Last weekend was a blast!!!
Well.. at least for Saturday it was... Coz of the Monash Carnival... And the movie...
Sunday it was juz waking up, getting dressed, going down to kl, coming back, n going back to my hostel...
Saturday started off by me waking up around 12.. as usual.. weekends, harap maklum ler..
went down, fetched mom to taipan to get lunch, came back, ate, and had to get ready to go...

Thank God my dad allowed me to take the car.. the plan was for me to drive to Monash have fun, come back n pick them up to pyramid.. Boy, everything totally changed.. haha..

My first stop was the car wash.. The day before we went to AC with my uncle's family, my dad pandai pandai went n park under a tree.. He was like sooooo happy when he found the parking spot.. Came back after dinner, we had new vynils on the car.. FOC... Darn birds!!! If onli their poop were black in colour, people wud think my dad actually changed to a carbon fibre hood..
Yea, Gaby, maybe we shud try our way to handling the situation.. :P

So went to the car wash, got it washed n vacuumed... Drove off to usj18... Had trouble at first trying to find kaysim's place.. totally lost direction when im driving.. Worse still, all the way from shell to usj 18, i was stuck behind this Camry driving at 40km/h.. i knw la its a housing area, but still??? ur driving a 2.4l engine!!!
So anyways, got there, picked him up, and we went off to look for keith's place..

So the 3 of us drove straight to Monash..
went there, parked the car, picked up the phone n called karmern..
She arrived a bit later, before that, the 3 of us went to take a walk to check out the place...
The carnival at 3pm tat time was kinda dissapointing actually.. Booths not fully set up yet, stage still empty..
So when karmern came, we decided to go catch a movie at pyramid...
So i drove us to pyramid, us and a fren of karmern's..
Found the most peculiar parking spot ever.. took me so long to get the car straight.. thx to those guys who double park.. ish ish...

So in the end we watched The Forbidden Kingdom... Honestly speaking, if u guys watch chinese shows, the story line is totally screwed up!!! They took the journey to the west story n changed it like completely.. suddenly the jade emperor got himself a jade general.. who turns out to be evil... haha..
But the action was great.. expected ler.. 2 Js of the kung fu world in a movie..

So after the movie, karmern followed her fren to the carnival, while the 3 of us went for dinner coz we were starving...
Oh yah, by then i edi got my dad to lend me the car for the whole nite.. how lucky i was.. :P
So we had dinner at old town and head straight for the carnival...

Reached the carnival around 8 something.. Onli then i reli called it a carnival.. haha..
It was way bettter, although still a bit dissapointing..
We were 'amazed' with the battle of the bands..
1st band came out n did their rendition of a kylie minogue song!!! KYLIE MINOUGE!!! haha..
and for some reason, i can say almost 2/3 of the bands tat nite did an umbrella cover.. y???
honestly, none of them reli pulled it off though.. :P

the best band came out when we were in the line waiting for the haunted house.. Yea.. "haunted house"...
we kinda gave up on the bands... so we went looking for things to do...
they did an almost perfect cover of fall out boy's sugar we'r going down..
N i tell u, it was simply amazing!!! the band was flawless!!! it sounded exactly like the original...

So, the haunted house.. "haunted house"...
more like a haunted tent actually.. haha..
so we went in pairs.. keith went in with kay sim.. i went in with karmern...
it was so funny wei... funniest haunted house ever in my life!!! hahahaha..
the guy at the door said their 'ghosts' were inspired by movie characters, so we might see some familiar faces in there..
The 1st 'ghost' was a guy pulling our leg behind some curtain..
Which movie is tat from??? hahaha..
Honestly i didnt recognize any1 there.. onli thing i recognized was the buzzing tv playing nth at the end of a walkway.. tat oso it wasnt a movie character.. haha..
best part was this guy, he was supposed to scare us from behind..
he was dresses up in this long black cloak, with a scary looking mask...
he was like approaching us from behind... n at the perfect time, i turned back coz i felt something at my back..
and he just stood there... looking at me.. in the end he walked away... coz i spotted him edi..
hahahhaha.. it was soooooooooo funny wei...

