陈威全。。赞！

今天陈威全来到了BP参加一个 FGB 的布道会。知道了很兴奋，但却没得去，因为得带学生们去教会的团契和教补习。所以就拜托了Juliana 帮我索取他的签名。

七点时，接到了 Juliana 的电话说，陈威全已经到了，叫我在去补习之前，可以带着CD 过去见见他，向他索取签名。所以我就跟伟盛 （我的学生）说：：“你每次在我车上听的那首歌 - ‘再见单身’ 的歌手来到 BP 了。你想去团契之前见见他吗？”

伟盛双眼发亮，不敢相信的看着我，马上点头说要！所以我立刻回家拿 CD。但不知怎么的，就是找不到 CD 的盒子。找了十五分钟，决定放弃了，所以就告诉伟盛说：“算了，我们还是不去了，现在时间已经不够了。你还是直接去团契吧。我也得去教补习了。”

到了 T 路口的时候，左边是往 Lian Hoe Plaza， 右边是往教会去。看了看他失望的脸，最后还是心软的开口说：“好吧。我现在只剩有十分钟。到了那边，我们用冲的吧。应该赶得及和陈威全拍照。”

那双眼睛立刻发亮了，甚至还比之前更亮。一到了那边，我们俩还真的是用冲和奔的。到了四楼，才发现陈威全已经在台上练习着。Juliana 说：“怎么不早一点到？”

没办法了，总不能叫陈威全特地下来和伟盛拍照。所以就把相机交给伟盛，叫他去台前拍拍几张他偶像的照片。突然间，陈威全下台了，应该是为了在表演之前把音响调好。那一刻，我可顾不了面子了，就很厚脸皮的推伟盛向前，问了陈威全：“请问你可以和我的学生排张照吗？”

陈威全好像有一点被吓到，我也觉得自己这样做有一点冒昧。但他很快的就答应了。我们的陈伟盛终于和陈威全一起拍到照了！我也近距离的看到陈威全了！

你们看，伟盛是多么的开心！

也许对很多人来说，这一张照片是一张很普通的照片。但伟盛并不是一般的少年。他是一名发展迟缓的少年。从没有自信，不敢开口说话和低着头走路的他，到终于肯抬起头走路和开口的他，这个过程并不简单。这一次可是他第一次和一位他喜爱的歌手合照，所以出到停车场时，他很开心的和我 ‘high five ’了，而且还面带着愉快的笑容和步伐走进了教会。

团契过后，伟盛看到我来时，还很急着的要我把照片拿出来给他的朋友看。而且还很骄傲的指着照片里的陈威全。我们还在那里唱了一小段的 ‘再见单身’。真的看得出他非常非常的开心。

陈威全，谢谢你，不介意我们打扰你，也非常愿意和伟盛拍照。你的一个简单的举动可是感动了我们。。。。也让他乐翻了。。。。。。愿上帝祝福你。。。。

Fun! Food! Fun! Food! in SP & PJ.....

Before going up to Kedah, San Yi & Ah Tio brought us to have dinner at Room Eighteen in Tropicana City Mall. I have seen this restaurant many times, but never have the interest to step in as I'm really not interested in Chinese food.

But, I guess I have to change my preference a bit coz some of the dishes there were mouth watering!!!

Never have I tasted such crispy and fragrant fried lotus root. Yummy!

The 'sio bak' is the nicest I've ever tasted. Crispy at the top, tender and chewy at the bottom.....

Thank you San Yi & Ah Tio!


Then, thx to our dear Si Yi, we got to eat ROYCE chocolate for dessert...... Wow! The choco just practically melts in our mouths!! And it's RM45 per box of 20 little pieces..... But, it's worth every cent of it........

The next morning with my eyes half-open (I slept for only 15 minutes that night), we went straight to LCCT to catch our plane to Alor Setar for dear Lyn's wedding......



Both Joyce & me ready to set off.......

The wedding photos are still with Alvin, so I can only blog about them later on when I get my hands on those photos.

And the resort we stayed in..........CINTA SAYANG RESORT....... I will be blogging about it later on too..... 1 full page dedicated to them for their TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE & INCORRIGIBLE service which makes them look like a VEGETABLE!

After the wedding, Lyn and Heng brought us to this stall near the Sungai Petani bus station where I managed to taste the best peanut drink ever...... Til now, I can still imagine the smell, taste and feeling of this drink lingering in my mouth......


The stall doesn't look appealing, right? But the drink.........


is like HEAVEN! If not for dinner later on, I would have gulped down 3 cups of this........


I also took a bowl of assam laksa as my uni friends from Kedah were always boasting about how good their assam laksa is, compared to those out of Kedah. And i have to say they are right, because the soup is a bit different and tastes nicer than those that I've tasted before in KL. But....... the noodles seem to lack something....... The noodles are more like the Laksa Johor noodles, while I prefer the springy type which tastes more like udon.......


