Yesterday I spent my most enjoyable day with the fellowship groups from St.Andrew's & Toowong Baptist church having lunch at the Singapura Restaurant. It was a nice surprise.
Thanks Anthony for buying me an easel three weeks before, Ruby and Oliver for organising lunch, the cake & the gift. Thanks Kathy, Julie & Mari for joining us. We had two big tables with delicious food like Nasi Lamak. Hainanese chicken , Laksa...........Yum!! :-)
After lunch, we attended a church seminar held by a guest speaker Pastor So. The topic was on family & marriage counselling. Pastor So is a very experienced counsellor who currently resides and works in Canada. He delivered a dynamic & down to earth talk, illustrated a precise picture of current problems in marriage and families. His serious humour & pin-pointed sermon added a special flavour to the talk. I was enlightened by his suggestions that our value on marriage is strongly influenced by postmodernisim. It's a totally different value to what God wants us to be and how we should live. I was reminded of the kind of world we are living in & how satan from time to time look for chances to attack us. I was wondering as we are opened to different cultures, new experiences and information, it increases the chance that we get distracted and confused. We need to pray to God that the Holy spirit & His words would always protect us from confusion, keep our hearts & mind clear. He is Good , prayers is the only way to keep us from straying.
Thank you very much, I was blessed on this birthday.

The Movie World Adventure
Last week end, Anthony and I went to Movie World. Movies World is well known as " Hollywood of the Goldcoast"
It was a free admission that Anthony's company, Energex offered to his staff as part of the employees's benefit, and I think it would be a must go place for families and kids. The park was specially arranged to open after the normal hours for Energex, i.e. nearly the evening period.
The Movie World is located near Goldcoast which is about 70km from Brisbane. It just takes 4omins car ride there. The day we took a large, delux coach with seats that were nicely cushioned and woven with top quality Australian velvet and wool. We thanked Energex that we were treated as the first class passenger. :-)
We estimated there were a total of 4 to 5 large coaches prepared for the Energex staffs in down town, which was perhaps having a hundred staff member plus their families. Anthony and I were very excited about the visit though there was a late shower before the entry.
Guess what was the first attaction in the park? The......Parade, I didn't know the name of this character, perhaps it's true that I have been too long living in a boring adult world. From my childhood memories, I mostly remmember the characters are Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman & Spiderman or Micky and Bunny. Who are the Scooby-Doo & Looney Tunes? My updates learnt character now is Shrek, the Ginger Breadman friend & the Pinocchio. These characters have meaningful stories that at times had made us laugh & cry. I realised that we we can be innocent while watching & responding to the familiar character just simply call out their name.
Our first adventure is, Superman Escape. It was a super experience. We experienced the 4G positive and 1G negative force as told by the preivew. The human tolerance for gravity is 7G and that for a trained astronaut. It was graded the top ride and I personallly felt that it was 3 times more excited than HK Ocean Park and the Disney in Paris . ( I still haven't experienced the origin US ) We were a bit dizzy after the ride.
There's another high-light game, the Batwing Space Shot. We may call it "High rise jump" The second graded excitement. The game players sit with loose feet against the powerful engine and which bump them to sky high and decend back. We wanted to try but we quit just when we reached the front of the queue. You know why? I was physically not good enough to take the excitement, particularly after the Scooby-Doo ride, the Batman Adventure and dinner. I was a bit too exhausted by the shaking & pulling. Forgive me for turning coward, but I didn't want to risk my health. I am sure I would try next year.
By nine o'clock, we had our last adventure which was Shrek 4D Adventure. The story was about a kind-hearted green ogre. An actor, played the King' s torturer and gave us the introductory session that really make us laugh. I dare say he deserved an Oscar. The whole show was enjoyable. Just sat there and experienced sensations to our four senses. The sensation to my body was like massage.:-)
Well, please take a look on the photos, share the fun with you. Can you recognise those characters?
