too bad none of the elders and some others couldn't make it for the night :(
-
-
after dinner, Evonne, Ben-ji, Dorin and myself decided to head over to Tracy's house to see Patches, Tracy's kitten she got from Evonne.
-
a REALLY excited Dorin. jeezzzz ahahah!
and here is....
-
PATCHES!
-
when Tracy said that it was a kitten, i didn't thought it would be this young! goodness!
-
Dorin, "HI PATCHES! owhhhh ur sooooo cute! wanna go on a date with me??"
-
Ben-ji, "HI PATCHES! wanna be a steamboat cat??"
*Tracy glares at Ben-ji*
*Ben-ji smiles like a monkey!*
-
me? i just made a HAPPY FACE!
-
the thing is, Tracy can't keep Patches cause its actually against her landlord's rules to keep pets! on top of that, Patches is growing, FAST!
she said she'd bring it back to Miri if she could, but she's not allowed to bring it into the passanger section of air asia.
PLUS, according to our dear vertically over-sized Dr. Vinod, Patches will be petrified and freezed to death if left in a cage in the cargo section of a plane cause it's FRIGGIN COLD THERE! i'm just wondering how'd Dr. Vinod know that lol!
-
anyone who wants to adopt Patches? do let me know yeah!
its female and the vetenarian says there's some Persian blood in Patches! I LOVE PERSIANS!
but heck, i'm an out-stationed student myself! and i have TWO FAT CATS back home in Miri already!

2 years + 2 months ago and first-times!

me went, me saw, me likey!

Yesterday, Pastor Bruce Monk from the Equipper's Church, London came over to Acts Church as an invited speaker! he preached abt the IMMENSE love that God has for us as well as God being the gardener of our soul! it was GREAT and i actually felt spiritually refreshed after listening to his sermon. but SOME OF US, were doing this at the back rows...
-
-
JENG JENG JENG! Mark and Jason were sleeping!
-
HAHAH! NOLAH! no way would they sleep during sermon nor miss out the chance to hear Pastor Bruce speak! i mean, who would? :p
turns out they were sleeping only AFTER the morning service to regen cause that evening was the...
-
WHEE!
and it was AWESOME! students from all over the Klang Valley decided to come and flood the place. there were students from Taylor's Col (woohoo TAYLOR'S!), segi, IMU, MMU, SAE, UM and many more unis and colleges which i can't remember. hey, there were too many!
and look who decided to pop-in...
-
ITS ANN-CHAN! (JO ANN!)
-
here's the story. around 2 years ago + 2 months ago in Nov/Dec of 2005 (according to Ann la nih. me memory very fuzzy :] THANKS ANN!), i attended the Planetshakers Conference 04' which was held at Sutera Harbor, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. AND IT WAS GREAT! anyway, there was this rule that said "NO PICTURES/CAMERAS ALLOWED!"
but me, being the one who's too hyped abt seeing planetshakers for the 1st time uhh... didn't care? ahahaha!
so, i was trying to take this picture see and it took some time just to take a pic cause there were so many people around me, pushing to get closer as well as jumping to the loud music. suddenly there was a tap on my shoulder.
i turned around and saw and SUPER short, but REALLY good-looking gal with an 'usher' nametag. she said, "sorry, strictly no pictures, please"
i was... younger then... and... yeah... i went up to her after the conference for the day, did some small talk, got her email and number and we stayed in touch till now and...
YEAH, THAT'S the story of how i met Jo Ann! HAHAH! kind weird now, isn't it? HAHAH!
-
Ann and Ben ----> she's shorter than Ellie! WOW!
-
and how we (friends of hers in the church) met her?
she sms-ed Ben-ji, saying that she's in KL. so Ben-ji called her...
Ben-ji, "what're doing here in KL for!"
Ann, "for my dentistry interview la!"
Ben-ji, "which hotel u staying at ah?"
Ann, "Summit Hotel"
Ben-ji, "ha? Summit Hotel ah! uhh... u do know that Acts Church is in Summit Hotel, right?"
Ann, "IT IS??"
-
hahahahahahahahahahahahah! PRAISE GOD for this! cause a few days ago, i was wondering abt how Jo Ann is, since we haven't kept in touch for a few months already! she's doing her interview at IMU btw.
it was AWESOME meeting up with her (more like i had to run down to the lobby to meet her lol) and she DID grew taller! by... an inch in these few years? or was it the high heels? hmmmm... :]
we talked for a while and sat-in during Pastor Bruce's sermon during evening service!
but after that she had to leave real quick to meet up with her parents for dinner. LIKE THAT LA! LEAVE UR LONG-TIME-NO-SEE FRIENDS LA!
and then it was time for the U Campus Movement Lunch and a special in-house dinner!

hmmm... food was good!
