My birthday la, that is.
Yea, I know, with each passing year, I seem to be getting more and more shameless about it. Haha!
But, you know what? I would really, really like these:
- “YOU: The Owner’s Manual” by Dr Mehmet Oz (I think Mon is getting this for me).
- Brian McLaren’s “The Voice of Acts: The Dust of Their Feet”
- The other 4 Jane Austen books that I don’t have, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Emma and Mansfield Park.
- All 7 McDonald’s Coca Cola Contour Glasses (I only have the Charcoal Grey and Royal Purple {er, sort of la…}).
- F.R.I.E.N.D.S – all 10 seasons DVD.
- And of course, all the stuff I mentioned in years past.
They’re still valid.
But what I really need is more strength to get through this final month of school. Sigh…
Oh, by the way, Matt, I already got the bluetooth handsfree already. Haha!
Anyhow, this 29th birthday of mine, I’m doing something special. Watch out for the post!
I had resisted doing this for so long, but one fine afternoon, I decided to finally do it.
And man, it was really worth the wait.
I’m so glad that I finally did it.
It was REALLY good.
…
Just watched “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”.
DK, especially was really, really good. No need la to analyse why, I think all the analysis and comments were done like last year.
Anyhow…
Forgive me for waiting so long…
But, it was worth the wait.
This week was long.
Very long.
Monday was a year.
Tuesday even longer.
Sigh…
These two songs kept me going.
Sampai Batas Waktu (GMB)
Tatkala gelap mencekam hidupku
Kurasa aman dalamMu
Kubawa hatiku
Ombak yang menderu tak membuat galau hatiku
Ku tahu
Ku selalu mengandalkanMu
Ku ingin lebih mengenal pribadiMu
Jiwaku berseru
Hanya kepadaMu
Segala kerinduan hasrat jiwaku
Ku s’rahkan padaMu
Sampai batas waktu
Kaulah satu
***
Esok ‘Kan Kujelang (GMB)
Saat mataku memandang
Keajaiban karyaMu
Sungguh siapakah ku ini
Yang Engkau hargai
Dan cintai
Selalu
Dan saat kupikirkan kebaikanMu
Tak pernah ku kekurangan
Dan saat kurenungkan kesetiaanMu
Esok ‘kan kujelang
Tanpa keraguan
Surya ‘kan terus ada
Yippee! Came back for a week’s holiday in KL.
Bought new sunnies. Set me back a bomb though, but I love it!
Celebrated Raffly’s birthday (and also a very belated one for Mon and Matt) at Itallianies and then dessert at DeliCious.
Good food, great time.
My sister loves this photo. She said I looked pensive, wondering whether I should come back to KL or not. Haha!
The 5 of us in the family (Poor Melvyn, tak dapat ikut!), together with Alice (our friend from Hong Kong) spent a couple of days in quiet Fraser’s Hill.
Much needed indeed.
Alice says this scenery looks like Switzerland. Hmm…
Had to try horse riding of course.
Lemon tree in the middle of the paddock. Strange.
Tried my hand at archery. Susah la. Only 2 kena target, two didn’t kena at all, the rest just all around the board.
Went to Ye Olde Smokehouse for some super expensive tea.
Nice cosy place.
But if you look carefully at the fireplace, you’ll see this:
Haha!
Oh, since Ye Olde Smokehouse was translated “The Old Smokehouse”, does this mean that “Hear ye, hear ye…” means “Hear the, hear the…”?
There was one time we saw the brilliant blue sky above us, and we decided to do this:
Enter the Dragon.
Kung Fu Frog.
Ballerina Ninja.
FIGHT!
Aiyo, not easy task I tell you, both photographer and models were in total pain after that. Ankles especially.
But it was worth it.
More pics on FB especially how we made those kung fu pics.
Oh well, back to school now. It’s the last mile before the holidays begin.
Busy-ness, here I come.
Isaiah, your call is my inspiration.
These past 3 weeks leading up to Raya have been something indeed.
First, I went on many hospital trips because some of my students came down with the flu and high fever and had to go for further examination in the hospital.
I think there was one week that I made about 4 trips altogether. And almost always at night.
Look it’s us in the hospital! Don’t we look healthy?
Of course they do la, cos the people you see in this picture were not the ones that were sick. I had to get some people to teman their friends who were actually sick, so these people were chosen la.
You can imagine how bored we were, waiting for the doctor’s opinion. We couldn’t even go and see our friend ‘cos he/she was in the quarantine room.
So, what to do? Take pictures la!
Such is the life of a hostel warden.

On the 16th recently, a few of us made a trip down to the Doulos ship for an activity jointly organised by Doulos and PGKS.
There were quite a number of students from other schools there too la.
We left school at 6 am, so obviously we didn’t make it in time for the beginning of the event, but only the 2nd half.
Remember this evangelism activity? Fold, fold, fold, then tear, tear and then ta-da! A cross!
Cool! I just learnt the secret to folding it.
After the event was over, we stopped by the floating bookstore for a while before more pictures:
Then, we HAD to stop by 1 Borneo to have an early dinner before heading home. Surely, another photo taking session was mandatory:
It was a really good day, that day.

Anyhow, I guess it’s time to introduce them properly:
