Good morning Sydney!!!

The last couple of days are special enough to deserve a post, so post i shall..
`` On Friday I went to youth fellowship again; learnt 3 dozen new names and made a new friend:D Honestly that place is like a pot of gold- the gold being stirling lessons and experiences given freely upon request.. of course that's due to the nature of the people. It's a pretty great community.. unique in their way of making most feel accepted into their fold. But I'm mindful of the fact that were a newbie naturally reticent and non-canto, they might've thought it more of a desert than an oasis.. I didn't leave til half past 11 and by then, was tipsy from tiredness. Tho I have fully recovered by sleeping 12 hours last night o.O"

`` Yesterday momentously involved trains, soot and a huge serving of eager little passengers. You'd think New Year's had come or an early Christmas. But i suppose anything less wouldn't have done 150 yrs of railway service any justice. Yep! In honour of Peter's birthday we went on a gorgeous steam train ride:D The whole family, including Nathaniel and Grams, went out so that's a span of 4 generations in one setting. Grams only came with us for the picnic after the ride @ Bicentennial park, where we had a healthy, mediterranean/turkish lunch and took lots a' happy snaps -well i did anyway- for the sake of annoying everybody:P Then we went for a loong walk to the wetlands where a lot of birds gracefully minded their own business, allowing us to ooh and ahh over them from a healthy distance. So much uncharacteristic walking was involved that, the moment we came home, i stopped for a shower then plonked right into bed. When i woke up it was totally dark.. muttering *great* i promptly rolled over and slept rather unfitfully with a weird dream involving my bros, a shopping mall and a nightmare version of Harry Potter. *sigh* the effects of over-sleeping..

well today's sunny-ness is set to blow away any unsettled feelings inspired by that kooky dream .. Sydney never appears to tire of chicken-soup-for-the-soul' kinda days. Church will begin fairly soon, leaving me about 3 hours of time to do something useful with. .. off i go ``

8:09 am
ooh ooh!! I almost forgot to post a very important something that happened:: I got a new job!!! Can you believe it?? I almost couldn't. I was close to jumping out of my skin when they phoned me the day after the interview to tell me! The feeling of elatedness should carry me thru to exam time:D God answered my prayers so quickly and I'm very grateful. It was an interesting interview; over an hour long and involving spoken, written plus a mini-presentation.. which in itself was an experience:)
