you know what! i could just sit here and complain again about the woman from meaniepooop town but im frickin sick of her ruining my moods and making life a living hell!
today she came in and told me of for talking to mummy and daddy for 2 hours! like what on earth right! i think she's seriously deprived of mother-father-daughter close relationship! i suddenly miss my bro! i miss being there when he's pissed just to silently sympathise him cos army has been shitty to him! AYE. if my bro ever ever reads this, gorgore! i do love you okay! though you always bully me and shuff me around with ur big biceps and scare the daylights outta me, and make me look stupid and TEMPT me to eat all the wonderful SINFUL food you cook/make/bake!
OHWELLS. i thank god for nourishing me with really really good food for lunch and dinner tonight! i went to yiin's house after sch, cos sch ended at 11.30 and i SERIOUSLY didnt wanna go home, and studying at yiin's house sounded really good! i didnt know her mom would cook the REALLY REALLY delicious steak for dinner! you wont believe how good it was! there was baked potatoes and onions, salad, and macoroni soup! SOUP! YUMMAYE I SAY!
KY! god answered thy prayer! :D
anyway, i was reading this on the daily bread thinggy website! and i feel so guilty! cos leaving in this house has thought me more than ever that my sulky attitude towards the woman's awful rules arent really portraying WHAT WOULD JESUS DO.
so what would jesus do ):
It’s not easy to keep up with the shorthand that accompanies today’s fast-paced, youth-oriented electronic communication. In IM-speak (Instant Message talk) or text-message language, “laughing out loud” becomes “lol.” “By the way” is “btw.” And regrettably, some people use “omg” for “Oh, my God!”
This last phrase seems to be on the lips of many who receive startling news. But as Christians, we need to stop before we utter this or any other phrase that flippantly uses God’s name.
In Matthew 6, when Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, the first thing He told them to say was this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name” (v.9). Clearly, God’s name itself is special. It encompasses His nature, His teachings, and His moral authority. To speak the name of God is to call on the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
In every way possible, we should honor and protect God’s holy name, preserving its use for those occasions when we are speaking of Him or addressing Him in faith.
Let’s be careful never to turn the hallowed name of our awesome and mighty God into just another flippant phrase on our lips or in a text message. —Dave Branon

today morning was spent waiting online for daddy to come on!
went he finally came, he was being so happy about the food mummy bought for breakfast, sipping his kopi.
i miss drinking the awesome green tea my mom makes, PERFECT FOR ME, cos i hate sugar, and she doesnt put sugar in it. :)
the woman almost didnt give me lunch today, GOOD THING I ASKED HER WAD TIME LUNCH WAS. (cos it was almost 1 already when she came to tell me she was going out.)
lunch was just 2 slices of whole meal bread, with cheese and tomato. very. =
daddy says its good since i keep saying im fat. BUT. cheese makes ppl fat lar. and the amt of oil i eat here, how to get skinny?!
anyhows, was using the com, and trying to read chem today! hernshung msged me when he cleared customs, then he had to jump start his car, was 6 by the time he came by. ANYHOW, he had to continue driving for 15 mins, or his car would just stall again cos he hadnt driven it in 2 mths. i didnt know car batteries could die in spore too! oh wells!
i visited riverview church. it was alright! the pastor was pretty engaging. was a good msg! we were late for worship, and they sang the verse chorus verse chorus of salvation is here for the closing song. overall, riverview left a good impression on me.
mmhmm, went to nandos for dinner, if that's how its spelt. PRETTY GOOD i must say. portugese styled chicken i think? they gave ALOT of fries. ALOT.
i actually enjoyed perth tonight.
but sad to say, once i reached the home, the woman soured the mood terribly. rhhhhh. i dont know how -with her unkindness, and all, i just felt so lonely once i got out of the car and stepped into my room.
I MUST PRAY FOR STRENGTH. and hope, and JOY.
The more bitter the desert experience, the sweeter the water of the oasis -korkor sent that meaningful line to me.

im currently reading a book by oswald chambers. my utmost for his highest.
but before we choose to do God's will, a crisis must follow. this happens because we tend to be unresponsive to God's gently nudges. He ask us to be our utmost for him and we begin to
debate. He then providentally produces a crisis where we have to decide - for or against.
i remember my tea with godpa the day before i flew off. godpah's really nice btw. :D and really smart/wise/UBER COOL to me. REALLY AWESOME. he told me that if i really wanted to have this close relationship- total dependence kind, i should ask him for an un-met need. at that point when gohpah said it, i was thinking of a CERTAIN un-met need, and i thought THAT was the need that was gonna bring total dependence on God. HOWEVER, god's plans are always greater than us, his thoughts and ways, by far, always higher than ours. hah. i feel so dumb :D
anyway, it could've been worst. i could've been born in oct, and stuck here forever, 5 weeks isnt that bad.
mmhmm.
oh the reason why i take double english's cos we have to take 5 units of english. 1 unit every term, but then we only have 4 terms, so they let you take double english in terms 3 and 1. but then you might not be able to take your choice subject and all that kinda crazy problems might arise. mmhmm.
anyway, yesterday during english lesson, my teacher went,
"amanda, can you give me a sentence with the word 'having' inside?"
and i proudly answered, from the back of the class, " im having a stomach ache!"
WHICH IS WRONG! do you know that! my teacher said that nobody usually says im HAVING a stomach ache. she said it should have been, I HAVE a stomach ache!
betcha didnt know that too!

