Grace Ball 2007

Beauties And the Beasts?? (handsome guys i mean)

Hi Guys, last night was a wonderful night for everyone!! Firstly i would like to congraduate Zion on its 10th Aniversery (Yeah!!!) and next is to congraduate those who manage to fool me in thinking twice who u are (dun worry u look even more handsome or prettier that i can't reconize u lol).


The God Father and his Two Beautiful Daughters (haha joking just me(Jing Ee), Andrea and Calista)

Well me and those on Nigel's car came in around 6.40pm and was suprise that everyone was still outside... so yeah hand around each other to chat and stuffs. think around 7pm or so the event started. 2 performance was put up for the guest and everyone else. First up was the Dance, I like the dance as there was not only a mix of hip hop and some salsa (not sure wat was that) but also they added in the "Honey (Movie)" element where the guys versus the gals, that was just exciting. Sorry didn't take a movie clip or picture for that cause of the lighting.. maybe will ask Tim for a copy. Adeline was involve in this dance, and she Danced very good, i would say her dance looked hot!!


Lily And Sasa (don't they just look beautiful)

Next up was the Choir, this one is very exciting. I knew calista was somehow involve in the choir but she say she was playing instruments and i thought it was the Keys, But We didn't realise that it was the Violin!! She tack team with Sam (i think i got his name right) and it was wonderful, althought the volume of the mic was a bit soft. The song they chose was great, Can't remember the song title now... will have to check it out to update here. The perfomance by the Choir singing was great, But i think the lime like was on our Calista as the camera keeps zooming into her.
Good job to Both Adeline and Calista!!

Well next up is the Food, ok this is not really what i would had expected(in terms of quantity) for the money i am paying, but the quality of the food was good. We had the Entree, which is Scollops mixed with Slices of Chicken and some other stuffs which i can't remember. It was ok, a cold dish i presume. The scollops gave me a feeling it was marinated with curry powder (i might be wrong)


Entree

Next up is the main dish, this was quite a confusion which i found out that each table is only given 5 chicken dishes and 5 beef dishes. Sadly i got the chicken dish, but was lucky enough that Eugene was willing to split half with me while i did the same. The beef tasted well like steak, but it didn't have a strong beef taste, which is good, i like it. The chicken was a brest filet, tasted not bad, mixed well with the sauce.


Main Dish (with combination of Chicken Filet and Beef Steak)

Last was the desert, it tasted like some coconut and fruit filling with caremal sauce and a scoop of ice cream. Tasted interested compare to chinese still which we would end up drinking some honey dew sago or almond longan drink


The Beauties at the Table


Ade and Her Bodyguards

The ended at 11pm after some dancing which he had... it was so random and most of us do not know how to dance hahaha. But it was fun, everyone enjoyed themself. Great job for the Organizing team!! Well hope we will be around for the next Ball (most likely 10yrs from now lol)


Our Cell leader Ade and Garry enjoying themself!!

Well the photos are all on the photo album link that i have put up, pls if anyone has any photos can you kindly contact me or bring them on friday, so i can post it up to share with everyone else.

Gmail account

oh yeah 1 more time to remind myself here.... my account of gmail is chung.adeline@gmail.com...
i think this is the best way for me to remember my account... ermm password i can remember so no need to post it up here... ciao~~

Clinging to Apple...

I used to dislike Apple computers, Macintosh software, because they are so so not user-friendly.... but as I'm doing research on Apple for my assignment, I think i'm falling in love with Apple (subconciously)..... ermm not really the Macintosh software, but the design and the brand name of Apple.. and especially iPod nano... I just think they are quite cool... not that I will always listen to music, I have a mp4 player, but it's been abandoned there for quite some time.... but iPod nano is just so nice... wondering is there a toy version... ahhaha

Look at how nice and slim and cool and stylish they are... esp this green one!!!!! My fav!!!!! Love it!!!!

Ok ok it's 12am 20 May d.... i think better pack and go home d... tmr need to go educell~~~see ya.... miss you my iPod....

