~* A weekend of Adenture =) *~
Ive nver had a weekend so packed for such a long time...and Ive probably never jumped straight into bed so fast for awhile... but an adventure-packed weekend is awesome! =D And suddenly, a weekend's not just for 'nua-ing' anymore. I probably have Lyanna to thank for this cos I gotta bring her around..like a good sis would. wahaha.
Saturday:Morning and Arvo--> Bushwalking! At Mount Tambourine to see a teeny tinny waterfall, the Gallery Walk and a bit of Gold Coast's beach after. This event was oranised by CCA. Go CCA~! =D You'd be able to find a vid of the event under Yewlim's facebook..just cos we were monkeying around the Kia. =D haha.
Enjoyin each other's company on the cold mountain trail. =)
Lyanna and Eunice Monkeying around in the water at Gold Coast. =D
Night--->Fright Night at Movie World!
This was Lyanna's first time in the worlds and on a ride! =D It was really cool because the theme park was all done up in a Halloween theme..which was rather creative..and scary because lots of people where dresses up as nightmarish creatures. And Lyanna cried quite a bit from the scary rides and the 'scary' horror mazes. hehe. Poor thing.But we had full-on fun. =D =D =D
At the enterance of Movie World. See how its all done up all red, smokey and nightmarish? wahahaha
Looking all glamourous in our funky 3D glasses for the 4D Shrek show. =)
Ooh look! Even Bugs bunny is done up in bandages. hehe!
I love this classic old vintage car! =D
Sunday:Arvo---> Horse-riding!!! With Lyanna, Yewlim, Estee and Clarence.
This was the same place I brought LiQi to. The weather was slightly rainy just before we got there, but God was amazing, he held most of the rain in and we had an amazing ride. hehe. LQ! I didnt get a stubborn horse this time! haha. And Lyanna horse turned around and bit her knee. haha! It was quite hilarious. =D
Lyanna and a teethered horse. =D
Yewlim and his ride. =D Look, they're best friends already. hehe.
Taking a picture with Yewlim's horse too. =D
Night---> Steak at Normans!
Awesome steak. Even Lyanna ate it thou she doesnt like steak in general. =D A satisfying end to a satisfying weekend. What does next week have in store? =D=D =D
Lyanna and her meal! Yum...
You will find more pictures up on facebook soon..when I set up an album of Lyanna's trip to Aussie. =D For now..its bringing Lyanna for more shopping sprees..and a planned Gold Coast trip on sat! =D
I cant wait to blog my next post... I want to introduce my new baby piggys~! =D=D =D
*A heart's bling*
Diamonds...often labelled as a girl's best friend. why? Because girls love bling! =D Maybe its a feminine nature to search for beauty, and what can beat a diamond's clarity, its endearing hardness through trials and it potential for an incredible shine grows in 'bling' as it obtains different cuts.
Its a perfect representation of the potential in each one of us. How, if we were to surrender to the Maker's perfect plan...to grow in personality and strength just as life shapes us to be,enduring different trials that would cut and polish us... that we would turn out just like a raw diamond to something of great value in a store. That we would be able to shine in this world, in our own place and in our own way, for Christ.
And thats what I think abt as I contemplate and smile at a treasured gift my darling gave to me recently. It was a little heart necklace with a tiny diamond. It is a perfect representation of how we are made to shine..from our heart. For above all else, is love. And it doesnt really matter how small we start out with, like my little diamond..its still precious. And I can imagine how our Father in heaven would smile, just like I did, and say His famous phase: "It is good".
Oh how I love little revealations like this. =)
