A child has died in the time it took to load this page.

So today was the first day I went to collect donations for the 40 hours of famine thing that my cell is doing. When you are the one that is collecting the donations, it really makes you wonder what is so hard about giving money to the less fortunate. On the other hand, sadly I can imagine myself thinking the total opposite if someone approaches me like that. I have never really felt how it feels when you are collecting donations for a good cause and people make jokes and all (I have probably never taken anything of this sort seriously till now), not that I find it insulting.

I think it has to do with just our culture, we are hardly ever taught to give a thought to people on other continents who are needy (not saying that there are no needy people in our country), we just think that they are too far away and it is none of our business. We are all the same species, we all have the same basic biology, we are all humans. It is really sad to think that there are people in the world who go to bed hungry every night and when it is not their fault that they are in such an unfortunate position. Stories i feel most impacted by are parents who have to choose which of their children would eat today and which ones would eat tomorrow. Imagine your parents telling you that you cannot eat today and that it is your turn tomorrow. That would suck right?

So my cell group will give up furniture this weekend. Unfortunately I can't join them as I would be in Sydney. I would probably do it when I come back next week and when I am totally not sick anymore.

behind time

So due to me being sick last week (and I'm still sick now), I've got an extension for my HOI essay till this Thursday. Unfortunately, I just started writing it and haven't really thought much about it. My nose is still killing me, I've used so much tissue, I can't even start to think seriously about doing work. I just feel like sleeping.

Instead of thinking about my essay, I'm thinking about skipping my first class tomorrow as my friend just told me it's a waste of time and it's super boring. Haha I just might skip it if I don't wake up in time.

Really should be working on my essay instead of blogging.

psych made me sick.

Really, I think the lack of sleep from doing my hoi essay totally caused me being sick now. I feel so horrible, physically I mean. I'm coughing like crazy, my nose is all red and my throat hurts like hell. It's so bad I had to get an extension for my hoi essay :) but I still went to school today, can't stand ah, I'm so dedicated haha.

So drama performance is going to be okay I hope... the rehearsals so far went okay in my opinion, don't know about the rest though. Can you believe we are forced to do drama over here in melbourne!

Feel so sick now, I think I'll just go to bed and hopefully forget to wake up for drama practice. If anybody from my drama group sees this, I'm just kidding :)

Next weekend, I'm going to sydney. And hopefully the weekend after next I can go snowboarding if mummy lets me. CAN'T WAIT

addicted

Just got back from cell, finally found the time to blog, at last!

I love snowboarding!! Just wish I could go every weekend. Only thing stopping me are essays.... I am so behind my work, marcus, faster start doing work. So last weekend, went to Mt. Hotham which was damn fun!! Snowboarding is just better than skiing, it's such a different feeling. Fell like crazy though, I think my ass had blue blacks. Hopefully going at least one more time this year. I bought all my ski gear! No need to rent anymore :) And I love my outfit, it's so easy to spot me.

So jiejie, kj, shuanne and I went up the mountain, sadly shuhuei couldn't go, as I mentioned previously, she was sick! Thank God she didn't have swine flu. It was super fun, there were alot of other trinity people up there too, counting me, there's like four groups I think. Met tsang, peiwen and peiqi on saturday, then they stayed over cos we had dinner till quite late, we played card games and all. For poker we used monopoly money haha. It's so good to have steamboat up the mountain, we freeze outside and then go inside and it's so warm. Went up for two days, but only snowboarded for one day, it was raining on sunday, so we decided to leave the mountain and go visit a winery. Wasn't such a bad idea I think, the snow would have been really hard that day haha. Now some pictures to liven up my blog:

ALL OF US

Only mel isn't looking at the camera :)

Isn't my jacket and pants so cool!

Last pic on the mountain.

Damn I want to go for another ski trip like right now. CAN'T WAIT.

LET'S GO AGAIN OKAY?!
