Its my birthday yo. Sigh……

I notice a disturbing trend on almost all my birthdays. I remember before the army a good majority of my birthdays involved me being quite violently ill (I recall one birthday spent shivering on my bed with a 40 degree fever thinking that Dexter from the cartoon show Dexter Laboratory was after me with a laser gun) and during the army being made to do guard duty on my birthday. That is quite depressing don’t you think? Very very depressing. So in Perth I thought it would be different? My first birthday in Perth? Right in the middle of my final exams. Brilliant right?

Okay people will protest that I did have some really awesome birthdays like the one I had i Church Camp where the little british group decided to create an awesome notebook for me. I’m really thankful to them for all that!

So what did I do in Perth for my birthday? Well I ‘celebrated’ it on the day before, Cheeps came over to hang out and then went with the girls to Subi market to eat a late lunch. After that went back to watch How I Met Your Mother before meeting the girls again to go Fremantle for some reason then back to Northbridge for ramen and wandering around. Finally getting our dirty paws on a bottle of Absinthe (Green Fairy) and some beer, we proceeded home to the girls house to sample the forbidden fruit that is Absinthe. Okay first off, it taste like Listerine, mixed with alot of alcohol. Goodness. It was horrible. Research however shows that adding cold water and sugar to the mixture made it alot more drinkable as we have all discovered.

I thought about it. Wow, I survived one full year in Perth studying Taylors College. Its quite unbelievable that I could stand that much horror in that place and in Perth. I know I whine and moan about things that happened to me in Perth and the things happening in school but when I think about the stuff that happened to me, I can say that God really has a plan for me and everything worked out in some strange way. Well, lets see. If I did not go into Taylors College at this specific time and intake I would not have had the chance of meeting people like Syen, Thin and others which at first seemed like nothing but they would go on to make a huge impact in my life in the second half of my Taylors existence. Making the effort to know Nad would then set the stage for me knowing Kaiy even better and that would even lead to my “salvation” and finding a church to settle in Perth. So yeah I guess everything else was part of God’s long and weird plan.

One thing that I’m extremely grateful to God is for letting me know a bunch of supremely awesome people in church. I can safely say if it weren’t for these people, I would have gone insane and killed myself in Perth. Thank you Eunice, Shannon, SK, Shuyen, Kaiyi, Thinn, Wilson, Adeline, Christine and Pauline for being so awesome people! Words cannot describe the fun times I had in cell with you guys. The ninja Shearn and err..Cheeps , these 2 are fascinating people who I am so glad to count as bros. (Stop watching How I Met Your Mother….But I need to finish Season 5).

There was another major reason to go to church today besides the usual reasons of going to church….You know like to worship God and so on but…Okay first some back story to establish context. I go to this church in UWA called Zion Praise Harvest which is awesome. I’m part of Eunice’s cell (still am yay) which is also awesome, there are a number of cells in the church and there are alot of people in these cells. Okay so back to the main story. Today was the day they announced the new cell arrangements for Semester 2. I’m glad that I am in the same cell as before and while we lost alot of people to the young upstart Wilson but I’m happy. . Wilson is gonna be AN AWESOME CELL LEADER!

SINCE ITS MY DAMN BIRTHDAY.

WHERE THE FRACK ARE MY PRESENTS?!
