Had an early reunion dinner last friday.. with a group of my fellowship friends.. Drew, Jen, Abi, Eric, John, Cherie, Wei Xian, Susan, Sherry, Anu and Yumi.. Went marketing with Abi earlier.. bought some steamboat stuff.. headed over to drew place to prepare.. swept, mop and clean up his place.. everyone gt their task to accomplish.. Eric + John came over earlier.. bought his first home - baked apple crumbles.. tasted good.. haa.. felt it tastes alot better than what i did.. opps.. coz forgetten to remove the skins of the apples.. made a huge different.. the rest dropped in shortly.. dinner started abt 8pm.. ended with a short table tennis match.. followed by sing and praises of worship songs.. nice and enjoyable night.. can sense that everyone was singing and worshipping God together..wholeheartedly.. felt really good..
Following day.. went to Atrium Garden @ fremantle.. with drew..e.t.. n lucy...it was a international buffet.. cost abt $53/pp.. a varieties of food.. with cook on the spot pasta service.. place was awarded with "Gold award" for their food.. mmh.. *still alright*.. cant really compare the place with burswood atrium.. each have their own pros and cons..

Riverside.. Bell tower..

Today.. went for church service @ foothill church.. church theme was Fitness.. everyone was suppose to dress in their sport attire.. totally forgotten about this.. ended up.. went for service in our normal dress code.. songs was fun.. ppl were dancing around happily * as a form of work out.. enjoying themselves to the fullest.. immersed in their songs and worship.. surprisingly.. met one of my classmate @ church..so happened he actually grew up there.. and was visiting his church.. haa..small world..
Preacher was an aboriginal guy.. who was converted to a christian.. talk about how his life changes.. about their beliefs .. how God helps and guides him.. in his daily walk of life.. in order to have a closer walk with God.. our walk with God should not be like a stagnant water.. @ times.. we should live out of our comfort zones and do something different.. we can bring life and changes to ppl around us too.. be Fit and active for God.. @ places such as our sch.. neighbour.. work place.. waiting around.. catching up a short conversation..
Just a random pic taken in the bus.. this guy was wet throught.. look @ his cap.. and face.. cant believe perth is unbelievable hot.. haa..
