Today was such a busy Saturday for me. In the morning was marketing time. Went down to Coles with Huiqian, Chris, Dwi Jen, Meisi, Lydia and Joey. Stayed about 2 hours there to do grocery shopping. Here, we have to buy enough supples to last us for the next 7 days or so. Sometimes you are just spoilt for choice or just don' t know what to cook for the coming week. For me, I usually look out for different stuff so that with my time here, I'll be able to try out all the different stuff they have and hopefully some Ozzie meals as well. I should tell you, I finally cooked a Kangaroo steak the other night. It is really yummy actually. For those out there who thinks it tastes weird, just to tell you if you don't know, it don't taste that much different from beef. And for the weight cautions, it is healthier than beef. So, there you go.
In the afternoon went to church to attend Ps Benny's seminar for the study of the Book of Joel. I must say he is really a good teacher of the Word. Got lots of insights and encouragement from this session. Made me excited for doing ministry as well.
In the evening, went with my old flatmate Mark to Emily's house warming. My first time going to a caucasian party. There's like only 2 Chinese people there I think. I am happy to have met friends like Mark and Emily. People usually say that it's hard for the Asians to mix with the Ozzie and stuff and you tend to stick in your own group of people. But I have found really good Ozzie friends as well. Met another guy called Alex there as well who wants to take me go fishing sometime. Hmm.... fishing sounds like a lot of fun actually. Anyway, had a good time at the party. Had BBQ food and a bath tub full of Beer and stuff.
I found a difference between Asian and Caucasian parties. In Asian culture, it seems that the food we eat at a party is more important while the Caucasians cared more for their drinks. For their drinks mean alcohol and stuff. It's like the important thing in a party something CANNOT to be missed....ha ha! Had a really good time there getting to know more people. Cool!
After that, came back and joined Weijie, Meisi, Zen and Joey for another round of horror movie. But the night's still not done. Don't know why they all suddenly say wanna go for a night run. So was dragged along as well. It's a cool night but we still did it anyway. Ran about half of the uni. It wasn't too bad. But have to keep cheering Meisi on. Meisi, you gotta Ganbatte!!!!
