Fun Gathering

.310109. Chinese New Year Day 5 @ Os Residence

Finally, I'm coming back to my chinese new year post. LOL. Just a few more to go. But before that, I had a bad football game just now. It was a inter-neighbourhood football match in Desa Parkcity and our team lost, missing the opportunity to enter the semi finals. Owh well, we played well though. Perhaps a little unlucky.

On the 5th day of CNY, a few of my cell members gathering at Os place for a simple makan + wine + monopoly. It was pretty fun and it's my 2nd time playing with them. I learned my lesson in the first game though. At the start, I was kind of monopolizing the game only to be swept away by Juni at the end of the game thanks to a cunning guidance from Os who was well bankrupt by then. Anyway, we had great fun that night.

Here's some photos...


*os has lotsa set of mini tea sets!!*


*it goes fantastically well with the sabah chilli!! PEDAS best!!*


*here comes the monopoly session (US edition)*


*as usual, i chose the MCD fries hoping to be as successful.. LOL*

Next up... Let me unpack my photo folders and see what he have in the remaining days of my chinese new year... LOL

My Malaysian Dreamgirl updates are done too!! Will be published in the Malaysian Dreamgirl blog real soon!!

Matthew First Birthday

.280209. Matthew First Birthday @ Jason's Residence

The last time I celebrated a kid's birthday was last year September when I celebrated Joshua's 2nd birthday!! Last Saturday, it was Matthew who finally turns 1!! Proud daddy Jason and mommy MooiLi invited the cell members to join in the celebration and we were treated with lots of yummy food!! The roast pork and chicken was specially fantastic together with the super nice chilli.

Remembering MooiLi once bought him a mickey mouse toy thingy back from the States, I decided to buy Matthew a Mickey soft toy hoping that he would like it. To my surprise, Mooi Li told me that that was his favourite!! I was happy that I got him the right gift!! Apparently, the cake that afternoon was also a Mickey Mouse design. LOL

Here's some photos...


*lotsa yummilicious food!! the roast meats are at the other end*


*nice cake??? +D I thought it was really pretty*


*mommy helping matthew blow the candle while daddy looks on*

Can you remember your own first birthday??? Well, I still have a photo of my first birthday though. What a memory to keep especially with the digital era now. We can really snap all we want!!

Happy Chinese New Year

.260109. Ushering the Year of Ox!!

Gong Xi Fatt Chai!! Blessed Chinese New Year to everyone!!! Woke up at 8.00am and had a pretty cozy breakfast with my family. Then, we jammed again!!! Super early in the morning to battle it out the the drum rolls banging across my neighbourhood!! Lion dance and fire crackers everywhere!!! What a way to start the morning. My eldest sis played the piano while my 2nd sis strums the classical guitar as my dad brushing up back his old time goodies with the acoustic and me jamming the newly bought electric guitar!! wakakka... We simply bang our instruments off!!

Anyway, here's the new header for my cell's blog, Goshen. Thanks to Brenda for designing it entirely by herself!! *applause*


*moo moo year!!!*

Time to collect ang pow!! =D

Monopoly US Edition

.230109. Goshen Unofficial @ Os Residence

Just got home from mini cell gathering. A pretty cozy 5 person of dinner & monopoly. Thanks Osbert for the pretty dinner and Michael for the wine.

Played a new version of a very classic game which is monopoly "US Edition". It was pretty cool as I have not been playing this game for like dunno how many years!! LOL =D Anyway, just realised that those days when we were younger, all the rules and game plans are pretty much invalid. In addition to that, this is a more serious business-game!! A little practical in life if we have that amount of money in life though!! LOL (Each of us started with US$15million.


*here's the board game... i was using McD fries and aeroplane was the eventual winner*

Anyways, am still a little sicky with mild flu but a bad throat. Hope to get well soon...

A Purposeful Blog Ahead

.080109. New Blog for Cell

I was having a chat with Nigel this afternoon and it was a pretty random chat. However, there was something he mentioned that struck my thought. YA Blog. Why Not? =D

*test page of my cell's new blog =D*

I just came home from my Goshen core member's first meeting of the year to discuss about the plan and also review on last year's activities. We had quite a good discussion and thoughts exchange. When I came home, I didn't know why, my mind just prompted me to create a blog for my cell. I came up with a pretty plain template from blogspot, organised everything properly and decide to share it with my members tomorrow. I believe deep down in my heart, hopefully and finger crossed, this new blog will bring a whole new purpose and dimension to both my Goshen cell members in one way or another. It would be an online space where we can share our testimonies as well as to keep the memories of our activities throughout the year and the days to come =) Who knows?? Someone out there would probably be touched deeply in such a way in times of need?? At least, I had that experience before when some of my reader thank me for some thoughtful posts =D

*singapore trip update where i left off*

Owh well, I shall continue my Singapore trip updates where I left off at Sentosa Island probably tomorrow =)

Goshen2 Christmas Party

.111208. Christmas Party Update 1 @ Goshen 2


Just got home from Singapore and it was certainly a great 5 days and 4 nights stay over there, crashing in at my sister's house!! Thanks Cher for the warm hospitality and taking care of grandma and me. Sis brought me to many places for food and fun!! More updates about it soon...

