Reminiscing Moments / Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Ooo, i can't believed Princess Day is coming up!!It's crazy how fast time passes.
Quent and I were just reminiscing old times, first birthdays, first talks, first phone calls...and we were so blown away at how quick time passes, and now we are about to walk down the aisle!! We've come so far since...
We have just confirmed our photographer, and we've decided to go with Xsite photography. They did Wudok and Em's wedding, and has won couple of awards in the pass couple of years, with franchises around the world too. We were quite blown away with the first impression they gave us. Theatre seating as we watch a dvd of photographs and wedding videos, and we were also served drinks. The experience was fantastic, so were their work of course. Well, we decided to go with them, as their work seems to be really good, and the package they are offering us are pretty stunning. Although, Quent was just sold with their mini album. Nick will be our photographer for the day, and unlike our other grooms man Nick Teh, this Nick, is very laid back, and seemed really cool and easy. =p
Anyway, princess day is coming up. It's a day dedicated only for the girls in Sunday Sch, where we super pamper them with hairdo, makeup, nails, crafts, and a message that speaks of their royal position. It's to come across to the girls as they are valued and special. Last year, they all received a tiara ring each, and this year, they are receiving this cool bracelet with gem stones, that Darling Grace and Jen put together =)They are such a champ. Seriously, thank God for the Ling sisters and Corrine, they took so much workload off me, as I'm in the midst of planning Kids camp, which is just a week away!!!
Well, today, i just finished my 14 day liquid fast, and I'm feeling really good. It was a fast for Kids Camp and Princess Day, as I'm believing for more souls added into the Kingdom. I've to say, the last 3 days were the hardest part of my fast =)
Anyway, how's everyone doing?

Bridesmaid's measurement / Tuesday, March 20, 2007
To All my beautiful and gorgeous Bridesmaids,
I need you guys to download this form
www.blackrose.com.au/measurement_form.pdf
and fill in the details on it. Basically, just the measurements will do. It will not be necessary to fill in the measurement of the dress, as i have already lias that with the designer. If you can get that to me by email, or sms me, in the next week or so, that will be great, and i can write that down, and bring to the tailor. =)
The dress making for the Bridesmaids will start July, and it will be done by September, but you all that are far far away, we will get you to the shop when you arrived to pick up the dresses:)
Sounds so exciting!!! I'm getting so much more excited now!!
Oh Jan!!! Teke and Mei just got engaged too!! Teke proposed at Sofitel! Hehehhe...
Love you all...

I seriously have no idea what type of highheels everyone should wear, but i thought designs like these are simple...and not too elaborate, that may contrast from each other. I thought i'll keep it open choice, but almost the same design?
What you reckon?

Tuesday Fruit / Wednesday, March 14, 2007
I can’t believe my Sayang Blogged!!! I’m so proud of him!!! I second Steph, and thinks Qynn should blog more!
Let me give you a brief overview of certain things here that happens on Tuesdays.
Senior Student Lounge (SSL) is a lunchtime program that we run for VCE students whom are having their 2 crucial exam year in high school. It’s under the Youth Dimension (YD) banner and our Church FGAM banner. On Tuesday, each week, we provide kids with coffee/ Ice coffee. This gives them an opportunity to use the classroom to study, to chill, and people to talk to. Then, a couple of us from our church and other partnering churches, will provide volunteers whom will help to make coffees, and talk to these kids and play card games with them. The most frequently asked question is “Why do you come every week to give us coffee, and hang with us?” Isn’t that amazing?
Anyway, myself and Quent have done this for last whole year, and we developed a great relationships with a group of non-church kids there. It’s so cool. Couple of them heard that we were getting married, and they quickly came and congratulate us on the 1st day we were back to school. They were much more excited than the bride herself! Bringing me Wedding Magazines etc; and we chatted also about their life, boyfriends, family etc…it’s so cool to know that the kids remember you after the whole long summer holidays. Quent and myself have excuse ourselves from SSL, as we’ve now got more volunteers from our church to help out, which is so cool. They even beat GODZIMMER on his first game of Bluff!
Student Focus (SF) is also a lunchtime program, which runs at the same time as SSL, and it’s also a program of YD. SF focuses on lots of games tailored for hyperactive kids in the first two years of high school, Year 7 & 8. Unlike SSL, we are allowed to share the word of God with the kids after a good 20 – 25 mins of games. The kids goes crazy, and then they hang back to listen to the Word of God, probably the only venue for most of them. Quent and myself are now focussing on this program, as it’s new to us, and for me, I know lots of the kids that are in Year 7, as I taught them Christian Religious Education (CRE) in their primary school, during Grade 6. When I first got there 3 weeks ago, one of my previous student came up to me and said, she misses CRE, and Chris and myself; while some other kids just recognize me as I’m in the school teaching, and attending their events, and it’s always good to spot a familiar face; and I think that’s what makes Tuesday a great and fruitful day for Quent and myself!!
Although, I missed SSL, but I think I’m also enjoying SF, especially when we pray and believe for God to bring more kids to the program. Besides, I can always use SF games for CRE classes and Sunday School!
How have your week been?

I just thought i'd crash Sonja's blog and write an entry because i can see that Sonja hasn't been very regular with her posts :) The countdown has begun to our big day, and i have to admit i'm pretty excited about the whole day. Things are falling into place. We have set our date for the 15th December, got our chapel, our reception place, photographer, Sonja's dress and dresses for her bridemaids. Wow, it's all starting to come together! It's been amazing the number of people that have offered to help in some way. We are truly blessed with such a great bunch of friends and family.
For Sonja and I, once again life seems to be getting busier and busier. Sonja is actually resting at home now trying to recover from a flu which she probably picked up from me. Poor girl! It's been a really interesting and fun time over the last year for us. I been so blessed to have someone who is so passionate about the same things i am. It's been a long and challenging road to get where we are today, but i wouldn't have had it any other way. Sorry, but i'm just rambling on and on. I really don't know how people blog so regularly. So i'm going to finish it here. Am going to try and put some random pics up. May make this post a little more interesting.

Wedding Dress Formula / Monday, March 05, 2007
I'm not a good blogger, i'm already like 2 weeks late =D Forgive me
Yvette, i reckon, is the best bargain hunter ever!!! She got me connected with designer and dress maker, 2nd Generation Designer, and a faithful citizen of Crezch Republic, Judith from Black Rose. Judith, is going to use me and my 8 Bridesmaids, and also my special flower girl, Rach, as her walking advertisment, therefore, she have given me a good deal, yet giving me the flexibility to work and design the dresses with her.
Okay, bridesmaids, we've got our dresses in tact and organized!! Praise God for good deal, and reasonably good price =) By the way, me and Quent is leaning towards lavender/ Lilac colour with cream as our theme. So beautifuls, you're probably going to walk down the ailse in lilac, purple, unless you have strong objection to it;)
Hehehehe... Deciding photography in the coming week. Everything is going pretty well, praise be our Lord, for His faithfulness and goodness.
On the work side, we're probably moving to our new office in Box Hill in the coming two weeks. Having a office to myself...hmmm...dunno how that would feel, good, but boring. But, i definitely look forward to decorating it, put some pics up, toys etc...i haven't had a room to myself for a while, and renting homes etc...haven't had time to be in touch with my decorating side....really missed doing them.
Well, thats all from me now. Missing my Daddy lots and lots and lots!!!
Love xoxoxoxo
