Well well,
dear avid fans of joninaussieland, jons back to blog! yes yes, i know... its been sooooo looonnggg... soooo looonnnng that it might have seem that jon has abandoned the writing/updating of his blog AGAIN.and yes, i stress the word AGAIN, because if you have been a reader of all the blogs jon has.. then, you would have realized that jon has a very bad habit of losing his inspiration/hope/patience in updating due to work.. (haa, there i go again, blaming it on work!)
so to those who have been expecting an update or sort, whether you're from singapore or from Perth or for that matter, anywhere around this ball of green, brown and blue.. REJOICE! Rejoice for jons back with more updates and rejoice cos i've decided to at least do a short entry daily!
so.... what has jon been up to? well, for those in singapore eager to know.. jons doing well! IN FACT, im having fun with all my new friends in Perth.. the fellowship is good.. the weather is awesome... the food can be better though!
thus, in ALL thing, give thanks for this is the will of God!
and know what? Jon's gonna dedicate this blog entry to all his new found friends he's met in BPCWA!
So in no order of preference, these are my new buddies..
Alan Kwai: Big Al as some people may know, this guy is a hardcore blogger! Man, andAl certainly has some wicked jokes under his sleeves! He's one of those dudes you need not know for long, yet he'll treat/welcome you with arms wide open!
Carine Liow: The queen of Akwai's heart. Steadfast and faithful gf, above all, a warm and thoughtful sweetie. Also the one who has in many instances encouraged me especially when i was still "new".
Jacob Woo: Jaks for short.. reminds me of a pack of jack chips! Know why? Cos this guy is cool and like that bag of chips slogan of.. "once you've start, you can't stop", once you've enjoyed jaks company, you just can't stop but want to hang out with jaks more! Can't help it... da da da da.. can't help it! LOL!
Rowena Cheng: queen of hearts as ching and chang terms her.. this lady is a fine example of an extroverted warm gal who does not take into offense the occasional "cruel" joke and mean pokes but instead, outwits you! If only more feminine like beings like her existed.. guys won't be left to deal with meaningless squabbles!
Adrian Cheng: one brother who is often found to be christ-centered in his communications. i'm just so thankful to God for this fella here. ever ready to encourage, every ready to reach out to not only his friends but more importantly, new comers and non believers. rock on for christ dude.
Caleb Cheng: haa.. the last of the cheng siblings. this guy has a crack of laughter! know why? Cos when Caleb laughs.. it wont be left unnoticed! a younger brother who is humble and ever willing to learn more.
Truc Pham: Chookies.. small in size yet packs a punch! Am thankful for the rides and the moments we've found each other so "loooossttt" in conversations. A lady with a passion for fellow female believers.. continue to commit those plans to God! Im sure in His time, He will honour and direct you what to do with that small burning fire!
John and Michie: Proud owners of Miss Manja and Mr Moggy! i think this is the couple i spend most of time with.. trying to be the big manja! haha.. but seriously, this couple reminds me of my galilee's dear good buddy ben and his eternal babe, lynda. A couple who is every wanting to be examples of what they believe/have been impressed of how a godly couple should be.
Merilyn Orchard: the closest person to home, literally! Bring me back to orchard road.. please! haha.. this lady here.. gentle, smiley and passionate for Christ! You've been such a blessing, tactful yet open in care and concern!
lest i forget.. these others have been good cheeries/sunbeams to me too!; Darrell, Karen, Ruth, Lilian, Barry, Aileen, Chiao-Ke-Li- Sean, Selina2 (chua and ting), Minh,Valarie, Victor, Jason, Jerome. (and those who've ive not included but have been blessings)
So you may ask, why the BIG hoo-haa over these people? Well.. cos they have been all so instrumental in my settling into BPCWA and in actual fact, my life in Perth! Ironically, even though we meet only on weekends, i spend so much time with these cool beings more than i do with my school mates! For it is said and i agree that; true friendships are those that have Christ based as the center, focus of attention! now now, who says Christians cant be cool? For i tell you, these people are cool and i can't help but thank God more for the future times where i will get to know these people more and more! All Praise and Glory to God!
Presenting to you..the gals and boys of BPCWA:
To conclude, i just want to say that im thankful to God for placing me here in BPCWA.. Am thankful that He has affirmed my footsteps to stay in BPCWA for good.. and well, here's a loud congrats to BPCWA on its 21st anniversary and to Alan on his 23rd bdae!
Now, what do you think? Do you think that base on these "misleading"photos, jon will enjoy the company of his stay in Perth? or do you think otherwise? Let me know.. =)
i guess.. thats it for now! Continue to stay tune, till Jon writes again!
