Au revoir Xanga...

Melissa Yap regrets to inform you that she had moved back
to her beloved Blogspot.

Sighs, sorry lar...
Xanga rather racist lar.
ONLY xanga users can comment, be subscribed and so on...
The layouts are rather limited too.

Blogspot's features are better too...
I took a lot of consideration kay... cause I uploaded so many of my photos here!
*sniffx*

So yeah, I'll be there if you need me.
The page will still be here don't worry.

Love y'all... *mwarcks!*

"Do you wanna go out on a date?"

 Hahaa...
Well, yesterday my best friend, Josh* [identity protected] invited me out for a new year movie, so he says.

Lol, honestly...
I wasn't even sure if my dad would even let me go out despite the fact that school's over and all.
In fact, I was quite sure that dad would say NO.
So, I just told him that I'll give my dad a ring and will get back to him as soon as possible.

So there I went...
"Hello Pa, Josh wants to treat me out to a movie..."
"Oh when?"
"Today"
"What time?"
"7PM"
"Just you?"
"Yeah"
"JUST you?"
"Yeah"
*asks mum in background, Mum: Go lar..*
"Go lar, okay" - hangs up.

For me, that was unbelievable.
Dad has been restricting me from movies eventhough SPM was over.
Heh, perhaps it was just the fact that Josh was the last person dad would ever worry about.
So I called Josh up to tell him that said yes, he told me when he'd pick me up, 7PM, it was done.

"Oooh jie!!! YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE!!",
my siblings would tease me non-stop.
"What are you gonna do if he holds your hand??", my youngest brother getting all excited too.
Mum's getting hyped on teasing too.
Alright, that's it.

Hah, a date? No, this is NOT a date.
More like a best friend outing.. yeah, that's what it is.
Anything BUT a date.

Nevertheless, got ready and dressed up.
No pics, lol. I didn't think it was necessary.
Hahaa... XD

Sis was getting all excited and thrilled at the idea of me going out with the guy who HAD a crush on me since primary school, but I simply didn't feel the same for him which was sadly heart heartbreaking for him but he eventually got over it.
There she being so confident that he would come out with an umbrella for me because it was pouring cats and dogs outside..

Boy, she couldn't be psychic enough.
"I know Josh", she claimed. "You know he would too".
Damn, fine.

There he was standing outside my gates under the pouring rain with a red umbrella, dressed REALLY casual.
Mum handed me over to him and he was being a gentlemen opening the car door for me and stuff.
I felt... awkward, lol.

His mum sent us to Tebrau City and after she left, Josh couldn't help but notice how I was dressed that night.
"High heels..?", he smiled as if I was not for real.
"Well, this would be my first seeing you like this..".
Hahaa, he felt so intimidated. Apparently to him, "we weren't compatible", LOL.

I wanted to watch Eragon cause I didn't get the chance to.
But Josh wanted to watch some comedy, so I was fine with that.
Indecisively, he said what about "Love Wrecked"?
Ooh, all I knew that Amanda Bynes was in it, should be fun, so Love Wrecked it was.
Just so you know, I knew nothing about the movie, its sypnosis and all, nothing.

Time was planned in such a way that everything was just smooth, the minute we bought the tickets without any hustle of any queues at all, it was apparently only 4 minutes to showtime.
We got our popcorn and drinks and up we went to Hall 4.
Hey, we had the best seats in the house, right in the middle and there was hardly anyone around.

"You know, you're one lucky man cause my dad wouldn't allow me with anyone else when I asked.."
"Oh wow... God has favour with me then..!"
"Ohh shut up.. lol"


We talked a lil during the long previews of trailers and then it started.

Alright, in case you've watched the show or either read a review about it, perhaps you would understand what I was going through. It was just too awkward for Josh and I cause it was as if we were watching our lives flash through that huge screen. There were just simply too many similiarities, very cliché for us both.
Too cliché as a matter of fact.

"God, what are you trying to do? What are you trying to tell me..??"
As I adjusted myself in my seat and Josh shared his popcorn with me.

Some of the very cliché scenes...

