Uncle Pradeep Kumar & Aunt Fadzilah Mavani 20th wedding anniversary

I was too busy & tired to write this post on tht day & week.. Tht's y I'm only writing it now.  First of all, Eze came back on the 19th a day after the rest of his family came back cause he flew from France.. It was an awesome anniversary.. They (Uncle Pradeep & Aunt Fadzilah) couldn't have it before because they haven't been happier during their marriage because of all the things tht happened around them so this was their first anniversary tht was celebrated with joy & happiness. It was a 2 day event with 2 different themes. The first day was Indian but I didn't go because I had a Christmas Eve service in church tht night & anyways I don't have Indian clothes.

The 2nd day was Malay. Well, my mum wore a 'kebaya' (Malay traditional dress) & I wore my graduation clothes.. I went early cause Eze wanted to watch a movie but I arrived to Crowne Plaza KL later than expected and (Malaysian time) I got to know his cousins from New Zealand but lives in Australia. They're Jayesh, Ramesh, Jivan, Priya & Ashwin. Eze had one of a best rooms there, the toilet was amazing! Jivan & Ashwin went with us to Pavilion for lunch and couldn't decide where to eat and chose Tony Roma's. I mistaken Jayesh for Jivan's dad cause he looks so matured that he could be his dad =.=' Tony Roma's is famous for ribs but we ate burgers & pasta instead =.=' During lunch, Zuba bragged about his so called 'cool' life where he didn't go school, drinks Beck's (a German beer), smoke cigarettes but I think he smokes paper, hangs out with random people, has 2 friends (Eze & I) only and so many more things. After lunch, we went back to Eze's room and played the PS3 till he had to get ready for the anniversary, he wore a suit with a bow tie.

I was waiting for my clothes cause when I came over, I forgot to bring it so mum brought it later. Zuba had his on from the beginning of the day. So, we went to the highest floor where the anniversary was held at 8pm. Priya greeted us all cause I think she was the greeter or something.. They were all dressed beautifully including myself!! Jasmine was the MC and she told the story of how they met and etc etc.. (It'll be an essay if I wrote the story here) They weren't any happier on any other day compared to this fateful day!!  The food was good too plus the entertainment by Adibah Noor & some guy called Jay Jay.. Then, when the anniversary was over, they opened up the dance floor so a few is us (the teens only) danced all night long till 3 am! Eze & I called room service after going back to the room and Zuba went home on his bike after the dance.. I slept at about 4 and Eze slept about 6 cz he was on his PS3..

APYAC 2009

The NexGen youths with youths from other churches attended this conference called Asian Pacific Youth Alive Conference or APYAC in short.. It was held at Glad Tidings A/G on the 10-12 Dec.. It was the most wonderful and awesomest conference I've ever been to. I even met Lionel there! We had several Pastors as speakers for the conference.. But of all the Pastors, Pastor Mike Pilavachi was the best!

There were so many people there from all over Asia Pacific. There were 29 nations in total. I was amazed at the number of the delegates from each of the nations. Pastor Mike told us about how he touch a man's life by just offering him Diet Coke & paying the toll for the car behind him. There was a message from each of the story he told us. He was quite a comedian but his messages were powerful! He even has a Facebook account!

I made several friends from Charis Christian Center but didn't manage to get their numbers and emails. =.='. Nonetheless, I took several photos with the foreign delegates from Japan, Pastor Mike, the members from 'Brad & Rebekah'. 'Brad & Rebekah' was one of the best bands that performed there. Their songs were great indeed. I got myself a copy of their latest album. They're from the US..

The band from Japan were also great! They wrote this song called 'Drive Your DNA'. They were from the church in Osaka, Japan. The band from Indonesia performed as well. They taught us the "dangdut" dance which was a dance originated from Indonesia. The team from Africa taught us the African dance. Not forgetting one last band, The Youth Alive band!! They performed on the first day and the 3rd Revival Night. Summing it all up, all the bands were awesome!! I had a really great time and God's presence was so great there! I can't wait for the next one in 2012!

Last day of SPM!!!

The day had arrived finally! The last day of SPM!! Of course all of us were excited. The 2 last papers were Commerce paper 1 & 2. Surprisingly, I woke up early but arrived school late cz I was putting my lens on. I arrived school at 8.15 am so I was 15 mins late for my paper! I was feeling happy today so I put on my tie for the last day.. I came late but finished the paper 15 mins earlier cz it was easier than Trials. So, the 3 (Brian, JJ & I) of us went to NZ to eat breakfast.. All of us didn't eat so we just drank "Teh Tarik" only.. We went back to school 10 mins before the paper started & discussed with Nic & the rest of them.. Then, Commerce paper 2 started.. It was surprisingly easier than Trials so I thanked God for it.. 10 mins before the paper ended, some students have already finished so they left early & screamed like animals freed from their cage outside the school. Some of them were riding their motorcycles around the school & revved their engine to the max so it created a noise pollution & disturbed the rest of us that are still doing the paper esp. me.. When I was done, I sighed a relieve that it's finally over!! We took some pictures before heading to TGI Friday's to celebrate after SPM. I apologize if any of the photos offend you..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPM Day 5 & 6

Day 5

Today's the 3rd last day of SPM. Only Art students came cz there are no papers that involve Science students. It Science paper 1 first & I arrived late but it was quite easy so I finished it before the time limit. Then came Science paper 2 which was slightly easier than Trials.. Lastly, it was Art paper 1 which was in the afternoon. The quality of the paper was like children's story books' pages! I completed it like 20 mins before the time so I left the hall early.. The end of the 5th day!

