OC 2010

I have 4 articles left to read to prepare for tuesday's not assessed quiz but here am i having this strong rebelious feeling to blog.Anyways....today i will be blogging about the Oceania Convention at the Gold Coast. Well its actually a church conference and this was my first. They alternate between Brisbane and Melbourne. Next year will be in Melbourne and im hoping to go...It was a great convention! Getting to know my lifegroup members a little more and just enjoying being in the presence of God. Man! it was amazing! Definitely a spiritual refreshing one!

So we left at about 11am on Good Friday(The first day of Easter break)

Our first stop was at Sunny Bank..Some had lunch at Little Singapore while i bought some whole grain buns and Taro milk tea :)

The camp site was at Broadbeach Gold Coast..We reached about 45 minutes later and gosh the beach was just so breathtaking! The place where we were staying was sooo high class too!I shared the master bed room with Chee! We had a big plasma tv and a big mirror wardrobe! plus when we woke up our view was the beach! What a great start to the Easter break yeah?

Our second day lunch! They served very very good food indeed! The first day was like about 4-5 different kinds of pasta...it was a little cheesy for me so i just tried a bite for each and indulge on buns!haha...they had good buns! plus...there was this hazelnut ice cream! Sooooo yummy!

We had free time after the first session for the day...we just had to walk along the beach!

Third day was Easter Sunday! We all got dolled up! Meet Chee my room mate and Joyce! :)

Took a groupie picture! This is Judah 8 :)

And finally on our last day! Auntie and uncle was so kind to prepare such a healthy breakfast for us..There were fruits,oats and juice! and lotsa dried fruits tooo! Thank you for your love uncle and auntie

Finally, after the closing ceremony! Took more pictures!

The theme was Ethos-rediscovering our core values! Cool huh?

After we planned to go back to Uncle and auntie's place to help do some cleaning..outside their apartment....

From left to right:Me,Chee and Veon

*Veon is both me and Chee's shepherd:)

Thank you Chee for the great company! Nice sharing the room with you.So glad to have known you better! Wish you wont be going back after you graduate in July:(

So that was my first half of the holidays! Next up Melbourne trip!

I have so many outdated posts :S

I have at least 3 outdated things i want to blog about. Funny how all things need to be done all at one time.and when you have nothing to do, there really is nothing to do...Life goes on.

Lets see.. Let me start from my 2 decades birthday celebration:) I know i really should have done this 3 weeks ago......so forgive me if i missed out tiny details. i doubt you will know anyway..haha..okay i should really stop crapping and get on with my main purpose of this post.

So let me start with the weekend before my birthday.. Celebrated with my ex housemates:)

We were going to West end for lunch together..At the ferry terminal waiting for Devi!

almost all the girls from Unit 1:)

Camwhored somemore.....In the end there was some miscommunication, and Devi was already at the cafe we were going...

After the ferry we had to take the bus........camwhored somemore:)

And finally at the Three monkeys cafe! we weren't allowed to take photos but we were lucky we already got enough shots before the waitress came over to tell us that we were not allowed to take photos:(

Outside the cafe,waiting to cross the road:)

Because the cafe, sold cakes too....they didnt allow us to have our cake, so we went elsewhere to have it....

With ShuNing...Thanks for all the lovely photos!

Connie trying to teach me how to pose..which turn out somewhat funny:D

If you are wondering why bugs bunny appeared..that was my birthday gift from them!
