I'm BACK and BLESSED!

29th August 2008

It's always an undeniable fact that God is always GOOD to me! I have a great and wonderful trip to Gold Coast! After the 'nite mare' of being left behind by the group; finally I get myself on plane to Sdyney for transit to Gold Coast! To be frank, I have a sleepless nite with an panda eyes when I'm on board as the sense of rejection is so huge to me that I started to have the phobia to travel. (Thanks to God that I have overcome it!)

I like JETSTAR's service very much! They are really caring and 'professional' even though they are the budget airline. The experience that I have with them is really unforgetable as they respect the passengers and gives you the service that you deserved! This experience was for example, my seat neighbour falls asleep during the last meal serve and he cant get to buy his breakfast as the session was already over; but the stewardess understand that he was hungry as the flight from KL to Sydney is long journey! Guess what! She give him 2 snack bun for free!! Actually not the 'free stuff' that has attracted me but it's the customer service that they provided to the passengers that has impressed me.

The transit from Sydney International Airport to the Domestic Airport is not a walking distance as I assumed it is. I want to praise God that He has a PERFECT timing for everything!! Even though this was my first time to Sydney Airport, I managed to get my way to the Domestic Airport! It's a real great experience to travel and be into this 'adventures'!

It's a always blessing to have someone there available to pick a 'lost sheep'! Hehee.. I'm the lost sheep lor.. The organizer, Har has arranged and get a 'handsome' guy to pick me up at Gold Coast Airport to MovieWorld directly. It's a great day!! I have quit from taking all the 'funny' rides for quite sometimes but once I stepped into the MovieWorld; I cant resist to join back the crowd and takes all the 4 and 5 star rate rides! (No joke on one of the rides - Superman Escape that I took, the experience was like My body is ahead of me but my hearts and aware was 3seconds behind! It's really a great time to be there... and I'm extremely exhausted that nite!


30th August 2008
We went to Paradise Farm and at there; we 'expereince' the real Australian farm by watching people sherding the sheep, Billie Jean's and boomerang performance. It's quite a wonderful experience as I never saw it before. :-p

At that nite, I went over to my cousin's aparment to overnite and her place is really magnificent! The view that oversees the whole Surfer's Paradise is great and the enviroment is superb! We went for a walk after the dinner; but I get an "EGG ATTACK" from the Australian! This was just a split seconds that my jeans with full egg and egg shell!! My cousin thought initially that someone from the apartment has throw an egg out from the apartment but in the end, we agreed that the egg was from the car that drove on the road.. No matter where the egg came from, I've been attacked by egg and I have to end my night early. To my own surprise, I dont really feel anything as this is just a small little things compared to missing the flight and have to catch another flight here to Gold Coast. Not a big deal, I can just wash my jeans and my cousin's house is just a walking distance. Egg.. So WHAT!

Not to mention on the EGG Attack; I've a great blessings from my cousin as she motivated and inspired me with alot of teaching from the bible especially on the TALENTS! God has given us alot of Talents; Use it for His Kingdam and God will call you " GOOD and FAITHFUL SERVANT" !! This sharing really speaks to me and I'm still searching on how I can give back to God and serve His People. Besides that, there's another one advice that I grabed hold the most is Always move FORWARD; not SIDEWARD! Face your challenge and overcome it!

As per expected, my cousin is a workalcoholic! I thought she will bring me to church but her staff absence from work so she will have to replace her for the morning shift and not able to make it to bring me to church. And to my surprise and shocked, she passed me the car key with a map to Carrara mkt! Guys, this is my first day (less than 18hrs) in Surfer's Paradise! But I took the 'kiasu' challenge from her and drove myself to Carrara mkt in a Camry (the biggest car that I ever drive in my lives!) When I reached Carrara mkt, to be very frank; I very proud with myself that I can make it there safely! (Thank God for His protection!)

But.. I'm lost on my way back! :-( (Don't laugh at me lar!) I used less than 15mins to arrive Carrara mkt but around 1hr to be back to Surfers Paradise! No matter how, I'm stil back to Surfer's Paradise safe and sound,k! Hahaha... I'm PROUD of myself! I prayed very hard one ar... cause my cousin just let me know the building colors and landmark along the road to Carrara without mentioning the road name!

Hehehe.. more to share is.. I ate Lobster that nite!! Hehehe.. It's really delicious!!! But.. I'm too tired to really enjoy and taste the food...

1st Sept 2008
A group of 5 of us went to Mt. Tambourine this day; the view of the mount is magnificent and very very peaceful! I wish to go back there once again to enjoy every single corner of the mount because the trip was quite rush as we followed the tour arrangement. The expereince in wine tasting in the winery is really something new to me and I enjoyed it very much!

We went to Surfer's Paradise after the tour and I went to say Good bye to my cousin. Out of my expectation, my cousin blessed me with some supports! I'm proud with her success in her career life and her determination in her work is really sth that I need to learn from her very much.

2nd Sept 2008
Wake up early in the morning and back to M'sia lor... But I really thank God as He just send angel to us. My luggage confirmed overweight but we just managed to get ppl that dont shopped to have a group checked in with us to avoid the penalty of overweight.

We need to get a tax rebate with the Australia custom but I cant carry liquid products on board; as we arrived the airport, we managed to get a customer officer to help us to inspect and get all the procedures smoother! God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!