Day 6

Today's the 2nd last day of SPM! We were all excited that it gonna be over soon. It was only Art paper 2 today.. I chosed the question that involved drawing a deer drinking water from a lake..
I practiced it couple of times till the deer was in my mind. Thank God I finished it on time for the 1st time! I was gonna try out contacts today. I went to the eye doc after the paper ended but the doc wasn't around so the receptionist assisted me on putting the contacts on.. It was kinda difficult to put it on in the beginning but I managed to get used to it soon after.. It felt so much better wearing contacts than glasses but it's a hassle cz I have to clean it after use everyday. The receptionist gave the schedule of wearing the contacts so my eyes will get used to it & the solution & contacts holder as well.

Lifegroup outing to Kg. Kuantan & Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Took me 2 hrs to write 3 blog posts. My former lifegroup (I left it for Jun Yan's lifegroup instead) planned an outing to Selangor last Sat. We wanted to eat dinner & see fireflies there. We departed from church to Ijok at around 3.30 pm & arrived there at about 5 pm. We ate dinner at 5.30! This was the earliest I had dinner before.. This is because we wanted to see the fireflies as early as possible before it becomes too dark. Our meal was a 10 course meal! Even more than a wedding dinner's meal which is only 8. Here are the pics of the food :

This is the famous "Beggar Chicken. Baked in herbal soup, the tender meat just falls off the bones & it tastes just wonderful! *drools*

Pork trotters. Most of it were fats..

Baked duck. This tastes great as well..

Glutinuous rice with lotsa salted egg yolks.. Mmm good!

The steamed fish cooked with sour & spicy sauce.

It was very fresh as the flesh was soft & had no fishy smell.

Prawns in some kind of spicy sauce.

Crab cooked with ? sauce. I forgotten how did it taste like.

The dish was completed with a hammer.

Vegetables.. (The one & only vegetable in all the 10 dishes)

 Pig stomach soup. It was extremely peppery.

It almost burned my throat after drinking 2 bowls but it was good :)

This was the final dish. Fruits..

After dinner, we went to Kuala Selangor to see the fireflies. It was about 7 when we left the restaurant. I forgot to mention the restaurant's name. It was called "New Delicious Beggar Chicken Restaurant". It was another 90 mins ride to the place. There was various signboards regarding the fireflies. We had to park outside the entrance of the place. We had to walk from there. It was RM 40 per boat & only 4 persons allowed on 1 boat. The boat ride was great & the fireflies were beautiful. They were all on a tree & when their lighted ends flashed, the tree looked like a Christmas tree! It's impossible to take pictures of the fireflies because it was dark & if you used flash, you would only be able to see a very bright light. The boatman said that if special lens were used, then it would only be able to capture them clearly. After the boat ride, we went back home. The outing was tiring yet but memorable & exciting!

 The entrance..

The description of the fireflies.. They only grow up to 0.5-1cm!

SPM Day 1 to 4!!

Nov 18 2009 - SPM Day 1
Finally the day that all of the F5's been waiting for have arrived! The first day of SPM! Well, it was a cold wet morning. Everyone was excited to sit for the paper wanting it to end quickly. We were gathered in the hall to be given some information & we were given masks & hand sanitizers.  BM paper 1 was quite tough.. History paper 1 was ok but BM paper 2 was easier than trials.. Whew! The end of the first day & the end of BM examination!

Nov 19 2009 - SPM Day 2
The second day arrived. As usual, we were gathered in the hall to be given masks & hand sanitizers. English paper 1 was ok. English paper 2 was also alright. History paper 2 was quite hard but I still managed to do it by the grace of God. Hallelujah! The end of day 2. That's the end of English & History examination.

Nov 23 2009 - SPM Day 3
We had Math & ICT today. Math paper 1 was quite hard & I didn't managed to complete it on time. So, I shot 10 questions! Then came paper 2. It was similar to trials as it was not easy. After Math was over, the students who didn't take ICT went home. Only a few of us stayed back for it. ICT was not easy too. But, thank God I remembered all the notes I read so I still managed to complete the paper without blanks.

Nov 24 2009 - SPM Day 4
Today is last day for me before a week's break. It was Moral paper today. My hard work of memorising the moral values last night until 1 am paid off because I managed to answer all the questions with less difficulty. After Moral was finished, 3 of us (Eugene, Guo Wei & me) went to mamak. Dad came to fetch me later at about 2 pm.

Class party '09!

Even though this event happened like a month ago, I planned to blog about it, it's just that I couldn't find the time for it.. But, since I'm free now, I'll blog about it. It was on a beautiful Wednesday morning, we were assembled in the open hall for co-curricular certs presentation. So, there was these 2 F3 girls that presented Miley Cyrus' "The  Climb".. They sang pretty well. It was followed by 2 other F4 girls who sang Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" & 2 other Malay songs which was never heard of (by me of course!). By the time all this presentations ended, it was recess & our backsides were aching like hell! So, since the teachers only allowed the students who brought food for the event to go up first, I went up to class because I brought snacks.. When i reached class, my jaw dropped! The spread was heavenly.. All my favourite food! There's only one reason I don't wanna leave M'sia : The food is amazing! Heres the pics :

 Like it? The girls did it..
