Water Works VBSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VBS started today!!!!!!!!!!! :) Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! The theme this year is water works, but unfortunately, we can't have like really water water games and water stuff...because it's at church and it's mainly carpeted.... :((((

So, I actually volunteered to be a team leader as in, leading the kids to the different stations, taking care of them....etc....and I specially requested for the YOUNGEST ones....you may find that really silly and odd of me, but eventhough they could be the hardest to manage, I still prefer to handle them... :) Easier to interact with them... ;) And they are cuteeeeee!!!!!!!!!! :)

But I was put in the 9-10 year olds group....but manged to swap with Sarah, thank God!!!! :)

And in the end, I was in charge of the 5-6 year olds, and they are divided into 2 groups, I'm incharge of group 1 and it's like, I'm like the "boss???" *so perasan* :D But group 1 usually leads the group...so anyway, at least I have some helpers to help me..... LILY AND MICHI are helping me toooo!!!!!!! :)

Anyway, it was really unusual for the youngest group to be so well behaved....they were only for the morning session, after lunch, they were getting tired too, so it was a little more challenging... :) But I must say they are a pretty not-so-bad a group of kiddos... :)

They had the highest points at first, and they were leading, (their group name is yellow octopus). Unfortunately, the oldest group, caught up with them.... but it isn't really fair, the oldest group know that they will get more points for behaving themselves and keeping quiet... infact, the yellow octopus, I don't think they even knew that they get points for their behavior... :) Until we told them later... :) hahahahaha ah well, there's still tomorrow, and I hope they win because they never did every year and that's sad... :)

A funny thing happened.... Caleb wasn't feeling too well so he was sleeping on a row of chairs...and Sam asked Leanne to take some pictures at the same time he pushing the chairs forward to pitch Caleb to the floor...all of us didn't expect him to do that...we thought he was just joking but he did it, and I think he didn't know Caleb was sick and not just sleeping because he was tired... :) hahahahahahahahaha ..... but that was pretty bad, to wake him up suddenly... :D

So, first day of VBS over, tomorrow is another day!!!!!!!!!!! :) Eventhough it's tiring, I still enjoy it... hahaha... also seeing my old friends and playing with LITTLE KIDDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

We had fun after VBS.... we started playing around with 4 spray bottles, and started spraying each other... ANDY LIM was so bad....simply splash people....I never spray him also his spray me...hahahahaha but he was also trying to aim at leanne and missed... :)

It was funny and damn fun...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we had a "jumping" photoshoot after the spraying excitement died down... michi literally got so wet.....

Adieu, I need to sleep soon after I print out another of my list of kiddos because my current one is too worn out...and its destiny is in the dustbin... :)

Zombie,

Farewell!!!!!!!!!!!! :'((((( And Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

The Vickerys will be flying off to U.S. in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( It's so sad, they won't be coming back...not until Uncle Micah finishes his studies...then maybe they will come back, but they hope to visit once in awhile... as Annie said, THEY HAD BETTER visit... :)

The church is really going to be quite different without them....and I'm going to miss Lydia and Elli too... :( I would have loved to watch Elli grow up... :((((((

Another family came from America to Malaysia today....they will be here for awhile and their doctors, Sandy and Mandy, and they have 3 adorable kids, Zeke(short for Ezekiel), Pete, and Susanna???? Or Suzanna??? Not sure how they spell her name but she's soooooooooooo adorable cuteeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! She'll take the place of Elli then, since she's not here... :)

Anyway, will be nice getting to know this new family more... :)

Hope the Vickerys have a safe trip!!!!!!!!!!

Long Sleeved Draped Cardi!!!!! :)

Few days ago, I made this long sleeved draped cardi.. :) Been wanting to own one, it was like everywhere last year... then this year I can't really find it everywhere anymore...although I located some shops that still sell this type of cardi, it's more fun making your own... :) So I've been searching the Net for patterns, no luck finding any, until last week, I found this pregnant lady who made one for herself, and there's like no pattern involved...it's really simple pieces, and fun to make!!! :) It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to be, and I shouldn't have made the armholes too far apart, but despite that, it's still wearable, and I'm proud of myself!!!!! :)

I went to Kamdar to find Jersey cloth, and they only had this type of jersey, and the other type which is something like swimsuits...this one is more appropriate, but it's still not the right type of jersey....sigh...cloth shops over here are PATHETIC!!!!!!!! :(((( I wish we had cloth shops like in Aussie...and even like America... :)

Anyway, I had to make do with this greyish-blue jersey... :) Here are some pics of the cardi...

That's all!!!!!!!! Hope you enjoyed them!!! :)

Food Poisioning.....................

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My whole family is striken with FOOD POISIONING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :((((

My mum has it the worse, followed by my dad...and my sis and I are average.... :(((((

Aparently a lot of other people also got it.... I'd better not mention names her if not it may embarass someone... :S

Anyway, my tummy is still not back to normal yet, but I still can function at least...thank God!!!! :)

Lord Jesus, I pray for my family that you'll heal us, and also for the others who also got the poisioning... :) In Jesus Name I Pray, AMEN!!!!!!

CONCERTTT!!!!!!!!!!! :) Goodbye SALUT d' AMOUR!!!!!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Concert's overrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooooo happyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Phew...at last...it's really over... :)

I met some new friends...teacher's sister's students... :) Allyssa was one of them (plays the violin)...she's a 12-year-old girl and she's really really nice...and super friendly too...we were just talking away before our turns to "perform..." *yap yap yap yap yap* :D For that matter, we were trying to distract ourselves from nervousness by talking too... :) One way to calm nerves... is to START TALKING... :)

We were both in the 2nd half of the program so we had even more time to freak out... :)

Finally it was my turn to go up on the "stage..." My palms were sweating the whole time, and I was all pale, and guess what happened????? I forgot to bow at the beginning, but remembered at the end, and I even missed some part in the piece. I was really nervous, I mistook a certain part in the piece for a later part... :) Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, but, but, but, luckily, for me, I managed to go on despite the hiccup! :) Phewww...

I guess I didn't really play that badly, but I know I went out of tune quite a bit I think... :) Nervousness... :)

I was really glad when it was over... :) And guess what, GOODYBE AND FAREWELL SALUT d' AMOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) That's the piece I played, a too-super-common-piece... :) And I've been playing that for the past 5-6 months???? Just so that I can play that piece for the concert...I'm so fed-up of that piece and so is the rest of my family too... :D And finally, I can say BYE-BYE to it!!!!!!!! :)

Overjoyed,
Charissa
