Here are some interesting facts about our destination before we head there:)

Gunung Ledang
-believed to have one of the richest flora species in the WORLD (now that's something)
-you'll see giant butterflies,brightly coloured spiders amidst wild tropical flowers of bright yellow,crimson and orange
-crickets and frogs singing songs of the jungle (hmmm I know Cheryl will like this),chirping sounds of birds become the music of this tropical land
-the Puteri Waterfalls is a 50meter drop waterfall

The Legend of Puteri Gunung Ledang

According to the legend, the princess was of slim build and medium height and had a stunning beauty. Further, she was also endowed with a sinuous movement, that accentuated every curve of her little body.
Men were naturally attracted to her but amongst the many, she was claimed to have spurned was the Sultan of Melaka.
The legend tells us, that the princess eventually married one Nakhoda Ragam, a hero whose name unfailingly struck terror into the hearts of those, who had dared to oppose him.
ut this hero was later to die at the hands of his princess-wife.
Ragam was found of tickling the Princess's ribs and one day, in an uncontrollable burst of reaction. The Princess stabbed her husband in the breast with a needle she was handling.
Therefore the Princess returned to Mount Ophir and vowed never to set eyes on another man.

Hey Guys!

I updated the playlist from the Christmas one.

Check out the first song.

You are Worthy - Bob Fitts

Fascinated by Your beauty
Captivated by Your love
Intoxicated by Your glory
Forever will not be enough

Saturated in Your mercy
Liberated by Your grace
Consecrated to be holy
Forever I will seek Your face

Chorus:
For You are worthy, You are worthy
You are worthy my glorious God

I think it is very charismatic.
Perhaps we can play it in CG one day!

GUNUNG LEDANG
Puteri Waterfalls
by Errol Fung

JAN 24, KELANA JAYA - "Standing at 1,267m, Gunung Ledang (Mount Ledang) is Johor's highest mountain and it can be accessed both from Johor (Sagil) and Melaka (Asahan). The journey to the top will take approximately five hours through the dense jungle", quoted Virtual Malaysia. Although, we aren't gonna climb it. *gleeming Smile!*

This air terjun is locally dikenali as air panas or ayer panas. Di sane u can play play at 2 different lokasi. One is dipanggil Puteri Waterfall. and another one is sikit higher, called Twin waterfall. Since it was privatised, the tempat letak kereta have to pay RM2 and RM1 per penumpang kreter. So if satu kreter go in with 5 orang, then u kene pay USD7 dollar. eh, no no. RM7 Dollar. eh no no. RM7 ringgit lah ok.

The plan sini is the ones that can departure Night Jumaat, we go same2 at about 8pm then obernite at KeeWee's Crib. then the second batch of those yang tak bleh pegi malam jumaat like some people who got party with other friends or the one yang kenot overnite, they leave pagi Saturday then meet us at TANGKAK turnoff or if noe how to potong potong inside melaka, turn off at AYER KEROH then ber-rendezvous together-gether at Tangkak at 9AM.

The first batch, going to galavanting at melaka i think. then crash at KeeWee's place.
The plan at the moment is tentative-ness only. not confirmed as yet.
2357 Hours - 24/01/2009. Ops. sorry. 2010.

It's Back!!

Road Trip to Cameron Highlands anyone???

2009-09-07T23:30:00.007+08:00

Hi guys, I know its kinda sudden, but nothing beats having a spontaneous road trip isn't it?

We're planning to go to Cameron Highlands for a 3 days 2 nights trip.

Cameron is 4 hours drive away from KL.
Up there, we could go visit the berries farm own by Eugene's friend, and a lot more.
Most importantly is the cool fresh air =D

Date is next Monday 14/9 to Wednesday 16/9
or another option is during the Raya break, Sunday 20/9 to Tuesday 22/9
Budget: Approx RM 2oo including food, accommodation & fuel.

Any further inquiries pls contact Eugene/ Michelle/ Spencer.
Everything in this plan is flexible, so we could actually discuss and make a bit changes if you really want to go and cannot make it on those days.

note: this is a total unofficial and random roadtrip.

An extremely eventful August!

2009-09-02T00:42:00.004+08:00

August was really eventful for w22 and w45 that we didn't even have time to blog about it.

At the end of July we had our 8th Anniversary Gala Dinner

In August there was Pastor Mike and Pastor Troy Marshall

Finally we had 5 services for our Drama Production : Will you marry me?

and ALSO enjoyed a Happy Merdeka Family together .. and prayed together at church-wide prayer meeting..

