• cool poem

  so on sunday this surprise came to my dad. he got a phonecall from a friend, who congratulated him. he had no idea what she was talking about, and she read this as him being a very good secret-keeper. haha. turns out she had seen the pamphlet for the people being ordained at the place where my dad got his masters in practical ministry last year, and his name was on it. so my dad and i took a look at the pamphlet online, and laughed our heads off! it was funny. but later on he sent an email to the guy in charge, and turns out it had been decided a while ago - it's just that in between flying places and being busy in general, they had forgotten to call my dad to tell him he was being ordained. haha!
  
  so now i'll be leaving to LA at the end of june, to attend this thing, which also means i'll make it in time for the UCLA summer orientation INSTEAD OF THE INTERNATIONAL ORIENTATION IN SEPTEMBER yay!! :D and if i'm extra lucky, perhaps i'll get to go to their 'wilderness welcome' which is like, a cool camping trip. i do love camping. this also means i won't have a get a summer job just yet ;)
  
  oh and the best thing is that because he's becoming a pastor 5 days after my 18th birthday, i won't be a Pastor's Kid hahahahah pk. which is a bad word in chinese. i should really be writing this kind of stuff in my diary...but it's just so much quicker on xanga!
  
  oh btw, anyone who reads this, isn't this pink background great? i don't know, i'm sort of over it.
  

  Leisure

  WHAT is this life if, full of care,
  We have no time to stand and stare?—

  No time to stand beneath the boughs,
  And stare as long as sheep and cows:

  No time to see, when woods we pass,
  Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

  No time to see, in broad daylight,
  Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

  No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
  And watch her feet, how they can dance:

  No time to wait till her mouth can
  Enrich that smile her eyes began?

  A poor life this if, full of care,
  We have no time to stand and stare.
