Christmas

The season to share the love of Christ

Lets not forget…

This is not about santa, or gifts, or giving.

It is about Jesus, and the hope we have in Him..

Cheers people… Have a blessed Christmas!

I'm Home

I reached home yesterday...

Yep yep, atlast I'm home.

After all the drama..

I'm home

Today I felt it again, "So near yet so far"

The day was super cozy and I just love the rain here.

It sure is good to be home,

A time to recover, a time to heal.

Chrismas is coming soon.

With each passing day,

We all draw near to the closing of 2008

A time to remember the good things and blessings of 2008,

and put away the sad memories of yesterday.

Finally

I'm going home... I'm at the airport with mum.
3.25, the plane should be getting ready to leave.
Looking forward to be home.

This time, it's weird,
Having mixed feelings,
I want to be home,
Yet, something feels very different.

I pray for a good warm homecoming. =D
To all my friends in west M'sia, I'll be seeing you all very soon, so miss me and call often ya! :P

Wedding Plan Tag... Hmmmmm.....

A double tag from John and Wan Sin. Not that I'm going to get married in a few weeks... so this is gonna be a really tough one.

How old are you?

I'm now 22 years old..

Are you single?

Yup, still am... but n/a

In what age do you think you'll get married?

What age ah? Not sure lah.. I think it's more to financial ability? (Weddings are expensive!)

Do you think you'll be marrying the person you are with now?

I'm not in a relationship yet.. but I'm looking forward to a lifelong relationship next.

If not, who do you want to marry?

Can't think of anyone at the moment. So... maybe I stay celebate? :P

Do you want a garden/beach or a traditional wedding?

I'd like something traditional, in a church, at the altar, but if my wife to be has better ideas, I'm all ears!

Your ideal motive?

I guess this should be discussed with my wife to be lah.. I don't have much of a preference I think...

Where do you plan to go on a honeymoon?

I'm thinking of some beach... like maybe Maldives, Bali, Anse Victorin of Seychelles in Africa... and I heard even in France, there are great beaches... =)

How many guests do you think you'll invite?

I'm guessing this question referes to the dinner. Can I not have wedding dinner? :P
Ok.. more importantly, invite family members and close friends and buddies!

Do you want an extravagant wedding or a simple wedding?

Simple is good...

Do you want the traditional vows or something you'd make up on your own?

I guess I want to cook something on my own.. More meaningful, and more straight from the heart. =)

How many layers of cake do you want?

Layers ah? actually so many layers... who eat all of them ya? Lol.. I think 3 tier would be just fine lah.. unless the hotel decides to give me a 10 storey cake! Haha.

Do you prefer having your reception at a hotel or a simple place?

I'd prefer a hotel, someplace really nice where the atmosphere is fun, electric, and the food is deliciously mouth watering everytime my guests remember the wedding, I want them to have something good to remember, and also for myself and my wife to be...

When do you want to get married, morning or evening?

It depends on the location I guess.. If like in a church setting, the morning would be great, but if at the beach, the evening time, when the sun is setting would be best!

You'd rather have your reception outdoors or indoors?

I'd prefer indoors, with A/C and all.. Unless the wedding is in someplace cold ? Haha...

Do you like a grand entrance for your groom?

erm... is this tag for girls ne kah? John ??? Wan Sin???? :P
Hmm.. So ya. I checked John's answer and I agree with him.. :P Just wait at the altar la.. no need magic show to appear.

Name the song/tune you'd like to play at your wedding?

erm... I'm thinking "You and Me" by Lifehouse.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

I'm pretty much nocturnal.

Do you want a solemn ceremony or a light one?

Don't know for sure.. Something in the middle? Lol... how solemn can a wedding get wor.. it's supposed to be happy celebration right?

Describe your ideal husband/wife?

Ok. here are some pointers, but not the full list or in any particular order except for the first one.
1. She must love God more than she will ever love me.
2. Loves food
3. Loves music
4. Has a huge heart for Jesus!

