Hark-the-Harold

Haih, things are getting a bit out of fathom i think. The ever existing cash flow problem, loneliness (errr, this one a bit debatable,as i enjoy being single, can dash here or there without strings attached, just that my frens have all hitched up, i am left as the last lone ranger). Have not found a better paid work yet ( love my current se-cu job, just i dun get to work often). the south island trip worries me too (money, safety). even though my winter break has just started, i could not wait to for the semester 2 to start. at least i can worry about assignments first than these trivial yet troubling things. hopefully i did well this sem. its def better then what i got in IPBA i think.

My last two tramping trips were very nice though, what a consolation to my grieving soul. the last one where we went to Waitakere Ranges was an advanturous one. We hiked the mt don mclean track then down the Pararaha valley. it was so cool as we were trailing the river before we tramped into a gorge and have to pull some cool stunts like rock climbing and ducked low to keep still when the super strong wind blew at the speed than even me being 69kg felt like i can be blown away any minute. was a good fun. no regret going to the tramp even on my own without any of my 18+ frens. the other one was to Shakespear regional park. mostly hills with bushes, beaches and sheeps. baaaaa!!

as for the worrying, its comforting to read from the Bible that i should not worry too much, things will turn to the bright side as God will provide with what i need. just have trust and be optimistic. Sigh* if only it is that easy.

Well it has been a long time since i post anything on the blog. many things have happened throughout the weeks. will give a summary and also the current status and concerns as well.

Well i have been out tramping for another two times now. the first one being the Whatipu-Omanawanui track and the Mahurangi regional park walk. Both were pleasant walks even though the Mahurangi walk was more like a stroll in the park.

Next i joined the University Model United Nations (UniMUN), where you can represent one country and debate on issues and in amending, passing or rejecting resolutions. i represented South Korea with a friend Tania, and later switched to France when the Nuclear detonation happened in Iran as the simulation of third issue. It was a good fun. However i also realise that i do not have enough world view to participate in this activity. Well i know i am not a political studies or Law major but i think the basic knowledge of countries and their viewpoints and concerns should be those things that i should have a grasp on. I wanted to join AMUNC but it clashes with my south island trip.

this, of course, lead me to another issue that i am worried about. i am going down for a South island trip on june 30th. it will be for two weeks and i cannot begin to imagine how much will i have to speand for this trip. at least between 1000- to 1500 dollars? help. i only work when there are works and it will only be about 300 max i can get? thanks goodness for the allowance that has come in and it can be my reserve fund should anything bad happened, touch wood. well i will try to find some work and hopefully i can find some money to offset the cost.

For the time being i am lazing around as today’s Queen’s birthday. Happy birthday Elizabeth (hush, kurang ajar!) i came back from 18+ group retreat yesterday and actually went out clubbing the whole night. imagine that! the retreat was nice. i really enjoyed interacting with people from around the world (i mean seriously around the world-columbia,Fiji,Uganda,india, ireland,south africa) and spend some quiet time praying and reflecting. it was a bliss attending this retreat after two weeks in frenzy doing assignments and preparing for tests. Now i can sit back relax and enjoy the day as it is. Holiday mood is on even though i have a Educ 225 exam two weeks from now. but hey, who cares, it’s still a fortnight away.
