~*In the beauty of Your holiness...*~

I took a picture of the fast setting sun during the fishing trip...the rays that shoot out...caught and amplified by the surrounding clouds.. aint it beautiful...

The hype of the mid-sem break and the present Synergy conference in church has left me very excited, deep within my heart in ways I cannot fully comprehend nor describe. Suddenly... I have friends around me that I love.. that I love to spend time with. A church to call home and 'my church' in Brissy.. well, pretty much.

Suddenly, the place aint so alien to me anymore. =) Though studying is tough, and will always be...living is not a bore cos I know I have friends that I care about =) Memories spent that I treasure.

But friendships are fleeting, impressions are everchanging. Like the beatiful and captivating picture of the setting sun... will this period pass as fleeting? Thou the beatuy of it will always captivate my heart?

Who am I that you and You Lord, are mindful of me? Do I belong or am I just another?

Whatever the case, guard my heart, Lord, make it thine.. and I know...

"Jesus will still be there
When no one else is true, He'll still be loving you

Jesus will still be there

His love will never change, sure as the steady rain
When the going gets tough, and the right to learn
When you're just not sure enough...
Jesus will still be there"

And I thank you for that, Lord, cos in many circumstances.. on my own Lord, I cant do anything.

* Jesus will still be there...*

*Great big mystery*

Ive been terrible.. Ive got a 2 weeks off sch break, yet I never blogged. Its amazing how busy you can be even without sch.... I think my life's as messy at the state of my room..>.<. Messy as in..too much things to do, too little time.. and all I wanna do sometimes is sleep ^^

Procrastination is something, I guess, all students have to deal with. haha. especially when time seems to sprint nowadays, leaving me behinddd...

We planned to go Movieworld yesterday. But with the terrible morning weather and forecast..it got postphoned.. and the itinery switched to fishing!! I would be lying of I said I wasnt disappointed... BUT... I was strangely very satisfied at the end of the day in a way that it seems movieworld will never be able to fulfill... That plus..movieworld will always be there waitin for me to go! haa..so whats the rush.. *grin*

Either how..i didnt catch anything yesterday! haha.. altough JuneJune did =) I lil' tiny fish we had to release.. cos it was well..tiny =) Good job June! teehee.. I caught a big fat rock..>.<. But we had, oh..so much fun. =).. thou we wernt experts at looking for a place to START fishing. haha. I would call it.. hmm..' Feed the fish exercise'! teehee.. cos the baits were always mysteriously disappearing and all we seem to catch was dirt.. haha..yea. and rocks. But we saw bright blue jellyfishes!!! when I mistaken for a softtoy bunny in the water! haha.. and yea..they're pretty...isnt creation? =)

We even got to meet Jade for lunch! haha.. its fun seeing more of Aussie.. and sushi's really good! *yum*

Another highlight of the day was... homecooked food!!! man.. I miss that. The parents of the Leongs' were so nice to invite us to their place for dinner... homecooked food..can u imagine that.. *sighs*..with homegrown and made giam chai and chilli! *signs*.. and the last min jamming session too.. recollecting old school songs...sunday sch songs...

~* True beauty*~

The world competes for 'true' beauty with chemicals and more chemicals, with clothes we weave with out hands into intricate little expensive masterpieces designed to bring out the superficiality of beauty. The additction and drive to buide up more muscle mass, as if to justify human strength..lapping up the rewards of admiration.

Yet, beauty comes in so many different forms. From the macro things of life jumping out as bright as the headlights from an incoming train to little intricacies it takes a child heart to fully appreciate its beauty.

Beauty as a form of relief.. of taking a break from the concrete jungle we live in.. of the unforgiving mindsets we live among..

God has given me 'Cassis'

I named her Cassis for no reason..just out of inspiration. A flower that represents a new start.. Intricate enough.. reachin out for a girl's heart... closing its petals night after night to go to sleep...opening wide in the daylight.

Something that would bloom and grow with love... something that would inspire me to smile.. just like it..everyday..

I thank you God.. or unrivaled beauty only you can make. Thank you for Cassis =)

* I love Him because He first loved me...He knew me.. and He knew my heart before I was even born..*

*Celebrations, Brissy style*

Depite the heavy workload and the overall strategy of the uni to implement... 'Death by assignements' Its not the assignments themselves that kill..its the lack of sleep due to it. haha.

Brissy is not all work and no play... they sure know how to have fun too! lots of it =) *erm..after assignments..*

Here's the Ekka. A huge annunal show animal event...where judging of just abt every domestic animal occurs. Its also included in the public holiday in Brissy! showbags... carnvial... animals.. its sure a whole day of fun!! oh ya..plus fireworks! hahaa..

Estee and I..with a little calf.. its soo cute~ the trick is to stay away from the aduls who keep pooping..>.<

A place to get up close and personal with unique animals.. like the super adorable 'dulux' dogggie.. specially bred pigeons with long feathers on their foot.. that are probably useless. haha. and aww...ferris wheel! which i didnt sit..>.<

Showbags arena.. no..we're not Clarence's showgirls.. that kuku...O.o. haha

Then there's Rivefire!!! The celebration of Brisbane's river! ^^ This just happened only..on sat =) The highlight of it all is a night of fireworks.. down the length of the river. More breathtaking than singapore's fireworks festival. Very very very crowded too. but the cool weather here makes it a whole lot more pleasant.. and wow..the fireworks... O.O

To be there early to get a spot on the grass patch ^^ My church friends, David, Sheryl and Persis! (^_^)

This is what you get when Yewlim gets triggerhappy. haha..lol

I really like this shot.... yea. it was crowded. haha. but its a pretty shot ^^

Fireworks off the top of tall buildings in the city! I've never seen a thing like it! Hahaa..the Aussie's REALLY love their fireworks. But its good! I love them for it! ^^

*Thank you God, for fireworks!!!*
