Today was not a very good day for me. Started off with the phone ringing incessantly while I was still in bed at 10 or so in the morning. Parents weren't in I think, and my sister was as dead as a log to wake up. So nobody picked it up and it kept on ringing. I tak kisah only la, cause I was seriously too tired to get up to answer some stupid call, probably some ah so asking my mom to buy kangkong in the market or whatever. I went back to sleep and then once again I was jolted awake by the phone. Cannot tahan d, so I kicked my sister's butt hoping she'd get up to answer it and leave me in peace once and for all, but like I mentioned before, she was as dead as a log. Kick also cannot wake up. So I got up to answer it myself. Turned out to be my aunt asking what time my dad was going over to pick them up and whether I was going out with them. SWT!!! We were supposed to fetch my aunt for breakfast then help her get her IC done up and then go to PJ to jalan jalan. I initially told her I didn’t want to go cos today was supposed to be a rest day for me. Then I went back to sleep and after some time my mom came in and made me wake up to go for dim sum with them. Told her I didn’t want to, but then later my dad enticed me with some story about going to the Digital Mall in SS14 to look at handphones. I was kind of pumped lah, so I made myself wake up even though I slept at 3am yesterday. Yawn! We ended up going to Petaling Street instead of Digital Mall. Sigh. So we went for breakfast (NOT dim sum cause it was closed-I should have known it wasn't gonna be a good day), then we took my aunt to get her IC done. The first person we met at the information counter was this really irritable Malay woman who seemed to be having PMS and couldn’t be bothered to answer our question civilly. Not like it’d take up your life to smile and at least be nice to people. But she basically snapped at us for being “late” and told my aunt off for having “rambut merah” and told us to sit down and wait and that it’d be none of her business if my aunt’s IC takes 3 months to be done instead of the usual one month because we were “late”. Hello? Late? We were there at 12.30pm and the jabatan closes at 5pm. What was that all about?! I bet she was just too lazy to layan us lah. And then we wanted to clarify some things with her and she just ignored us. Like we weren’t even there. My gosh. I tell you. I was so pissed at her ok. I even told my aunt I wish I could’ve snapped her photo and send it to the authorities to complain or something. I had to keep reminding myself about WWJD to keep my emotions in check. I wanted to scream at her. Babi. For all their crap about service with a smile and Tahun Melawat Malaysia and all that, they can’t even be bothered to treat their fellow citizens with some respect. No wonder Malaysia never progresses. Oops, am I gonna be put in jail for that above rant?!

Anyway, that was that. Just writing it down made my blood boil again. So let’s forget that and move on and hope I don't get put in jail for criticizing the government servants. We went to Petaling Street after that. And it just HAD to rain today of all days. We were wet and uncomfortable and to top it all off, the food at the place we ate in was crap AND expensive. And I didn’t buy anything also cause I wasn’t in the mood to walk around due to the rain and water puddles everywhere. And chee cheong kai isn’t the cleanest of places mind you. When it rains the ground turns black with water and all that. Eww.

Then we came home and went for dinner. Which was the only good thing to come out of today. Sigh. The internet connection also so slow today. And tomorrow I have to go to work again. Double sigh. Didn’t want to and still don’t want to, but have to coz the doctor is short of staff. How sweet. So anyway people, have a great day tomorrow, and don’t let my negative rambling influence your day. Have fun!! =)

It was a very precious time for me because it's not often that the whole family on my dad's side gets together to talk and fellowship and stuff ourselves with food, plus, my tuaku and tuakim and Cindy on my mom's side joined us this year. ANND it's my dad's birthday today! The food was good man! I haven't eaten such a heavy dinner in months, so stuffing myself to the brim was fun. haha. Just have time to upload a few pics from my aunt's cam and I'll be leaving for MELAKAAAAAAA tomorrow! Sorry I don't have time to post messages on my chatbox. Will do that when I get home. Oh, and for those still waiting for retreat pics...hehe...;p In the meantime, Happy CNY everybadeh!

Me and Jess. Dexter's singing in the background. Kwang Yew killing a cockroach
OK peeps, I'm going out for dinner now, so the rest of the pics upload later k. In installments. hahaha. Chow!

Happy Valentine's Day!!


Attn POH LEONG and WEI LOONG. I know you guys are dying to be seen on my blog, but sorry man, you gotta wait. There are more important things to blog about today...Like...

