Holidays.

Shalom!

And so as you see the title, you must think I'm going to write what happens during my 2-months holidays right? Half of your thoughts are right. I have good and bad situations to tell. Hope you don't get bored.

First of all, last weekend, from 23-24th of November, our church's leaders had a retreat to Santubong Resort. I don't have a clue as to where my family was needed, but this is what we call blessing when we believe we can do extra-ordinary things in the Lord. By the time we arrived, there were only three families, which was ours and our church members and their relatives. We got into our own rooms and settled ourselves while unpacked our things out of the car and reserving our places to sleep. After that, we had tea with the other family and then comes the best part; swimming!!! So we changed our clothes and dived our hearts in. Haha, that's a new proverb.. by me.

And after the swimming and all, we got dressed and ready to eat at the seafood here. I've got nothing much to say about this place, just that the sunset view from here was honestly breath taking and we ate seafood fried rice. They served this prawn, I have no idea what is it called but yeah. I bet it's delicious because the one on our table finished in a blink of an eye and I didn't eat one prawn. Too sad, but it's nothing, because I was already full by that time. Hmm...

In the night, the parents got to sit on a round table and we kids (and teenagers) got into our own playgrounds  (as in teenagers in one room and the small kids in another) and had our own agenda, which is the main reason why we followed our parents here, to play, have some SERIOUS fun and release our stress. I made a video with my youth friends but I can't upload it because the video is currently in my boyfriend's hand phone. But I tell you, having the whole night to my besties and I was the best thing I did, other than last year, where we had the same group of people, but we were telling scary stories, which made me hard to close my eyes in the night. This year, it was all-the-way different, the good different.

The next day, the parents had to continue their meeting, and this time they tried having their meeting by the swimming pool. At the same time, they can also watch their wild and swimming kids even when they are SERIOUSLY meeting by the pool! Haha..

And yeah, I guess I changed my mind about telling you guys everything. I'll just stop here, because I'm sadly hungry and I got to go get some food for my tummy. I'll maybe continue tomorrow? Well then, GOOD BYE and GOD BLESSINGS BE WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!

Forgot Pictures For The Nuggets :)

I told and posted to you guys about me cooking (after the baking planned was cancelled) the day before right? I didn't actually forgot to put pictures, just... lazy. 

I actually cooked the nuggets for family dinner. As desserts. It turned out my parents loved them! I purposely cooked it till it's black, so it would be sweeter when eaten. Turns out great for a start.

Mother's choice for sauces, I wonder why.....

She wants to give it a try, too :)

Still in the wok. Yum yum! First three pieces.

Anything For The Future

We had a retreat to a famous resort here in Sarawak, especially for the church leaders and I was proud to be one of them.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)


And I wasn't proud in the worldly way, but in a way that I thought (and see) that how God is going to use me very well for His coming up ministries. I can't wait because I know many are in need of His miracles to happen, so people, be ready for our outreach to you people!


Our committee members had bought a new piece of land for a new church building. We are looking forward to some programs that could help raise funds for renovation of the church. And we brought this matter up in the retreat and seems like we got our hearts one in prayer, I'm sure God listens and He has the best plans ever for this upcoming church building.


Not forgetting the delicious food we had. The way we did it was each family will have to cook enough for everyone to share and it was deliciously fun indeed! We get to share the love and recipes when Christ is in us.


As promised for every blog pages :) Here comes the hit!

Paying attention to this 'new' comic he had. He calls it new, and it was already very dusty when I found it in his room last month.

He has a name. Shawn Nix :)

We have our own sleeping beauty.

My mother who just untied her hair and it blew in the wind. She was searching for a contact number my brother and I accidentally deleted days ago.

She was posing her new handbag. And we were like -_____-

A view of the famous mountain on Sarawak. Known for its legend, this surely was an attraction to tourists.

That hat, oh no.. That hat! (Notice the lump on the right side of my neck? I was chewing a sour sweet that time, and that explains why my eyes looked >.-)

During the sermon, before the church planning. I noticed the flash but then I thought it would make a nice shot :)

That was this morning, before having my way back home. I got obsessed with the hat! 

Anyway, got an occasion at Franklin's place tonight, I'll post that tomorrow, along with the church post. And I'm making that church-post a label on my bloggie post and that's weekly.

Missed This Page, Now I Got A Story.

