Last Friday of 2007

We had an appreciation dinner at my house instead of having cell group meeting tonight. It was a very solid steamboat dinner with mostly meat and require minimal cleaning work. Isn't that thoughtful? I think Mr Choong and his crew has done a wonderful job. Seriously, I thank you all and I heart you all.

Christmas was over. I have yet to upload the photos because I don't have all of them with me and also it requires effort and determination to go through the photos and upload...if you know what I mean.

Anyway, back to the dinner. I think it was good. We had fun. We had food. We talked. Glad to have KW's sister to join us for the dinner. We are overloaded with fish balls and sausages. Dinner ended with JCo donuts as our desserts. We had some IQ questions and sembang-sembang session.

I thank God for the friends that He has put into my life. I love counting the days that we know each other and without you guys, my life is less laughter, less jokes, less color, less memories and less flavor!

I thank God for wonderful and faithful friends: KW, KH, Yvonne. I really love you all.

I love this cell group. If you are looking for sincere love and genuine friendship, this is the place where I personally experience from them. You helped me to become a better person. You made me feel loved. You are God given gifts to me. Thank you.

Thank God for understanding that I received throughout the year ever since I come back from bible school. This year is a remarkable year to me where I learn to cherish friendship, pursue love whole heartedly.

Itinerary updates:
29 depart to Singapore @5.30am. Weekend service at Expo @5pm

yellow, red or purple?

OK. I must admit that the next few posts I wanted to write is a wrap up of christmas 2007 - the people, the kefira show, the fellowship, the pressies, etc.

BUT then oh...

It is sad to say that I have been repeating my problems at least 5 times to different personnel I talked to the 012-company. It was a long story on how I did not get to view my bill statement from my online account (And this is the second time I encounter this problem for a different reason). So, trying to be very understanding about how customer service works in different organization, I politely repeat my problems before they ask me (according to their flowchart) because if I followed their way, I am going to repeat my story anyway...

Sigh. I don't know how to tell you lar...

As a conclusion, they promised to email me my latest bill statement an hour ago. And I have been clicking the refresh button ever since I come back from my lunch break.

Keep waiting...

Keep believing...

Keep hoping...

Let's pray.

Christmas 2007

Last year, we called our moms on how to fry calamari during our Christmas dinner. Today, I called my mom again to ask her how to cook curry chicken.

Yes. It started with an intention to cook for darling but we guess it is more fun to have a Christmas Big Dinner. Decision was only made at 3pm so we had few special guests to join us for the dinner.

What's on the Menu: (Best to Worst Taste)
***** Herbal Chicken Soup
**** Deep Fried Calamari "Fillet"
*** Scrambled Eggs (with a lot of onions)
** Curry Chicken (very Indian kind...)
* Super Tasteless Fried Kai Lan





Desserts:

: Peach+Longan
: Honey Jelly





The honored guests were very kind and they brought a bottle of wine. We had it as punishment for our card games.

Neopolitan ice cream and cheese super ring snacks were served during the movie - The Kingdom.

Oh did I tell you that dinner was over in 20 minutes and then we cleaned the dining room and kitchen.

Tired.





Merry Christmas 2007.

WHATEVER

i hate that.

being sick on a public holiday.
because you have to accept excuse to stay at home for some stupid excuse.

have to learn to be independent now. have to learn to get use to jin is not around.

ladies need your company. ok yes applicable for guys also. you know who you are... those whom i treasure and love.

Dec 10, 2007

i hate worms.

I was so furious when i receive a stupid email today. I thought I had a heart attack.

It really make me envy of Jin's working environment. A little bored but yet I can see that he is enjoying his work and at least, at least! there is less stupid people and not-cooperative-at-all colleagues.

It is the same thing for music band. If you think you are so talented and you deserve to take all the limelight. Go ahead and play alone or sing alone in the middle of the stage without sound system and lighting. For God sake we are designed to work as a team! I really don't understand why people can be so right about themselves and think that they can do it on their own. When it comes to mistakes they will just push all the responsibilities to dead objects like the guitar, like the microphone, or even the speaker! Make use of the brain and be a problem solver. Don't tell me all the problems because I am so sick of them and stop acting as if they are acceptable excuse and PLEASE start proposing solutions!

Say all you want to say but it is really hard to tolerate not-cooperative-at-all people. They are really UFO.

