Looking at other people's joy makes me happy, believe me.... it does.
Seeing them enjoying themselves - in perfect weather and prefect company.
It is worth taking all those pictures.
But it makes me wonder. I know i feel lonely here sometimes but am i desperatefor attention? desperate to direct my own attention from my own pain and suffering?
i dont really know. Never though i would be this weak. But yea, Min is right... God loves me. I'm His and He is mine. No one will take Him away from me becasue He promised He'll be there for me.... ALWAYS!
Daniel's pathetic advice - get a boyfriend! Same pathetic advice people give me once they find out i'm lonely here sometimes. Except my mum. She just wants me to find someone soon because she's afraid i'll never get married. Pssh!

Gosh, I miss you too.
David emailed me today... I feel good and sad at the same time. He's not an emotional person but he wrote this very words that make me miss him so much.
"What a boring time I'm having! We all miss you! We're always aking if you're ok and we cry for you"
It made my day but i miss my family a lot and it hurts! ;'(

Incident I remembered...
Situation: 3 of us are cooking dinner in the kitchen at 5pm.
A (Malay girl): Nasi dah siap ni. Kelaurkan dari microwave.
B (Malay girl): Tunggu jap. Nak serve sambal.
Me: *adding diced chicken to soup*
A: Orang yang duk masak tepi kau tu, dah nak siap ke tak ni? Nak buat jemput lagi ni. Dah nak bukak. Orang cina ni kan, semuanya tak tau nak pikir pasal orang. Sombong giler.
B: Baik-baik. Jangan guna BI. Nanti dia tau kau duk cakap pasal dia.
A: Masak apa benda la dia tu, guna dapur lama-lama. Orang dah nak bukak dah ni, lapar pulak tu. Kacau je la.
B: Bagi tau je la yang kau nak dia cepat. Suruh dia cepat sikit. Bagi tau kat dia, kau nak sembahyang lepas ni, sebab tu nak cepat.
A: Ala, paham ke dia ni?
B: Cuba la dulu. Cakap baik-baik dengan dia.
A: *with fake American accent* Erm, excuse me? Are you almost done? Because we need to rush for prayers later in a few minutes time. So, we need to have our cooking done too because we're going to break fast soon. Is it ok with you?
Me: Erm, my soup might take longer still. Cant you use the other stoves?
A: oh, ok.. Its alright then. *turns to her friend* Kan aku dah kata. Orang cina ni memang tak boleh pikir pasal orang lain. Dah bagi tau dia kita dah puasa satu hari, paham-paham la yang kita ni lapar..
Me: Erm, masa bukak lama lagi kan? Hari ni bukak pukul 6.18 kan? Skrang ni baru je pukul 5.30. Sempat kalau nak buat jemput tu. Lagi pun, i yang guna stove ni dulu. Kalau you guys datang lebih lambat dari i, lazimnya kena la tunggu. Budi bahasa kan??!!
B: *amazed* Pandai je cakap BM.
Me: Mesti la.. kan orang Malaysia.
A: Orang Malaysia?! Jadi awak paham la apa yang kita cakpa tadi...
Me: *smiles* Oh, and the accent. Drop it je. Memang orang boleh tau its fake. You should speak it proudly without faking the accent. Lagi pun, you're studying in NZ. What's with the American accent?!
Moral of the story: Never kutuk someone in another language and assume they dont understand you. If you still want to kutuk, do it in the comfort of your own rooms.

Daddy says
Part of daddy's email:
"You make sure you take care of yourself, we're all fine here. Whatever you do, do well and glorify God's name. And whatever you do, we are always proud of you. We are and we always will. We miss you, especially your mum, and we love you"
Gosh, i miss home so bad!
