Singapore/Malaysia

Blah. I really can't be bothered writing this blog, but since someone asked me to, I will.

Okay, so I'm in Malaysia right now on a friend's computer so no photos atm. =(

Hehe. Yeah, it's been an aight. Good food. =) Can't wait till CNY!!!

I'll just letchu all know a little bit about the Mah family CNY tradition. So what we do is we all go down to a place near Singapore called Muar, in Johor (A state in Malaysia). And thats basically the Mah Ancestral Home... it's really cool. Basically we go down and theres like... my dad and his 7 siblings and their familys (6 of them married with 3 kids each) and the aunts of theirs and cousins and maids and my neices and nephews all squeeze into a small home. It's really awesome actually. It never seemed odd to me, until I actually THOUGHT about it. Hahah. How we fit SO many people into such a small home... and with only one bathroom and one toilet.

So on the eve of CNY, we have a MASSIVE reunion dinner and play with fireworks and crap. And the 8 siblings gamble and crap. And we watch movies and stuff. Hehe... Yeaah. I don't know what else to say? Oh yeah and we drive around and go to relatives/family friends places and stuff and bring oranges and stuff... in exchange for red packets of money. =O!! *sigh*

Well, I'll take photos of THAT for sure. That is seriously a Mah family feat! Hahah. I love my family. My cousins are so awesome too. I've realized we have sorta tiers of cousinhood now. It's like subgenerations in the one generation. For example, my eldest brother's subgeneration is all my cousins around his age, and my subgeneration is the ones around my age. We have like.... 3 or 4 tiers? I'd say 1)Married 2)Working-age 3)Around my age, highschool/university 4)Young'uns. Yeah... There is some overlap, but thats generally how it is. Maybe I'll put up a family tree on my Dad's side as well. Hahah. But yeah. Thats all i have to say.

Photos to come!! =)

Oh and general updates on life:
I'm planning to go summer school again at Columbia! If I get accepted. >.<;; With some really awesome people this time =P

I have my SATs on this Saturday and I'm so unprepared. I'm aiming for above 1800 out of 2400... But then I'll still have to resit it sometime =.=;;

And after that I gotta do all my freaking holiday homework, which I've left to pile up. YAY!

Students Alive/Jesus at MacRob

Today I went to the city for a SA/JAM meeting and it was really good. I got to meet the two leaders of JAM and we had lunch at a MALAYSIAN RESTRAUNT! Haha, 'cause two of us are Malaysian and the other two are part Malaysian... Wh00t.

Yeah, we got to share a lot of experiences and ideas. It's getting me pretty pumped about Students Alive, as long as it's all prepared and stuff.... I want more ideas so we can actually plan out most of our events before school starts so there is LESS pressure on us during the year. I also want to rope in some people into leadership. Okay, that sounds bad. I want to ASK some people to join leadership. NATHAN YII. Yes, come to the dark side. MUAHAHHA. Yeah and other people. =)

Ahhh I really can't think of what to write. Our meeting went pretty well and it was really great to meet people who are so passionate about high school ministry. I think I used to be, but I've sorta died down now. TIME TO REIGNITE THE FLAAAME. Haha. Yeah, that's another resolution.

=) Short blog, 'cause I can't be bothered right now. =DD
