Was trying to take photos but interrupted by a phone call...ish...
Remember I went back to my high school? Mrs. Kow (right) is still teaching there and I forgot to snap photo with her...so here it is..and her daughter who studied there too, Grace (left).
And of course, my pretty lady, Patricia went with me.
Juwita suwito! She got large & great voice. very grand. vibrant. powerful voice. brilliant.
Mom also wanna be in the picture!
Busy signing autograph
and this is Liang
Liang with the girls! wow!
After waiting for a long time to take picture and get their signatures, we went to Jalan Terrenganu where they sell 'tong sui' aka sugar water. It was good.
Okay, okay, i know i haven't been updating my blog..it's just plain reluctance, that's all. Anywayz, i'm gonna tell you all about the whole event of the easter presentation at my college. Pictures and videos are taken by Dennis.
I was the emcee alright. Was so busy rushing here and there. It was my first time emceeing an event.
My co-emcee, Sam. He did a great job. We first time met Don Budd, our guest performer, a Canadian.
Before the whole event starts, we pray.
Inviting passer-bys to come
and..here we go!
It started off with Don Budd singing a few songs.. then the video "everything lifehouse skit" is shown
The Friday monologue by Josh "The Crucifixion" Video: "Mighty is the Power of the Cross". Pls excuse the mike feedback. However, those unwanted high pitch sound came by when I forgot my lines..hehe..got me covered up.
Saturday monologue by Anna "The Hopelessness"
The audience
Then followed by a skit "Had He not Risen?"
Then came in Anna who continued the Sunday monologue, then followed by Josh. "The Resurrection"
After that, a video was shown, and dancers were prepared in their places. Dancers dance to the song: "Jesus My Only Hope"
Don Budd came in again after the dance, doing some sharing about his personal life and some songs
Last but not least, acknowledgment for Mr Don Budd by Mr. Chin
and for the whole team
Tada! lurve this pic! from left front: Fiona, Clarene, Anna from left middle: Nelly, Amanda, Mia, Janine, me, Sam, Alex, Mr. Chin, Josh from left behind: Mark, Don Budd
This whole thing taught me many things..friendship, trust, working together, planning, preperation, and most of all, is a breakthrough for me to stand as one of the important position, which is emcee. All my life in college, I always get the behind the scenes position, and so, stepping out to emcee is another step for me, and yes, I was nervous for a few days before the real day. But when I put my trust and faith in God that He will not let me down, I regained my confidence. Also thanks to Dennis for all the help and support. Thanks to Mr. Chin, Josh, Sam, Anna (my tai ka che..hehe), Janine for the plannings to ensure it runs smoothly. Thanks to Nelly(dancer), Fiona(dancer), Clarene(actress), Mark(actor) for the presentation. Thanks to Mia & Amanda (projectionists), Benjamin (sound system), Alexander & Mark (photographers). Thanks to those who had helped in any way(ones who set up the sound system, chairs, etc).
The day before this presentation, I almost lose my voice! Afraid that I won't be able to sing a high note, I make sure I drink lots of warm water and avoid spicy food. I guess drinking honey also helped, and above all, thank God I didn't lose my voice totally.
I'm kinda miss those times when we meet up at college and at FGA for practices..haha..am I crazy or what? Usually people don't really like to come for practices, but anyway, we manage to pull it off and did our best!
Anywayz...if I were to blog about what I have been up to for the past weeks, it'll be a super long post with lots and lots of pix..so, first up, let me summarize to you..

The bilik guru environment
Me + Sam
We were like lingered longer just to catch up with each other... Everyone whom we met in school has the same comment on Sam: she had became so slim...Sam, eat more!!
Phew!! Finally I'm done with my finals yesterday, and today...I have the freedom to fly..weeeeee~ BUT, not so soon yet. My laptop just crashed yesterday night when I needed to do my stuff..Grrrr..when I switched it on, the screen just remain blank though the keyboard LED lights indicate that it's on. Of course, I get my dad to see what's wrong with it, and he said it could be it's motherboard problem...ish ish ish..and so, because of that, I can't post up any pictures here.
This morning I went back to my high school with Samantha to get my SPM official cert and 1119 English cert, and boy, my school changed big time can! There were tables and benches, pondok and astakah, more variety of food in the canteen, toilet sign, and of course, majority of the teachers are new to me.
It's really a nostalgic journey for me as I glance thru the places which I usually hang out. It's been about 3 years ever since I left that school, so most of the students that I knew had long graduated.
I'm glad that I got to meet back the teachers that had taught me before. Some even had been there ever since I was form 1.
Then in the afternoon, I went to college to complete the easter poster for KDU pg CF with Alexander. After two and a half hour, with the advise from Mr. Chin we finally completed and saved it. What's foolish of me is, instead of saving it as photoshop format (psd), I saved it as pdf (adobe). Now I can't edit the layout thru photoshop anymore...Grrr....What was I thinking? Hmm... Well, at least all is completed and there are no changes that we plan to make. After that, we went and print it, then went to Hameed Nasi Kandar at Penang Road. I tell you, the sup kambing is fantastic! Even the roti bom is also not bad.
Well, that's all from me now. Will be posting pictures of my school and the poster next round.
Lately I had been very much into hiking. Whenever I got the time and the chance, I won't hesitate. So, if any of you guys or gals are interested, just give me a call or message me. Usually I would go to Bukit Hijau (at Jalan Besi, Greenlane area), Bukit Jambul, Penang Hill, Youth Park..or any places that you guys could suggest to me? In the near future, I would be joining with my cell group members to Pantai Keracut on Labour Day, and that would be my first time there. But I would like to go there and survey first. So, anyone interested??