"What about Ryan?", Jenny's mum asked.
"Eww, kissing him would be like kissing my own brother...", Jenny replied.
I laughed in my heart cause I couldn't agree more.

"Umm, I hope that you're not worried about the fact that...", Ryan said nervously.
"What? About you and Jenny being roomies?", said Jenny's dad completing Ryan's sentence.
"Well, umm.. yeah.."
"Ryan, you're the last person I'm worried about. I'm more worried about that boy Lenny..."

I snorted.

poster1

For the sake of those who were like myself and knew nothing about the show,
it's about this 2 best friends [urgh, of all things] Jenny (Amanda Bynes) and Ryan (Jonathan Bennett) just ended high school [oh, what a coincidence] and they're working at this same inn before furthering their studies.
In the process she meets her oh-most-adored popstar Jason Masters (Chris Carmack) and tries her luck getting his attention and his love, leaving Ryan on the sides.
IN the end, the best friends ended up as lovers.


After the movie, hahaa... we just started talking about what we were experiencing in our hot seats earlier on.
"It was... awkward", I said.
"Yeah, it's just that... the ending wasn't the same", Josh replied.
I could just look at Josh to see if I could really read what he was thinking.
Heh, 7 years of friendship now.
We were very open to one another cause we were the best of friends, so we shared what we felt and thought.
Well, true enough, he has really gotten over me and has already accepted that fact.

After buying a couple of Papa Rotis, we just sat down and catched up on each others' lives.
At 10.30PM, we walked out to the other exit and waited after Josh's mum called to say she's coming.
There we were under the starry sky and a full moon after the rain.
Yes, the setting was romantic enough I have to say.
It's just that we were just... best friends.

I asked Josh how he'd feel if he hadn't confessed that early 2006.
"I'd be flying...", that's all he said.
I knew what he meant because the entire night was simply... perfect.
Everything fell into place, planned in an early agenda.

When the familiar vehicle approached, Josh once again being a gentlemen opened the car door and this time he didn't sit infront but followed in after me.
I was wondering why until I saw that there were two people infront now.
Both his parents.

Okaaayy.
So, his parents were watching both us walking down towards them, mm hmm.
In that car, I somehow felt interrogated eventhough we didn't talk much.

Hahaa, perhaps it was because Josh did tell me that his mum felt that it wasn't really alright going out alone with me.
She said it wasn't right, lol. That it wasn't time yet and all.
Josh had fun and enjoyed himself anyway.

And before I reached home, I passed Josh a belated christmas and new year present that I've prepared for him.
Well yeah he felt guilty, but it was his night that night.
He had a rough holiday, things didn't go his way...
But that night, I guess it made up for everything else. Well, I hope so.
He was very happy.. :))

Hmm, I could just think to myself that perhaps Josh deserved this...
He had always being seeking for my attention, being so ever caring, leaving me hints..lol...
Honestly, I knew that Josh liked me since primary but I kept our relationship as best friends and that's as far as it went. I knew that he had to come clean and during a phonecall after Planetshakers' Conference 2005, he confessed. With much love, I lovingly told him that I didn't have the same feelings for him and I could just see him as my best friend and brother. He kept quiet for the past 6 years because of the fear of rejection and that I would be an aquaintance to him. Hahaa, I assured him that things would not change between us best friends and I'd never avoid him and be an aquaintance. He was relieved that I reacted in that matter but he took quite sometime to sink in the facts and now, he has moved on.

So right before I get on with my working life and furthering my studies,
he had the perfect opportunity given by God...
A date with me.
"This would be my first date..", Josh said smiling.

I'm sure it meant a lot to him, one way or another.
God is good. He really is.
I guess it's a good start for Josh this 2007.

I reached home at 11PM and my parents didn't lecture me or anything cause I kept them updated with phonecalls. Hahaa, showing responsibility alright... ;))

Right after dad went to sleep...
"How did it go??"
"Did he hold your hand??"
"Did anything happen??"
"What happened???"


Urrggh.
"No, no, no...!"
In fact, we didn't have much body contact except when we passed the popcorn, that's it.
During our walks, we weren't close either, rather far apart in fact.


