Final Post

2010 is here. Therefore, after much death and decay, I finally put my blog to rest. That's right. I'm officially closing my blog. 2009 has brought much experience and maturity. Thank You God for that! Now ends a chapter and a new one begins...

G.I. Joe

I've been sick for the past week. Thank God I'm well enough now. Still coughing.

Anyways, a flash of the few weeks passed.

Steven won Oldie King!!

BBQ night was so so. I had to help out with the BBQ again this year considering almost no one in college knows how to BBQ. That's about it.

Now on to worthy stuff, I WATCHED G.I. JOE TODAY!!!

It was just awesome. Aside from the super high tech weaponry, the story was good, progression was good, character development was excellent. I just don't get one part: A super genius scientist in Somalia during a war. What in the world was he doing there?!? I'd give it 8 out of 10. Just too much high tech stuff for me. I should get me one of those accelerate suits.

Meet Snake Eyes. He's cool.

Nothing much to update about nowadays. Til next time. God Bless!

What a RUSH!

This weekend has been a BLAST! Starting off with Friday, 0807 was owning the field with wins from Captainball to a dramatic Football match to a grand Basketball finale. What a rush of adrenaline! Anyways, we continued to dominate football and eventually won every match. It's disappointing to find quite a number of cohorts without a football team. Walkovers are convenient but not fun.

To even bigger news, Manchester United is in town!!! Even though I got lazy to get the ticket, watching the game at home was equally awesome! Felt the atmosphere all the way at home. ManU was playing to entertain the crowd but Malaysia played like never before. Amri Yahyah scored 2 against MU but all eyes were on Michael Owen.

Instant favourite after his debut goal.

Man Utd is replaying Malaysia tomorrow. But enough about MU, check this out:

Get it?

That's all for the week. Looking forward to more events to come. God Bless!

Believe

I got this song stuck in my head. It was during As You Are, Calvary Youth Concert 2006 when I first heard it and it can't stop speaking volumes to me. The lyrics are truly meaningful and I kinda missed those days in Calvary Youth.

It sounds like this...

I say on Sunday how much I want revival

But then on Monday, I can't even find my Bible

Where's the power

The power of the Cross in my life

I'm sick of playing the game of religion

I'm tired of losing my reason for living

Where's the power

The power of the Cross in my life

I'm not content just to walk through my life

Giving in to the lies

Walking in compromises now

We cry out as a generation that was lost

But now is found in the power of the Cross

We believe in You

We believe in the power of Your Word and its true

We believe in You

So we lay down our cause

That our cross might be found in You

I'm not satisfied doing it my own way

I'm not satisfied to do church and walk away

I'm not satisfied, there's no love in my life but You

I'm not satisfied living in yesterday's hour

I'm not satisfied to have the form but no the power

I'm not satisfied, Oh Lord I am crucified in You

And oh, MU humiliated Arsenal so bad at the Emirates. Spectacular game since 8th minute and the rest is history..on to Rome!

God Bless!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

A picture speaks a thousand words...the title too.

Yup! That's right. I just came back from watching X-Men Origins. AWESOME movie! Don't wanna spoil anything for anyone so I'll just keep quiet.

Another AWESOME thing happen today. Man United beat Arsenal 1 - 0. I stayed up all night and it paid off. Although Man U dominated the game, it was still exhilarating with much ebb and flow. John O'Shea sealed the game but they could have scored more goals.

Tomorrow is the 1st of May already. Can't wait for Transformers, Terminator: Salvation, Star Trek, Angels and Demons...

That's about it for today. God Bless!

Comeback!

My blog's been dead for over a month now. I guess I just got tired and probably ran out of stuff to blog about. I'm thoroughly surprised that people are still visiting my blog and adding me onto their blogroll. I've given thought to remaking my blog but so far my creativity has failed me. Probably due to the crammed and jammed up semester. Well, enough about stressful college life and deadness. Let's move on to LIFE!

Alright! On Sunday, I tried something new. I was sorta invited to the ACTS Church the night before and agreed to tag along. So a few of us got to PBD and they actually sent a van to pick us up from there. We were kinda lost at first but soon we found the place. I mean why would a church be in a shopping mall like Summit? Actually it's in the Summit Hotel. But anyways, we were blur and then people just started welcoming us. And they had a welcoming table, which was never thought of and a really great idea. There was worship and then announcements on ACTSTV and then welcoming. Whoa! The welcoming was just awesome. Something we've been trying to do in Calvary Youth for a long time just erupted naturally within them. Ps Andy was preaching that day and he gave his sermon based on Lazarus. This real life account I guess just applies to me in such an explosive magnitude.