Blur to the max - part 2 ~~~~

SIEN!!!!! This is the second time i cracked my brain again... trying to remember my gmail account... dunno why i just cannot remember my account.. i think i have too many accounts and passwords.. dunno which one to remember heheheh...... i'm stuck in Uni now... trying to finish a group assignment due on Monday 1that weigths 35% ..... out of 5 members... only 2 members here... doing nothing... and both of us has only done 10% out of 100% work... Good job!!.... and we both has squeezed our brain juice dry to the MAX... trying to squeeze out an idea on how to develop Apple computers; making it more advance.... funny hu..... it's just ridiculous... Apple is so so so (x1000000) in advance already.... they even came out with things that is beyond MY imagination... what else can i think now..... it's just.... way out of my imagination...

Great!!! I had my first sharing in church today... sharing on tithes and offering.. never ever in my life I thought I will be sharing on the pulpit one day.. but it just happened today.... Wow... not too bad.. but I know I'm nervous, cos Garry said he saw me quite nervous... ya.. but everything went well, there's room for improvement still.

Semester 1 is coming to an end very soon... so fast. Life is like getting faster when you grow bigger, just a blink of eyes, time past without even say Bye to you. Not like younger days, when 45 minutes of piano class took forever...really forever man.. yeah and obviously i think when we grow older, we tend to waste more time by slacking and doing other unnecessary stuff like playing Yahoo! games...(i'm talking about myself hehe).

Honestly, my friend is like busy typing on her report while I'm relaxing typing this blog here.. super slack man... nah.. i'm just taking a break.. my brain really cannot function already.. too saturated with apple.... to be continued~~~~

at the wellsprings of prayer - ''TODAY''

We learn to pray at certain moments by hearing the Word of the Lord and sharing in His Paschal mystery, but His Spirit is offered to us at all times, in the events of each day, to make prayer spring up from us. Jesus's teaching about praying to our Father is in the same vein as His teaching about prvidence: time is in the Father's hands; it is in the present that we encouter Him, not yesterday nor tomorrow.

Prayer in the events of each day and each moment is one of the secrets of the kingdom revealed to ''little children '', to the servants of Christ, to the poor of the Beatitudes. It is right and good to pray so that the coming of the kingdom of justice and peace may influence the march of history, but it is just as important to bring the help of prayer into humble, everyday situations; all forms of prayer can be the leaven to which the Lord compares the kingdom.

some reflections

Prayer is an indispensable key to spiritual life. Prayer is a love relationship with God. It means communication with God who created us. To grow in union with Him, we need to come daily into the presence of God through prayer & reflection. For many of us, it is an easy and joyous time that we always look forward to. Yet many of us are struggling through much human effort and energy.

Genesis 18:22-23
Get Closer to God
Our prayers reveal what we believe about God and what we value. Abraham's bargaining for the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah shows his faith, his care for others, and his closeness with God. Although he is humble, he deals with God as a friend whom he is not afraid to be honest with.
We too must be honest with God in our prayer. Too many Christians simply do not trust God enough to be completely themselves with God. They are afraid to share their doubts, anger, grief, and frustrations. But God is big enough to handle it all. Find a way in your prayer to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with God. Remember that God's healing touch cannot enter our life until we are willing to share our deepest feelings.

Things about Video Streaming

There are things that I think I need to say about online video streaming.

Common misconception: "Online video is not considered as download. So I can stream and watch a movie without download it in order to save bandwidth."

But the fact: streaming video uses up bandwidth just like download, which use up bandwidth as well. The used bandwidth exactly same as the bandwidth it takes to download the same video. If you watch video online like on youtube or google video or any other website with computer in uni might get you into problem.
So, it's recomended to watch online video using your home internet.

The second thing is that, you might want to consider downloading the video if you will load the streaming video up more than few times. So that you wont waste too much bandwidth on loading the same video up everytime you revisit the video.

