one year once service team dinner! this the day im waiting for so long....... and here's the day!
this year abit special because it is organize by me.. and this is my first time organizing it.. so i actually have no experiences. lolx.
thank God, there's a very good leader - Alvis guiding me and help me through. so it seems to be easy organizing a dinner. hahha.
is actually all in a mess and in rush. due to lotsa church events going on like convention.. Christmas service.. Matthew and Friends.. by the way, im actually send out e mail to all department leaders at last minute and im not sure is everyone read it. by then i went to pangkor for some trip and just back yesterday. thank God for Gale that he willing to help out calling to make a reservations since he's actually not familiar with PJ. but he do still find out the number and all and call up. thanks! of course the most important - appreciation time! all the gifts reward prepared by Kar Bee. and i told her what to buy and how many to prepare at the eleven hour. appreciate what she prepared. sumthing new and creative.
prayer works prayer works! God is leading me all the way.. can see how things to be done and to be settled.
we somehow had our service team dinner at Vietnam Kitchen. at least sumthing new. and gladly 26 of 'em turned out! wow wow! i never expect that much;p
due to some 'technical' problem, we supposed to have some ice breaking and a very short drama acting to pull one another closer and to know each other better rather than just stick to their own friends. cause we thought the food may be serve kinda slow. who know they serve darn fast. plans failed. but sumthing wonderful, we actually divided them into groups and so they were all sitting in groups. so yea, they were all messed up and they get the opportunity to know one another better. that's great huh~
the food.............. not bad. maybe i just don't really like Vietnamese's style..
hahha. we actually had still drama acting at the end after everyone finish their food. what they hafta to do is to show love. i mean God's love.. not BGR nor BBR nor GGR. all of them seriously act. and can u imagine urself acting in a restaurant? for me i don't think i dare to.. but they did! gosh! i never imagine that man..
still love this part - appreciate moment!! yay!!
everything is a surprise. i didn't know i got this best initiative rewards. im like "huh? WHAT? me? kidding?". and i went out.. my team leader - Kar Lock said sumthing about me.. and by that time my tears almost drop.. no jokes man.. at the end.. im requested to give those tokens to our respective department leaders. registration:Chee Chuan ; communion:Pei Kuan ; usher:Kar Lock, Gale, Chek Ban ; and the higher rank usher leader: Alvis! i do speak some words to describe these few leaders. but when comes to Alvis i can hardly control my emotion of wanna to COL(cry our loud). lolx. not that seriously kia.. i have toO much to thanks him and describe how good he is.
by the way, time is running out and everyone start to pay me for meals. we ended bill for rm519. wow wow. but Alvis paid extra rm100. that's his final blessing to all of us in 2007. lolx.
erm.. just sumthing simply short. im not in the mood of blogging. im sick like a zombie.
but this is a very memorable dinner for me. at least i knew even more bros and sis in my service team;)
here's some words for my most appreciate leader - Alvis.
thanks for guiding me and leading me when the first step i stepped into usher team. u never gave up of me but keep encouraging me. u keep pushing me forward so that i able t grow up. u impressed me the most with all ur kind loving and sacrificing acts. u always cheer me up whenever u saw me and so i able to cheer others up. when im sick u never lemme goes for duty even there's not enough usher. u care! i'd been lost for a very period due to some health problem. u're so understanding and lemme rest for a long time till im healed. during that periods of struggles, u do always call me up concerning bout me, encourage me and pray for me. u gave me lotsa opportunities in serving the usher team. though i'd lost for such long period of serving but u still gave me this reward - best initiative. i don't think i deserve it. still thanks, anyway.. u gave me a memorable birthday celebration. i think im the blessed one among all ur ushers.. whenever i did wrong u say is okie.. nevermind.. thanks for ur forgiveness. i know im stubborn sumtimes.. but hahha.. u're just like my big bro u know.. thanks for ur faithful and sacrificial serving. thanks for all things that u'd done to me and i really appreciate u. i'll continue to serve faithfully.