We also celebrated Jessie, Lucas and Sara's birthday..

Wow ...

It was all mind blowing!

But the best is yet to come..Emerge will be coming real soon and much more to come next year..

Hope those overseas are able to come back fast to join us once again..we miss you guys!

Whoever has all pictures of events i mentioned about..pls post them!..and whoever is free..do blog about a summary of pastor mike and troy's sharing ..

Till the next post!..

Husband Store.

2009-08-03T22:21:00.003+08:00

Pastor Kong once mention this during one of his sermon. I just came across it while reading online and thought its kinda interesting. Therefore I'm sharing this with all the girls, and guys... enjoy!

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. ... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
*********

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
*********

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
*********

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
*********

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
*********

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building
because there is no way out except to Jump from the 6th floor....

True, most woman can settle with what they have but out of curiosity, some might venture out to find more. The “What If…?” factor. Well, we all know what curiosity did to Whiskers - (RIP).

So which floor would you stop at?

With love,

Michika

Updates on Fun-sized Yuwen!

Laptop crisis!!!

2009-07-18T12:41:00.004+08:00

Hey peeps!!!
Guess what, my laptop almost crashed today. There was about 250 viruses in my laptop, and it kept shutting down.

I was like...O-M-G!

But the first thing that came in my mind was Cheryl's sharing about how her mum actually prayed for her i-phone, and it actually recovered miraculously.

I was praying like, non-stop...and was super paranoid and panic that my laptop will be 'dead'. Then I'll be in deep trouble. Not only can't do my assignments, it would be very inconvenient to stay back at library due to the bad weather nowadays...rain storm every night! Aaron can confirm this :)

Thank God for computer expert classmates (guys gang). My laptop had appointments with all the doctors, but only one doctor managed to heal my dying laptop, and resurrected it in less than an hour. That doctor is...tada...Andrew! He downloaded some recovery softwares and that's it! Done!

Finally, my laptop is working perfectly fine.

Above all, thank God for answering my prayer by placing supportive friends around me. They are all my doctors, continuously cheering me on and always making me laugh. Although I'm the only girl in their group, they treat me like their buddy. We sing laptop-karaoke together, cook together and do assignments together.

What a wonderful fellowship!

Not to forget, thanks for all your endless prayers for me. I really felt God's tangible presence here. We're connected spiritually - distance no longer becomes an obstacle. I'm always thinking and praying for you guys.

Let's keep cheering each other on :)

Love you all!
Reg...greetings all the way from UK, 5.30am

ps: 61 days left!!!

Greetings all the way from Sheffield :)

2009-06-18T08:14:00.010+08:00

Wassup people of W22 & W45! Yeah...its me, regina...finally with some of my UK updates. It's been almost two weeks here. I'm so loving this place. However, there's no place better to be than Malaysia!

From the first day I came into Sheffield, one thing I've found very peculiar is that I always hear police/ambulance sirens the whole day. Not just once, but numerous times. I sometimes wonder, is it crime or emergency.

Oh well, I'm still kicking here...already getting used to the britian cultures, accents and roads. Those of you who dislike walking, coming here is a good option to "like walking". We walk for hours...sometimes even non-stop, especially during sight-seeings and England trips. Without further urdue...lets roll the pictures!

Arrival at Manchester airport on 7th June 2009

(with 6 of my classmates)

Accommodation - Bramall Court

In Sheffield Business School's library

The library is really cool. The internet connection is super super fast. And we can bring our bags in! Not just that, we can eat in the library.

Awesome, huh?

(P/S: My black Jacket only costs RM6. Cheap, eh?)

Me, at Sheffield City Centre.

There is a supertram in the middle of the city, something like train, but with cables on top.

Andrew & I at Meadowhall

Meadowhall is like a bigger version of KLCC, with all its branded shops in it. This is one of the best place for shopping! Some sources said that summer sales are coming up in July.

Girls, that's the perfect place and time shop!

At Sheffield train station

Beautiful waterfall and scenery behind.

Now, let me take you to the beautiful, historical city of YORK!

Firstly, this is the Clifford's tower (York castle)

In 1190, the Jews were seeking protection within the castle due to violent outburns against them in England. They rather commit suicide in the tower than to fall into the hands of the mob. In the 1300, the castle was rebuilt in stone - named after Roger de Clifford.

Behind me is the picture of the York signature - the clock.

The red soldier army/band were having a performance in conjunction with the official birthday of the Queen of England. The ceremony was held in Museum Garden.

We are now at the famous tourism spot - York Minster!

