Waynetopia - Start of a new world

First 14 days of the year....

New Blog

Yeah, I took your advice. I hope you understand my reluctance to start a blog cause I just have something against using templates, something all blogging sites try to force down my throat. Anyway, this blog is not about me. It is about you. It is not about my complains, my daily happenings or achievements. It is about appreciating the people who made a difference in my life. That's why you'll see a lot of "thank you"s in the postings. That's what it's all about.

The New Year Bash

What a great way to start the year by playing in front of a crowd of 5000 people. To me, it was a great way to end my ministry in the worship team. To band fire (Benster, Phebe, Chris, Darnie) + Kenny, it was great spending my "last days" grooving with you guys. I still can't get the images of New Year Bash off my head everytime I hear "Always & Forever". (p.s. Ben Por, find the T-shirt familiar?)

Action!


Farewells ....
Thanks for taking the effort to meet up. Jasmine, thanks for brunch. Jessica and Kenny, thanks for lunch. Too bad you forgot your camera's battery. E-block CG seniors, thanks for the meal, missing Chinese food already. Americans eat cheese with everything. Just smelling it makes you fat. Rachel, hadn't got the chance to cook nasi lemak yet with the sambal you gave me. However, the seniors here already can't wait to try it out.


the great meal

... in the midst of packing
Now this is the hard part. 6 more hours before the plane flies and my room is still almost. Thanks to the E-block CG juniors (Wei Guang, Grace, Lishi, Mel, Christina) for helping me pack. I guess you guys must have burned your weekend trying to shove my stuff into your cupboards. You kids are great. It has been fun being your big brother/father. Grace, I owe you one big meal.

Quan Hui: Can't owe you enough. You have really demonstrated what it takes to be a true friend. Guess I would not have boarded my plane in time if it wasn't for you. Gonna miss you buddy.

Leaving

Rong Hui, Soon Yang and Wang Xing, thanks for sending me off. Could see you guys fighting off tears just to keep awake.



Apologies

To the people I promised to meet up but didn't...

Kennard: Sorry for not being able to record the CD. My nights were burnt from rehearsals.
Rui Jun: Chom chom with Ray when I come back. Promise.
Adeline: Didn't manage to go KL in the end. Stuck at Muar.
Melf: Too bad I didnt' get to receive what you wanted to pass to me. Appreciate your effort.

Philadelphia

After a long journey and some mishap adventures in between, I would say it is worth it. This place is pictureque - nice vegetation, beautiful architechture.... Jasmine, WX, Pan jing, Rong Hui, Weng Cheong, David, Soon Yang, Bi Peng, Ken & Jason - thanks for the jacket. It came in very handy. Can't live without it now.



Thank you for everything. Wonder how less colourful my life if without you. Continue to be the great people that you are to others and they will have things to write about.

Melody: Happy Birthday!
