Christmas day!!

Christmas finally came! and there are a lot of things for me to prepare, especially the musical drama for the christmas worship service on the 25th Dec...

almost 2 months of preparation the day finally came! both the youth and the church choir sang the christmas anthem very well.... the children's drama about the angels and the shepherds in the field gave a clear message to everyone... plus with the christmas message shared by pastor... christmas was meaningful for all of us..

Christmas! a precious gift that God have given to us... He gave us His Son... to die on the cross for us! I was a seeker in the dark world! looking for truth in the wrong places... but now i've seen the light. the light of hope that God gave me on the day of Christmas..

God loves you and me! have a blessed Christmas as we remember this gift that God given to everyone of us....

Counting my days!

Counting my days now! i still have about 2 weeks of work! then... in December will be the month for my preparation as well as others fellowship and mission matters to attend to before i leave for STM. in the last week of November i'll be training the new collegue so that he will be able to handle the work when i leave! can't wait till that time.

My work now have been slowing down! now there are more time for myself. am still coughing now but not as severe as last month. last week, wednesday i went to the CAC office in KL for an interview as i'll be going to STM. I worried that the scholarship would not be approve so i was anxious that day. I was called into the meeting room together with 5 other. there sitting in front of me are the District superintendents and the president. couldn't imagine the tension at that time and everyone were speaking in mandarin. Thank God, i am able to speak a little and understand. at the end, its just a get to know more about me interview...

I've been counting my cost about this path that God wants me to journey on! its a journey that have no U turns and the path is taken its all about serving God and follow His will all my life. During the interview, president brought out a point, since i'm under the scholarship of CAC after the graduation i'll have to serve in the CAC circle! which means chinese churches... this is one of the cost that i have to take! not an easy task to take.. i'll just have to learn up my mandarin! but i believe that God will bless me thru this journey... now i'll have to prepare myself both physically and spiritually for the seminary.

Today, i have the yearning for sweedish meetballs.. lol.. after going to office in the morning. i drove all the way down to IKEA and indulge myself with meetballs and salmon... did some walking after that. i went to the curve and to the cineleisure nothing much just walk around while digesting the food! (^_^)


Salmon


Sweedish Meetballs

After a while, i went to Salvation SS2. just browse thru the books and christian audio CD. what caught my attention was the new Album by Don Moen "I Believe there is more" and a book "15 Characteristics of Effective Pastors" i tought awhile whether i should buy this book or not... and at last i grab it, anyway... it may help me to prepare for the future!


Don Moen's new album


Went to Evangel after that to get my pre-ordered CD about the last KVBC spoke by Christopher Ash about "Out of the Storm: Expositions on Job".

Pray that i'll be able to prepare myself for studies in Seminary

Disciples!!

At last i have finished the race for the disciples course for the last nine months. after all the perseverence in reading and understanding the bible, i'm graduating from disciple 1 next sunday 16/11/08! woohoo....

at first it was really tough cause i need to really train myself to be discipline to read the bible and also to complete the homework that have been given everyweek. After a few weeks of endurance, i am able to ajust myself to the habit of reading and doing the given assignments! it is a good bible study and it really make me open my eyes to understand more about the Bible and how God continues to work with his people from the old testement to the new testement thru Christ Jesus..

so if you really want a hard core indept bible study.. take on the disciple course...

i've been taking alot of different kinds of pills and drugs lately! it make me look like a medicine pot with all the pills and drugs that i have to take. still having coughs! and cough! hopefully this cough will heal and back to my healthy days!

Jacky Cheung - Love letter

Once on the way back after sending SL back home! i tune into a chinese radio station! this song was played on the radio! and my memories came back! if i'm not mistaken this album released in year 1997 and that time i was still in College. This was at that time my favorite chinese song. the memories remains! now i'm looking high and low for the album but i can't find it! hopefully i can go buy the album and listen to it again!

My Saturday / Brother's night

Woke up in the morning craving for Dim Sum! i've made arrangements for my team of workers to meet at 11am.. so i have the whole moning for myself watching cartoon shows from the TV and enough time for me to EB before i go out for work! Went to Hong Lim at 10am! and indulge myself with Dim Sum..



