Tomok's Kenduri - 12.06.09

Dragon invited us to go for Tomok's (the one in a million season 3 winner) Kenduri at his house in Desa Permai, Cheras. I think it's something like a thanksgiving celebration for winning OIAM. No regrets going cuz we met Jac and her protege there and there were so much food including "tau fu fah"!. His place is a open gated community with guards, looks very nice and warm. I guess a lot of his relatives are also staying there including his sister, Isma. She was the only female in the finals for AF this season. They are celebrating this together.

They even gave away thank you pens to all who came ... very thoughtful of them. The whole family is very friendly.

Here's wishing them the very best in whatever they do and may they soar to greater heights.

Happy Chap Goh Mei

Wow the 14 days of CNY passed so very quickly and now it's the last day of CNY ... Happy Chap Goh Mei to all. I wonder if people still go and through oranges in the sea ....

Well CNY has been the same for us and this time we had our gathering at 3rd uncle's house in Taman Midah. This year we made a change. After going to visit MIL, we went to my dad's house and then straight to 3rd uncle's house. Means this year we missed Frank's eldest aunty's place. If we would have gone to his aunty's place, we will be very late so this year we were the second earliest to the gathering and many were quite surprised to us there so early :) ... anyway ... it was good to gather once a year and this time we took a family picture of the whole gang except for Philip who had to leave to go to Sitiawan. Still waiting for Alvin to send us the photos.

We had a small open house on Saturday night and we could not invite some due to the food matter. But all in all it was fun and we had 2 big plates of yee sang and everyone including the kids were also tossing them up high .... the higher the better ... for a better and good year ahead !

Merry Christmas 2008

My first year as a Christian ... celebrating Christmas. It feels different cuz this year, I eagerly awaited for Dec 25 to come so that I can go to church for Christmas Worship. We started at 10.30 am, attended worship at church then had a wonderful lunch, thank you Lord! Thanks Kenny, Leon and Joy for joining us on this special day. I hope they will come back again soon.

Then after church we went to do some shopping for Sally's kids. Came back home at 4.30pm to shower and freshen up before going to Pastor's house for dinner. I felt that his house is really very warm and cosy but I never felt that when I was there at other times before. Food was GREAT ! .... we had asam laksa, roast turkey, chicken pie, mash potato (very the creamy n yummy), roast lamb, quiche, pengat ... yummylicious ....

At about 9pm we left for Sally's place ... Great food again, all cooked by her kwai loe hubby. We didnt know that he could cook so well. Her 2 kids were such darlings especially Ai Ling ... she's so adorable like a barbie doll but she wont let you take photos with her or of her but we tried and hope it came out well.

So this whole day has been eating and eating and meeting friends.

Thank you Lord for everything .... we are very fortunate to be in the midst of great friends and good food.
