Praise God for His provision so far! This is such a long story but nevertheless, I will share it with you. The day that I left Singapore was one of the hardest time of my life. To describe it in words will just do the "feeling" injustice. . My senses started to get emotional even at the sight of my void-deck. I'm just the simple sentimental guy that you can tell through my handkerchief. As I waited for the cab with my parents, my eyes begin to welled up with tears. Tears which I know I couldn't hold back any longer.
During dinner at the airport, I had a totally lost of appetite. I just sat at the bench and begin to cry uncontrollably. My dad and mum were comforting me yet in their heart I know they are feeling the same. Quite a number of love ones, youth & adults from church, secondary friend and cmpb friends came to sent me off. I will like to take this opportunity for their presences and gifts. They really mean alot to me. It was hard to enter the custom gate that very moment. It is not because of any illegal stuff that I am carrying but rather the feeling of leaving Singapore. I knew it is going to be a long time before I get to see them again. Thank God for my aunt and sister who were travelling with me. They really brighten up my spirit and helped me to hold back my tears.
Tasmania's weather is crazy and the elementals were all screwed up. It is suppose to enter into Autumn and the weather is suppose to get cooler. But these few days were extremely hot and unbearable. I took with me all my long sleeve shirts and only brought along 1 short sleeve one. God help me! Nevertheless, this did not stop us from exploring all the various places of Launceston. My Aunt, sis and I went shopping for homewares almost every single day. We wanted to go to the strawberry farm but none of were ready to drive. My aunt did not bring her licence, my sis does not have the confidence to drive and I do not hold a licence. So we were stuck in town. But thank God for Cataract Gorge which was walking distance from our hotel.. It simply amazing to know how such a huge and beautiful natural reserve actually exist beside the city. My aunt and sis left Singapore on Sat morning. I went to Jun Ming's place and we have our international reunion dinner in the evening. I helped to cook mashed potatoes and French Omelete with sausages. There were students from Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and China. On sunday morning, Jun Ming brought Yoke Chye, Edwim and me to a garage sale. I got myself a box fan with $5. Haha. It is really dusty but really worth it, especially in this hot weather. I thank God for His blessings! So far till then. Tata.
