The King was Dethroned

So I woke up 4am today to catch US Open Men's final Federer vs Del Potro
Federer started off really good, he played many nice shots, and eventually took the first set.
I was thinking of a straight sets win, but the Argentine forced the 2nd set into the tie brake and took the 2nd set.
No straight sets, maybe 4 sets I think. But the Argentine was playing at the top of his game which then took the match to the fifth and deciding set.
It was really disappointing to see how Federer played in the final set.
Double faults, unforced errors, and then a 3-6 loss =(
Seriously, Federer was on the upper hand at the beginning of the match
and I really thought that he will win the title, making it his 16th title in his career, and 6 consecutive wins in the US Open.
Oh well, it's all over now. The results were set at 6-3, 6-7, 6-4, 3-6.

It was good match to watch, but the results were just disappointing.
I'm a Federer fan you know =(

Certificate of Completion

On 24th June 2009 the undersigned hereby acknowledge that

Looi Carmen

has successfully completed her final examination

Year 1

Audrey
Signature

ber-Bonding

Terri, William, Audrey

This is my 6 years old brother, William, turning 6 in September
Just a note for those who don't really know my family background
Daddy and Mummy were separated when I was 4,
Mummy remarried, and this is how I got my little brother.

He's so cute right

William got himself a gameboy recently
He's been asking for it, since months ago?
Obviously, Mummy can't take it anymore, so
she bugged me and Terri to find the gameboy for him.
We went out on labour's day, first to The Curve and then to Subang Parade.
The only gameboy we found at Curve was either a psp or a nintendo,
which mummy doesn't agree to buy.
So we went to Subang Parade, straight to the digital area.
There, in a game shop, we found the gameboy he's been dreaming of.
It maybe outdated, but who cares as long as my brother loves it.
His happy face in the picture above says it all.

**********

It was also our mother-daughter hang out day
We were supposed to shop and dine.
Well, we didn't buy much.
Mum got herself a wallet, she got me a uno stacko, terri got to eat pork belly from Kissaten.
Mummy initially wanted to get me the Paris Hilton bag which I like, but I said no.
I like the bag la, but it's not worth to buy.
So, no Paris Hilton bag. (I'm regretting now)
Never mind, I still got a consolation prize.
Uno stacko and Dinner at Kissaten, which made me equally happy.
In case you didn't know, Kissaten is my favourite restaurant for now.

Meaning behind 1004

This is how far we've come.
Shared both joy and sorrow,
highs and lows together.
I've got lots to say
But I just don't know where to start.
Thank you for being there
even though I 've shut you out countless of times.
But, I'm truly glad that we made it this far.
Cheers to our 5 years of friendship and counting!!!

My Dad Rocks!!!

This is my dad.
Fierce, strict, protective are the best words to describe my dad.
But my dad is one of the best dad on earth.
He's a loving and caring daddy.

Daddy brought us up and
gives us the best he can in everything.
Daddy loves us and the family very very much
especially both Terri and I.

Today is his 57th birthday
Happy Birthday Daddy!!!
We LOVE you, daddy!!!

7-8 March 2009

Back from Raub for more than a week
It was my first mission trip
I wasn't interested to go at first
But I felt that I should go, at least once
And I'm glad that I did
It wasn't easy for me
especially speaking in BM
what more sharing in Bahasa.
Few days before the trip
I thought of finding a lame excuse to pull out.
But none came into my mind.


I gained many first experiences in this trip.
I visited the orang asli, experienced their lives, played with the kids
ate babi hutan, ate with my hand, shared in BM,
saw a big porcupine as a pet with my own eyes (I'm a jakoon)
the cheapest ais-kacang I ever had, etc...

It was more of me getting bless by the people there
rather than me blessing them.
I learned so much from them, from the pastor.
Their faith, sincerity, kindness,warmness and so much more.
God was real, and is always real.
If it wasn't for this trip
I wouldn't be certain that He is always by my side.
Years of attending church and listening to the pastors,
"God's always with you" gradually became a theory, and less real to me.
But now, I'm assured that His is always there with me.
I'm looking forward to go again, I want to visit them again.


A short video - Song sung by the orang asli, it's a nice song!!!

T for Terri

This is my sister.

She's hot and pretty. My sister buys me Starbucks, expensive meals, and lotz of presents.
She's the one that brought me to Sg.Wang and Petaling Street.
She's the one that taught me how to take the bus.
She takes care of me. . . .

What I'm trying to say is
I LIKE MY SISTER VERY MUCH la,
though there are times I really want to kick her
But I thank God for an older sister
Today is her big day!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Because of that, I'm gonna say this out loud
I LOVE MY ONE and ONLY JIE JIE!!!!
