Valentine + Chinese New Year!
Although today is the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, i'm back in college to continue my work already. Nevertheless, last week was really a great week, celebrating Valentine day as well as Chinese New Year! Most of us felt that this year Valentine and CNY are much better than previous years while in UK :D
We had our Romantic CG on valentine day itself. Was surprise that many people turn up :P We had candle-light dinner .... and we instantly understand why couple like to have candle-light dinner, coz in the dim surroundings, you can't really see each other so clearly, meaning all the pimples, 'defect' can't be seen easily! We then split into 2 teams, guys and ladies, for games. Because it's valentine and the guys are so gentlemen, so we let the ladies won the games ......
We then discussed abt the characteristics of our Mr and Mrs Right. Some of the characteristics of Mr Right that the ladies listed out are: God-fearing, same wave-length, caring, understanding, loyal .... which are quite common! For our Mrs Right, we want them to be: low maintenance, high output, can do housework and cook, good mother ... which also sterotype into looking a full-time housewives :P Most importantly, for all those seeking your 'ideal' partner out there, be patient!! Don't rush into relationship (word for an 'old' and 'experienced' me) :D We ended the CG with chocolate foundue ..... left over chocolate from Sunday's Valentine service.
Chinese New Year, my 3rd CNY not spent at home! Don't really feel the CNY atmosphere here actually prior to it .... but really felt so good during the steamboat dinner on Saturday! On Friday, the Hatfield CG and me, we bought so much ingredients from the chinese store and ASDA, even invested in a big steamboat ... in order to feed 25 people! :P Oh, by the way, the CG on that night in Hatfield was good .... where we spent more than 1 hour playing a 'share-your-experience-based-on-the-card-shape' game! Good game to dig out lots of secret :D
Saturday, was in the mood to do spring cleaning of the house ... alas housemates were not really keen, so ended up doing it myself. Anyway, felt satisfied though. People started streamining in around 4pm. Hatfield CG proved themselve to be superior when come to food, especially steamboat! They cut the garlic, sliced the meat ... they are just so pro! By 7pm, most people arrived and hence the feast started! People chatted, joked and enjoyed themselves! For 3 hours, we ate and ate and ate! We then setup the karaoke machine to sing ... when i started singing 'As Long As You Love Me' by 'budak-di-belakang-lorong', all the people in the room playing games suddenly dashed out to see who's singing! Hahah ... so proud actually! My singing can draw people's attention :P
As promised, I sent the Hatfield CG people home. These people were just so high and excited (they didn't have any alcohol). In the van, they were singing on top of their voice, all the way from my house to their house! I was really glad that these people were enjoying each other company and they really looking forward to come every Friday for CG! I am really glad for what God is doing in Hatfield! :D
And last night, after church service, we went to Chinatown to have dinner! Again, we were having so much food and fun! Had so much food, even now i feel so full :P
