I won an Ipod Shuffle!!

I still can't believe that I won an Ipod Shuffle!! This is the first time I actually won anything in a lucky draw. This lucky draw was conducted during my company annual dinner recently at Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel. The theme for the dinner was "International Gala Spectacular" so we were supposed to dress up in any costume that represents a country...like Statue of Liberty, Geisha, etc... There was even a RM500 prize for the best dressed male and female staff.

Hmm...I actually contemplated dressing up but then again, no lah, too much work, not enough time. The winner for the female category was a staff dressed up as Princess Pei Pei from China, while the male category is ....actually i felt it was abit out of topic but the guy actually dressed as a lady while his wife dressed as a man. Creative idea but abit out of topic. Oh well, he won anyway. Both of them were supposed to dress up like that when they come to work on Monday or they'll forfeit the title...do you think they did?? Actually I didn't think it was serious, so they didnt...haha!

We also had a very impressive Capoiera Dance performance. It is the latest thing to hit the fitness circle. Looks abit like break dancing and combat. Then we grooved to the beat from the Aseana Percussion Band. It was world class standard. And finally we laughed till our tummy ached with stand up singer/comedian Buddy Loren. He was really multi-talented, singing from Hokkien to Arabic songs, doing impersonations from Shah Rukh Khan to Michael Jackson....wow!

Finally we had the grand lucky draw where the grand prize was a 3day 2night ticket for two to Perth, Australia. I only managed to win the Ipod Shuffle....someone else got the Ipod Nano. But I'm happy enough...I was hoping to get a digital camera or an Ipod, and I got at least what I hoped for :) Other prizes given away were like Motorola Razor handphone, aircons, microwaves, pdas, etc. What an exciting time and we finally ended about 1am.

Looking forward to what's in store for next year...

Take the Lead...never follow

Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

RM 1 Million Dollar Wedding (Part II)...Go ahead, throw the first stone!

Just saw another article on the 'infamous couple' this morning and was feeling a little outraged. Transsexual drama queen?? Sinful couple?? Who gave these people the right to condemn them? Who do they think they are? God? My anger is not because he is my friend, but the at the judgemental attitude of society. Too often we are ready to accuse others unjustly of wrongdoing. We fail to see that we, ourselves, are guilty of sins. Judging is necessary in life, but it must be done fairly. Even as we judge, so we shall be judged (Matthew 7: 2). Sometimes, our motives for judging are for improper purposes. Putting someone down makes us feel superior but it is actually a manifestation of pride. When we enjoy besmirching another, we become "stone throwers" and we lose grace. If you look in the Bible at passage (John 8:1-11) , Jesus didn't condemn sinners but extended outrageous grace. The scene is the temple courts where Jesus was teaching. The Pharisees, unable to g...

RM 1 Million Wedding (Part I)

A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate! For the full article, just click here Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings. He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 F...
