The past few days have been relatively slack. Went out on Thursday and Friday to do grocery shopping, and went to Waterfront to do a bit of shopping (but did not buy anything in the end). I was still pretty jet-lagged, not being able to sleep at night and waking up very early in the morning, but I think I have now pretty much recovered from it. Played tennis everyday for the past few days too, in the evening or at night. Haha. Still not sick of playing tennis..well, won't be able to play when the weather gets cold. Finished unpacking/sorting my stuff yesterday and cleaned the house today. Well, I guess it's good having a down time before school starts.
Went to a different church this morning, Bellefield Presbyterian Church. It's quite a university church, lots of university students go there, though they are mostly from UPitt. It's a different church from the ones that I have been too here, but I quite liked it there. Will see how it goes. I hope I'll be able to find a church that I can feel settled in as soon as possible. I'm probably used to Barker already, so I tend to compare church here with Barker, which is not a good idea. Will keep praying about this.
I have told myself to be more positive these past few days, but it is definitely not easy. These past few days, more often than not, I have thought a lot about home, and whenever I thought about home, I would feel a bout of homesickness and get upset and quite disillusioned, wishing I was home again. And I would let it go on for a while until it really affected my mood. I know I cannot go on this way. The more I do that, the more homesick I will become and the worse it will get. But of course, it is not easy to stop thinking about home. But I'm trying my best. There is nothing wrong about thinking of home, but I shouldn't feel so sad about not being at home or let my homesickness affect me too much. I will still keep in touch with family and friends, and before I know it, it will be time for me to go back again. Be more positive!
My mum has been/is traveling a lot these days. She went back to Jakarta from Singapore on Friday, went to Malang in East Java on Saturday morning for my grandmother's birthday celebration, went back to Jakarta on Sunday night, is on the way to the airport to go to Singapore now and will be going to Perth on Monday night (or morning US time). Visiting my brother in Perth cos if I'm not wrong, he will be having exams soon. Just hope she will have a safe flight. And I also hope the three of us are not giving mum and dad too much headache!
Anyway, US Open is starting tomorrow and I am really excited about it! Will get to watch it on tv too. I'm really into tennis now, so yes. Haha. I'm hoping we will get to see good matches on Sunday night. Who knows...Agassi vs Roddick. That would be sweet.
