Day 2 in Taiwan




Shopping shopping shopping! At 101 and New York New York! But all the branded stuff. Cant buy so just take some pics! We saw Kuai Le Bang at some watch shop doing opening or publicity. They were all quite short. I tot i managed to snap Qiaoqiao but dunno wat happened to my camera... Haiz.

We went Shilin too. I bought alot of stuff. :D

Btw, it's amazing how the cab drivers can remember the road structure, where and when left turns are allowed. Which lane has double directions, etc etc. Aiyo... So scary.

My Families

Isn't this nice... Hehe. Went to Orchard with Vic, Joyce & Andrew on Monday. Shop shop shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went Tian Tian Huo Guo for dinner. We were so full by the time we left that place. And we went shopping again. Btw, Tian Tian not so nice la.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have been having alot of family gatherings. Love to go out with Vic's family. They are very nice people. Straight forward. Expressive. Fun-loving. And also, i like the way Vic is with his family. So cute. Haha... He's always behaving like a "kid" cousin to his cousins. Pian-Chi-Pian-He. Hahaha... We always have a good time.

Before we shifted to stay with Vic's parents, coming back to his parents' place is always a highlight for me. Cos all his cousins will be back to visit their grandfather and the family. It will be sooooo noisy the whole day. Loud yelling and shouting. Very kua zhang reactions to things and discussions. There will be the "Zheng Dang", the "Fan Dui Dang" and also the "Mei You Dang". And whenever the discussions became too heated, we will "bu huan er shan". But within minutes, the heated discussions will somehow be forgotten. And we will be eating together again and maybe starting on another round of discussion. Haha. This is quite an interesting family.

On the other hand, my family is more serious. Or rather, we are considered people of few words??? haha... Went to back home for lunch today. Had my favorite curry chicken done by my mum cos Vic requested for it previously. My bro & his wife came back with their baby daughter too. We spent most of the time playing with the baby. Not much exchange took place during that 2 hours. Just very simple. But I know my mum would always look forward for me to go home for a meal with the family. I think she wish that I can go back more often and probably spend more time listening to all her "stories" etc. Well, it makes me feel so guilty just to think of that. Hmmm... Next year... Next year i will make up for it. :)

And I am counting down to Dec 28... Going Taiwan with Vic. He is so excited. Ya. Haven't gone overseas alone for so long.... A good time for me to recuperate in many ways too. I love Vic in those "strong-conviction-mode". He may not have any explanation for it, but he will do it no matter what. I dint reali tell him, but i reali need the break overseas. The trying-to-be-strong me will not want to go away at this time. But with all the recent happenings, I think I should go for a break. Get the foundations strong again.

不是我软弱

只是很爱过

 

不是不可以

而是真爱过

In Taiwan with Vic

Start:     Dec 28, '07
End:     Jan 2, '08

Liverpool vs Man U

This is how excited the 2 brothers are...

But look at Vic and u will know what just happened... Man U just ended 1st half with a goal!! There are 2 camps in the house now. The 2 Man U fans and the 3 Liverpool fans. I am no fans of soccer. Their screamings are deafening. Ok. Vic is going to get his coffee-fix after a devastating 1st-half.

Ok enough of Man U and Liverpool. I am having a short half-time break now. Let me get my mind off soccer for a while before returning to it. O man!

Yestrdy, I woke up with a "weird" back that gives me a bit of pain. The pain got worse through the day. And I even teared in pain before i slept at night. This morning the pain seem to have got worse. Tomorrow is supposed to be a shopping day. I hope i will be fine by tmr. Going to pop pain-killers later.

 

Anyway, yestrdy went to Kbox for the 2nd time with Vic!!! So honored. But on the condition that i pay for it.  Ha. Still I'm so happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday, Pst Kong preached a VERY VERY VERY good and strong msg. It sent a "WOW" through my spirit. Wow...

From tradition to transition to transformation.

For my friend, i am still praying for you. This is not your end. Dun accept it. My heart grieves and mourns for your many wrongs but it prays for your haste return.

To my friend and the fans: We never walk alone!

Wanna see a glimpse of Vic's dancing??




He was supposed to be "sabo-ed" to dance. Well, having the gift of the gap, he sabo-ed everyone else. And I smartly escaped as I offered my help with the mic from the MC, Johnson and then passed to the Sutian. And before u knew it, I was on the floor again taking this video. Haha.

Darling is so onz... Dance leh... Shld have got our "Fire Queen" Veron up as well...

Sean's performance




He's the superstar of the camp. The rest of the guys went up the stage halfway and tried to "steal" the limelight. Haha.

Huifang's performance.mp4




Partner Dance




This is what they learnt in the afternoon...

Youth Camp Dec 9-11 @ St Francis Methodist Sch




We had a very good time!! These are just photos of one of the games we had.

Our Youth Camp

See that?? Haha... We played a game "Game of Life" during the camp and Johnson was supposed to be a nurse. When it comes to Johnson, we are all so willing to "help" him dress up. We had fun... Haha...

We started the game with having some of those dressed up leaders in their roles to go to the dorms to wake the people up in a very nice and funny tone at 5am... "Good morning! Welcome to St Francis Town." You can imagine the bewilderment on their faces...

Then we had another drama king, Quan Han the Beggar... He was such a sport.

He reali reali reali acted like a beggar to "test" the people in the game...

I would never have believed that Quanhan is capable of all that if I had not seen it myself... O My... Salute u Quanhan!!

 

 

The camp was very very for the leaders as we had very little sleep starting the Thu before our camp on Sunday. Wenling and Shilin hardly slept at all... TWO superwomen... Aiyo... By the 2nd day of the camp, the male leaders and helpers are half-dead liao.

Well, it was a special camp for me or rather the guys in N262. Seriously, they were the sort that totally dislike camps. But seeing that they were of such a sport to be involved in the sports & games, make me feel so happy for them. A little breakthrough for them... Also, Sean won the superstar of the camp!! Hooray!! So proud of him. He's so charming la... During Sean's performance, the rest of the guys went up the stage and started dancing... Wow.... O man... They reali had fun... I must also mention that Adam was nominated as one of the top 3 "SEOW ON" of the camp!!! WOW.... Actually, Nicholas was also voted to be one of those "SEOW ON" just that he's probably the 4th one. WOW... I was so so so surprised that they were so on in the camp... Haha... They were reali such a sport..... 

My guys have grown up! I am so happy... So heartwarming for me as we close the year... What a right mood for Xmas... A season of love...

Merry Xmas!

O My! Female eating fries double risk of cancer!!!

I just read this in ST!!!
 
Tucking into french fries? Think twice if you're female


The risk of certain cancers is doubled for women who eat such food

 
LONDON - WOMEN who regularly tuck into a bag of chips or french fries now have more to worry about than their waistlines - a new study suggests they could also be doubling their risk of cancer.

In 2002, scientists sparked a worldwide alert by warning that many everyday foods contained a chemical called acrylamide, which was thought to be carcinogenic.

 

 

 

My goodness.... Looks like i gotta bid goodbye to my beloved fries and potato chips.... Boo Hoo!!!!!!!!! Just the thought of it is such an agony... Let me go home quick to finish up my last packet of chips. Haha.

BTW, Pastor Yock Kiang just told us that in Indonesia, they use COKE to wash away stubborn stains in toilet bowls or anywhere else. So coke-lovers pls start evaluating your intake of coke. It is probably "washing" your stomach too much. Stop it soon! Haha. (I must make someone else's life miserable since I'm rather miserable now. No more chips??!!!!  I'm so lost now...)

____

My heart aches to see such a thing happened. God forgives. Have you repented? I'm praying for you.
