Smile Bringer =)

I first met her in 28 March 08. She sat by the 3-seater leather couch, cross-legged, near the right side, wearing a white T, smiling brightly and cheerfully to everyone. She smiled a lot. That was all I could remember from that night.

She still smiles a lot! =)

Easter, March 2008. My church CBC Subang-Sunway produced a play/musical entitled "The Perfect Murdered". In my opinion it was one of the best, if not the best, play that we as a church have ever produced. There weren't any big glitches and it generally went smooth as a baby's bottom. Good memories, good fun, good play, but most of all, people got saved.

While the script itself was entertaining and serious at the same time, the play also engaged the audience with its memorable songs, beautiful set displays, props and elaborate costumes as well as the truly innovative dinner scene which takes place away from the stage, smack in the middle of the audience's seating arrangements. It was a pretty cool idea which really captured the viewer's attention and gave them the surreal feel.

Really beautiful sunset from my aunt's garden.

Taken from a dimsum restaurant. Ipoh is well known for good food, but obviously not English comprehension.
However, having said that, these are wise words to heed indeed! Beware people!

Fisherman at the beach of the jetty to Pangkor island.

Sunset at Pangkor Island Beach Resort.

Pangkor town actually consists of a couple rows of shops!

Beautiful beach sprinkled with crispy fallen autumn leaves.

Below are some photos of kuih-muih in the town of Pusing. City-living folk are unlikely to have heard of such a place, but it's renowned for its delicious kuihs and desserts which are sold in large amounts. Look at all them colours and varieties!

Three-In-One

In my attempt to breeze through my very lagging updates of my life in the past year, I've decided to cut short and browse through several events in one go.

September 07 : Every year during mooncake festival, my family will have dinner together, usually a home-cooked meal and then we would sit outside in the garden (or what's left of it since we tiled the whole area outside) while sipping tea and nibbling mooncake treats. We would then light up colourful paper lanterns and hang them around our house. Haha.

Aluminium-foil-wrapped table. As romantic as romantic gets. Haha.

Steamed grey sweet potatoes and pamelo ready to be consumed.

October 07 : Apart from the free-stay at Genting, we also had a free-stay at Awana Porto Malai, Langkawi thanks to Sam Yee. My family went along with my sister's then-boyfriend's (now he's her husband) family. It was a pleasant trip with many interesting sights. Langkawi is a nice, peaceful yet interesting enough island. We rented two cars and drove all around the island visiting places such as the Gunung Raya cable car ride, jetties with large yachts, the black sands beach, craft musuem, and Dataran Lang where there was a huge statue of an eagle. Oh and of course not to mention the duty-free stalls!

Don't you wish you could hijack one of these and sail across the world?

A quaint homely looking bakery called "The Loaf".

November 07 : Our cell decided to make sushi on Deepavali. Haha...go figure. Having said that, it was a real fun time making sushi with everyone. It was a first time for many of us. We also had a frying pan to cook stuff, korean BBQ style. A fun and relaxing day.

Home-made sushi!

This is how we fellowship @ fei-lou-ship.
