syd report

IM BACK!!!
doggie im back!
sze-er wo hui lai le!
samsam im back!
hahaha i have to say i love melbourne so much!!!
i really want to stay here next year
but im not sure whether i can yet we'll see how it goes... ^^

alright so my sydney trip was great,
putting aside the fact that it was almost 31 degree celcius
*faints* ITS HOT. VERY HOT.
i took jetstar to sydney and virgin blue back to melb

MELB to SYD (11/11/2006)

i woke up at 6.15am and left home at 6.30am
went to southern cross station to take the sunbus to the kampong airport
that is avalon airport (refer below for photos)
the flight was due to take off at 9.45am and the plane actually came only at 9.45am
so punctual eh?
so anyway, it was an Airbus A320,
with seats three on the left n three on the right of the aisle
and total of 30 rows i sat at 15D
and guess what... the passenger who was taking the seat 15F did not board
so me n the other lady on 15E had more space
whee~! ^^
ohyes, one thing to remind all of u guys taking domestic flights
dun take the seat on row 12 or 13
becos thats where the emergency exit
and the seats cannot be pushed backwards

so the plane took off and at this moment,
the flight manager spoke over the speaker
" good morning passengers, im felicity, your flight manager for today's flight..."
ohmygoodness!!!
i know im travelling overseas just a week before the exams,
but do u have to scare me this way?!
yes felicity... i did study even in sydney i did some maths n some parts of lit essay

okay then we landed at around 11.30am
and yuC came to fetch me immediately from airport back to my cheche's place
^^ thanks yuC!!!
then along the way to SUV (cheche's place)
i noticed the street names
they have Bourke Rd, Lincoln, Queen St, Lee St, Valentine St
compare these with those in melbourne, Bourke St, Lincoln and Queen St
dont they look similar?
there are many more such examples
but cant really rmb
australia really have not much creativity in naming streets eh?
maybe its too big and have too many streets and so too troublesome?
*shrugs*

cheche and her housemate, zita, and zita's boyfriend, 'uncle' thomas, and yuC and me went downstairs to grab a quick lunch
becos its their exam week now
had thai food, very huge servings for only $6.00
then we went to opp SUV where there is a famous cafe for coffee
Campos its really good, becos after my cup of mocha i was addicted
and decided that i'll get coffee when i return to melb
it was rich and very fragrant.
i like! i want more!
haha then me n yuC went to the city to get groceries for dinner
and we made rissoto for the rest.
i think i roughly know how to cook that now.
i'll try and make for my darlings some time after exams okay?
ahha hopefully i rmb how to...

the nx day was my sister's baptism
where she will acknowledge God in front of the public
where she will be a witness unto many ppl
where she will give glory to God
thank you God for leading her along the way guiding her
and walking with her all these years
helping her to grow spiritually
may my sister continue to serve our Father wholeheartedly
and be a good example to others,
reflecting God in her life cheche,
im proud of you, and im proud to have you as my dear sister <3

so yea the next day thomas came to fetch the 5301 residents to CPC
my sister dressed up well, in a skirt and a nice nice white handbag,
for her big day
the cell leaders like yuC and ah fie and others
they prepared breakfast for the cell members
ahfie brought the chinese bigbig meat bao
yuC brought 粘饭, that is glutinous rice stick with pork floss n some stuffs kind of thing

sunday school was led by ah fiewe talked about three powerful people in the Bible
Nicodemus - refer to John 3:1-21
Paul - refer to Acts 9, 22
Solomon - refer to Proverbs 9, Ecclesiastes 1-3
all of them experienced God and acknowledge and believe that God is the highest and that all wisdom come from Him
the whole study was done in cantonese....
hahaha i managed to translate and digest the words, except the names
thankyou God!

then it was the service and baptism
hehe i sat with my cheche's boyfriend, paul (refer below for photo)
ohya the first thing when i saw paul in the morning
my cheche tell me to greet him
haha becos of the 'uncle' thomas trend
i called him paul korkor
sound so funny la, then he replied with janet muimui
haha okay then...when the baptism ceremony began
the first to go up to the front to take photo was ahdong,
then whole bunch of ppl followed
that includes yuC, me, paul, jason etc
so yup, my cheche is now baptised ^^

after the service paul and i become her personal photographers
ppl flocked to her to take photos
give their congrats and giftsy
es we even had to help her carry her presents haha
after running around the church several times
we went for lunch at yoshinoya
had to walk a distance there so along the way...
i was behind my cheche and paul
i took paul's camera and took some pics of their back
haha IM A TRAINED PAPARAZI!
ohwell then at yoshinoya more of her friends were there
many of them i met before in hk as well as other times when i was in syd
zoe, heidi, issac, joseph, ben, nick and some more
paul went to sit at a two-seater table
so obviously he didnt want me to sit with him n cheche
okayla! fine...
the rest told me to sit with joseph since he was sitting alone
hahaha the girls so funny la
becos the 5 guys there had lots to talk to me about
only becos im ahyol (cheche) sister and im from melbourne
but they say until so distorted
" issac, cannot like that wor... look at ben (sitting opp him), dun turn your head.."
issac's girlfriend is betty
=( didnt see betty this time becos she was busy with her church activities
ohya... all my cheche's friends like to call me xiumui in cantonese, i.e. 小妹, little sister
it all started with zoe la

haha ^^then after lunch i went down to broadway coles with 'uncle' thomas
then went back to prepare dinner
yuC came from home with tofu dish and a pot of soup (supposedly so)
but after dinner, they surprised me and thomas with a birthday cake
thomas birthday is on the 14th nov and mine on the 15th nov
^^ thanks ppl!!!
and cheche gave me a small little white pouch
very nice de, even the bag holding the pouch is very elegant
so thats basically all i did in sydney

SYD to MELB (13/11/2006)

i left the house with cheche
she went for exam and i left for the airport
this time i didnt cry when cheche walked away
but i cried when i reach the train station,
that was where cheche sent me till the previous time i went over there in march
i cry a bit on the train ='(
i always have this thought on my mind when i depart
" i didnt mean to quarrel or fight with you, i wanted to talk to you nicely, but i failed and always end up being mad at each other at least for one ocassion.... we dun meet often, so cant we just tolerate each other just that bit more... sorry but im leaving le... it will be quite a while before we meet again..."
at this point i'll cry
haiyo... im always like that de
dunno why when me n my cheche see each other...
we usually cant talk properly
but separated over distances and over the phone.. we are perfectly fine O.O

anyway the virgin blue flight i took was very punctual
and i managed to rush to school on time for my eap tut party
i didnt even go home... only managed to go home after eap
i was SO SO DRAINED OUT by then
yawn~
but still had drama at lincoln
yawn~
but finally my drama is looking good
^^ jiayou!
