time with the most impt ppl in my life down under Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 11:42 PM i woke up from my sleep like i've to catch my breath on the surface. i was submerge in light all night long and somehow i just woke up like that. lyn's asleep and Pastors too. We had an early night... we had a great time, now waiting for daniel's and charleston's arrival. so here is where i am, lying head up right beside the television. the television and lyn's bed, that's where i am and i reached for my laptop to catch up with what's happening back home. i don't think i need anymore sleep, at least i don't think... i just thought, i'd better just get an entry and then go back off to sleep but then longer i stay awake the more things i feel like doing. it's 1217am singapore and 317am aussie. in a few hours daniel and charleston will come knocking on our doors. as i type this, the outside life captured my attention. the harbour looked beautiful. the city lights silhouetted the entire harbour. it's a beautiful sight. only the glass window separates me from the night sky. and looking at everything outside, i know tomorrow will be even better. 29th Jan i woke up with only 2 things on my mind. 1) get to the airport on time 2) what will pastors think of that i will not my flight was at 905am, gates open 805am... gotta check in early like around 645am. got to the airport at 530am and got everything settled! and i waited for pastors to come. they've worked so hard for like since march last year and we were all looking forward to resting and i'd just got to make it a pleasant trip you know!!! we touched down in sydney about 8plus pm and the day was gone. everything closes and ppl go into their homes latest by 5 to 6pm over here so yeah... we did minimal, got to the hotel and later Pastor How and i went to hunt for supper. Darling Harbour, the place that we're at... I realized, i've been here before. But just that i didn't explore it enough, it felt like my first time here and it really did. It's beautiful in the night here... even as i type this i look out of the window and it still seem pretty much like a happening city down there now with all the lights. It's just pretty, being here looking over... 30th Jan i woke up and i didn't know how i did. We slept late and we are 3 hours ahead over here... Lyn got up to and in the end we just sat on the sofa stoning the life out of each other. later we decided we should do something exciting and i don't know how exciting this gets, we watched Bon Jovi and Jay Chou DVD. it was hilarious... Bon Jovi was upright cool in your face. Couldn't deny that... Jay Chou was still a little new, still having a hard time entertaining the crowd but he was still good. I like him i do i do. But Bon Jovi? hands down.. when the clock hit 6 i pulled over my jacket, adjusted my cap and i was on the streets alone. the cafes were already open so early. So i was strolling, enjoying, there was definitely something different about that way i walked. i'd looked over into the cafe, smile at people, greet them, jay walk a little. it was cool ... i got to Coles, your giant giant supermarket and did grocery shopping alone. it was so cool... i can only describe this to you in person... i just took stuff off the shelves as if i knew what i was doing... i didn't actually so you know in the end, i had to take a cab back to the hotel. then here the best part, arranging everything in your refrigerator!!! satisfied... closed it was inevitable, i fell asleep again. by the time i woke up, pastors were awake and we went hang out by the harbour. we found paradise in the form of a food court just opposite our hotel. it's amazing.... the food.. then later that day, Pastor How and i took a trip down to Coles again and this time, i was with the pro. And i just learnt so much... back to the hotel, did what we had to do... cook and experimented some stuff. Got the internet up and running... watched a movie and we were off to bed. TOMORROW WE HIT THE STREETS FOR SHOPPING. Well, this is what i called an ideal holiday. Plenty of time with the most impt ppl in your life. Plenty of time alone. Plenty of walk and less talk. Plenty of sounds and music, smiles and chill out. I wished you were here :) while i detox, you detox too... when i'm back, muahahaha we'll go and we will go... build build and build. that's all for now, photos? another time :) rest well too...
