It has been two weeks, but it felt like a month.
An old man who didn’t throw away anything and showered once a month, building a shack in the backyard all by himself
He washed his floor bloom in the kitchen sink
He fell off the ladder and broke his head, and drove himself to the hospital while bleeding
He admitted to the hospital for three days for operations
He refused to take a bath upon his return to the house, and immersed his bloody clothes in the bathroom sink where everyone used
Then there’s a strong stingy body odour in the room that triggered my hay fever
Five chicken pets that have never cleaned
The metal rust at the water taps that have never cleaned for ages
A mouse in the house and cockroach kept entering my room every night while I scared it away with Dettol
And the quarrel between him and the housemate every night
The corridor filled with not-in-used appliances
The fridge and the kitchen
The kitchen
Little possum living just outside the bathroom
The chicken pets that have never bathed
Boiling an egg in such a kitchen has been such a difficult task
My little invention on "a clean chair"
The cutest dish I have ever made in the house after cleaning the microwave that stacked dirt for ages
It felt like a nightmare to me for the past two weeks
I have tried to put up with it but then got into terrible distress
The Eucharist Adoration was a huge relief to me and I realised I nearly broke down emotionally
The big move, new culture and environment, and plus the dirtiness, quarrels and complaints in the house have stressed me out
I recalled what I have heard about how it is like to have a house that you don’t want to return, and the only moment at peace is at church
How I desperately wanted the mass to last forever, so that I could be at peace for much longer
Glad that it was just an accommodation, and the great desire to move out have brought me out of the situation
So I have now moved to a new place!
My need is simple, a clean room.
So here it is, and I even got a space for my prayer corner.
My prayer corner
Yes, there’re still much problems to be solved, and I still need time to recover my mood.
A still nice walk along the lake, the peace and calm and a little crazy moments for myself are all so refreshing.
Time for crazy photos:
Gorgeous view along the lake outside my living place!
Beautiful sunshine after the pouring rain yesterday (The rain has caused flooding in the campus!)
Hello Parrot!
And parrots
And some crazy times~ :P
I still remembered the phrase, “When one is in desolation, one could not be comforted by all means, but it is the memory of consolation that bring you out of it."
I found my true consolation in here, and I really loved the “Trinity” design of the Church.
St John the Apostle Church
