ROOTED Appreciation Dinner.

Youth Camp 2014 was weeks ago. Wuuuut! Don't know why good times always seem to go by quicker eh. Pffft.

Anyways, we had our annual appreciation dinner last night and no, this time no choo char. We all had two in one bbq steamboat. How to have choo char within the budget with 20 hungry youth?! How?!

Most of the group leaders joined us this time and I would like to think that they all had a lot of fun cooking on their own and eating their end product, while sweating away :)

I think it must be the age because I used to enjoy this kind of meal gatherings. Now, I just want to sit down in an aircond room and be served. Hah. Instead of sweating inside out, eating burnt meat or overcooked vege in tomyam soup. Oh ya by the way, INDY COOKS REALLY YUMMY BUTTER CHICKEN/FISH/VEGE! Okaylah, last night I'm quite okay because Indy cooked and took the drinks for me. My favourite number four indeed :)

Ended the night with a glass of Iced Mocha at Coffee Elements, All Seasons.

Good Sunday is good.

Different and New.

Just like that, it's already second day of the new year.

"It has been 22 hours since 2014 hit us." My dad said last night after grocery shopping at Tesco.

Then, it really shook me. It's seriously the second day already today?

I spent my whole night last night doing don't know what. I know for sure I wasn't sleeping. I was awake, scratching my head and my fingers, constantly looking at the windows to see if the sun is up, looked at my phone a thousand times but did not once went into any social media. It hit me. The reality of 2014 hit me in the middle of the night. What a perfect timing.

Year in, year out. Just like that, 25 years of my life passed. TWENTY FIVE! Seriously? I'm so not anywhere near ready to be 26 and more. 25 has gotta be my maximum age. Haha. Growing old is too painful. At least I look younger than my real age la so it isn't that bad as I thought it would be. 

Anyways, since this is the first post of 2014, it's different :)

This post is actually dedicated to a good friend whom I've worked alongside with for the past 10 years. One decade man. That's crazy stuff. For a whole stretch of 10 years, it has always been great to be serving God with this man. It's not always oh-we-work-so-well-together-that-we-never-argue kind, but it is we-help-each-other-to-grow and God-experienced kind. We have our ups and downs. Many many of ups and downs actually. But at the end of the day, we still enjoy each other's company in serving the fireBRANDS. Despite the many differences, we always manage to work things as a team. 

Then, last night after saying a few really nice things in our fireBRANDS Council group chat, he left. I'm not saying it as a bad thing. I guess when I saw 'Leroy left', it hit me even more that 2014 is going to be a different and new. 

Different because the one person that I go to everytime I needed to make a fireBRANDS-related decision or anything of the ministry, it's him I go to, the wise man. And now, it's different. Not that I don't go to the other two handsome councils. It's just different. It's not a bad-different. It's just different.

New because I'm like the last one from the senior time that still serves the young people. WHY YOU ALL LEAVE ME! WHYYY!? Kiddinglah. I miss all of you, crazy bunch of humans. Judson.. Daniel.. Leroy.. Ian.. Salako..

So yeah. One thing I'm thankful for, is the friendship that I've gained despite of the decisions that were made two years ago. Le Roy, you have been a blessing from up above to not only me but also Adrian. And WhatTwoEatHere (in case you all didn't know, Le Roy designed our name card for us). It's been so goood working alongside with you :) We are excited to see what God has planned for you and you're gonna be great because you are specially marked by Him :)

Friendship of 12 years and many more years to come :)

Try not to cry Le Roy. Now you got no choice but to read my blog! Muahaha!

Apple and Cars and Christmas Dinners.

Now that I've gotten use (kinda) to using this apple thing, I find it super annoying that to transfer photos and videos, it has to be via itunes. My only problem now is I haven't even downloaded them into my laptop and I have no idea at all how to use it.

That explains why my blog is so empty these few weeks. Also, www.whattwoeathere.com!

I have photos since Christmas and it's now all stuck in the goldii. 

Aiyaaa! Tomorrow only do lah since I half day leave! :)

Outstation cars, would you please just park your car in the shopping malls and only leave when the rest of the real Penang people are home and away from the streets. Thank you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I decided to blog about all my Christmas dinners tonight since I'm watching Men In Black 3 and my hands are kinda free. 

The photos will be in random (as usual) because I'm seriously too lazy to do it in orders. Maybe I should really post an update on a dinner next time, instead of combining all into one. Heh.

Alright, so this year there were so the very many dinners that I went to. Eat non-stop I tell you. It's crazee because the food were so amazingly delicious and for sure, the kilograms naik like mad also.

Okay, so here are some photos. Very very few because I err.. I don't know why.. I just don't feel like posting a lot?

Crazy how time sneakily passes through. Pfft.

But.

I really really want to post up photos and blog about Christmas. 

Really really want to.

But.

The celebration of the birth of the Perfect Man isn't near over yet.

So many dinners in the span of few days.

Will be back soon.

I need to get back all the sleep I missed.

Five S.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

The Last Month.

Oh wow.

It has been way too long since I came here. Wow.

I so miss this place. This precious place.

So, what have been taking all my time that I have none at all to come in here and post something?

Err.. Quite a lot I think. I'll just be UNorganized and simply put up photos NOT according to the actual timeline.

Vanessa Khoo kena dengue.

Our first Indian Wedding punya ceremony.

Worked two days at Queensbay Mall for this amazing brand.

Watched 50 young kids over lunch and ride to Harvard Golf & Country Resort.

Last night's supper at the hall where everyone had their 30 seconds of going crazy :)

Trafalgar Launching at The Suffolk House. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL!

Steven and Petch's Rocking Wedding at Hard Rock Hotel.

I believe I have more things in this last month, but since the phone that I'm currently using is not very camera-friendly so yeah. And also I don't know where are all the Whatsapp photos in this phone. Can't seem to view them when I connect it to the computer. Bleh.

This month hasn't even end yet and there's too many things going on already. Also, December is like the best month ever because the perfect man was born. But then again, it's also the month where the pocket gets empty faster than all the months combined. Hahaha.

I had so much fun wrapping the gifts for my family and friends, though Vanessa actually did more of the folding of the mini bags and mom helped me with the boys' gift wrapping. Oklah, I'm super blessed. Koay sumore do all the cutting papers and putting tapes on them :)

I practically just put the gifts into the mini bags and sealed them. Hahaha.

I foresee more posts coming because tis' the season to be jolly! Falalala.. lalalala.

Where Got.

Where got mood to do anything today! Camp is like hours away. 

More like a week-long-holiday awaits :)

Working for twelve hours since yesterday isn't all that bad.

Got live drama for us to watch, right in front of where our booth is located. There's just this one girl who lifeless-ly sits on the bench in front of us whole day doing nothing since Thursday except looking at her Samsung and eat her tapau-ed food there and then, while waiting for her friend who works in Body Glove, who also appears to be like her boyfriend tomboi style. So yeah.

They even argued last night, which had the girl ended up crying. Both also girls la okay. Both also having hormones change.

But good lah cos then time for us passed very quickly.

Now, I just had to post something because I'm so restless and tired now. 

I need more sleep than I thought. 

This is torturing.