Well, I had fun. It was great.
It was a date with my best friend.

******

Anyways, today my OTHER bestie Sue and I went on a..........
JOB HUNT!

Sue and mum came and pick me up at about 2PM to Tebrau City [recalls last night's date, lol]
Hahaa...

Urrmmms, after this whole hunt thingy, I just realise how racist some Malaysians are...
Sighs, saddenning lar right?
We're supposed to live in HARMONY...
Hello, you're in MALAYSIA for goodness sake!

We walked into some shops and the minute they saw me with Sue, they instantly gave a no.
Down right RACIST.
Beh tahan betul.
I wouldn't even want the job if they accepted me and kicked Sue one side because of racism.

Well, Sue doesn't wanna say it but... I know she felt very a little bad...
Sniffx... they're mean
Sue was glad that I was with her, she was SOOO nervous!
I'm glad that I was there with her too...

Anyways, thank goodness that NOT ALL Malaysians are that sort...
We've applied in...
[according to preferences, ahaks!]

1) Tanjung Golden Village! *whoo!*
2) Pizza Hut
3) Sushi King
4) ... The arcade?
*lol, we won't go even if we were accepted! I'll have a migrain sitting there for 8 hours...*

The pays are not bad at all! Well, for us fresh graduates of course... hahaa.
Well, the procedure in Tebrau City is we've gotta fill in these forms and then wait for their phone call, so yeah.
As for Pizza Hut, we'll have to go there on Monday.

We wanted to work in HARRIS, but it's FULL, sighs.
Giordano was gonna pay anyone RM1400 but they're what I've said earlier on, so they said NO.
*snorts*
Kenny Rogers were paying good, but it's FULL too.
I guess that we were sorta contented with what we've applied for, so we'll wait and see.
It was about 6.30PM when we left.

P1010003
iloveyoumydardardarlinggg!!! *mwarcksmwarcks!* <3

Took the bus home, [lol, Sue's first time!] and we chatted and had dinner till 9PM
when mum came and pick her up.

Sue'll come over tomorrow to hang out and chill..
We had a great day, learnt many things about people, experience, jobs and... stuff. Lol.
Felt older already, lol.

image00666
Urrgh, had a bad sleep yesterday nigth due to very bad headache...
Hopefully tonight wouldn't be the same.


Ah well...
The past 2 days have been good.
No wait, they're great! :))
They make up for the tears at night, ahaks!


Thank you God...
You're amazing.

Farewell 2006....

In another one hour, 2006 will be another chapter at its end.

How was 2006?
Well for me, it was bittersweet, mixed and jumbled up with so many things...
"Just like ice-kacang" quoting Benson, my brother. I had some today, hahaa.
It's the year I went through SPM, ended my high school life and realized that my lightyears are getting short. Lol, time passes by us so quickly we hardly noticed it. Making us live behind times. 

At the same time besides the ups and downs, I've learnt many life lessons,
be it tough, easy, delightful, painful - experiences in life.
It's part and parcel of life, having no regrets but accepting that it's a lesson well learnt to prepare us for something more ahead.

HIGHLIGHTS 2006
- Many great achievements in school academically and leaving a "legacy" before leaving, lol..
- Delirious Concert in Singapore
- Festival of Arts
- First mission trip to Banting
- THE CORE performing at Jusco Tebrau City
- Nights of Fire, JB
- Volunteered at MS Doulos
- SPM
- Planetshakers' KL Conference
- Packed schedule Christmas
- and sweet memories :))


LOWLIGHTS 2006
- SUPER HECTIC!
- manyak-manyak stress and pressure 
- My pathetic lonesome 17th birthday, lol..
- Freedom on a halt
- Often misunderstood by others
- Dull and boring New Year event
- and simply bitter and painful memories :((

Oh well, anyway....
I can just hope that 2007 will be sooo much better.
This year was okay, yeap.
Hmm, well... I still love "Sweet 16" :))

RESOLUTIONS 2007
- Figure out what the heck I wanna be in the future ASAP! [ so lost... :(( ]
- Get my driving license early January
- Get a job till I continue my studies, earn some $$$$
- Do well in my studies
- Lose the fats...? LOL...

