Hello, world. Rachietan's back from Nevernever Land.
Well, let's start with the most important:

I AM GONNA BE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST!! Yesyes, I got my results back yesterday and look! God has blessed me with all A's again! I am so grateful to Him, because I really don't think I deserve such fantastic marks. But well, looks like my studying, praying and believing paid off. I still can't believe that I actually made it, that I managed to meet the requirements to study Physiotherapy in the university. Its really unbelievable, because all my life I never thought that I would succeed in something, especially studying but with God's grace I totally did it!
Right now I'm just really happy that my coming here to Melbourne has not been in vain, and that I didn't waste my parents' money. The stress that I wouldn't be able to perform up to their expectations (yes, typical Asian paranoia) was really bearing down on me, and that sucked because I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to get into physio and my parents' sending me here would be a waste of precious money. But well I guess I did beat the odds and pull through it! Even though it was only eight months, it was definitely a long journey.
Ironically I scored the highest in chemistry, out of all the other subjects. And to think I hated chemistry and seriously had no idea what was going on most of the time. Haha so yeah, God really answered my prayers! I'm pretty sad to say goodbye to chemistry actually.. But well, I'm just glad that I managed to finish off on a good note. (: As for math.. Well, its good to say sayonara to business math. I don't ever want to see it again. Ever. Hahaha yes, its that bad and I hate it. But again, I only have God to thank for getting an A because I thought I'd get a B.
Anyway, to celebrate my God-given marks and getting into physio, I am going vegetarian for two weeks as part of a promise to God. I had told God that I would make a sacrifice to Him and be vegetarian for two weeks to give Him His due praise and thanks. And I figured that its really nothing anyway, compared to what He's done for me all this while. So yeah, today is the second day of my two weeks. While getting groceries yesterday, I actually felt really happy and proud that I am able to glorify God this way, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. I mean, hey I'm actually making a sacrifice to Him! Not once have I ever done something like this for Him before. Sure, I may have thanked Him through prayer and stuff, but I think this time its different. I really have no idea how to put forth how I feel right now, but I am really enjoying it right now. Even though I do crave for meat hahaha but that's just the devil tempting me. And for the record, Rachietan will NOT give in to temptation and will see the two weeks through!
Hallelujah, praise the Lord. (:
Well, ever since the exams ended I haven't been up to much. Most of the time has been spent rotting in my room, watching shows and engaging in a craft project. But since the project has been completed, I've been left with nothing else but my shows to keep me busy. I did go out on Sunday though, in the morning to St. Kilda market and in the evening to Federation Square to watch a live screening of the Australian Open Men's Final. And I must say, that was an awesome experience. Next up on my list is to get tickets to the Rod Laver Arena and watch my favourite players in person! :D
I am seriously dying of boredom now. I want to go out and do something badly but I have no idea what to do because everything here is so bloody expensive and far away. Its times like this that I wish I was in Singapore, the land of cheap and good food, and affordable movie tickets. SIANZZZZ!
Gonna be moving out of my current room in Tower 10 into my permanent room in Tower 12 on Friday.. God has answered my prayers once again and I will be living on the same floor as some of my friends from Glenn! Hopefully Kakak will be assigned to the room next to mine, and that Gen will be near by too! I do hope that I don't get the small room though.. Those are pathetically puny. But sigh, this means having to pack my stuff once again. DOUBLE SIANZZZZ!
This Friday/Saturday also marks the start of a new phase in some of my friends' lives too! Because they will finally be enlisting into army. Hahaha, I am so eggcited for them!! I do hope that God blesses them with many good friends, friends who are decent and who will prove to be a pillar of strength and support for each other. So to Edmond, Kenny, Anthony, Jason, Lewis, Dudley, Dong Zheng and whoever else is enlisting on those days, may God be with you guys and I will be praying for you! Have fun guys (:
Alright. I'm too lazy to carry on now. Hahaha ta!
