Paintball!

Jon invited me to join his friends for paintball war last sunday. This place in Kuang, Sg. Buloh had great landscape. They had jungle (which we didn't go into) and urban scenario with huts, trees, barricades etc. Great fun! Here are some pics.



The group before us... check bottom of post for video...




Our 'enemies'...


Half of our team... Masks on!


jeng jeng jeng...


Discussing strategy before action...


In action... i squat like a girl, haha... but it's the best to keep low, and ready for take off...


After...


So many places to hide...


here's a video of the other team playing...

Teens games...

more marbles!


paper, scissors, stone... move, move!

---insert title here---

what is this i feel?
frustration eating from inside out
gnawing at the corners of my soul
who am i?
what have i become?
flights of fancy, moonless nights
soaring high on dragon back
as the petals hit the ground
and salt runs down the cheek
sad songs ease the piercing hurt
andrenaline dilutes the hate
but will not calm the storm
tea leaves swirl and dance
and i cling on to the promise made

Marble Madness...

Ok, so i had to think of an interesting title for this blog. Part of last week's teen's club lesson was a task to build a marble roller coaster track. Roller coasters being the subject of the day. Ups and downs, twists and spins, all add to what make roller coasters fun. Of course the lesson was that life is fun and good too, if we keep to the track. Imagine what happens if a roller coaster car goes off the tracks, well many people's lives are like that if they don't allow God to be in charge and keep them on the right track. My lesson seemed to fall flat right from the beginning because only one of the children had ever taken a roller coaster ride! Yes, only one... sigh... I had to show then videos on my laptop, so they had a virtual ride :)







Failures are a part of learning


Finally, it works!


Two more tracks, if you have to chose only one video to watch, this is the one!


Oh, we also celebrated Adrian, Hsin Ren and Karnan's birthdays. Actually the cake belongs to Adrian courtesy of Aunty Sharon but we sang for the others as well...

Roscoe the great hunter...

Here's Roscoe with his catch of the day!

Soap images...

Take a step back away from your pc and tell me if you see a pig and a bear on the soap...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Pics are not so nice cos they were taken on the phone...

Beginning...




Mummy all dressed and ready to go visiting...




Me and Josh


Cheryl, Jess and Ben


Tiffany's a cutiepie!


Cheryl and Tiffany


All over...

Mimi's got a new home! ( and a new name, i hope..)

Don't get me started on irresponsible pet owners. People who buy a dog for example, just because it looks cute. And then have no time to care for it and neglect it. Poor Mimi was finally adopted by a friend of a friend who needed a doggie to replace one who had died of old age. Because the late doggie's friend was lonely ;)



Mimi stayed the night in our home before we passed her to Lynn, Han's colleague. Her fur is so matted that she'll need a shave...



She has a waggy tail and a licky tongue :D Just a little timid cos she was prob beaten, but I'm sure her confidence will return with lotsa tlc.

Soo Aun went shopping...

... for ladies clothes.

Ok, so now i have graduated from shoes to clothes. YC told me about the sale on weds but i wasn't in the office. Wouldn't quite have dared venture up to the 20th floor of amoda building all by myself anyway, visions of crazy aunties and sale crazed women grabbing at bargains don't really attract me. Ah, but after having lunch with YC yesterday, she took me there and surprisingly things were pretty civil, considering the bargains. The words i heard most often uttered in the short half an hour i was there were, "wah, dai do lan ah!", loosely traslated as it's so worth it, it's rotten!
After getting used to my surroundings and feeling more comfortable, i was able to slowly become less dependant on YC. Soon she had to go back to the office, but not before showing me some good deals and discussing if cheryl or mei could fit into them. I would have happily checked out the shoe section too if my dealer hadn't called to say he was waiting for me in my office.
So, thanks to YC and hurray for sales! i leave you now with pics of the best bargains of year 2007! i have officially purchased a designer skirt and pants!






couldn't resist but to let the original price tag show slightly...

Karnan gets big air!

Finally fulfilled our promises to take the siblings to the waterfall today. Here's a video of Karnan displacing water and Kumar doing the dead man drop...

Bathing Roscoe

Unlike Bloc, Roscoe hates having a bath. Initially Cheryl tried bathing him with warm water in our shower, but now she just bathes him on a hot sunny day out in the garden. It's not fair you see, what if Bloc suddenly calls it favouritism and want to bathe in our shower too?! Haha...









No pics of him getting blown dried tho, sorry...

Baby Josiah

This are the latest pics of baby Jojo... he's sooo adorable ain't he?






Aaargh, so geram... wanna squeeeze him!

1 year old!

I just realised that this blog is just about one year old! Happy birthday, blog :)

Momok's new home!

Thanks to Mervynn for two 2.5' tanks, Momok's got a new home. He was outgrowing his 2' tank already. One day, i'll need to dig a pond in the garden and just hope that Roscoe doesn't fall into it, hahah...

Here's Momok in his new home!


Closer...

i love his spiky tail..


Just in case you didn't know, momok's a common snapping turtle. Agressive, powerful jaws and pretty eyes, hehe...

guitar workshop!

This is what our workshop looks like now! Haha... nice?



This is (Dr.) Steven. This was when he was at the Taylor factory last year. He has taught me all i know about guitar repairs. I learnt from him a few years ago when i was still with dynamic sound and last week during his visit i learnt even more!

Aunty Cheong update

Aunty Cheong, whom i shared about in prayer meet, is the cleaner in my office. She had her op yesterday and is resting in UH now. Thanks to Dr. Merv who managed to get her ward and bed number for me. Mum went to visit her today and met her elder sister and niece. She was very touched by the visit and let mum pray for her. Thanks for taking the time to go visit her, mum. i knew i could count on you. Also, thanks to everyone who has been praying.
