Holidays, Birthdays...and Happy Days!

“Are you getting married?” My colleague asked me as she eyed the book on Decorating for newly weds curiously on my table. I just laughed and shook my head. Apparently I had the itch to redecorate my bedroom so I had been borrowing all the books on interior decorating from the library. I actually didn’t notice the title of the book until I was taken aback by her question. Well since the unfulfilled desire to own my own place is still not within my reach, the best alternative goal within my reach was to redo my bedroom…hence the book on my table. And probably also the creative bug in me is starting to itch having been neglected for too long…doing other boring stuff! So my plan was to get all the inspiration and ideas as much as I could before the DeepaRaya holidays looms near. It’s seldom that we have two major national holiday celebration back to back so when it happens, it’s usually a long break. It also happened that Deepavali was right smack before my birthday too. So with th

Hyppo Barney Rocks!!

The ActsGames results were finally out after the long awaited two weeks. And the winner goes to....Hyppo Barney!! It was quite unexpected since the team didn't win alot of games, but did they score big time on the merit points! I was just chatting with one of the committee members and she said that most of us were so focused on the games and superpower that they forgot that what happens behind the scenes are just as important. I guess we learnt a lesson from the Hyppo Barneys...Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hippo Barney! As for the winner of the cheerleading, the Red Hulks walked away as the champion while Pink Panthers came in second with very close marks. Pink Panthers were the Iron Team for being the team who was the strongest...surprise! surprise! I thought we did were around second or third. The best Sportswoman went to Aunty Molly from Mata Kerbau and best Sportsman went to Alex Au Yong from Red Hulks. Way to go! Finally, well done to all the teams out there, and thanks for that gr

Pink Panthers Dynamite!!

After a month of sweat and glory, ActsGames finally came to the finale last Sunday with the highlight of the event...the cheerleading event. If you're wondering what's ActsGames is, this is just a sports event held yearly by Acts Church to create "Unity through Diversity". With the the different coloured power groups combined, we had 4 teams namely, Hyppo Barney(blue & purple)...not Hyppo Bunny as some mistakenly called it...but it sounds kinda cute. Then we have Mata Kerbau (white & yellow) as in the "Bull's Eye fried egg". If you don't understand...ask someone else!! And also our adorable Red Hulks (red & green)which at first glance reminds you of Christmas. Last but not least, Pink Panthers(black & pink) which is also my team....is the winning team for cheerleading last year. Go Panthers! I heard they did some cheerleading stunts that bowled the judges over last year. I wasn't around then...so no comments on that :)
