Sept 29, yucks! it's wednesday and i'm still not started with my LBJ essay! it's frustrating! i thought i could accomplish loads of stuffs during this one week break, but to my disappointment, my efforts have been discouraging!! gracie, c'mon!! work hard!! woke up really early this morning and marched into Matheson lib as early as 9am today. whoh!~ once i entered through the doors, could feel the awkward silence in the library. it's unusual to see the library this quiet! somehow the librarians seemed to grin at me when i came in.....their faces shone in gladness! their facial expressions seemed to suggest: "oh finally! we've got somebody! there's business today!!" hee, this is just my own imaginations...! libraries don't function like businesses! =)

the day has been rather long for me. i've been reading, reading and doing more reading up on America's 36th President--Lyndon Baines Johnson. it's been a journey of discovery. didn't know so much about him till today! it's a shame cos' i did the Vietnam War last year and even handed in an essay on LBJ's decision to the escalation of America's intervention into South Vietnam. and the chapters found in the biographies of LBJ are so long and so controversial!!! man!~ i'm getting confused in some areas here and i seriously need help with this essay!!! arghhhhh!!!! Die!! it's due next monday! how am i going to struggle through this?!

well on a happy note, i received a good news today! got an email from Sus and i rejoice when i heard that caroline is interested in knowing more about God after our weekend camp last week...! she has decided to get baptised one day and wants to have bible study. this really thrills my heart alot! i remember talking to her about God, about caregroup and about baptism on our way back from camp in Sus' car. it was indeed an unforgetable experience chatting with caroline. definitely know her much much better after this camping trip to the beach! a very homely girl...loves kids and will be a great mum in future! she's very loving in the way she expresses her emotions; very helpful and sporty too. never remember talking to her so much before camp and indeed, this is the start of our friendship.

and yes, it's Lyndon's birthday last saturday; Darrell's birthday yesterday and Jing's birthday tomorrow. so we are all going down to Darrell's house tonight for a surprise party for the 3 birthday people! how sweeeetttt!! yes, party starts at 10pm! yeh! i'm so excited!!! it's so good to know there isn't a curfew time here in Aus since i'm on my own now! =p when i think about these things, i just don't have mood to study further! aghhhh!! it's terrible! but well, it's holidays anyway! it's time to pamper myself a little!~hehe! *always with excuses...grin*

anyway, i've gota get going!! gota cook dinner!!! what's for dinner?? chicken soup, noodles and maybe, stir fry veges!! yum-yum!! need a break from all these assignments and reading!!