By the way all the video I've uploaded so far is cut down on quality to reduce the file size, so that you guys can load it faster, save up some bandwidth and ppl with slower internet connection can actually watch the videos. I might redo the uploaded video into better quality in the same file size and upload it in the future but not so soon. Still have a lot of videos to go because these video might be linked to the upcoming new church website too. But if you want the high quality version video you can get from me directly.

Ta!

BGR Talk Video

Hihi everyone!! How is everyone going on this week? Hope you all still can manage your studies well and your life still in control. For me this week had been hard on me to cope with an 'ever complex' assignment that I feel quite miracle for me to done and fulfill its requirement. When I submitted the assignment just on time, I feel like shouting wohoooo!!! man. Well if you guys also facing problems, I also pray for you guys to be able to stand well in enduring them and strengthen even more after hard challenges in your studies, works, relationship, faith, life, or whatever. And Lord, even if we had fallen, please help us to stand up and learn the lesson, Lord. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

This is the video of BGR-talk. It is only first half of the session where boys and girls are together. Second half session boys and girls are splitted to different place. Video for the boys part is captured but unfortunately, for the girls part is not. (no female projection member present in the camp.....sad) But even if projection got it, most likely it will be classified secret for guys. hehe...

About the boys part I have the footage copy.... but before publish it online, I might need to discuss with the upper authority first.

Poem

I thought I would just share this poem I came across. It's quite powerful and I still have no idea what it means. It caught my attention when it was quoted in a movie.

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloth
Enwrought with golden and silver light
The blue and the dim and the dark cloth
Of night and light and the half light
I would spread that cloth under your feet
But I being poor have only my dreams
I've spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly for you tread on my dreams

-William Butler Yeats

Health of the day (part 2)

Hello people,

it's me again...hohoho..before i start my topic, want to make some changes to the roster thingy. Firstly, christina swaps with Bernice whenever their names are on d roster..secondly, today's food is good...keep going...let's cook more nice food...was impressed with nigel's chicken dishes..(kept stealing d food before the cell starts,blek)hohoho...last but not least, next week is easter weekend, so decided to put two more people on d roster, these 2 'lucky people' are Shin Yin (carbo food) and Tash(dessert)..

Okie dokie, today's topic is drinking water...everyone needs to drink water so that they wont get dehydrated, but we need to know when to drink it to get the maximum benefit. A normal person needs at least 8 cups of water a day (approximately 2000ml).

1st cup - should be within one hour after you wake up from sleep (this should be a cup of warm water to start off your day)
2nd cup- drink it while u having breakfast (Note: could be milo, milk n etc)
3rd cup- 10.30am, time for you to hydrate your body a bit
4th cup- drink it just before you have ur lunch (Note: this helps you to eat less during lunch time)
5th cup- 2pm, to replace the water you have lost through activities.
6th cup-4pm(afternoon tea time)
7th cup-drink it at ur dinner time, same concept with lunch's one
8th cup-drink it at about 8 or 9pm..(this should be your last cup of water, however it varies from person to person, hmm, but don't consume anymore water half an hour before you sleep,;) )

p/S:hope you guys enjoy it...:), happy easter break...

See you all this friday..

Health of the day

Hello everyone,

it's me again...currently supposing to study in library, but then got distracted...hohohoho
Straight to the topic,

health of the day is NOT to skip Ur Breakfast...
Let me convince why u must eat your breakfast everyday...;)
1) u wont easily get gastric pain
2) gals, watch out this--> by eating breakfast, u actually increase ur body metabolism, so your body will burn more calories. Thus, you wont easily gain weight..it's the best if you could have your breakfast within one hour after you wake up from sleep

Choices of breakfast: a cup of milo for people who are rushing off to school (it warms up your stomach)
a cup of milk is a good idea for people who are not suffering from gastric problem (or else it works the other way round)
if u have more time, eat cereal or oat with milk...oatmeal is highly fibre and helps you to go toilet everyday...hohohoho

But it's the best to start your day with a cup of water or water mixed with honey or salt water, :-) before you have ur breakfast.

p/S: hope u all have fun with my topic today...kekekeke

FeeL FrEe TO coMe

Hello everyone..
