Spring holidays, the chateau and a tribute

Hey friends, i have missed you all dearly since our last meeting. Clearly, it has been too long since we have seen each others beautiful faces. (last year wednesday if im not wrong?) As such, a reunion is in order. As most of us are having some sort of holidays this week, we should take a day to catch up with old friends. Im sure all of you are dying to know whos doing what now, whos with who now, and most importantly, whos earning the most now. So here are the plans for wednesday:

There are two options. We may have lunch at this pasta place in Subiaco, then go to kingspark and cam whore. Or, we may go to kingspark and cam whore, then go eat at Subi.

I know, the activity sounds rather drab. But but, do note that eunice teo will be there. Yes eunice teo. If you struggle to rememeber who she is because we haven seen her in so long, eunice teo was the champion legendary woman who allowed us to have a BBQ in her house. She will be doing most of the photo taking and most of the pasta eating as well. So please, rsvp your attendance to Jiali, yes the chinese lady who has turned out quite well after all these years and we shall meet again on wednesday. I am so excited! 

Sorry for that big of rubbish above,
The tribute:
A couple of weeks back, we were in cell and I was introducing everyone. I apologise for that crappy introduction and so i decided to do a proper one, less formal from previous blog posts, befitting of the kiwis on here. So lets throw up our gang sign and read on...

Eunice teo: She is really quite a remarkable young woman. Eunice has been a real blessing to all of us this semester haha. While at times abit boring with the crappy games and the loserish refreshment themes, Eunice has shown her care to all of us in incredible ways. Plus, she works at subway in her spare time and still fits uni around all of that. Im willing to bet that if she had a car, we would be seeing alot more of her in the week. More to be said but yea, we'll leave that for cell leaders appreciation. 

Jiali:
Im sure most of you will agree that the indomitable spirit of this lady is frightening at times. However,  i respect jiali for her loyalty to her country. She is also incredibly in love with the lord jesus christ and seems to like to make food that takes ages to cook. One momenet i remember about her is during the road trip we had last semester, she told me how her brothers shoot her with toy guns. The facial expression was priceless. So i hope Jiali continues to make us laugh in cell. Perhaps maybe not hitting me so much too.

Kenny Chan: Words cannot describe how much i respect this man. Seriously, sometimes during sharing, im like, dude, thats some dope wisdom. Hes sharing has really impacted me and like just the way he does car trips and sends people home as well is pretty thought provoking, in a good way.

Gloria Tan: Another powerful woman. Loves the odd wash and makes mad dog good egg tarts. In all seriousness, very sincere and caring person too. Very entertaining at times and seems to have grown fond of the word apparently. One moment i remember of gloria is on the second day of the road trip and she was fortunate to join our car, the big willy! yea anyways, we had a good chat, cause she was sleepy. Hopefully our prized dish washer doesnt leave us next year.

Eunice wong: Wong face is just too funny. I view her with suspicion because she's always getting me into trouble. For example, on the first day of uni in semester one, i was rather unfortunate to meet her while walking to uni and we both got lost as she insisted that her way was the right way. We ended up at some weird place. Good thing Max came and saved us. But in all seriousness, Eunice wong has a really good heart and she does love to help people. Case in example, shes going to South america at the end of the year to help the less fortunate.

Linzie: Now most people will think that linzie is just the quiet little girl who smiles alot and looks very cute. But Linzie is actually quite the pro at university. Honestly, i have never seen her skip a single lecture. She is also really kind to everyone. Big thanks to linzy for giving me a jason mraz cd and introducing his music to me. We will definitely bring you to a concert one day even though you live so freaking far haha.

Janice: Well, i haven known Janice for a very long time. Most days, she does enjoy seeing me in discomfort and pain. However, i have come to realise that she is quite a nice person deep down (haha its true). She serves in the ushering ministry which plays a big part in the church and just has this huge grin on her face all the time. I remember the last time we played for cell worship together and it was my bad that she didnt get the chords right but she didn't even complain and still played on. Too good she was. She is also a great contributor in sharings, clearly, she is also very wise. (must be an age thing i swear haha).Also, she has a fondness for drawing on my feet for some reason.

Alethiea (is this spelt right): The other half of the dynamic superhero team of team jeremy. Alethiea says she pretty much sucks at everything. Guitar, piano, cooking etc etc. Haven known her for the longest time too and when i first met her, i thought that she didnt speak english. (cause you didnt speak much at all). After a few weeks of chilling at Eunice's house early before cell and moaning that we should be doing our assignments, I've come to realise that she is anything but quiet. She obviously is quite pro at the piano and obviously should give up learning how to play the guitar. One thing that i remember distinctly about her is last week at cell when we were talking about expanding team jeremy to a three piece and she laughed even though it wasn't really that funny. Too good, hope you have a good birthday soon, even though you are the second oldest person in our cell.

Lin: Another new one to my friends list. Like me, she is a fellow northie who lives in the whoop whoop of joondalup. Lin is quite possibly the most cheerful person ever. She just smiles alot for some reason. Some times i thinks its cause shes taking some pills. Jokes aside, Lin is another of those girls who wash alot of dishes during cell. I am eternally grateful to her and also very grateful that i have some one to talk to on the long ride to joondalup. She just had her birthday not long and we wish her a happy year ahead.

Lijin: And now we have the nerd (sorry ben see calls you that). A great buddy of mine ( we go all the way back to primary school), we had this one session in the law library where Ben, Lijin and myself attempted to study. Wasn't the most productive session there was. Lijin is the mentee of gloria and might soon take over her as cell dishwasher. She does this all however, with a cheerful heart. Lijin also has some mad massaging skills and i do urge you all to ask her for a quick one before cell. We are so glad we stole her from Benny's cell.

Ly: A new young fledging to the cell, we welcomed her two weeks ago when she came for a quick visit. I do hope that this introduction is more helpful to you ly. You are quite the eager learner i realise lol.

Apologies if this seems rather rush but i promise a more well written and thought out one will be written for the cell appreciation. While it is sad that we only have a few more weeks left with each other, i do hope we can grow as tight as we can and i mean, with such a cool gang sign like ours, whats not to like. Peace to all of you and we'll be praying for you. (especially for gloria cause shes quite stressed lol)
