It's been a series of unfortunate events for the past couple of weeks...

first off, my car was STOLEN!! just when i thought how peaceful and crime-free this country is, now im having second thought...but then again, the felon could have been immigrants, kiwis are still the nicest ppl that i've known...

really, the fact that someone took my car without permission didnt bother me a bit...i just got up in the morning and realized that the car's gone...and i was like: cool, now i don't hafta think of a way to get rid of it...Nevertheless i have stuffs inside the car that i would really like to retrieve, just that day i've bought tonnes of souvenirs for families and friends, and i left them inside the car...bummer...

also, my scarves and beanies and CDs and some travel documents were in it, not to mention my beloved Polo sunglassess...well, shit happens, and im not someone who cry things over spilled milk...i believe things happen for a reason, if it has to happen, then it has to happen...just take it easy and let it be...

Because i no longer have a car, im sorta handicapped now in a certain way...i had planned to go skiing last weekend with Fu (taiwan) and Yasutomo (japan), and we had to lay off the plan till later...

the only good thing that happened in the past week was that, and i do believe this good tiding can replace any unfortunate events that had taken place...is that, Yasutomo got SAVED, praise LORD....

So this japanese dude has been my roommate for the past month or so, we got along very well and i had invited him to church for few weeks now...he has been very receptive and enjoyed the services tremendously...last sunday, during altar call, he responded to the pastor and accepted Christ as his personal saviour...i couldnt be happier, to think of im the one who's brought him the gospel, i can actually do something for Lord while travelling!

yesterday we went clayduck shooting, it was a whole lot of fun, and i thought i was pretty good when i managed to get three clay down, considering im a first timer...yasutomo is a surfer, so we have made plans to go surfing when the temperature goes up a little...that dude has brought along so many stuffs in his baggage including fishing rod, wetsuit, and surf board, that im in awe...

Spring is approaching rapidly and it's beginning to feel nice and warm now...

If only time can go a little slower...
