End of a week

End of the week once again. Its been 3 weeks since i came here, still trying to adapt to the weather. Its really going to be hot in the coming days, 38degrees. This week been trying to study, so long since i last studied. Not easy to focus, moreover the writers of the book are really bad. Maybe its me, but the english they use is not easy to focus. Their points are all over the book.

Saturday, i went crabbing with OCF. Its really fun. Anyone coming to perth at the end of the year? I will bring any of you coming to go crabbing. Crabbing means catching crabs. You walk into the seashore and catch crabs with a stick. At one end of the stick, there is this metal ring in the shape of a cone. Crabs are really sad, they can only run left or right. So its really easy to catch them.

We spend two hours in the sea. During the first hour, i totally had no luck, but i had a good time reflecting and praying. Looking out to the sea and was so amaze of God's creation. How vast He is, and how small we are. He created everything so wonderful, the different islands position, the clouds and the sky.

After a good time of praying, i was asking God if i should join OCF. So i told God, if i catch a crab by the end of the day, i will join. Not sure if it was meant to be this way, but at the end i caught three crabs. Anyway, James,Lindy's bf, was good at stepping on crabs, he caught quite a few. The weather was really cold, i nearly froze to death.

Sunday i went to visit Perth Christian Living Centre. Something like that. Well it was a PentaCoasta Church. Get it? Well the pastor was not around to give a message, so i will probably go back there one more time. Worship was so really bad. If anyone want to know why, can ask me, i will not post it here.

Though i did not really join them "in spirit" for worship, i was just thinking about blessings. Correct me if i'm wrong. Now that i look at blessings, i do not feel it means good things that happen in your life. To me, its more like God's love on you. When he pour out his blessings, it can be good or bad. He can choose to shower more good things on you, or he can choose to shower more bad things on you. Its still his love of wanting you to grow, just in different ways.
Well, i may be wrong. Buts that how i look at it.

After service, came back to study, got quite a bit of work to catch up with. There was this 5-on-5 basketball tournament on. I signed up for it weeks ago. In the game, i felt quite useless. The other players are like so much taller, and faster. The moment i get the ball, they pin me down, i can not do anything, they are heavy. You think Zhiqiangs' pressing is tough, wait till you play against those Westerns. Overall had fun.

You guys remember jenny? It was hilarious, she played and was starting jumper. She had to jump against a guy who was about one and a half head taller than her. Anyway she got injured at the end of the day. Fierce.

Alright i will be heading back to my books, see you all soon. Have a nice weekahead yea. Thank God.

PS to all: Anyone knows what Melissa or Joe email is? I forgot to bring their contact over and i am suppose to meet up with them. Help! Or do you know the church that they attend, will you please be kind to let me know. Thanks alot
