Last week and weeks to come, will be filled with hunting a car and hunting a place to rent.
Car hunting has been very frustating so far, as there just too many conflicting suggesions from people on:n1. Whether to buy from Private or Dealer.n2. Whether to buy new or used.n3. Whether to buy Toyota or Honda or something else.nNot to mention that some of the car sellers/dealers are so far away, thus need the help of people with car to go there. Andy has been very helpful so far in terms of getting me to some dealers, thank God for him, never expected to find help from him.
Another hunting to do is to find best possible price for our honeymoon.. almost certain that we are going to NZ..
Tomorrow will take a day off work, to do an interview and will hunt some units around Eastern Suburbs.. go
a be a long day, hope it’s not too hot..
Exciting but tiring..

Is Uni evil?
On the sermon today, Josh once more challenged us not to be career minded, but heavenly or God minded. It was a very good and challenging sermon from Proverbs 8.
I guess I was/am person who struggle with this issue a lot, people think career-ism is an easy struggle thus they put other struggles like singleness or homesexuality as the “real” struggles. Except for Lina, I don’t think people know that I used to have problem with contentment, last year, I am pretty sure I was qualified to be categorised in having mild depression. I came to a conclusion today, that perhaps uni IS evil. Perhaps christians shouldn’t go to uni at all, why you might ask..
Uni gives you this pride, it gives you status that you are better/more able than most people, and once you graduated you will find it very hard to be content with jobs that don’t pay as much as they should or jobs that aren’t in line with what you have studied. If you are a graduate you have the burden to be excellent in your career, if you studied at a well known uni, the burden is even more. Personally, I think it would be better for me if I didn’t do uni, then I wouldn’t have to struggle with contenment, if I knew God the way I know Him now back then, I would probably just go to a theological college or maybe even if I do go to uni, I wouldn’t put too much effort in it.. An honours degree, that doesn’t give me satisfactions in life.. what is it good for, absolutely nothing.
Or maybe if I wasn’t born as a chinese (or indo chinese), and hang around with the chinese, maybe I won’t be pressurized too much. If I was born in an aussie anglo family, I think I can be more freely enjoy this life.
Maybe Matthias ministry got it wront, if you trying to catch people in Uni to know God, it’s probably too late, put more effort in high school ministry I say and discourage people from going to uni 🙂
Anthony signed
Glad that Idol 04 ru
er up Anthony Callea has been signed up by Sony BMG, and his first single will be “The prayer”.. can’t wait to hear his version..
It’s over
Aussie Idol’04 is over, with Casey as the wi
er. Hum hum, a bit dissapointed Anthony didnt win it, but oh well, I guess he would be offered a record deal anyway. I don’t like this year’s single, I think “angels brought me here” is so much better.
Duh.. spent too much time in watching, I still have to finish up the writing of the exam report question 3, and I wa
a play DOTA.. sigh.
Rant about music
Listening to radio everyday at work for at least 4 hours, I get to listen to some songs and singers that I dislike.
First of all, Jet, they are not bad, but seriously they are just an average band. The songs sound similar to each other and yeah I just don’t see anything special about them that makes them won ARIAs awards as well as getting PLENTY of praisals from the radio stations (being the most popular Aussie band at the moment). There are better aussies band like Superjesus or Grinspoon.
Secondly, bail me out from Pete Murray, that song just gets too much airings in the radio, enough!!!! That song drives me insane. Seriously, if you want to play Pete that’s fine, but surely he has other songs that worth playing (or has he????).
Next, I know Casey Chambers is a great musician, I respect that. But her child-like voice is a
oyinggggg..
