bat caves, human graves, baby faves and Easter raves

Yes, yes it has been awhile since I blogged, let alone went online, have just been in limbo (Internet wise) hahahah so I'm back in action! Blogger, Facebook, Twitter and what not~

Continuing from my Penang trip....my dad brought us to a BAT CAVE TEMPLE!!!

I mean freaky~ and also COOL!!! I was so close to the bats!!! They weren't in cages or anything! So when I took the pictures my flash was on and THREE of them actually FLEW down and I think they wanted to attack me BUT when they got closer....I figured they decided to better not risk it cause I am much bigger then they thought HAHAHAHAHHAHA

So I was in Penang not so much for holidays but for the Ching Ming Festival......here's some pictures....

When you ask my parents why do we actually put the flags or the gold+white paper on the grave here are the responses:

Mum: *gives you the look* (you know the look that tells you) "if i say put just put, don't ask so much"

Dad: "for decoration so the grave will look nicer"

HAHAHAHAHHAAH In other words they also don't know~ HAHAHAH I am guessing they put it because.........other people put so they also want to put HAHAHHAHAh No seriously we never actually put before one! Until my parents saw other relatives put...then they follow....hai~

It seems like I went for a tour right~ hahahahah taking pictures here and there~ I kinda did, my dad took this trip as an opportunity to bring me to places in Penang that I've never been to before like the Penang Dam! It was cool ok~ but didn't bring my camera :(

So in one of the temple where my grandfather's remains were kept....basically a temple lah I made a new friend! Hahahahah I took like 30+ shots of the spider....didn't give him/her a name cause i didn't want to get attached to it! Wakakak but seriously you do get bored when your mum does EVERYTHING and just asks you to wait!

On a lighter note....

I laughed so much when I saw the number plate HEHEHEHEHEH "PEE" if only got a number plate PEE 247! HAHAHHAHA Get it~ my mum was like this most of the time.....

Texting 247....she should get a number plate of SMS 247 ;) HAHHAHAHAH

And here's JAYLENE!!! (well at least that's how i THINK her name is spelled....

Pissed cause got a foot in her spotlight...

but then....don't even know where the camera is.....

but still gets pissed if she's not the only one in the picture....

She may look adorable but OMG she SCREAM....not cries...SCREAMSSSSS BLOODY MURDER when she doesn't get any attention! Middle of the night! Early in the morning! Late in the afternoon! Basically when OTHERS are trying to SLEEP!!! Hahahah and again she's HUGE!!! Like she's only 7 months! And if you see her you'll think that she's at least 1+ years already :P

Then got back to SINGAPORE :) for EASTER!!!!

The Easter services was AMAZING!!! We had 18 different services over a period of 3 days!! I mean WOW!!! I only went for 3 of the services lah! And they were all POWERFUL!!! Thousands upon thousands of people gave their life to Jesus! Praise and Worship....anointed! Drama....first class! Preaching by Pastor Kong....out of this world!

For our cell group we had more than 19 friends who came for Easter :D PTL!!! And our friends got Easter eggs from us (actual hard-boiled and dyed chicken eggs not chocolate eggs) and we went crazy creative with our eggs! Hahahah

The Mohawk...

The Nerd....(notice the braces)

The Nose Hair......
HAHAHAHAHHAA YI QUAN'S CREATION!!! He's so funny!!

We also had like two eggs who were cyclops....had only one eye....cause we were scared not enough eyes to go around HAHAHAHHA

So now I am back in action! Blogs, wall posts, twits, emails, uploads, downloads, and the whole nine yards :P

Have a GREAT week ahead you!!!

You Can!

When I can't figure out what to give,
You can.
When I can't imagine myself being whole,
You can.
When I can't understand what I am doing,
You can.
When I can't leave everything behind,
You can.
When I can't see the harvest,
You can.
When I can't offer up a sacrifice,
You can.
When I can't see the peace,
You can.
When I can't gather the courage to return,
You can.
When I can't make sense of all my trials,
You can.
When I can't see myself being a leader,
You can.
When I can't seem to defeat my enemies,
You can.
When I can't seem to fit in,
You can.
When I can't see myself as a warrior,
You can.
When I can't put aside my pride,
You can.
When I can't have the strength to go on,
You can.
When I can't fulfill a promise,
You can.
When I can't see the King in me,
You can.
When I can't find the right One,
You can.
When I can't bear it all,
You can.

14.03.09

hello readers!