My valentine!!!
Har har. Naah, this leng chai is my brother, William… For those of you who have never seen my bro, NAH. I haven’t taken a picture with him since…I can’t even remember when. So it was nice to camwhore with him today…hehe

THIS is his valentine, Karen.
3 of us camwhoring...This is the best shot we got.

This one failed cos my bro looks like he's taking drugs.

Then after that he paranoid d. Open eyes big big. hahaha. But then Karen's face got cut off a bit...

Me and Karen. She's such a sweetie!
We were at the airport today to receive my aunt back from New York. She was supposed to land at 7am. My brother made me wake up at 5am, so at 5.15 or so I jumped out of bed and got ready hurriedly and rushed to the airport and reached there at 6.30. We ended up waiting for more than an hour for my aunt to selamba-ly walk out to the arrival hall. Haiyo, should have let me sleep more right. Then my bro cari pasal, park the car right in front of the airport gate and kena saman. It was SO GOOOOOOOD to see my aunt again. Man I miss her so much! She left for New York when I was 3 and I haven’t seen her since. So when I net her, I hugged her so tight and started to cry. A bit ny la. Then we rushed to my bro’s working place in Damansara, and then Karen sent us home and I spent the rest of the afternoon with my 2 aunts, talking and catching up with each other. Although I have never been close to my NY aunt because of the distance, but I can already feel the connection with her. She’s wonderful to talk to, a real joy to be with. AND she’s just like me, she loves to go out shopping and jalan jalan and bowling(!) I’ve only ever bowled once, and even then also most of it masuk longkang wan…but I told her I’ll bring her lah. I’m gonna miss her so much when she goes back!!
I couldn't get a shot of my aunt at the airport cos I malas to wait with my camera for her to walk out of the arrival hall, but I caught this picture at home. Then I wanted to take another shot with her but then she said she never wash face, looks very oily, so cannot -.-"' So this is the best I got. That's my brother's very smelly dog, Jimmy. Loves licking people all over. But I won't let him do it to me cos he's so smelly. So he found his victim.

We're going out to makan later, so might take more pic-chas! Till the next post, bubbye! Oh, and you two, don't worry lah, I'll upload retreat pictures wan...If I'm not too lazy ;p

I found this pic on Shan Min's Friendster page!


Oh yeah. I was gonna ramble on about me not packing yet even though I'm leaving in 2andahalf hours time for a faraway place...but then I clicked on Shan Min's page and I found this photo which I couldn't even remember being in. I DO remember where we were though...we were in Pizza Hut celebrating our Melbourne win and I just looooove the pic cos we're all smiling like there's no tomorrow...hahaha. I can't remember myself having a bob! Oh! And Siew Leng's wearing my favourite shirt if you notice carefully...hahaha. And look at how we arranged the pizza slices...haha. Aww...I miss that time, and this really slow song I'm listening to isn't exactly helping to push away all feelings of nostalgia...I love all of you girls!! (Where's Pearly??!) Muacksy!!
Anyway, I'll be going to MELAAAAKAAAAA later for Rangers Gold Bar Retreat this weekend so I won't be blogging for a day. (roll eyes, not that I blog everyday also right) I'm expecting to have fun, fun and more fun! I always always always look forward to going back to Melaka. That place holds loads of fond memories for me. I'll devote a whole post to my childhood experiences there one of these days to get myself psyched up for the trip back to Melaka for CNY. Till the next post (hopefully there'll be pictures of the retreat), have fun being stuck in good old Klang all you Klangites! I gotta go PACK, and BATHE! =)

I have not blogged about 50 hour Prayer Praise Prophesying and Preaching! Was going to, but I got caught up with the Kumon Kids. hehe.

The 50 hour service finally ended on Sunday night with Pastor Victor prophesying, and it was a great end to the 50 hours of PPPP. We saw God moving in a mighty way. People were healed, some were given gifts of the spirit, many received prophesies, and some were touched by the Holy Spirit, all over the place. It was awesome to see God manifesting His power and might. I was standing there hoping to sort of receive a sign/miracle/anything or just get slain, but although I didn't receive it, I know God was moving in my life in His own special way. My mom was slain though, super kau, just fell down on the seat and crashed into the auntie behind. Then when she was walking out to the altar, again, just, BOOM! Fell down. My dad helped her to get up after that, but then again she fell suddenly, ON HIM, so both of them tumbled down to the ground. Hello? Stop laughing you reader! Sounds funny but it wasn't! hahaha. So the third time I helped my dad to pick her up. Good thing my mom didn't fall on me and crush my bones or something. haha.

