Photos of Newcastle, Australia

Beginning to really feel at home in
this wonderful place- the pace is really 'relaxed' and the weather (atm) is wonderful- sunny and breezy....




all these beaches are within walking distance, spread out with its sandy beaches and also walking path that leads up to Kings' Park where you can see some breath-taking views of the ocean




so you have the Nobbys beach, where there are many para-sailing on surf boards- wow! wish I could do that....



there's this Ocean Baths- where there's an outdoor swimming pool which you can swim in only when the tide is in...









the Newcastle Beach has surfers dudes and many bathers- temperature of the water is below 20 degree in the evening- and yeah water is really salty but clear...










This is the walking path at the harbour front- the Foreshore- it reminds me a lot of the Quarry Bay near Tai koo Shing in Hong Kong.... there are some good restaurants here too... on weekend nites- you have many people partying...



The Uni Hub in the City- the place where I do all these... thank God for this place- my lifeline to the outside world in terms of communications..heheehe...


some of the older buildings in the city of Newcastle main street- dating 1855.... mixture of old and new but no sky scrapers....

Memory Lane

One month has since passed.... where did the time go?? you can hold on to many things but time is one thing you just need to let it slip pass I guess... after the initial rush and settling of things- I guess other things are settling in as well and I am allowing my mind to be nostalgic and be free to flow to forbidden areas nowadays...

I am beginning to feel a little 'homesick'- not really the physical or logistic aspects like Malaysian air or soil but rather the people I have left behind, the relationships and the bridges I have built.. the many laughters and smiles, even the tears and pain , the long talks and the long walks.... the many words of wisdom and encouragement, the prayers and concerns shown....irreplaceable!


Pastor Julie - always been my 'unofficial shelter and shepherd'...always there to pray for my family and I




farewell lunch with the vision of a sunflower and morning glory for the big one... rose and lily for the small one and a deep well for me...

the Taman Midah cell.. 'long but not lost' family who cared and been a strong foundation when I first launched out into building relationship.... just proving that distance does not really matter - such fine and wonderful brothers and sisters who took care of me even after so many years...





The many wonderful and great experiences being given the opportunity to work under these anointed pastors who flow with the power and the Spirit of the Lord... PKS and PLKM



I miss 'slow cooking porridge sessions through the phone' ... have much over due quota for speech outstanding... hahahaha!!
