It's my 4th day back in Perth.. and i've moved into St. Catherine's College already. Life in college is not bad. The people are really nice. My neighbour is quite funny (She's really into korean songs. The songs 'Gee' and 'Nobody' is stuck in my head. haha) Got to know a few different people from Italy, China, Hongkong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia.. The food here so far has been quite alright too. My bedroom is in the quieter wing of St. Cats compound, though it's a little distance away frm the main entrance, but i guess the environment is not bad for studying (:

School has started today, but for the first week it's just lectures, so it's still kind of like.. a little relax. Next week onwards, when tutorials start, it should be starting to become busier with tutorials and soon enough, assignments. haa. The weather now is still hot, only mornings and nights are cooling.. so in the afternoons, im trying to find shady areas to walk. haha :p

Sunday, i went back to PACE (Perth Alliance Church - English congregation). It's always nice to see familiar faces, and even nicer when you feel welcomed back by your friends (: While i was sitting down, praying before worship started, there was only one thing was on my mind, which is - Thank You God.. thank You.

Im really thankful for each day that God has been guiding and taking care of me. Whatever that i was worried about (like my moving hse, furnitures, settling down back in Perth, etc.. ) He took care of it and everything was ok in the end. God is really good to me (: and one more thing that i feel even more thankful for is that, God has granted me peace in my heart. Since i reached Perth till now, I have this peace in my heart. Even though there maybe times when i start to feel panicky/worried, somehow, i will manage to calm down and feel peaceful. 这种平安是从神而来的吧 (:

Thank God for my close friends and family back home too. My holidays back in Singapore, i truly enjoyed it, especially the time spent with each of them. Perhaps that why, im re-charged with all their love and support and was ready to return back to Perth. haa (: I do miss you all, but i know 4 months will fly. Meanwhile, i've got to make the best out of these 4 months.

I hope that i won't be forgetful of God's grace towards me, and that i will learn to be thankful always (:

it's just one more day left, and then i'll be back in perth. having mixed feelings. but im more prepared this time round i guess..

对，是时候收拾心情，重新冲刺了. have to re-adjust the mindset.

I'll see you all again in 4 months..

Upon reaching home after picking my korkor up at the airport just now. I am suddenly hit with this sense of familiarity and warmth by everything around me.

My korkor playing the guitar in his room. My younger bro packing his school bag. My younger sis in her sleepy state, asking my mum to sign some school form. My mum asking my siblings to quickly pack their things and then go to slp and she herself looking very sleepy too. My dad, switching on his laptop and doing his work. My grandma sleeping soundly already.. while 邓丽君's voice is playing from the vcd player (haa, cos my kor bought the CD for my dad. Theresa Teng is my dad's favourite. heehee). Nothing extraordinary, special or unique. Just like one of those normal days for us (minus the 邓丽君 part la. we dnt play her songs in our house everyday..haa)

The familiarity of it all.. Home (:
一家团圆真好..

2 more weeks! Time flies when you're enjoying every minute of it (:
