BEST TRIP IN A LONG TIME..

I label myself as someone who doesn't get to enjoy much out of life these days or people normally call it "I have no life". So yesterday I was like a freed bird out of its cage - finally got a chance to fly and just enjoy myself to the fullest!

The Jervis Bay trip was awesome! The beaches.., the white sand, the clear water, I was just in awe (without words!). God is an awesome and wonderful God, if His creation is this beautiful, what about the Creator Himself - God?

The whole trip had been great from the start, thank you to 3s and Joan for organising it so well. We all met up at 6ish am in front of my apartment, had Rose to pray for the trip and off we went, 12 people in 3 cars. Breakie @ Maccas for a start. To keep the trip on the road not so boring, 3s had a 'Jervis Bay Trip Quiz' game set-up for the first half trip, questions were sent to our mobiles every 15 mins and the first 2 teams (1 team/car) to reply with correct answers would collect 1 point, team with the most points would win. Up to this point, we haven't known who is the winner.. I reckon our team (Joan, Rose and me) didn't do so bad hehehe.

Some questions were quite "adventurous questions" if I could call them, like:
* In order of size from small to large, provide the price of a cup of latte in McDonald's! - We had to stop at Maccas to check it out, sekalian ke restroom. :) That was FUN.........

Our first stop (after so many stops on the way) was Hyams Beach, arrived at around 10ish (almost 11am), IT'S MARVELOUS!!!!!! We couldn't keep our feet off the water as soon as we arrived there. The sand was as close as to white, the water was the clearest I've ever seen. Some of us weren't quite convinced that the sand was white - coz we still had our sunnies on hehe. Anyway, so we just walked along the beach (without getting ourselves wet) enjoying the view, the sun and the air, and the company of friends, and some photo taking sessions, which I'm still waiting patiently to see.

Got bored with playing with water, so we played a volley ball, though I'm not the good one, but just played along, that was GREAT! I really enjoy getting active in an open air. Hadn't done this in a long while. So after a good 1 hour play, we were off to somewhere in the National Park (forgot the name of the place) for a lunch picnic. Lunch was chicken wraps (marinated thai chilli and lemon grass chicken, really yummmmm) by 3s and Jo; pasta by Imen and tuna by Ken. *Thank you all, chefs!* We all had a great time over lunch talking to each other, singing and playing guitar and just enjoying nature and birds singing. Everything was excellent, except for the 'angle .................' :P

I think our next trip was to Green Patch? Anyway we visited 3 - 4 beaches throughout the whole trip. Still quite impressed with the 1st one and perhaps the last one where we played our real volley ball game with the proper net which was set-up and left unattended, so we played there, not until we found out that it belonged to someoneelse hahaha, the guy said "guys, I'm taking this now!", oopssyy...!!! But we're quite lucky to be able to use it for at least 1 hour - score at the moment is still even, so when are we going to complete this game guys??

Afterwards, we found no where to continue playing, so the guys decided to go for a swim while the girls playing on the water side without getting ourselves wet of course (for many reasons!!) although the guys were attempting to get us wet, but was quite unsuccesful or just had pity on us hehe. The girls had a good bonding sessions, talking and sharing time, which I valued so much. Everyone was doing something except for Imen zzzzzzzzzz (recharging) time. It was quite funny and shocking when we found out that Imen was sleeping behind us (girls) while we were talking about some "girl stuff", ouch! But then quess what, he was complaining rather than being happy about it hahaha...

So that was quite a wrap for the trip, as the afternoon was nearly over soon, the guys got change and we headed off to Sydney. We stopped at KFC on the way for some dinner together around 7ish. By that time, all were looking pretty tired, red faces, red eyes, red arms, red necks - yep, pretty much everyone got sunburnt. After dinner it was quite dark already, we were hoping to catch some stars on our way back. Firstly, we were quite dissapointed as we could only see 1 or 2 stars, because it was somehow cloudy. Not until around 10ish pm, wooowww... stars all over the sky, some of us could name them by names, I wouldn't have a clue hehe, it's amazingly beautiful, again... they reminded me of how great our God is!

Couldn't find a spot to stop and watch the sky, so we drove all the way to Sydney and home. As soon as I got home, took shower (at 12am) and shut down on my bed.

That was the end of a great trip journey which I just admitted to a friend that this is my best trip ever that I haven't felt for a long time. I came home felt refreshed, not that tired, just sleepy. So thank you all for making this trip so fun and enjoyable!