Similarly to my blog here, Lazarus had been dead for 4 days and was brought back to life, but for my blog's case, it has been 6 weeks. And God just reminded me of last year's CY camp scripture, which says:

"Wake up, O sleeper,

rise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you."

~Ephesians 5:14

Jesus said, "Wake up Lazarus", and he came out of the tomb. The other thing that hit me was last year's camp theme which God tweaked a little for me. "This Is Now" or never. Something to ponder about there. Hope you've been blessed by this little message. Now for something I caught on the way.

Durians I've seen before, but mangosteens too?

God Bless!

Filler

It's been a long time since I've updated my blog..a whole month now. I have to admit I'm getting lazy and my blog's dying, the hits are dropping and such. Anyways, I'm not going into long posts to cover up, just something short to fill in the massive gap. Oh well..let's begin with this week. I guess I can call it one of the worst weeks of my life, I don't think anything I've survived so far has actually lasted for a week but I'm fine now. Everyday it seems everything went wrong. This past week I even intentionally skipped class, which is quite bad already given my excuse was more sleep time. Football was so bleak this week that I don't bother thinking about it. Futsal was different though. Enough said about a horrendous week. Moving on with the next. Expecting a great week to come! God Bless!

February the 14th

Yesterday, during CF, I got a flower, a rose to be more precise, from an anonymous person. I gotta say it was a nice, warm feeling but also quite a scary one. I mean what if a guy sent it to me or maybe it was just a prank but still thank you to my anonymous friend out there who gave it to me. Furthermore, it was through a middleman or rather a middlewoman, thus tracking back doesn't work. It was my first time though and I gotta say I'm quite impressed. So you can come out from your hiding now.

For today, Sister Pam gave us all a special Valentine's Day present.

+
ll

Happy Valentine's Day

Best thing to do on Valentine's without a date is to SLEEP!

As you all notice, I'm not blogging much at all. So I'll just cut to the chase. I won't be blogging very often anymore. But you'll find an occasional post now and then. God Bless!

State Of Mind

Dear Blog,

It has been a long time since I last cleaned the dust off your front page. I'm really sorry. I barely come online, what more to write up a flowery post and paste pretty pictures. College has been stealing time. For good reasons I know but way too much I agree. It's going to be a busy semester this time around. Duties to the lecturers, stewardship over my post in the CF committee and responsibilities to the Student Council are keeping up. Easter in April brings two huge projects, in which preparation has already begun. Three nights in the Putra Stadium demands no mistakes and Easter in Methodist College is like none other, bigger and better. Worries of student council nomination just got knocked up a notch, at least I've been set not to take any posts. Something I have a feet on both sides of the fence. These has been boggling my mind these days. The more stuff I see happening, the more I see God's plan unfold. This year is gonna be greater for the glory of God.

Ketchup!

College is back on full swing. I can't say that I'm all out for it. The 1st few days of this 2nd sem feels what it feels like..going to college all over again. I thought we had a 2 week break after the exams but they just had to start the classes. Waking up at 6 almost every morning just isn't my thing. Oh well..nothing I can do about it until hopefully Ms Lim changes the timetable in March. Now we have Mr Yee to teach us Chemistry. Given our past lecturer, Mr Yee is doing a fantastic job. On to more less depressing ice cream filled cherry topped chocolate chip sprinkled matters, the 2008 AIM batch went out for Swensen's. It was Andrew's birthday not so long ago and we got together to have sugar mixed with butterfat and flavouring all held together by a lack of heat. 2 giant earthquakes came quaking our way with all 16 flavours. Pics are with Hansel. That's about it for now. Big year with big events and big roles just up ahead. God Bless!

And oh..before I forget, Happy Birthday to Samantha Ong, Irvin Loh and Caroline Leong. 2 of whom turn legal this year. Lazy to post pictures. Have a blast guys!

Back!

Ah..the first post of 2009. I've been away for quite awhile. I'm sorry I didn't post it up but exams have been a pain for the past 2 weeks. But it is all gone now. Hahaha. Exams are finally over! Will be catching up with the year and wrapping up 2008 soon. It's good to be back.

