My Easter Weekend





yupz... it's a late post.. but ya..haven't had time to update my post due to all "paper" craze. Too many papers due in a week. Anyway, I'm glad that it was my last HUGE paper for the semester! *praise JESUS*

Yaya.. easter weekend was way fun! Coz i went to jackie's grandparents' house in Enid, Ok. Nice little town. Everyone has BIG houses there (It seemed).. Yup, had Great dinner! the Thanksgiving type dinner with Ham, potato, green beans. rolls.. and of course.. bunny cake! It was a sugar-rush weekend! Coz we had bunny cake w braum's ice-cream n then we ate chocolates... :p

easter egg hunt was definitely the HIGHLIGHT. But with a bunch of college kids (Jackie, Taylor, Josh & me) it practically turned violent. The Biggest winner was actually the 3-yr-old cutie Abby. Well.. ya.. coz we weren't even serious in egg-hunting. we just wanna rob one another.. haha. And especially when we found out that there were money in the eggs.. haha... Taylor n jackie just basically lost it... they tossed the plastc eggs at one another, stepping on the candies and in the end just took up a ball and started playing dodge ball. It was scary... and abby just loved
being in the midst of them for she thought it was real fun to see her mommy chasing after her. :) we got so tired tt day n we slept.. zzz.

Grandma McCrate woke us up in the morning. n she asked "so girls, coffee, bacon and eggs or milk and cereal?" my reply was... "bacon n eggs please, grandma" Yeh! i felt so special. grandmas are just awesome. dun u think?

I experienced the dressy springy easter sunday service for the first
time. Gosh.. everyone was just dressy! haha. I tried to just
blend in. The meaning of easter was definitely not very well depicted
in the way i spent my weekend! haha...

Well, but i did not forget to give thanks to God for dying for our sin. He's alive. Praise Him. :)

My Birthday!





I had a wonderful birthday this year! I woke up in the morning smiling... and when i open my room door, i was greeted by a balloon and a bunch of other greetings on the hallway! Ann & Kristi wrote "happy birthday" for me in chinese and Grace & nancy also put up signs in Braxton and i'm pleasantly surprised! Well, this is just the beginning of my bday. When i went to class that morning, I was surprised by two boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts (2 dozen!!) yum... I was so touched coz Jeanette drove all the way to memorial to get em' that morning! :) thanks girl! And of course, my class sang me the bday song n i blushed.

Afternoon was great too! Coz patty gave me a bouquet of flowers!! besides that, Ms rivers handed me a card, a 3.5lB carrot cake and 2 tubs of ice-cream!! ahhhh.. screamz! she is so sweet to me and I am just overwhelmed by her love. :) I shared the ice-cream with the group that Ann & i led. We had a little "party" at the end of the group session, and they sang me bday song too! haha..

My bday ended with a climax at Pf Chang's w Ann, Jeanette & lynnette.. uhm... gosh! Chinese bistro. yum is the word. yeh is the feeling. Uh-huh is the taste. empty r the plates. haha... we had sweet & sour chicken, ma po tofu n curry vegetable.. *drool* & i receive my GAP giftcard from Ann & jeanette... :)

Ok, if u think that might be the end, hmm... NO!!!! coz this bday goes on and on... pretty much like birthdays, not just a day. The next day was great too! It began with shopping, er wait... not really coz it started with the not so "fun" run. Anyway, i did some Massive shopping! I was out the entire afternoon w jeanette, ann, donna & laura. Spent lots of money, got me a tank top, a cute top, a jacket & a shawl. I was so tired after that and i knocked out after coming back to my room. hmm.. then the party starts again at 5.30 when i met up with girls on my wing at Bourbon street cafe. It has nice life jazz music and good cajun food. We had fun eating & I got a harmonica as a bday gift! (from the musicians) yeh!!!

wow... gosh. That's my bday! I feel special & loved. Thanks everyone for making this a memorable bday... thank u for all ur ecards, testimonials, sms... everything!
