Apollos Graduation and Deacon Installation Today!
Our next Apollos class will be for the women of the church and will be next October. Meanwhile, we are beginning work on an "Advanced Apollos Class".
We also installed 6 new Deacons (only 4 of which were able to join us) today. As the Deacons assume a more prominent roles in the ministry of the church, it is inspiring to watch them grow in their knowledge of the Word as well. All of the new Deacons were also Apollos graduates.
We had a reception/luncheon afterward, down in Fellowship Hall.

ANOTHER BROADBAND'S BOOSTER STORY
What a day I’ve gone through today. No. I’m not talking about bad omen or what but hell yeah, it’s very hot today. Could feel myself melted slowly on the couch and doze off. I didn’t want to join Gabby surfing the net as usual in the mini office and enjoyingt the air-cond. I would rather watched the TV and caressed my cat, Bujang. Woke up at
Yummy. I want you, can anot?
My prediction didn’t go wrong. The moment we arrived at Hijau, the place was flocked with cars. A good sign. A good sign, I told myself. Mork, Ray and Max came tonight. So did Kevin, altogether with his wife, Sandera and little Marcella Jane.
We only went home after midnite. Gabby woke up and thought that we were going out again. Haha. She might have heard us opening the door and storing the business stuff. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Going to do some marketing, not selling things but buying some things to cook for dinner. Oh, tomorrow will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. People, I’ve been married for 10 smooth years. Thanks to Lord Jesus for this. Will blog about it another day. Cooking is something that I rarely do lately besides cooking the burgers patties. Can it be considered cooking? Yes for the customers but no for the family. Hehe.

CERITA KEDAI KOPI (Coffee Shop Gossips)
It has been 2 months since we're selling burgers at Hijau. What is a good thing about Hijau is that, it reminds me of PV, Damai. OK. 90's clubbers, still remember Pee Vee @ PV? OMG, that's the coolest place/club after Jupiter back during my college years. Damn happening. Piccadilly? Barzing?? Narrfff.. there are nothing compared to those clubs in the 90's. Still remember Hilton's Peppers? Gosh, those were the dayz. The best place to sip beers in the greenery lush rainforest kind of ambience. PV somehow resembles Hijau. Only without live band. Can have beers some more, holla!

- Big, succulent, juicy. We use full cheese, unlike other stalls that would cut the cheese into two pieces.
Back to the burger selling stories. Initially, I felt so exhausted that I was unable to wake up the next morning, my body would cry in ache and pain all over the next morning. Eventually, my body had somehow compromised with the biological clock and stuff. I am loving it now. No matter how stress I am, being pulled and pushed in the office, selling burgers actually is giving me some kind of therapy, tension releasing which I love so much.
While cooking the meat patty, I sometimes overhear some interesting topics, to be precise - people gossiping! Haha. There's one time, a group of boys were condemning this particular local indie band which happens to be our friend. I just smiled at my husband and my band members.
There is this big guy who always talks big - YALAH. HIS FATHER OWNS ONE OF LEADING CAR SELLING COMPANY OR WHATEVER LAH KAN.. Out of 100%, 99.9% of his words would say dirty cursing words like 'puss*, fu*ck, sh*t'. Hahaha! Iban guy some more but never speaks any single Iban's word. How do that I know that he's Iban? Kantoi maaaa... maybe his dad called him so I overheard something like that he would go home a bit late.
There's a boy also who loves to disturb us - his mom is selling there but I don't want to reveal his name. He loves to bite his fingernails, which is so disturbing to see. Whenever he bites his nails he will spit like 'pooff!' and the reason why I hate it, he has epilepsy. You know his saliva, sorry I don't mean to be rude, so everytime I see him biting his nails I will scream at him like this, "Yieewww!! Don't bite your nails. So dirty!" He would run away from me after that.
Ok. Our most supporting customers are this group of 4-Wheelers. They can stand to drink beers and play Poker until 3 a.m. Normally this group will get us to close earlier with sweet collections you know what I mean right? They will eat and play Poker all night long.
I'm glad that I am not shame with what I'm doing and some more, I have a special table next to our stall which is always full with friends and family members, almost every night. Thanks guys. OK.
Lastly, please follow us at Facebook. We have now amazingly collected 162 fans. Wow!

