In KL ... (Wed)

On Wed, I woke up at 4am .... tot of watching the live match of Man U vs Milan, while preparing myself to go to airport at 5am to catch the early AirAsia flight to KL. I was lazy ... so allowed myself to sleep till 4.30am. Good thing that Man U won 3-2. Went to Kch airport at 5am ... apparently i'm the 6th person checked-in. As long as you check in 45 min before departure time, you are safe. No need 2 hours before departure time. In airport, met a long-lost scout friend, Siaw Fong (is a he :p). We chatted alot, especially asking where's everybody! Most of them married liao! Will arrange to meet up when i come back from Thai Camp.

In KL, was particularly glad that able to meet up with Leanne, Alicia and Michelle. Leanne has mature alot since she left London, and obviously very pretty now as well. Leanne brought me to SS2 for roti canai, then went over to Salvation bookstore. I grabbed hold of a Strong Concordance, the last one they have! It's big and heavy, but it's cheap! :D Then Leanne and I went over to One Utama ... big big shopping centre! She shopped (i did not) .. while i accompanied her! Met up with Alicia and we went for steamboat :D No photos .. coz there are taken with Alicia's camera.

After parting company with Alicia, we went to Low Yatt to meet up with Michelle! She's slimmer now and prettier! I say this not because she treated me Sushi KinG! ahaha It was a pity only can meet for dinner coz I went on to City Harvest KL to attend a Rob Thomson seminar. The church is seriously YOUNG! I feel really really old in the church. The pastor is only 31 years old .. and i think the average age of the church is 21 years old! Anyway, in the span of 6 years since pioneered, now City Harvest KL is 1000 strong.

After the seminar, went to my aunty's place in USJ to bunk in for a night! So glad to see the whole family.. especially my 2 chubby cousins! Forgot to take photos with them .... the 10 years old cousin weight about 60-70kgs! Heavy ler!

Home in Kuching

For those in London who faithfully checking my blog .. very sorry that I have not updated it since i come back to Kuching 5 days ago. It's not that the internet is slow at home, nor i'm so busy ... I am just lazy! :D I will not have any photos for this entry ... coz all photos are in my laptop (now using the pc at home).

Anyway ... since I was back last Friday, I have eaten kolomee (3 times), laksa (twice), ice kacang, kueh chap, tomato kueh tiaw, rojak, chicken rice .... haha! Discovered that Kuching has lots of new eating places. In span of 5 days as well, met many friends: high school classmates, church mates, friends; also knew many news: friends got married, going to have kid .. all those married n have kid one are same age as me.

Kuching itself has changed a lot as well ... many many many new vacant shoplots (really wonder who's gonna buy them), drivers are more ruthless (including me), more funky eating places, living expanses are much higher ....

Glad to be home for a while ... coz I'm too free :P

Will be flying to KL tomorrow and follow by Thailand the day after. so will be away for 10 days. High possibility will not be updating my blog! But i'll try to take lots of photos! I've got my digital camera .. it's my dad's camera!~ Also Canon Ixus but better model! Thank God!

Hope you all are well! :D

NOw in KLIA .. again! 20 April

Woooo, back in Malaysia after a week in Australia! Watched 2 movies on the plane, ate 2 meals (supper and breakfast) and slept most of the time! It was not too bad! Arrived at KLIA at 5.45am, 30 minutes earlier than scheduled

I am now waiting to board the 8.15am flight back to Kuching. Finally i'm going home :D

I am suppose to take the 11.30am flight ... but because of my carelessness, asked my dad to buy the ticket a day earlier. So the ticket is no more valid. I only realise when I was in Brisbane airport last night .. so quickly called my brothers to call home, while i looked for internet connection. Anyway .. everything was sorted. I even can go home few hours earlier!

