There was a joyous wedding celebration of my cousin yesterday. I was supposed to sing together with my choir group during her wedding service, but was assigned to be the commentator at the eleventh hour. The service was poorly organised, as the bride and bridegroom hardly understand our English priest, Fr Ferdinand Veerger and their booklet has a few important mistakes like they didn't include in the marriage pledge. So I, the first time commentating "kelam kabut" but then everything was under control and it all ended well. I felt so consoling to receive well done praise from the choir after service. :p
Oh no, I complained and commented about people's weddings everytime! The MC for last night dinner was a terrible one! Plus, two hired singers who claimed themselves to be 'prince and queen singers' had their concert on stage for the night! Plus, MC kept praising the queen singer who is beautiful and has good voice instead of the bride :(
My sister's wedding was so 'perfectly' organised and I think it's the best wedding i have ever attended in Sibu :p
Nevertheless, the bride, my cousin turns up to be very beautiful in wedding gowns. She is pretty and SLIM as usual. This is a big motivation for me.

I was recently busy with the camp which was held during Raya break. It's the first Sibu YCS inter-schools camp.
I spoke as the coordinator of Sibu YCS..
It was a tough one since I don't have any committee members but just two helpers. Thanks to Jarnice and Casimir (Youth Congress leaders) for guiding me.
We invited an international speaker, Teh Ah See from Penang.
The 76 participants were from various schools in Sibu, Kapit and Sarikei.
Gamesp/s: can anyone spot me?
Sing and dance
Talent night
Washing of feet
Taize prayer
We had 爱心晚餐 which they ate in pairs with eyes or hands tied up.
The cripples and the blinds have to find own ways to feed one another
All had fun but many went hungry for the night because it's diificult for them to eat
Jarn and I wanted to join the fun earlier by deciding she becomes the blind and me, the cripple, but we were both too hungry that night so gave up.
