Mime talk....

My recent performance at Brunei

Take a shot before going on stage

Smile-lah

Looking tired after performing three mime in a row

My recent trip to Brunei was pretty tiring. My boss drove for 8 hours from Kota Kinabalu, bypass 8 different immigration, sarawak and brunei border, two ferries rides......! (Huh....) And we didn't make it on time for the Youth meeting, so we just did a short talk for 15 minute with a video being shown.
On Sunday, my boss was invited to speak in three different congregation within two place Seria and Bandar, two hours in distance. So in the morning english and chinese service I did two mimes, then we drove for two hours to catch the three o'clock service, arrive just right before the service start. (Goodness me!!) I quickly arrange the setup and went to the WC for make-up, it was really a record breaking.
By the time we finish, it was about 5pm, my face was feeling crack and looks really horrible. We drove back to my boss's friend house and I went straight to bed, can't take another mime anymore. (Huh......)

My Hong Kong Visitor - Michael Leung

His full name is Michael Leung Chin Ho

Having local dishes at a restaurant

Visiting Muzium Sabah

Taking a shot in front of a giant basket

On April 5th, I picked up my old friend from HK at the KKIA (Kota Kinabalu International Airport), I was a bit late due to a party at a friend's house, and I was the game master of the boys party. I arrive there catching up with my breaths, notice that there was a handicapped shorty sitting in the waiting chair wondering, then he turned and saw me, he immediately throw his arms around me and give me a hugs and crying. (OK! I haven't seen him for like 7 years ago!!)

He stay with me for about two weeks, wherever I'll go he would follow. So I arrange a few places to visit, we go up to Mount Kinabalu foot hill, soaking in Poring Hot Spring located near Ranau. We also visited Muzium Sabah for Borneo history and background of our rich inheritance. Then I took him for some local food tasting, shopping for souvenirs, KK city sight seeing, not much to do really with his handicapped, and I don't own a car. (Travel by bus or by foot!)

For the whole two weeks he always talking about the MV Doulos ship, about the people he met on board and their stories. To be honest I'm not really into talking about the ship, it's always the "good old time" speech that makes me feeling annoy. (Stop talking about the ship already!!) Those who in touch with the ship, they always talk about the crews and their latest update, and I don't really care about that. (Plus I have no idea who are they in his story!)

Anyway, the last few days I was getting a bit antsy and tired of having company all the time wherever I'll go. (It's like a shadow following you 24/7!!) I shouldn't have said this, but that really what I felt and it drives me crazy!! Well, he's gone now and I glad to have the space again for myself!! Oh wow!......

Design my own name card

My official name card

My mime ministry name card

My creative ministry name card

Now a day, everyone carried a few stack of name card for official business, social matter, personal statement, some even for picking up girls!! (Not me!!) Maybe you could show off your current name card on the net, for creative purposes. (Thought it would be fun to watch other people's name card.)

I wonder if the card really reflects his master personality and tastes? I think they do!!
Months ago, I receive a name card from someone, and his card contents all sort of craps and list of all the company and position he has work for, who cares about that!! How lame!! Which reminds me to keep my name card simple and humble.

Superheroes Party....

"Superheroes" Birthday Party Invitation Card (It's my design)

I love party! (Who wouldn't!?) I also love giving party and being the mastermind (some called it party planner). I got this invitation to plan a birthday party for my friend's boy, named Matthew Moy. So I thought of some boyish theme, such as Transformer (Robots), Spaceship, Seaworld, Superheroes, Animal Kingdom, Pirates of the carribeans...... the list could go on. The boy picked the Superheroes, and I asked him what was his superpowers? He told me his superpower was PIANO MAN!! (Ha ha ha...that's cute!)
So we got a theme, and I need activities, costume, games, decorations, blah blah blah...... food will be catered, so I can ignore that part.
Really looking forward for the party and we'll see how it goes!!
(I will be called "FELIX THE CAT"!! MEOW!! Watch out my "scratch"!)

New pair of spectacle

My new pair of spectacle

It's been a while...... Huh! Now I really need to catch some breath after long hours of works and visiting different church every Sunday. I miss the time off relaxing and just some quiet time reading my favorite books. But I guess life isn't always candy in the sky, but taste of bittersweet dark chocolate in my tongue. I take on a new habit of praying for people that I loved and care, sometime even a stranger that cross my path. Prayer is a wonderful connection we have as a living creature in this planet, it's free and always available 24/7, and direct line to our Heavenly Father. Thanks for the connection, my Daddy up there!!

Cheezy New Year......

Yeah...I don't quite like my Chinese New Year celebration. (Same every year!) I rushed back to my hometown an early morning at 9am (6th Feb 08), along with my elder brother in a coach, the ride should take about seven to eight hours. (Gosh....)
We were suppose to rush back for the re-union dinner in our grandma's house, but guess what!? We weren't invited at all this year!! (Funny huh....) So, instead we go shopping in the night, getting all sort of junk food for Chinese New Year sake.

My dad actually bought a new nikon digital camera, and he is quite a "show-off", snapping here and there. (I would do the same if I get one too!) Now he could get back on his old job again as free lance photographer for newspaper and stuff, he really miss that ever since his old camera wasn't up to date. (Now everywhere is "digital, digital, digital", what a load of craps! What happen to the good old photo quality, now is purely mass-produce stuff, nothing is authentic!!)

In this trip, I noticed my young brother was a bit out of ordinary, he was talking to himself, laughing to himself, giving me those funny eyes contact... (Oh no! Not again!) Of course as accurate as I guess, he finally cracked up on the third day of CNY. He gave me a few slap on my face and broke my bloody nose, what a great way to release his strength on me!! (He's gone mad!!) So I need to get some kleenex to sucked up the flowing blood from my bloody nose, what a crazy day. My gone mad brother didn't just take it on me, he use a chair to BANG on our computer, broke a mouse and almost crash the monitor, what a maniac!! Then I suggest we drive him down the hospital and receive some treatment, this cannot go on. My dad drove him to the hospital with me and my sister coming along to keep guard of him, he was admit to emergency ward. The male nurse asked to him lie down on a bed, he pull out an injection and insert it in my brother's hand. I saw my brother was shaking a little bit but slowly retreat to calmness. (Wow!!) After that, he was quite alright, as if nothing has happen before.

So there goes my CNY, not quite what I enjoy but really expected it to happen anyway!! And I call that LIFE!!

Peep through my "Porthole"

My Cabin 227's porthole

Wow... it was like seven years ago since I departed from MV Doulos. One of my favorite spot on the ship, it's peep through my porthole from my cabin. (The photo was taken while the ship in Philippines, Subic bay port. ) If I am so rich that I could build my own house, I would request to install porthole-like windows, have the sun shine through every morning. Ohhh la la......