Dec 7, 2007

23+1

Alright, finally we're back. ;)

Jin did a summary on the whole incident. What I can say from the whole thing is God did a miracle. Thank you! Last few days have been tiring, but He has never failed to show us His hand upon us. I manage to spend more time with Jin's family and especially his mom and brother. She is very lovely and I think Jason has grown more matured. Seeing how he took care of auntie really made my heart melt. I think I am missing him a little already.

We came back on Friday morning because we had to work. We did the Macy's tradition of celebration for my birthday before off work and then Jin surprised me with a bouquet of pink roses when he came to fetch me after work. That is very sweet of him. We headed to Westin for a family dinner together with Greg and Jenn. It was a good one. and I guess it has been a loooooooong loooooooong time that we actually spend more than one hour for a dinner. Priceless moments. Thank you dear for making it an memorable birthday for me. Thanks to all your SMS-es. ;) (And yes, I'm not born in the zoo...)

Time is ticking. I am officially 23+1. I pray for another year of breakthrough.

Chilly Sunday

I feel so good after washing my face and my hair. It has been more than 12 hours that my hair is with hairspray and wax and my face with the make up.

Thank God, I am healed from my flu. Clarinase works. Prayer works. Sufficient sleep works too!

I must say that this is another Sunday that I will remember. The presence of God was very strong during the two services especially when we were singing the song Mercy and Glorify. I started to tear during the last service as they sang the song Amazing Grace. A simple song that was so real and true to my heart.

Your mercy saved me
Your mercy made me whole

Your mercy found me
And call me as Your own

His mercy taught me to forgive. His mercy taught me the gift of forgiveness.
It made me realize that with His mercy, I am able to say "sorry". I am able to forgive.

Don't you think forgiveness is so precious?

Dec 25, 2005 - I told God that I will not leave Him no matter what.
Nov 25, 2007 - He softly reminds me of my prayer again.

To all my friends out there, the best gift for Christmas this year is the gift of forgiveness. You should come and watch our Christmas production this year. Something different, something special, and make your Christmas remarkable.

4 more weeks to get ready for the production.

updates

Yo we're back. we have been busy these few days. I think I am catching a flu. Curse all the virus!

I accidentally cut my thumb with the blade this morning (My thumb is still with me in WHOLE). It bled. I can still feel the pain now. But it is not as pain as my heart. I must say that words do hurt people. But I learn an important lesson. Self righteous will not bring us anywhere and we can't behave wrongly just because what others did to us might be wrong. I came to realize that sometimes we might have a lot of opinions of what are the things supposed to be done, how it is supposed to be done, etc. But when things really happen in your shoe, you might have another insight. Well, what can I say. Learn to be grateful. Learn to appreciate. Learn to trust God and thank God in difficult times. Thank God for enemies because they make you stronger, and thank God for loved ones because they make you a better person.

Oh yes, congratulations to Charissa! They are getting married soon!!! ;)

I finally got my Corrinne May's latest album...*very very happy*

Weather has been good today and we've been walking and walking around the city. We took photos, we talked, we walked, we see things, we buy things. We enjoyed ourselves.

Tomorrow we are going to Vivo and then Sentosa. Pray for good weather and good fellowship with my dear friend Pat!

Goood night. I must wake up for my MOS burger tomorrow morning.

life life life part 2

Not to mention how someone's rebellion has irritated and or rather hurt me, well....this is another week of celebration of life. ;)

Congratulations to Mr Daddy Kevin!

KH started SPM yesterday. Got your SMS. Why celebrate? One day closer to your "freedom".

Read your blog. Hmmm, our dear friend is very happy.

Glad that she enjoyed her birthday with lobster. keke.

Chris finally finished his paper yesterday 5pm.

My darling is finishing his last paper for this semester by 5pm later. wooohoooo!

And yes, I am going to attend pastor Phil's service this weekend!!

Nov 11, 2007

life life life

when you are younger, you are expected to attend your parents' friend's kid's birthday parties, parents' friends' parents birthday parties, attend parent's friends' kid's wedding parties, etc.

when you start to know more friends in school, you look forward for your birthday parties, your friends' birthday parties, class parties, etc.

when you are getting a little older you start to organize late night parties, wild nights out, surprise birthday parties, attending graduation parties, club parties, school proms, and yes, also parents' friend's son/daughter's wedding parties.

then slowly you will attend work anniversary parties, work outing parties, after work wild night parties, and also bridal showers, friends' weddings and weddings and weddings, friends' kids' full moon parties, friends' kids birthday parties, etc. (and of course funeral)

scary!!!!

i'm going singapore this weekend! not to attend any wedding but to attend weekend service.

very the excited.

ok, back to my book!

