I'm going to be celebrating my 4th birthday in Canberra soon! Who knew this city would turn out to be such a huge part of my life.

So what do I expect this year.. hmm. Truth be told, I don't really need anything. Looking back at my past birthday wishes here, only 2 remain on my list; an Audi R8 and growing in Him. What became of my other wishes?I actually have a guitar a PS3, a hdmi monitor, my speakers DID arrive, I'm into my Honours year, and I have this nifty electric razor =) Plus I have an ok job.

One thing I learned? God gives me everything I need, and what I want he gives them to me in good small doses. For my birthday this year I'm just so thankful that You took care of me for this long in a foreign country, and that You'll continue to do so for the rest of my life. Sometimes its so hard to see that, but looking back at the last 2 years I can sort of see Your hand in my life.

So Lord, You alone know what's good for me. Give me those things in their proper time, and help me recognize its from You. Grant me patience, Your wisdom, and your Spirit. Help me to be a better student. and a better Christian. thats my wish this year!
Amen.

Blarhkk!! this stupid organic oatmeal tastes like leftover food gone bad! Theres actually more salt in it than sugar! even after adding in cinnamon and honey it still tastes bad. Thats what happens when I'm working too hard to cook and happen to find a packet of organic oatmeal from dad's last visit...in December. But i'm still going to try this dubious looking packet of teh tarik! what could go wrong?
Back to work!

The other day I met this girl who is totally my type. BUT she already has a boyfriend. So, off limits! Thats my strict moral code =P. And yes I thought of my first crush, but that will never happen.

Recently I realized I'm spending less time cooking good food and just slumming it. My stupid schedule is too busy!

Drums. Idea.

I often think to myself. My life needs a drum kit. I miss having drums around. The way I can just beat out my day, create a new rhythm for the next day, and just get creative with my hands. I've been considering getting an electronic drum kit. But money costs and practicality (I don't know if I can hang on to it when I leave) prevent me. Friends say my PS3 was the better choice. I disagree. They're not musicians. I still wake up at night just to hold my drumsticks and tap out a beat I just thought of. But without drums the beat vanishes after a few days.

Just yesterday I had this amazing idea! If I could fix a trampoline directly beneath my window, I could get out of bed, and go straight to class without having to take the lift, saving me precious time! Plus it would be so damn fun! Also, if I could fix a trampoline every 5 meters from the first, all the way to class, I could just bounce there without having to touch the ground! Sure beats cycling to class...boing boing!
