I was in cousins car...going back to the house to get my phone because I forgot it...
Got one plump aunty wearing pink top, pink pants, holding pink umbrella on pink bicycle. Other aunty next to her wearing red top, red pants, holding red umbrella on red bicycle. They are both talking, oblivious there is a car behind them... with me laughing inside the car!
It was a sight I have never seen before... couldn't stop laughing everytime I think of that. My cousin thought I was wierd. But true... you never get to see that kind of thing in Australia!
*highlight of my trip to Malaysia*
SAD I couldn't take a picture since I forgot my phone... it's only a memory now.

One Year Without Facebook Project
In April 2009, I went on a mission. To quit Facebook - the evil of all time wasters!!! Initially, I set out to quit for one month...to test the waters, to see if I could even achieve life without facebook for a month. One month, turned into two months, turned into 3 months... and now I'm just 1 week shy of no facebook for ONE YEAR (well, sort of - I did cheat a little bit)!
I wonder what has changed on facebook? I wonder how many new people I have met since a year ago? Do people still poke each other? Or do people still play fluff pets or Texam Poker or... that stupid vampire thing? Gosh, it seems so childish now...
What did I miss about facebook the most? Probably checking out people's photos above all. Life without facebook meant you recieved information MUCH slower... but that was ok, I had a FB spy the entire time. My spy updated me only on the juicy bits :P
The past year without facebook has actually been really eye-opening - I'm not sure if that's the word to use. 2009 was a challenging year, a lot happened and life without facebook was probably good, in the sense that I didn't have to waste time using it. I had a lot ministry things to do to keep me busy, so for months on end, I even forgot that facebook existed, and I also stopped facebooking at work :O... and actually did some work! :)
My hope is that...I will not be the same facebook user one year ago.
See you all in one week :)

First day in the land of monkeys and humidity...
It still feels surreal that I'm back in Malaysia. It's been just over 2 years since I've been back and it never ceases to amaze me how dirty and unorganised Malaysia seems compared to Perth. Theres no logic, no sequence and no rules - especially on the roads. I miss Perth :)
So anyway, I got to the Perth airport, spent an eternity in the queue waiting to check in. The process was simple :) Called Shin Woei to update on the latest goss!!! :P Garry proposed to Adeline - congratulations!!!
On the plane, I was seated in the last row, 41G... I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but at least I was next to the aisle, close to the toilets and close to the emergency exits :) Though, last to leave the plane and last to get my food - I had to have the chicken briyani because that's all that was left! I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks 2... average. Spent the entire trip freezing, even wearing a jumper and using the MAS blanket! Blocked up nose, watched a bit of avatar then tried to sleep...
Was super anxious that I might get lost at KLIA. I never traveled alone internationally before. Jack's advice to me before I left, "You mustn't look lost and innocent, you must look like a BEAST!" Well... phail... because I wore a pink jumper, and generally I look pretty blur if I'm alone, but I kept reminding myself I needed to look beasty so I wouldn't get conned! Anyway, MAS is pretty high tech now, they had a video prior to landing "How to walk through KLIA"...in the end, I didn't get lost! yay!
First meal... had roti goreng and teh tarik... hmmm wasn't much help for my sore throat. Got back to fuzz's place and showered and downed heaps of meds. Tried to sleep but couldn't sleep until 4am. Blocked nose, cold and hot, mosquitoes drinking my blood from arms, legs and FACE!!! garh!! Nose bleed in the morning.... sien. Whattta time to get sick eh?
Nothing that retail therapy couldn't help :) Went to Sunway Pyramid today. Spent 2 hours trying to find topshop. In the end, there was nothing there nice to buy. Disappointment isn't even a word to describe how I felt! I got new bvlgari's which will be ready on Friday :) and got some stuff from MNG and Forever21. It's seriously a maze out there... and the fashion is completely different to Perth. Gah. Couldn't really find what I wanted.
Tomorrow... 1Utama... yay!!! Can't wait... hopefully there is more stuff to be bought! My parents are in Malaysia on Tuesday!
Still have not got bridesmaid shoes... STRESS. Also, Fuzz suddenly appointed me as wedding planner with one weeks notice! Wah! The process of Asian weddings is completely different from Western weddings. Western weddings have order, schedules and time-slots.... Fuzz's wedding plan seems to be... "go with the flow..." hmm.... my mind is a scatter at the moment, trying to think how I can put it all together!!!
I'm ready for more shopping tomorrow!!! Going to have Japanese buffet tomorrow. Diet plan phail. Oh well.
Time to sleep. End.

It's been a while...
It's been a while since I last updated. Summer has gone and Autumn has arrived...and my time has just been consumed with....too many things.
Much has happened since the month of November 2009!
Early January, we had the video shoot for the Masquerade Cruise. The video shoot was lots of fun behind the scenes making everyone look elegant and demure. My cousin looked THE BEST!!! :P
Check out one of the three videos here:
On February 26, 2010, we had the rivercruise which was lots of fun and stress. I only had one picture taken of me ... and I looked terrible after all the running around getting people on and off the boat - and making sure there is no more naked people on the boat! No posting of photo here :)
In other news, Backstreet Boys came to Perth for the first time ever. My first love in 1998! Well they came 12 years too late... and I didn't end up going to their concert. Oh wells :( Times have changed since then.
After the Rivercruise, it was a short ONE month until Passion Easter Retreat! I hadn't planned anything until then so it was a frantic and stressful month :) I have to say though, I'm really really really priveledged to be able to organise events in church. God knows how much I love it. The stress, the anguish, the tears, the challenges, the happiness, the joy, the satisfaction. In the end, it is all worth it when we are able to bring more to Christ. This year we had 5 salvations! PTL! And megapraise was awesome to say the least.
Credits to Kelvin Fok for all the photos. Here are my Passion kids :) 220 of them!!! Can you spot me?! (I feel old attending Passion Camp!)
And here is my other baby :) Little Miss Snotty who caught a cold during Easter Service and still wanted to play with the water at Camp. I had to baby sit for a while, whilst the rest of the campers played DIRTY games!! :P Thank God I had higher duties looking after the PA equipment, otherwise I'm pretty sure the entire camp would sabo me and drag me into the ocean. Eww.
and here is my BFF Miss Queen :) Love it @ Easter Service. Looking pretty as always. Awesome awesome awesome choir!
As for my OTHER BFF.... sorry no pics. She must've been too busy with her MAN :P jk
So what's next?
I'm flying to Malaysia tomorrow for 12 days!!! I have not yet packed!!! Fuzz's wedding is ON -- and... well my walking shoes are going to be on fire too the minute I enter the shopping malls :P Can't wait.