Nov 10, 2007

sick of it.

noodles again.

understanding the truth behind it saddens my heart.

Nov 7, 2007

remember the days

"dear, maybe they thought we're fighting again."

Haha!

Today is a day of celebration.

1. I am recovering. Yay!

2. It is Sheryl's birthday today. So we actually celebrated for Sheryl and Jill @ pantry. Trust me, the cake cutting ceremony i mean photo taking ceremony birthday celebration was a loooooooong one. We took group photos. I will post it up once I got it.

3. Dinner @ Fridays, The Curve. Gary was just sitting next to our table. And yes, Jill stood on the chair and tried to blow the candles. Good one. We are very very full. Didn't manage to finish the food. Lum almost kena 4D and he went to the toilet to wash face in order to calm himself down.

4. We went over to laundry for a drink. Met the suppliers and yes, I see how our dear colleagues celebrated Jill's big day by....making her drink! Haha.

5. I sat down with them for a short while in laundry and then my dear finally arrived to pick me up.

6. So we went to Kenny Rogers since Jin has not eaten his dinner yet. I drank the chicken soup...I am very the full larr....

7. We decided to celebrate the night by watching movie for the reason (1) Jin finished his paper today (still got 2 more next week), (2) because it is November 7.

***

We catched a movie. Bullet and Brain. It is a stupid funny movie. :) We had a good laugh. But as we are walking out from the cinema, it was raining dinosaurs and elephant. As we needed to cross over to the Curve to get our car, we just had to wait for the rain to stop...

So I realized something....

1. Cineleisure and the Curve/Ikano is a thinline of heaven and hell, adult and kiddos.
There are so many pub/cafe/disco/tomcaktomcak/I don't know what inside the mall!

2. I am getting old. :(
I can't really stand the smoke smell filling the air.
LaLaTM here and LaLaTM there running around in the mall.
The security guards are getting panicy to ensure that the kids didn't do anything funny in the mall.

3. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE THEY DOING THERE.
I don't think I am ready to become a mother because in the case I see my daughter getting drunk and high there, I will go down and slap her upside down inside out left to the right.

4. We've learn our lesson.
I don't like cine anymore... We will probably go back to OneU or MidV for movies.
And then guess what. We had a traffic jam at 3:09AM in the carpark.
Just because our dear Malaysians are very KIASU also... Everyone is trying to get out through the ONE and ONLY ONE ticket exit. Sigh. So what if you have a nice car in Malaysia? haha because you are still prone to traffic jam... some more in the mall carpark. Paiseh-nya...

5. Enjoy alcohol. Don't get drunk.

***

Frost It!

I googled corrinne may again, listen to her songs online. immediately all the frosty frosty christmas mood is surrounding me...

Josh Groban's album is also a good buy.

Looking forward for Christmas!

Nov 6, 2007

ouch

sick. pain. pain. ache. ache.

i went to SP and ask for corrinne may's latest album...but didn't manage to get it..

why so slow ohh

i'm going to work tomorrow...

休此符

听着一首熟悉的歌,
我闭上眼睛,梦见了天使。
一片青色的草原,我一个人躺在地上。
深深的呼吸,我感受了自由的舒服。

一本书,一首歌,一个承诺,一段友情,一个爱情故事。。。
在于怎样的心情接受。

就算是逃避, 请让我在这首旋律中相信爱。
到了休此符,我会勇敢走下去。

lousy weekend

maybe it is just too much to ask, too much to say.

#whatis facebook

being an IT degree holder (few years ago...), i think i am considered a techy person (among females). Despite i have been avoiding computer programming since my first C Porgramming test, I think I enjoy and appreciate applications with good design and concept. But then ahhh....

I don't think I enjoy facebook.

I like friendster. because I can actually go through friends or friend's friends' or (NOT) friends profile and look at their marital status, any hot photos, lame comments...wahhahaa...etc etc.

I like multiply. You can gain understanding of a person from what they write. Or in lay man terms...you can get the latest news or rumours... sometimes, it is definitely a good laughing stock. I mean good entertainment.

I like gmail. Other than long emails, it actually turns out to be a MSN for me to communicate with those whose companies that block MSN.

so, what about facebook...

* I actually click wrongly for several times..I feel like I am very "loon choon".
* Stop those biting activities lah...
* I just got this feeling that Mr. facebook keep asking for my commitment to do this, to do that, to slap this person, to bite that zombie....
* I actually pet a frog called Hijau. But seems like it is harder for me to pet a virtual frog than having a real pet. Thanks joyce for the Hijau's gift. :P

But of course...

