jan 2007
its been a long time since i last updated my blog. no particular reasons for that just .. lazy..and encuontered a number of problems when trying to save my post. so, in summary of everything that i wanna put in words..
yes, i had loads of fun in Hanoi, Vietnam! there are tough moments where i really really miss home, family, friends, YC n my soft-toys alot !!thats because i havent been away from home that long before..to add to it, its my first time not celebrating Christmas with my family n friends.sigh! YC RALLY also i missed it man!! ishh….!!sobs! but i heard bout the many girls Aaron sat with, the amazing dance YC performed, and also the one-on-one outtings with girls (ahem!) by someone, u know who you are..dont deny it!oh man! wish i was there to witness everything!!oh well! i came back with a cold, terrible cough, a lil sorethroat and MORE VOLCANOES on my face..thats because the air in Hanoi wasnt good..yea, it was winter but its super hazy, dusty and..umm..basically, the air isnt that good n clear as Malaysia’s. Matt said my voice changed when he heard my over the phone.sighh….!
31st december 2006 : went to 1st service in church. sat with Matt, my bro, Aaron and their friend, Julian..oh yes!my mom was there too.after service, i received a suprise call from Leighanne informing me that there was a meeting with Judah.rushed to the office right away for the meeting. after it, one of the leaders sent me home.yes, the meeting was a suprising one for me because i didnt expect the special announcement Judah told the 10 of us there.seriously, what he said was mind-blowing!!expecially for me. oh well!
for these few weeks of January, i have spent my everyday doing house chores! argh..yes, im getting sick of it. sorry mum! neway, i just got back from YC leaders retreat 07 in MBS Recreation and Training Centre in Rawang. Thats the place SU was suppose to have their outting last year but it didnt work out because the fees charged was way over the budget. The place was SUPERB !! it was GREAT !!there’s rock climbing(but no safety ropes), reflexology foot path, NS-like-obstacles, skating rings,golf course, SWIMMING POOL, gym, squash court(under renovation), cycling path, chalets(which look like dog kennel, thats wat ppl say), indoor basketball court, indoor badminton court, ping pong court etc. my point is the place is beautiful! all the leaders were suppose to leave at bout 7pm but they left at 8pm.i followed in Rose’s van which left church at 5pm.we arrived there earlier and guess what we saw? 2 RAINBOWS!! its was so pretty!!! the 3 guys went to play basketball and the 5 girls played UNO in the dorm (40girls to 1 bathroom in the dorm).in the third round of UNO, the funny thing is i owe Rose an apology!! so sorry Rose!!(i kept on putting draw Fours and Draw Twos for her! and she didnt have cards to defend herself..)sobs! SO SORRY ROSE!while playing, i was eatting this fruity chocolate when i suddenly got the heart shaped chocolate! yea..took a pic of it adi.hehe.
basically the whole retreat was great..it was on video too. Marcel explained the vision for YC 2007..Rose spoke on Sunday morning(21/1).hmmmm…did i mention that i had to use my handphone torchlight for the 4 guys who played basketball till 12.30am(the time i left earlier) in the super dark indoor basketball court? my battery kong out! sobs!the switch box was locked apparently. sigh.oh yes! during relax-n-rest time, alot of leaders played CaptainBall in the swimming pool in the RAIN!had loads of fun i guess coz some girls managed to push Ailleen and the guys threw Marcel into the pool..haha! 21/1 was Rose’s birthday..all of us prayed for her..when some girl leaders wiped whipped cream all over her..oh yea! that was a great movie to watch..poor Rose.. haha! i actually video-ed it but i pressed the wrong button..and so, i didnt save to video!! argh!!!! wasted !! sobs…
sorry daddy, brainwash project didnt work..i kena ‘attack’ back from her. sobs!
yes, im having the exam this Fri..hopefully i pass it because i dont wanna resit or pay to resit it !! pls pray for me..im scared and nervous!!
well, more things to come in the next update!c ya peeps around..

My blog also giving me problems. Now lagi teruk, can’t even get in! Gargg…
“one-on-one outtings with girls (ahem!) by someone” - This one pulak is Matt! Bad Matt.. loyallah sikit (i didn’t say loyal to who? [rolls eyes]
“the air isnt that good n clear as Malaysia’s” - Surprise surprise.. People complain about Malaysian air so much!
“what he said was mind-blowing” - What? What? I want to know!
“there’s rock climbing(but no safety ropes), reflexology foot path, NS-like-obstacles, skating rings….” - Wow, so MANY things to do there.
“SWIMMING POOL” - You must like swimming ALOT
“which look like dog kennel, thats wat ppl say” - Wow, THAT small ar?
“kept on putting draw Fours and Draw Twos for her” - Yes YES, EVILLLll..!!
“sorry daddy, brainwash project didnt work” - For a moment there, i thought you really talking to your daddy. Forgot the OTHER one. Brainwash who? Do what? [being nosy again]
“yes, im having the exam this Fri” - Goodlah, you study so fast. I can’t bring myself to sit and read the book. Always got distractions. Maybe i should register first and give myself some stress. If not i keep thinking got time got time (which is true).
Okay… bye bye. Enjoyed reading your blog. Weeeee!!!