Indulging on the various Dim Sum in the morning!


Well... had a good breakfast in the morning and enough to last me till evening dinner! went to KK for work and completed 5 dealers there and came back home at 3pm for rest and EB.. then there is a brother's night tonight for the youth fellowship program!

October Holiday!

Its october now! and DiGi my big company requires all their merchandisers and sales people to redeco the dealer's outlet. kinda giving us more things to do! this time around there are 2 different types of sticker that we need to stick! come on.. as if there are not enough work already! on top of all the work i have done.. on the 3rd day, they announced that the stickers printed wrongly! most of us including me, complained that they should have double check before executing the project! at last we were allowed to just use it! will be working on this project until the 21st Oct!

i was anticipating for the coming Raya holidays on the month of October although i'm not celebrating it but the public holiday does help me to relax and take my mind out of the project from DiGi!

On wednesday! the first day! stayed at home the whole day just playing Elven Blood and PS2 the whole day! haha... relaxed leh! got a long sleep in the afternoon also! at night i skipped the Badminton games for a dinner in Jogoya! with cc,ff,kh,Mt,Ky and YC (am the only single there if u know what i mean!) this is the second time i went for dinner in Jogoya! just looking forward to the fresh Oysters! yummy!!


The fresh oysters! this time i only had 5pcs! mostly i whack the salmon sashimi



on my right! CC,FF and YC

On my left: MT,KH and KY


CC and I 'he's busy sucking the snail out'


Another nice dish with the mini lobster!


Had a good time together.. the next day, Ky suggested we go to FRIM for an outing! he said "There will be bicycles for rent and for those who do not know how to cycle there are motorbikes as well" "Lets go there since we put on some weight tonight" early morning the second day of holiday on Thursday we head off to Kepong lead by KY and we ended up making a U turn cause he brought us to the wrong road! haha.... classic man.. really classic! and when we reach our destination! guess what! there are NO bicycles for rent what more a motorbike! so we just went and walk admiring the nature!

Nice shot by YC the malaysian rain forest!

i was looking for more adventure rather than just walking on the road!

walk slowly admiring the nature!

After FRIM we went to CHILLI'S 1U... i do not know why FF so sad! maybe i get to eat first!

FRIM outing pictures are from YC!

After the trip! reached home at about 2pm! took a shower and went straight to beg after Elven Blood! :) at night my sister cooked carbonara pasta for dinner! and that ends my holiday! and now back to work!

Finally the Letter

After anxiously waited for the letter to come to my doorsteps! it arrived today, after Pastor called me up stating he received the cc copy of the letter while i was at work! After work today, i open the letter box and found the letter. Joy filled my heart as i opened the letter! The admission letter for the first semester.

i remember the time i rededicated my life to Him. I commit myself that i would serve Him faithfully. From being a normal member of the Youth Fellowship to an Advisor and serving in various ministries in the church. God have laid the burden in my heart as i serve Him. as the years goes by... He planted and mold me into His full time ministry.

When i've got the confirmation from my church and my family for Fulltime. i prayed to Him that he will show me the way and His plan for me. By faith i requested for the application form and filled in the details. When i went for the interview i was afraid of what to say and there was an ENglish Test as well. I just praise God that He path my way until now.

Next year, i'll be moving to Seremban and there i will spend 4 years studying and serving. May God continue to bless me and be with me throughout my studies there!

Tan uses the scripture from Deuteronomy 6 as his sharing! first talk he shared about 'Fear God'. how are we to fear God. second talk he shared about 'growing in the love of God'. the third talk is about 'growing in worship of God'. a very encouraging talk..

My Mission trip to Taiwan

Its been a while since the last time i came in and blogged! well this time i'll blog on my mission trip to Taiwan!


God gave a good encouragement and teaching while i'm in Taiwan and have made a lot of friends there.. i took all my annual leave from my office just to attend this outreach. It began with a mission conference and then after the conference there are outreach to different parts of Asia. This time i did not just attend the conference and help out there like the conference i have attended last year!

there are all together i spend 10 days there in Taiwan together with my team. After the conference i pack all my stuffs and head to the KLIA to take the flight to Taiwan. First time in my life that i can remember i took a 747 airplane.. whoa.. i acted so kampung in the plane! even my team mate laughed at me... come on! all the time i just take the airasia ok! there is a LCD and there are a controller there... can choose movie to watch.. got games... and during the whole 4 hours of flight i was watching movie.

