Changes

I am really leaving. It's D-4 days to Sydney. I have been spending the past week meeting up with people. Some are new acquitances that i have just started getting comfortable with. Others are old friends who go back years and we are like history... Whatever it is, it is sad to leave them. I wonder if things were ever be the same after the break in communication.



Of course, the world is smaller now with internet connection, skype, gchat, yahoo messenger etc.... still i feel that nothing beats face to face contact and communication.



To my friends,
See you'll again soon

5 Principles to prepare us to be victorious in spiritual battle

Heb 2:18; 4: 14-16 Believers must be alert to the devil's schemes. However our approach to temptation and spiritual warfare must be guided by biblical teaching. 1. Each reponse Jesus made to the devil reaffirmed his deep commitment to God. 2. Jesus responded to each temptation by quoting the Old Testament. 3. Jesus resisted the devil's advances. A significant part of spiritual warfare is resistance. There is much truth in the adage " Just say NO" Jesus immediately resisted the tempation 4. We must remember that bring tempted is not a sin. We might have the impression that the more conformed we are into Christlikeness, the less we will be tempted. The truth is that the more Christlike we become, the more subtle the temptations - like eating bread or taking a bite from an apple. The devil often begins with the seemingly insignificant. 5. Jesus entered the desert with the anointing of the Spirit, full of the Spirit, and led by the Spirit.

I spent the weekend with friends. It is amazing that when one is away and alone, we form new bonds with friends whom you may not be with otherwise when back home. The sense of bonding together when you are away from family and friends is just great. Saturday was spent in hunter's valley. There is a festival there called lovedale long lunch. 7 vineyards come together to organise a day of wine and dine. You buy a wineglass and then you can taste wine at all 7 vineyards and $20 for a main meal and $8 for dessert. You can hop from one vineyard to another either eating a main or desert or just tasting wine. There are bands outside playing and a whole group of people sitting under the sun eating and dancing. The atmospher is just great. I went with a friend from singapore and her 2 friends from college. After that we proceeded home where we had laksa and bah ku teh, all done by ourselves! And we ate with relish. Sunday was newcomers lunch at a elders' house. It was a great time of fe...

This was a long weekend and like many sydneysiders, i was planning a trip out to Dubbo with friends. However, there was torrential rainfall and storms in NSW this weekend too, destroying many people's plans to go out of town. It was quite scary - as we speak, the death toll is up to 9 and there are still floodings going on in parts of NSW. There was a section of highway that collapsed and sent a family of 5 down into the river and they all died. Watch this video. Someone said that this showed the wrath of God. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16471&rn=248153&cl=2957725&ch=885604 So what did i do in the end? We had hotpot at April and Kenneth's place. with a little alcohol - or a lot depending on who you were. Just the right food for the weather.
