oh my goodness,just got back from Madam Lim's 3rd and last anniversary service at the Lim family's residence. i've been there since the passing of Madam Lim, played for the funeral service, the 1st anniversary service, 2nd and the 3rd. Each year there'll always be tons of great food overflowing, and each year i get home stuffed and happy. haha.. :P Each time the musicians would also get an appreciation gift from the Lim family for the service provided voluntarily, usually it'll be famous amos cookies and a Christian CD. :) it's a real blessing being able to be apart of this family gatherings for these 3 years cause being able to see the family coping with the passing of Madam Lim and seeing how the family is so united and cousins knowing each other so well and cousins spending time with each other is really something thats rare nowadays. :) well,my family too is pretty close among my mom's siblings and my cousins..which is a good thing. :) monthly food fests are some of the events i look forward to..and also during the festive holiday outings are really fun. :) anyway,back to the anniversary service thing...i think it's a privilege to have been able to see this family grow since the passing of their mom,grandma,great-grandma, etc.etc. Also, the food has been getting better each year..hahaha. :P this time round we had like bak kut teh, noodles, rice, curry chicken, curry mutton, vegetarian, yong tau foo, assam laksa, fish, desserts like jellies & fruits..oh my goodness,talking about it now is making me want to have another go at the food..hahaha.. :P i myself did like 3 rounds at the food fest and honestly it's really not doing any good to my diet!! hahaha. :P i've noticed that since i went to pulau lang tengah and back and been missing from my kickboxing classes for like 2 weeks has been making me gain back all the fats & weight i've lost for the past 7 months. NOT GOOD!!! oh yes,today during youth fellowship we had our much-awaited Talent Factor event. i had to play the guitar and sing which was something new that i've never tried of doing in front of a crowd..but all in all, the whole thing went pretty well except for the part where i was suppose to play and when i started i realise that my guitar was out-of-tune and so i stopped and tried to tune it but i couldn't cause i was so nerveous about the whole thing..so it was pretty embarrassing for me and Evelyn had to step in to try to tune it for me but she couldn't do tune it also..so thankfully Eng Kok (YF Chairman) came with another guitar..hahaha.. :P during the whole ordeal i was trying to talk to the crowd so that the whole situation wouldn't feel so weird..which was good cause that kinda helped to calm me down..hahaha.. :P i think i'm really glad that we've had such a short time to practice coz then we really understand and realise that it's because of God that we can perform so well and not fumble the whole performance.. :) anyway, i guess everybody had a good time so it was good. :) actually, i wanted to share more during my out-of-tune fumble but i couldnt arrange my thoughts so i just wasted a perfectly good opportunity to share...oh well,maybe there'll be a next time..hahaha.. :P
