The Sky never was the Limit...with God

Ramblings and reflections of one growing in stature and wisdom and in his walk with God :)

10:14 AM

CONVERGE.

Typewritten by Isaac

So I went there. And met.. of all people.. (but I wasn't very very surprised though)... Mock Kar Wai and Benedict Au. Wah.



Apparently Sarah invited Benedict, and he invited Kar Wai.

The CAM people changed the look of the main sanctuary totally. Haha. =)



Not really blogging about the concert though.

I left the place with a headache.. too much noise.. and too near the speakers.. >.<
But the music was nice.
The sketch was nice too. Plenty of jokes. But I still don't really get the message behind it.

Perhaps it's "Christmas isn't just about gifts. It's about being thankful for what you have"
or it's "Money isn't everything"..
or or or... I don't know.. >.<..

Ji Mi and Benji. =)

There was Pastor's message too.. =)

I liked the banter between Pastor Ong and the 'fake' emcee, Bryan.
Nescafe advertisement guy. =P
hahahah

"What does Christmas mean personally to YOU??"
hahahahahaha =D =D =D



More pictures


The emcees .. Jessica and Sirn Loong

Jessica sings well =)

and Shermaine


I guess the concert turned out well. =)
Praise the Lord! =D
hearts were touched =)

Typewritten by Isaac

Gordon.. with candy..hahah

Pre-service prayer.
Everything has to go just right. So we ask God for help =)



Metro Tabernacle's last Christmas service in Flamingo Hotel. =)
We'll be in our new building near Batu Caves very soon..hahaha.. God willing =)

So this year I thought I'd take some pictures =) I
t helped that I was sitting right at the front. At the very front.
And I mean right at the front. First row. O.o

Very good view of everything. Hahaha. =D
There were Carols! and Singing!



And Presentations!!!

First up was the sketch by Kelvin Kuan and Sis. Ivy. =)
and the three wise (and GPS dependent) men. =P hahahahah


A desperate Joseph (Kelvin) trying to convince the clerk of the Registrar of Births (sis Ivy) to register Jesus.

"So where's the Father??"
"er.. I can't bring you the father.."
"Why can't you? He's too busy?? Is he the CEO of some company or something?"
"Ok ok. I'll tell you a secret. He's God Almighty"
"Ya right.. "
*laughter erupts*

we have come from afar
... seeking a child..
Star?? No.. we use GPS!
*holds up phone*
*laughs*

Then the choral speaking by NexGen conducted by Abigail..



Then the NexGen dancers.. wow.. hahahah... Ju Yi and Jeremy main characters.. =P

Violinists in the corner..

Then then then.. the Chinese Ministry's singing team..
Obviously I didn't understand what they were singing.. =P


Then the King's Kids. With singing too =)

that one boy caused a lot of laughter from the audience.. haha


And then back to worship and carols and .. then the message. =D




"For Christmas Service is never complete without at least part of the Christmas message..."
-Pastor Ong-

God sent His Son, Jesus, to take the form of Man.... and to die for our sins so we could be reconciled with God. =) because God loves us. And God is Love.


these people were saved that night. =) Praise the Lord! =)

12.15 am. I think. >.<

Caught Katrina for pictures before I left. =) tired.


hi Kat. =P

it's been a year.. hahahahaha.. and I'm still wearing the SAME shirt.
(minus the smiley tie). heheheh


and of course James has to be there, doesn't he? =)

piggyface. =P

And with that, it's CHRISTMAS!!!
Merry Christmas. >.< and a Happy New Year!!!! =D

9:20 AM

Christmas Eve!

Typewritten by Isaac

Marathon Day.
Knocked me out at the end. Which would be roughly 1.15am.
It started at 7 am though. Heheheh. =D

Badminton at Sigma.
Next time, (I have learnt) I shall go early to book, with a few friends. Cos we get to play for free before our time slot starts! =D

9.40am till 12.20pm. Official booking time was 10.20-12.20 actually. Hahah.

hahahaha =D

the 6 courts are empty..

Dennis warming up. =D



Then we walked to school..
Then I collected Gordon's PMR results.
He got his straight 7 A's!!
Praise the Lord!!! =D
(and he just flew back from Taiwan at that time. He was at KLIA)

Then off for lunch.. which was somewhere in KL.. Jalan Tung Shin.
Anthony the driver. Wahaha. =P
Actual plans to watch movie were altered somewhat because Anthony wanted to go back earlier to avoid the massive jams that would appear soon.


fuyoh fuyoh..
Jack Kee.. hahaha.. you can't hide..hahahahahahahah =P



Our lunch was, in my opinion, quite funny.
To avoid the jams, Anthony took some back roads. And we ended up at Jalan Tung Shin.
Seized the only available parking lot and made our way up to a food outlet called "Food Stop"

We queried Anthony and he said "Let's try it!"
Ended up with Anthony scolding the waiter because his pasta turned out to be spaghetti with baked beans.. whereas Yem's seafood spaghetti had two mussels and cost less than Anthony's 'pasta'. Aiyoh. Hahaha..
Moral of the story is that we should have ate at Jalan Alor, which was just next door. >.<
These kind of food outlets (like Food Stop) will never offer value for money... =(


RM6.90 each kind of drinks..

Dennis hugging Daniel. hahaha..the last picture I had of them doing this was Graduation Day.
Almost a year ago. >.<

Instead of 10 people watching, we had 4.
Hwa Jiunn, Voon Ho, Daniel and I.

