Philip Island Penguin Parade

The following day we headed to the Philip Island for penguin parade. Along the way, we stopped at Maru Koala and Animal Park. Plenty of kangaroos and wallabies hopping around in the park. After that, we proceeded to Cape Woolamai, one of the beach strips. Before we headed to the penguin parade venue, we stopped by at the Summerlands. Unfortunately the visitor center was closed due to Covid-19 pandemic. We were lucky though as the penguin parade center would be closed to the public on the following day, again due to the pandemic. The march of the penguin was indeed a view not to be missed. But don’t expect to see thousand of penguins marching in one shot.

Dangers Men Face #1 - A Dangerous Journey

As we live our life in this fallen world, we are exposed to all sort of "dangers". Danger brings different meaning and experience to each individual. But the danger which we fear the most are the ones we do not see until it is too late. No doubt satan brings good disguise until the victim slowly entrapped into sweet temptation. Each one of us have dreams. Our dreams somehow change along the course of life. Most of the members felt that perspective and dream change as we follow Christ. Dangers come in whether we know it or not. If we are not aware, dangers will destroy our dreams. The members believe the prominent danger that Christians are facing is danger of dream. Christians tend dare not to have big dream (big dream for spiritual work). This could be due to biblical values which have molded the perspective of each Christians. Martin Luther did have a big dream. There are five dangers to be explored: danger of loss, danger of sin, danger of freezing, danger of witdrawal and...

Expo 2025 Osaka

Some photos to share from Expo 2025 Osaka (the country pavilions that I managed to visit). There were lots of people, and some pavilions required queuing for hours. The weather was unforgiving too—one day was hot and another day was rainy (I bought a two-day pass for the visit). I only manages to visit eleven country pavilions. Overall, it was fun but tiring. Photos taken with iPhone 14.

Life, Travel, GRACE