so its been a few days in perth.
its been quite an awful few days. cultrural shock they say. daddy and i stepped out of perth's international airport, and were quite pleased with what we saw. trees, beautiful sky. AWESOME laid back feeling. very relaxed, calm, chilled, composed.
we got into our cab, travel all the way pass the city, and further forward, to mt claremont, where my homestay is. and guessed what! we reached there, and daddy knocked and knocked, but there was no response. so the driver offered to call the lady for us. he was really nice! cos calling in aussie's quite expensive. and people just wait for calls. anyhow, the no, was SHORT OF A DIGIT! like -.-
we were totally totally stranded.
then the kind driver decided, to bang on the door for us! and yea, the lady came out after awhile, and she TOTALLY hadnt expected us! so anyway, we went into the house. with all out luggage and stuff. it was pretty tough cos this woman had a silly little slope down her driveway, and after the slope was some stairs! super tough lugging all that heavy luggages down!
so anyway, after barely being in her house for half an hour, we got evicted! we had this convo with the woman, and she was like talking bout me staying till dec, and i was like NONO, im staying till my eighteeenth birthday, and she was saying i wasnt suitable and all that cos she wanted someone permanent. SO she chased us out!
LIKE WHAT ON EARTH RIGHT!
so POOR daddy and i had to pick up all our stuff and climb up those small steps (a few only luh(: ) and that SILLY SLOPE, and take yet ANOTHER cab down to the city, wasting 27 dollars! to think we could have saved $52 if we had just stopped at the city from the airport. ANYHOWS! the next day we went down to sch, to check wad was going on! because i panicked the night before, i called mojo, and she told me her grandaunt's details and all. but LOW AND BEHOLD. the sch didnt allow me to stay with momo's grandaunt. super idiotic. they called the woman up, and did some coaxing and i was sent packing back to the woman's house!
omg. waste MORE TAXI FARE, lets see that's $79 used on stupid air fare. YES.
couldave killed that bluddy woman man. not that i wanna curse and swear, but judging from that amount of money! makes u go bonkers thinking of how wasted it is!
so anyway, after DREADING to go back, daddy convince me it'll be okay.
i was so sad i had to live with sucha woman! ): i feared my life. hehs. and i was so sad when daddy took the last bus to the city at 7.08pm. SO SO SAD. i cried buckets when i came back to my lonely room. then the woman came in to tell me rules after rules, upon seeing my fan being switched on.
NO 1. you are not allowed to on the fan throughout the night.
NO 2. dont put on the comforters when sleeping, cos its summer.
NO 3. NO spending more than 4 mins in the shower
NO 4. no bathing more than once a day.
NO 5. NO bathing after 9 pm.
NO 6. no filling of bottles at home, fill them in sch
NO 7. only permitted to wash ur clothes once a week
NO 8. wash the dishes, and clean up the cooking area
NO 9.
i cannot remember what ready. SO ANGRY. SHE DOESNT LET ME BATHE MORE THAN ONCE!!! what nonsence is that lar! my gosh! and im not allowed to what, wash my clothes?
its not as if water here is at precious as singapore right!
CANT STAND!
was so upset and overwhelmed by everything and daddy and mummy gone, that i started crying alot! and i saw oddball online and i was SO DEEPLY UPSET. i missed nian! and then came jansen and LASTLY, SIK! wha, sik's the best, cos she's the last to talk to me last night, after my 10000 tear drops. she was sucha happy pill that i actually woke up happy today, and went to sch happy!
i have alot to thank god for seriously, though all this nonsence is stinging me.
i thankgod for the internet! i thank god for wireless, for skype, for msn, for blogs, for emails, for the air we breathe, for friends, for life, for money, for survival, for laughter, for misery.
it is through all this sadness, where we'd truly understand what joy is. all these anger that we learn wad patience is about, through this hardships, that we know what we've taken for granted.
through these strangers that we learn what love is really about.
thankyou mummy and daddy! the only reason why all this is so hard on me's cos i've always had things my way, even if i didnt, i had a brother to show my blackface to and things will justbe okay cos mummy daddy and gorgore knows what im like. inside out. daddy said im too pampered that's why i whine that the lady's very mean, and insists on staying with daddy.
maybe i dont wanna grow up, cos i love being LOVED this way. the way mummy and daddy loved me, but then again, NOBODY ELSE in the world will love me the way they do. I MISS my family, my cousins! my grandpa, auntie jessie, MY COUSINS.
blood is truly thicker than water aye.
i miss those who hold me accountable. my spiritual family too. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, no matter what.
am truly grateful for all those who've been there when i felt so homesick and lonely and sad cos of the old lady! i love you guys! sch starts tmr! will write my prayer needs and what im grateful for (:
TAKE CARE ALL!

through these strangers that we learn what love is really about.
thankyou mummy and daddy! the only reason why all this is so hard on me's cos i've always had things my way, even if i didnt, i had a brother to show my blackface to and things will justbe okay cos mummy daddy and gorgore knows what im like. inside out. daddy said im too pampered that's why i whine that the lady's very mean, and insists on staying with daddy.
maybe i dont wanna grow up, cos i love being LOVED this way. the way mummy and daddy loved me, but then again, NOBODY ELSE in the world will love me the way they do. I MISS my family, my cousins! my grandpa, auntie jessie, MY COUSINS.
blood is truly thicker than water aye.
i miss those who hold me accountable. my spiritual family too. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, no matter what.
am truly grateful for all those who've been there when i felt so homesick and lonely and sad cos of the old lady! i love you guys! sch starts tmr! will write my prayer needs and what im grateful for (:
TAKE CARE ALL!
