Adjectives

Heaven is a Wonderful place
Filled with glory and grace
I want to see my Saviour face
Heaven is a Wonderful place

The above is a song that we sung at HopeKids Live today. The underlined word was an adjective that's used to describe Heaven and Teacher Soo Feng asked the kids to come up with all sorts of adjectives. Check out some of the answers!

Marvellous, Fabulous, Nice, Lovely, Gracious, Beautiful, Fantastic, Excellent, Magnificent, Good, Amazing, and the list goes on...

I can't stop clapping because at the way the list goes on, it astonishes me more than anything! I don't remember my knowledge of vocabulary being so vast when I was 10years old.

Well, today's theme is based on Heaven and the place was decorated with rainbow and clouds made with balloons. (Too bad I do not have photos on it) After the little children describe Heaven, I asked myself - What is heaven to me? Personally, the thought of heaven makes me wanna cry because it's such a wonderful place. A place that is beyond any words that can describe, a place that is for eternal.

The bible says in Ps 84:10 "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere..." I can't imagine sitting beside Heavenly Papa enjoying. A kiddo asked me today - If there's so many in heaven, how to have all to sit beside God? I was stunned yes. But in the best I could answer was that "God is omnipresent."

After HopeKids, went for the 2nd service and then I joined the WAM group for lunch. After which, my friend and I went to Sim Lim to get a few gadgets then came home. I had a chat with my friend and I said "Lately, I really really REALLY miss Brisbane and Tasmania alot. It's like I am seeing Brisbane very often." My friend said "Man.. You badly need a break." "But I just went to Hong Kong!", I replied. Then I realised that my type of holiday is not the shopping kind of holiday. I need the nature! I miss my room, the CityCat (ferry) that I always take to get home and I miss my house in Brisbane. I think I am suffering from "overmissing" something. Man! I thought my transition from Brisbane to Singapore has been settled? Hahahahaha!!!


My room. This is during winter season with a heater by my bed. I love photo frames and that explains the whole stretch of photo frames on my window sill. This is my "favouritist" room in all my 4 semesters. Many count sheeps to sleep. I count stars! Perfect view of the galaxy. (See my elmo peeking out?)



My home is ALWAYS open for food. Guess what I did? I brought over my steamboat! Heee... Those were the days when coming together to eat is so easy. As students, time is always there. As workers, time is always never enough! Now, we meet only during each other's weddings.



Nah... This is CityCat. When I first moved to Brisbane, I was SO excited that I am travelling to school via a ferry! 过河上课!! My friends and I will always choose to stand at the bow of the ferry in the evening and feel the wind against our very dry skin. Haha!! Then during summer, I will just slack at the stern watching the trail the ferry left behind.

Hmm.. Am looking forward for my slack holiday after church camp. It better have NOTHING to do with shopping.
