Blah
I had a pretty bad Saturday.
It was a hot day but that wasn't the reason why it turned out to be a bad Saturday.
It was the first Saturday of the month which meant that apartment witnessing is on so yes I decided to go to that.
I went witnessing in the morning and in the afternoon and at 3 pm I turned up at the hall to meet up for apartment witnessing. I arranged to work with Tess so she turned up also our friend Karen. A few more people turned up also this girl I have never seen before. Anyway she seemed nice because she smiled at us so I asked her for her name and which congregation she is in blah blah blah I was actually the only one who made an effort to talk to her. Anyway she arranged to work with my friend Reuben.
So me and Tess did our bit and then we met up with Reuben and Lilian (the girl I never met before then) and so we sat on a park bench and I got talking to Lilian some more. I asked her questions. Apparently she is a regular pioneer and she knows a lot of brothers like Joel, Ryan and Laurence (and obviously Reuben since she arranged to work with him). It turned out that she used to be in the same congregation as my friend so I told her that I know this friend and her family and also this other brother who is now serving in Bethel. Anyway I told her that we should go witnessing together one day and she gave me the dirtiest look (I never knew why).
Anyway after apartment witnessing we head to the cafe. Me, Tess and Karen came a little bit late. Lilian is already sitting next to Laurence and Taryn. Reuben was with the Korean brother Songtaek. So I sat opposite Reuben and Karen sat next to me and yeah so basically I talked mostly with Reuben, Songtaek, Karen and Tess and Lilian talked mostly with Laurence and Taryn. Anyway when I was in a conversation with Reuben (about Watchtower study and Bible Highlights) Lilian looked at us and gave me this big smile and talked to the others which I could tell was about me. Anyway after we left the cafe she walked to Reuben and was all over him and they walked to the car park together. Taryn took me home and then I asked her if she knew why Lilian gave me this big smile and what she said about me. Well apparently Lilian said that I was flirting with Reuben! That made me so mad because I talked to him one on one for about five minutes the rest of the time we were in a group conversation and she was with him for two hours and the walk back to the car park.
Anyway I texted Reuben and told him that apparently I was flirting with him and he told me that I was just being normal. Anyway he was nice about it and we ended up texting each other for a bit. I mean me and Reuben are good friends we used to go out witnessing together a lot before he got a job in Perth. So I felt comfortable with him and I could tell him stuff without feeling awkward.
On Sunday night we ended up playing Pictionary. Lilian wasn't there of course it is not like we are good friends with her. But Reuben, Tess, Karen and Songtaek was there and we had fun. We also played Psychiatrist and Reuben was the Psychiatrist and that was a lot of fun and yes I was just about to forget about what happened with Lilian.
On Monday (yesterday) I got a message from my friend who used to be in the same congregation as Lilian. Basically she told me bad things about Lilian. My friend warned me not to get close with Lilian. Mind you not that I want to be close with Lilian anyway so I talked to my friend on the phone for a bit apparently Lilian has many issues with many people.
Lilian has been a pioneer for like 6 years and I have only been a pioneer for a month and a bit and yeah what a fine example she set for the new pioneer...NOT!
Thanks for listening.

My First Month
My first month as a regular pioneer is going great. True, I've faced a few challenges here and there but as a whole it has been a great month.
I have so many great friends and lots of pioneer partners.
I have so many things to tell you but I just don't have the time to post all my stories.
Take care.

News
Do I have a lot to tell or what?
Seriously.
Ok back in June I attended the Long Beach International Convention. That was awesome. Before that went on an 11 day pre convention tour which was awesome as well. After the convention went to Disneyland for a few days including a day with my gorgeous twin friends Jamie and Jessica. They are awesome.
I am going to regular pioneer next month.

Update At Last
Ok relax you guys...am still alive and kicking.
I am just not into this whole blogging thing much anymore.
Besides am kinda busy at the moment with aux pio...as well as other things.
Oh I got a new phone...I got the Blackberry Bold...peer pressure I tell you...I so wanted a simple phone but somehow in the end I got the Blackberry Bold like everyone else...the whole simple phone idea thrown out the window just like that...oh well I love my phone...
Actually I have tons of things to share with you all but yeah will have to do that another day...another month even...yes I know I have been pretty bad at this whole updating thing...
Going to a friend's wedding next week and then a Special Assembly Day the next day...should be good...look forward to both events...no doubt.
Pictures...yes I shall add pictures on here real soon...aah so many things I want to do yet so little time...
My friends got me addicted to this game on Facebook called Pet Society...I even kind of neglected my fluff friend Bones for Hannah my pet on Pet Society...but I have decided I love them both equally...
West Coast Eagles lost yesterday...we had a lose win lose win lose record right now....which means we should win next week at home.
Hmmm that's about all...I look forward to International Convention in June...
Lots of love

Update
Oh wow I didn't realise how neglected and abandoned this blog is.
I do have a lot to tell you all actually.
Of course you all have to be patient because I don't even know where to start.
Well 2009 is here.
Going to Jakarta from the 8th of February until the 1st of March. Then in June am going to USA and Canada and will attend the Long Beach International Convention. Will visit Bethel in USA and Canada before the International Convention and will go to Disneyland after and meet up with my friends Jamie and Jessie. Oh Nadine will be there with me as well. I can't wait.
In September I will be in Sydney to attend a friend's wedding. It will be a lot of fun. No doubt about it.
I miss London a lot. No doubt about it. I really want to go back there.
