Apologies
I must apologise to all of you avid readers who are wondering what in the world happened to me since I got to brissie.. hehehe.. well I didn't forget any of you!! in fact, I'm still popping by to read the blogs everynow and then if i'm in school cos they got LAN there.. I'm still surviving on the uni provided 56k connection until my broadband is up at the end of the month!!! so long man!!! bueh tahan liao!!
anyways what have I been up to?? well I'm mostly getting involved with a lot of church activities at Brisbane City Church... they've got a lot of meetings throughout the week man!!! But it's been really cool and happening, so I'm enjoying myself.. perhaps a little too much!! my money is depleting at a very rapid rate.. hahaha... i need to not eat out so much man... dunno how I'm gonna survive the rest of my time here, but by faith God will provide!! =)
I'm just pretty buggered with my car (wah slang liao.. buggered!!), cos its been giving me problems... still at the mechanic's getting sorted out... its already cost me close to $4k liao... oh well.. lesson learnt.. and its investment.. probably gonna sell it about $3k hopefully in future to dampen my losses...
anyways, church has been really awesome!!! things are picking up and happening man!! the whole atmosphere is just really beyond words, and so many things to look forward to... just to let you know what my church commitments are like at the moment... Tuesdays: Cre8tive (that's their creative ministries) Meeting and Rehearsals, Wednesdays: Church Training / Lifegroup (or cell group), Fridays: XLR8 (young adults service for 18 up), Saturdays: Internationals church, Sundays services morning and evening... why go evening?? cos its more for the youths! so its more happening in the evenings.. hehehe...
yeah so that's my church activities alone!! how i'm gonna cope? only God knows, but since He put me here, I'm just gonna step out and see His will be done man!!
The Passion of The Christ
just one thing i want to share with you before I signoff, and its about the upcoming movie (for those in sg) The Passion of The Christ. It was released here in Australia on the 27th of Feb, and I went to catch it on the 28th Sat... I must tell this to all of you...
PLEASE GET YOUR FRIENDS TO WATCH THIS!!!! It's really an AWESOME movie about the last 12 hours of Jesus' human life... when I watched it I was just blown away... the pain and anguish that He went through, it just stirred things in me and I was awestruck at God's love... warning: its a bloody show.. but don't judge it because of that, because Calvary was bloody.. and Jesus was a bloody mess.. He was mutilated more than any other prisoner.... its nothing like the Jesus film (for those of you who've seen it), but it really speaks a wondrous message.. even though I know its R(A) in SG, but pls get your friends who can to see it... should be releasing in SG in april if i'm not misinformed, again I say
PLS BRING YOUR FRIENDS TO WATCH THIS!! GO BEYOND the interpretations, GO BEYOND the cinematography, and SEE THE MESSAGE, the MESSIAH, the CHRIST...
ok this is a long post.. i'll sign off here... =) i'll update again soon hopefully... cos the 56k dialup is just killing me... hehehe... G'day mates!!!