I've always wondered what it is like to REALLY be slain. I mean, I have fallen a few times, but I never could really tell whether it was from the Holy Spirit or simply because the pastor was pushing me and I gave in knowing that there was someone behind me to catch me. Which makes me feel really stupid in the end. But I'm sure most of us have had this experience, going down without really experiencing the real thing. I'm still believing one day I'll truly experience the real feeling of being slain. (Please God, slain me one of these days!)

So anyway, it was good to pray like...THAT(sorry can't find a better adjective) and not be complacent in our prayers. Many times we take things for granted and become complacent in our walk with the Lord, like, well! I'm sure God knows my heart's desire and He'll bless me. I don't have to pray the same prayers all the time. But what we don't realise is that when we pray, things CHANGE in the atmosphere. We do spiritual warfare with the devil and many things or blessings which have been robbed from us are restored in Jesus' name. THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS! I'm so glad I serve such a mighty and wonderful God. Not always a High-Above-All-Else-God kind of GOD (I mean, He IS,) but my God is also my best friend, my saviour, my daddy, my provider, my protector, my provider, my everything. Thank you Lord! =)

Fast forward to yesterday alright? Guess who I saw in Jusco? Well, a lot of people lah, I mean, when u go to Jusco you definitely see all of Klang there. Let me name you some of the people I saw (or didn't see but I know they were there ;p) There was Carrie, Cerdwin, Goh Yew Chang, Commander Herbert, The guy from 5S2 whats-his-name, another girl from Kwang Hua, my mom's friend, my mom's other friend, and the people I didn't see: Poh Leong was there, who told me he saw Joel and Gretchen. BUT! I saw some other people whom you guys probably wouldn't believe I saw. har har.

I saw...PROPHET VICTOR'S WIFE ANITA, and the PASTOR'S SISTER WHO SINGS SOOOO WELL, and PASTOR ISAAC. Shopping! So many plastic bags they had ok. My mom semangat, go up to the sister who sings well and started talking to her and telling her we're from Grace Assembly and asked Anita how many kids she and Prophet Victor have and all. (They have 2, 1 more in the tummy) And I just stood there smiling goofily, like star-struck or something. hahaha. oh btw, Prophet Victor wasn't there lah. I would probably have made my mom turn the other way if he was. hahah. (sorry ah God, please don't tell him i said that)

So yeah, I finally got the SIYAN-INTRODUCED WEDGES from Vincci ;p so I've completed shopping in Klang, and I'm looking forward to my next shopping trip in MELAKAAAAAA!!!! Mahkota Parade, Pahlawan Mall, Jonker Street, here I come!!!

Kumon sorta rocks these days.

Especially when this really really Indian kid walks in looking all spiffy, like going to a wedding or something, and wears a RING on his engagement finger and the first thing he does when he walks into class is go...

*extends hand with huge ring to shake my ringless hand*
*In the very adorable kiddo style Indian drawl*
"Chinese New Year teacher"...

(Yeah, doesn't make sense cause it's supposed to be HAPPY Chinese New Year. But it's ok. It's the thought that counts)

And I almost want to hug him cause he's the only entertainment I've had all evening holed up in there starving like nobody's business. But that's not all. He continues...

"I like Chinese New Year teacher"
"Hahahaha. Really? Why?"
"My father go and take all the oranges back teacher, a lot in my house! So many!"
"Really? That's good!"
"Teacher you know where I going for Chinese New Year teacher?"
"Where??"

*He looks at me all wide eyed*

I was expecting something like Paris, or Hawaii, or at the very least, Genting lah you know. But then he says...

"Pandamaran"

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH. Can die laughing!!!!!

I love Visagen. He's loud, adorable and just, Indiany in a very cute way. I'm starting to really like Thaipusam. =)

And then there's Brian Thong. THE kid who lights up my days at Kumon. Goes for gymnastics, has a personal driver, super duper hyper rich, has blond streaks in his hair (YESH! a 6 year old kid ok. I'm so ashamed of myself), very smart and self motivated, and he still manages to be the most adorablest kid in Kumon. No airs, no arrogance, no nothing. Just plain kiddo style ignorance and adorability. Oh did I mention very good looking too?And I was thinking, just give him ten years max lah. Girls are gonna be swooning at his feet man. He just told me today he's going to Sri KDU next year. Man, I was so excited! Not like I've already started coll or anything. But still. High chance of me bumping into him marh....hahaha.

P/S: To whom it may concern.
Glad things are cleared up! Buddy buddy! You cook for me I cook for you! hahahhaa....
