25/5

What was that mysterious gash on the side of his face? It's Sunday and today we were late to church due to the following factors:
- my parents headed into Sydney to celebrate their wedding anniversary so we don't have a chaffeur.
- alarms worked but we set them so early it was a matter of slam-and-sleep clocking methods.
- woke up late.
SO we walked up arriving 15 minutes late. I've been sick over the past week so the walk didn't do me much good. I kept on coughing out phlegm (or other people call it mucus) from the back of my throat and I had to look around furtively to check whether anyone was watching and then I'd spit it into the grass.
We arrived at church and there wasn't a single set of triple seats for Joyce, Charles and I so we sat at the very front which ended up being quite enlightening. There was this guy from Afghanistan talking about mission work and stuff and it was so very interesting, trust me, i could tell... but I kind of dozed off, at the front row.

After church Sam's mum offered to take us out to lunch and then home but Joyce needed to study so it was just Charles and I. We went to sushisushi, she suggested it, I think because she thought I was missing Japanese food. Well sushisushi is run by Chinese and really, crispy chicken sushi is hardly 'authentic Japanese cuisine'. I couldn't complain, the food was good. gyuu-teriyaki bento. I think in Japanese they just call it teriyaki bento, I've never heard of chicken-teriyaki before. We finished the meal which she so graciously paid for and were walking to the atm so she could withdraw money when Charles spotted one of the Koreans from our school...
He had this gash on the side of his face (cheek), or rather a big cut and there was blood splurging out. We asked him what happened but he avoided the question. I reckon he got involved in some Korean-mafia type slashing attack because he stole drugs from the boss and just escaped with his life. Actually he told us it was a scratch but that was rediculous, I know the difference between a scratch on the face and when someone has gouged a line into your cheek. I'm suspicious but heck, who knows.
