It Is My Time to Step Up!

On Wednesday nights I usually go to Powerhouse. Lately, I have been going regularly. God has been stirring my heart for me to go. These last few weeks I have enjoyed going there. Also these last few weeks at church I feel talk is talking to me about serving in church. The message themes has been around serving, stepping up to the next level and finding our significance in our Christian walk.

All the messages have been really good =) and now it is time for me to actually step up and do something =) I did share it last night at Connect Group and my Connect Group Leader will point me in the right person to help me as I am interested in doing Event and maybe Graphic Design. Although Shinta told me to do TV, I will end breaking it hehe. We'll see how it goes first =)

Just a final thought for you to ponder on "Do not let a bad relationship drag you down."

Lunar Eclipse

Tonight was pretty exciting with a total lunar eclipse, with the moon turning blood red =) I saw it while I was at Selvy's place for connect group. At one stage, I thought the moon looked purple but maybe because we were in the city =P

For this lunar eclipse to happen The Earth, Sun and Moon has to be in perfect alignment. The last time it happened was in July 2000. This was visible anywhere in Australia. How cool is that?

The eclipse happened around 7pm, with the moon totally blacked out by 7.50pm. It was a pretty cool view to see =)

Apparently, I've been told that the next total lunar eclipse will happen in 2011. Who knows where I will be in 2011?

Thanks Benny for the picture. Even though this picture of the moon is not red but I liked it so much that I asked Benny for a copy =)

My First Soju Experience

Last night, I tried soju for the first time with a bunch of korean guys and one other korean girl. Of course with Asian style we ordered soup and of course with side dishes. I was so full last night =) But it was a good experience, I got to meet new people hehehe and of course it was Koreans =)

The people were really nice and were interested wanting to get to know me hehehe. I had a good chat with Kyon hehehe. He was telling me about his life experience and I was interested with his stories hehehe.

People would warn me that being attracted to Korean guys is a bad thing. Maybe its because the way they are portrayed in the dramas. I think it is best not to listen and believe everything we see now. I think it is best to have an open mind and be empathic towards people we meet in our lives. But at the same time be careful in who we hang out with.

Now I am looking forward to my next soju experience without the drinking games involved =P Drinking games can get a little crazy ;)

Embarrassing Moment

Usually on Thursday nights (well not too often) I like to walk around the city and check out the shops. I have been good lately I haven't really bought anything (in terms of new clothing, as those who know me really know me well, I tend to go overboard with new clothing). But I came across this cute top at Giordano and it was cheap $40 (for me hehehe).

So I was looking for my size S but couldn't find it, the shop assistant comes up to me (you the usual line, Can I help you?). I asked him they had S in the purple colour, but the only S was on the model. I told him I will try the M first. Tried it on. Was too big. So the second option was to try the top in S in black first if I liked it and then he would get the top for me off the model, the colour I wanted.

I tried it on and it look cute. Its one of those top you need to wear a singlet underneath. Told the guy it fit and then he got the top off the model the colour I wanted. Was so nice =)

This bit was good as gold =P

So when I wanted to pay for the 2 tops on eftpos it kept coming as canceled =( Looked like an idiot.
So I just said I will get the purple top for now. Then the sales assistant offered to lend me $25 for the singlet. Was so embarrassed. But I think he was kinda flirting with me.

I bet when I go into the store again he will remember me as the girl with no money in her account *looking embarrassed*

Picture Just For Me

Last week, I was sharing my pics from Blue Mountains with my koko. Then he complimented that I look nice with my hair down and that I look like more like a lady hehehe.

After sharing my pics, I asked nicely to my koko to draw my picture.

While waiting for my picture, I was chatting with my other friends, cleaning my room, and preparing to go to sleep hehehe.

Anyway just wanted to say thank you for the picture and let you know you are a talented graphic designer =)

Blue Mountains

I went to the Blue Mountains Friday night by train, took 2 hours train ride (which went really quick) went with a group of girls and guys =) We arrived at Katoomba station around 8.30pm. Man, as soon as we stepped onto the platform it was freakin' cold. Boy the wind was so strong.

I stayed at the YMCA not far from the Katoomba station. The place was alright considering we only had to pay $35 for the night. Watched a bit of Happy Feet but was soooo sleepy for some reason so I went to bed around 11pm (man I sound like an old nana hehehe). While everyone else was still up to the wee hours of the morning.

The next day we went bush walking to see the 3 sisters. The bush walking took us 2 hours. So tiring. I am surprised I survived. Man my legs are so sore, I can't even bend down properly. But the walk was worth it. After, the long walk we could catch the express vertical train back to the top. It was so cool =).

Since I was the only one with the license out of the group, I drove from the Blue Mountains to the city. Man that was a challenge for me since the last time I drove was in April when I went back to Brisbane. But it was all good. Thank God we arrived safely back to the city.

After our adventurous trip to the Blue Mountains we had dinner at Tony Romas (I think, forgot the name hehehe) for my Connect Group Leader's Farewell Party. The ribs were ok but personally I prefer Hurricane's =) the ribs there are so tasty hehehe.

By the end of the night, I was stuffed and dying. You could say that the weekend was a jammed packed one but overall I did have fun. Made some new friends =)

Korean mania

For those who know me really well, I am crazy over anything Korean hehehe.

Last week, I had strange encounters with Koreans.

One was when one Korean guy asked me directions to the Opera House after work so I told him the directions.

Second was when I went swimming in my complex (well actually I was in the spa) the guy just said Hi and so I turned to the guy and responded and then he started asking 20 questions to me. Very strange.

Then that same night I meet a Korean Canadian but this guy was normal hehehe. Kinda cute in my opinion hehehe. Really nice guy =) And the bonus part is he is a Christian =) I didn't get to see him on Sunday at church but I might see him at Powerhouse this Wednesday night. Funny and crazy guy hehehe. He admitted that he has a collection of Korean Drama was a bit shocked hehehe but hey I have another source for Korean dramas and movies for free ;) I am all up for free stuff!