moving on, there's this point where they put chairs n we had to crawl under them..
there was a guy who was supposed to scare us on top of those chairs..
so he jumped out... went "ahhhhh!!!" and all...
we were like.. "yea yea.,.." n we were like wondering which way to go..
so in the end, after 'scaring' us, that guy actually pointed us the way.. ahahhahhaha...
it was like... "ahhhh!!! no no no, this way.. "

at the start karmern was like freaking out.. hahaha.. ur not so tough after all..
but halfway thru the thing we were edi laughing out asses off!!! it was juz so funny..
1 by 1 the 'ghosts' act all tak jadi.. ahhahaha..

after the haunted house, we hanged out for a bit then we all head home..
had to fetch them all home.. good thing kaysim n karmern stayed in usj18... save 1 trip...
Too bad we couldnt stay late enough to catch dragon red.. it wud've been awesome..

Good thing i kept pushing to go for the event.. it was great..

What a small world it is...
Wish i wouldnt feel this way..
Its not supposed to end up like this..

Ok... Planetshakers 2008 at City Church, KL..
Place was at Sunway Uni Multi Purpose Hall...
Doors opened at around 4 something...

Started off the day waking up to an empty house.. Parents went out to get some stuff.. Duno wat, dunno where.. About an hour after i woke up, i received a call from Wilson, telling me tat he decided to go for it too... Unbelievable.. haha...

So i went to take my bath n he came to pick me up (in his uncle's kelisa) n we headed off to taipan to grab lunch..
Believe me people!!! U dun wanna sit in Wilson's car with the way he's driving...
Juz tat 1 hour of going around, he mati enjin once, almost scratch a car twice n scrapped his rear wheel against a wall.. Imagine..

The best part was, he drove to Petronas to pump petrol, worried tat it wouldnt last us since the E light edi blinking..
He stepped out of the car, starred into blankness for a while, then he pop the question..
"How do u open the tempat masuk minyak eh?" -.-''
So there we were, 2 dungu's crouching by the drivers seat, trying to find the stupid lever...
He even called his dad to ask, n in the end i found it...

So we went for lunch, then drove to kevin's hse n thank God we decided earlier to in kevin's car...
So we hanged out a bit at kev's place, made our hair, wilson n I.. haha.. then we were off at around 330...
Decided to go to SS15 for some cendol 1st before heading to Sunway, but when we arrived, the q was ever soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long...
So we went to a 7-E in front of Taylors instead... Grab a drink n we were juz chilling..
Juz when we were abt to leave, Audrey sms-ed me asking if kevin cud give her a lift, so we headed to SS17 to pick her up...

So we went straight to Sunway Uni then... Took a while coz of the tricky route from SS17 to Sunway.. but we got there...
Parked the car, and we were walking in.. And for some reason, all the ushers tat day juz seem to ignore us.. I wonder why.. Haha..
So anyways, we followed this big group up the lift, and we were upstairs at the entrance of the Hall..
Hanged out a bit outside before the doors open, and we walked in... And the 1st familiar face i saw was Gaby!!! She was ushering.. haha..
Grabbed the City Church welcome pack and headed straight in to find a seat.. We were trying to get as close to the stage as possible, but in the end, we got like 5 rows from the front..
Audrey met Hin Loong n a few other of her friends.. While they were chatting, Kev, Wil n me were talking about music..

So now Kev is included in the plan of going for drum lessons... Before this, it was juz unofficial plans between me n Willy, but now it seems tat he found a place somewhere in PJ...
So hopefully things will work out well.. The onli prob we'r having is the difference in free time we have.. Its not gonna be easy.. But i bet its worth it...

Moments later, I met Tze Lin as well..
After so long over the net, we finally met up..
Like u said, at least now we know we both actually exist.. not some evil guy or gal trying to con someone.. Haha..
It was good to see her.. Finally..
And, yea i look different in real life.. Dissapointing aint it..

The environment before everything started...

Things started off with Ps. Chris Long coming out with an opening welcome speech, welcoming all newcomers.. Then we had to chill a little while more before the band actually came out...

The band kicking things off...

