Seasons

Keep on receiving twitter updates on Halloween events and promos…but my heart is already in Christmas..:)

Photo Log

Ivan is so cute. I took a photo of him watching guitar on youtube and came across all the old photos...

I took this from the driver seat. It's just outside my house. Always love this journey home. Peaceful yes?

 

Jin's birthday. Who wrote that? I give you hint. WONG TAI LOONG!

 

The Complimentary drink.

 

I thought we were supposed to do stupid face first la..

 

WAhh, so pretty.

 

What a role model. Jason and Jin at the most happening place in Alor Setar...Old Town Kopitiam.. I think we met a few friends from chc and they were also back hometown. One actually stood up and greeted Jin. We got into the car and said the same thing: this guy has already been "chc-ized". ;)

 

We had a high tea before departing home to KL.

 

Don't ask me why that expression. Oh dear, we need a better camera. Ahem Ahem.

 

WTL. This is taken from the passenger seat. We were on our way from AS > Ipoh. Jin purposely go to the left lane and slow down for me to take this photo.

Last but not least...

 

The cutest photo on earth – Ivan on my lap watching youtube.

Fly

I was already at the airport 1.5 hours before boarding. I was praying for good weather so that there will not be any delay or retime because it has been raining for the past two days. Thank God for a smooth journey. It is my second time traveling alone since last October, and actually I enjoy traveling alone (siting in the airplane alone) because it makes me think of my family and people I love. And there is always a funny thought what if the  plane....haha..

I love you mom. I love you dad. You know my dad is so lovely this afternoon. Normally he will leave the house after lunch around 3.30pm but today when mom and I reached home at 3pm, he was rushing into his bus and left. Mom saw that he was still munching food in his mouth when he left and was wondering why was he in a hurry. We went back into the house and manage to grab a quick bite before I left. On the dinner table, dad left a red packet on top of the plate.

To Laverne, from Dad.

It is a love message from dad.

Anyway, it was a safe journey. And it is rather a funny experience this time. I finished reading 2 magazines and played solitaire on my ipod until I win a game. Normally I only listen to the slow songs on my ipod, but I kept skipping the slow song and got really excited listening to some techno songs on the playlist. 2.5 hours passed very fast (especially with the techno songs). There was announcement that we are required to put on the seatbelt and prepare for landing. Normally, landing is pretty scary especially with the famous airline we're talking about here...but surprisingly, it landed VERY SMOOTH. Just when I was thinking to tell Jin later how cool the landing was, there was an announcement again in Malay..."Dear passengers, we have yet to land, please remain at your seat because we do not know we should land on the left or the right...thank you for your patience.."

...

Jin had cell group earlier so that he could end it earlier to come to airport and fetch me. Then we had catch up chatting at Sweetbean. Then Jin sent me home and we took the luggage up. It's true that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... The grill was locked. And I don't have the key!!!! The very friendly neighbor next-next door looked out from his unit and so I tried my luck by borrowing his key hoping that it is the same...but it is not. Alright, I used to lock my brother outside the house once when he came back from work. So this is the pay back time.

Good night. It is my first day of work tomorrow.

立春

lì chūn - it means spring begins.

Aunt called to asked mom if we managed to make the egg stands on its own. So we went home and try and tada!

Where is the Sun?

It rained almost the whole day yesterday. And now, the sky is so moody at 11:15am.

Show me the sun...I am going back soon, give me the sun! Haha.

初九日

I woke up earlier than I thought these few days. According to mom, today is Hokkien's first day of new year which is also mom's birthday (according to the Chinese calendar).

Then we went to Wisma Merdeka to get something and bump into Louis. What a small world! Then we went to Warisan Square and bought mom new pants and shoes.

Yes, I bought myself a pair of flats!

Pat says, "FAT" Choy!

Christmas 2008

 

Merry Christmas!!!

This year's Christmas is special:

1. We didn't take any photo for our outings except a few (really a few) before church service started. :S

2. 5 Choong's attended Christmas @ Chang's. HU HU!

3. I teared so much while watching kids in CityCare video clip.

4. I teared again when the little girl was singing solo on stage. Kids, just melt my heart.

5. My phone got barred for the first time in my life for some i-don't-want-to-talk about-it-anymore reason. Thanks to MAXIS.

6. Christmas is all about love and giving. I feel satisfied buying some good gifts. :)

7. RM776.30 spent among 11 people @ Neway Subang. Bro Wong rocks.

1.33am now. Happy boxing day. Back to work tomorrow. :)

Christmas @ Macy

 

This is Nicole's idea of selling Christmas furniture at Macy..how sweet! ;)

Sofa, look at the details. I am impressed.

Yup.  table, lamp, plate - all with Christmas theme.

Stressless recliner with stool (top view).

 

Merry merry Christmas!

Coming Home Soon

Hello world!

My legs are aching. Pimples are bursting from my face. Catched up with some friends yesterday and almost walked around all the shopping places...

Today, pat and I had dinner together and it was considered our first official date after my 3 days here.

My legs are aching...:)

Greg brought me a pair of shoes from my favourite shop. Yeah!!

My mind is cluttered. I do want to blog about the things I did here but I think it is the result using too much of my leg muscles...hahaha..Anyway, I enjoyed myself and despite the little exercise I did, it is a good trip to unwind myself.

2 more days and I'll back to work. Back to reality and I'll be having a new colleague.

My Number 1 and Number 2

  

Home

The car broke down so we stayed at home for two days. Anyway, It's time to go home again. Back to KL. :)

What we have accomplished in this trip:

1. Revived the computer and taught my mom how to use MSN, browser, document processing, how to download mp3, etc, etc.
2. 2 CHUN KIENs for Andy from my Mom.
3. 6 botol of Sabah chili sauce.
4. 2 hand luggages of home cook food and roast duck for Greg and Jenn.
5. 20 pcs of woh tiek inside our stomach.

Things to do after I go back:

1. Resume work
2. Tidy my room
3. Prepare bible studies
4. Prepare song list
5. Attending my driving class #1 on Sat.

Woohooooooooooooooooo!

The "Daily Express"

These few days have been slow and good.

We have been eating and eating (good food).

Jin and I conquered 20 pcs of fried dumplings, grilled squid and grilled fish yesterday night. IT WAS SO GOOD.

We browsed through the photo albums and I found out my Edison Chen look like my dad when he is younger. My mom wore higher heels than I do. *white flag*

We were watching live service this morning and thanks to S.E.B. (SABAH ELECTRICITY BERHAD), Pastor Tan had no choice but to stop preaching due to power failure. *white flag*

We are at Starbucks City Mall to connect to the world.

BTW, I salute to TELEKOM because they suka suka server down. So what if you have subscribed steamyx with 247-365 connection because they really suka suka server down.

We are going for a family dinner later to celebrate my dad's birthday in advance.

Enjoying the last three days of my home vacation.

Full Moon Today

Happy Chap Goh Meh!

February 21, 2008

Happy birthday to my mom. She is a hot lovely adorable and friendly mother.
幸福是感冒时，手中握着暖暖的汤。

Today is the last day of CNY. We are having a family dinner later with Aunt. I hope I can eat all the sinful food and God heal me. Haha.

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.

;)

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.
