Trip Down Under Part IV
9th March 2008
Finally, we reached the Acer Arena...... We all entered the doors and went straight up the gate of the arena. We managed to get seats at the second level.... quite a good view to the stage. It was 1700hrs local time (1400hrs SIN), the recording officially started. Joel Houston, one of the main worship pastors from the worship and Arts, started of telling us about this recording. It is about praising God and let the world know it greatness..... let’s us put our worship to Him tonight. It was really good, the atmosphere was great, I really felt the Holy Spirit was around us. I felt the power around the whole arena. There were a lot of new worship leaders this year and I think our church has indeed went into the next level of worship. I took a few photos from the event. You all could enjoy it.
After the recording, Marvin and Wenqi brought me to Statfield to have Korean BBQ. It was really nice especially during Autumn. We cooked our own food at the stove in front of us. I am very full...hehe!
After that, I went back to my friend’s place….. this is the end of my 3rd day here…

My Trip Down-under Part III
9th March 2008 (Saturday)
Dear all,
Sorry that I have to continue with my journey down under again.
I woke up around 0700hrs local time (0300hrs SIN) and got ready to take a bus to Central to catch the church bus to Hillsong Church. I told a bus down to Chinatown to get breakfast. I went to my favourite cake shop, St Helen to get my bread. After that, I walked slowly to Central Station to take the bus. I hopped on the bus and off I go.
Finally I reached Hillsong Church, my parent church...... I cannot forget my four years in this church, really miss the praise and worship to our beloved God. I met Marvin and Wenqi..... and we went in for service. I was overwhelmed with the service and also a guest speaker that spoke about what God wants us to do. They were Praise, Purpose, Provision, Pardon and Protection.
The service ended with a praise song. I went out of the hall and out to the car park. I waited for Pris, my CG leader in Sydney to pass me the ticket for tonight’s Hillsong Album Recording at the Acer Arena.
After that, I caught up with my other church friends. It was really wonderful.
I went out of church with Marvin and Wenqi for lunch at Kensington. We went to our favourite Indonesia Restaurant to eat. I like the BBQ Chicken and rice.....so nice and chilli is spicy. After lunch, both Marvin and Wenqi drove me to the city to take a walk before I met them at 1600hrs local time (1300hrs SIN) to go to the recording.
I went to the city to take a walk... I went over to Krispy Kreme the famous donut shop that is originated from the States. It actually moved out of its old premise to a new one next to Wynyard Station. The taste was memorable. I think the donuts here really cannot match those in Singapore. It was about time, so I rush back to St Michael College to meet the guys!
Here we go.... to recording.... Marvin drove us to the Acer Arena at Olympic Park.
To be continued......

My Trip Down-under Part II
8th March 2008 (Saturday)
Finally I reached Sydney Kingsford International Airport at around 1105hrs local time (0805hrs SIN). At the arrival hall, I went through the customs with a slight problem, the officer was asking me why I did not put the full address of where I am staying..... delayed a bit but luckily I was able to go through. Really thankful to God. I went to get my bag with both Eugene and Yong Sheng at the luggage area. After that we got our bags we went out of the airport. I bid goodbye to them and I headed down to Aldrich’s place at Alexandria by cab.
Finally I reached his place.... so long never see this good friend of mine..... We went for lunch at Newtown and have a good chat at a Thai restaurant. After that we slowly walked back and chat about how life was when we are staying together as housemates.
I stayed at his place the whole day without going out. We settled dinner at home. I cooked Japanese Curry and a bunch of vegetable. Aldrich cooked the rice and also green tea with lime.... really very nice.... After that, we went back into his room to do our individual stuffs. He was playing games and I was marking my test papers. To be frank, this was the most relaxing time I have marking, without any disturbance. Along the way, we also chatted with each other..... That’s the end of my day.....
Tomorrow is a brand new day as I went back to Hillsong Church after 1 and a half year.

My Trip Down-under Part I
7th March 2007 (Friday)
Today is the starting of my journey back to Sydney, Australia since I left one and a half years ago. It is really exciting and also a walk down memory line. I reached Changi Airport T3 at around 10pm. Went in to the check-in counter 4 of the Singapore Airlines counter and check in my bag. After that, I went for a drink with my youngest brother and his girlfriend. It was roughly about 11.20pm and I need to start boarding the plane bound for Sydney. I went through the departure gate and through the automated custom machine and I am off to my gate. There are really lots of people lining up to get on the plane. Finally it was my turn to go across the security door. I slowly walked over to the plane. At 12.20am on the 8th March 2008, the plane departed T3. Bye Bye Singapore.
On the plane, I managed to meet up with two Singapore guys studying in UNSW. So cool to have talked to them. They are Eugene and Yong Sheng. After eating the snack, I was fast asleep along the way. Zzzzzzz!! I only woke up 3hrs upon arrival in Sydney. I have breakfast and then watch a few movies on Krisworld.