I just got back from a birthday party. And it was awesome, not because of the cakes or free food, no. I get to meet old friends from childhood. How God really understands how much I miss them! Also, I get to make new friends with Sonia and Sandra. These girls were two awesome cuties I met at a new church I'm going to. Also, my childhood friend Bob and his little brother. We lived in a police barrack once, but they had to renew the landscape so we had to move out to somewhere nicer. Can you imagine sleeping with woods, hammers, and nails and listening to 'wonderful music' like banging on the walls and generators vrooming through the night? No, right? So that's what we did. We moved further to somewhere near the ferry port, and it's already seven years since I moved here. That amazing feeling when you found him after so long and we actually started exchanging phone numbers and he'd text me till this moment, and I haven't replied. Yeah, only God knows how much I missed him. :)

So I ate and chit-chatted more with Bob and Sonia, and they both started to know each other, too. It was the nicest thing I've ever seen in being friends with the old and the new. It's a wonderful time being together, of course.

And tomorrow morning, I'll be on a mission trip with Sonia, Dominick, Sandra and more. Oh gosh, I can't wait. It's a chance that God gave to me to spend more time OUT of home and be with my new friends to serve Him wherever we are. If I wanted I could have my pictures with each and every one of those listed, but the camera was brought away by my father, and passed around to my uncle, my mother, and my brother. UGH!

So gotta go sleep. Have to wake up early tomorrow. I'll blog again as something cool's coming up. Goodnight!

Regrets

Well visitors, sorry about my last two posts. I know they were very simple and boring and devastating and all those, so here's something I thought would cheer you guys up and make you forgive my PAST mistakes. Hehe ^^

So in the afternoon after dropping my sister off at school and fetching my brother at the same time, I had a nap in the car and I woke up, surprised to have the car parked in front of my English pop. Remember Bro. Mark? Yeah, his house. That was his mother's actually, but since she's already gone to be with the Lord, she hands it over to pop. We talked and babbled and talked and babbled with his 20-year-old son, until his wife came home.  Then we chit-chatted more with a glass of Milo each. And, as time passes, my pop's wife (we call her Rose) remembers that she'd had some clothes that she wanted my mother to repair and make. Not forgetting, she also got  this trendy kind of long-sleeved purple shirt. Awesome shit is awesome, and I'm gonna wear it ti the mission I'm joining this Eid Haji.

And then, I was gardening in the evening, back from Rose's place. I planted, potted and watered lots of kinds of flowers and guess what. I've accidentally deleted the pictures from my camera!

Here's the thing.

I wanted to move it to a folder in my laptop and I think it was already transferred. When I clicked on the folder which was only on the left side pf the screen, 'This folder is empty.' How more disappointed can I get? And I've took so many beautiful pictures I thought I would be able to blog about, and POOF! They're gone, just like that. I can get no more sad. Oh God, it's the payment I get.

And now, I'm still with the shirt. I only have the picture of me with this shirt. How could I be so careless? 

I was looking forward to a beautiful blog, yeah, the pictures.

No Idea For The Title Hehehehe

So today's activity was making underwater world out of recycled stuffs. Ours turned out cute, and I didn't really give a hand. Too addicted with my friend's DSLR. Again, pictures.

 

 Breakfast at 9.50 a.m..

The finished one.

Then in the afternoon after lunch, we got singing practice with my friends and got silly pictures taken by my friend, so not gonna post them. After that, I got my own Talenta training with my 13 year-old juniors. I got a few songs together with the steps and I guess we'll ready to show-off talents! We medley-ed two songs, first worship song and continued with a joget song titled Kirmizi and Ada Satu Nama. We had fun this evening but we haven't practice for our choir, because one of our brothers weren't there to help out. So, tomorrow is our full practice for the full rehearsal on the 27th (OH NO, IT'S JUST TOMORROW!!) Oh well, what goes around comes around, and it's not a competition anyway. It's just a day where we show what we have by any means- dancing, singing, and all. I'm sure it's gonna be fun.

My stomach's drumming (again after minutes).

Buzzer, signing off. Gotta go eat. Stay tuned alright?

What We Did Today Was Boring,I didn't Do Much, Yet I'm Tired.

So today I went to school and the program was making sandwiches and salad. We got dirty but yeah, it was delicious. I didn't eat it though, but I had to admit it looked mouth-watering.

Oh and how can I forget !

We had aerobic, too this morning before the cooking. It was fun and I got a lot of sweats. Huhh. Worth it. I got to lose weight some more after the long break of exercising. We did the Zumba dance, which was a combination of Latin music and internationals. Like I said, fun and muscle-building (kekeke ^^)

Pictures :)

Another one of Waji.

Guitar rocks!

Christopher, our school'c rugby player. Keep up that smile, Chris :)

The table that broke down because of several unknowns.

He wanted his picture to be on Blogger, so the world can see. LOL :D

And here are other pictures taken by my friend, Wazirul. 

Tough isn't he?
