It has been a long time since i have post something up. Have been really busy for the past one week plus and i haven got time to rest.
Where should i start?

After my last paper, I too a 12 hours bus ride from Sydney to Melbourne. Gee couldn't sleep a wink at all although the seats were comfortable. By the time i reached melbourne in the wee hours, I was greeted by a friendly black dude-the taxi driver and that is probably the only non-asian i have seen around! (Exaggeration) Instead of having a rest to get over my PES (post exam syndrome), we drove down to the grampians. Stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. It was so awesome looking at the mountains and the apostles (one of which collapsed after we viewed it), I really wonder how can anyone ever doubt the existence of a GOD. It is too unbelievable to attribute it to simply an atom alone for that matter. Science is just a study on what has been already created. Why is it that for some pple, they choose to believe something even harder to believe like the superstar rather than something easier to understand like GOD? Melbourne was cold and nice.
Straight after melbourne, I went home for 30 minutes before rushing out of the house to attend Annual Retreat (camp by OCF) at the Meroo Christian Centre. The study on the book of Jeremiah was really good and Andrew Shead was really knowledgeable and patient in explain the book to us. Especially when Jeremiah is a very tricky book as some of us would say when we can't get certain facts right during the discussion time. A fun time of fellowhip, we had! Nevertheless, OCFers always do something stupid, we had a performance night and it was hilarious!
After the camp, i went back home for 1.5 hours and rushed out for Sam's birthday dinner...and MAHJONG night. I love playing mahjong in the wee hours cos then you can see pple's high side coming out. Basically i stayed with the OCFers again for the entire day and the next day we all decided to weat lunch and watch inital D and then dinner. We can't get enough of each other, can we?
I got my results! 3 known and 1 unknown, thanks tricia for viewing for me. Me of little faith, maybe cos i have too high expectations of myself. To the Topic of Holy Spirit. Why are some pple more Holy Spiritual than others? Am i wrong to be not so Holy Spiritual? Or is that just an excuse for someone to be lazy in reading their bible? What exactly does it mean to be lead by the spirit? I really wonder what does it mean to live by the spirit in Gal5:25. What is Chrisitanity all about? How is it possible to emphasise so much on the Holy Spirit and neglecting the word of God, how then would we know what is the truth and what we are to live by without the word of GOD. In Gal5:25 for example, living by the spirit doesn't mean Oh what should i do at this point in my life? Alas the Holy Spirit speaks to me and he said i should be a lawyer? But is that truly the Holy Spirit speaking to us or is that just justifying our evill desires with the leading of the Holy Spirit. (Notice that the Holy Spirit never calls someone to be a roadsweeper or some lowly paid Jobs, it is always the prestigous ones, WHY?) I think it is very clear in the Bible, that Living by the spirit is having love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. It is also clear in GAl 5:16 that "so a say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature." Ultimately, it is very important to know the truth by reading the bible and have knowledge of the bible and allowing the Holy Spirit to convert the head knowledge to conviction.
