Josephine Michelle Fung and Ooi Seng Choong's wedding dinner

Mum.......so indecisive, one minute wanted to attend Choong Yoong's daughter wedding, next she decided otherwise. One minute wanted to go to the hair salon then decided not too. It was like that from morning till evening. Just half an hour before we were to leave for the dinner at Sun Lee How Fook she decided to go.

She enjoyed the food but kept asking me several times, "Why are we here for ?"

Next to our table, sat Uncle John and his wife and relatives......and one of them was Puan Chong (yes, Suzanne your Form 5 class teacher). I asked sister how Puan Chong is related to Uncle John..........she asked Uncle John's wife and was told she's his cousin.......their mum are sisters.

Then Uncle John was wondering howcome we were invited and vice versa...........ah!!!!! Choong Yoong's mother n Uncle John n Puan Chong's mum are sisters. Uncle John's mum is my yee poh and Choong Yoong's father is my father's cousin..........if u r confused never mind ........the world can be that small .......Ha! Ha! Ha!

When dinner was over, mum got me worried for a while.......she sat for so long when she got up she barely could stand. But slowly and carefully she was able to walk to the entrance and into the car. The dinner was a bit too long for her but at least she enjoyed the food........it has been quite sometime since she last attended a wedding.

Trip to Cameron cancelled

Today changed of plans, cancelled trip due to my ear problem. Dr. Ravi advised me not to go as the air pressure might be a problem. He advised me to consult an ENT but only can do so on Tuesday because Monday is a public holiday.

Morning Ben wanted to sleep longer so decided to attend evening mass ( I am on duty too,
initially swopped duty with Doreen but since trip cancelled I read)

Today I was the 1st reader and Cecilia 2nd reader. I read and wasn't sure how I sounded. Is weird......my ear problem makes hearing so difficult ......I can understand why ah yee always hear the wrong things.

Today is Father Michael's 19th anniversary ordained as a priest. So the commentator on behalf of the parishioners wish him happy anniversary and thank him for all he had done.

Bishop will be sending an assistant priest- Fr. Anthony Chong to help Fr. Michael from next week onwards -finally.

The Negara ku was sang at the end of Mass just before the final hymn. Father and the alter servers were coming down from the altar and Rachel started playing the 'Negaraku' too soon ......

Then I made a big mistake........so embarassing.......normally alter servers walked out first followed by the readers but me blurrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!walked out before them .......Ruben the cross barrier quickly walked ahead of me then poor Cecilia followed behind me then the rest of the alter servers..........luckily Father Michael didn't say anything.........gosh! How could I be so blurrrrr........Ian was wondering what happened to me .......he was one of the alter servers.