Hwa Jiunn:
"Congratulations! You have won 4 tickets to the movie, Avatar!!"
Hahahahhah =P

Avatar.
Great show. =) should have watched it in 3D. >.<

Meanwhile, those who didn't watch the movie were probably at the arcade... playing Daytona.. hahahaha.. =P

Bumped into Hsien Wei and Voon Keong and Lap Bann outside the cinema. =) Long time no see..haha

They're looking at the CONVERGE invitation cards I gave them



Then I rushed back for Christmas Eve dinner with family =) Happy family. =D

11:40 AM

Random recent photos..

Spanish Doughnuts at the Church's Christmas Bazaar!
=)
quite nice


ISAAC. wow.

Never ever eat at this particular chicken rice shop.
Chicken rice for three. FORTY BUCKS. >.<
And they even had the cheek to overcharge us for an extra bowl of rice which we didn't order.
>.<

Chicken is Rm6.50 per person
nothing to shout about kind of chicken.
Portions are smaller than usual.
Compared to the Shah Alam stall, it's about half the amount.

Rice is 1.70 per bowl.
They bought smaller-sized bowls to cut cost too.

Meatballs are Rm1 each. We bought 9. 3 per person. Rm3 each. >.<

And Gordon's 100plus - Rm2.20.

That's 11.20 for one person's chicken + rice + meatballs in soup.
>.<

Shah Alam has such great chicken rice.
Rm5 for chicken + char siu + siu yok + rice + soup.
Eat until cannot eat somemore.

Even in KL - Nam Heong
Chicken Rice is 5.50. With rice and soup too. And air conditioning as well like the Ipoh one.

Melawati .. the Hainanese Chicken Rice is Rm5.
The rice is heavenly.
Too bad the aunty and uncle are retiring to Australia where their children are.
We'll miss them and their chicken rice. ... of many many years of experience. =)


wow. I ended up ranting about chicken rice. O.o.




Mummy's hand in the hospital.


All sorts of gas tubes.

Visitors. =)
Thank God for caring souls. =)

Part of my being a housewife in the house.
A sliced and broken into half kind of Dory fish fillet. hahaha =)

Mummy's get-well-soon flowers from her student's mum.
They're still surviving.. but a but wilted.


And sending Gordon off.. for his flight to Taiwan with 1st KL BB at KLIA.
Nice place. =)




of randomness and warmth and happiness....... =)

10:41 AM

Food.. and more food.

Typewritten by Isaac



It was the Kemensah Heights cellgroup Christmas Party.
And since my father was one of the main people in charge, my family got to attend!
And I pulled four of my friends along.

Unfortunately Anthony couldn't make it. >.<
But there's always other chances. =)
I thank those who managed to make it =)

Most of what I remember of the party was the fun chatting and eating. And the running around after the party.. from Kemensah Heights to Ampang to Kemensah Heights again then to church then to Bukit Bintang.. then back home.. hahahaha..we reached home at about 1am.
Exhausted.
But happy. =D

Mun Fei was happy too, following us.. hahaha.. within that 2 hours, I sat in four different vehicles.. hehe.. two Kancils, a van and an Atos. hahahahaha =D Mun Fei will remember that night. A tour of Ampang. A visit to Isaac's house for the first time. And a poor hamster. And weird people at Bukit Bintang at 12.30am. >.<.
hahahahaha =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mun Fei in Isaac's house on the couch. =P



And I remember the preparing process the night before and the afternoon before the party itself. Hahaha.. running from the computer to the kitchen.. and back and forth.. hehe.. =P Learning how to make agar-agar (which would later be evaluated by Voon Ho..hahaha)


The party was great. Food was more than enough. We ate until.. we .. well.. we couldn't eat anymore.. hahaha.. then we discovered Cheesecake.. and stuffed ourselves..hahahaha.. thank you to Aunty Lilian.. for the cheesecake. And to Uncle Chong, the host, for the TURKEY. >.< =D


The time chatting with Jasper, Adrian, Mun Fei and Voon Ho, as well as Richmond.. oops, I meant Kendrick, was great too.

Apparently everywhere I go, there's sure to be tales of girls.. *smacks forehead*.
I wonder why that topic is so popular.
Hmm.
Then I guess when girls go out, they talk about guys. =.='

Isn't there anything else to talk about??
And btw Kee An doesn't have a girlfriend.. according to Loke.. hahahahahaha =P
And we were disturbing Mun Fei about girls.. hahaha.. hahaha.. and of course they disturbed me as well. Everywhere I go, people disturb me about girls. Recently it's been about that single picture that has 274 comments on Facebook right now. Well.. it's a nice picture I guess, colour scheme, proportions and all.. and nice smiles..of nice people.. but it's just that. A nice picture.
Argh. *smiles*

Hahahaha. =)

Form 6 life is tough. I kinda pity my friends in Form 6. =(
Gambate to them.. just another 12 months of torture. ... God help them.

Well.. there are pictures. =)

Isaac fanning the flame..hahahahha

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arrival of guests..
found the four guys in the car.. on the WRONG side of the bus stop.
Had to make a detour along the MRR2 to get them in.
Hahah. =) thank God the drizzle ended.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Carols.
*sucks in deep breath*
"Faalllll...............on your knees............ o hear............... the angel voi......ces....."
*breathes in quickly*
"O ni.........iiight........ divine.......o night..... when Christ was born"
*breathes quicker*
"O night................o ho.....ly........night......O night divine"
haha..

Daddy sharing the Christmas message.
Well, it's all about Jesus Christ's birth.
Without Him, there is no reason to celebrate.
So, Jesus is the reason for the season! =D


*grace*
Food!!!


Jasper: "See this! The CREATION. The ART."
Loke: "*holds the plate out and smiles for the camera*"

Wow. *sausage bursts releasing FLAVOUR into mouth*