York Minster is a Gothic cathedral in York. York has had a Christian presence from the 300s. The church went through many difficulties and was constantly destroyed. It was recently renovated in 1988 after the destruction of a fire 4 years ago.

Well, there's a lot more pictures of York, and its amazing buildings! You may check them out at Facebook (yet to upload).

I miss cell group, church, and everyone there. I can't wait to be back in September!
Take care...and do keep in touch ya...

P/S: MSN, Email or Facebook message me if you need my UK contact number/address.

See you all very soon :)
God Bless!

Love, Reg.

W22 and W45's Splashing Good Time

2009-06-15T21:29:00.007+08:00

Hi w22 and w45... here's my first post... hehe there's gotta be a first time for everything... like how we tested out the underwater pictures for the first time...

W22 and W45 had a dip in the pool at Lagoonview yesterday (14th june 09)... what was a sunny day turned out to drizzle but that didn't stop us... as usual, the guys were being themselves... having fun, making pui kar scream, competing amongst themselves, making pui kar scream... oh did i say that already... biasa lah kan? guys just have the tendency to pick on pui kar ALL the time... anyway, here are the pics

Jessie

Pui Kar and the twins Eugene and Arrol

Our beloved cell leader Kee Wee

MIA Report: Aaronoid!

2009-06-11T03:52:00.007+08:00

No, Im NOT constipated! Just yawning...

Im givin you all W22 and W45 homies all the wazzups and hollas from the Liverpool, UK! Yeah live coverage and export qualiteee! I do miss everyone. Roughly a year has passed since I joined W22 and now w45. Wow, time flies when you're having fun! Not homesick yet, don't know if Im that type though...haha

So far so good so nice. I wouldnt complain - about the weather, food, culture, internet, people. Just live with it. Enjoy it. Appreciate it. Like they say, don't let anything take your joy away :) Haha. Oh the weather. Its just kinda 'different'...comparable to Genting la seriously. Just a bit more unstable and much cooler. Need more sunshine. Would love more of it!

Oh by the way, if you guys haven't got any updates, I kinda got myself tied in a knot. Yeah, I just simply got the authority, responsibility and honour (and burden) of being the course representative. Gulps. Honestly just for being noisy, very vocal, loud, and able to fake a British accent! Something new, never done it in my whole life! Never a class monitor, AJK, club president, or prefect before! So guys and gals, I'm gonna need the power of your prayers to do this right! Seriously! Thanks in advance :)

And Gordon's prayer for me on my last Sunday in CHC hasn't come to pass yet...haha if some of you remember, it was quite a 'funny' item so maybe this may ring bells!

Isn't this sickeningly familiar, Bkt Tinggi perhaps?

Ps: Note to Yuwen I'm not sure how you gonna like it here but Im loving it here so far; Liverpool is seriously the place to be (for me at least!) Most of the things you need is within walking distance, so it's gonna be convenient. And yeah, expect a LOT of walking! :)

Just another random post from just another guy from the covenant,
AARON!!

Aaron & Regina in ZOO

2009-05-25T01:13:00.006+08:00

There was a changed in plan of going to Garden in OU due to J-card day which caused bad traffic around OU and shortage of parking spaces.
Thus, we ended up in the ZOO, the noodle shop that HTV introduced last weekend.
I shall spare the details and review of the food as HTV already done it.
Importance is, WE ALL HAD FUN =D

After dinner, we headed to Sunway Pyramid for MOVIEEEEEEE, as planned.
So much of saying we're united as one in the body of Christ, some people are just not so willing to unite when it comes to movie selection... Why do I say so?
-Because we separated ourselves into 2 groups and watched different movies, Angels & Demons and Night at Museum 2.
Oh well, we couldnt really get enough tickets for the same movie... So its nobody's fault k?

Zoo Exhibition #1
The Real Man

Zoo exhibition #2
The You The Leader

"Some" news reported that Real Man is going to leave on Thursday =(
(reg - to be exact: 280509 at 2300hours)
"Some" reliable sources stressed that the possibility of this guy escaping to UK(Ulu Klang) is 100%
Therefore, if you miss him, you know where to find him.
Hint: Liverpool?
Mugshots!

Last but not least, I love highlights in every post.

And let us present to you our beloved cell leader,
.

*drumrolls*

Kee Wee!

Hidden message: Sometimes we maybe need to act a bit like gangster =p

PS: Best wishes to Aaron and Regina in their studies and
may their walk with God gets even closer when they are abroad.
Let's together look forward to hear their testimonies and living experiences in UK.