I will see what how I will be transformed to follow this facebook thingy...

All the best to Laverne and also Facebook.

upset

tired. and upset. because tired and not fruitful. that's why upset.

grrrr.

Oct 28, 2007

quick sum.

kar heng told me that he enjoyed the PM. thank god. i don't want a nice agenda. but i really hope that they know god and they experience god themselves. no one will take that away...so...keep growing guys!

I didn't really enjoy my weekend. I was tired, cold, in pain, and in pain. I SERIOUSLY need to be discipline in my calcium intake. Scared la, later cannot give birth oh how? baby too heavy cannot stand straight or walk properly...cham la....

I pampered myself with a skin revive multivitamin mask today. Feel good after that. I don't know if it is really good and so effective but what i know i feel good after that..haha.

Oh yes, today, we had 5 from Choong family members to sit in one service. very remarkable.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day. Moving works start in the morning and renovation work at 9pm onwards. Will go and have look see.

Mr Hee is having exam. Please pray for him. Tuesday 1.30pm. 100%.

This is what he said to me before saying goodnight...
...Glucose 6 phosphatse is an enzyme when you change glucose 6 phosphate to glucose with addition of H20...

Amen. I love you.












Night!

I pray for good results.
I pray for healthy body.
I pray for speedy recovery.
I pray for divine healing.
I pray for healthy self esteem.
I pray for God to speak into our lives.
I pray for God to start moving in our hearts.

Air Asia Ad

Back to Work

This morning, I woke up late. Jin was at my doorstep at 8am, and I don't remember hearing my alarm clock. "Defeatedly", I started my day...late.

I told my boss that I would be going into office late because I wanted to go to the bank. Well, we went to the Bank, and less than a minute, I walked out...very defeatedly...

We had a breakfast+lunch nearby. My dear "encouraged" my by saying that I am an overcomer ohh...

Walaoeh...

Fine. I couldn't open any single account, apply any cards...etc.etc.etc.

Today is a total waste of MY time to go to the bank.

But then again, I am an overcomer mah...

--

It is Shooky's birthday today. We had a mini celebration at the pantry, took some groupies, had a sweet slice of chocolate cake.

My heart is so excited to hear that a sister (whom a twin herself) is pregnant with twins babies!!

Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww.......... I'm so happy~

Oct 15, 2007

lost

I woke up feeling that I've lost something. I think, I've really lose it somehow.

We watched The Brave One yesterday. It is pretty stressful (with the storyline and few foreigners were sitting beside us...so...quite scary la). Back to this "lost" feeling, time has just stolen the past. I think it could be better, things can be nicer, the food can be tastier, people can be gentler....etc.

I wonder if I am getting depression.

I was updated that there will not be Emerge SG anymore. But there will be Asia Conference. He told me that things are moving on. Again, I can feel the 'lost' of something again...

My goodness...

My stomach is OK now. Thanks :)

Just that I am losing my appetite at this moment.

Raya 2007

.: S1 :.

This week I have been very diligently attending all the meetings and services in church (leaders meeting, cell group meetings, worship practices and 3 services). Haha! It is really Raya-ing with Jesus. Didn't go to SG this week but end up spending my weekend and holiday exploring KL and also serving in the church.

Met Andy and Sharon on Saturday night service. Well, it is very RANDOM, and yes we took photo. I also showed off my customized version of Sony T7.
































Andy complained that his hair is long... I often see David (behind) in church. Never really talked to him, feeling a bit guilty.
















Albert, our hensem friend here.
















The groupie, taken by Albert. We had the same reaction seeing the photo.

.: S2 & S3 :.

We had a cg short meeting after Service 3. We seldom do this, as normally we don't attend the same services for many reasons...but today, we did for one reason.

We sang Kar Keat a happy birthday song. It was not done in a very very surprised manner (as compared to Harry's (although I think he found out before that) and Kelvin's)... but then, we do wish you happy happy birthday. :)

(*Didn't manage to take any photo...we will take A LOT during the makan session this week...)

Talked to the awesome cell group members and we are going to have an outing this week.

Date: October 18, 2007 (Thursday)
Time: 20:00:00
Venue: YUEN Buffet Steamboat (famous for the grabbing chicken wings competition)































Look at the people....I got to reserve the table...or we will end up like that...

Stay tune and...if you are interested to go for the steamboat, please look for Kar Wai.

Ha ha

what's your flavor?

today, i bought Jamoca® Almond Fudge and it safe and sound in the fridge....

shhh....
