Activites! Assignments!

Well as I start a new semester, I knew that this semester is going to be very tiring for me. I'm so busy with activities and assignments. I really thank God for always seeing me through. This semester I've been joining too many activities I think. I'm so stressed at times but I thank God for giving me friends. So far we started our MMK practices (Malam Muzikal Krismas) and is already making me tense. I'm incharge of the performances and getting people to join is not easy. With just 3 weeks to practice and lack of man power, all I could do was pray and leave it all to God. God is truly great!!! Now MMK is just one week away and everything seems to be going on fine although there are a few setbacks but I know that God is in control. Besides the MMK, I also to be incharge of a Pangkor trip, two college dinners and a mega college activity. I was so tied up that I barely have enough rest. To add to my busy schedule, I also have tutorials, labs and a report to do. Wow!!! I really do need God's help and guidance. But luckily, He is always there. I finally resigned fomr one of the activities for I know I couldn't take it anymore. Too much pressure. I do hope that everything else will move on fine. I must remember that the main important thing was to always seek God in everything that I do.

Christmas & Watch Nite Service

Whew after all the camps, my last week of holidays was to enjoy Christmas. To me Christmas is more than just presents and Christmas tree. It was the time of sharing and giving. Every year for Christmas service I'm surely to be involved in some presentations. This year was finally the year whereby I could rest. I get to see the younger youths doing the presentation. Looking at them made me know that I should let go for they are really maturing in the Lord. Anyway, Christmas was the time whereby I could meet my friends who are at outstation. We all had a great time catching up with everybody. On 31st December, our church had a watch nite service whereby we would pray for one another, pray for the church as well as our country. Then we would do something like a time capsule but for a year. Meaning that we write something that we pray that will come to past in the year 2009. By the end of 2009 we would take it out and see what God had done for us. Last year(2007) we also did the same thing. I totally forgot what I wrote and when I read back, I realised how God was so faithful to me in the year 2008. He had answered 8 out of my 10 prayers. I really thank God. Anyway 2009 is a new year and I know that God will continue to pour out His blessings upon me and the people around me.

Youth Camp 2008

The next agenda during my holidays was my church youth camp. In total this was my third camp during my semester break. Looks like I'm not in a break. Haha... This year the youth camp was help in Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Our theme was 'Equipped and Empowered'. The speaker was truly anointed. The camp was a good rest for me I guess. It was fun being around with my Ipoh friends. The best thing was that we had a campfire. My very first campfire and I helped starting the fire. Haha... real 'big' though (or at least to me it was cause of the materials that we could find). The camp refreshed me physically and spiritually. Got to know more about the Holy Spirit and the power that comes with it. I do miss all my previous camps though. Hopefully I could join this year's camp.

National Lasallian Leader's Convention 2009

It's been a long time since I've blogged. Well so let's continue with my activities that I was involved in during my December holidays. After my orang asli camp I attended the 18th National Lasallian Leader's Convention 2009 back in Ipoh. This is my second time being the organizing team for this convention. This year I felt that it was a bit different. It was free and very positive feeling. Not sure why. I guess is the group. Less tension in the air. Haha... anyway this year the theme for our convention is 'Break Walls. Build Bridges'. It means that we have to break our own personal walls that are hindering us from reaching out to build bridges with one another and with the society. Actually, convention is held every year and is actually a camp for the leaders of our Lasallian schools in Malaysia and Singapore. It's a great place to meet new faces and learn new experience. Eventhough I was the organizing team, I also had learnt a lot of things about myself. The main thing that I've learnt was to appreciate life and live life to the fullest. It seems to me that this holiday I've been learning this a lot. First from MOA, now from convention. Hmm... I guess is sign. Haha... So people do remember to never judge people and build a wall around you. Learn to let go of the past and start looking forward to the future. Continue to break walls and build bridges.

Misi Orang Asli

Well I'm glad to have this opportunity to attend this trip. This mission trip was organized by PERKEB (my uni CF). It was really a great eye-opener and an adventerous experience. The number of volunteers was so great that we had to split into 2 teams. Each team about 10 to 11 people entering only to one kampung. The kampung which I had a chance to go was Kampung Sungai Bil. It was quite a typical village. Quite modern in fact. They have astro and some do have cars but those are the villagers who are richer. However, the people there are still living a simple life. We spent in that village for a week. Praying with and for them, doing some community work, sharing the gospel with them and also playing with the kids. We stayed, cooked and bathed at the church. The church there was our home. We took turns to cook and boy was it fun. We tried many new dishes or at least I forced them into trying. Haha... Frying apple and potatoes with egg is very delicious. Not only that, I got to try cooking wild boar meat which the villagers hunted for us. It was real tasty. Hehe... My most memorable experience would be the time when we door to door to share the gospel. It was real tough for me but I learnt a lot from that day. It was not easy sharing the gospel in Malay for me but I thank God that we have people who do speak very fluent Malay in our time. Since we were there, a lot of things happenned. I accidentally injure myself for the first 3 days. Besides that, many of our group fell sick. Some really were tormented by evil spirits. I remembered that one night we prayed for so long that I didnt know it was late because I just wanted to continue praying on and on. It was really a great experience. The last few days there, we spent some time going on visitation, singing carols, playing and teaching the kids. It was real joy to see the kid's smile on their faces. At the end of the week, we were all tired and sick but we were really happy. For me, I was overjoyed for I got the chance to share the gospel and we managed to save 4 souls. Praise be to God!

Class Reunion 08

Well holidays came and our classmates got together in Ipoh. We finally can meet up with everyone cause it's holiday for all the universities. We went to a place known as the Kinta Riverfront. It's just beside my school. It was just built. Never knew such things existed. It was a really nice place. Very 'yuppie' I guess but the things there were expensive. A cup of coffee costs RM3. However, the gathering was good. We got to update each other on our lives and how we are coping with uni life. Everyone nearly had the same story. I guess we're all in this together. Anyway, it was real good to get in touch with everyone. I hope that we all can still meet up like that in five years time.

Welcome 2009!

Wow it's been months since I blogged. Well what to do, back home got no internet connection. I can only blog when I'm back here in uni. Anyway, I have many things to blog. I hope to get back on track. As we enter 2009, I pray that we will continue to seek the Lord and have a closer relationship with Him. Well that's my wish for the year. For me, this year will be a year of relationship. Having a close relationship with God and also with family and friends. Learning to trust and faith loads of faith in God. I really thank God for everything that He had done for me last year. Thank you Lord for my result and trips and friends and activities that I got to attend and do. Hopefully the Lord shall continue to work in me and use me in His kingdom. Happy New Year!!!