KOLOMEE, LAKSA, KUEH CHAP, METAHON, SIAW BEE ....... here i come! hahaha

Just as i thought i'm able to board the plane, we've been informed that the boarding gate has now changed, which is about 5 minutes walk! Fine ... walked and walked ... reached the new gate, saw many people waiting. Then looked closer at the infor board - "Delay to 10.00am" .... can't believe it!! It reverted to the flight I suppose to take. Finger-cross that it will not delay until 11.30am (the flight i booked n flied off without me yesterday). We've got a complimentary (consolation more like it) breakfast of either nasi lemak or Burger King. Of course you all know what I'll go for! :D

1 more hour .... KOLOMEE, LAKSA, KUEH CHAP, METAHON, SIAW BEE ....... here i come! hahahahahahahahahahah

Sea World + CG + Tennis + Wave Surfing

After the movie world on Tuesday, me and Gemmy went to Sea World on Wednesday. It was not as exciting as Movie World (then later ppl actually say, DreamWorld is much much interesting that all the other theme parks ... grrr). And one of the bad news for me (good news for some people), my digital camera is now officially broken. *sniff* *sniff*. But the good news is, now i can get a new camera! :P

Back to SeaWorld, so 'surprise' to see Tom n Jerry in a world doesn't belong to them :D Saw polar bear, dolphin, seal, sea lion, fish and sharks! The rides were not as exciting as Movie World. But it was a nice trip though! Sorry folks, not many photos from now on :D

After SeaWorld, we went to the beach, thinking of seeing the sun set. But apparently, the sun set at the other direction. So we went home, prepared for the Gold Coast CG. Was really blessed to see so many people of different nationality worship God together! Siang was really so musically-talented! I heard, he's the 2nd best bassist in church. He also is good in keyboard, drum and guitar! I met Ps. Lance and Bel (pastor's wife), who are both really an inspiring figures in Hope Australia! The CG had farewell for 2 sisters, which I think was really sweet and touching! :D Really enjoy the CG - God is good, cause no matter where I go, i'm able to join the church!

The next morning, me and Siang's housemate, Joe went to play tennis! I felt good playing again after 2 years! I'll play more when i go back london! After tennis, we met up with Gemmy to go to beach for wave surfing! The wave in the beach of Gold Coast was so big! We stayed there for 2 hours! I'm really tanned now! hahaha .. will be more tan when i come back from Thai Camp!

I drove down to Brisbane in Siang's car. It took about 50 minutes to get from GC to Brisbane! Then met up with Jocelyn to have dinner at Vietnamese restaurant! I got to know more about my future sister-in-law (more or less confirm liao :D).

Now i'm in Brisbane Airport, preparing to fly back to Malaysia! Only to realise that, for the journey of Kuala Lumpur to Kuching, we bought the wrong date! Nevertheless, thank God for mobile phone, IDD, and internet... i manage to get Siang and Phin to call dad to sort all these out! I suppose to fly at 11.30am ... because of the blunder, now I am flying back earlier at 10.05am! But it is quite a high price to pay - RM334 (£47).

CONCLUSION (of my trip in Australia) - I am truly blessed by the life of my brothers - Siang, Phin and Ching! And I really give thanks to God for He answered my prayer - as for me and my household, we gonna serve the Lord! Really can't wait to hear from them again in near future how the Then's has contributed to the Kingdom of God! :D

Gold Coast - Movie World + Surfer Paradise

Went with Gemmy, paid AUSD 99 for two theme parks - Movie World and Sea World (will visit tomorrow). We spent 7 hours indulging ourselves in the world of movies and cartoon - Batman, Superman, Looney Tune, Justice League, Shrek, Lethal Weapon, Wild Wild West, Happy Feet etc.. God really blessed us soooo much cause we were able to take photos with so many cartoon characters. We also managed to play the rides twice each. We particularly liked the Superman Escape (0-100kph in 2 secs) and Wild Wild West (get really wet). Shrek 4D was really awesome as well - the effects was amazing! Took quite alot of videos of The Grand Parade (similiar to Disneyland's).
