Your last dance, or your first ice-cream?

Just went crazy and ordered 8 tubs of ice-cream from The Last Polka. It's their 1st year anniversary and they're having a buy 1 tub of any flavour and get 1 tub of Horlicks ice-cream absolutely free. Why Horlicks? That's because it was the first flavour of ice-cream that they started out with long time ago and it was a hit! Since then they've experimented with all sorts of exciting new flavors including Teh Tarik.

Thanks Sarah for introducing me to this delicious ice-cream and all those calories haha. I wish they still had the mango flavor though. That was just heavenly!

I'm reminded

of His love for me this V-day..

I'm reminded that despite all the nonsense going on in our country and the accusations thrown around re Christianity and V-day.. My God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow..

I'm reminded that He loves me despite my shortcomings..

I'm reminded that eventhough at times when I may be unfaithful, He is faithful till the end..

I'm reminded that though my future may seem uncertain at times, I have a God who is certain..

I'm reminded that His grace and mercies are new every morning..

I'm reminded that I'm valuable, significant and secure in Christ...

I'm reminded that I'm loved!

Piano Lessons

Had my 1st piano lesson in a long long time yesterday.. When I was younger, I learnt piano up to the 4th grade however my syllabus was not so great in my opinion because at the end of four grades, I still didn't know how to play chords.. Can you believe it?

Then when I went on to learning guitar in my high school days, Vincent taught me the theory in a different way.. So one day I sat in front of the piano and decided to 'play' around with the theory that I learnt and voila.. a 'C' chord!

Of course my theory is rusty now as it's been so so long so yesterday LE came over to teach how to play 'church' piano.. I must say that the little background I did have really helped lots.. Hopefully in time to come, I'll be able to play a song or two beautifully..

You can be his friend too..

Was driving to work this morning to the tunes of Israel Houghton's 'I am a friend of God'...
Such an amazing fact to know that I, Michelle Melissa Foo can be called a friend of God.. It's surreal..

You can be his friend too..
If you would only let him..

First of many


It's been a long time since I went camping. I think the last I went was probably in primary school.. Unable to secure a chalet for our stay at Pangkor last weekend, we decided that we'll camp by the beach.. It was a last minute decision and all the hotels on the island were already booked up.. God blessed us with good weather.. There was not a single drop of rain while we were on our trip there, that was really remarkable since it was raining everywhere else.. I must say that we had the coolest looking tent on the bay..


Saw beautiful sunsets on all our 3 days there.. Each sunset was different.. All breathtaking in its own special way..
 Saw my first ever shooting star.. First of many more I hope..


We slept under the stars on the 2nd night.. The boys built us a fire that kept us warm throughout the night.. Had the dogs and bats sing us lullabies to sleep.. not forgetting the karaoke down the bay or the 'entertainment' from our neighbouring tents.. If you can't beat those karaoke peeps, you join em.. Just not at 2am in the morning though..

Only downside to the trip was that the waters were really murky, although I must say that where we camp, we had the cleanest waters.. The locals there were so laid back that they were so disinterested in selling or serving us our meals..

I'm glad though that our campsite had toilets and a shower area.. Not the best or cleanest but thankful that we did not have to dig a hole in the jungle somewhere lol..

Camping.. was not the first, definitely won't be the last..