God Bless u abundantly:)

Memorable Christmas. wonderful Christmas time....
hahha. im still getting very high and i dunno why.
anyway.
had a wonderful Christmas celebrating with my church members. we had a combined Christmas with Hope KLCC and Hope Serdang in Menara Yayasan Tun Razak.
though not much performances had performed. but the important is the fellowship with one another. i met some others bros and sis from others centers. so happy! and took lotsa of photos. hahha. so what? that's me okie..
after lunch and all, me, shann, angeline and yc went to t for some..... some..... Christmas shopping?!?? since it is a Christmas. have no idea why we are going. we decided to take monorail and lrt back to pj and go to uncle khai' open hse. that's good experience. i taught them how to take monorail and lrt. taught them how to buy tickets. hahha. nice fellowshipping squeezing in the train. lolx.
wow. my first time carrying so many presents alongside shopping. people passing by wondering sumthing going wrong with me. hahha. or they jealous-ing? oppss....
by the way, i actually have no much time going out to buy present for everyone. just i bought a few for those whom im going to their Christmas parties and cousins. but still i bought some candy canes for everyone.
this year Christmas i received more than what i expected. somehow im so touched. some are those whom im not clsed with them. just talk to each other once or twice. i didn't prepare anything for this group of people cause there's toO much for me to buy(so sumtimes is not good to be that famous man..). indeed, i didn't expect anything from them even a sweet. but still things happened. some of them bought me presents. i feel so embarrass when they find me all the way in the hall just to gimme the present and im giving them nothing. gosh! how can it be? some of them even bought me some pricey presents. sorry friends.. so i think i should doeble theirs next year. God is great! the presents i received are all my favorites and needs. so i tell u what! God knows what u want! amen!!
anyhow, this year Christmas was the best memorable Christmas! oh... can't wait for next year Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!
SUNDAY!! as usual.. i go to church in the morning with my parents..
but i did not join my youth for lunch today! i went lunch with my parents and straight go to Menara Yayasan Tun Razak for some performance rehearsal. nah, im not performing anything. just my parents they have a song presentation by the mandarin family group. we reach there around 2pm. when we get into the hall, i felt like im going into the oven. somehow like im the cake baking in the oven. no air-cond! wait for everything to set up and stuffs. they ended start rehearsal at 4p. what the! i never imagine how i can stand the hot there.
anyway, im there to be more like a babysitter. im taking care of kenneth! he's just so cute! he has a cool man looks.. polite and quiet make him more like a girl =.=" i'd been taking care of him for like 3hours.
and yea, me and mina running up and there to buy drinks. hahha. great time fellowshipping with mina;) that makes me know her even better :)
rehearsal ended around 5 30p. and dad never get tired of it. he brought us to KLCC for shopping(again) =.=!! bought lotsa stuffs and presents.
okie, it reminded me sumthing.
" sorry all my beloved friends, i did not have that much time buying everyone a Christmas presents. sick for a moment; hide at home can't go anywhere; since im just back from MNC. do not misunderstand i do not remember u or else, i owe u an apology. but still i have sumthing for everyone;) for those who do receive my Christmas present u're blessed. lolx. seriously no jokes. and thanks people who bought me a present or u'd given to me. im so appreciate it! sorry no offense if u do not receive mine. i double it next year k? see some of u guys the going on days! "
let's see what's going with the Christmas decorations. i like the Christmas decoration in KLCC's main hall. not the tall Christmas tree. but the 2 snowmen on the both side with a non-leaves-tress tied up all the blue shining lights. MidValley - such like a fairy tales. i mean.. it is. children will love it and adults will like it. recall back childhood moment! 1U - big animate drummer boys. kinda fairy tales. it reminded me the drummer boy toy in some Barbie movie. oh yeah.. never forget s'pore! the bestest Christmas decoration i'd seen this year. so miss it! all along Orchard Road there's nice Christmas decorations and all so different! and the Bible verse John 3:16 on a big tall board. blue lights along the road. that's so a blue Christmas! all the s'poreans, u should be happy at this point cause i love ur country even more nowadayz.
at this second, im still inviting friends to my combine Christmas service with Hope KLCC and Hope Serdang at Menara Yayasan Tun Razak with thousand plus of peoples. hope any of them could be able to join me and i pray so.
that's all i can tell today. continue after Christmas;) lolx...