Oh, btw, these aint my photos, grabbed them from here and there.. hehe.. Credits to those who took the effort...

The moment the keyboardist came on stage which happen to be the 1st of the band members, me, Audrey, Wilson n Kev went up front towards the stage.. And we were abt 3 rows from the front.. Not tat many ppl, so it was easier to get through...

Started off with the 2 lines "O Praise Him, Jesus, Jesus".. The line i picked up from Saviour of The World.. hehe..
I cud onli recognize Henry on lead (as usual) and Mark on the bass.. The rest r new faces to me, even Mike Webber didnt come this year...
But it didnt matter though, they were still awesome..

For praise, they did a couple of their new songs from "Free", too bad they didnt play "Saved The Day" though.. haha.. But in the end, the ended praise with "Majesty", tat juz made everyone responded...
Praise was good.. Reli good.. But nth compared to worship...

Started off worship with "Beautiful Saviour", followed by "I Need You" from "Free" and last was "Rain Down"...
Hands down, tat day's worship was the best in my life... Never experienced God like tat ever...
He was reli moving among us that nite... No doubt.. He was there with us...
"Rain Down" got pulled way longer than expected... God's presence was so intense, tat even Henry and the rest juz put down their instruments and juz enjoy His presence n worship..
We were juz worshiping with the keyboards.. For quite some time... It was juz amazing.. His presence in tat place..
It was so different...
But it was exactly wat i needed, something refreshing for my soul.. And for me to come back or shud i say come even closer...

The atmosphere with His presence tat nite was so intense, and yet peaceful within..
Its juz undescribeable.. Something tat onli everyone shud experience...

After praise and worship, the church settled down, n we prayed for offering..
Before praying, Ps Chris actually told us abt him emptying his wallet into the offering bag 3 years back at the PS conference.. It was quite a story because he actually withdraw from the ATM before walking into the service...
And he did it with faith, put everything he had into the offering bag, believing tat there r others who need it more than he does..
And minutes after the service, he met up with a fren who passed him a red packet offering...
And in it was even more money compared to the amount tat he put in for offering earlier!!!

The reason im telling u the story is because, believe it or not, the EXACT same thing happened to me tat very nite!!!
After the story n all, something juz told me to give generously tat nite..
And so, i put in more than normally wat i wud..
Honestly, after tat, i was thinking how to allocate the rest of my money for the week..
And yet, after the whole thing, when i reached home, the 1st thing tat my mom did, she hand me a red packet.. Saying it was a belated 1 from my grandpa for my birthday..
And in it was way more than wat i put into the offering bag earlier..
God is simply amazing... Instead of being low on cash, trying to get through the week, i actually have extra cash now.. Lots of extra.. XD

Wow.. This may be the longest post to date... :P

The day before Planetshakers, i went to Pyramid with Wilson to get some stuff, and guess wat i bought?

Jeng Jeng Jeng!!! Haha..
I know its from a very old line.. But i like the smell of it..
Hmmm.. If im not mistaken its abt 5 years old edi..
But still, doesnt matter.. I still love it.. haha..

The lady gave me a free CK bag as well.. How good can it get huh? haha..
And the price was very very cheap.. RM242 for 200ml.. Came with a free bag some more..
And of coz some free samples.. Gave it all to my dad...
Oh, she threw in a small bottle of Euphoria body wash as well...

After so long, i finally got my very own fragrance...
Ahhhhhhhh.. Satisfaction!!! Haha... XD

Got a new haircut too on Saturday.. Dad wanted to go cut, i was thinking of juz trimming so tat it wouldnt be so messy.. But in the end, it took a major turn..
Told the lady, i want it towards the center, sides and sideburn shorter, she interpret it as mohawk.. -.-''

But the end result wasnt tat bad.. For a change at least..

Cant reli see it here, but trust me, the sides r reli reli short.. It looks kinda normal here coz i pushed those in the center towards the sides.. to even things out.. XD
And yea, my pimple outbreak havent gone down yet.. Its still pretty bad..

Its been a long weekend, and its gonna be a long week ahead with my management presentation coming up..
Loads of work.. ish..
