Listening to: "Love Yogurt" by JJ Lin
Mood: Happy Happy Happy
Weather@Sydney: 19 deg, Great!

.:. [ [ A Church to Settle Down in & Great New Friends!! ]] .:.

I feel so happy so happy so happy today! :) For two main reasons: One - I finally found a church I can forsee myself settling down in after a semester long hunt. Two - I made two new Singaporean Christian friends - really great gals who are also studying in my campus. God is really awsome! :)

Ironically, the church I most likely will settle down in is an Anglican church - St. Barnabas Anglican Church. The service structure & fellowship style is very similar to my ex-church in Singapore - a Lutheran Church. After shifting to Trinity Christian centre over the past 4 yrs, it's funny how eventually I'm still more drawn to a traditional liturgical based small fellowship based church. Those who know me from my previous church would most likely gasp at this confession ... huh? Lixian? Liturgical? Did the sun rise from from the west? Ok ok!! I admit!! I'm getting old!! I actually enjoy listening to scriptures being read. I actually enjoy singing more hymn like songs. I actually enjoy going through the apostle prayer & benediction! I actually enjoy listening to sermon which are focused on the Word - & not having scriptures scripted into social issue sermons to beef it's credibility or charasmatic preachers boasting about their achivements & vision! Alright .. I am getting old. Haha .. but, hey! :) All that hand raising, speaking in tongue, passion for missions & music ministry stuff hasn't been lost .. it's just .. I like the feeling of being more grounded I guess ... part of the process of being more than a quarter way into the grave I suppose .. hmmm .. a little too morbid here eh? :) So ... for those who have been watching out for me spiritually .. many heartfelt thanks ... lets see how things go from here eh? :)

Secondly, I got to know a Singaporean girl, Jia Yu, who's in her 4th yr speech therapy through another Singaporean girl, Angela, I got to know by concidence... rather complicated. But the bottomline is. they are really nice, genuine, dilligent & gorgeous girls! Coincidentally, we are all from Nanyang Primary. Talk about an alumni! :) Angela introduced me to Jia Yu to bring me to her church instead because Angela attends a chinese church. Jia Yu & I really got along real well ... well, having common interests in eating & shopping definitely helped... along with the fact she stays really near me!! Wow ... and also, there are a lot of people from OCF (overseas christian fellowship - uni of sydney) in my church so I might just see how my schedule goes & see I can commit to something! :)

Ah .. .another matter of interest is I got to visit the only Burmese restaurant in Sydney with a friend yesterday evening. Well, it is apparently very very popular but I didn't quite like the food. Mainly because I've actually been to Myanamar & tasted the authentic cuisine .. the one here really cannot make it. I still think the Burmese restuarant at the basement of Peninsular Plaza in Singapore is fantastic!! Can't wait to go back & try! :)

Oh another thing .. my ears are blocked again! Golly .. I dun know why I've this chronic blocked ear thing. The last time I was @ the docs, he said my ears were 90% blocked... since being in Sydney, I never really took particular notice of my ears until a couple of days ago when I was on the phone with dear.. I noticed could hear him very clearly with my right ear, but when I changed over to my left ear .. I could hardly hear anything @ all!! It was all very frightening! Golly ... so bought a ear wax solution today .. hopefully it helps!

Ah ... what a awesome weekend! :) I feel really happy .. Jia Yu & I went shopping today after church .. toiletries plus groceries? Fantastic combination! :) Ta! :)
