Have not been blogging for quite some time... Just sort of didn't feel like blogging... Just a brief update on what I have been doing:

29th May 2004
Went for Otley Run (a pub crawl) with Ruth and housemates, Zetuan and Jasmine. Visited 5 pubs, The Box, The Original Oak, The Skyrack, The Hyde Park Corner and The Library. I didn't drink much, only had a Smirnoff Ice (5% alcohol) at The Box, didn't manage to finished WKD Original Vodka Blue at The Original Oak. Only had water and orange juice at the rest of the pubs.

I really had not drank much... First vomited at The Original Oak, then at The Hyde Park Corner and The Library. The combination of smoke and music made me felt more nausea than I would be... This is the first time I felt so bad from drinking... Was really quite worried... as I continued to vomit the orange juice back at home. Luckily, I began to recover after showering and Ruth's macoroni soup...

30th May 2004
Been asked to give my testimony of Christ at the next cell group, which will be a combined evangelistic outreach. Had a really good chat with Ruth... =)

31st May 2004
Had lunch with Ruth and Florence at Bar 88. Then took a trip down to Freeport, which has all these factory outlets... Lots of shop, but I didn't buy anything... Had my first Thorntons Ice-cream...

1st June 2004
Decided to make cheese cake for cell group. Made two batches...

2nd June 2004
Went round to deliver cheese cake. Had dinner at Lucky Dragon with Ruth and housemates, Audrey and Zetuan. It's a kind of farewell for those who are not coming back to Leeds... Went to The Lounge to chill after dinner... Saw Audrey and Florence off for their Italy trip...

3rd June 2004
Felt the acute sense of knowing that I am leaving in 2 days... Closed my bank account, cancelled my credit card, did my last round of laundry, met up with Lizzie and Ruth, did my last round of shopping, bought my last batch of chocolates, preparing the testimony I have to give tomorrow...

Screaming in my heart that I do not want to go back... Looking around my room and not wanting to pack, wishing that I do not have to change anything... realising that I resist change... realising that in my last three weeks, I have accumulated more books than I did in my first 15 weeks here...
