Woah! First Christmas now New Year?! lol!

Remember when I told you about not getting to celebrate a proper Christmas in my previous post? Now I won't event be able to celebrate a proper New Year as well! XD

Well, first, my parents are out to survey an area in the northern provinces of Laos for their work because things are not really going well for their company and they're having problems with the finance which is bad.. Because... Ok let me write out an equation for you:

Parents   +   Bad Finances in company   =   Low income   +   No New Year money for me XP

They were suppose to be back by today, but they still have to carry on with their work and they gotta do it fast because the New Year's gonna start and if they delay it any further, things are not gonna be pretty.. XP And I do understand what they're going through and if it means not being able to celebrate the New Year together then its really alright.. =)

But another thing I found out was that I have Sinus Infection! O_O"! I looked it up the internet just now when I thought it was getting a lil serious.. I recently had puffy eyes, the part below my left eye is numb and I've been having this headache in the morning..

The strange thing is how I came to know about the name for it.. I just heard it from Joe Cheah who came over to Laos months ago and told me about the same infection that he had and the pain is driving him nuts! Its freaking painful, and I read it up on the internet just now and it advised not to go on air travel when having the infection.. Now I know why.. XP

He said its the result of blowing your nose too hard and I am just surprised because I was praying last night, so afraid of what is happening and suddenly I thought of what Joe Cheah told me about what he had that time and I remembered these days that I've been blowing my nose pretty hard..

I thank God especially for moments like those when He just go "you have me on your side, and you know that I can do all things, and yet you're still afraid of what is gonna happen to you?".

And I don't think I would be able to know what's happening to me if it wasn't for Him opening up ways for me to find it because instead of Sinus infection, I was typing "Synal infection" on the Google search bar! LoL!

Happy New Year everyone! =)

A glimpse of Lao Decoration for the season! =P

Ahaha! Just when I was telling Lai Lin about the decorations 2 days ago, I came across the exact picture I was describing to her about! =P Haha! Just when I thought they were wrapping the trees blue and yellow for some religious tradition...

=P

Christmas the Lao way.. XP

Hey Guys! Merry Christmas to all of you! =D Have a joyful blessed week up ahead y'all! 

Christmas for me this year, being in Laos was quite unusual.. lol! But nevertheless Christmas is Christmas! Hehe! Its not the gifts, decorations or songs that counts but the real reason why its celebrated in the first place which is the birth of Christ the Saviour! =D Hosanna in the highest! =)

With my parents being busy even during Christmas (Yeah I was really surprise that the students even have school and workers still have work on this day! O_O"), we had to celebrate it in a different way.. =P

On Christmas eve, My family and I went for dinner at a French Restaurant called "La Terrase", which is quite a nice place! =) I ordered this lamb steak meal, which was a complete mistake - It came out as two pieces of bone with just some miserable meat on it.. =.=".. 

On Christmas day however(today), there was morning service so we set off and later had our lunch at an Indian restaurant.. XP What a good ideal choice of meal for Christmas eh? lol! Later in the evening, which is just awhile ago, we had dinner at our grandparents.. But instead of Turkey we had Goose.. XP Boy what a Christmas! lol! [Sorry I couldn't get any pictures though.. XP]

But it is still such an awesome day nonetheless just being able to delight myself in God and celebrate the day when He stepped down and came for us! =)

So, how was your Christmas? =)

What a season! =D

Hey people! Don't you just love the decoration and the season's atmosphere?! Its truly awesome! Well, theres not much around in Laos (minus the tiny Christmas tree which is the ONLY Christmas miserable decoration in my house.. XP) but my trip to Thailand yesterday was truly satisfying! =)

Now on to a less merry subject, my hair.. LOL! Went for a haircut today after being suggested to go to and now it looks more miserable than ever.. XD I look like Barack Obama! T-T It is THAT short! XP

One thing I thank God for is that it didn't end up like last time with baldspots all over.. XP And I'm gonna continue to believe that He will heal me! =)

You guys back home in KL, I miss you people terribly! Take care and have a blast! Stay blessed! =)

Tis' the season to be jolly!