This post is created in the honour of the most sexiest girl born on this day 20 years ago!! Do you really think that you know it ALL about her ;) well here's 20 things which you MIGHT not know about her majesty the Queen of Sexiness:

1. She's SUPER KINKY!! She LOVES taking pictures with poles ;) once she even forced a friend to do it with her in Rizqun :O
2. She's SO KINKY that once while pole dancing......using a rain pipe....there was so much enthusiasm that the pipe came lose...and came tumbling down HAHAHAHAH oh how i love that moment!
3. She nearly got eaten....ok maybe not eaten...but lets say attack along with her two friends by crazy ass dogs that seems to strategically surround them from all corners of the world!
4. She has her own "special" music video in memory of D.O.A
5. She's not really indian....her favourite food is a HUGE Big Mac washed down with McFlurry and her favourite holiday is Chinese New Year (cause of Ang Pows) when in fact she's suppose to love tandoori chicken and celebrate Deepavali wearing her super cool Sari...in fact i don't think I've ever seen her wearing a sari before...
6. Although not "officially" Indian, she still gets offended when you ACCIDENTLY colorize her....so watch out! HAHAHHAHAHA
7. OMG she is CHEAP!!! Like you have NOOOOOOOOOOO IDEA~ Hahahah but but BUT I am also really cheap! I mean we buy our clothes from outlet stores and we love them! Even at such outlet stores we or more specifically SHE can still spend over $100 Hhahaahha do YOU have a problem with that~
8. When really nervous especially in meeting David Beckham...she has NO IDEA on how to act....but seriously how many of us really know how to act around celebrities....
9. She's a Gold Digger....HAHAHAHAHAH so watch out guys HAHAHAHAH ok this is NOT proven YET!! But the future will determine whether this holds any substance HAHAHA
10. According to one of her friends....her mum owns a "sniper" :O hahahahaha so again guys watch out...however the sniper seems to be only used on that friend of hers!
11. At one point in her life she for some reason or another thought a guy was cute JUST CAUSE of his HAIR.... -_-" she then realised it could be that time of the month HAHAHAHHA
12. Once she was caught playing with "dirty balloons" (which are used for protection) in the class in her Secondary Years.....HAHAHAHAHAH if you know what i mean ;)
13. She loves using the PAINT program on her computer for cutting and pasting in "editing" and "fantasizing" with the sole purpose of creating the perfect......HAHAHAHHAHAAH
14. She's the BEST manual car gear shifter any driver (in his most vulnerable state) can ever ask for HAHAHHAAH
15. She can EAT!! Like oh my can she eat!! McDonalds followed by IDEAL followed by Chills followed by Jolibee followed by Kokoberry followed by Fratini's followed by Coffee Zone followed by Escapade Sushi followed by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf....there goes you're yearly allowance in one day....
16. She would go to the gym just HOPING that she would bump into my two guy "friends" seeing if anything would happen HAHAHAHAHHAHA
17. She's all out in following another friend who would in-turn drag me along to go guy stalking...only to find out....:O
18. She was once stuck with two friends and had no choice but to take a boat followed by a taxi to the most happening place in town only to seek cover to avoid embarrassment from "the couple" HAHAHHAH
19. Would have SELECTIVE HEARING......insisting that she heard ERECT rather than the word REACT and in a CLASS full of NOISY TEENS, although at one end of the class she can hear words such as bra/briefs/circumcised/sex/and other words related when it is being uttered at THE OTHER END of the class....and IMMEDIATELY her head would turn to the direction and she would be HOOKED onto the conversations that would evolve HAHAHAHHA
20. ABOVE ALL ELSE, the MOST IMPORTANT, MORE IMPORTANT than points 1-19 She is without a doubt the most caring with a K, most Remarkable, most Youthful, most Special-one of a kind, most Talented, most Loved/Loving, most Extraordinary woman that anyone can ever get to know!!!!

Happy 20TH!!!! I'm sure You know who you are ;) and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want me to name names :) Missing you loads and Loving you even more!!! We'll be seeing each other soon!!!

So today, as in, at this moment in time, like really at 8.39pm we're (My BioMed class) having a computer assisted lesson about Immunohistochemistry BUT the there seems to be somthing wrong with the website so ALL of us are basically distracted now using the computer for "other projects" HAHAHAHAHHA

Some of us are using Facebook, others are using YouTube, well I'm of course using Blogger, still others are reading other people's blog, playing games online, and our lecturer is now just making conversation about our previous field trip!

So FUNNY!!!! This is what happens when we allow technology to take over the teaching......HAHAHAHA

OK NOW AT 8.46pm we're going to be dismissed! Hahahaha this is so silly, so till next time :)
