Holy Day...

Um.. now i'm not going to post anymore in my New Zealand backpacking's blog. I will just continue from my initial blog which is this one...hehe...yesterday i went to a charismatic church in Christchurch. It is near to Pak 'n' Save. It was a great because i have not been to church for quite some time. Eevnthought i've been to several churches accross New Zealand such as Nelson, Te Puke and..opps.i can't think of now..haha.. I prefer the one in Christchurch. However, I still prefer the one back in Malaysia www.nghc.org.my It is a chinese church but the pastor speaks biligual (english and mandarin). The most importance is the fire in every church's members. Now i truly understand the importantance to have a real great discipline..haha Bless you brothers and sisters in da church.. Hopefully when i'm back to KL one day, i will join the FIRE !!!

After the church service, I went to a secret place in Christchurch ...'cheng'..'cheng'....'cheng'......It is called 'GETHESEMANE GARDEN'. This garden is located at 27, Revelation Drive (top of Clifton Terrace), Sumner, Christchurch. This garden is taking care by one Kiwi couple (Beu and Ken). There is a large ark to resemble the Noah Ark (it is a quater size of the real Noah Ark). In the ark, there is 3 levels. 1st level is a church. they have service every 1st week of Sunday in a month. 2nd level- dining area and 3rd level is ballroom. It is mainly use for the wedding. However, it is not allowed to snap any picture in the ark itself. Besides, there is a large garden as well. One of the best section is, there are verses form by using plants. The plants are trim to form a verse from the Bible (God's Word). It is really marvellous. It is indeed a MUST VISIT place in Christchurch... Even thought it is not listed in any travellers book or also not listed in the I-Site (information centre) but i hope it will be great if more and more people visit this beautiful place. As from my friend opinion, this garden - Gethsemane Gardens is more beautiful than Hamilton Garden.
