Ballet Trial Exam

On the 17Th of march, I had to attend a ballet trial exam. The purpose of it was partially for our parents and also so that we get the feel of how it is going to be like in the real exam. Even thought we all have already experienced what it would be like it was compulsory for everyone to do it if she wanted to take part in the ballet examinations. So, we went for it. At first my mum did not know that parents could go inside to look at their kids dance, and they could take pictures and videos too. Then, my sister, Nat, told my mum. When we went in she was the parents inside. My other sister, Chrisa, and my brother, Ashton, went inside too. Ashton loved to watch us dance our steps out, and Chrisa loved ( I think) loved to be our camera person. She walked around close to where my mum was sitting and began to take videos and pictures of us dancing. After everything was over my teacher told my mum and us all the points that we needed to work on. We really had fun.

So sorry

An aunt of mine's wedding

On the 7Th of march, I went to one of my aunt's wedding eve dinner. They were going to have a Chinese wedding the next day, so my mum asked me and my sisters to attend the wedding so that we could have the Chinese wedding experience. I agreed and my grandfather came to fetch us the next day. We went to the bride's house and waited for the groom. While we waited we had breakfast. The breakfast was rice, vege , fried chicken, and kiam chai (salted vege ) soup. I was not really used to rice for breakfast so I had less than usual. After we waited for the bridegroom to come they had to do all they needed to do, we were all very tired. We were all sleepy and had nothing to do around there so we waited until it was time for their elders to drink tea as their Chinese culture. After that we went home. At night we went to their wedding dinner at Jade Palace seafood restaurant. We enjoyed that quite a lot. The bride we a blue evening gown. But we sat near the air-con and it was really cold. We were near the speaker too so it was loud. After that we went into the car and slept.

Chinese New Year

As for us having a hot time during Chinese new year China is quite on the opposite.
Here are some examples:

Penang:
1. Hot hot hot season
2. We wear as cooling clothes as possible




China:

1. Cool spring time

2. They wear thick, warm clothes



Though it can be hot, and very tiring during Chinese New Year, I really want to thank God for all the things that he has blessed us with each and every year. As my mum has said in her blog (gemsfortheheart.blogspot.com) that who is our God of prosperity? I am really grateful for all he things that God has given me throughout the past years. Not only on Chinese New Year, but all year round.

Another One Of Those Greatest Things That Happened Last Year.

What:Ashton Lim Wei Sheng, My Brother.
Why: He is another great thing that happened last year because he really is so great and wonderful.

I really have to admit that I was kinda " disappointed " when mum announced that " Sayang " was going to be a boy. But, No! I really figured that no matter girl or boy, your sibling is one of he most precious people you could have ever known.

I really am having a great experience seeing how a baby boy grows and how exciting it can be to witness Ashton changing throughout in the past eight months of his life. Truly, ever since he was born I have learned a lot.

Ashton, I LOVE YOU!

One of the Greatest Things That Happened Last Year.

What: Gateway City Church.

Why: I think that the birthing of Gateway City Church is one of the most exciting, important and, greatest things that happened last year is because before we left our previous church,
Dad told us that he was going to stop working there, and we were to plant a new church.

When I heard those news, I knew that this was going to be an exciting journey, but at the same time I was a little sad to leave my old friends. But I got over that after a while. My sister, Nat, was also a little sad, but we knew that God wanted us to do this, and so together we prayed as a family and visited several other churches.

Now that Gateway City Church is my church, I am really, really happy that we have done what God wants us to do and I have met more new friends.
