Hello 2006 =)=)=)

Well I'm back!!! it's been one amazingly hot road trip, filled with flies, a couple of near misses and everything else that couldn't be imagined with 4 families -2 kids, 1 teen, 2 twenties, 2 thirties, & 2 fifties- coming together for the common goal of having a good time [i assume]

In retrospect i must say that, the trip was well worth the incredible butt pain i experienced after hours sitting in unforgiving car seats. Henceforth i shall add to my land of memories:

Day 1) Drive to Forster. dolphins!!! beach. introduced to our wonderful Port Macq. motel (it beds 13 ppl!)
Day 2) Started the day off with a light cruise. Devonshire tea *heehee*. more dolphins!!! waterskiing!!! fishing late at night=)
Day 3) Headed for South West Rocks -which has a wicked mile long beach. Then Nambucca Heads -even more beautiful, but there was a near miss here. dolphins!!! Dorrigo next with their renowned national park/waterfalls. Armidale was our night rest. Quite picturesque -specially' when a storm gets thrown into the order of things=D
Day 4) Head for Tamworth - italian lunch. the big guitar. gift time:) Our bedding was in horse capital Scone. nice chinese dinner. It was so hot by now our skins nearly sweated off *grr*
day 5) left for the hunter valley. got a few wines from the upper. went horse riding at the lower -which -nobody would believe me- is actually easier than waterskiing. home sweet home Friday!

i spent New YeAR'S eve re-watching LOTR with couz's, playing a spot of backyard tennis, trying to work a kid's microscope/telescope, teaching john's mother english and being taught some chinese in return:) + talking to her about God. I spent the last minutes discussing my couz's character development with May ... and cont'd talking [& watching kelvin rap dance] after the fireworks did their stuff, lol. So a very family style NYE.. for which i'm ever grateful. It was then i realised that i absolutely love my dual family -(May & co.) one side/(Barbara & church.) on the other. As i was talking to May about the all important ideal bf/husband material type issue, it struck me that i really don't want a guy. Not now. Not in many years. Since i was in high school, i don't think i've gone a week without having a crush on someone. Now i can't get enough of my single life. I feel my priority is with God. Only when i feel (coz i already know) that He alone completes me and I am perfectly happy just Him and me, will i open myself to potential romances.

Anyway this year *oops* /last year/ has been a real eye opener. To tell you the truth, i'm already looking forward to 2007 - 7 being my favourite number and all.. i feel like that's the year things will begin to happen. the life changing stuff. But what do i know? it's all intuition.

P.S. i'll be leaving on Tues for Kosciusko; then Melbourne for a week. I'm spinning with excitement!
