The weekend went by very fast. We had an awesome but tiring weekend. Too bad it went by too quickly till I have no time to enjoy every moment of the weekend becuase we were too busy trying to focus on the dinner.The christmas dinner was wonderful we had 90 plus people for the VERY first time we had it.We had more food and less people so some families took back some food and they no need to cook the following day.My commitee and I had 8 weeks of planning and running around like mad trying very hard to get everything ready as well as praying that it wont rained or else it wil be a nightmare where the drivers trying to fetch the families and everything will be in a mess. On saturday I spend 3 hours plus in the church doing deco with the other commitee members.For the past 8 weeks I spend the entire week emailing uncle bh and the team on the different logistics on the event.If you look at my inbox i can say there will be countless emails on the event itself. We took almost 180 pictures on event itself haha and all are good ones. The most amazing thing is we will be having some kids coming to our church next year and all the guest that we invited are hindus and buddhist and most of them work hadcore jobs(eg: washing the plates at a coffeeshop) .I was glad that Rosalind , Kelly and I could attend the dinner eventhough we are sick.
In the end after the dinner I was too tired till i slept the entire day on monday coz i have been working all 8 weeks long.

christmas dinner is around the corner
wow! few more days is the christmas dinner to blessed the poor.
I am excited coz we are doing this for the first time in 14 years. we had a very good number of 110(confirm last week)and after that we draw the line and not inviting anymore.I still cannot believe that we have almost the whole church coming for the dinner and we have 11 families as guest. I think it will be a good one as we are praying that all goes well.
Things are going well for the dinner meaning that all the preparations are in order.it seems that it was yesterday we as a team sat down to talk about it but its here before you know it. Needless to say that there are things that didnt go well 2 of my team mates are sick and so do I and uncle boon hong. Hopefully we can get well by sat(yes we can if we keep praying for the next few days). I cant believe my dad and uncle Boon Hong are sharing for the first time in Malay I cant barely wait to hear them translate & Aunty lily translating in mandarin.
Not only they are sharing for the first time and i have spend weeks doing the slides about SACC and i will give SACC a shock that i did the slides all by myself hehehe .
Some think that its less work to be in the commitee but if you are in the commitee you will be worse becuase you have to run around and do all the stuff and somemore have to attend meetings and meet the caterer and the person handling the gifts.
This whole week i have been very busy till i have been too 'manjang'(cantonese translation for grumpy) doing all the other stuff like seating arrangements, table numbering and not forgetting the slides about our church.
Here comes the next few days doing all remainding of the work for the dinner which includes saturday doing the deco and the final touch up. break record i wil be in church for 3-8(depends on the no of people coming on sat) this sat.If its less people than we take longer time to do if more people come than we can get things done faster
Pictures will be out after the dinner is over lol.

Where has the time gone..seriously?
For those who dont know what i mean. Let me tell you. Its been 2 yrs (coming to may 2010)since i am out of ACU. And also less than 30 days we are into 2010. When i came back may last year it was in the midst of economy turndown.From than on I tried my hardest to find a job but in the end i work in church till not long ago i got a contract job which i had thank god for it.Now i am trying to find another job which i think it will take quite sometime to find becuase the economy just bouncing back. Hopefully I can get a job by march 2010(thats my main goal for 2010).
Recently I realized that time flies so fast that I didnt do that much.Well god has a purpose for different people.I am hoping that i can have a more permanent career than at least i can keep my money for something else.
Actually this question has been asked often which is do you have a BoyFriend? Always i will tell them later. Lately i saw my friends profile which is more and more are changing their relationship status either to In a relationship or engage or even married. Why? is it becuase time flies too fast and i dont realized it. Yup it can be a possiblity becuase some have dated for a year and i dont know about it.Some had already second kid and they are below 30.One of them is my former schoolmate.
