Melbourne (9th - 20th)

In my recent trip to Melbourne (9th to 20th April), I was wondering how it was going to be like. So many things I want to do, so many people I really wanted to meet up and catch up with, theres Church conference etc... I was on the plane to the airport and it just felt so different. Small suit case, no agenda of studying for my degree but the pure desire of the trip is to really catch up with my friends and have fun. Even flying off was different in the sense that there were no one sending me off and I just finished helping my parents with their tribe meeting (thus I hurried over).

Melbourne is great. Spent a great time with good friends. In my opinion it is still too short to do anything but it is still worth it. I feel rested and strangely at peace to enter NS. Its like how an old man who is wealthy but has a son who ran away from home and inside him, he has a desire to just meet up with that son before he dies. I guess it was the same for me. A month would have been the bare minimum to me but a week and a half is sufficient to just be able to catch up or at least see with numerous friends. I can truly enter NS in peace now haha!

Melbourne has most of my good friends, people whom I can connect to, many people whom i deeply respect and people whom I really love to hang out with. I guess my time in Singapore, though it was the majority of it (16 years) was not as fun or adventurous filled in comparison to Melbourne. And the ages of 16 - 21 are technically the more fun filled times of one's life. Hopefully NS would be something will be fun as well...
I'll end it off with saying, Melbourne has many of my brothers. Brothers from different mothers (lol), friends with the same type of kindred spirit and people whom I can connect with very easily. If its fate, I'll be able to meet up with them in the future.
I'll post some pictures up of the trip up soon!
