AS: Alan & Sharron

It's always sweet when a friend you know for a period of time ties the knot with someone they love. :) I knew Sharron from floorball. And to be frank, when we first met, I was kinda scared of her. You know goalies la.. They scream at you over everything. 

Ball fly here, scream at you; ball fly there, scream at you. Opponents block her view, scream at you; opponents running down, scream at you; when she gets the ball and you don't run down fast enough, scream at you. So after a game, her voice will still be ringing in my head, together with the coaches'. =.=" But if I had to choose a lady goalie and put the word "Legend" beside it, it will definitely be Sharron. :)

So.. I was very honoured to be invited to her Bachelorette Party (which her friends called it as "Hen's night", but I still think Bachelorette Party is a cooler term loh), and it was really fun. Haha. It was nothing like the first Bachelorette Party that I attended 4 years ago, which involved quite alot of drinking. Hehe. Shhhhh. Sharron's party was sweeter and cuter. :) Her sister - Serene and their friends were so sweet and thoughtful, that they bought Sharron "equipments" that she and Alan need for their wedding night dy. HAHAHA. Funneh. =D

I realized that both Bachelorette Parties that I've attended, Lala is also present. LOL.

[They said I look so "hang fok" here hugging Lala's arm. HAHAHA. And as for Sharron, I have no idea what she's doing. :D]

[missy & missy]

Attended Alan and Sharron's wedding together with the boys. No pictures except for this one. :)

Congratulations Alan and Sharron!! :) I wish you two all the happiness, and remember to love each other with the love of God, 'cause His love never fails.

Flashback (Part 2)

Spent New Year's Eve in church, counting down to 2013. :)

I was asked to help out in the translation of testimonies from English to Hokkien. And no, my Hokkien is far from good. Not even close to average. And as I was doing it, it reminded me of how good and faithful God has been, is and will always be. I couldn't be more blessed to be in the house of the Lord on the very last day of 2012, together with people I've known my whole life. Literally my whole life. Both family and friends. :)

And on New Year's day when everybody's enjoying sleeping in late, i woke up at 6:45am to go for a run and ride. Yes I am crazy that way. But sadly, there was a very bad pain in my right abdomen muscles (close to the waist). The pain was so bad I couldn't even run for 100 meters. :( Does anybody experience the same kind of pain? I don't know how it came about, and is so bad that when you sneeze, you just feel like passing out. Serious. So I ended up cycling which doesn't require me to move my abdomen muscles too much.

[Dreamer]

Year 2012 has been a really, really tough year. A year of change, a year of breaking, a year of moulding, a year of realization, a year of finding closure for certain things. And to be honest, it scares me just by thinking about 2013. That, I'll share more in another post. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has encouraged me, loved me, hurt me, break me, pissed me off, prayed for me, especially to the one who has always think that I'm an All-star (you know who you are)... Thank you. :) And to the Big Guy up there who has always been sheltering me with His loving hands, thank you. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for You. Time to let 2012 go, and move on to a new year. It's scary, but I know it's gonna be okay. 

It will be. 

Flashback (Part 1)

Finallyyyyyyyy. I could finally sit in front of my computer and try to update this blog. Hehe.
Firstly, I have to apologize because the things that you're gonna read later are way overdue. But I thought they're worth sharing, so let's go all the way back to Christmas........

Christmas was pretty special this year for many reasons:

#1. It was the 3rd, and also the final "Christmas with the Community Event" by my church, Tabernacle of Priase, for now. :) Who knows we might do it again in the future? :)
I get to relax a little bit more this year as I have another 5 emcees running the whole event together with me. So I get to run around and go kaypo at what others are doing. Tsk. :P

[Eeleen & Nic]

 

[All smiles. :) ]

[Cee Cee the clown. I hope I spelled her name correctly. LOL.]

[We also have NASAM over to talk about stroke prevention]

[TOP dance team :) ]

[Judges evalutating the children's coloring in the art competition]

I hope the 1600++ crowd were blessed through this event. I think the world has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas has become a reason for people to party, get drunk, exchange gifts (nothing wrong with this but it's not the core of Christmas), celebrate the existence of Santa Claus etc. But I hope through this event, they will be able to see the true meaning of Christmas - God's love. :)

#2. It was my first time winning something from those "What-are-the-odds-of-me-being-chosen" kind of competition. HAHA.

To know more about the competition, click here. And as for what I got........................................................

TAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ralph Lauren perfume!!!]

However, I was given the men's cologne (don't ask me why, maybe they took my wish a little too serious, and thought that I'm so smelly that only men cologne is strong enough for me. Hahahahaha.)

Nevertheless, THANK YOU RALPH LAUREN!!! And THANK YOU 1st Avenue mall!!! :)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

#3. Captain Awesome was in town. :)
He was sooooo busy being Captain A that he forgotten to get me a Christmas present. But then he did make it up by getting me a dress for work in the end la...:)

[His Christmas present: Naruto mini figurines set]

#4. Received Christmas presents that I really love! :)

This Lego Spiderman keychain is from Natasha. :)

[With great power, comes great responsibilities - Spiderman]

[Spiderman got caught on camera while in action!!]

