relieved....

currently not in the blogging mood, but i just wanna post a post.. funny how i didn't blog about my examination results this time like how i used to for the past exams.. checked my results for the first time in college..incase you don't know, it's for the 2 papers i sat for last december.. i usually check it at home, late at night and i decided to check it with my friends in college this time and the outcome was good..

it's truly by God's grace that i've passed.. not smart, not hardworking.. just blessed.. He showered me with His blessings continuously, despite how often i've failed Him.. what more can i ask?? and i still need to learn to be more grateful in life..

the business workshop thing is officially over.. no more brain cracking report to do.. we spent 1 hour presenting our post business results, basically we were being questioned more than presenting what we were supposed to and it's funny how i kinda enjoyed it.. made me ponder and learn from the mistakes i've made...

i'll be off to kl for youth encounter tomorrow evening.. not really prepared for it but i guess i will be eventually..

i feel so tired right now.. so that's all for now.. till then !!

p/s. people make new year resolutions, i've made my march resolution - start studying hard and smart...

p/s/s. don't get disappointed when God doesn't give you what you want for He knows when's the best time for you to have it.

a little bit of faith...

Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20 -

p/s. found this verse on an angpow packet and i fell in love with it immediately.. so encouraging indeed.. a little bit of faith is all we need...

Tiger-ific 2010

it's the hottest and warmest time of the year again.. the heat is really killing me.. and when the weather gets extremely hot, it acts as a reminder for me that chinese new year is here.. i realised that i actually have at least one chinese new year post each year since i started blogging especially reunion dinner pictures except year 2006.. type "reunion" in the search box above and you'll know.. too lazy to link those posts =p

therefore, this year shall be no exception and there goes...

PRE CNY 2010

my sis and i usually prepare a few dishes for reunion dinner each year.. a lot of hassle - marketing list, chicken and fish washing and packing etc.. someone suggested we have steamboat this year.. being lazy and to save all the hassle, we agreed to it.. hehe..

not zero preparation but just less hours spent in the kitchen compared to previous years... and so the pictures mainly consist of raw food unlike previous years...


black pepper sausages, chicken meatballs, salmon meatballs and my favourite crab sticks =)

homemade chicken+fish+prawn balls..


my first attempt of fried wanton on my own and i'd consider it a success =) hehe.. that shall be my new specialty.. mom's recipe though..


tomyam soup...


salad leaves...


i never knew bihun could be that filling.. oh yeah, we had eggs too..


our reunion dinner...


first angpow of the year from my mom.. super duper cute red packets !!

when it comes to any festive seasons, the one which suffers the most emotionally and mentally is my dog.. the distant sound of the firecrackers terrifies her each year..


her desperate attempt to come into my house...

grandma came over late at night and will be staying over for the next few days.. eventually slept at 3am and i think it's been a while since i last slept at 3am..

CNY 2010

went to church in the morning as service is on regardless of what festival it is.. over the week, i've been wondering how many would actually turn up on sunday since most of them would be busy visiting or going back to their hometowns..

i was amazed and deeply moved to see the congregation.. the sanctuary was almost filled with people.. coming to seek God on the very first day of chinese new year.. indeed, seek ye first the kingdom of God.. even my grandma followed us to church though she couldn't really understand the language spoken..


this was just part of it... headed to my grandaunt and granduncle's house after church and had lunch there..


spritzer pop's new packing.. kinda cute though.. hehe.. and somehow, it's the drink we have only once a year..

went nowhere else after that as my uncle came to visit.. spent the warm afternoon at home.. had dinner in the nearby old town kopitiam since we had no idea which chinese hawker stall would be opened... then we went to a church friend's house and this was what he served us...


red wine..!


bad shot of my glass of red wine.. i'm absolutely not a fan of red wine though.. never liked it.. just can't stand the smell and the taste... but oh well, it's not something i get to drink always.. hehe.. spritzer pop in the afternoon, red wine at night =)

visitations are getting less and less each year unlike when we were really young, we used to go out early in the morning and come home late in the evening.. those were the days...

guess that's all for now.. sorry to bore you if i did cause it's past 2am now and my brain ain't functioning well to blog more creatively..

i hereby wish everyone A VERY HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR AND MAY YOU HAVE A FRUITFUL YEAR AHEAD FILLED WITH LOTS OF LOVE, HOPE AND JOY.

and not forgetting, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE !!! valentine's day is not just for couples but for everyone - both family and friends.. and you know what? the next time cny falls on valentine's day will be 37 years later and it occurs only once in 40 years..

till then !

the unending list...

i've said it once, i've said it twice..maybe thrice and i just can't stop saying it.. busy busy busy... so much to do.. it's like never ending.. my to-do list just goes on and on.. the carrying out of the business is now over but the whole thing is not over yet and i've got more to do besides that..

- post business results
- moral presentation - benefits/advantages of abortion.. i don't even agree with abortion, how am i supposed to present that?? it's supposed to be a debate though.. my group unfortunately had to be the proposition team..
- house cleaning
- CF meeting
- study, study and study.....

all within this week and i guess studying will definitely be struck off.. i shall continue searching for points for moral presentation now.. till then !
