yada yada

Silences make the real conversation between friends, not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts

Greetings friends. It has been a dreadfully long time since i have put finger to keyboard and blogged anything blog worthy. So much has happened since the end of semester. We have had friends leave us for holidays, we have had that massive coral bay trip and many other outings that we have gone on.

So we happened to be at Koorong the other day and gosh, the amount of books that seem to be on the must read list was astounding. I do urge those of you who are still in perth to go to koorong and have a look about, not only will you be able to find great gifts to buy for friends and family during this festive season, i promise that you would find a good read for yourself. 

As most of our leaders have emphasized during cell, it is imperative that we continue to read the word during the holidays. Man, like last's weeks word by stan really impacted me as i realised how little i knew about the bible. Too true what he said about how dangerous it was to have our foundation or knowledge about spiritual truths based on what we hear from people. Totally made me want to read the bible more. For those of you who missed out due to being away, the message was pretty much why knowing the word was so important and a few verses were give on issues such as God's character, our purpose on Earth and the consequence of sin. Today's sermon makes it even more clear why we need to know the word, so that we can "yada" God. I shall stop there.

Anyways, i do hope Jia li, linzie, Anh, lin and lijin are holding up well. Us kiwis in perth are surely missing all of you. For the kids in singapore, as Eunice has said, we will definitely catch up for food and coffee. A bit of an update, im feeling the effects of too much BBQ food and my throat feels like the Gobi desert. I think we can learn from yesterday's BBQ not to ever buy too much meat. As the iconic George Bush puts it, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, wait a minute, fool me once, you can't fool me again.

Alrite friends, apparently we are heading down to Swan Valley on thursday, more information to come,till then, ill be missing you.

XOXO
