicked the ball to the goal poast and had all the chance to score a goal but he lied on the grass and tried a head butt but the ball went out. SMART. Lol.
Dinner at broadway with Charles, Eufei and Abel. Then went back to Eufei's house, ate mandarin orange and Edwin and Nic came.
Went out with Jay, Edwin, Nic, Faith and Eunice. The guys played pool. The girls (which means me too lol) stoned around. We even played this game where we have to choose the guy we prefer from a group of guys. Lol. Eunice and Faith more or less know who I like now. =D
Next day? School.
My past 6 days were awesome. Got pretty emotional and stuff just now. I wouldn't be blogging about my past 6 days just yet but I WILL soon =). Mooncake night tomorrow! Can't wait!!!!! Hope I won't have any migraine tomorrow or something. =\
I'm so glad I'm finally having internet again. Sigh. But...opportunity cost: parents.
