~Christmas Came n Went~

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Well in a snape of a finger we are looking at the end of year 2006!! Can you believe it? As i remembered I was on the highway thinking whoa it is already February of year 2006 and suddenly 'wham' its Christmas!!! Well I was really looking forward to Christmas, not so much for the gifts and all but to go home to Ipoh for a break!!

I had an early Christmas present!! Haha if you would call it a present!! I went to see my worst nightmare! THE DENTIST!! If you had been around me, you would notice that I have been complaining about my wisdom tooth for quite some time now. Well it has been like more then 3 months now...haha yes i drag it that long and finally gathered up my guts and went! Got three injections, whole mouth was numb and had big huge tools inserted to my mouth! Would spare you the gory details, basically my gum now is all stitched up but thank god there is NO pain!! Happy happy me!!

So back in Ipoh i am!! (lol i sound like Yoda now). Basically it is sleep sleep, tv, going out and eating!! haha!! Met up with my high school mates! Gosh I missed them dearly!! Christmas Eve was the busiest for me. The night before I went for a sleepover at my friend's house, no it is not the finger painting, hair braiding, kind of sleepover, more like chit chatting catching up on old times, watching movies then sleeping. Slept at 6am!! then woke up at 11am went back home and more sleeping! Got up at 2pm got ready and met up with my friends at CopaBanana for tea!

Sanji( currently in Perth, Aust) and I

Dana (currently in Universiti Malaya) and I

Yan Hua (just finished Form6) and I

Dana with her stupid face, Eli, Zhi and I..Groupies!!

Group Pic!!

Then it was off to Priscilla's open house dinner in the evening!! There was buffet dinner plus BBQ lamb and chicken!! YUmz!! With mint sauce and mushroom sauce mind you!! hehe...and for desert we had cheese cake and a kind of yogurt fruit desert! It was deeelicious!!!

Kum Yeen and Priscilla joined the group later on

Then it was off to church for me and Eli, but surprisingly Zhi, Yan Hua, Kum Yeen and Bala got excited and wanted to join us for the carols and mass!! Hehe so they followed us back home as me and Eli got ready, changed into our Christmas clothes and rushed off to Church to get good parking and also seats.

The altar and the church was beautifully decorated

The stable where baby Jesus was born

Mass went on as usual with carol singing and the normal service. My spirits were lifted with the carols! I love carols! especially the old ones!! Then after mass it was going to the back of church and greeting everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Kum Yeen and I

Jennifer and I

Elizabeth and I

After all that, went home and PRESENTS!!! Got a cute tank top from my sis, external speakers from my dad and $$ from mom...hehe she cant make up her mind what to buy!! Oh well better that way then i can get my own things!!! SHOPPING!!!

So in short Christmas this year was great! Was a little disappointed coz din have the western kind of dinner where u have turkey with stuffings, shephard's pie, quiche and lots more of mouth watering dishes!! Sniff sniff..but then again since when I do? haha... oh well!! I am gonna have a white christmas one day with all the food!!! hmph!!! That I will!!!

Nway MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BOXING DAY!!!( can't believe i am working today) New Year coming soon!!! COME TO MY EVENT!! YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST!!! Another thing to look forward too!!

~Cheers~

~Clad in White~

The members and organizing comittee of Panasonic organized an annual dinner on the 17th of Dec which was last Saturday. We were lucky enough to be hired to perform. It was a time for the old comitee members to step down and the new ones to be elected. Grandly, the party was held at Tropicana Golf and Country Club and I was blown out of my seat looking at the houses there!!! They were HUGE and GORGEOUS!! Located privately in the golf club itself...tsk tsk... I WANT A HOUSE THERE TOO!!

Nway back to the story,

The new comittee members ( Realise the costumes?)

Looking out at my great frontyard from my balcony! NOT!



Check out the ballroom! I WANT THE BALLOONS

One of the "weird" names for the tables! "yes maam your seated at white pussy!" LOL




The two long grand stairway accompanied by white balloons

After like what seems ages since I last danced, we had to start practise again. This time I am all out of shape and lost whatever stamina i have left in me. But the ever active and strong headed Nadeem kept us on our feet and kept pushing us.

And on the day itself, it was more practising for us! Without air cond!!!!!! Our shirts were drenched inside out!!

Practise practise practise...ok start again...1,2,3 GO!!!

Makeup Makeup quick girls!!! erm and boy!

First performance, as the welcoming party

Dinner while waiting for our next performance which was like 4 hours away!!!

Dancing with the comittee members

Backstage after all the performances!!

Ayna being her crazy perky self again!!

Ah the picture says it all.... We were waiting to say goodbye to Ayna's mom when an 'uncle' came and pulled me to the dance floor. Without me realizing, i was surrounded by 'uncles' already!!! After a little of swaying and shaking i went back to my group but the 'uncle' followed me and again pulled me to the dance floor!!! Haha...I found out that he was one of the bosses of Panasonic... Hey maybe if i flirted back a little bit i might get a plasma tv for free or something! Haha...

Nway wait for the video of the performance to be uploaded!!

~Cheers~

A Monthly Trip to Penang

Last week yet again my family planned a trip to Penang, but this time our motives were slightly different from the typical relaxing and eating none stop! This time we wanted to visit the famous St. Anne Church, correction the new St.Anne Church. It was shifted from the old site to a way way bigger plot! No wonder when it comes to the St. Anne feast thousands and thousands of people turned up! Was wondering how the church accommodates so many people.

The new St.Anne Church

Check out the bell tower

St.Anne the mother of Mother Mary, Jesus’ mother for those who do not know, was a very forgiving lady and prays for many. It is said that many miracles and prayers were answered and she is ever forgiving. Since we missed the St. Anne's feast this year, we decided to pay St. Anne a visit and to offer out our prayers.

The kind and ever-forgiving St. Anne

Then we decided to hike up a small hill ( the church has a hill!! Shows how BIG the plot is!) to the shrine of St.Anne, mom and dad decided not too hehe not fit! So my sis and I went all the way up to our destination.

St. Anne's shrine

Jesus on the cross

Well if you know me well you would know how fascinated I am with old building or even the architecture based on the olden days. I love it! I even love cathedrals and this is one of the closest you can get here in Malaysia. Let me give you a tour!

Up the steps to the old church

The altar and candles of prayers

Check out the old brick walls

One of the grand entrance to the church

Among the tiled paintings at the entrance

Even the holy water container is so intricate

Look how grand the place is!! So peaceful!

And even the rooftop!! The design!!

Where do you get designs like this...castles??

Among the many beautiful statues donated

A clearer view of the church

Then after walking around the whole afternoon, we checked in to our hotels, rested, went to the gym ( hehe yea i went to the gym), did some swimming, went to the sauna and jaccuzzi then with an empty growling stomach we went to a nyonya restaurant called 'Hot Wok'. This place is so vintage!! The deco, the settings, the ambience...I fell in love with the place!! And the food was deeeellllicious!!

Hot Wok Restaurant

A mode of transportation that is almost 'extinct'

Everybody 'makan!'

Old antiques filled the place

A full and contented bunch

Well that was my trip to Penang... For the like gazillionenth ( is that how you spell that?) time. lol...I'm out!

Cheers!!
