Me?

After church today I was meant to join the choir, but Jessica needed me to teach her some chemistry, so I decided I'd just join next week.

Some of the youth group were also keen to go to the Lantern Festival tonight as well, but it was a little difficult sorting it out, and I was going to go to the Japan Festival with my family before the Lantern Festival first, so I let them sort it out.

After I had helped Jessica out, and everyone had gone home, there were just a few of us still at church, including artist extraordinaire, Wei. He's been selling paintings at the Lantern Festival for the past two nights, and I asked him if he could do a caricature of me, and this is what he came up with!

The Table is Here!

Our relatives on our mum's side offered us a dining room table set for free, as they are replacing it and want to get rid of it. 

We didn't have any vehicle big enough to transport it, so we paid some guys with a big truck to bring it over. It was just lucky we got back home from music just in time!

Parents Dinner Together

Tonight our parents' church group had a potluck dinner


While the parents sat around talking, us younger people formed our own circle and had our conversation, getting to know our special friend Kathy a bit better!


Warm Fuzzies

Tonight for youth group, Andrew, Wei and Rebecca were organising activities for us!

Andrew started off the night playing a game in the hall where we had to pass a small ball to each other. If we were passed the ball, we would have to name one person from another fellowship we met last week, and two facts about them. I got passed the ball first, and named Dannie, my pharmacist friend (that was pretty easy!)

The next game was organised by Wei. We were split into three groups. We had to complete these random tasks, such as hug 10 people, find several objects that were pink, or blue, or plastic, declare to several people that we love them, act out a way to declare your love for another without using the word 'love'...(you can get the overall theme!) For each task completed, we were given a clue to the code, which was a Bible verse. In our group, Jenny was was tasked with cracking that code!

The final activity organised by Rebecca was quite cool. We were each given a piece of paper, asked to write our name on top of it, then pass it around the circle for each person to write a nice message on, in the spirit of Valentine's Day. Some wrote ...interesting messages on others' pieces of paper, while I started to cause a backlog as I tried writing something meaningful!

Eventually we each got our pieces of paper back. They were really nice comments! 



Thanks guys, I really appreciate it! It's nice to hear once in a while (or just to get that reassurance) that people appreciate you!

Happy 14th of February

Happy Valentine's Day/Singles Appreciation Day everyone!

As usual it was just another sunny Thursday at home for me, enjoying the simple life of watching The Biggest Loser at home.

I did one surprise in the mail though. A week or two ago, I saw an ad on the side of my Facebook page, offering some free razor, so I thought I'd just fill out the form and see if they'd really give me something for free...


Sure enough, a delivery guy was at the door with a package for me!



It will definitely be a beardless Valentine's Day!
