God Is Really Testing My Patience

Oh dear....I have been waiting and waiting...

Ever been in a situation whereby you are expecting something and yet you cannot get hold of it? So near yet so far...

It really takes a lot of patience. I will just continue praying as I believe it is just a matter of time...let it be in God's hand.

Glory to you God. Amen!

My heart leaps for joy!

Dear friends,

I am so so happy since yesterday! God answered my prayer!
Ever been in a state that all you want to do is to escape? The feeling of dying to leave? Yeah, that was exactly what I was feeling for the last three months.

I continue to pray and God really send someone to help me. Finally I can have something to look forward for my future. It is time I move on.

I just want to advise for those who are in despair, do not give up but continue to trust in the Lord for God is an ever faithful God. We mat be faithless but He will remain faithful.

Thank you Lord once again! Glory to You Father! Amen!

Day 9

As days were passing by...we realized that we were about to return to Malaysia soon...We

were so reluctant...To be honest...I feel in love with Melbourne....

Anyway...we decided to fully maximize our trip for the last few days...therefore at...

10.00 am - We went to St. Kilda Beach and pier

Oh goodness....we walked for almost 2 hours before reaching the beach. We actually

boarded a wrong tram...we were walking on foot....I was tired and my legs gave

way.. Not a very nice morning to start off with....but God is good....He really made

the best out of nothing!!

If not because we boarded a wrong tram, we would not be able to enjoy the

surrounding scenery and fresh air.

Can you see the pelican??

At St. Kilda

10.45 am - We had our breakfast beside the beach. We ordered one meal and we shared.

That was really nice as we were enjoying the our food along came the sound of the waves and the

scenery of the beach ....The weather on that day was pretty hot and yet it did not stopped us

from enjoying ourself!

A cup of hot Cappucino

Dear likes this Ham & Bacon croissant...

Welcome to St. Kilda pier

Bonjour...

On the way to Luna Park

Luna Park...it was closed on weekdays

We headed back to the city.

1.30 pm - We had our lunch at McDonalds. Dear ordered Mighty Angus beef burger as suggested

by Marshal. According to him..Angus beef is a premier beef in Australia..We wouldn't wanna

miss it! On the other hand, I ordered an apple pie and ice-cream.

The meat was so juicy and tender....

2.00 pm - Ladies and gentlemen...time to hit the malls!!

I have been waiting to go to the Bourke Street. Heard that there were shops and

malls along the street! We went to Bourke Street Mall , GPO and Block Arcade.

Oh just for your information, GPO stands for General Post Office. The building used

to be a post office and they refurbished it to a mall. I hardly buy anything there as it

was pretty expensive!

Block Arcade

Bourke Street

4.00 pm - We headed back to Southern Cross Station. While waiting for Marshal to finish work,

we went for some snacks at the food court. Ok...it was BAD! The sushi tasted so

awful...We made a conclusion that Japanese food in Australia...is bot good at all!

We call it a day!

After dinner, we played with the kids...Victoria and Ethan!! Miss the two kiddos so much!!!!

Day 10

Today was our final day to tour around!! Wanna know more about our last day's itenary? Bet

9.40 am - We boarded a V line train to Sovereign Hill, Ballarat. It is located quite far from the

city. I slept the whole journey. It was a gold mining area on the 16th century. Do check out the

photos!!
