Interesting Weekend Encounter
Sunday, February 22, 2009
I had an very interesting weekend that I couldn’t explain it with words. Friday was not a very good day; there are a lot of decisions to make, challenges to face. But after a long day, I felt drained, exhausted, aimless.
On Saturday, decided to have a relax day out. Went to TheRocks market, took a walk at the Botanic Garden, took some pictures of the Sydney Opera House and….. tried taking a ferry (hahahah sounded like a big thing…motion sickness halfway ^_^)
Went back to the city and decided to go to Hill Song Church for their 8pm service. Sekali I checked, service was at 6pm, hahhah missed it again. Well I’ll surely make it for Sunday Service.
Tada…. Sunday morning, woke up at 7:50am trying to make it to the 9am service. Firstly I forgot to bring my wallet, have to run back and forth in order not to miss the bus. Got down at wrong bus station, but thank God the kind driver saw the confusion in my face and waited for me, hahhaah
Walk and walk until I found the street, and ahha they have a special service today in the Capital Thether in town and I just missed the church’s last shuttle bus.
Arrggghhhh so many things happen to stop me from going to church. But I will not be defeited… heheheh
Finally, I made it to the 9 am service. It has been a great time to be in God’s presence again. I was soooo dry and I need God so badly.
Had a swim in the afternoon and felt so free in the water. Got a bible and will remind myself to read it daily. I will try…..
Try to upload some picture soon...

2nd Post from Sydney...
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Been through another week. It has been raining everyday, cold temperature of 17-22 ++++ strong wind... WooWOOO .. the longest pant I had with me was a 3/4 jean, the warmest cloth will be a RM10 T-Shirt... hahahah ...
It has been a stressful week as I have a mission to achieve in Australia before I can go home, but then things doesn't seems to be moving fast enough. Wanted to give up and I then I can do other things as well, but then the "small ego" in me is telling me "hey, you have not even tried hard enough, and you are giving up right now?"
Well :) Which of us doesn't face stress in life? I'll take up the challenge and overcome it.

Just checked out HillSong Church and found that it's just in the middle of my Sydney Office & apartment. hohohoh ... but then today's schedule is not well planned... Will be visiting them next week. Got an order from friend to buy hillsong CDs, hahahaha

-> Bus driver suddenly stopped the bus after another 2 stops... waiting for police to come and investigate (oh no....)
-> Made a mistake of not getting off the bus and walk home (15 mins)
-> Police came and now, if we want to go off, we haev to leave our particulars and they need to perform some interview...
