My Melbourne Trip -- Part 2

I was meant to finish blogging about my melbourne trip earlier this week but I never got down to it. Busy la and no inspirations. Not that I have inspirations now anyway.LOL!

I visited the Arts Centre Sunday Market after church on Sunday when I was over that weekend. Its awesome to see aussies actually passionate about art and the stalls were set up every sunday for them to showcase their precious possessions. They have like ceramics, aussie timber work, jewellery, photography and heaps more. It is sort of a tourism spot at St Kilda very close to the beach area so it was sort of very nice to admire those art pieces along with the cool breeze of the sea. The weather was simply beautiful except that it was a little chilly. I bought a nice little silver plated bangle with sky blue coloured crystals and stones at the middle. It was a sweet little thing at a really cheap price.

I like melbourne city, not in a way that I think I can live there but rather I guess I would like to visit again for shopping (The brands I love are all there.. aww), food (They have so many Japanese restaurants there which I love and also Krispy Kremes) and for the beaches. Melbourne city is kind of shopping paradise. I love the direct factory outlet (DFO) near Southern Cross Station. That was a HEAVENLY place for me! I got my red sandals from Country Road for half the retail price and my Espirit skirt at a 70% discount. Awesome bargins that make me want to go back for more! Thank God I didnt buy much stuff after that otherwise I would have trouble trying to force them into my tiny luggage bag to return to adelaide.

During my stay in melbourne, I spent alot of time with God as well. Reading and meditating upon his word. My heart was in adelaide with Ecamp but I was in melbourne having my little holiday in my own dreamland. I adore the lady whom I met through Shirley. This lady, Allison, few years older than me but she has a great relationship with God, passionate about adopted childen, has 2 adopted gals under care. I see a great sense of passion in her, an undying spirit to care and to support lost and helpless gals. Its the kind of passion I wan to be instilled in me but I am still searching for it. I guess its a calling from God. The selflessness I see in her is very admirable. She could speak with me about things that are deep in her heart though I was staying with her for 3 days, such discussion sometimes couldnt even be found among close friends but we found it in each other. She is a young woman whom I can look up to as a sister in Christ and a role model in life. Its these people I meet on my trip that makes the whole trip even more worthwhile.

I kinda miss the trip now..Oh well..
