Man I LOVE Saturdays!

I love Saturdays, in the morning "I dont have work!" and then theres the sleep!
Man, I was just thinking all these things this particular morning when I woke up. I could smell and hear the cooking of bacon and eggs (knowing it was ravi doing his saturday morning routine). A smile came across my face as i turned on my computer and grabbed the camera. I opened Winamp the clicked play on "UB40's greatest hits" with the bass fully cranked up!
Then i opened the door and walked out to my Saturday Morning! (snapping as i went!)

with the "Bass fully cranked!"

And i was right Ravi was cooking up feast!

Then I felt the freedom to go for a STROLL cos i didnt have work!! and man its a clear fine day! wow! and it just made me think of how i am actually gonna miss some things about Perth while im away. Do I love my home? Australia? YES! but i am so thankful for such a great opportunity to travel! God is Sweet As!!!

And see my lil Getz even likes the sunshine!

And you know what else? There are these sweet as roses out the back!
I didnt even notice before! haha, spose its cos im usually always rushing off to work. See this is why i Love Saturdays!!!!

Don't You?
(for all those of u who have exams at this time and have to be studying today I recognise ur sacrifice! Just think of the time-off at home/or away thats comming, soon! keep going its gonna be worth it!!!!)

Be encouraged!

need i say more?

Reminiscent of the Amazing Land of Asia

wow
Well this should be good.

I hope you can all enjoy this and find heaps to comment about. But to tell the truth, I have been wanting to post something like this for quite some time. Yes, it is about my first and most recent trip out of Australia and i do wish to share it with all.

On Monday the 26th of November 2007, 11 Aussies departed for singapore to join with young people from Youth Impact on the mission field in NongKhai, Thailand.

They arrived, were warmly welcomed, and began to learn the names of their new "Family members"

Then there was another short flight followed by a 10 HOUR ROAD TRIP!!!!
WOOHOOOO!
We even managed to stop and eat!!!

REALLY REALLY NICE RICE!!!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Oh how i Loved NongKhai

this is the front view silhouette of the church we were based at in Nongkhai. we even had lunch here on the sunday after their service.

Gotta luv Google Maps!
click the satellite view and see if u can spot any of the places we were at from the air!?! haha!

Go the Geography skills!

This is the Gang, at the brecky table:
Luwei, Esther and Joshua (aka THE ANNIHILATOR).

Zixin, Brian, Xunxiang and Ian

This is a shot of the place were we all stayed at...

Footy skills...
Acting skills...
Happy hands club skills...
Australian accent skills...
And these, we're our group's wonderful translators

Teeth showing skills...
And this is Tom our DJ radio/translator
But then like with all amazing things, we had to begin our journey home...
Duuuude! he looks zoned out! (tired)
And then we spent a lil' bit of time with our new family in singapore. Before departing back to Oz.

Now at this point you might be thinkin,

"oh Nooo, he's Beached as broo!"

...will this epic tale continue, hmmm?
Well that was the end of that tale! And what a marvellous tale it was indeed!

Oh, and all the other images are at http://picasaweb.google.com/jonotrumpet/TheMissionsTripOf07

So dont miss out, my sources tell me bookings are closing fast so hurry up and post a comment to claim ur lil bit of time with the duo. LOL

So k, but on a more serious note, i really am amped to be going for this trip, and yes Luwei I still havent cut my hair! so u better get the camera ready. cos I'll be cutting it in singapore for sure!
