Colour My World | Hillsong Colour Conference 2011

And it was another great Hillsong Colour Conference, not at the Royal Albert Hall which I'd very much prefer, but at the Wembley Arena this year. I've long heard of Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena so was glad to "check it out", but oh man, I soon realised how far it is from my home (more than an hour to get there).

Anyways main thing is not the venue but the conference itself! This year Bobbie Houston the host stepped up in faith and chose this bigger venue from ROH, and there were more than 4,000 ladies who attended the 2.5 day conference. Can you imagine the level of screams and shrieks that we could potentially generate? I think it could bring the roof down.


Guest speakers included Lisa Bevere, Jeanne Mayo, my fav Judah Smith, and Bobbie Houston herself. I've never heard Lisa or Jeanne speak before so it was all new to me. Judah however, I heard him at last year's conference, wow he is one amazing preacher. He is young, trendy, dresses so well (loves shopping can u imagine), humourous, and above all, a solid preacher after God's heart. He spoke a powerful message that I had to run out to grab the CD afterwards coz I just had to listen to it again.

As usual, we were spoilt by all the guys serving. Yes men serving the ladies for this event :) They lined the way all the way from Wembley Park station to the arena and greeted us with big smiles; they opened the doors for us; made us all feel so welcomed. During breaks while we sit out in the sun with our food, they walked around asking for rubbish so they could help throw away for us. How pampered were we! And then of course on the finale night, we were presented with a big fat beautiful rose - all thorns removed!! Jesus bless all these amazing guy servers!


This year, I hanged out with Gabby, Phillipa and a few other girls from my connect.


During breaks, there was a Pamper Zone set up outside with tables covered with pretty Cath Kidston table cloth, and bottles and bottles of nail polish. Girls serving were doing hand massages and painting nails. For some (weird) reason, we spotted an empty table on the second evening and Gabby volunteered to do my nails in this super nice purplish pink. Super like. Milky colours are in fashion here and I promised myself I will hunt this colour down after the conference hehe.

All the effort put in by the whole Hillsong team was commendable as usual.

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