When i reach the Taiwan airport.. everything was in chinese and english! after collecting the luggage the team and the announcement board just cought our attention.. it was written a lof of flights are cancelled due to the Typhoon. Thank God we landed safely and i was greeted by Lesley, she recognised me from the Conference t-shirt that i'm wearing!

I stayed in the church in Baifu, Keelong.. and i have ministries everyday. one thing that i experienced in Taiwan are the OPEN AIR Evangelism.. there is no chance to experience this in Malaysia.. I preached about the Gospel in the park and people who are there are like looking at me.. so i thank God for this experience and also there are a lot of people interested to know more as well.. praise God.

One the day off.. Lesley brought my team and i to Taipei walk around.. went to the Taipei 101! taller than malaysia twin tower! went to a shopping street call the west gate.. went to the memorial of the leader of Kao Ming Tang, Chiang Kai Shek. Then we went to the west part of northen Taiwan known as Danshui. So we travelled from the east part which is Keelong to the west Danshui!

Have been encouraged alot by the youth in the church and also missed the food there in Taiwan. if i have chance i'll go back to Taiwan to have a reunion with the people there and also... the foods! haha...

will be uploading the pictures later.. so stay tune! lol

Company dinner at Jogoya, starhill




had a lot of fresh oyster.. yummy.. eat until my colleague say enough!

Craving for donut!




its been awhile since i last ate the big apple donut! so after work i went and buy some so i can indulge on it at night.. :p

My Mobile Phones......

Someone asked me "Hey! change handphone again arh? How many handphones have u changed? its like changing clothes lar you" hahaha... well.. actually i also do not know how many mobile phones that i have change.. so i reflect back into my memories and search for the memories that i have on the handphone that i have changed so far!

My first phone! the motorola... how long ago that i use this phone? i think in 1997 after my form 5 i've got to use this phone and i remember that i'm using a 013 TMtouch line that time.. after that i changed to another motorola with a flip to cover the number pad! that is my second (i cannot find the picture of that phone in the net... do not even know the model number)


Next i've used is the Ericsson phone! totally old rite? haha... when i'm using this phone i was most probably in my college time! haha....

The next Ericsson T28 that i bought! haha... its the phone during that time.. although the antenna loook so bulky! My first nokia phone! haha.... and this phone i bought my own line the 012.. which still existed till now! i've used this phone for about 3 years! and after that the trend started changing.. the mobile phones evolved from just a phone to camera and with colors! and polytones started coming in!
So after that i got myself a SAMSUNG phone... believe me.. this is a nice phone! and i've used it for long time also.. maybe about 3 years also! not so sure! i was using this phone when i was working in the church i think!


After the samsung! i trade it in to get the Sonyericsson K750i... still working as an administrator in the church when i change to K750i

I did not buy this phone actually the Nokia 6230 ... it was given to me to use when i enter to work with DiGi as Marketing officer..


As i worked in DiGi at prepaid Solution.. thats when i bought this PDA phone by Dopod! actually i regretted buying this phone.. cause the processor for this PDA phone really slow and it lack the whole phone!


After when 3G started to grow in Malaysia... i bought this nokia N71... a rather large phone to use.. and i've use this for a bout 2 years together with the K750 and 6230.. because of the nature of my work in telecommunication i was asked to carry more phone sometimes i need to test out new numbers from DiGi.. then i gave Nokia 6230 to my sister to use.. and its still around now! haha....


It is when... the K750i got stolen... i got this phone.. the nokia 6300.. a good slim phone somewhat the same as the sony ericsson w880 but this is heavier! i like this phone and mostly use it for work and also going online using DiGi's EDGE since its free for me! hehe...

Used this phone for a while the K550i den i sold it off to my collegue... haha... to make way for my current phone!!!

There it is... the latest phone that i'm using now! another cool phone! haha.... i really love Sony Ericsson phone! maybe there is more phones to come in the future! haha.. who knows..
