i'm now almost 6 weeks into uni, and it's been quite a struggle adjusting to the new life and new curriculum and LESS sleep. :( and since term break's only a week away, all the assignments are due and the tests are coming up, so it's been crazy and hectic. so many things to do!
still it's been such fun and joy meeting up with my fairfield friends. and i totally enjoy every single minute of it! :) really thankful that we can still meet up even in the midst of all our busy schedules.
cheryl's birthday :)
catching up with sam, whom i havent seen for months, almost 6 months i think!
and having 'farewell' dinner for enping, at sakae on thurs, as he goes to shanghai for 6 months. thursday was so fun! eating so much food especially bc the guys over ordered, and just hanging out and watching a movie together at my place! it's been such a long time since we've done that! we'll miss you enping!
and i've been switching off half during lectures and forgetting important things as my mind's been really preoccupied with school work and how i'm gonna finish it and also with youth camp stuff. heh!
still life is beautiful with Jesus! :)

i'm back or have been back for almost a week. and i'm really glad to be back. i've been away for too long. miss my friends and there's so much to orientate to. especially my cell kids. my have they grown and mature!
totally melting in super hot and humid singapore. so i really cant wait to go to australia cause it's winter there and it'll be much cooler. and i'm so excited to go for the hillsong conference. it's like a dream come true! :)
i'm still suffering the effects of jet lag. and world cup isnt helping either. :S but it doesnt matter, world cup is once in 4 years. rooting for brazil and spain! :)
anyway i got the chance to meet up with phi, dan and enping last saturday. and we celebrated his birthday. :) i really enjoyed their company! missed it really!
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 : alaskan cruise and whistler :
we went on a 8 days and 7 nights alaskan cruise. :) it was really cool. there was a lot of food! and for the night dinner, it was a four-course dinner. with tons of cutlery in front of you and waiters serving you! :) heh. nice experience. the ship did get rocky at times when the sea was rough and i did get seasick twice. but other than that, thank God for the calm seas! :) we went to 3 alaskan towns: icy strait point, juneau and ketchikan. and cruised by hubbard glacier.
bald eagle
hubbard glacier! it was so huge and beautiful! the ice was so thick and blue! this glacier is still growing and it's very big alr some 16 miles long or wide.
and i saw a seal! so cute! it looked really small from the top deck of the cruise.
at juneau, we took a HELICOPTER up to the herbert glacier and got to walk on it! :) super ultra awesome! never sat a helicopter before, it's really noisy but the ride was very smooth! and the view was fantastic! you just really stand in awe of GOd's creation! it's so amazing !:)
up, up and away!
the blue clear sea! :)
medenhall glacier.
herbert glacier
we were given special slip on boots so we could walk on the glacier! :)
and the water is so blue! :)
and we drank the glacier water! :) very refreshing!
ketchikan
our super nice and friendly waiters, carmelo and charles. :)
we decided to go back to whistler to sit the peak to peak gondola, since we missed it the other time we were there because of bad weather.
we dropped by stanley park on the way, to eat the super yummy maple walnut ice-cream that i mentioned earlier! and i remember to take photo this time! there's walnut in every bite you take, and the walnut is so nice and fresh! :)
it was still cloudy at whistler, but the weather was much better and we could see the mountains and snow. there's still so much snow, high up in the mountains. :)
after that, we went to eat sashimi! :) it's so fresh and thick here in vancouver! the quality is like super good! so yummy! :) starting from top, clockwise: salmon belly (it's smoother than the normal salmon sashimi), sockeye salmon and farm salmon (similar to the kind of salmon we get at home).
i'll miss the food here!
anyway i got the chance to meet up with phi, dan and enping last saturday. and we celebrated his birthday. :) i really enjoyed their company! missed it really!
