Hey all!! its been awhile.. feels like half a year has gone past... and im like.. checking my calender and wondering why its only the 1 of march.. HOW COME IT ISNT TIME FOR ME TO GO BACK TO SINGAPORE YET?!?!
Lol..
Anyway.. things have been going ok for me here in melbourne..
I wont say great cause its kinda hard to make friends with the people in some of my courses i guess...
Here's my theory as to why: (I've moaned about it quite a lot to manymanypeople.. heheh)
80% of my course mates are angmo.
And the angmo guys wanna get to know the angmo guys, angmo girls and the asian girls.
The angmo girls wanna get to know the angmo girls and the angmo guys.
The asian girls wanna get to know the asian girls, the angmo girls and the angmo guys.
The asian guys are unloved.

So yeahh.. thats my predicament..
Fortunately for me, i still have a couple of friends left in melbourne from trinity days.. and i can make friends quite easily with the asian guys and girls, if i decide i actually wanna open my mouth to take the first step. but its still really hard to mingle.. especially with the locals.. cause when i talk to them this annoying slang comes on.. and i try to force it away.. but it doesnt go away.. and my speach is so restricted cause i keep watching what i say.. so it becomes super forced and uncomfortable.. plus with their lack of interest in us.. yeah... not a very good formula...

But i really thank God for supporting me even now, when i have like.. no friends.. to just send people my way that i can talk to, so i dont feel so lonely and stuff..
Like i randomly ran into my friend, Grace, when i had a free period in between.. and she bought me drinks and stuff and we sat and talked..
And Jolene, my old trinity friend, who came into the computer lab when i was super annoyed at the computer cause i didnt know how to enrol properly.. and she spotted me and helped me through the bigbig mess..
And Shirlyn, my primary school friend who appreciates all the small beauties in life, and lives upstairsss!! =DD
And Ean, who was such a great friend to me all the way, helping me through many of my problems..
And the bubbly aussie aquintance Georgina who sat beside me during my lecture and actually took an interest in me..
And many other people..

Its been such a blessing, to see how God has provided me with the love and care that I need to start up my year at uni straight and correctly.

Anyway, heard that you guys have been doing great!! =)hahah.
Let God continue to be the center and core of our cellgroup ok? =)
Just keep growing in him and let your light shine brightly. Because where the light is, darkness cannot survive.

(Romans 3:38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 12:5) So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all others.

This is part of the lyrics in the closing song of the video you guys gave me.

Somehwere out there, if love can see us through, then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true..


I know my God's love can see us through.

Take care and God bless,
Joel.
