okays i have a ton of stuff to blog about... here goes~
school:
due to the holidays of january, a few classes have to be reschduled and certain plannings got messed up too. class is the same, as usual, we have 2 major projects to do though it doesnt seem to bother my class or rather, no one seems to be bothered by the projects instead our minds were focused on chinese new year and the lo hei (which until now... no lo hei i see hor cindy zhang/mingyi) ... one of the project is designing a t-shirt design for germany for world cup - cool huh?! prizes are superb. winner gets to to have an internship with the german design school for one whole entire month *hubba hubba* and the selected design will be printed and worn by millions of german fans during the world cup!!! *pweet* imagine.... ok thats all about school =)
family:
because its chinese new year, of cos the prices of fish will skyrocket and i mean SKYROCKET. pop has to leave the house to sell fish by 1230am for 2 weeks before chinese new year and we helped out too. i really cant explain the adrenaline rush when you see 3 whole entire stalls of fish were sold out within 4 hours. every year we will compare which customer we served bought the most and i thought mine was pretty high - about four hundred plus because the average total was about two hundred plus. but when the winner was revealed... the total amount was... a horror staggering four digit sum = $2,800. what? a one month salary worth of seafood? mo tak deng... she bought 30kg of ikan kurau ($50 per kg) which means she bought $1500 worth of fish alone... peifu peifu... and scallops were going at $100 per packet... she bought a few packets of scallops too... where does all those seafood goes to? to her family and friends =) very giving indeed.
and we've got a new sofa!!! no more ugly green sofa yeah! it's those balinese (whatever you call it) simple light and dark brown coloured. matched the living room interior and it's just nice for the out of place isqueeze!!! and oh oscar... he went for grooming and he came back all... bald and itchy... and the sofa is now his new best friend... ha!
ministry:
hmmm this whole entire month is quite an upsetting one. i received not so happy news one after another... one even came in just when im about to sleep... sometimes it makes me want to throw my phone away... but God never fails. He blessed my group with a convert!!! a chinese new year convert!!! this is so cool!!! during worship on fri's ss, yokes and i had a vision. same one. exactly the same. wha!!! mo tak deng!!! though yes i'm still undergoing some construction (sounds like some cosmetic surgery) but i know deep down. God never fails.
i was so touched on a particular night. so stressed with my cg because it seems like im trying to shepherd every single one and i've been replying on myself which in the end, i see human results and i got so disappointed with myself esp. my sheeps were esp sweet... they... aww... too sweet to blog about it... jane and yokes lah~ those 2 crazy women... hahaha! =D but overall, i do have my temptations and struggles and hurts that i have yet to overcome. i'm comtemplating to give up certain stuff but im still thinking... im still on my way. still walking =) and i do have my resolution. joy and a better relationship with God.
chines new year:
gong xi fa cai!!! dad bought kuah lapis. this is bad. because as what i predicted. the whole entire kuah lapis will be finished within 2 days by pop and me. and it did!!! dim gai!!! now i have no more kuah lapis!!! booo~ anyways we ate half of it during the women's aussie open final (justine retired after 1st set due to tummy upset - i wanted her to win) and the second was finished while watching men's final (federer won) but oh wells, thats just about tennis and kuah lapis during the 1st and 2nd day.
ok~ we had steamboat (my fourth this week and one more tmr!!!) and it's good, eating with family =) and because my sister bought a wallet for my dad, and there's an empty slot for pictures so we decided to look for a quan jia fu portriat. while flipping through, i saw pictures of my mum when she was young - married - with children and so forth. i decided to stop looking at the pictures after 199+ i really couldnt bring myself to look at the pictures. so in the end i chose a family portrait when i was a baby. at least we look young and slim hahaha... every chinese new year, relatives will come to my house on the fourth day because thats the day when my mum passed away... it's already been 4 years and it seems like i've just hold her hand yesterday... ok enuff of memories. lets look forward to the future =)
the usuals, visitations and more ngoh hiang and more ngoh hiang *shudders* and yes! i watched fearless!!! it's really good. watched it again just now with my dad... it's been more than10 years since i've watch a movie with him. the last was ji tou ya jiang (chicken head duck talk?) long huh? and yesterday i've went out with jaime ray and her brother to cartel to meet up, supposed to come to my house for mahjong than because of some scoldings from my pop hahaha mahjong was scrapped. we ended up in town's cartel and tcc afterwards. no mahjong this year!!! hands itchy wor... painted my nails red, hoping to show off the red nails while washing the tiles ha~ but never mind, shall show off to the cls tmr hahaha
