early morning

It is lovely at this hour when one is awake, I must say. I went to sleep at 2am, woke at 6am, and I've been out of bed since 6.30am. Church starts at 11.30, but maybe I should go for the 9.30 service?

Hmmmm...I'm thinking about what I could possibly share. I didn't really have anything in mind when I came to blogger.com, I guess it just gives me something to do. Haha.

I haven't been up to all that much this holiday...I've still managed to enjoy myself though. Been hanging out with church people a lot, occasionally see a couple of friends from Sydney, go shopping now and then, bump into people here and there, spend some time with the family, etc etc. One thing I've realised: it is much easier to make new friends than to keep them. The only old friends I've caught up with are Ruth and Ivan. Somehow it's so difficult to catch up with everyone. I mentioned this to Chernwei, and he told me that I'm entering that age where I'll meet my life-long friends. This inevitably means that many old friends are going to fall away, and that's sad, but it's just a fact of life that we gotta face. =(

On the flipside, I've been meeting heapssss of new people. I wonder how many I will manage to keep in touch with?

I'm excited, anxious and calm all at the same time when I think of these upcoming months. Uni is starting, I'll be living alone and I need to get a job. Gotta try and maintain close contact with my family overseas. I'm hoping to serve in church, although I don't know exactly which ministry to serve in. I was planning to do grade 8 piano this year too, but I'm really not sure how I'll fit that in now. Gotta get my driving hours done too! 2008 is set to be a year of big change, this girl really needs some prayer for good time management. Even just the thought of living alone is starting to make me tired. Hello cooking, cleaning, laundry, bills, yada yada. Goodbye, free time. Law readings look incredibly daunting, let alone the classmates who are the top 0.7% of the state. Then there's the one hour of travelling time to uni, and the one hour back home. Social life? What's that?

I wonder where I'm heading with all this. I do believe God has plans for me though. Watch me grow. =)
