As promised, here are my favourite holiday snaps from the lovely land down under.
Wineries
Hobart waterfront at dusk
Hey guys, I'm back from the land of the wombats and koalas and I have lots of funny stories to tell of our road trip, like trekking in the snow storm, driving in clouds and running to get into wineries before they close.
I haven't gotten around to uploading my photos yet, so Joel's pic will have to do for today.
That was taken at Yerring Station, a winery that we got to just before they closed.

G'day Mate!
Hi Guys! I've been MIA lately cos I'm living it up down under. The last week has been spent in and around Melbourne, but the highlight has to be snowboarding!!!! Amazingly fun.
So I get to check 2 things off my 2010 to-do list now.
Ski/snowboard- Check!
Go to Australia- Check!
I'm pretty pleased with myself.
It has been great just hanging out with our church friends here too. Their hospitality really warms my heart, even in this freezing cold weather.
Silly me left my camera's SD card in Singapore so didn't manage to take any photos for the first few days... sad. I finally bought a new card in town, so hopefully I'll upload some pics soon. Anyway, it has been so cold, I really dont have the heart to take my fingers out of my toasty pockets to take photos. haha.
I'm off to Tazmania today. Hopefully I get some internet connection there. If not, take good care of yourselves! 1 comments

Reaching for You
Thought I could share a song that expresses what I've been feeling of late. Go check it out on youtube or something.
I can't believe the way
Your love has got a hold on me
Each morning I wake to find You near
You lift me above my fears
And set my feet on solid ground
All of my days belong to You
And I breathe in Your breath of life that fills my heart
You are my all consuming fire
I stand here before You
In wide opened wonder
Amazed at the glory of You
The power of heaven
Revealing Your purpose in me
As I'm reaching for You

Whizz Through the Weekend
T'was another lovely weekend, with perfect weather and beautiful people.
We enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Lau family, who graciously invited my whole cell group over to their place for a steamboat dinner, followed by a World Cup match (Brazil vs Portugal) and stories of their newly married life.
Wakeboarding bright and early on saturday was invigorating as we learned new tricks in the gorgeous weather. All of creation truly shouts His glory.
A bunch of my Secondary school friends then down to the Little Art Bug for Jorraine's mini art exhibition. That's Clara and I on one of the pretty art installations. Every kid should have a fort like this. I remember that my brother and I just to build such forts at home all the time. My parents' large blanket was the source of hours of joy.
It was great meeting Jorraine again. I think I haven't met her in years! I was inspired to see that at least one of us is pursuing her dreams and living the life she always wanted.
Whizz Through the Weekend
It has been awhile since I did a Whizz Through the Weekend Post
I've had a beautiful weekend so far, and it's still saturday! Life is beautiful!
After an angsty week at work, a bunch of us kicked back and relaxed over dinner at Via Mar at the Singapore Art Museum. The food wasn't great, but the place was lovely. We chose the outdoor seats which were in the courtyard of the beautiful colonial building, next to the swirling fountain. I can imagine this as the venue of many a marraige proposal.
I woke up to a smile this morning which totally made my day :)
Opera in the Park this evening was beautiful as well. I've been wanting to catch one of these performances at the Botanic Gardens and I'm glad that I finally did it today. It was the perfect mix of casual and cultured :) It has also been too long since I caught up with my friends from Uni and it's amazing to see where each person was in his or her life.
I also managed to successfully whip up two batches of cupcakes to bring along for the picnic, with the most simple recipe ever!
Life is beautiful.

Emily on Emerald Hill
Last Sunday, I managed to catch Emily on Emerald Hill with a bunch of friends. I didnt realize that the show I was catching was such a historic one and I felt privilleged to share in the occasion.
It was to be the last performance at the Old Victoria Theatre before the insides were to be torn out and the whole place fully renovated.
It was also the last time at Margret Chan would be playing Emily in this one woman show.
I wasnt quite sure what to expect since I had never watched a one woman play before. But it was lovely and powerful at the same time, as we caught a glimpse into the heart of a woman.
A daughter, a wife, a mother. All rolled into one. Roles most women play, each experience affecting the next.
