thursday was spent w the housemates and tommy in the city and at flemington for the royal melb show.
the day was def filled with loads of fun! :)
pixar exhibition was great. loved all the sketches and all the pastel paintings as well as the great digital art.
there are a lot of work and research done behind the scenes to make films like Cars, ToyStory, The Incredibles and many other pixar animated films. from the initial idea of what the story would be to putting the story into drawing and piecing them all together.
wow. the creativity and talent that these artists have.
i really admire the amount of effort and talent behind these works. amazing.
aft the exhibition, we met tommy up to head to royal melb show at the showgrounds.
we were met by a massive galore of games, animal shows, theme park rides and the many things available for play at the showgrounds.
it was really one giant funfair. :)

saturday.

1st ever surfing lesson at torquay.

i woke up nice and early feeling pretty excited at the same time uncertain of what the surf lesson would turn out to be.

weather was great and apparently the waves were great.

of cos we were going no where near tt. being 12ft (6ft wave measurement) high, im too scared too start off there.

we all got our intro to surfing with mini waves and getting tt push was good from it was gd enuff. :)

the sea was nature's very own washing machine and our water playground too.

aft a run through and lil warmup, we managed to grasp the idea of what it really takes to surf by our private instructor Kevin.

but i didnt manage to really catch waves and stand on my board in my 1st lesson though. =/

was almost getting to it and i just fall off my board.

takes a great deal more practice i guess.

all in all.well. i def will try surfing again.:)

the morning was a fun start to this new sport.

we all felt really tired and hungry aft all the paddling out and getting up from the overturned boards and stuff.

nonetheless, we alr had seawater and sand for lunch while at it. sounds good isn't it? haha.

natural sustenance.

anyways. we all got home and really crashed for a couple of hours. =P

muscles all sore now but was well worth the experience :)

im def still looking fwd to the next time trying it again.

Roxy surf jam should be great fun too! November !!! looking fwd.!

torquay surfing academy

all prepped up to hit the lil waves ;p

the three beginners.

after the surf. tired but happy :)

the hols have came and went.

went by a tad too quick.faster than i liked it to.

didnt touch work AT ALL. =X

exams are already round the corner.

i gotta get started and back in motion for school.

tmr's the start of week 11 alr.

God, i need your sustenance! :)

5:01 AM

i finally got to watch Hairspray!

very nice musical kinda movie.

kept me entertained throughout. :)

i cant wait for the downloads to be out. haha.

worth watching a second time. :)

i found it had a good moral storyline too.

beauty comes in all shapes and sizes :)

personality definitely strikes more than the outer superficial appearance afterall.

let's attempt to INTEGRATE rather than SEGREGATE. white n black not white vs. black =P

really interesting how the messages are brought forth in the musical kinda way.

loved the music!!.

there are so many other nice movies coming out and ive so many on the list ive yet to watch as well.. gosh.! can the holidays nv end? =Pp

anyways. its been a good catch up i had today.

thurs.! royal melb show n pixar!! =D yay!!

one word to describe our 1st ever KLC camp: AWESOME!! =)

our first ever kingdom life church camp was held at The Island Resort out at Phillip Island.
drove up friday night.
had a good time of games and fun. was really nice seeing the different side of everyone.
just chilling out together and having fun as a church.:)
saturday was a full day of activities.
i was on kids for one of the sessions. missed out the message by Peter McHugh on tt one.
but his message was great for the one i attended. on acceptance and performance.
many of us perform and strive to perform well in order to be accepted by people.
this stirs up a competitive spirit in us. the bad of it to me was that its wrong basing my life on competitiveness to get a place in the world.
it's definitely not an aim for me in life.
there's no point gaining all the riches in the world but dont build my faith up enough.
i cant depend on myself. it will take me no where.
the god who's my all sufficiency allows me to totally fall into comfort zone w Him.
thank god for his grace n mercies new everyday :) love ya'
so yeap. atmosphere of camp was great.
loved the messages, love the people, love the fun and activities. all for one cause.
tried out the flying fox. kids' style. hee =P
went down to one of the beaches during the break. checked out ppl surfing.
got to Nobbies after. near the place where Penguin Parade was.
caught sight of a couple of penguins tt were up on shore too.
i wanna get back soon to watch the penguin parade. should be great but pretty chilly out there too.!
camp's been my highlight of the week. a great start to my hols too.!!
church today was good. liberating and so much to offer.
i love KLC!! <3

got quite a bit lined up for the week coming up too. :)
looking fwd to surfing actually.
hopefully i get some work done during the week as well.
till then... here are some photos. :)
