My mother said, "If just once more
I hear you slam that old screen door,
I'll tear out my hair! I'll dive in the stove!"
I gave it a bang and in she dove.

 Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you,
With your turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry;
Weed make a swell pear.

 The dinner has come and went. After all the weeks and months of preparation, the event is over. We manage to sell 122 tables. 2 of the tables were VIP tables ie. for pastors. 

The food was a huge disappointment and completely different from what we tried at the food tasting. The pongteh was burnt, the sambal belachan was too hot(my cousin's tongue was hanging out), the tai bak wasn't sweet enough, etc. etc. And, worse still, there was not enough waiters/waitresses. There was about 20 of them and they were rushing about like mad. They were so slow, that by the time the drama was due to start, the dinner had not finished yet. We still had to go ahead with the drama and I had to miss out 3 or 4 dishes. I'm pretty sure that this will be our last time having Peranakan food for such an event. 

If the food was a disappointment, the drama certainly wasn't. It went on very well, despite the fact that certain parts of the dialogue wasn't there during the rehearsals. I don't think the audience noticed anything unusual even if we who were at the rehearsals did. I had to operate the computer during the whole event so I wasn't up the stage. One of The Star reporter was there. I saw a couple of pics in his blog. You can find them in the link here.

Another visitor(no one knows who) posted video clips of the event in YouTube.



This was my first time wearing a kebaya. B2, B3, and me borrowed them from someone. My mom bought hers. Serene's was the Singapore Airlines type.

I must say that the whole event was very fun and memorable. 

A YouTube video of the worship in the anniversary. My dad is one of the worship leaders. There are 3 worship leaders. One of them is playing the guitar. My dad is the other worship leader. My mom is in the team of back-up singers.

 I have a new hobby:editing. Surprise?
Editing is fun. I just love to go to wikipedia and edit articles. It's very fun. :)
Just thought I'll let you all know.

A couple of days ago, for the first time, my family and I watched Fireproof. We have been wanting to watch this movie since it came out. Now, after watching it, I can't decide whether Facing the Giants or Fireproof is better. Lol. Fireproof has less 'action' than Facing the Giants but its story line is very interesting and good.

 I just send to The Star an article for the Your Say section. StarMag have been publishing some crazy articles about the 'goodness' of evolution and some equally crazy people were lambasting the creationists, so I shot of a letter for the opinion section. I hope it gets publish. 
There was one medical student who said that he was the monkey's uncle and that the creationists can't back up creation with scientific evidence, so in my letter, I included facts from what I learned from EVOLUTION:The Grand Experiment. I love that book. It contains lots of evidence and facts I found useful during the debates in the Sonlight Forums. 
Below is the letter I sent.:-

    I would like to respond to the posts in The case against Mr Samuel (Your Say, Feb 22). Here are some scientific facts to consider before blindly supporting evolution.

    Fact 1: Bird evolution has long been considered one of the three best fossil proofs for evolution. But, despite having more than 200,000 bird fossils, it still cannot be proved that birds evolved from dinosaurs. In fact, some evolution scientists even went as far as to fraudulently construct fossils to prove they are the missing link. Take the Confuciusornis specimen from China as an example. This "feathered dinosaur" fossil, according to evolution scientists, was further evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs.  However, when a CT scan on it was conducted by Dr. Timothy Rowe, Professor of Biology and Geology at the University of Texas and Director of Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory of the Texas Memorial Museum, it was discovered that this Confuciusornis "fossil" was made out of separate pieces of rocks and that grout was used to assemble the fossil. Some fossil parts weren't original but were substituted to make the fossil look complete. There was a small fragment of jaw bone that did not belong to the Confuciusornis and a wing bone that was placed upside down. Later, another CT scan was conducted on another specimen, the Archaeoraptor liaoningensis. The results of the CT scan left Dr. Rowe speechless. 39 rock pieces did not belong and 26 fossil bones were from 4 other animals. Furthermore, these Chinese "feathered dinosaurs" have been discovered to be in the wrong age to be the ancestors of flying birds. They lived 25 million years after the first bird Archaeopteryx. This discovery proves that "feathered dinosaur" fossils are not the missing link between dinosaurs and the Archaeopteryx. 

    Fact 2: The theory of evolution states that life began spontaneously. 900 letters of DNA are needed for a single protein. If at least 20 proteins are needed for life to began, then 18,000 DNA letters would be needed. However, DNA, the genetic blueprint of all living organisms do not form spontaneously. Scientists have observed that only 20 letters of DNA can from spontaneously. After 20 letters have formed together, the DNA breaks apart. Then how can 18,000 DNA letters from spontaneously? It is impossible! And, not only are 20 DNA letters insufficient for life to begin, they are also deformed. They connect themselves to the wrong corners of sugar molecules that make up the strands of the DNA backbone and result in a non-spiraled DNA. DNA spiraling is important because it compacts and protects DNA. If DNA cannot form the proper length and shape under natural conditions, how could life start spontaneously as a single organism?

    Fact 3: Proteins are necessary in life but do not form spontaneously. Typical proteins consist of hundreds of individual links of amino acids. Evolution scientists believe that life began in the ocean. But, if water prevents amino acid links from hooking together to form a protein how could life begin in the ocean spontaneously without proteins? Also, 20 proteins are needed for life to begin and if there are 300 amino acids in each of the protein chains, then 6,000 amino acids which have to be lined up in the correct order by chance! Even if a protein chain was only 100 amino acids long, billions of years would not be enough to form just one protein. A protein can't be formed by accident. Evolution scientists then advocated the theory that proteinoids, an unnatural congealing of amino acids that looks like a bunch of chain links welded together in a clump, came and acted like proteins before they were eventually converted to proteins. Other scientists, however, pointed out that a proteinoid has never been shown to convert into a protein, never possessed the ability to copy DNA, do not resemble proteins, and the dried and purified amino acids used to form proteinoids do not occur in nature.  

    These are a few of the many facts proving I'm no monkey's niece and that 'nothing made everything' is a scientific impossibility.
