hyper-optimistic me

I blame myself for getting excited too easily, or maybe I'm just putting my hopes way too high.

Here's why.

A few days ago, I was browsing through the Hillsong church website when I found out that the early bird registration ends on 30th Nov ($179, extra 20 after that).

I got overly enthusiastic and began the crazy hunt of cheap air tickets to Sydney, checking out backpackers prices, and even searched for train fares to the Acer Arena. Then I sent out a message through facebook to a few friends, hoping that they'll be as enthusiastic as I am and grabbed the opportunity to attend Hillsong Conference 2008.

It was a last minute plan, I admit. And most people aren't keen on spending about $800 going to a conference, not to mention skipping 1 week's worth of lectures. But there I was, praying for a miracle that more people would say yes.

I am disappointed.

Not at you guys who couldn't make it, don't get me wrong. I fully understand your responsibilities and important things to do. I just thought that He would make it happen, and make it possible for us to travel again before some of you guys graduate next year.

Oh well. I might still go, it's my dream to be part of the conference ever since I picked up my first Hillsong album. Worst case scenario, I'll fly off to Sydney by myself and meet up with friends over there. *hint hint, Jess*

All hope is NOT lost! I still have faith that I'll attend it, some other year if next year is not the year. ;P