I wanna wish YOU a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart....

everyone start preparing. hmmm.. though not so much people attending so it sounds the atmosphere may not be that good. hahha. u actually wrong! it is just so fun and exciting!! the atmosphere did not pull down cause of lacking people joining but even greater! we sang praises and Christmas songs lead by raez aka me.. fun games prepared by shann and yc.. special moment created by raez aka me and helper wli.. refreshment prepared by pe..
not to mention.. im getting so 'high' when leading songs. or im actually that 'high' when the cg first started. whatsoever. i sang out of some pitches due to my sore throat and jumping part. here comes the special moment! okie, is not that special actually but meet the objectives - Christmas. i prepared some cards in star shape. before that, wli do ask what does Christmas mean to us. and we heard lotsa opinions and stories. by then, i distributed the cards to everyone and requested to write a wishes or words of encouragement to the person on our right. at that moment, everyone just so concentrating writing wishes on the cards. so in mood! after that i collected it back, messed up all the cards, thrown all cards on the floor and guess what? find their own cards. lolx. so then we end our CG with some refreshments. hahha.

hahha. we were in the plane. before flight canceled. that's why u can still see the exciting faces.

My First Time
urgh! what a bad experience man...
it was my first time taking AirAsia. my first time taking night flight.
me and my youth.. and some others Hope Pj members were taking a night flight to Kuching for MNC on the 5th Dec. we were actually the last flight. flight has been delayed for 3times or more times cause dunno what technical problem. the latest time 11 20pm. everyone getting so tired and sleepy for the delaying. end up the gate open and everyone rush into the plane. wow. we found nice sit.. put on our belts.. took some photos.. and ready to sleep.. door closed.. plane started to move.. suddenly.. the pilot announce that so sorry our flight canceled cause the Kuching Airport closing and they don't accept any planes coming in.
WHAT?? FLIGHT CANCEL?? KIDDING??
gosh!! my first time facing flight cancel man..
everyone get down from the plane and back to the airport. and what's next? everyone start complaining and arguing there.. and the Hope members standing aside keep praying and to contacts our brothers and sisters who waiting for us in Kuching there.
everyone of us requested for an extra flight later on at 5am sumthing. and like 2am, they ended up agreed with us to have an extra flight departing at 6 30am. so then we were sent to some motel more like a hotel in Nilai. it took 25mins traveling from airport to the 'hotel'.
after we check in, is like 3sumthing am. the room haven't been clean up.. bathroom pretty wet.. wet and dirty towels on the bed.. rubbish everywhere.. gosh! me, nicole, joyce squeeze in 1 single bed. we got disturbed for 2/3 times because people trying to open our door for the mess of the receptions gave wrong room number. we ended had a not more than 1hour rest and gotta wake to catch our respective buses to airport check in(again).
we are not able to change or take a bath. our luggages were all in airport still.
supposed depart at 6 30am but they ended depart at 7 15am. when everyone get into the plane, u can see everyone sleeping. pity the children really.
because of this sleepless and tired night, it made me more like a zombie during the MNC. i never miss out a chance to sleep to recharge back myself.
that's the reason why my body aching and sore throat now.
AirAsia terrible and horrible! i was thought MAS worst. but at least not that terrible and horrible. i never faced flight delay or flight cancel(so far for my experience). stop telling me because it is a budget plane. that's not the reason. but it is their responsibility to depart on time. low cost or high cost needa be systematic toO!
p/s : my dearly bro which studying pilot now in aussie(gotta finish soon), u better choose the right airline to working in man.. if not u gonna be curse by those bad-mannered and complain by those good-mannered..
