7:07 AM

Just got back from Convy'08 on Saturday night..
Convention was great i would say. Been reflecting quite a bit on myself and my walk with God.
Hanging out with the peeps for a full 6 days have been a great deal of fun and heaps and heaps of laughter.. they are a great bunch of friends and very good entertainment.
meeting new people and getting to see some familiar faces and now getting to know them better was good too.
so anyways. the group of us Convy peeps stayed over at Jojo's the night before our flight.
having not slept the night before and had to stay up the whole time as Convy starts the day we arrive, we were all feeling high. cracking lame jokes and struggling to keep awake the whole time.
but i really thank God for the travel buddies that these bunch of OCF Caulfield ppl make.
they are a damn good bunch to travel with.
haha. in terms of non-stop entertainment. :)
imagine we were the most happening bunch of peeps in Convy. Go Victoria!
so anyways. Convy started and i've gotten challenged quite a bit by the messages preached and the workshops.
I guess im really challenged to surrender all to God; trusting His best plans for my life.
There's no point holding on to things that are temporal in this world. things will fail me and situations will overwhelm me at times.
but God will be the only constant source of comfort and peace.
it was good to be challenged to do God's work.
He is afterall the Alpha and the Omega; the beginning n the end.
so wells. i felt that Convy was a great experience of a camp.
the committee did well too.

As for Adelaide touring, the city's pretty small and Rundle Mall is pretty much it.
we only took a day to walk around and went to Chinatown for food.
didnt manage to go to the acclaimed Baroussa Valley and the Wildlife Sanctuary.
wished we made it to Baroussa Valley though. after hearing so much about their fantastic dessert wine.
but cuz it was not on the way back to Melbourne. we skipped it.
so after dinner. we started on our supposedly 9 hour drive back to melbourne.
halfway, we decided to stay the night in a motel instead and it was really dodgy actually.
we put up in a motel in a town called Kingston. the place was really like a setup for a typical horror movie.
dimly-lit corridors, creaky doors, bunk beds, dripping water in the toilet and gothic receptionist. what more could we ask for at that time of the night.
so anyways. we just made do and slept the night.

next day.. continued on our road trip back to Melb.
stopped over in Mt Gambier. took photos at the gorgeous Blue Lake. really nice view.
then again at Umpherston sinkhole. was a pretty place.
the next stop was then at Port Fairy.
Dinner-ed at Apollo Bay then all the way home.
was a good bonding session in the car w the peeps. (Jojo, Jan, Vince and Jinn)
Vince's a true blue joker.

Sunday.
dinner w the group at Sung's kitchen for celebrating Nat's belated bday.
was good food. minus the wait. :)
played Poker later on at Jojo's place. was fun! =) i won my Happy meal at McDs! :)

today was HarbourTown shopping w song mei, jan, jojo n Jinn.
was nice checking out the place but not all the shops were opened yet though.
but Docklands was still nice anyhows. always a very nice place to chill.
though it seems pretty atas too. hee.
wanna go back someday to eat at NewQuay.. the seafood buffet =)

alrights. off to bed.!
pictures in the next!
