Missing those days in Australia

Today, I had lunch with my buddies & their children, i.e. my 2 godsons & my sweeeet god daughter...

We went to Singpost at Paya Lebar and had Long John Silver together..
Its the first time we had fast food together since they moved back from Brisbane in Australia..

I was telling Melissa it reminds me of us eating at Mcdonalds in Brisbane together....and how much I missed those happy time in Brisbane with them..living with them for ten days...experience their local life with them...waking up at 7am in the morning..preparing breakfast and sending the kids to school and then to their foodstore in the city...those were the happy times...
Sandra and I went out each day together...exploring Brisbane..and Melissa even took us and the boys by train to Goldcoast for shopping and surfer paradise..Wow..missed those wonderful times together...
Back then my god sons' school was so huge..like a forest...as they brought me around their school campus...
I remember buying and sourcing for chinese grocery in Brisbane...like beancurb which is so common in Singapore..cannot be easily found...only in Chinese store down in Chinatown in Brisbane...
And i cooked their favourite hot & Spicy soup for them..cuz they missed it..

I remember teaching and flying paper planes which I bought from Singapore in their backyard...and doing BBQ and frying beef steak with Butter for them to eat..and together with my mum's home-made chillie...yummy yum yum..

Oh those were the wondeful time...I so missed those time..
Yes like Frank...whenever I travel...I love to experience their local lifestyle..unlike others..going for shopping only...nope
I rather take my time to experience their everyday life than shopping..never like to be rush...experiencing their local life is more precious than anything else..

Time flies...5 years passed..they have moved back to Singapore and all thanks to them that I had such wonderful sketches in Brisbane...

p.s. Pic above is the pic taken with my god daughter during May's wedding last nov. I helped my god daughter to doll up like a little princess...all the youth was grabbing her to take pic...calling her Precious Moment...saying she looks like one...ya..she is a sweetie...Even Bill (when he visited our church months ago) can't help but to play with her (pretending to offer to shake her hand when she stretch out, he pulled his hand back again..he did it twice making my dear so shy...and I told Bill hey dun disturb her..and we had to assure her that Bill will definitely shake her hand this time then she finally pick up the courage to shake his hand..hee....)

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
