Law Revue

Just came back from the UQ law revue and I can honestly say that it was the best $15 I’ve ever spent. Basically it’s proof that law students do have a sense of humour. .
Also, due to my proximity to the front of the stage and the massive PA system to my left, I [...]

Salvation is Here (in Ukrainian)

After listening to my song of the month, Casting Crowns ‘Set me Free’, I saw a link to ‘Salvation is Here’ from Hillsong Kiev, Ukraine. It’s amazing seeing how music can transcend all boundaries and reach to all cultures and nationalities.

ODH

ODH with Powerhouse (plus Casey) was stacks of fun – great time of fellowship for everyone.
Highlights:
- Chris injuring one of his toes and demanded medical attention from Casey who alas, had to make do with Rosie
- Congrats to Mark who managed to score a direct hit with a water bomb to my right shoulder. You [...]

Dad’s Accordion Day

Today, my dad’s life has been complete. He is now the proud owner of *drum rolls*

An accordion. Don’t ask me why he loves this instrument – he just does. As long as he doesn’t do the polka or a merry jig, he can play it to his heart’s content.
And to make it even better, he [...]

So Young

Bus ride home from uni. I was talking to a couple of Hope Brisbane people – Michelle and Rachel
Michelle: So what year are you in? 
Me: 1st
Michelle [shocked]: No way
Me [Lolling]: How old did you think I was?
Michelle: I don’t know, maybe 22 or something?

Conversations like that always crack me up.  I’m not sure whether it’s my [...]

Set Me Free

I heard this song during the Shekinah dance last night and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. Personally, I think it’s an amazing song and fitted the theme ‘Amazing Freedom’ last night.
‘Set Me Free’ by Casting Crowns
It hasn’t always been this way
I remember brighter days
Before the dark ones came
Stole my mind
Wrapped my soul [...]

“I’m going to grandma’s house and I’m bringing a bikini”
Chris Bee
Ask me for more details to this highly amusing quote. Now that my obligatory amusing snippet is done, on to the point of this entry.
Powerhouse 1 had its first life group in…aeons. Chris’s (non stumbling) statement really summed up what really convicted me on [...]

World’s Tallest Man

Justin mate – you have competition:
Ukrainian declared World’s Tallest Man
A Ukrainian is the tallest person in the world, beating a Chinese man who previously held the title, Guinness World Records have said.

You Know Crime is Going out of control…

‘Hello Kitty’ armbands to shame bad cops 
Sloppy Bangkok policemen are being ordered to wear bright pink “Hello Kitty” armbands. 
It’s a uniquely Thai twist to zero tolerance anti-crime initiatives used in New York.
 Crime Suppression Division officers caught dropping litter, parking illegally or reporting late for work will get several days wearing the armbands, which come complete [...]

Unusually Stupid

Whilst being the productive student that I am, I was reading a particularly droll chapter about the application of the Trade Practices Act (1974). It all seemed routine until I read the section about who can be mislead for the Act to apply. I encountered this statement which just cracked me up. To the MSN nerds, I [...]
