goodbye

Goodbye! :'(

prayer

Merry Christmas

hey i wish you all had a very Merry Christmas, for those in the US, i hope u're having a fantastic Christmas, hopefully a white one too :) and remember, Christmas is not all about the food, (only part of it,lol), it's all about the birth of Jesus, the gift that God gave to us -Jesus Christ, and it's all about love, because of love Jesus died on th cross for us, think about this, the King died for us - the undeserving ones.

I was cleaning my room today, and redecorating as well, i was reading my prayer diary, was reading it and just how God really answered prayers, for myself, for friends, for difficult times etc. God is just incredible!

My Xmas advice - keep a prayer diary! you'll see how God really works on you! trust me on that.

oh christmas!

people said if you just lost your loved ones recently, when it comes to christmas, u'll get extra depressed and down, what about if u lose someone during/near christmas time?

"So tell me, did you really think...
oh tell me, did you really think I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore?
When you couldn't..."

one more item...

ok, after tonite, i will put another item on my 'future husband' list

- that he doesnt know how to play computer/video games, if he does, he can't be addicted to it.

Christmas is coming but I dont really want it to come, not this year at least.

Carols in the city

So i skipped the other 16 schoolies day, well i might blog about it when i have time (what am i talking about? i got heaps of time doing nothing!)

anyway, there was carols in the city last friday at riverstage, behind QUT. oh goodness it rained the whole night (pretty much) but that was the fun part, holding umbrellas and poking into people's eye (almost) and head, or seeing ppl wearing ponchos and steaming inside, and got poncho-hair, then dripping all the rain on ppl from the umbrella, and got wet on the right but competely dry on the left. (that's because i have a very generous friend!!) that was fun. and i think the most enjoyable momemt was the green wiggle (yes we made that up, shuuuu, dont tell stu he's from south africa...haha) singing jingle bells, the aussie version, man i loved it so much!:)

Aussie Jingle Bells

Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden ute,

Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot,

Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs,

it's summer time and i am in my singlet, shorts and thongs

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut,

Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute. *Chorus*

Engine's getting hot, we dodge the kangaroos,

the swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too

all the family's here, sitting by the pool

christmas day the aussie way, by the barbeque

*Chorus*

Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze,

the kids and uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes

the time comes 'round to go, we take the family snap

pack the car and all shoot through, befofe the washing up

it wasnt a really good picture but yea, we had candles!

17/11/06 schoolies - day 1

Schoolies - day one 17/11/06

1st day of schoolies, i was all so excited and ready to go at 9 am, tim called,'hey g'day how's it goin?' 'good, u yourself? what time are u picking me up? have u packed yet?' 'um...no i havent, how about 11?' 'oh yea that would do, hopefully u'll have enough time to pack, it took me a whole nite last nite' 'oh well i'll try my best'.

at 11, the phone rang, oh noooo 'where are u?' 'ummmm' 'dont tell me u just left the house...' 'um, no....i'm still at the house, i just finished packing...' 'then hurry up!'

1 pm, the time when we were supposed to be at church, tim showed up at the door finally...

so we were 2 hours late...it's so not me! once we got to the church, everyone was there already, and all settled down, i was like ,'ahhh, what am i doing?' kerri came up and asked me if i had any ideas of a good team building game...i had no idea, i didnt even know where i exactly was...oh well

so there you go, our team building game - if you haven't, not sure what u'll call it, but something like that. oh actually the 1st pic was lining up according to our age, u can see i was at the back of the line, near Norm. :)

this is 'if you haven't...', i remember i lost due to my shortness, thanks to Angus! :p

one of the 2 days that we were not having salad rolls for lunch! yay for pizzas!!!

dont even ask me what they were doing, probably too excited about schoolies, come on it was the 1st day!

we got our t-shirt, it's a different shade of yellow this year, and it says 'there's always hope' on the back instead of 'missing peace', which i personally think it's way better than previous years', and i'll so wear that to uni, i think :)

Pete and Brad were all overjoyed after receiving their T-shirt