Can't seem to think now... Sighs, the pain in my mouth is hurting like nonsense man.
It's swollen and all.. hard to talk, hard to think [serious], hard to drink, hard to eat [can be a good thing, lol].. Simply moving my jaw hurts the crap out of it.

Thanks to that nurse who forced that metal into my mouth, hurting the insides of my mouth, causing my wisdom teeth to be having a lot of friction with the walls of my mouth, making it swollen with excess skin. Yeap, ouch. Plus, it sends "PAIN" waves to my brain...
So, I'm just... in pain. Help.

Just for the record, just because I'm going for braces, the pain is NOT supposed to even start YET! Sighs, dumb government nurse.

*****

Yesterday, we were at Steffi's place for a pot bless and also to celebrate the new year in a way.
Hahaa no, it's not a new year party, just a pot bless.

We had fun. So sad I couldn't really enjoy the food there... my mouth was still in agony.
At least it was WAAAYYY better than last year..
I was tormented at the fact that the youths we having a blast while I was at an adults' dull new year gathering...
Siblings and I could just stare at the stars while rocking in the swing,
not bothered if 2006 arrived or not, it was so sad.. :((
Our hearts were longing to be there but due to come complications, we could not.
Sighs, another teary end but it's past.
OH well.. :))

Thank goodness for this year's end then, hahaa!
P1010068

Before going over to Steffi's place, we were still busy with the Red Cross Flood Relief Donations at church... was there practically the whole day, tired kay...
We're done finally!! Wee.. For practically one week doing this.

P1010074
Hey, hey! BBQ!

P1010079
Mel hearts marshmellows like this... <3
No, I wasn't enjoying the sauna lar.. I blinked. And no, I wasn't fighting with the kids. LOL.

P1010119
Oh look! We end up at the swing under the stars again... :))

P1010136
My darlings...! :D
I'm tired already, lol... sighs.

P1010125
Thanks to Steffi and family for being such good hosts and good food... that I can't enjoy much.
*sniffx* but hey, it's great! :))

*****

At church today, we had a great worship...
Great to end the year with, very spirit-filled.
After church service, I stayed on cause we had Mighty Kids, church's children's programme. 
Went back at about 5PM something though it ended at 4.30PM cause we were waiting for Andrea's mum to come... hahaa.

PC310058
Andrea and I... yes, she's a cutie.

PC310044
And yes, my mouth's cacat-ed cause it REALLY HURTS... *sniffx*
Tormenting.

After that, we went to Makro to have some ice-kacang.
Parents love the ice-kacang there, it's really nice.
And then we went to Tebrau City to watch Night At The Museum.
Hahaa, it's a REALLY GOOD movie! You should catch it!
Funny part was, my family and I sat at different seats in the theater, lol.
Parents didn't want the later one at 9.15PM, went for dinner nearby after the movie.

So, here I am...
Waiting for 2007 to arrive.

Lord, I commit 2007 into Your hands cause I know You've got great plans for me.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future..."
- Jeremiah 29:11 [NIV]


To that, I'll hold on to.
Cheers!

Farewell 2006.
Hello 2007.

***************

Rain, rain... earthquake, earthquake....

Yeap.
That's what the whole hu-ha that's been going on....

RAIN
Well, JB's flooded here and there.
So for the past 4 days, I've been at church.
Church has been a collection centre for the flood victims.
Yeap.

Click here to check what's going on if you're lost:
http://www.geocities.com\cogsjb\blog.html
Yeah, you won't miss my huge rear end there too, what a sight... -.-"

Man, I can't help but realise the pretty and ugly side of people in these times.
Firstly, the good - Well, they came with supplies, fast and good. The ones who brought food and water.
Next, the ugly - they find this time as a opportunity to do "spring cleaning".
What happens? They give you "pakaian yang tak boleh pakai". How nice.
Dahlah kata "no more clothes please", bawa juga. Sighs.

