so much has happened. where should i start?

mum went to HK for about 2 weeks and we survived! the main problem is that i end uni late and get home around 8, my dad gets home even later sometimes, and my brother is "studying" at mac uni or somewhere else and he also gets home late. and even though i need to study for my mid sems, still need to cook stuff since dad's work is more tiring than me going to uni and trekking it back home.  had stuff in the freezer, but i feel like guys don't understand the concept of defrosting. constant washing and cleaning, especially my brother who uses every single utensil and bowl possible. he's very inconsiderate. i just use 1 bowl and chopsticks to save up washing/water etc, and he grabs everything. i shouldn't complain since i was pretty spoilt during my hsc and didn't do much housework, but still, at least think about others.

at least my mum had fun, and did quite a bit of shopping. the wedding and birthday dinner photos looked so good! ahh, wish i was there. one of my cousin skipped a whole week of uni to go HK, but he does easy stuff like 2 days uni, so i guess he could.

foood! 

i've been waiting for almost 2 years to be reunited with Blueberry Ice cream Oreos <3 

my mum hand carried 7kg of food, then in her luggage was 30kg of stuff. that's pretty impressive, and  she's shorter than me as well, so pretty impressive how she managed to lug it back home. she also went on the Qantas A380, and apparently they have a self serve bar of snack food! qantas has branded cookies, so she obviously took more than her share haha.

she also bought some clothes. i didn't request any, but uniqlo clothes with technology are pretty amazing. every time i go to HK i never buy anything from there, but next time i'll have a closer look...

overly stressed for my exam. i was actually late to it since the whole m2 was just cray and didn't move. i left 45min earlier than normal. a normal trip to the city takes 40min, ended up being half an hour. luckily it was physiology and you weren't stressed for time. like people left 10min after it started-how can you physically write that fast? some people came in half an hour into the test, but still managed to finish. so i wasn't the only late comer...

if i was late t optom i would actually cry. i've never finished an optom exam, and last week was so tight for time, didn't even bother reading the short answer one. one who page of stuff to deduce. and people talking about the test after, and i got everything wrong that they said. i suck at MC. it's not worth a lot, but finals is going to be a lot harder, and if i can't even do the mid sem half correctly, well actually 65% correctly since that's the pass mark, then how will i move onto 3rd year. i did study, but just need to study even harder...must not get supps. and now to start on the assignments/catch on up lectures i've missed...at least 5 hours behind...

will talk about iPhone 6 when i have some time...not sure when...

went to Plus today, and we had a guest speaker, Pastor Jay who founded an Indian orphanage which now has about 2000 children. it's just so confronting to here what the real India is like. one of the poorest countries in the world, and even worse than China has there are no laws enforced. there are the super rich, and super poor. 4 billionaires in the world are Indian, but the country is in poverty. you can kill people and the police don't care. everyone commits suicide, and killing baby girls is very common. people with debt just poor kerosine of themselves and die, whilst other men lock their womens up or beat them with hot rods. if the police are bothered to find out about it, you just bribe them and they even help burn or bury the corspe. other stuff they do i won't go into...just so confronting to hear what the real poor India is like, and that Pastor was an orphan himself with many of his siblings dead at a young age. the amount of love he has for other orphans and his willingness to share the Gospel even though he was put in prison for some time is amazing. giving free food and clothes and a home for 2000 orphan kids takes A LOT of love. his wife is a doctor who can make heaps of money overseas, but here she helps out the kids. there's a mission team going to the orphanage again this year, but i'll be overseas, maybe next year....

we truly are blessed in Australia.
