Clickin' my little red heels - Part 3

Well well! It's already Friday and we've had quite the misadventure already eh? Well, this post documents the happenings of that fateful day.

Friday was a special day because it was the first ever Pioneer Session (the one you have before a Circuit Assembly) for the Vietnamese only. We had the pioneers from the Sacramento congregation come down and it was quite a blast. I believe about 55 were in attendance. Not a bad turnout eh? :D

My dad is deciding whether or
not he should put on his glasses...

WHY?!

Cramming before an interview never worked girls!!!


"Paul, stop looking at us!!!"


Jeff: "They had better not MESS UP my interview with them."
Lisa/Lynna: ":c"


Random pictures of the Kingdom Hall



So they had a new sound system installed (think Mac)
but it didn't work (why am I not surprised?) so they went back to old school.
AWWW YEAH!


Looks like SOMEONE came prepared for the spiritual feast... heh heh


Do you know how hard it is to take good pictures
when you're stuck doing sound? Sigh.


Apparently our stand-in for Br. Mendenhall
has a Vietnamese wife too!


What's with these circuit overseers
and their yellow fever?!


What with these guys and their CO fever?!

After the very awesome session (I can't tell you the details, go to YER OWN Pioneer Session eh?!), my father and I took out Br./Sis. McCaslin out for lunch. It was a rather late lunch (does 2PM count as lunch?) and the restaurant is kind in the middle of nowhere so it was quite literally JUST US at the restaurant. Sometimes it's nice to get some personal time with a CO and I was able to get a LOT of questions answered. We were kind of "shoo-ed" out of the restaurant because some of the workers had to go to a funeral (and the restaurant closes at 3, reopens at 5:30) so we just left.

It turns out we couldn't get enough of each other so Sis. McCaslin and I started chit-chatting (more like girl-talk actually, haha) outside about my assignment and the adjustments I had to make while Br. McCaslin started talking to my dad. As it turns out, Br. McCaslin and my dad were only talking because they were waiting for Sis. McCaslin and I but we were only talking because we were waiting for Br. McCaslin and my dad! Wow, I think I understand elder's wives a bit more... Don't judge me!

Anyways, we had a little gathering at our home to prepare for so I went home and waited a couple of hours until it was time. Now my sister was home and didn't have any homework to do so we just hung out.

This is how we usually hang out...

Yes... her legs are on my back :c

You can't see it but I'm actually reading a book... -_-

Paul: "What am I? Just a pillow for you?"
Vivi: "Yes! Now quiet and be a good pillow!"
Paul: "Yes ma'am. :C"

Jeff/Thu and Josh/Jess came by for some pho but it was still some time until we ate so the boys occupied themselves...

We like Legos ^_^


Paul: "I want that piece!"
Josh: "GET YER OWN!"


Yeah, we were reaallllllyyyy bored...


My helicopter/car is attacking Jeff, pew pew!
Jeff: "OH NOESSSS"


Getting ready for the FEASTING.




My sister is drinking a pina colada... that's virgin.

Honest! 0:)

So many drinks. I gotta admit, my dad makes a wicked awesome pina colada.


My momma told me to stop playing with my food, but I just can't help it! ;D

It's kind of ugly I know, but I needed more hot sauce! :c

Ah yes, the drink(s) of kings!


For some reason we (my sister and I) were asked to draw a Kiwi and one thing led to another...

They asked for a penguin so I drew THE Penguin (for all you comic book fans)

Thu: "So the fruit was THIIIIIS big"
Jess: "OMGAWD IS THAT A FRUIT?!"


Gettin' ready to make Tiramisu...


David messing with my camera again... sigh!

Funny story. Thanh just got this new digital camcorder and has been taking videos nonstop so the whole time he was watching Jeff demonstrate on how to make tiramisu. What most people don't know is that you can't eat tiramisu right away but it has to be chilled in a refrigerator for at least a day. Imagine the poor guy, watching and drooling the whole time... only to be told that he can't have any! Har har I laugh at you! More tiramisu for meeeeeeeeee. :D

After dinner we all decided to hang out at Viet's place for some ping pong and not to mention Viet was begging me for lessons (on how to get a smackdown!) so I had no choice but to indulge the poor guy.

Needless to say, I gave him a very good lesson. ;)

Great room for ping pong


This is Timmy, the classiest guy I know.


Vu likes playing the piano while
Duy looks at pictures of young girls.
That guy. Haha

Me/Vu ended up playing the only
duet we know, "Heart and Soul"

Well, since there was a bunch of us at Viet's house (practically all the young ones) we decided to go mob at Quickly's and get $1 milk tea. Needless to say, it was rather impressive when 20+ kids just storm into a milk tea shop.

Lynna and her camera = inseparable


Anna turned out to be more
than Bobbi could bear HAH!


Boys and their toys...


Why does Lynna always give me the
strangest looks when I'm taking a candid shot? Darn!

So today was the day a little feud started between Moses and I. See, Moses was wearing a rather tight black shirt and since it was cold... you could see his nipples. Now I normally wouldn't care about that stuff but I was sitting down and he was just standing right next to me and those things nearly poked my eye out!

So anyways, to get some revenge, I looked at Moses and asked him, "Hey Moses, it's pretty cold ain't it?" and stared right at his... "indicators." Moses looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?" and then realized what I was looking at. His response?

"Frickin' Paul!"

Ah yes, that was the beginning of a feud alright of which I gave him much grief over for the next few days. >:] That night I got pretty much all the boys to come up to him and ask "It's pretty cold ain't it?" and stare in a downwards fashion. Each time was followed by a "Frickin' Paul!" Oh the good times...

"Frickim' Paul!"


Thanh: "Hey man, isn't it kind of cold?"
Moses: "Frickin' Paul!"

After Quickly's, we all headed to Tony's house for some video games and drinks. He just moved into a new apartment (not really, but new for me!) and it was really nice!

The "entertainment lounge"


Where all the joy is made ^__^

To all you single sisters,
Tony is a FANTASTIC cook *WINK*

Paul: "Hey Moses, it's pretty cold ain't it?" *STARE*
Moses: "Frickin' Paul!"


Boys and their toys... Part 2!


Tony and Timmy are fixing a controller but look at Duy's face!
Can anyone say... GAME ZOMBIE?! hahahahaha

Dude, seriously, at least close your mouth. Drool is coming out!

More zombies...
gaammeessss.... GAAAMMMEEESSSS...

In any case, it was getting late and we had circuit assembly the next day so I went home and prepared for the next day. It was going to be ONE busy weekend.





"Frickin' Paul!"