Tie Thoughts

Some famous politicians prefer to go with a half windsor knot. However, that knot is traditionally regarded as less preferred (is that polite enough?).
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifGzoEoEPII3euQfetDdofkr5iUSWThEDNLC0eLpFDtOrJ2ojgRD9llwlX7u4Q4GZWDwBAXaraJ3aPYQVx_hRfY9FotdmXTAwZ_bIeMONImYovHd9YvkP2PoaPra__tKPiH0v941yJC90/s400/A+Tie+%232.bmp)
When you see a full windsor knot next to a half windsor, the difference is striking.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzxDzgB9M4InkDRS4enFYBFzF80F40NYAOmvZXgqvyvKVJSJhRnf0FCln_5m39dl84AsoE-5MoF03ySK6x6Q-4-8n_LMPEu3T68rFd1ktFq8f5zPrkYwNsJa-0SfriDZFIiQNDeNEfcK8/s400/A+Tie+%235.jpg)
President Reagan was one of the best dressed Presidents in history.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFyXm3AMhpqLU6ii4bdS4TknwPejZJJD-B2biOQCOMtU4USVpVj02HvajEKvRTkMD6sJPvvuxJUbk34lGPmn7nG7912SScx5FybcAorO57SS-ZUIhnUa27FCTEbw3B8KHV8F8lp-Kodjs/s400/A+Tie+%238.jpg)
Here he is with his Vice President, George Bush.

Johnny Carson always tied his tie in a full windsor knot.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEQQ_cmLYW8tCZlrnqqDJT7TjqplIa5Rxdzw4hmKOXdHbGhPiMW1gGLNVORzsg__niU9ls372RlMqA0rYiK9FpfzWgQyQiOvaKib9xscu28JVYWmufWiG8YO8fNcDejt2qjIKVFoQ_leI/s400/A+Tie+%2310.jpg)
So did his well dressed side kick, Ed McMahon.

David Letterman always wears a full windsor knotted tie.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLyxdZGXocv9HxNT2-bKZeTmFrqa_uLQ6jW-LHb6a2afzKAoP4JTpHw8wJxJMXce_xrMbkvRaaELpND_w7MlalfMHNhiAdJk5zBmKXukTpi37QRngsfmpMzgtW3yUml9jP3vbn6sWGkk/s400/A+Tie+%236.jpg)
He even looks good on a motorcycle.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjezY0JOsbRCVO_WMD_3T2YnsZcfDL0y_DvYfDtSHgFCvSerHd0pvFRBkZ5y0wpK4x0YuBL9yiQMW8clVTA8BJHQ6uJ9X0G0TQIKcS4NVpzHbdBhQsT6Tk0dTeK60NYr8jw5l2fvc_txsc/s400/A+Tie+%237.jpg)
Some people will tell you it depends on the shirt collar as to which knot you should tie your tie in. Don't believe them. A full windsor knot is the ONLY knot to use for a tie.
And while we're at all, don't ever put anything like a tie tack or a chain across your tie. That looks, uh, tacky.
If you are a man reading this and you don't know how to tie a full windsor knot, learn. If you are a woman and your husband or son is running around with a half windsor tie, talk to him. He won't listen but that's another story!
Thanks for stopping by.

TIPS: TRENDY WAY IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO WASH YOUR FACE!
Monday, February 22, 2010
I WAS SO STUPID - AN ATHLETE FOOT STORY!
Then, masa lari tu kan, I was a bit exhausted because I skipped my breakfast. I came 2nd or 3rd like that. Terus lah I menyumpah seranah, "bab* punya powder! Ingatkan dapat membantu atlit tapi menyusahkan! "
Memang pun untuk Athlete's Foot tapi bukan kaki seorang atlit, tapi ini! (Lihat gambar di bawah)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87zXTemBnjAl3J-kXHnj-3sNQcKiBvCmNcj4gGI642YnEh04aWc-ghn1G10BECGmO42rbxf1VB6hnrbje3nJTb6RHRHr195kUUsd6yfoXygjM-Jb7Mm6G2kFg3ae71FjpBev9w_9Uc4eD/s400/Athletes_Foot.jpg)
Athlete's foot (also known as ringworm of the foot[1] and tinea pedis[1]) is a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling, flaking, and itch of affected areas. It is typically transmitted in moist areas where people walk barefoot, such as showers or bathhouses. Although the condition typically affects the feet, it can spread to other areas of the body, including the groin. Athlete's foot can be prevented by good hygiene, and is treated by a number of pharmaceutical and other treatments.
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *maafkanlah kebodohan ku. Come on, I was only 9-10 that time!*
Matilah tuduh bapak sendiri gila, haahaha ampun pak. It happened that Sentosa Hospital was the only nearby hospital and my dad, who was still serving in Army - his camp was only located opposite the hospital. Should there be any medical problem occurred they will quickly go to that hospital. Poor my dad. Haha.