Christmas Delights

My aunt was back again for the Christmas season and as usual dinner was special. Aside from the Christmas gifts, the food were really awesome.

My sister made this..

Try this on for size

Have a look at this..Japanese bread

Whats dinner without a glass of wine? Different each time.

That's but just a slice of my Christmas. Thank all you guys out there who got me a gift. Really appreciate it. God Bless!

This Is Now!

There have been people that already posted about camp and there are others who haven't. I've been pretty lazy lately so I guess I won't type so much. I won't be posting a typical camp post because this camp was everything but typical.

God already started working even before camp began, looking at the simple things like camp registration. I was helping out so I knew the numbers that were coming in every week and it wasn't much. On the con "last week" for registration, there were 100 youths who signed up and it tallied to about 160. A lot of us were doubting we could reach our target goal of 250 campers but you know what? On the very last week, Jan was the 250th youth to sign up and that itself was a miracle, even before camp began. Later on, everyone found out there was a total of 260 campers. Really praise God for that.

Moving on to camp..this was the first time I actually prayed for camp and I already told God what I wanted Him to do in camp. I went to camp expecting and God didn't fail me. In a way, this is my camp testimony, not straying away from my blog purpose. I told God that I wanted to see from a new perspective. I've attended 3 youth camps as a camper, it's fun and all but I wanted something different, different from the normal youth service that I see every Saturday and different from the usual youth camp sessions. This youth camp I got the opportunity to facilitate the game and be bus leader...again. Being bus leader wasn't so bad. I had the master bus list and I knew the roomings before everyone else. Muahahaha...

That aside, we played the game of Life in camp. It's the real version of the board game. I'm not allowed to discuss the game but it does exist in a real life version with a powerful truth behind it. Turned out everything planned for the game was all finished by some teams on the 1st day of games. So the whole lot of us got together to plan for the next day. For the first time in my life, I saw what our youth was made off, our foundation. After most of the people left, a number of us stayed back to pray. Mind you it was already past midnight and camps were not all free and relax. This was what I prayed for and God really answered it. We prayed liked never before until 2.30 in the morning. No words can express the experience. I think only God and Holy Spirit can fit.

The rest were in the hands of God and it turned out well. I was the camp speaker's host too and I don't think I did very well. Haha. Pastor Jeremy got his message through and it's also a privilege to be an altar worker, another new perspective. Camp definitely brought new friends and we got to play football on the beach. A lot of younger ones came for camp and literally can see the new generation taking over. Well, there is much to say about camp but I just don't know what. Now, let's see if I can "borrow" some pictures from other people...

0

I'm really glad that break is here but as you can see, I'm too lazy to blog anything, upload pictures and the like. All in all, I would say the break till now is just...

Like I said on top, hols are just empty, oblivious, blank, void, vacant, hollow and any other word that fills the hole. Words that fill emptiness. Hmm..never thought of that. Efforts to recruit friends to get out and do something have all but failed miserably. Would someone cared enough to take me out? I'm not expecting much.

What's left is Youth Camp on Monday. Which reminds me, I'll be off in the next few days...

Whee!

Holidays are here. A whole month of comforting yet dreadfully doing nothing experience. Anyways, a few things have came up from the nothingness.

CF Farewell and Reunion BBQ went on well. And I can testify that my God is great because it rained and it poured heavily but it stopped right before the event started. Turned out lots of people came and lots more of BBQing to do. The video was done well and everyone was happy with the food, I guess. So depressing that my finely built fire, powered by torrents of wind from the rain, went on without a picture. I was so proud of it but I have nothing to showoff. *pretends to wipe off tear from eye*. Then I slept at 4.30am and woke up at 7.30am. Something I haven't done since the 1st day of last year's GY Camp.

Moving on, I had an extremely good impression of McDonald's. I value quality in stuff and in people too. Today, that great impression has been shaken to its foundations. I ordered and paid the bill. It was RM13.55. I paid RM14.00. The cashier handed to me 35 cents. That was number one. Bad mistake. Wrong change is not good for image. Well, that was just a small error. Anyone could have missed it out so I forgave. The next one was just despicable. I ate everything on the tray except for my burger. I didn't even take a look at my burger, a deluxy Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. I went over to the counter to get a refill and come back looking at an empty table. They were just looking for trouble. Come on, my bag was on the seat, like isn't it obvious enough the customer has not left yet?!? The thought of sueing surged through my mind, recalling the lady who spilled hot water in her car and won the lawsuit against McDonald's. So I demanded to see the supervisor, not really but it sounds cool, she kindly acknowledged and sent over a new, hot Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. It mended the reputation but it didn't restore it to it's former glory. I still like the free refills.

