A Visit to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park with SHC English Choir

Yups... It was a super impromptu trip, initiated by my sifu, Christine and the rest on 24th night. Hehe! I had always wanted to go to the zoo... Somebody should be able to remember what I said and how disappointed I was when I was brought to the entrance of the zoo and deprived of entering it! Hehe! ^_______________^ I'm so happy that I finally got the chance~~ THANKS A LOT, GALS!

Let me briefly summarize the whole trip via photos~~

Entrance/Exit of Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Alright, that's all for my report... I shall look forward to see some squels from you all~~ LOL! Basically after that we went home, I managed to stop by Stella Maris blessed sacrament for a few moments of silence with God. In fact, I became so in awe with God the moment I stepped into the wildlife park and started seeing animals in front of me. Seeing how the youngs were being taken care by their mothers... The love that even animals would shower on their offsprings... What more us, as humans, to God? Besides the verse, "Lord I'm amazed by You...", there were 101 things on my mind at that moment. I thank God for all that happened... because I know all occurred for a reason... And I choose to believe He meant business when He broke me into pieces... Business which will prosper me and transform my life into what God calls me to be. Till the day comes... Only one single word I can use... PERSEVERANCE.

At night I drove to Servay after daily mass to buy Tenom coffee (my mom's instruction) to be brought back to Johor next week, and then decided to drop by 1Borneo for some shopping spree. Managed to grab some lovely coloured undergarments at Tune Store, a black, really really formal dress and a working blouse in Niichii. All up to 70% discount. In between that I bought Zane's wedding gift (since I couldn't make it for her wedding due to my scheduled Inner Healing and Transformation Seminar from 27-30 November) and also something for Sislady.

Then I came home and finally bought my air tickets for CNY. Phew! Spent more than RM800 in a day! What a record for myself!!!! The tickets cost me RM500++. I wish AirAsia would be more considerate in increasing the price of the tickets as the time draws near to festive season. As a teacher, I feel the pinch whenever I feel like flying home during school holidays and festive seasons... Ouch!!!

Overall it was an achievement for me to get many things done in a single day. Now what is left is tomorrow - wrapping Zane's wedding gift, meeting Mirina for lunch and an outing with my colleagues in Tanjung Aru... Then it'll be Thursday... Where Brenda and myself will travel with some people to Bundu Tuhan for our retreat... Can't wait to taste and see God on the mountain... I wonder how Elijah felt when he felt the presence of God in the gentle breeze and how Moses felt when he worshipped God at the mountain top that his face glowed until he had to cover with a cloth? I want that experience. I know I will.

Hehe! I shall share about the Prodigal Son in tomorrow's entry...

Till then... God bless us all!