[And this is from Daddy dearest. :) So pwettyyyyyyyyy.]

 [STITCH!!! :) This is from Yi Lin. A headphone jack plug. RAWRRRRRR!!!]

But sadly, my headphone jack is at the bottom, just like iPhone 5's. So I displayed it together with my other Stitch figurines. :) And yes..I bought myself a new phone months ago, as my Nokia E72's motherboard crashed. So nope. I'm no longer living in stone age. :P

[The thing that separated me from stone age: Samsung Galaxy S Advance]

#5. Last but not least, I get to spent quality time with my family this Christmas. Christmas has always been very busy for us and we never had the chance to "escape" the responsibilities given to us every Christmas. :P The same goes for this year. However, we took our chances and drove down to KL during the Christmas weekend.  :)

I'll Be Back

I've so much to tell you peeps but I'm just too busy lately...
So stay tune for my updates...
I'll be back. =)

Sick, AGAIN

Sigh. This is the 2nd time I've lost my battle to a cold in a month. I just recovered from bronchitis 2 weeks ago, and now here I am, coughing and  aching all over the body. :( Why oh why...

But I only have myself to blame for cycling under the rain last Saturday. Sigh. Didn't expect it to rain, it just poured suddenly, and I had no where to stop and hide. However, I never regretted my ride that day. Firstly, because I get to ride with my ever-so-adorable aunt; and 2ndly, I get to see so many road bikes on the road, as it was the Penang Pesta Cycling Open Championship!! :D I almost hit a divider 'cause I was busy staring at other people's bike. Hehe. And one of the cyclist thought I was one of the contestants and asked me where to get the jersey!! Hahaha!! I must have had the cyclist pro look! :P

[Sexy. All 3 of them. :P]

[Cyclists getting ready for the race]

[Cute g hotel logo :) ]

Went for lunch with parents in the afternoon after the morning ride, and I was immediately down with fever. My fever must have fried my brain 'cause I bought this pretty pricey little t-rex plush toy which I initially thought was a cute crocodile. =.="

[Meet Rexy the green dinosaur]

Please get well soon... Christmas is just around the corner... Don't let the coughing spoil this wonderful season...*Fingers cross*

You're Only 18 and 2* Once

I am again and again reminded by this little girl, who never fails to make me laugh, that I only live once. :)

Yesterday, Natasha and I were at 1st Avenue Mall. After a movie, as we were about to go home, we came across this super tall pink Christmas tree in the middle of the mall. Apparently, 1st Avenue was having this contest where any purchase of RM10 and above in a single receipt from any shops in 1st Avenue, you're entitled to participate in this competition, which you write your wish on this pink candy cane, and the 20 most creative wishes stand a chance to win a Ralph Lauren perfume. :)

[Pink candy cane]

I'm the kind who usually ignores such contest, 'cause.. What are the odds right?? My chances of winning are probably 1 in a million, so I usually don't waste my effort. But Nat being Nat, she was so excited about it so I just went along with it. :) 

 [My wish. HAHA!]

 [Nat :) ]

I convinced Nat to hang our candy cane at the highest peak, hoping that the organizer would see how sincere we are and we'd probably get chosen. LOL. When Nat climbed to the highest peak, the guard ran to us and shouted at us in hokkien: "Mai pek ah neh kuan!! Ka teng pa to lok lai tu cham!!" (It means "Don't climb so high, later you'd fall!") Haha. He shouted so loud that almost everyone in the mall were staring at us. 

Awesome dy la...famous dy la both of us. Probably got black listed for doing monkey business dy. Pffffft. :P

[That's how tall the Christmas tree is]

One candy cane wasn't enough for that day. So we went into another shop, spend another RM10 and had another candy cane. This time, it was Nat's turn to write her wish. Which I won't tell you what it is here, later she sue me for blogging about her wish without her consent :P Hehe.

That's it for now peeps! Will write soon. :)

First Ride

Went cycling with the boys for the first time yesterday. I was really, really nervous and scared 'cause it was my first time cycling on Penang roads. And if you've been to Penang, you'd know how crazy our traffic is, and how insane our drivers are, and how narrow our roads were made.

We started off from Gurney plaza at 7am. Weather was great, not too hot. Perfect for cycling. :)

The boys were really nice for waiting for me along the way and not leaving me behind though I was really slow. Haha. Deswyn was worried that I'll be bored cycling without someone in front of me (as the rest of them were already way ahead), so he overtook me and let me follow him. (But I know he secretly wants me to check out his b**t. HAHA.) Which made me even more depressed 'cause he made me realize how slow I was. =.="

Jason and Deswyn didn't manage to finish the route 'cause poor lil' Jason's tyre puncture along the way. =/ So Des had to cycle back home to get his car and fetch him and the bike home.

Overall. it was a good ride for a newbie and first timer. The hike up to Teluk Bahang dam was manageable. *Prouds* Dreamer did well too. *Double prouds* :)

[Calvin & Benson]

[Yours truly & Dreamer]

Special thanks to Deswyn, Calvin, Jason and Benson for making this ride a memorable one. :)
