What a weekend!

My apologies if you've been checking out the blog and there had been no update. ops....

Let me start with this... A WEDDING!
Well, not mine... yet... but if you know him, Victor Voon, he got married last Friday with Sophia. They met in UK even though one's from KL and the other is from Sarawak. They got to know at the Malaysian Students Gathering in UK and now they are getting married. And the exciting news was that I was honored to be their wedding coordinator. Honestly, it was really stressful with the Tribute to Parents Day service plus lunch, but I was glad I didn't let them down and pulled through the wedding ceremony and dinner and all the in-betweens.

It was truly a beautiful wedding. When they exchange vows, I was teary eyes myself... the decoration was beautiful and the whole day was just one beautiful chapter of two lives committing to each other from this day forward. I was very happy for them.

The wedding was held at One World Hotel, Bandar Utama. Speaking from the coordinator's perspective of working with them, I've got to say that the banquet staffs were excellent with top-notch professionalism. They had drilling session before the banquet and you could have ask any of the waiters what's on the menu and they would be able to tell you what is the next dish and what is the ingredient as well. I was very impressed! They are definitely event people. I've worked with several hotels but this hotel really did impressed me with their working attitude. Excellent! =)

Instead of the typical backdrop, they actually printed this huge poster-backdrop! Another excellent point to the hotel!

Enough about the wedding even though I can go on and on about it....

On Sunday, Eaglepoint held our very own Tribute to Parents Day at the Ballroom at Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Resort. Although I was a little disappointed to see the hall NOT packed full of parents and families, I was still glad for those who made it. It was such an excellent opportunity for each of us to learn to honour our parents for what they did for us.

We even set up various booths for the early comers to have blood and sugar level test, caricature drawing, balloon sculpture for the children and there was even a golden age corner for the older parents to enjoy a cup of tea while waiting for service to begin. (the tea was really good! =) )

The dancers kickstart with the opening dance - "I wanna be with you" and after praise and worship, the youth band honoured their parents with two songs. The day was not over yet. The leaders then presented a gift to all the parents in the hall. It's just a day for parents to feel blessed! =)

(Sorry about the picture. Still looking for a camera.)

After the service, there was a lunch together. We prepared some games and some activities to help families build their family. The lunch ended with a time where parents and child pledge to build each other in this family. I'm sure everyone was ministered.

After the lunch, I can see smiles and happy faces leaving the hall to go home. But for me, the day was really still not over. There was a planned pastoral dinner. Victor & Sophia had generously given to church the six over-run tables from their wedding day and pastor had invited some of the people that had served in the church faithfully.

It was a night of fun and just plain fellowship. No planned activities, no program flow, just dinner, chatting and enjoy the friendship we've built over the years. It so happen that it was Kel's birthday and I asked Neil to cook up something to celebrate his birthday. They came up with this hilarious act and you will laugh out loud if you see it. Check out the video at Eaglepoint's facebook. I've posted it earlier. It was hilarious. They should be called "1a.m. Comedy & Kareem"... ahhahahaa...

We also prayed for Lady as she's leaving us to go back to Philippines for good. We also prayed for Jill's upcoming delivery and also her mom is waiting for the report regarding a growth. Do keep them in prayer.

The kids were all crazy over the balloons in the room but they couldn't reach it at all. In the end, Vincent Puah came out with this excellent idea and got all the balloons down for the kids. Too bad, he came back to the table with no more food as he went around getting all the balloons. The cake was just too good that nobody saved him a piece. ops again...

I don't know about them, but I was knocked out the moment I touch the bed. Yet it did not deter me from taking a road trip with Nai Lin to visit Trish at Kuantan the next morning. We drove there to meet her - complete with the excited jumping at the hotel door when she arrived. I was soooooo happy to see her and we went to the beach for a while and later hunted for all the local food. Had a quick catch up and chat time with her and the next day, we went to check out her dispensary at the hospital before heading home. And again I was knocked out the moment i touch my bed. ahahahah....

Trisha was a student at IMU when she came to Eaglepoint and later went on to UK to complete her studies and now working at the Kuantan hospital. From being a church member, she was one of the dancer in the team and now she's a friend. that's church for you!

everything started with the wedding on Friday and ended with arriving home from Kuantan on Tuesday!

What's next happening in my schedule? The Point, EN2010, APEC and THG with a wedding in between!

btw, PC is not feeling well today and is resting at home. Show your pastor some tlc lah... =)
