The Big Mac Family

Tonight we all went back to McDonald's for more free Big Macs. Aonghas and Hamish had trouble accessing their vouchers, so they ended up just buying a 'Son of Mac', which is meant to be a smaller version of the Big Mac (sorta like how there's the BK Whopper and Whopper Jr).

We decided to make some comparisons!

Son of Mac vs Big Mac

Son of Mac + Chicken Cheese Burger (I think?) vs Big Mac

 And now there's even an Angus Mac!

A Big Mac Diet

Ever since Grace told me about how you can get free Big Macs from the Big Mac Chant promotion, I've been on that site voting 24/7 to get free Big Macs!

OK not really. I've only voted a couple times. You can get up to two free Big Mac vouchers a week until 100,000 have been given out nationwide. I've already had one after youth group last Friday night with Aonghas and Grace.

Today while shopping with my mum (mother and son bonding time), we decided to have some lunch - Big Macs!

I swear I'm going to get fat by the end of this promotion, but hey I'm not complaining! Thanks, McDonald's for the free feed!

Ready for Winter..Next Year

I think I've finally completed my winter wardrobe...for next year! The end of the season is always the best time to buy clothes since the shops are trying to get rid of all their stock.

To be honest, I've never really had a winter wardrobe. I'm more of a t-shirt and shorts kinda guy, but I've come under a bit of criticism for my lack of fashion sense.

Anyway, after pulling off green skinny jeans without embarrassing myself too much, I ended up buying some mustard coloured chino's, and was going to stop with black skinny jeans, but because they were half-price, I ended up getting some grey jeans too!

Now I've got a bit of a selection. I guess I'm going to have to wear jeans a bit more often now!

My brothers and I are doing a bit of filming this weekend as well, and so I've been spending the day with my mum looking for black shirts that we can wear as sort of a 'uniform'. Initially we were thinking black polo shirts with our logo embroidered on it, but then Aonghas suggested we wear dress shirts, just so that it would be more suitable for any weddings we film in the future. It's been a bit of a mission looking for suitable shirts! They're either too expensive, too cheap...

We were originally going to get the shirts embroidered at the mall by those people who embroider stuff, but my mum thought it was too expensive and reckoned she could do it herself. We'll have to find out!

Farewell Benson and Derek!

Today was a sad day, as Benson one of the church deacons who has been with us for many years, and Derek, one of the guys at church who always brings us laughs, were both to be farewelled. Benson is going back to Hong Kong to study to become a pastor, while Derek is going to Hong Kong to work.

During the service, Benson was invited to come up on stage and sing a song with the pastor which was really nice! A few words were said and a powerpoint show with photos of Benson and his family were played.

The Siloam Fellowship, the fellowship that Benson has been helping lead then got up on stage and sang a song for him. It was really moving, and I could see quite a few of them getting a bit teary-eyed!

We had Sunday School as usual, but for lunch we had a special combined potluck lunch. There was a variety of food that everyone had brought. We all got our food before it was time for Oddfellows to perform a little song we had been practising for him!

We all got up and I had to say a few words before we got Benson, his family and Derek up front to sing a hymn to them. We were all in our nice Oddfellows t-shirts too! Well...most of us anyway! We got those who didn't have one or forgot to wear it to just stick Oddfellows written on a piece of paper on their shirts! REPRESENT

Once we finished, we all rushed to them for a group hug, and unfortunately upset poor Eliza who started crying! At least she'll have something to remember us by!

Other people came up one at a time to say a few words about Benson. There was also a video of Sherman who is currently over in Australia, who had a few words to say as well!

We will miss you Benson and Derek!
