Besides Putt-putt, we went kayaking. Dolphin swam right under us. It was so close we could almost touch it. Awesome feeling, being so close to a wild dolphin! Priceless.

A warm message.

I've created a new blogspace, dedicated for a different purpose. I've been rather uncomfortable writing certain things here in the open, and I suppose I'll be much more open in the other one. Lesser gap in between myself and you the readers. Cheers.

Another rendezvous

Had to catch up a little bit with the housemates after a whole semester. Now that we're on winter break, we thought it'd be nice to have a steamboat dinner outdoors at our flat. And so we did, and it was the best! Dhruv's missing though. Also, a bowling session with em nearby. Ivan's got a clean sheet of five strikes. He's a monster! It's pretty much just the outing sessions that we haven't had time for during the semester that we're mending back for, now.

Shawn's coming on the 21st of next month, and I got a couple of things in my mind at the moment. Everyone's looking for a job. I did myself, a couple of resumes handed out. Pretty fussy person I'd say, not wanting too much of a low pay. Been contemplating of backpacking in the rest of the places in Western Australia. Up north to the desert. That'll be awesome!

Love overcomes everything.

I might seem a little reserved sometimes, even though towards family and my closest friends, and even to my girlfriend. I always fail to show little gestures to express love, which is what I'm trying to catch up with. But know that I love you.

I've held a lot thoughts to myself. I'll share it now.

Grassroots.

Often times I glaze at pictures and videos of a certain somewhere in the world and just like a any kid, dreaming of landing my feet there, breathing the air. Just the thought of being a stranger in a land excites me. That could be one of the biggest reasons I complain less than others do when I'm here in Australia. I just watch one of these Brazilian shows shot at Rio. What a colorful culture I must say.

The question is, is that want to be a stranger just a feeling when I'm all caught in the moment? From then on, the whole backpacking desire comes in. That long strap and strings tied around you while you venture and let your eyes be opened. Not only that, your heart comes together as well. Not only the experience is worthwhile, but the amount of openness you will achieve when you're at the peak of your game. *exhales*

A whole different story. It's quite discouraging, knowing that my average income just doing kitchen work could total up to an estimation of 3,000 dollars. Whereas, an average executive in Malaysia earns about 3-5,000 Ringgit. After the conversion of course, that sums up to 10,000. Now I'm thinking. Why would I work more, and harder when I can earn so much more else where? Then again, I shall worry not, for God provides all the time. Well, I'm actually not worried, but rather just simply questioning.

There are too many things that I want to accomplish in my life. Too many things that I desire to experience. The second half of that sentence, is those experiences and accomplishment aren't just any tomdickharry's. It has to be God-pleasing. Or at least my understanding of God-pleasing.

Moving on to another thought. I've been exposed a lot here, in the knowledge on things that are quite an issue, yet silenced. Things like, Natural Family Planning. Just the one topic, is such a big discussion. And hearing theories and thoughts from others definitely changed my mind. Plus, I think my typical quick-to-judge inner attitude's slowly in control. With a lot of practice and wisdom taught, or else it wouldn't be easy. We're all looking to move on. I drew a thousand routes by now, just waiting for a voice to command. Coincidentally, a lot of these thoughts and teachings I want to share with a particular group can't be done. Simply because they happen to not be around me. It would probably help if I start jotting down some thoughts from now on.

So many things seem unimportant in my eyes now. I'm going back to the basics. Family, friendship and just spreading the love. So many distractions, so many challenges. The world's turning upside down. God be with us.

The art of sychronizing

Here are a couple of songs I'd love to recommend. They're all from 311. P-Nut nailed everything with his bass! Definitely the coolest bassist in my eye. Their one of those who plays together, instead of over-using a member or skill. This is what a band should be like, all standing out together.

1. Champagne
2. All mixed up
3. Summer of Love
4. Paradise
5. Beautiful Disaster

Lots of thing has changed, and is coming up. I'm just hoping for the best.

Mack the Knife

So looking forward to try the trails in KL/Selangor when I get back. Be sure to give me call for you guys who're interested to ride trails. Apparently, there are a few tracks. How legible it is, I don't know. We'll have to see. I've always fantasized on having a roadbike, a trail bike and a downhill bike. It's easy to say when I'm basing it on zero budget at the moment. Those three bikes already adds up to an approximate 16,000 RM. I think that dream, can always remain as a dream and nothing close to reality.

Current Cell

My current cell here in Perth, is very blessed I'd say. Running smooth, and somehow, I know that this cell is not made up by force but God's desire. Praise God that we can fellowship here in Perth and we're all maturing in Him. This is something that I can look back and smile about, knowing that I'm not doing this alone. :) I'm certain that God has plans for our cell, just like He does for the cell I attended back at home.

Lenny, Adrian and I

Amanda you're missing in the photo, and I know that. We'll take another one when you're here k? :) Happy Gawai to you, have a good one.