How I know?
Well, I was sorting them out.
Great.

Anyways, we did the sortings, labellings, packing, sealing, and shipping them out.
Operational from 10AM - 8PM.
Ends this Sunday.

Tomorrow's the last day... last shipment.
Man, so tired k..
But the feeling's mutual still, heh.

Except the fact that I went for my dental 3 days ago...
That dumb nurse injured my mouth while puttin that piece of metal into my mouth roughly like gangsta weii....
Now, that my teeth is also part of the friction in my mouth, it hurts like CRAP....
*sniffx* owhh, the agony....

EARTHQUAKE
Poor Taiwan, I hope they're okay.... :((

The internet connection have been sucky and all.
But it's BACK NOW!!! Picture(10wi)
WHOO!

Okay lar, it's like 4.40AM now..
Gotta wake up early...
like in a 4-5 hours sleep only.
I need more than that,
considering the very tiring hours...
hahaa..

I sat here in front of
my beloved computer the whole day...
And yes, I'm satisfied :))

Sweet dreams...
*mwarcks!*

Merry Christmas.... *smiles*

2006

A very Merry Christmas to all...
Hope it was a blast for everyone.

Ha, well it was... alright, for me.
I'll sum it all up... haha, yes with pictures.
They paint a thousand words :))

We performed in Plaza Pelangi... [noted in previous entries]
PC090057

We performed in City Square on the 15th, 16th and 22nd!
P1010009
Who's in the house babeh..??!

PC220006
PC220004
PC220007
POSE, HOLD!! End...

PC220028
OH LOOK!! Leng zai, leng lui! Pheewwwitt! [ Mel: Lollipop? ]
Last day performing here... weee.

We had our Children's Christmas Party!
Well, this one, it was the best of all programmes because this whole foundation of the event was based on one word, FAITH.

What happened was, on the 23rd of December, it was notified that there would be
NO ELECTRICITY in the whole area of Kebun Teh, from MORNING to NIGHT,
and the children's programme was caught in the middle.

What were we gonna do?
We couldn't postpone it cause the children will not come back the next day..
So?
We believed that if we wanna do great things for God, He'll provide.
Therefore, we carried on and walked by FAITH, not by SIGHT.

And trust me, we were all not that calm.
We were alright outside, but on the inside, we were having doubts and panicking!
Hahaaa.... humans. *smiles*

It was dark, hot, awkward... but we praised the Lord.
PC230066


Poor children, they're all so hot in their costumes, but they were willing.
God bless their soul.
PC230067

We kept on praising... just with the drums and piano.
PC230063

Trust me, my fingers were about to snap out of place cause I had to play loud for our sanctuary was kinda big and we piano alone was not loud enough, plus accompanied by the drums.
Don't worry, Benson's a good drummer, and knows well enough not to play loudly.
The worship leaders were also projecting their voices as loud as they can.

PC230061

*while I was banging playing the piano...*

"God, please... *stops a while and builds faith*
Okay Lord, I put my trust in You...".


As my fingers were about to give up on me....

BOOOM!!!!!!!!!
GOD SENT ELECTRICITY!!!!

P1010015
God is good.
He's really good.

PC230085
Parents: FINALLY, air-cond...! We're all so sweaty now.. -.-"

THE PARTY WAS A SUCCESS!
Thank God.


We had our Church's Christmas Dinner!
Hahaaa.... it was alright lar.
We were very blessed because 2 angels from God actually blessed my family with tickets to the dinner, yes all 6 of us. We're all really blessed.

Make new friends...
PC240012

Hahaa, again, berjumpa with all our long missed friends...

Then went to the main stage cause....

....

PC250039
SESAME STREET'S IN MALAYSIA.
Wee..?

