OOoooo... Now im bubbling with excitement n anticipation till i get the tix!!! cant wait, cant wait!! cos it will be killing 3 birds with one stone, i will be going to KL to shop for shoes, spend time with my pal n watch MAYDAY!!!!
Yikes!!! One exciting thing to look forward to in Jan apart from CNY! Fabulous!
WoooHoo!

Finale 2005......

not the last day of 2005 officially but kind of....

Last week of 2005 have been soooo... self centred! hee.. Spiritually,seen much of me (rather my deceitful heart) thru the eyes of God, seen much of His great wondrous love thru His grand display of Himself in all areas of my life, humbled yet assured n loved. Emotionally, cos of His assurance n His love, im more secure as a person in Him n with myself... no more frustrations cos of things i dun see, or dun have. Mentally, still sound n sane! hahah! Socially, humor is the best way to connect ppl together i find, at least for me, i found connections back with ppl at home thru laughter :)

Thanksgivings.... many many many to name, so jus a big, great thank u to my wonderful Provider n Saviour, ,my Lord Jesus Christ! :) deeply touched by His love n faithfulness who knows me so so well.

Last movie watched in 2005 -- Narnia... brought me to tears n humility to my heart. Aslan gave his life in exchange of edmond's so that he may live; choose to trust in man even when man dont trust himself to fight the battle; Peter overcame his fears n weaknesses to fight a good fight which brought to mind esther's words "if I perish, I perish". God used this movie n a book to speak much to my heart, now i can say with much joy n confidence..... 2006, here i come!

Apologies..apologies..apologies :)

yeah, like the subject said, gazillions apologies to the faithful ones who have been awaiting with much anticipation for more delightful photos from the wonderful kangaland... n to their dismay, n hope i have not upset u guys too much, none have been put up since i was back!!! Goodness gracious me!!!!

Hahahah!!!!

No choice, my grand-comp has been rejecting some photos n has been taking its own sweet time to upload the pics from my CD n only some are able to find its way to the comp!!! (1st wish for 2006 - a new comp!!!!)

In addition, as the year is coming to a close, im also trying to find my way to Him, for answers, for breakthroughs, for directions ( more of assurance ), watever, His presence! So, been in my lala land for some timee too...

Lastly, gazillions apologies!!!! again :) still love me hor... hahahah!!!!!

Surreal Week

its been a week since i blogged, cos on sun me n my fren went to the warm n sunny Gold Coast. The week just passed by me somehow.. as i sat in the flight back from brisbane to melbourne, recounting and reflecting on the week, time seems to have stood still at Gold Coast n Brisbane... hahaha.. maybe cos subconciously i did not want it to end

IT has been a fruitful, eye opening, exciting week for me. Went to Gold Coast, shopping, chilling out at the cafes, reading mags n books, suntanning (bad at that..) n making new frens from the other side of the globe from home.

Then went to Brisbane via train alone, so far the only time i was alone in aussie as i was so blessed to have an excellent GPRS as a travelling mate, who is so good with directions that after 5r days in Gold Coast, i still do not know where is where n how to get to places... thats how good she is :) Thank God, my GPRS came back once i was alone on the road... its cool n ez n interesting.

So many things that has taken place, so many thoughts, so many emotions reeling in my head and heart.. need time to sort them out apart from the pictures...

Many BIG thanks to God above, who timed everything perfectly that i never missed out anything interesting in aussie so far, somehow He made it in a way that i enjoyed the trip thoroughly n made it more surreal than ever.. :)

Stay tuned to this bloggy to find out more on my trip, will get the pics n my thoughts n feelings up real soon! God bless ya!