At night, Heng's family brought us to this place which was like paradise hidden in the middle of nowhere ~ Mae Salong.


I'm not able to blog about the food there, coz once again the photos are still with Alvin..... When I get the photos, I will blog about the food, which I can tell you now: They are 5 star food, except for the fried chicken, which is a bit too tough for me to devour........ And yeah, I was also busy helping to babysit Hao Xuan ~ Heng's nephew...... He's extremely adorable!!!

He was a bit apprehensive at first.......


Then....... he goes like that!!!! Smiling & laughing all the time!! Oh.... I miss him so much!!

Back to PJ, it's all about eating again.....& family bonding time...... With my Ah Tio, it's definitely Chinese food again.... (both my Ah Tios seem to just like Chinese food only)......



They are all Chinese food fans........


Well, I'm liking Chinese food more and more with this dish....... Cheese Prawn.......... at Long Feng Chinese Restaurant in Sea Park...

And I had a wonderful time with my 'bao bei's whom I've not seen for a long time..........


Rui Chen is so tall now!! I spent the most time with him when I stayed in PJ for 3 years and he's like me...... we are fans of horror stories!!! So, for his Christmas present, I got him 2 horror story books........ And I'm so proud that he is also the school's representative in Olympiad Maths! 加油Chen!!


Next is Rui Syuen....... the princess of the family.............. My mum loves her so much that whenever I turned my head, I kept seeing her placing food into her plate....... (I'm jealous...) She's so much more obedient now compared to the last time I saw her...... And I'm really impressed that she was gracious enough to let her younger brother have her Christmas present & in the end I ended up giving her 2 presents instead of 1..... 加油 Syuen!

And now is my latest 'bao bei' ~ Chua Rui Siang!!!!



OMG..... he really looks like LEE HOM!! & I really love him so much!!!!! He's so obedient and adorable!! And his favourite phrase is "很贵耶!"

My Mum: 让我看一下这漫画的价钱...... RM11.90 啊"
(Let me see the price of this comic.... It's RM11.90. )

Rui Siang: 很贵耶！
(It's so expensive!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: 这些兔子好可爱喔！
(These rabbits are so cute!)

Rui Siang: 表姨，为什么你不要买兔子呢？
（Biao Yi, how come you don't want to buy that rabbit?)

Me: ...........................

Rui Siang: 很贵耶！
(It's so expensive!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He even came out with a very tickling question?

(Pointing to the sewing machine, he asked my mum: "为什么这个针车没有轮的？"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The youngest is Rui Feng....... 1st time seeing him.... next to his dad.......... Not much time to bond with him..... coz he did not want to hirau me...... :( He was so busy with his own activities........










Next day, er jie brought us to Subway and I had a BMT........ Oh... why can't someone open a Subway in Batu Pahat? I can eat those sandwiches for lunch every day........!

Then we went 'jalan jalan' with those little ones.............

This one little smart girl, Sher Lyn is my er jie's daughter..........
She was so interested in our family tree that she wanted me to explain the whole tree to her, and surprisingly, she managed to get all the facts in her head after I explained to her for half an hour............. She's definitely a future A student in History.......


These little ones were real real happy on that day!!


And of course I won't miss the chance of going into Borders to get my books during its year end sale......... Again, how come there's no Borders in Batu Pahat? Ai.... frankly speaking, if not for the traffic jams, I would have chosen to stay on in PJ/KL......

Then, we went to the place that the little ones had been looking forward to..... I SCREAM!!!
Yes, it's....... ICE CREAM! Gosh! I was excited too!!



This Black Sesame Ice Cream is a must try!

Then, we also got ermm.... i forgot the name..... it's something like 'Ice Scream on the Rock?? or on the wall??'... Forget it....... the most important thing is that it's YUMMY!!!!







VOILA!!! It's ready for consumption!!



The little ones got theirs too!! See their faces of satisfaction?



Conclusion: FUN!!!

Hi Melaka........ I'm Back After So Long.........

It has been a long time since I stepped into Melaka. If not for the Robert Deller training, I guess I won't even step there even though it's less than 2 hours drive away from Batu Pahat.

Finding my way through Melaka, I seemed more like a novice, navigating my way using the GPS. It's hard to believe that a few years ago, I was an expert of the roads in Melaka. Yet now, with the help of GPS, I still had to struggle to remember all those supposed to be familiar roads.

Well, in the end, with the help of the GPS, I still managed to check in into Avillion Legacy Hotel....... nice hotel......

Here, I'm not going to talk about my 3-day training because it's going to be tiring enough to have to do a report for the management and I'm really kind of pissed off !!! because the photos I took with Mr. Robert Deller during the course are missing from my camera!!! Uhuhuhuhu......