Ahh! I love this time of the year! haha! It carries so much significance, and at the sight of the decorations, songs and atmosphere that accompanies it, it is a season like no other! =) And the cool mornings and late evenings here makes it specially awesome! This is the day my God marks the beginning of our redemption! He saved the day! =D

Other than that, school's is out for two weeks in a week! Will be getting my report card this monday and I simply just can't wait to send it to Segi and get it done with.. XP Hope it goes well and that I get a confirmed entry to go back there next year! Really looking forward to it!

Don't really have a plan this Christmas, but man how I really much want to go back there and spend Christmas with you guys! 

Having to stay here for Chinese New Year is bad enough, if Christmas then how?! lol!

*Gasp*

You know something's wrong when the soap smells waaaay too fragrant than how it normally does....

Ben: *walks out of the toilet* Mum, can the soap on the sink be used? (the Shokubutsu 
           bottle was refilled and it looks perfectly normal to me, except for the smell)

Mum: Eh no... Thats the detergent used for washing clothes!

Dad: LOL!

Brother: LOL!

Dad: You used that ar? LOL!

Ben: Alamak.. =.="...

Hmm! So knew that there was something wrong with the smell.. lol! I used it, then last minute use another soap to wash in case.. LOL!

To know Your name! =D

Ahh! What a day! =D Fionna Tan and her family came to Laos today and we brought them around.. It is a blessing to have them here and they really leave a mark here and its only just one visit! haha! 

Pastor La was with us as well and welp, what else can I say? HSG Laos is gonna be up and running real soon! =)

The strange thing that happened today was that on our way back home from this shopping mall, we were walking towards the lift and waiting when we saw this crab walking right infront of us! LoL! a baby crab about the size of your fist and its like waiting and wanting to go into the elevator also! =P Talk about a shopping mall! How did that crab ever got there in the first place?! lol!

Tomorrow they're heading to Thailand! A sad thing lar I can't join them on their trip.. But it is so good to get to talk pure manglish with someone after SOOOO LONG! lol!

God is good, all the time! =)

Cookies anyone?

Talking about cookies a few days ago inspired me to try baking! lol! So with the help of two beautiful ladies, we made...

Ta-da! We tried putting in Cadbury bar as well, but didn't seem to work.. LOL! Instead of melting like we anticipated, it turned hard.. XP Ok la, so its not advertisement worthy, but it tastes awesome! Had so much of it till I'm bloated! XP

That's my sister and her friend who's mum makes awesome Korean Sushi! lol! And I need to get myself a more decent camera.. XP

With cookies and wookies(the two girls.. LOL!) aside, I was reading the message Stephen shared on saturday on the SE website and when he mentioned about this moment being the 11th hour, it struck me that this really is that coming moment!  

And I see how God gently and slowly reveals the plans that He has here in Laos and what He wants me to do here.. And day by day as I continue to walk with Him, I become more aware and this desire begins to activate more passionately for His cause! 

Yup, I'm expecting greater problems and obstacles along the way, but if thats what it takes, then thats what I'll go through! 

For your glory, God! =]

First drive on road!

Haha! Yup! Yesterday was my first ever drive on the road! And no, thats not my car, and no again, thats not where I drove.. XP It was this long stretch not far away from my house.. And it was a good start! I hope... lol! 

Before that I was learning on an open space area for a few times and then yesterday was the real deal! lol! My dad asked if I wanna hit the roads with it! I was really nervous! Takut later instead of ending up at home, end up at the hospital pulak.. On stretches.. Or even worse, Nirvana memorial center... =S Ok la ok la, maybe I'm not THAT important.. lol! Yes I'm perasan, I know.. XP

Anyway back to driving, it was an awesome feeling though first times are always scary.. XP Just can't wait to head back to KL.. Hope it'll be for Christmas! Happy Holidays people! Miss you all back home!

God is good!.... All the time! ;)
