Easter 2007

Happy Easter Everyone....

It was one of my better Easters in recent years... had it pretty full on for the first 3 days of the long weekend and then pure vegetation on Easter Monday....

On Good Friday, we went for an early service (surprise surprise) at Riverview and then to breakfast. The service had a piece of jig saw puzzle on stage and then it was broken.... reminding us that Christ was broken for us... In the afternoon, my brother and I decided to visit the Avon Valley National Park - after getting lost for a bit, we eventually found our way there and I had an experience with a lizard... a BIG one... for those who know me, knows that I absolutely detests reptiles... in any shape or form... so a loud yell was heard throughout the National Park.... After the hard work at the National Park, we realised that we were pretty close to the Farm where the youth from church was having their youth camp so there we went for a feed... and a good feed it was :)

On Saturday, I decided to be ambitious and decided to cook popiah for my friends... I havent done it in a while (last time was probably in Edinburgh!) but I think it went ok... well everyone is still alive... :)

Easter Sunday was the highlight... TC flew in for a short visit from Melbourne and us girls decided to catch up... since I have always been taught that a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm attaching photos and well it can be seen we all had an extremely awesome night!!

Play Time & Pink

Hhhmm... it's always play time for me but this time round, I'm planning to head back home for a couple of weeks, hopefully my birthday weekend so that WY and I can celebrate our birthdays together for once. We're also thinking of heading on to BKK or Vietnam for a couple of days of R & R (more like eating and shopping).... can't wait...

On another note, I streaked my hair pink again :) Think I might try purple the next time round...

All Jazzed Up

A couple of weeks ago, CY, my bro and myself decided to check out the Perth Jazz Society gigs. So we found ourselves at the Hyde Park Hotel on a Monday night, listening to Elle Deslandes Sextet and totally enjoying ourselves. Last night, we headed there once again to listen to some really cool piano playing by Mat Jodrell & Konrad Paszkudzki presenting the songs of the Ray Brown Trio. I have to say the finale was really cool when the 2 pianists took turns to play on the piano for their encore.

Funnily enough, we've mentioned to some of our friends that we went to listen to the jazz and a couple of them have surprised us and 'admitted' that they are jazz enthusiasts... however.... we have yet to see...

Fiddler on the Roof

Headed to Burswood to watch this musical and it was absolutely excellent! On our way there, I did mention to my bro that I was absolutely excited to watch this musical - reason being was that my dad had gone to see the musical in London ages and ages ago, and told me all about it. Later on, dad got me to watch the movie... roll forward decades later and hey I'm gonna get to watch the musical production too and with Topol as the lead! Topol was fantastic as the father - I think the musical is way better than the movie and somehow, the jokes were easier to catch on stage... or maybe I was too young to understand the jokes when I last watched the movie :P

Woorooloo Retreat

So a group of approximately 27 of Twelve Stones boys and girls went to the Hill Top Farm in Woorooloo for the Labour Day weekend just past. I was put into a team with 3 other girls to prepare all the cooking - which I was looking forward to and had a great time working together with these 3 girls.

On the whole, the retreat was alright. We had some time of R & R time which we ventured to Lake Leschenaultia for a 3km hike. It actually felt longer than 3km, but the guys kept insisting it was 3km. The reward for the hike, we (about 8 of us) went to get a carton of booze to share amongst us!! The other bits were games, and workshops and night sessions with a focus on faith, evangelism and "Just Walk Across the Room".

The only negative impact I felt that was on this short break were a couple of girls from the other group. One of them just stood around with her husband, trying to look pretty. When people were carrying stuff out of my car on Friday night, she and her hubby just stood next to my car, as if they had some magical powers that the stuff in the boot would be carried into the chalets. Then she pulled a long face when she was giving cutting vegetables duty (good thing she wasnt part of the cooking team) and then when we were all cleaning up on the last day, she just stood in the kitchen with a cup in her hand pretending to drink and so she didnt help to clean up. Her husband the beaver is also just as hopeless... but we'll leave that one for now.

Another one made a remark to her boyfriend which was overheard by one of us.... that the retreat was filled with Asian food.... that was a very duh comment, as if she couldnt see that 99% of the people at the retreat were Asians - even though some were ABCs but hey all were from Asian descent!! Saturday and Sunday lunch was Asian but Saturday night was a BBQ and Sunday dinner was Italian!! It's not quite our fault that she went off with her boyfriend and some friends to KFC for dinner on Saturday night (I guess our BBQ wasnt good enough) or that she's suspectedly lactose intolerant and didnt tell us (the cooks) of her dietary needs!!! Oh and this same person when we were waiting to leave the farm for lunch on Monday after checking out, and the dogs were inside the chalet, she kept saying "Bad Dogs, Bad Dogs" to my 2 dogs, and for no apparent reason. The only reason I could think of was that she's OCD on cleanliness and totally childish. I mean she and another friend brought 13 soft toys to the retreat and they were there for only 2 nights!! Needless to say, the comments about my dogs pissed me off alot.

I think I better stop here, just in case these get read by people I don't like....

Photos

I've realised that I've been a little slack in posting photos on this blog.... I've just been lazy to take my camera out... Guess I have to be a little bit more proactive in taking photos :)
