Almost Home

We are almost at the end of our trip ... tghis trip was truly relaxing and tiring in a way... cause we had to take bus and travel alot.... but yet its was relaxing because we did everything at our own pace. Which was good.

We manage to go to the 3 theme parks along the way and visited some nice places.... disney land and sea as well as universal studio.

We are currently in the internet cafe.... trying to figure our way to the other hotel. I can only say its not very near, so hopefully we get there in time.

Time to go for our one last shopping trip.

Shopping in Osaka

Look at it...

Hope you enjoy looking at the menu we ourselves have to struggle with....

The reason I live

Devotion

As i look back at my Christian walk, i've come to reflect on the way i have lived my life. And as I ponder on the future that lies ahead, I begin to see how important a personal relationship with God is. When all is said and done, what is truly the question God would ask of me ?

Job 1: 8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."

Listening to Ps Greg Laurie, on the greatest stories every told.. and as he ran through the sermons of the lifes of all the people in the bible, It really opened my eyes to the reality of the importance of a relationship with Christ.

How true it is to have a constant walk with God .... so that when testing comes you can stand strong.

Amen

Interesting week

Today is friday morning, been so busy the whole week with work. That i have no time for anything else. Yesterday I cook hookien noodle which i made for my wife and myself, I let my colleague try and she said it was nice.

Everyone been asking me to open restaurant but am not too sure. Cooking sure is my passion. I really enjoy the art in making simple taste awesome. Sometimes i watch the cooking show i think to myself ... maybe i can be the next " asian jamie oliver'' ... of course i would be more good looking.

My friend Kris told me i would mention about the car in my blog.. and well i thought i should... yesterday... i found out that another dealership was having a special on the honda Euro Tourer which i bought... I was so sad... cause i paid about $1000 more than what was currently offered.
And sure enough.. i was so sad i even dream about it the whole night... and woke up at 3.00am.. which is why i am writing my blog... but... then i think about it ..i actually went to the dealership at Honda North and offered the price i offered at Burswood Honda but they rejected the amount of $40K, so i suppose its not so bad when i think of it.

Cause there is always specials and there will be places which will sell cheaper because of specials but since i am not God, it is impossible to predict where and when the special begins or start. So my consolation is that I offered $40K at Honda north earlier last week but they only had special yesterday.

In any case, my wife is discussing to change Car too... cause the holden is not very good... her choice is as follows

Beetle Turbo -saw one second hand ... selling in the dealership

Integra - i won't mind this ...my wife also say ok but the problem is finding one which is black

Civiv -Not too bad... she dont mind as well.

Of course i would not have mind if she gets the XR5 turbo... Ford focus.. this car had good review and know one selling for $35,000

Mmmmmm.... this next few days will be exciting... to find the next car AT A CHEAPER PRICE>> >>> for sure this time. hahaha..

Next time we should pray and seek God

The rush of life

Time really flies.... especially when you are busy.... its hard to believe that its over the hump week... and we are now going down the hump. ( Hump week is WED.. in aussie term... it means the middle of the week.. just in case someone is wondering)

Went to look for car again this time for my wife... hahaha... she is facing the same problem as me ... choices.... so i taught her the principle i learned about the choices of life... set your mind on one car... and one car only... so your search would be easy.

Life is always like that people who are truly focused often would get things done faster, better than most people. When u dont have a focus you really struggle to know your direction in life. But for most even though there is a focus in their life... sometimes we don't really want to do it
Maybe we are afraid or maybe we are lazy.

Anyway, the bible taught us that as Ye sow so shall Ye reap...

Amen

The Friends that are in my life

Yesterday Vic came over to help fix the pool fence. Council said the fence was too low so had to move the fence up to 1.5M. Sometimes its good to have friends who are handyman, who is mr fix-it-all. If left to me i think i would not have the time to do the fence at all. Well I sort of bribed him with KFC so i suppose that is one incentive.

My housemate however is another type of friend...... one of them Kris enjoys reading Comics and doing a little housework... his life seems so relax even though he is as old as me.... Some say he looks much older.. i cant deny though.... I suppose he is like muse... he keeps me sane when i need to release some pressure off my life... You can say he is like a punching bag ... he is the the type of friend that makes life abit more interesting

My other housemate however is like a cat...people call him Alan... and he behaves abit like a cat... if you think how a cat behaves that is abit like him.... prim and proper.. but after having join the student group... i think is starting to have a detrimental effect on his behaviour... hahah... well u could say being around kids more often... makes him like a young old man....
Good thing is he helps out with the bills for the house

A person needs only a couple of good friend to make a difference in life.

The results are turning

Finally after weeks of frustration... it seems Manchester United is starting to show signs of revival... though a little slower than what i would have liked. With the imminent return of Ronaldo and also with Saha.. i believe we would have the result we are looking for.

Isn't it weird that although on paper, we seem to have the strongest team, in reality its not always the strongest team that wins the game..... but the team that plays well together.

This is so true in practical real life.... too.... its not important how talented a team of people is in your group but the hearts of the people who are willing to do their part for the sake of the team...
we need team players not star players.

Be a team player... not a star player.
