Australian Day ... very memorable

Spent the whole day with some friends today. In the morning, I went to clovelly beach doing snorkeling (do i spell this right?) .. Well, that was the first swimming in years I think ... I haven't swam for ages, getting tired easily, especially in the sea. But overall it was a lot of fun ... I feel like doing it more .. :) ...

We then rushed to Ratu sari for lunch .. I reckon the food was pretty ordinary ... maybe because we didn't order the best that they have to offer .. hehehe .. Deb, if you are reading, what exactly did you order?? I need to know for future reference .. We ordered ayam mentega, cumi kapitan, chap jay goreng ama ikan goreng ratu sari tuh ...

We went straight to Juliana's place afterwards because Jule did not feel well today. She actually went home first ahead of us during our time in the beach. We wanted to see how she was going and finish swimming early ... We were a bit worried when we heard what happened to her .. She turned out to be alright, thank God. After that, we decided to go to Max Brener in the afternoon .. I ordered the waffle and WOWWWWW ..... It was the best waffle I've ever had ... EXCELLENTE .. IMPRESSIVE ... really really nice ... I want to go there again if I have a chance .. :)

From Max Brener, we planned to head home but somehow ended up at Juliana's place until late at night. It was really strange, but God is behind everything I guess :) .. At her place, we did a lot of sharing through truth and nothing but the truth game (the modified version of truth or dare game .. heheheh). It wasn't planned at all. Most of the questions are about Boy/Girl relationships and surprise surprise, there are a lot of openness in the conversation. We were honest with one another, sharing our good and bad experiences in relationships, sharing our lives basically. There were times where we can feel someone's sadness, but there were also many times of joy. It was so interesting. We closed the sharing with one statement that, each individual has his/her own strengths and weaknesses, but it will be wrong to base our confidence in those things especially in a relationship. Our confidence should be in Jesus who has saved us from our sins, redeemed us from this evil world. That is where our confidence lies ... In a relationship, the most important thing is both parties love God and are willing to be shaped, mould by God Himself so that both can grow and encourage one another in the Lord since our lives is not about us but about HIM. That is also the case with our relationships. We then headed to KFC Maroubra for dinner at about 10PM and said good bye to one another.

Well, that was pretty much my day ... What a day!! Definitely a memorable one !!
