kangen sidney

Before i ought to leave the country of Australia, i've been given a priviledge to (finally) visit the eastern state. Omygucci...what else can Australia offers to us other than Garden city shopping centre and cafe makan2??!! ok so from july 2nd to 18th, me and my gurlfrens were enjoying, indulging, overspending our money in the city of sidney. Mygoodnezz we should've moved to sydney ages ago if we knew it look so much like NYC!! it's sooo much more beautiful than perth. i've olweis loved perth all my lyfe, love the coffee, the cakes, the laid back nature of the city, but for those people who were stuck in perth all ur lyfe *just like me*, do urself a favour..get a ticket and fly to sydney. the city is magical.

So we were there, of course for the purpose of attending conference, but other than that we were there to kill ourself, shop til we die!!! "do you want to take picture in darling harbour?" "do you want to do rock climbing" "do you want city tour and concert" "HEW NO!! how can we get to paddington the fastest??" hahaha...i tell you, leave ur stiletto at home gals!! i was walking hundreds block, back and forth...first looking for bally store from QVB, then LV store, then krispy kreme.. omaigoshh...second day, i'll learn my lesson and wore thongs instead, eventhough it was 10 degrees cold outside!!

what else can i tell about syd, humm..the food...geezz all of us gained like 1000 kilos, then got sick bcoz of so unhealthy eating, then the view of the city...we went out at nite, going to hundreds of cafe with million dollar view...so pretty!! then of course that wouldnt happen if we dont have a million dollar tour-guide hahaha.. *tengkyuu KOKO jimii..!!* hahaha

Anyway, more than the shopping and the food, i'm so blessed to go to sydney as I can see people who have changed the world, like bonke, meyer, darlene face to face. Listen to their stories and buy their bookz. it's priceless!! moreover, standing in awe of God in a stadium with 30000 people..it's beyond words to express. I mean, the whole stadium is like a family. We worshipped God together, shouting, praying, jumping up and down..it's just WOW!! and of course meeting new people in attunga camp. the church was amazing, everyone is very friendly and it feels just like at home, the Rockz. Ci trace..o mai Goss u dont know how much it means to me, the hours and hours of talking at the very last minute of our farewell..!!!thank you for pouring ur heart to me!! your advice and impartasi of compassion are totally what i need!!!

arghh when are we going for second round to sydney, gurls?! or should we head to NYC straight away :)

saturday afternoon

been a while since i last blogged hey, anyway it's 4 days counting down to my departure from perth to bandung. hum, mixed feelings, from anxious to blankness, from excitement to fear, but hey a gurl gotta do wat she gotta do.

it's funny when u find that ur day of departure is coming near, suddenly u feel like u are going to miss out loads of good stuff. Good stuff from the other part of you that you are going to leave behind. Suddenly, you found yourself in a strange, unfamiliar environment. You were there before, sharing the commonality, the routine together, but you are no longer a part of it. gosh, it feels weird.

i've been doing a lot of "cathcing up", "farewell get together", all those chit-chat wif my beloved ones, and listening to their stories, how they plan to spend the nex 5 yrs ahead, some are gonna get married, some are being promoted in their jobs, some are thinking to do master degree, bla bla bla. I was thinking to myself, "man, i wouldnt be there to share those journeys with you".

but as me, tine and adel were talking the other nite, we said that we are going to be the type of frens that will go our separate ways, but will regularly meet, maybe once a year, and straight away we can have a good, long, deep, wide, great talk over a cup of coffee. I found that, very comforting though.
