leenusg — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 22:22:26 +0000

not in any particular order, just whatever that comes to mind

dry weather, cooler climate
good cantonese restaurant cuisine for a cheaper price
bigger boobies, think the ladies here drink more milk and eat more meat/beef.
freedom from parents
supposed “freedom” from nagging
torrent downloading that is unmonitored
wonderful desserts served in cafes, restaurants
larger food portions
unlimited rice served in restaurants
long walks from point A to point B without sweating
anglicised people
cleaner toilets <– super miss
huge amounts of japanese, korean, and other pretty people, sydney is way more multicultural than singapore
st barnabas church and people within
friends and ocf
moving into a new place (almost) every year
a more polite society
travel ten, the ezlink card is just too pedantic..
grilled chicken caesar salad!!
huge variety of western style spices for cooking
two of my church homegroups
trees during autumn

i was at bi-lo last night, queueing to buy the optus rechange because they are having that 20% discount.. and the asian cashier was so grumpy looking, and curt to the customers in front of me. but when it came to my turn, she broke out a little smile and we had a little small talk.. how nice =)

looking for a church

leenusg — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:38:42 +0000

i guess this isn’t news anymore but i am going back to singapore for good.. and i am looking for a new church.. any recommendations? here’s an incomplete list of “requirements” that would make me happy..

word-based bible church
similar age group as me.. trust me, i’ve been to st andrews sydney, and everyone’s so old! hard to fellowship..
english speaking crowd.. i’m forsaking my chinese heritage, almost all of it..
east side of singapore if possible.. if i wanna contribute as much as possible, it shouldn’t be too hard to travel to..
not forgetting LOVING church.. the theme of God is love, not riches..

how i describe my relationship with God

leenusg — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:54:38 +0000

When the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can’t go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me love

being a non-christian

leenusg — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:11:19 +0000

sometimes it’s so saddening to be a non-christian.. there’s absolutely no one else to turn to, except yourself, how horrifying is that?

striking oz lotto

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley

i think her latest image doesn’t suit her very well..

tiger woods

leenusg — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:59:03 +0000

i am quite impressed with tiger woods. it’s really important to have good work ethics, probably something you can’t learn overnight nor in australia.. hahahahah joking, joking..

weird nightmare

leenusg — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:37:28 +0000

i had the weirdest dream last night. it was a rather long story, so i shall cut short to the nightmare part. i dreamt that i was a DHL package handler. the setting was in singapore, i think.. no offence to the people who actually are DHL employees, but i’m definitely not built to be one..

balmain + rozelle..

leenusg — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 08:43:33 +0000

Balmain Courthouse. I think that the omnia camera is really good for outdoor, “lots of light” shots.. This is a good example, i suppose, of how good it is, which also isn’t that great actually..

This is my brekkie dish, Kazbah Omelette with Turkish Toast. There’s red peppers, chopped long bean, fetta, and a tiny bit of real crab meat. It’s not bad at all, but it tastes like roti telur if you eat it with the turkish toast.

Mayne’s lamb breakfast tagine. not bad really, but not my thing as i dislike runny eggs. if they had it “over medium”, then it would be so much better..

Gene’s fried egg omelette with chorizo, tomato, shallots, parsley, chermoula sauce and lebanese bread. i counted at least 4 eggs! super sinful la…

This was taken at the end of darling road.. very nice views..

omnia’s really lousy panoramic shot.. it only shoots in very low resolutions..

fave spicy soup?

leenusg — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 04:27:03 +0000

just because it’s autumn/winter now, what’s your favorite soup at this time of the year?
