Short Trip to OA village

Worship was exuberant.




The boy of the left was teased by his friend whom commented "Dia tak perlu belon" and then pointed to his stomach when we're distributing balloons.

Played a few games with the kids - some were pre-prepare and some post-prepare. The best one was when Oliver gave instructions to pick up residues from the games played - "adik-adik yang kutip sampah akan dapat hadiah". They're eager & fast to pick everything up from the ground =)

The other side of Jon which we seldom see =)




Nasi lemak for lunch . . . yum-yum. Some kids had 2 helpings!




FM first visit to OA village. There were bitter and sweet memories but at the end we're vessels for Him.

Bali trip

Sunset at Kuta beach. It is no surprise why people flock there to enjoy the sunset. The beach is nothing fantastic but the big waves won me over. Another drawback is that it is filled with vendors who will not hesitate to approach visitors regularly. I thought lighter was a popular item as I kept hearing vendors mentioning it. Then I discovered they meant "later" and not "lighter".

Leong & Kukuh.


We celebrated Leong's birthday one day earlier at Hard Rock Cafe. Food was disappointing and too much . . . we ordered 5 meals including 1 entree for 4 persons!

Rice terrace. We went sight-seeing on the 3rd day & hired a van to take us around. We initially had problem communicating with the van driver but got it sorted after Kukuh joined us. He was our communicator cum negotiator but he didnt always get the best deal =)


Close-up of padi sawah.


Next stop was Monkey Sanctuary. Leong was a favourite among his buddies =)

The famous babi guling stall in Ubud. There was a long queue for take-away but dining-in was a breeze.


Babi guling.


Final stop was Tanah Lot temple. Love the big waves!








Kadir, Ching, Leong, me and Kukuh - had lunch at one of the famous warung in Kuta.


Bali nasi campur - nice!


Took this picture from a resort where we had our coffees.


Sanur resort. We stayed here on the last night, courtesy of Leong's friend who is very generous and hospitable. He fed, fetched & sheltered us!

The front view of my suite at Sanur resort. Didnt manage to take picture of Dewi Sri Cottage where we stayed for 3 nights. The latter was a decent place, value for money and provided good service. It allowed me to inspect the new room before we changed (we requested for a new room as the first room was unpleasant).

Overall I enjoyed myself very much in Bali. It is one of the most relaxing & laid back holiday that I've done. The Balinese is friendly & accomodating and the scenary is breathtaking. Having my siblings around made this holiday sweeter and fun. Those two are jokers, they made everyone (I meant everyone they met) laughed!

My favourite drink!

Mango Frappucino - my favourite drink from Starbucks! I got a treat from a colleague for my birthday. Sometimes I will treat myself one when I'm feeling blues... a sip will certainly chase them away. How I wish I can have it regularly but the price does not permit!

My new hair cut in 2007! Decided to have it coloured & cut in bob, the result was quite drastic from my long hair. I think I miss my long hair liow (yes, I admit I'm fickle minded), guess I will be washing my hair diligently from now so that it will grow long quickly.

The cut was also a treat to myself on birthday - decided to pamper myself with hair cut, pedicure (only my 2nd time) and watching movie with sis & bro-in-law. And the best part was everything was paid for...kekeke. Oh yeah, I took leave too on my birthday (just like previous years). This year I had to silent my mobile phone because it was flooded with sms wishes. And that didnt stop my colleagues who called & sang "Happy Birthday" over the phone - so thoughtful of them. My birthday celebration started a week earlier when cg threw me a surprise but was "bocor" because I caught them busy scribbling one after another. I asked them "Are you writing my birthday card?". Later they sabo me back . . . kekeke

beh tahan

The many faces of Ophelia.




She looks so different now.








With the face like hers, you can't help but to adore her.

"When is my turn to play?" Ben in thoughts.


"Why so noisy? I cannot sleep. What are the adults doing?" Ophelia in thoughts.
