Live A Different Life

Growing up is part of life. Sometimes I feel like I am an adult, working and all that but there are times when I miss being young. Photos of old friends, memories of good and bad times, what had being, could be and is.

Missing people seems to be the highlight of my day these days: Michelle & Raymond, Janice & Greg, Jocelyn, May, Sharon T, Chyi Mei, Fiona, the Lighthouse Fellowship.

Last minute packing is seriously unhealthy for you, speaking from an experienced last-minute-packer's point of view. Barely enjoyed my Unicol bed for the last time before leaving :(
Pack, unpack and repack everything. It wasn't fun at all. Thank you Michelle for all your help, Sharon & Tao for looking after our luggage and Unicol's trolleys for being there for us!

Supposed to reach the airport at least half an hour before the flight departs but we only arrives 15 minutes before the flight to a super duper long QUEUE. Even worse, I realised that I forgot to bring my bag with all the travel documents ie our tickets etc! Thanks Alex for saving the day by calming me down and thought of using his credit card to check in. So glad that the flight didn't leave without us. Turned out that we weren't the only late-comers and the flight had ended out depart late. Had a interesting talk with the girl sitting next to us and found that we have quite a lot in common: she is a pharmacy student-to-be, she is a christian, she knows Sarah Stewart, she works in the pharmacy where Sylvia and Esther will be workin as intern. What a small world, or rather, what a small country.

Big thanks to Amy and Rob for bringing my bag up. Big thanks to Michelle for the wonderful sermon notes *hugs*

What I have been up to these few days:


As Fiona is considering driving her car from Dunedin to Gisborne (congratulations for finding your dream job *hooray*), I have been researching the time and costs and we have come up with a plan (being super organised and all). We will be driving from Dunedin-Christchurch-Picton-Wellington-Napier- Gisborne. Before you ask, yes, it'll be a long drive but it'll be fun too. A wonderful opportunity to check out NZ and see what it's made of (literally).

Suffering from post-exam syndrome at the moment. Symptoms include sleeping and waking up at random hours, staying up despite no need to study, drinking excessive amount of coffee, eating lots of snacks etc. Looking like this...

It's this time of the year again. Tears building up and pouring down in moments of separation. I dedicate this post to Janice Lee, my best friend who is leaving Dunedin in 2 hours.

Had my last QUM workshop ever, last presentation ever and last class ever (fingers crossed) today. So excited that we even took a group picture after class today. Having attended endless classes for the past four years, I am feeling excited, yet somehow lost in the rush of excitement. Nonetheless, NO MORE CLASSES ever!!!!!! (technically speaking, we still have to attend training sessions and submit assignments next year as part of our intern practice but that's doesn't count)

Spent quite a bit of my time reading through Sharon T's blog today. Read through all her posts from the past year at one go (instead of studying law exam for next week). Interesting reading and really helps me to get to know her even more. Really enjoying being a blogger and a blog-reader :)

Motivated to think more, read more and write more

4.38am in the morning. Should be studying. Should be sleeping. Should not be blogging. Should not be wasting time.

It's that time at the year again! Sadness floating in the air. Spending time with friends who are leaving or staying. I like separation for it means new adventure with new people. I dislike separation for it means missing out on having adventures together with 'old' people.

As part of cellgroup, we had a sports night at Logan Park yesterday. It was fun, fun and fun! It was probably the sum of my whole year's worth of exercise. Running around like kids, but with much less stamina. Wonder how I managed to run around for hours non-stop when I was a kid. Sitting down and enjoying God and each other's presence. Talking about random things like leg thick enough to support buildings. Fooling around, throwing grass at people. It's times like this that I would definitely miss for years to come in the future.