Hahaa, I remember watching them on the TV screen...
"Lalalala, lalalala... Elmo's world.."
*jingle bell's melody* "Feet, feet, feet... feet, feet, feet...."
*asks a dumb fish* "Dorothy, what do you think about feet?"
*asks a random baby* [smacks forehead] "Baby, what do you think about feet?"
*baby buat bodoh while gaga-ing*
*elmo's weird laugh again* "Oh thanks baby, here.. kiss, kiss... mwah, mwah, mwah..."
*the red stuffed toy's weird laugh again*

Hey, it has the potential of scaring the $h!T outta anyone...
imagine hearing that when it's all pitch black.

.............. -.-"
Well, I'm not saying that I hate Elmo.
I'm just bored, wee....~ :D

Ended up in Yamaha, and we had our own jamming sessions of singing!
With Mr. Whita Teo....!!!
PC250047

Ahh, he never fails to melt my heart everytime he hit those friggin' white and black keys... <3
[REMINDER: IT'S HIS PLAYING, NOTHING ELSE]

PC250049
Who needs REDBOX? LOL... XD

And Christmas ended with me coming back home at about 5-6PM,
and slept till 10PM.

"Geng" right... I know.

******

And before I end, I wanna make a special dedication to
a dear friend who's birthday falls on Christmas too! Hahaa...

It was on this special day that
TWO very special people came into this world, and into my life.
Firstly, Jesus Christ my Lord, Saviour and best friend...
Secondly, He brought you :))

It makes Christmas really special simply because these two people exist,
making my life wonderful, amazing and complete.

Happy Birthday Yen Fah... :))
May the LORD bless you more abundantly every single day and
light your days with joy and happiness...

The Christmas Day ended with this... [shot taken on the way home]
PC250056
A rainbow.
Perfect.


Well.....
Christmas was alright.

However, I'm sorry to say that...
somehow I just don't feel that Christmas joy that I usually do.
Sighs, sad isn't it?

Nevertheless, did a lot of thinking....
Flash backs, became nostalgic, lol.

But after all, Christmas is about our Lord Jesus Christ..
And I'm so thankful that on that faithful night, he came to the world,
only to die on the cross for our sins, so that we may live.

I'll conclude with a very famous verse from the bible...
but yet holds such deep meaning, till this very day.


"For God SO loved the world, that He gave His ONLY Son, that whoever who BELIEVES in Him shall not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE..." - John 3:16

PLANETSHAKERS CONFERENCE KUALA LUMPUR 2006

Hey!!!
I'm BACK!!!!!!!!

MAN... I can't tell you guys how much this year's conference meant to me!
It was AWESOME... :))

We had a bunch of us from CA, from the CORE, some of my church members like Bryan and Jef Fri and also some Singaporeans from World Revival Prayer Fellowship Church who joined us this year!
It was really cool... :))

With the Singaporeans :))

This year, me and my pals were under the SECURITY department. Hahaa, it was really cool! We were under Brother Jit, he's really nice! It was great fun for all of us... :)) Despite the fact that it was tiring, but nevertheless it was great! I still dunno where I got all that energy to jump like mad for all the worship sessions. LOL.

Benson, my bro and Brother Jit!!!

P1010239
BEN!!! Yeap... he had the right to order us security people around... hahaa.

Considering the fact that we had to stay at our grandma's, *due to terms and conditions apply*
we went home late every morning, our aunt would pick us up at 12AM, go for a drink and home we went. So by the time we bathe and stuff, LOL, 3AM or more. We didn't just lose sleep, we also had to wake up UBER early okay... cause we're about 1 HOUR away from the Convention Centre. And, NOT INCLUDING THE JAM. Sighs, we were actually late for one morning... was suppose to be there at 8.15AM but we showed up at 8.50AM. Sighs... But thank goodness with the merciful grace from Brother Jit, he didn't scold me or anything, just said, nevermind it's okay. LOL... but it wasn't long before I heard that he was sorta cold on the other security peeps when they came late. Hahaa.... ouch.

P1010205
The gang accompany us as we wait for our aunt....

P1010207
Ouch... =/ - Perhaps they couldn't stand waiting no more.... this would be their reaction.

The Message sessions were really awesome, you could really feel God's presence and His mighty hand moving without fail. It was PHENOMENAL! It was really refreshing for me.. spiritually, physically and mentally, I was recharged!!!