Prairie School Architecture
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CP2JgA8zJvK50U_mi30vlD3P-ax1IYJXaa9w7KQrD4SQVb69c0F6XW_mkmDNpvQR_p74PK3UJ7KhFENs8jMcGXnm4E1KnVpE2WMgiQWQvYwoArBgLFJPZjYwj9hloNj-v7yeDFMrG7g/s400/A+Bank+%2310.jpg)
I don't know much about architecture. I am just one of those "I know what I like when I see it" people. This design style is characterized by large windows and often uses flat roofs and overhangs.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjHYvaPULnufvtP2JIhc5p9A_69orIVhEOPdy8lqS-M_hEfeyyf75Ddp18TMISqzHlStcePK6mpnMCxfhl-ujoKWA_J9vD3lErVJvE8RLXYVrApZFQrhlT2Fkki1IySsow87_yH2JFPPw/s400/A+Bank+%239.jpg)
From what I understand, the idea is to create large, open living spaces. Thus the big windows and minimal use of walls.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-_KCfa51jqh4u5jk-dkrUUg1NbE1r9DJWDQ0_zTlJEYYDhcJl4TmI439JtNNh9ZKJA85c-gKsC0xxXCbz1LuW0wTYy6d41T4RNp9D_wB69xAkBIopdyoqHnPSp0VmCaI3Zg26b1pBLgg/s400/A+Bank+%238.jpg)
I've always liked big windows. The idea of being able to sit inside yet feel like you are part of the outdoors is appealing to me.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-FggoIThRKY25WHOra3MKxWQy0T24oAj70DnjCn2i-3-T_2avUzw-2ED2IVdqksXVPwjMxWrNQXKyjIbndH8mayuvlK9l1RwU_8VGmEucfBaSSVWUU_dvkKM2nkjchJ7gSrhlehmisw/s400/A+Bank+%237.jpg)
Often I image such design in black and white. I'm not sure why. But I do.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOx06VRlv-3OR-jZle73st4D9QQUfhqMNb5EGBm-vxFHQcme8WwJCCQGpRJrDE3zmleYCvyF0xgB2SXknJdZ5jqwHx45fuU2MvbT3cMHs5q2Cc-8skW7GnlsVbH-CzWL9_2YYJ8PO8Xww/s400/A+Bank+%234.jpg)
This is a famous house in Pennsylvania known as Fallingwater. It was built in 1936 and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSG_noZZ0sodlJ2rXX89VmOIakOnYLjdJvr0cC1O07hIERGrO08wE65no_IIbZUkJvvi38qNiidGh9ZvcRx9sd_66VS5QM2HeZsfxCUmTGusOfmvySeKMi4u7wakBJk9waEYFL6l0ajkE/s400/A+Bank+%233.jpg)
I have lived on the prairie all my life. Some people find beauty in mountains. Others in the ocean. But for me I love the prairie and its openness. And I like this style of architecture a lot.
Thanks for stopping by.

2010'S VALENTINE AND OTHER 10TH IMPORTANT EVENTS
- Our 10th Valentine's Day together...
- Our girl is going to be 10 this year ...
- Our 10th wedding anniversary will be at the end of this month
- I've been working at this place for 10 years!!
Winter Woes
We too have had difficult decisions to make about whether or not the library will be open. The general policy of the library is that if all the schools are closed in Somerset County the library will also close. However, because the roads are often passable in town we try our best to be open. Any change to the library schedule will be posted on WJAC. The safety of the library staff is our highest priority. I apologize to anyone who has made the effort to come to the library only to find it closed. It is difficult to predict what the weather will do and sometimes I have made the decision to close early in the morning only to find out the predicted conditions do not develop. Gotta love nature!!
Apologies to anyone who baked and prepared for Death by Chocolate and found out it was postponed. Because of the weather and a lack parking options due to piles of snow, the Friends of the Library felt it necessary to postpone the event. The effort was made to get the word of the postponement out to the community but we understand that not everyone received the message. We are so sorry for this inconvenience. The Friends plan to reschedule Death By Chocolate in April after the Maple Festival. We hope all chocolate lovers will be willing to participate at that time. The funds raised by Death By Chocolate go a long way in supporting library programs at a time when funding has become tenuous. We so appreciate the support the Meyersdale Public Library receives from this community.

Despuespan de días de ausencia que mas que nada han sido por flojera para postear le vengo a dar a conocer el nuevo proyecto de Veland. ¿Quien es Morten Veland? Pues simplemente es uno de los parteaguas en el Gothic Rock que a mi tanto me gusta, ha sido fundador de dos de las mejores bandas que he tenido la oportunidad de escuchar: Tristania y Sirenia. Esta nueva "banda de un solo hombre" (ya que el ha hecho todo) se escucha muy muy bien. Si acaso lo único que para mi gusto le falto, es la voz de alguna mujer que complementara las voces "duras" de Morten, pero eso no le quita nada. Solo habrá que esperar a que salga este buen material. Y para muestra:

Right here in Jefferson County, we have an inmate rose garden that is accredited through the All American Rose Selection! While it's not vegetables, it is something to be proud of. It is the only public rose garden in the United States to be planted at a jail and maintained by inmates. Gardening redeems us.

CNY NEW YEAR'S EVE
"The biggest event of any Chinese New Year's Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Year's Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West." - Wikipedia
