i am so tired... so i apologise if this is rather short..

i just got back from my mentor party.. we went to a drinking place where they serve finger food and alcohol.. and you just chat the night away..

arm wrestle match between girls.

Nemo (group leader) and Chloe (my mentor)




they made me do the asian sign... i protested three times...


HUGE beer jug..

after this bar.. we went to another one.. a quieter one where we could chat and get to know each other better. =D

this was at the bar... the jugs contained pineapple soju =O

chips! mmm

this jug had lemon soju haha... crazy crazy drinkers.


and then we went to karaoke..



rather exhausting.. but fun! my mentor group is a good group.. we're all friendly and we get along =]
my noona is the koolest.... except for when she ignores me and talks to other people in the group >=|
jkz. =]

on the way home to my dorm at 2am ish... i bumped into Eero and a few other people from my dorm.. 2 of which were girls from America.. they are very nice, but have a rather playful personality.. she asked for a piggyback on the way home, but i said no... funny because if this happened to me last year or two, i would've been fine with it... but nowadays, i should be and am trying ever so hard to be careful with girl contact and to avoid situations that could otherwise escalate to something i'd regret... so far it's been good, but i shan't dismiss it so easily.

apart from this night.. i just had classes today..

had global ethics and international business.

global ethics is proving to be quite the faith stirrer... every class i grow more and more uncomfortable because they are bashing Christianity and though we all agreed to respect each others' opinions and cultures.. they seem to laugh everytime we discuss Christian doctrine.. it is disheartening and very rage-inducing.. but Shawn and Ed have reminded me to be patient and graceful; as Jesus would be... 

i am not too sure what God wants me to do in this class.. but whatever it is, perhaps through my presence, God will be glorified. 
i think being too sheltered in the past, hanging around Christian friends and being comfortable with Sunday Christianity has grown on me.. and now that i am in a situation where my faith is really being put on the line, it will truly reveal what foundations my faith lie on.

it has been hard and i can imagine it will only get harder in this class.. but i will persevere - so that in due time, it will build a character that is stronger than what it is now.

Thankful: My mentor group - that they are so hospitable, sensible and still fun =].

Prayerful: Godly patience, grace and wisdom in my class(es)... that God's presence can be made real to those who don't believe.

Dangers: I drank a lot tonight... Not used to the Korean drinking culture... Although I wasn't tipsy or drunk, if I kept drinking out of peer pressure it would've turned out much worse...