Never mind, so lets go straight to what happened after the course.........

Iris and I went simply driving around and we happened to see a big JUSCO building waving to us...... So, we stopped and went inside. To our amazement, we saw the beautiful Christmas decorations and we were like WOW~! Many people were taking photos there and of course we definitely would not have just gone off without taking any photos........

Biggest Snowman from Recyclable Bottles - Malaysia Book of Records

After that, we went to Portuguese Settlement as I wanted to go and try the famous mango juice there and also the delicious seafood...... The last time I went there was with Bernard and his friend......... If my memory is still intact, I remember the mango juice stall was not open and all the food stalls were like packed to the brim....... and so in the end, we had to give up and go somewhere else....... This time however, by hook or by crook I swore to myself that I MUST drink the mango juice and eat the crabs there..........

TENG TENG TENG TENG!!!


It was OPEN!!! & 3 more cups were left!!!! LAST 3!!!!! Without hesitation, we 'sapu' everything and was like Phew~ if we were later by another one minute, everything would be gone!





After tasting it, Iris was hooked to it and kept saying how nice it was! By the look of our faces, you should know how nice and refreshing it was!!! SATISFIED!

Then, we were wondering which stall should we try out? We couldn't make up our mind as I remembered someone telling me that it's stall No. 1, or maybe it's 7 or maybe it's 10?? Okay, I gave up and I asked the mango juice seller. She told us that every stall was nice and there was no clear cut answer from her......... ?? In the end, after some persuasion, she told us to try Stall No. 10.





Well, it was not a hoax, the black pepper crab which was DRY was absolutely MARVELLICIOUS!!!!



So was the butter garlic scallop!!



Just one look at our table and you should know how nice they were..........



The next day, together with Yu Wei and Huey Pin, we went to Aunty Lee (recommended by dear Mr. Ang - my former lecturer + good friend) to taste the nyonya food there......



Again, we were really damn lucky..... Another 10 minutes, the restaurant would have been full!! But, we were made to wait for an agonizing 1 hour before we could really taste the food! Business was so good that we had to wait for 1/2 hour before our drinks arrived.........

When the food came to our table, we were all like hungry wolves, gulping down our food like there was no tomorrow.............

Cencalok Omelette



Fried Tauge



Fried Squid



Sambal Terung



Ayam Pongteh



After lunch, Iris and I went jalan-jalan around Jonker Street and the other streets around it.

Although I have been to Melaka so many times, this was the first time I went into Cheng Hoon Teng temple to have a real look. Didn't really take many photos as there was quite a number of people worshiping there and it seemed a bit rude for me to keep snapping away........

While I was walking, this tiger statue gave me a shock and I really jumped one step back upon seeing it. Phew~~~

Seemed like a 'museum' house to me and I thought it was an exhibit...... Til I peeped through the window and realized that there were people watching TV and chit-chatting in it........ It's a real house after all...... Hahaha!

Another one that made it into the Malaysia Book of Records besides the Snowman in Jusco......... Was tempted to take a small bit and try it........ when I realized......... the numbers 2004!!! Now, I'm a bit confused..... How come there's the date there 2010, yet awarded in 2004?? Better don't try it...... I really don't want to get diarrhea.



These 'bread' and 'cakes' in Jonker Street never fail to amaze me every time i see them. Especially the bread, you just feel like sinking your mouth into them!!







Was tricked into taking this photo by Iris Koh. Well, it turned out to be quite nice........ Tempted to buy the hat, but rationale rules over heart! After taking this photo, Iris in a 'rogue' way refused to pose and let me take a photo of her...... By the way, someone was jealous of my 'lovely pose'..........

After finishing walking around Jonker Street, we were picked up by Mr. Ang, who brought us to try out this coconut milk shake!! Frankly speaking, I really hate coconut, but this coconut milk shake somewhere in Klebang just made my taste buds say YES! to it! Too bad, my camera went gaga at this time and I was not able to snap a picture of it. Therefore, I googled around and I managed to 'borrow' this picture from www.thekenchia.com. The ice cream on top made it even more perfect!

Following that, Mr. Ang brought us makan-makan at a food court where we got to eat for FREE, (thx to you Mr Ang) and chat at the same time. After saying goodbye to him, we went shopping some more at Pahlawan, bought the marvellicious mango juice (2 cups each) at Portuguese Settlement AGAIN!, all because Iris was begging me like mad......... and set off home back to Batu Pahat.

Overall, it was fun because I had Iris (who is as sampat as me), accommodation was free, got to taste nice nice food and the weather was damn good! Besides, I got to meet Mr. Ang again!! and also Clarissa & Pauline! Oh yeah, not forgetting, I did not get lost, thanks to my GPS that spoke Afrikana on that day.........
