Its been a while since i've blogged. Firstly, i blame the really snail slow speed internet at my bendigo place - capped 1.5 weeks into the semester (not a good thing)! Secondly, the first few weeks of uni have been totally awesome and packed: heaps to do and not enough studying done lol. Meh, i have a day free today, one of many free days that i have been having - i serz think there is something fishy about my course having so little hours, but i cant complain =]

And so 1st week started off with Mel's birthday surprise...and boy was it an awesome surprise! The dent kids have already organised a dent get together for the first wed back, and double that as a surprise bday for mel. however, it was discussed that it was too obvious and so we decided to surprise her on the wed morning, the morning that nhat, doey and i have been summoned to help with mel's ex-house's gardening (lol). So the rest of the gang hid away in her ex-house and surprised her when she opened the door (she did fall back onto me with the huge surprise). Good one! She has since been very prone to sudden "boo"s from nhat and i at random times hehe. The wed night gathering didnt end up surprising mel anymore, but a huge group of us had heaps of fun and grace and i managed to introduced HATS to the dent group; a slightly modified version but still awesome nevertheless~

Then prep for Grace's bday had to begin. So we all decided to stay back on the fri morning despite having no classes that day. We decided to make a music vid for grace + add sarah and my speech on the end of that. Choosing the song was pretty easy but the lyrics were so hard to make up. We ended up with "hot and cold" by katy perry > what followed was hours of song lyric creation.
Final product:
U-MAT stuffed us up, you don’t know
Melbourne U turned us down, now we live in a hole
93 miles away, travelling is a pain
You should know, we thought Bendigo was lame!

Cause you’re hot and you burn
Outside of Melbourne
We’re in and we’re out
We pack and unpack

You’re hot and you’re cold
Outside of Melbourne
We doubt and we hope
We laugh and we joke

(You) You don’t really wanna stay, no
(But you) You don’t really wanna go-oh

Cause you’re hot and you’re cold
In Bendigo world
We doubt and we hope
We joke and we laugh
4 hours straight, we have prac in the lab
Start at 8, mutilate, Wilson don’t appreciate
Waste material, water fights, rubber dams, n fluoride
We should know, just another day in the lab

Cause we drill and we fill
We mix and we cure
We scale and we fail
We burn and we learn

Anatomy’s a drag
We sleep or we wag
So we couldn’t care less
Last minute we stress

(You) You don’t really wanna stay, no
(But you) You don’t really wanna go-oh

Cause we drill and we fill
We mix and we cure
We scale and we fail
We burn and we learn
Someone call the dentist
Got a case of gingivitis
Quick check up, get a big loan
I’m gonna buy a car

We try our best to put a smile on your face

Yeah, Bendigo is cool
We meet. We have fun
We scream. We play games
We hang as a gang

We drill and we fill
We mix and we cure
We scale and we fail
We burn and we learn

lyrics by: sarah, rach, ika, mel, damo, ken, harry
special thanks to yuin, thu, henry, lorry, and doey

music:
katy perry's "hot and cold" - remake + new lyrics
rob thomas's "little wonders" (GWSC class of '07 graduation song)
I'm from barcelona's "the painter" (featured on HIMYM: w00t! awesome as tv show)

note: due to consensus of the group - we've decided no to put the video up - till later, maybe xP. But if u wanna view it, just ask =]

2nd week was pretty much all spent on making grace's vid, from tues arvo's group singing to the entire wed devoted to editing the some videos to me and mel staying up to 5am on wed night editing the rest of the video. It was a super long week and hats off to the gang (sarah, ika, mel, yuin, thu, damo, henry, lorry, ken, harri) for an awesome effort. video may be posted up soon. ooh and today is grace's actual bday - Happy Bdae Grace (and sharon pau) =] And another bday was sharon's bday. Epic fail by me: mashed brocolli and carrot soup - it did sound nice tho, when presented :P

Other notable events:
laser tag night with the first years, good fun and awesome meeting the 1st years - and epic fail on the run in on the guy's photo by mel and i

watchmen night - ppl thought mel and i had tourette's; mel's super loud shout "the movie's started!!"; damo wanted to 'watch men'

2nd year is not too bad so far. lol, that was horrible grammar (english skills deterioration). The fact that we know everyone already and that we are all close as a gang =] Visits to people's houses have been plenty: including a late night visit to ally's place (with cookies!!); pool at damo/henry/roman/jase's; "tute questions" night at alistairs - which quickly turned into talk/pool night LOL.

but the most of the time have been spent at PT (house at bendigo) - mucking around with nhat, doey and mel. Eeyore has been the subject of many kidnappings...and many ransom photos. Us four have heaps of fun marathoning tv shows (dexter, big bang, sarah connor chronicles); making midnight snacks; playing mao (mel still hasnt won yet LOL!); juggling; playing guitar (and attempted singing). Ah, its only been 3 wks and its a chaotic house!!

rach out =]

Sitting at 2am, i suddenly find myself in a state of peace - i don't know if its "you alone are God" on constant repeat or the feeling that this year is going to be dramatically different. Yes, it is the 2nd day of uni, and no, i havent started any study at all, yet, there is this apprehension in the air - something is going to change. I don't know if it going to happen now, or sometime in the future, but there is something stirring in my heart - the year of revelation, the year of empowerment, the year of change. All through last year, i constantly felt that nothing has been done, nothing has been forwarded in God's kingdom in Bendigo - why does it sometimes take that long to realise stuff?

I've always been a really big thinking sort of person - the analytical stuff, but it seems that something is blinding me from releasing one's potential in Bendigo. Hmm, i guess i just have to rely more and more on God and ask Him to use me daily =] Yesterday, something reminded me that life is not meaningless, we have chances, opportunities - we must take hold of them and not let them pass by. Have the courage and faith to jump in (or dive in) and trust God.

Also, i was reflecting on my goals for last year. I totally believe that i know a little part of God's plan for my life, but am afraid to take the risk, or i end up making excuses to not perform it. The holy spirit urge is constantly pushing me to "just do it" - cmon rach!! I pray that this year, something will change, and i will have greater confidence in God's plan for my life =]

anyways random notes here and there. must sleep now - or watch the k-drama janice lent to be *hehe* =P
