Last minute

I think a lot of us like to do things in the last minute. I am organising for a group of 14 people including me to go to the football match. After all the hard work, two weeks ago I finally managed to book the tickets for everyone, however, yesterday some people told me they can not go today. This is annoying because everyone said they were going, but just the day before they tell you that they cannot go.

Even though the tickets were free, but there are still a lot of people wishing to go but do not have tickets. They are taking this for granted. Moreover, if they told me a few days earlier, I might be able to find people who may be interested to go.

Through this experience, I learn to be more reliable and trustworthy when promising someone for something. If there is anything urgent, I will try to tell the person as soon as possible, but NOT last minute.

I admire people who work as an event organiser, who constantly have to face all these last minute frustrations!

What a fulfilled day!

I had a super busy day yesterday, but had a great time. From morning, I went to Uni to collect my exchange documents. Straight after that I went to a lovely friend's house to help clean her house for today's house inspection. She is planning to sell her house, so she needed her house to be abolutely spotless and we really worked hard to make it like a display house..... By the end of it, although there were still millions of things to do, it was better than it was. We went for a walk in the bush for a while afterwards, it was refreshing and indeed a great exercise after a month of staying at home. After the cleaning and bushwalking, I went straight to the city again to meet up my beloved friends for dinner. Shel had been in the US for exchange for one year and I was really excited to see her after one full year. Gracey is a quiet girl but is easy going and has a smile that make people feel comfortable and warm. During the meal, I couldn't help asking Shel many questions abo...

Yay! Accomodation in Japan is finally confirmed

I am going on a study exchange in Japan for six months from September and am really excited about it. It took seven months to know whether or not I was accepted. During these few months, it really tested my patience and trust in God. Talking about accomodation, it was indeed very confusing and frustrating. At the end of May, Waseda University opened their online housing questionnaire to all fall semester entry students. However, none of the Melbourne University applicants received any information about it. In fact, for a few months, we didn't hear anything about our application. Not until the 9th June, which was two days before the housing questionnaire deadline did we receive an email about our failure to submit one. The most confusing thing was that we didn't even know whether or not were accepted but the first email we received was about our failure to complete an application. I emailed our exchange coordinator soon after I received the email, but unfortunately she told us s...

God is good, very very good!

This time I have again experienced God's love and promises for me. It has shown me clearly that God is faithful and He does things in His own timing. And Judy, TRUST that I AM~ Last week had been a hectic week as many unexpected events happened. As people know, I am planning to go to Japan, and have been renting a house. Hence, before going, I need to sell all the furniture I own and clear the house by 5 th August. A month ago, I started plannig and had organised a storage place to put away everything and was pleased. Unexpectantly, a week ago, I was notified that I was not able to put away any of the furniture in the planned storage place. With no other choice, I quickily tried to find someone to sell to, a person expressed great interest and promised to buy everything from me, however, at the end the person did not end up buying anything. As a result, all these series of events happened had given me incredible stress and burden. In fact, I became extremely worried as having to se...
