Fire..I need fire!!

Today sermon is about being the salt and light of the world. Bits and pieces of the sermon is stuck in my head, but those bits and pieces had make me check on the state of my heart. Pastor Kent message - To change the way you think, you have to start from your heart. I know my mind is controlling my feelings instead. I used to "talk" to Jesus in my mind alot, now my mind seems to be out of control. Sigh... What's up with me... I felt drain and lack of motivation... damn it. What a drag... *slap myself* I need to wake up!!!

At least 1 good news. Gona have home grp in downtown area (most of the time my room) New people frm my school start goign to church with us. Today Li wei, Joo sung, Lili and Strong came. They will also been joining us for home grp hopefully. Although 3 of them do not believe in Jesus, their family are all involved in the ministry. (kinda weird isnt it?) But I trust God will touch them, is just a matter of timing.

Agrh...God, where is my fire....

Trip to the Zoo

Saturday was such a beautiful day. Is such a perfect day! I am so glad i drag myself out of my bed and make my way down to the dorm to go to the zoo trip. Jacksonville Zoo is almost like Singapore zoo, just that not as many animals as ours. Singapore zoo is the best!! Still, I am impressed. An 2 hrs drive from Savannah. I was surprise around 33 people turn up! I think eveyone is escaping from schoolwork. A little getaway before the mid-terms comes and workload gets crazy. I doubt mine can get any crazier. Math and Art history2 test this coming week and I havent study yet. How i wish is break time now! The lovely weather stay like this forever, but no...sad to say...Hahaha.... I am sorry i did not bring my camera along this trip due to my laziness... You still could check out my animals sketches here. I drew 17 pages!! I think is the 1st time sketch so much in a day.

Easter Day Dinner

Natalie had invited us over to her sister place at pooler. Around a 30mins drive from Downtown. I been there a couple of time for thanks giving and I forgot what's the other occassion. Is all about the food and decoration...haha...and fun of course. I had a chance to hold a real Gun and be one of the charlie's angel. :P

International Festival

I been wanting to post this, but just got lazy...So now i have buck up my spirit and eagerness and post this up! It was a very very cold windy morning that day. Winds are blowing so hard we got so much difficulties trying to set up our booth. It is also really scary as we have porcelains(stuffs from our landlord). Kat's jewellery are so light it got blown away a couple of time. Don's drawing were stick to the board so it alright. I am selling Dolls that i handsewn outta old clothes that was given away by one fo the church member. I sold 3 outta 5! I didnt have a chance to walk around and look at other's booth but i had a chance to drink bubble tea that i miss so much. Heee... Oh, and my friend bought me indian food. Yummy.... :) Also caught up with a few friends i have not meet over the term. Here are the pictures!

Thanks..I will be safe :)

Since so many of you have shown concern about my safety, i thought i blog abt it to ensure you guys i am safe. Hahaha....

About going out at night...is actually pretty safe as long I am cycling, the road is EMPTY and i cycle in the middle of the road where the street lamp shines on...Anyway, i hardly go out at night now since my work shift ends at 3pm. N i will make sure Kat and Don knows i am out etc. If is really too late, I will ask them to send me and pick me up...

Meeting strangers...I will always make sure i am in public places...never meet alone at the person's place and not take a stranger's ride. I never let them know where exactly i stay too. (Feel like a mum telling a kid what not to say to strangers! haha...)

What really irritates me are those men on streets that shout to me and ask how much I cost. I really feel like giving them a kick in their groin. I am like not dressing revealing! Tshirts and Jeans! Good grief... I think is because i am chinese, they thought they can disturb me. Well, most of the time i just hold my anger and cycle off. That also explains why nowadays i cycle with headphone on...

I can't be bought!

On saturday night, I finally put my D50 camera into good use by taking an indian event organise by my professor. For a 3 hr night i will be earning $30USD. On that night, there were an indian singer there and he started chatting with me... He asked me to help take more photos of him so he could send back to india to show his family. He asked me to goto his store to pass him the CD of photos and he will pay me for it. I was thinking, it was great...hey i could earn more $! So well, this morning after my math test, i went to look for his store "7to11" provision store in downtown. Is pretty amazing, i just make a turn down the street and there is the shop~ Cool! He is of cos happy to see me and i pass him the CD. I was shocked when he just took out his wallet (a few hundred notes and 10, 20sUSD notes) and ask me to take whatever amount i would take if i am his gf. Geez...I keep telling him just give me what he think he should give...Dude are u crazy?!(I didnt say this last part out...but is ringing in my head). End up i told him i will just take 10USD, but he insist giving me 40USD.
Abit pushing here and there, and me keep asking him "are you sure???" i took the $. He even tell me to take whatever i want in the store... I end up taking a packet of chewing gum. To cut the long story short...I don't want to be rude and stayed and chat awhile...n the coversation comes to the point that he said he could give me 700USD a mth if i be his gf and i don't have to worried much. *_* He wasn't like a bad scary guy but just a rich lonely man. He got several stores and a motel and he is only 26! ( I tot he is like near 40s...opps..) I told him is not going to happen...no way...well, we exchanged email and i leave for work at the gym..

Is a really weird experience...Crazy men!! Kat say must be my butt that attract him.... Yeah...this magic perky butt of mine... -_-"