Then there's this random rant I found in the bible as I was looking through Song of Songs,

All beautiful you are, my darling; There is no flaw in you. -Song of Songs 4:7

Referring to whom or what? I myself don't know...

2nd Last Day Of 1st Semester

Sigh...tomorrow's the last day of college already. I'm not ready to give up the friends and company for a whole month yet but doing pass year papers everyday and every class is just unforgiving.

Latest news in college: "The student lounge is infested with fleas."

Students here and there have been seen with itchy red spots on their legs, some even got it on their bellies. I have no idea how it got there but it came to a theory that there were fleas in the college. Although so far I don't think anyone has actually seen the fleas, the evidence is rather compelling and yesterday the college underwent fumigation. It still stank this morning. Thankfully I didn't get any flea bites even though Ms Angeline says I'm always in the student lounge. I've suffered worse from the venom of sandflies. Be grateful these are only fleas.

Today, for once, the chain of boring classes has been broken. I fell to the last minute conscription of Min Htut and his team of July football players. They were low on players so I was approached and reluctantly joined. Turns out it wasn't bad at all. Get to skip classes and play football. It was an unintentional ditching I assure you. They lied to me about the duration the game! So 8 people crammed in Anthony's car and we went to SKBD. The juniors were playing the seniors as a friendly farewell but it was changed to July vs January.

To cut the long story short, both teams drew 4-4.

On the other side of the rope, it's Alithea's birthday today! Although I already wished you, I'll just wish you again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALITHEA!

Looking forward to more pyromantics on the grill and last CF sleepover for the year...God Bless!

Of Time...

Time indeed flies by so quickly. The end of the year is almost in sight. Just few more weeks and a new year dawns.

more week of college left!

weeks till Youth Camp!




weeks away from Christmas!




weeks herald the coming of new things!

In the meantime, I can only wait till these things happen. So, would anyone like to take me out for a movie? Futsal maybe? Pool sounds good. Lunch ain't that bad an idea. Shopping also can? Even Kinabalu again will do?

Saman!

I've been rather away from my blog this couple of days. Perhaps it's because the week has been dull or maybe this is just the time when all blogs are tested. To struggle to live on or just left to die. Anyways, a few things have popped up in this dry season. For one, I got booked, or in Malaysian terms, I got a saman. Well, I got booked but I didn't at the same time. Guess what I found when I googled my name, check this out:

Woo..scary

Then there was our usual CF meeting in college. And I was worship leading. I wouldn't say it went exactly as I planned, with bad pitching all over the place, but still I thank God because He took what little I had and made it into great worship for His glory. Speaking about CF, MCKL CF is having a bbq farewell for 0707s, AUSMATs and as well as camp reunion. All are invited. MCKL students only. Please come and join us if you are one, RM5 at 6.30pm in college on 28th November. Closing date for payment is 21st November to me or CJ. There are nice posters all around college and I should have taken a picture of it.

Then there was dancing that everyone has to do for OB night next year, which I totally detest and can never bear myself to do. I wonder what will happen to our 0901 juniors...

Then there was today...

Recently, I've been pondering about the song "Run" from Hillsong's latest album, "This Is Our God." I really like it and it really means a lot. And I was thinking, Darren Here's voice really fits. How I hope he would introduce the song some time soon. Soon enough, he did it today and it was great.

You were God from the outset
Powerful and creative
You who saw us here before you called
All the stars and the earth to existence

You are God you are Holy
History is your story
You, who was and is
And who forever will be
God we live for your Glory

So we will run
All together our hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God all Glory to your name
Jesus

You are God you are freedom
You're alive now within us
You who saw us here before
You conquered the grave
And delivered on the promise

So we will run
All together our hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God all Glory to your name
Jesus

We will run
Our surrender to bring you fame
Our desire that you be praised
Our God all Glory to your name
Jesus

Time for another week to begin. The end of college looms near. Just 2 more weeks and my first semester of college is done for. Calvary Youth Camp is coming soon too. 1 more month! Remember, registrations closes at the end of this month! God Bless!
