I never knew it's this hard.
Is this God's will?
I need to know.
I cant breathe.
For Your will, not a must but willingness from me.
I'll pull through.
Definitely.

me, myself and I
i'm messy. as what people say.
i'm very fair. as what people say.
i've got nice hair. as what people say.
why be bothered about what people say?
you should be bothered by what God has to say.

Canberra
Canberra made me fall in love with Thirsty Merc. esp the song, Those Eyes. mm mmm mmmm. (Eric)
Canberra was fun. especially with amazing ppl around.
10 of us. me, eric, dav, yeeman, hez, jess, kb, kim, cindy and hl.
thank God we reached safely. thanks hez, dav and eric for driving me and yeeman around.
and of course, all thanks to the mummy jess who planned EVERYTHING. (she's a walking GPS)
1st day
started out at 9am.
dav drove to oriumbah to get yeeman.
stopped at parramatta for lunch. biggest westfield in oz.
made a detour to a resting area where we saw a hill full of lavender.
took starry photos. heh
finally, canberra.
made rounds and rounds around the new parliament house.
went around many many embassies. MANY
saw singapore's high commission building. took a photo.
posed outside the old parliament house with hair flying around.
drove to a seaside. found duckies which looked exactly like those around bara.
boobies mimicked duckies' quacks. he's sooooo good. especially the donald duck one.
went to the art museum. outside only.
made rounds around ANU. pretty stern looking buildings. nobody at all. look boring though.
had italian dinner. spinach ravioli. mm mmm mmm.
dangerous mummy jess dropped a fork on my pretty indian dress. well, i got the stain off. phew.
headed back to motel with an unfriendly receptionist.
small motel. 6 beds, 1 bathroom.
slept at 12am.
2nd day
woke up at 830am.
those 3 guys, dav, boobies and hez were sound asleep at their friend's place. called many many times. lazy peeps.
went parliament house. again? well, we went into the house and up the top.
grassy area. very pretty view.
floriade. that's what we're there for. pretty tulips. dying but still very pretty and blooming.
nice sand castles made of sand of course, water and glue mixture.
had lunch (char siew rice and 1 piece of duck meat from boobies)
we went to the national dinosaur museum. well, it was only me, yeeman, dav, eric and hez.
the rest went cockington green. the miniature world.
the museum was very, educational. small though. but i've learnt new things.
detoured to somewhere with many many flags. we saw this plain, green flag with only 2 lines across. so lazy.
we took many arty farty photos at a jap park. forgot its name.
wanted to take photos at the friendship gate but a lady was playing flute over there.
went up to the telstra tower. it cost us $6. view was breathtaking. wind was so strong we almost got blown away. hair was messy. we were running against the wind and along at the other side. cold cold cold.
inside joke: we were walking in the carpark to get the cars when hez went and stood by the side of a white toyota corolla. (ours was ford fairmont). hez is sooo funny. rem gorrrillla?
had dinner at a japanese restaurant owned by koreans.
i realised koreans just cant make sushi.
i had distorted sushi.
walked around the city centre. it was relatively small. like toa payoh (jono said that).
canberra's chinatown, dickson, was really puny. i wonder how asian students survive over there. no wonder ANU is the top uni in oz.
mount ainsle. woohoo. breathtaking view. even better than telstra tower's night view. and it's F-R-E-E. made strange noises at a bunch of tourists who're students too.
we had supper!
pancake parlour. mm mmm mmmm.
pancakes were awww, so gooooood.
mummy jess ordered apple just juice for $4.90. see, told ya not to order juices.
we had chocolate strawberry jubilee. oh so nice. chocolate pancakes though.

FOCUS camp
oh man. this blog is so outdated.
keeping things short.
went for FOCUS camp last last weekend. 28th till 30th sept.
the church we stayed in was a lil run-down, with only a bathroom for 28 peeps. interesting. BUT, there's a judebox, a table tennis table, a soccer table and of course, bedrooms and a kitchen. it's not too bad. the location is good. the marinas was within 5mins walk. we could see the night scenery of nelson bay. woohoo.
I had A-L-O-T of fun hanging around with FOCUS peeps. interesting ppl. very.
the talks were great. although i was falling asleep.....
we talked about 'The Bible Overview". Dene printed out a copy of the complete picture of what the bible is all about.
Adam and Eve= Creation
Fall of Creation
Forming Babel
Pledge (Promise from God) to Abraham
Moses (saving Exodus from slavery)
David the King with the promised land, law and prophets
Exile
LIFE OF JESUS
DEATH OF JESUS
RAISING OF JESUS
Pentecost
RETURN OF JESUS
New Creation
that was the main stuff but there're lots more. Rachel talked about serving in the ministries. hopefully i would be able to help out in FOCUS in any ways.
well, i kinda missed my bed back in camp but many things kept me back.
-we went to one mile beach and played beach soccer. (i scored 3 goals, all thanks to the guys from my team! esp lake as he pointed to me to stand near the goal. great team work!)
-we had night walks to the marinas and beach. cold and windy but very good conversations with fellow FOCUS ppl.
-we had a bbq on the last night. the walk to the pit was frightening. no lights at all. but had good talks with peeps.
-we had a games' night. played charades and many others. my team didnt lose or win. well, at least we manage to survive.
-we played mafia. had miscommunication though. i realised mafia can be quite frustrating to play.
-we had very nice muffins. not the sweet ones. the ones you find in McD. you know, McMuffins?
one last thing, everyone kinda bonded real well. and we're back home in one piece.
Thank God for everything!
