Dedicated to you

With Pharm friends Maryam (Egypt) and Jasmine (Taiwan)
My family

Saturday night was heaps of fun. Chia and i arrived in church around 12noon and the decoration of the conference room started then. One by one friends came to help out. First it was deciding where the food table would go. Then "Shall we have little eating tables with chairs?" and "Let's try out the sound system." What probably took the longest was blowing up the balloons (Thanks Joshua O, Jonathan - yes, that took a few days of your life :P - Gina, Jane, Soo Sian and Chia), tying them onto string and putting up the streamers and the ribbons. It went well. Originally, the idea was to string them up and all around the ceiling so that it was totally covered, but in the end, it was more like long clusters of balloons that hung on strings radiating from one corner and out to the stage. It was amazing. Thanks heaps to everyone who came to help. Thanks to Martin as well for driving me around to buy last minute stuff and tranfers Alice's beautiful lanterns. A big thank you to Jess for helping to organise the food. You're now officially an expert "people feeder"!! :D

The night started out later than planned. Being Malaysians there is no denying the streak of not being punctual. The guys wore pink! Man, i was impressed! And i must say, everyone looked smashing!!! :) Eunice and Mart had a great programme for the night, including a very touching power point presentation. It felt strange though, i must admit, being the center of attention. I'd much rather prefer serving food or cleaning up in the kitchen. It was a pleasant change. Hehe.. y the time we finished, the clock had struck past midnight. A number of people were still jamming and shaking their "boodies" to our very interesting selection of music, lights dimmed and spot lights on. That was cool. Man, Ah Chung did the best GREASE performance eva!! I was stoked! Marcus managed to make it after his 7th form ball, which was really sweet. By the time everything was cleaned up and locked up, it was 2am. It was a great night...and night to remember....a night i want to dedicate to all my friends, here in Dunedin, back home in Malaysia, and friends scattered in countries throughout the world. You are all God's blessing in my life and i will treasure our friendships forever. Cheers....to friendship!
