visit from my bf..

wow.. time really flies.. it's been almost a month since i last blogged.. sorry guys.. :)
so, my boyfriend Leo came for a short visit.. he was here for 6 days.. and he just left today.. it had to be a short trip cos we're both having exams soon.. anyways, so we didn't really do much sight-seeing or anything like that.. we spent our time in the library, shopping and eating.. oh my goodness, you won't believe how much we ate.. we just ate and ate and ate... we had japanese - sushi, italian, dim sim twice, chinese, korean and western food too.. but it was all good.. haha..

then, we went hiking with my hostel manager and my hostel mates.. it was so so awesome.. i met this girl, Lauren, who is from Kentucky, America.. she just finished a training course at YWAM.. what a small world! she told me she just finished a course at youth with a mission, and she wasn't sure if i had heard of it before.. and i was like "YWAM!!!!" and she was like "yeah!! are you a believer?" haha.. it was so funny.. and for the rest of the walk we just shared our experiences.. and i shared with her about the mission trip i went on to Chiang Mai in 2001.. God is just so so good!!
and we saw a wild Kuala.. it was at the base of a tree.. it was so close to us.. we had to be really careful we didn't make it feel boxed in, otherwise it might have attacked us.. but it was cute.. hehe..
yesterday i got a pair of expensive groovy sunnies.. hehe.. Leo bought them for me.. thank you darling.. they're funky and i like them heaps.. hehe.. yup.. so he left today.. feels odd not having him here.. but then again time really flies.. i'm going to sydney at the end of nov, after my finals, to get a scuba-diving license, so i'll see him then.. oh wellys.. will blog again soon.. 6 weeks till finals.. Lord please help me!! take care folks.. hugs and kisses..

at the Italian restaurant..

more spectacular scenery

Leo at 'Alfonso's'.. we had breakfast there on sunday morning.. way too much to eat!

my new sunnies, a gift from Leo.. hehe..

saying goodbye at the airport

to end of with a quote.. this is something that Lauren said to me which really impacted me.. she said it when we were trying to take in the beautiful scenery.. i'll never forget those few words she said.. they are simple words, but they left a lasting impression on me.. she said, "how can someone look at all this and not believe in God?"
