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 about her experience and her life.
My excitement for her return continued on and on and at the end realised that I had ordered a wrong meal because I was talking so much, it was hard to eat my fish head. I should have just ordered something simpler to eat so two of them wouldn't have to wait for me to finish it. Still I have to say fish heads are really yum! I know most westerners do not eat fish heads, and actually not many people like it, but it is something I always love eating. Yes, another fact about Judy-she likes fish head.
After meal Gracey and I visited Shel's UniLodge and continued talking and talking that I didn't leave for my early Karaoke farewell party until the last minute. Oh, I have decided to go travel in Gold Coast with Gracey, Shel and Lucy in a week time. YAY!!!! ESTOY EXCITADO~~
Around 8:30pm, I left the city for Glen Waverley for another gathering-my farewell party.
I really am thankful for this group of friends from church, although I have not been at the church for long, it was very kind for them to organise this farewell for me. I really thank God for someone to hold a party for me. The secret is--For many years, my birthdays have not been celebrated and I have felt more and more sad because my special day was hardly shared with anyone. I have not told anyone before and perhaps not many people have realised because I often pretend it's fine not to have birthdays, but in fact it's not.
It is not my friends fault, but my birthday is during the summer holidays where most of them friends are overseas.....
So attending birthday parties is something really gets me because again it will remind me that no one celebrated my birthday with me. ESPECIALLY 21st. Having said that, I try to celebrate it with people because I know what it feels when birthdays are not celebrated with a cake.
Anyhow, my big birthdays have past and so there are no more to be celebrated with feasts or speeches...etc. Life still goes on.
That is why I was really really really thankful for this farewell party! I was given a dairy book and a big card with everyone's message in it, words cannot express how much I feel loved and how special it was for me.
Big Thanks to my beloved Jesus who provided good friendship for me and the friends who love and care for me. I had a great time singing karaoke and talking with people. We sang until 2:30am. By the time we finished, even though I was feeling tired because of the long day, but my spirit was high as is was indeed an EXTRAORDINARY day.
MUCHA MUCHA GRACIAS!