Do you prefer fine dining or just the normal spoon & fork/knife?

Fine dining for special ocassions ler.. But other than that, use fingers also can lah!

Champagne or red wine?

Champagne of course! (Someone sponsor me?? :P)

Honeymoon right after the wedding or days after the wedding?

After the ceremony, dinner and all is over lah..

Money or household items?

I think I'm going to put up a list of things I need next time, and ppl can just buy me things that I need and if don't want to, money would do just as wonderful. =D

Who will pay for the bills?

I'll tell her.. lets share? But when I earn more than enough, I'll pay for it all lah.. hehe.. makes sense rite!

Are you ready for married life?

As of this moment, not yet lah.. First of all, financially not stable yet, and no job summore.. How lah.. haha..

Do you think you will still be a virgin until you get married?

YES!

Will you always be true to your wife/husband?

YES!

How many kids would you like to have?

2 would be enough =D But if God sends more, I'm sure we will welcome it with arms wide open. =D

A new house for a newly wed or an old one?

I should think new house lah.. But if old also.. it's okay.. as long as we have a place of shelter to make and call home.

What kind of cuisine would you like for your wedding?

Chinese 10 course meal (chinese tea and dessert is not a dish ok... )

Will you record your honeymoon in a CD or DVD?

Will need handycam leh.. Record where we went and all. It'd be cool!

Whose wedding plans would you like to know next?

1. Diane Teng
2. Audrey Kho
3. Tan Shea Teng
4. Jesse Yeo
5. Su Ee
6. Wei Zhu

Banana Leaf Rice

I was just at this banana leaf rice place in Bangsar. I can't remember the name of the shop, but this is the first time in YEARS I see everyone in a banana leaf rice shop eating with fork and spoon. It's KL lah I guess. :p and yes.. the food is not as nice as when eaten with ye fingers! Hahaha! So.. I've been "Indianized" thanks to John, Vinod, Michelle, and Kana... Hmmmm....

Super Delicious Nasi Lemak!!

Later that evening, John brought me to one of the best nasi lemak you can think of tasting lah... It's called restoran mana lagi.. This restaurant sells ONLY nasi lemak! The first time I've ever been to such a place... At first, I thought that it would just be some over rated nasi lemak.. coz.. how good can nasi lemak be? I stand corrected... I dun think the pictures here can describe the taste, so it's best if you just hop on Air Asia, get to Johor, and ask the taxi driver to bring you to "Restoran Mana Lagi".

Even a food hunting TV show in Singapore!

Here is how it looks like...

Yummy~!

Sick....

I still have 2 blog posts sitting in Windows Live Writer.. waiting to be posted.. cause of some weird problem it's encountering, saying that it has problem posting to my blogpost.. So.. keep waiting for that...

Just a little update what has been happening... I was sick yesterday, really sick! Some terrible case of food poisoning, and I was basically vomitting and having diarrhea... =(
Anyhow, praise God that I'm all better now, and I can even sit here and blog! :P

oh.. I'm looking forward to go home sometime next week. So glad that at last, I can go back home to some Kuching laksa and "kolo mee"~!

Johor, sweet....

So hor.. I just continue somewhere lah... 

So.. that night we went to John's church, and after service, John's dad brought us to go eat lah, at first, the plan is to go eat wild boar and "biawak" lah.. but then tak jadi, so we went to another place lah...

John's church...

Dinner at some place lah.. The "kung pou kai" reali super nice!

John's dad, Uncle Edmund =D

Den after dinner, we went back to ZZzz lah.. Initial plan was to go play DOTA at JB's biggest cyber cafe, but we didn't go lah.. Both of us felt too tired to do anything much, so we went back to sleep.

The next day, we went to watch Quarantine at City Square. This place is so south, and so near to Singapore that the streets have a little feel of Singapore, and there are many many many Singaporeans in this part of Johor. At City Square, I tried this :

"Snow Ice"- Yummulicious ice-cold milk.
