Devotion - Hillsong United

Was listening to the album 'All of the Above' when i started to randomly google for it on YOUTUBE. Marvel at the wonders of the world world-wibe web.. again... and i found this! I think this song is juz so marvellous and great and Marty Sampson speaks of how he's inspired to write this song as a proof of how much he trusts in God wherever he is! Whether he was a kid, or 15 years old or even married (or engaged?!) as he flaunts that ring on his left hand! (all girls need to say "awww..." at this point of time)

P.S. dionne, think its really apt for you!

First church service in montreal...

WEnt for my first church service juz now... at Impact Church. WEll, i kinda found out about this church after googling.. the wonders of the world wibe web. ANyway, judging from the websit, i assumed that it'd be ALL RIGHT. you know what i mean yeah. Apparently, the church is made up of mostly youths/students

WEll, things didn really go as i expected... the sermon was all right. The pastor was toking about sacrifices through the story of CAin & Abel. He kinda adopted a more bible study approach through open discussions/comments from the floor... which again, i wasnt used to. Well, the last part kinda shocked me. they ended the service with hymns. yes hymns. they started doing this acappella thingy and sang the song 'HOly, holy, holy'. Ok, i dun mean to be mean... but guess i'm not used to it. The atmosphere was juz sooo serious and sombre...

Mont Tremblant, Quebec!

Visited 'Lac de Sable' (aka Lake of Golden Sand) & Mont Tremblant yesterday! HAha.. well, Lac de Sable is this really small town with REALLY rich pple who buy summer houses by the lake and probably leave it empty most of the time. Juz when you think the number of homeless pple in this world... that sounds really... 'nice'. Well, modes of transportations like bicycles, cars are basically replaced with sea planes, yachts/boats ( i mean BOATS and not sampan boats...) and garages for their mini-toys! HHAA.... WE took a cruise which brought us into the inner areas of the lake and got to see REALLY big houses.... and their mini toys of course. APparently, the land only costs 10 bucks CAD per square metre.... that adds up to around CAD$180,000 for a piece of land?! well, then again.... we haven even calculated in the construction/rennovation/maintenance part.... hahha...

NTL, the view was great! It was kinda surreal as you felt like you were entering into the forgotten land.... HAHA.. where civilisation and society doesn seem to be a part of this world... juz trees, the sky and many beavers! hehehe...

mini cruise ship on lac de sable...
Thats the boat house btw... yes, it means a house for the boat....
See those tiny white specks in teh midst of greenery? those are the BIG BIG houses...


Following this, we headed to have lunch in the city area.... it was a quick bite cos hui qing and i were busy shopping at the factory outlets... again. HAHA>. we got a steal: a tommy hilfiger jacket for CAD$8.55 bucks after discount and discount and discount and further discount... you wonder how they could slash the price from CAD198 bucks to CAD98 then to CAD9.99 then CAD8.55. HAHA>. then you realize, that humans are juz conscious-minded pple who wouldn mind paying the price for the brand. WEll, i want the brand, but not the price... hehhee... i'd like to think that i'm the smarter bunch fo these 'conscious-minded pple'....

Had another half an hour's drive to MOnt TRemblant. It's an island where the ski resort remains as the centrepiece of attraction. The place looks REALLY great as we got to view the moment when the leaves turn red, followed by a lighter shade of yellow which eventually fall, and the land turns into a white sheet! HAha... Again,, the WHOLE mont tremblant ski mountain is owed by this SUPER rich guy who created this ski mountain concept like 30 years ago!? but it wasnt popular till recent years... what can i say, this SUPER Rich guy thought far...

Mont Tremblant, Quebec!
