I guess my post abt aus is getting really draggy. So i will just wrap it uo with a really brief post. Basically the 2nd and 3rd daywe went to movie world and dream world respectively. The rides there were rather thrilling andfun However, i think tt we would hav had a better time if there wasnt any rain. But then again its not everyday you gt to ride on rides in the rain. so i guess its a diff experience all together. The next day we went to ctach wabbies(erm smth like crayfish but smaller) and crabs. then we used the live wabbies as bait for fish. Tt evening we went to gold coast's surfer's paradise beach for a swim. the waves in the pacific ocean was just awesome, in sg you can nvr gt waves tt big. The following day we went over to asia's biggest tropical fruit farm. i guess the main highlight of the trip was being able to crack raw macadamias and eating them on the spot. thereafter, we went to a factory outlet for a shopping spree. tt really sums up my trip. ireally hope someday i will be able to visit australia again :D someday.. haha
Everyday~ Its You I Live For~
Hello ! I am back from church camp ler. Had a really great time there. Ok wait, great is an understatement, it was AWESOME !!! :D Yea, finally after attending church for like 16 years of my life, i actually gt to know ppl from youth. Haha. Well, i guess it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, treading into new territories. I know i really benifited from this camp, through all the sermons and lessons learnt. Now i know i really want to be serious in my relationship with God. In doing so i must press on and be consistant. Yesterday, it was really really awesome so see all those ppl being touched by God/Holy Spirit. I was included, i guess. Haha. Its really a feeling tt can only be felt and not discribed. Really glad i attended the camp. i really look forward to the one next year :D

Australia 171210
Day 2 Friday 171210 (07:30)
I woke up with my legs feeling really sore. The captain of the plane then made an announcement saying that we were going to begin our desend. I opened the window shades and was greeted my the bright morning sun. Finally we were here. The landscape was filled with farms and everything looked so mini.
After we landed, we took a short bus ride to a boat jetty. We took the 1hour ferry to an offshore island called Tangalooma. It is a beautiful island with clear blue waters and clean white sand, it is simply paradise. There we were taken to a small restraunt where we had our buffet lunch. Next on our itenary was sand boarding. Sand boarding ?? yea, i had the same reaction too, but trust me, its one hell of an awesome sport.
We boarded a 4 wheel drive bus and took a bumpy offroad ride to the somewhere.. Soon the forest clearing disappeared and we enter to the wilderness, or simply placed, the dessert. The area was totally empty with the exception of small srubs. Mountains of sand and sand dunes made up the landscape.
I gasped the moment i gt of the bus as i saw the biggest and steepest sand hill in my life. A short briefing was given by our bus driver. In his briefing he mentioned " You will gt sand in places you will not expect to find" At first i tot he was being kua zhang. But after waxing the wooden board and sliding down the hill at 60km/h, i would say, listen to the old man, he aint kidding. COZ I HAD SAND IN MY NOSE AND EARS AND MANY MANY MORE ._. haha. i met a new friend there, we talked as if we had knew each other for years, but tt i the first time i saw tt person, and pretty much the last i guess. didnt gt her name though, so my family calls her The Sand Dune Girl. HAHA.By the time we were done, it was evening and time for our next experience. Dolphine feeding~ But before tt i managed to gt a few sunset pics and gt to see a rainbow~ pics on fb by the way. Yea back to the dolphine thing. Well we went into the freezing water and gt to feed the dolphines. basically we hold a fish put it into the water and let the dolphine grab it from us. Cool huh ? haha. Yea, after tt was dinner and pretty much the end of the day :D

Australia day 1 171210
Yay ! I am back frm australia ler. had a really great time there bah.
Thursday 16/12/10 21:20
*growl* ._. haha what a way to start my post but i guess tt really happened. Cant really blame my stomach though, coz i haven had my dinner. We were supposed to meet the tour guide at 10pm so i had no choice but to pia a little longer. i sat on the sit at the airport, feeling a little disappointed to the slow start of the trip.
Well i guess with every passing minute the intensity of my hunger grew and tt in turn made me more grumpy. As you know a hungry man is an angry man, so you gt the drift. haha. Finally the tour guide came and he gave us a brief rundown about the trip.
When i though i could finally go for dinner, some aunty started to bombard the tour guide with a barage of qns. Darn, i gt some kang chong spider aunty in my tour group, just great.. Soon aft, we went over to the kopitiam and had minced pork noodles. yummy ! haha. Finally i gt to eat smth. haha. before we went through the immigration, we stopped by some super mart for a quick drink. and then we were off. Before i knew it, i was waiting to board the plane. i was dying to have a quick plurk but darn no internet. oh ya, basically, my tour group consisted of families with young children , so i was kind of disappointed bah.(cant make new friends T.T) there was some hope however, as there was this one girl how seemed around my age. you ppl must be thinking wah this samuel like flirt sia. Nope, i really mean friend so at least gt someone to talk to. tts all. haha.
So soon i was on the plane, SQ flight ! yay ! wun bored ler. Slightly pass midnight, the engines of the airplane burst into life and the plane began to taxi to the runway. Like a rush of adrenaline, the plane quickly accerated to neckbreaking speed(tis one a lttle kua zhang hehe), and with a few tilts to the sides, the plane was soon off. i gazed out of the small oval window, admiring the dazzling lights tt litted singapore. truely a marv sight i tell you. ahh. But tt didnt catch my attention for long, and i was soon staring into the screen in front of me. 7hours flight, i had better find something to do huh ? So i chionged two movies, one eng and one chinese. just as i felt tired and wanted to sleep, the person in front of me leaned her chair back all the way. And for someone with relatively long legs it was damn uncomfortable. freaking inconsiderate person in front @#$%^&!
i shifted myself frequetly but the lack of leg room really took a toll on me. i was really skeptical tt the trip would be fun due to the dull start. however, the saying goes "ming tian hui gen hao", is it really true ? Haiish.
my eyelids started to grow heavy and i dosed off into another light nap. ZZZ...