*amazing night view at esplanade*

Owh, before I continue... Got a shocking news from Joshua that I am selected as one of the official blog contributor for Malaysian Dreamgirl Season 2 beginning this Sunday!! Goshh!! I am so overwhelmed and looking forward to start a whole new blogging experience with the team involved!! =D

Now back to where I left off... Last Saturday, I went for 2 Christmas parties. The first one was in Jason's house at 3pm while the latter one was in Sai Kit's house. Had great food, fun carols and of course, a wonderful story about the "Cradle of Life"!! The true meaning of Christmas unveiled. In John 3:16, it says "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life". The greatest truth I've ever known!! Hehehe.. And of course singing Christmas carols is always fun!!

And here it was...

*door gift beautifully prepared by G2 members*

*pretty decos in Jason's house*

*Os led us into a time of Christmas Carols*

*showing just a few of the many home made dishes*

*special dish from our Aussie friend, Alison*

*true meaning of Christmas unfold*

We had great fun that day!! Fun games led by Sheila and Juni. The sharing of cradle of life story by Lydia together with Lui and Hao Yee and also a great testimony and sharing by Michael. All in all, everyone enjoyed themselves that afternoon and we ended the party with gift exchange !!

.221108. Goshen Outing @ Lake Garden

Just a few more photos before I move on to Putrajaya photos. Yesterday, after the family shots for Jason and MooiLi with baby Matthew, the boys, excitedly, took a group photo as well just for memories. Soon after we left Lake Gardens, we headed to Petaling Jaya's famous banana leaf rice @ Raju Curry House as recommended by Osbert. The food there are not too bad just the the service a little slow. Good environment and setting though.

Cell Multiplication Night

.111008. Goshen Cell Multiplication @ Sai Kit's Residence

It was a night of mix feelings where joy and celebration blends with a sense of heavy heart as Goshen multiply into Goshen II =D Goshen has came along way throughout these years and all of us have been so blessed to be part of the family. It is now time for us to open the door so that the blessings can be shared and overflow to others out there.

We had a thanksgiving night on Friday to celebrate Goshen's multiplication and it was a potbless gathering. As usual, we had lotsa lotsa food before worshipping the Lord and sharing testimonies. All that, wrapped up with a simple yet powerful message from Ps Lee Choo before we close with giving back all praises to God!!

*wonderful cupcakes so carefully made by Sheryl!! thank you!!*

*CL SaiKit and JinMay with Ps LeeChoo cutting the cake*

*one big happy family!! Once GOSHEN, always a GOSHEN!!*

Goshen is now officially multiplied and we are looking forward to more multiplication and God's direction for both Goshen I and Goshen II.

Happy Family

Just came home from Nuffnang's "Mama Mia!" movie screening @ GSC One Utama. Well, I would say that it was quite ridiculous to watch that movie in the beginning though but since I love those Abba goody songs, I thought it was a good movie to release some tense and crack your head abit by laughing it all out sillily in the cinema with a bunch of blogging friends!! LOL!!

Thanks JoshuaOng for inviting me to the movie screening of course and I thought it was great to finally hang out with you guys again after busying with my workload!! Haha..

Here's the final uploads of another Joshua's birthday pix...

Baby Josh turns 2

.190908. Josh 2nd Birthday Celebration @ OSC Residence

Hope everyone's weekend is going well!! If life isn't going the way it should be or if there's any storms in life that you are going through, read Romans 8:28-39!! As quoted from Ruthz, "life is like a massive jigsaw puzzle, sometimes pieces fall out of place, but sometimes when time is right, everything falls in place. There's always a reason behind everything". As Pastor Lee Choo quoted in church today, everything happens for a purpose and that everything is for the good works of God's purpose!! Nothing can seperate us from the Love of God!! Cheers to that!!

Okay now, back to lil Joshie's birthday celebration. 2 days ago , we celebrated Joshua's birthday at Osbert and Sheila's house and it was a fantastic night of makaning!! LOL Best part was, it was all prepared by Osbert!! (with a little help from his mom-in-law and Lui)
