It's been 3 weeks in this strange new land.
I should update..before i get angry emails demanding that i update=p haha
So....let's see..i've officially started classes..and it has been good. haha can't believe that i'm saying this but yeap, classes have been good. the only thing is that it's tiring getting to my classes. the half an hour journey trekking in the shivering cold to my classes from my accommodation needs some getting use to. yes i still find it COLD. the weather mostly ranges from 8 Celsius to 15 Celsius. you try walking for half an hour in that cold=p
PLUS..i actually went to the library at least 5 times in the past weeks!!! haha i've never been to the library as much before in my entire of of being a student! AND AND i borrowed 6 books already! 6! i'm quite proud of myself. (it's just that I haven't started reading much yet..heh..)
one of my assignments is to do a research on film and television. and i choose to research a film! how cool is that! research film! movies! i find it so cool!!!! had to get books on researching about films though since i have absolutely no background on film studies. haha not too smart of me i guess, having to do double work, have to learn about film studies first before i can get started. But i still find it cool to be able to research on film so i'm still quite excited=)
it's odd..i didn't feel that homesick during my first 2 weeks here.. but last week when i thought i finally settled down..there were days that i really started to miss home..you know what i miss? besides my family...i miss being able to just go out and have a drink...those who know me and my fav drink..my teh 'ping'=p..i miss getting smses! haha it's expensive for us to sms here coz as you know everything also times 7..=p so we hardly msg each other here, if we need to, we just call our own house extensions or just wait la till the next day.. and of course, no one from m'sia msges me anymore! haha can't blame you guys coz i wouldn't be able to sms back much anyway=p..i miss....just hanging out with close friends...making silly jokes or comments and watching people's stunned faces looking back at me..and what i really missed was.. having heart to heart talks. just sitting there or lying on the bed talking about what's going on, or talking about spiritual stuff, reminiscing...ahhhh i need good friends.
i went for a cell group thingy last Friday. it was good. now i see why it's important to get attached to a church or a cell group. i don't know how to adequately put my thoughts into words..i think this is a place where you find comfort, sort of belonging to a new family, knowing that whatever happens, there will be people who will try to support you in whatever you go thru, and that they understand the struggles that I go thru, and the thing that matters most is just to be able to hang around people who love God too, who loves to worship and praise Him, that is just..well to me, it's comforting, and good for my soul.last Friday was also interesting because the topic was talking about how God sometimes says no to you because He knows what's best for you and that the best is yet to come. even though you sit there and whine, "BUT i thought you said you love me!!!" He still says no to some things because He knows that's not really what you need but you need something else and that, He intends to give. and sometimes He allows certain things to happen to test you, to see whether you put Him first or you put material wealth or other people first..Will I put Him first and trust that He in is control, and be rest assured that i'm the apple of His eye=) He Loves me and truly has the best of my interest at heart, so will I be patient and wait to see what He has in store instead of settling for second best?
..that was a personal reminder and encouragement. again this was Godly timing..
anyway..on to pictures..
This is the super lamb banana. if you come to Liverpool, you will see this everywhere. it's a combination of a lamb..and..banana. The Lamb Banana has become one of the most instantly recognisable and popular symbols of the City of Liverpool
