My Weekend

Saturday's Highlight: Went to Cameron Highlands...


We started out from Penang (3 cars of us) at 6am on Saturday morning. There were 10 others on the trip - to check out the camp site for church family camp in June.

The sun rises...Ben the driver of my Proton Wira... We decided not to car-pool with the rest of the people (even while my car was the most 'power-less' to climb Cameron Highlands...) because I was afraid of being carsick and throwing up over the laps of the other aunties and uncles... Speaking of which - I don't know why, it was only recently that I've gotten carsick in cars. Before this, I was a pretty good passenger.Rise and shine! It's time for breakfast!!!
Stopping at the Sg. Perak rest area (convenience store) for breakfast. FYI, we didn't eat the Twisties for breakfast...they just happened to be in my picture...
Poor Oreo. Think he was car-sick!:P He must have been whimpering on my lap... because Ben kept smacking him when he tried to manja-manja with Ben, while he was driving. Haha.
(Good imagination, huh? But Ben did smack Oreo just to have the fun of seeing me fiercely, protectively protest.)
Approaching Brinchang...

I later took over the wheel from a very sleepy Ben, and let him nap while my car crawled up the steep highland roads. Literally. Haha.

We checked out the potential campsites, talked to the hotel managers, etc. After that, we all went for lunch together at Tanah Rata.

Then of course, Ben and Aunty Angeline (one of the church aunties that went along) went gah-gah over the flowers growing everywhere! *Click!Click* went the cameras. I was more amused over their antics than anything else.

The flowers were beautiful. Indeed God had fearfully and wonderfully made each one of them. Can you imagine, everyone of them does not escape the attention of its Maker. Later Mel joined in....


We were mesmerized by the scenery, more than anything... Then we had to go back to Penang in the afternoon, coz we had cell group in the evening.

Sunday's highlights:

We had church in the morning...played keyboard for the 2nd worship service... After that we had to meet up with Uncle BK and Aunty AL, and then I had to rush back to church to play for P+W session of Alpha.

Evening saw me huffing and puffing at the Gym, eating dinner with Ben's parents (Ben had to attend Newcomer's Dinner at church, since he was one of the organizers and he's got his CG to introduce to new comers), and bumming around out of exhaustion.

Sunday night treat, was to go for a ride on Ben's high-shot bike (yes, the one we escorted to Bkt. Mertajam for servicing 2 weeks ago - it's back!) around the QB/Bayan Lepas area. I used to be really terrified when he first put me on it, and whenever he zoomed round the corners... It makes you feel like you're going to fly off. But now, I'm starting to enjoy the bike rides.

On Monday, I went for my usual dayout and coffee-ing at my usual place - then in the evening, after Ben had gotten off work, we had dinner with Uncle BK and Aunty AL at Sushi King. Had a good time of catching up (as usual) and fellowship.

That was all for my weekend!:)
