~May Your Light Shine :D~

the only reason i can give for not updating earlier is plain laziness or maybe my life was so mundane, it was not worth blogging about. however just as i was a number 1 bummer before i now have too many things to handle.

it never rains, it pours. and just like how previously the days were all sunny and bright and the dreary, rainy ones are back, my life before and now seems just like the weather.

i was royally pissed when I called Lapmate a few days ago to find out that the 3yr warranty displayed on the packaging of their optical mouse is in actual fact only 1 yr since I got it when I bought my lappie from NUS. This mouse was spoilt the moment I took it out just before I left, and they gave me the wrong information then so I had no chance to change it. Since I have been away, the 1yr warranty is already over so I am stuck with a useless mouse that I never got to used.

the same day, my brother and i went to funan to buy the wireless router. finally, i can use wireless at home. and thank God, we manage to set it up after hours of frustration. i suggest that Linksys give instruction manuals that are clearer . 2 days ago, my SD card seems to be having trouble being read by my comp. Just figured it out that i could format it on my digicam and it is as good as new. Thank God I do not need to make a trip down to Albert Complex to get it fixed.

the next 3 days I will be going out non-stop, to meet up with friends. although it is thoroughly enjoyable to catch up with people, it takes a toil on your wallet and alot of your time as well. but i guess certain things can't be helped if you are not around 9mths of the year.

wat truly bothers me now is the fact that my intended housemate has bought a house. but it is not walking distance to school and it is only available late march. so regardless of whether i choose to stay with her or not, i will have to find a place to stay the moment touch down. so its back to, looking for housemates, a place to stay that is reasonable, all these without being in Adelaide. which makes things really hard and i feel really bad asking my friend for help. God please grant me wisdom in choosing the place and who to stay with.

Praise the Lord that the vision for this year's OCF flinders is out - "His image, His reflection". Now I have to start planning the program for the year as well as the bible studies. Will have to discuss with Rach how to settle DG (discovery group). I know fully well what I have to do, but I can't seem to stop the feeling of being helpless from creeping in. Perhaps its good that I realize that I can't do it on my own strength, but my only hope lies in God. As has always been my problem, head knowledge seldom equates to heart knowledge. Back here, I dunno why but I feel really distant from God. Examining myself, maybe its due to the fact that I have unlimited usage of the internet, a ton more interesting shows to watch on TV or that I have stop actively serving. I guess I am someone who loves by serving, but am I mistaking service for a real relationship with God? I'm still looking for the answer...
