i love crapbags!

yayy nz rocked! (:
the lifestyle there's just so much more relaxing and slow-paced and stress-free I LOVE IT :D
the school there's pretty cool too. my friend enjoys going to school! haha but from what i heard it's not surprising that she does.
i ate lots of icecream in nz. almost everyday! i bet i've gained weight. while we were staying in auckland with my cousins a meal could comprise of beef, chicken, fish, pork and lamb. plus vegetables tofu rice soup and dessert. faints. i know i've gained weight. hahaha. the icecream there's really good though! ive got no regrets(: hehe
oh there was quite a big earthquake while we were at my friend's house in masterton! we felt the tremors but thankfully not the full effect of it. THANK GOD. cause we had toured the north island for 8 days before driving southward to masterton. and we reached masterton one day before the earthquake struck! 0.0 if we had arrived one day late (which we had planned to do so previously but changed our plans) we would have felt the major impacts of the earthquake!
that sounds awfully like something out of a movie but God's grace is for real(:
nz was awesome. it really opened my eyes to what david experienced when he wrote the psalms. we saw 2 lost sheep on the beach! yeah the beach. it was pretty amusing but i immediately thought of what Jesus said about Him wanting all His lost sheep found. the beach is beautiful, like this world is, but it's no place for sheep..just like how christians dont belong to this earth.
i've learnt quite a lot of other things in nz..the trip gave me a broader perspective on life and the bible. im grateful for that(:
my friend's mom invited me back to her house in nz next year after my a's. haha i want to go there to learn driving cause i wont be eligible for it in spore. they can drive there at 15 and a half! i was supposed to take lessons from my friend but due to time constraint i only got to drive the lawn mower. hahah there's lots more about nz but i shall stop my ranting here.
i hope you all had a very merry christmas! cant wait for cbg gathering on sunday!!!!

LOVE
