After the service, Irene and her husband bring me to have lunch. I prefer kiwi's food so they bring me here. 

No alcohol allowed. That's really bad.

Yummy....

A dish was costed 30nzd. 

Selfie with them !!!

They bring me to the tannery and brought me some pie and cookies which made in New Zealand to try on. That's wonderful.

I'm really tired, I rally lazy to cook for them. Initially I plan to cook for lee Yan and Byson. I surrender.

After rest for sometimes, is time for me to go the life at 6. The two cute brother wish to go with me. That's awesome! I no need to go alone. 

Last day in the church, I walk toward Julia and sent my last regard to her and say thank for keep following up with me. She give me a hug and asking to pray for me. Her little act really touch my heart.

Night, they plan to cook for me too. That's cool! Then I go countdown buy a wine and mushrooms to add on the dish. Tonight is their last day in Noah ark house. They will go Queenstown next day. We have dinner with my flat mate (小白, France couple, and my brother)

That's lovely and great talk during the dinner time. 

After dinner, we have a snack time with few type of snack.

After all, the France Taiwan couple made us a rose milk tea. 

Again, my brother treat me eat New Zealand ice-cream. 

Wow.... If I'm not putting on weight that's really kidding me. Lolz....

While having dessert time with my brother. One of them quite interest to the worship song. He try to listen to it and asking me for more. I share my testimony to him again. God, please open door for him to know about you. That's the thing made up my day!

Byson and lee Yan came as she wanna collect the bag that I kept for her from Amy.

Just realize he was injury with laceration wound on his hand and feet. 

When I know the reason, I was ignoring him and he sent lee Yan back as well.

I just realize I forget about asking him weather need any of medication for the wound. 

I text him and he say no need. That's fine. 

Working holiday Day 49 (14112015)

Today is my last day of working.

Thank God for giving me this great opportunity to build good relationship with them. 

Even those will not really good to me during working time, but I know their behavior came from a broken heart. I should love them more and more.

Thank my boss Vivian who give me this opportunity to learn and work with them. Appreciate much!

Because of less customer, boss sent me back at 8.30pm. 

While I reach home, I thought I would be boring as Byson and lee Yan them going to Omaru for trip. But thank God, Noah and Ivy ask me out for Bowling!!! That's fun! Really can't imagine I can play bowling at New Zealand. I ask the France vs Taiwan couple to join us as well.

After the games, again they plan to have a drink in the pub. I start panic again. I know I'm not suppose to be there again.

After struggle, I pray.... My prayer get answer. Because Noah wearing slipper and the Taiwan lady didn't bring her ID, I'm safe. Praise Lord! 

I wanna prepare my heart to worship and listen to your word tomorrow God.

Working holiday Day 48 (13112015)

Last night too tired after drink,slept quite early. Actually quite excited to join the show. Mun yee, Rachel and Kimb will come back and join as well. I can meet them!

Byson said will wake me up but too bad was I already wake up dam early. Finished my breakfast, he go fetch Peter and after that he came to fetch me. 

We reached quite late, 9am the show started. We get lost by following the gps. 

Finally we get there. The enterance fees was 27NZD. 

While walking to the enterance, both of them keep persuading me to get off from my boss for a shift.

I really not wish to do it. That's my responsible to make it right. 

But looking at the heavy traffic when get in the enterance, thinking of I need to ask Byson to purposely fetch me,I don't know what to decide. 

He asked me, is that I'm really wish to work? I'm coming for working holiday, not working!!!

My heart desired to have fun, but the guilt is there. 

He saw my feeling so well. He help me to type the text message. I just leave a text message to her and ask my colleague to tell her. I really don't know how to face her. 

After all, I keep looking at my phone at time to check on the text message.

Because of me, he keep asking his friend to talk to me. Nearly wanna keep my phone off so that I can enjoy.

He saw I'm bored when joining his friend, he bring me back to find Kimb, rachel and Mun yee they all. Thank God.

Sitting alone at the Cantebury show... My friend Mun yee help me capture a nice shot! Thank you!!!

We have the ice-cream together!

They are really good to me.

After early dinner at joyful restaurant, Rachel purposely sent me to work. I really touch and thank for being my friend in New Zealand.

At night, I got no transport to back home. No choice I got to call Byson to pick me up. Really feel sorry to him. Quite troublesome for him. 

He kindly fetch me and surprisingly was he brought beer which introduce my Mun yee "speight" and give it to me. Gosh... Suppose I should buy him a drink not him. Haiz... Funny thing was he give it to me and I said" 你要我自催？” and he came my homestay and drink with me. Lolz....

Actually I'm damn tired, but because the beer should make it cooler, so while waiting we chit- chat around with my flat mate as well. When the beer was ready, left both of us. 

Again, thank God I have a nice talk with him. Actually my intention is to share about God to him, but because of too tired, I really don't know what I have tell. What I remember was, he try to convince me to say "no" to the thing I dislike. That's Funny... Just like a brother sharing his life story to me, regarding his life, his relationship... That's awesome. I like the sharing time. He really a good brother for me.

He told me that, there is no truth in the world. God, I really hope one day he could understand that.

Two of my new flat mates love that and I really appreciate they share they joy with me. 

Dessert time! 

This is what I had promised my flat mate Noah which I will cook the green bean soup for them. 

God, I really wish to treat them nicely. Love them with your love and hope it could influence their live for you. 

Lord, please teach me how to be a great influencer and leader in them. I do hope they can be touched by your love. God, thank for the leading. 

At night, Byson bring the wine we haven't finished it here for me to drink together. 

He like the wine from Australia Gossip sweet lip. It really sweet.

I like something like wine smell.

Funny thing is he also bring the bak kut teh that I cooked the day before to eat. Funny la.

      “You made my whole being; You formed me in my mother's body.  I praise You because You made me in an amazing and wonderful way.  You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother's body.  When I was put together there, You saw my body as it was formed.  All the days planned for me were written in Your book before I was one day old.”  

      Ps. 139:13-16 (NCV)

III. HOW SHOULD I RESPOND?