Pls do not go MIA
Keep us updated on Read this Lah news network k?

Sitiawan Mission Trip

2009-05-17T19:45:00.004+08:00

Hey W22 and W45!

Here's just a little post about the trip; its been great and out team had a great time together with Rhema Church, Pastor Dave's church. I became Pastor Kevin's assistant, Multimedia Crew, Sound Crew, Musician, and Tour Leader! (That's the best part but i wasn't that to bring them around lol)The church has really young people there, and 80% of them (entire congregation) gave their hearts to Jesus! We had seafood for every lunch and dinner.. but apart from all of that, here is the surprise!

On Sunday morning, service was about to start at 10:00am. We came out from the guest room and look at the crowd, prepare for service and etc.. In the midst of that, I just looked at the crowd, and then i spotted someone SO familiar I got blurry. Then the guy waved back, and I was shocked and happy to see this man..

Yes! Pang Pan Yuen! I was so surprise to see him there, and we talk abit before the service, he said he drove all the way down from Kampar to attend Pastor Kevin's service..and i was like wow! (i didnt know how far Kampar was from Sitiawan)

So we had service, sermon was great, I tell you, Pastor is one of the best preacher, he had his sermon outline and i also had one to help him put up sermon slides on the projector. He started preaching accordingly, but right after the intro he went off his sermon and preached without his sermon notes and connected with the congregation. Through that Pastor Kevin gave an altar call and many receive Jesus into their hearts, and our beloved Pang also gave his heart! Hallelujah!

I was so happy and God impressed upon my heart to bless him (Pang)! So in my mind i was like "So how much should I give!? RM50? RM100?", but the respond was "No, get something to add value into his life".. and i thought of buying him a book.. so i quickly bought Pastor Pat Mesiti's Book, the millionaire (red book) from Joey (he came also with attributes items). And i went to look for him and bless him.

God is good, Pang is still looking great and jolly! He was so shy during the 3 minutes sharing time, but he still walked out from his comfort zone and went to meet people! Turn to yourself in the mirror and say 'Uh-oh!' ...and i also told Pastor Kevin that he was from our church and he came 1 year ago to study in Kampar. And he is in Pastor Dave's cellgroup! Amazing isn't it!? God is Great!

So we bid goodbyes and best of luck and our team started our journey back.. the first part of the journey was kinda frustrating because the highway is only single lanes, so the ride took a long time. Our Pastor can really speed...don't play play :P so after about an hour.. the road is still a single lane..and we're not even half way through the entire journey yet.. so i was kinda sleepy and tired..but then i saw the signboard and it says "KAMPAR 52KM".. i was shocked! Pang drove down to Rhema Church to attend service in a 1 hour plus plus plus journey! Wow! He must have woke up really early morning to attend the 10AM service.. isn't that great?

Lets all give Pang a big big hand!

God is amazing! It was indeed a fruitful mission trip for me because I met someone dearly to all of us and I'm blessed that he is blessed!

We all still remember and love you Pang :)

Love,
Gordon

Happy Birthday Jonson!

2009-04-30T00:06:00.004+08:00

Hello guys, I believe many of you must have missed this when we went Bukit Tinggi's rabbit farm for Krys' farewell.
I must say this is *ahem* a good video, starring Puiks, Andrew Lau Jr, Bryan(calefare =p), Aaron & Sing Song.
Good job scaring Puiks, guys.
They were not aware of the camera in the first 30 seconds of the video.
Thus, its all natural act. haha.

Gotta clarify before you watch: THIS IS NOT A SABO or whatsoever.

Description: While everyone is enjoying themselves, busy taking pictures with the cute bunnies, this 2 are struggling to come up with a great escape plan from the rabbits area.
After it seemed they have finally figured something out, Andrew's ego did not allow him to appear coward anymore. He suddenly went with Plan B, which is pretend to be cool, ditch Puiks and Pooooof~
Poor Puiks being left behind alone and vulnerable to the attack of A & S.

hahaha. Enjoy!

W22 & W45 Outing at Summer Steamboat!

2009-04-11T00:47:00.010+08:00

9 April 2009, Thursday.
W22 and W45 had a combine cell group outing at Summer Steamboat. We took almost all the food and ate them. Delicious! Although the place was air-conditioned, those who sat by the wall were practically "steamed" by the steamboat vapor, which blew inward. But its all good. We had a fun time together!

Out of the blue, Jonson gave us a huge surprise when he suddenly appeared in front of us! That was good, man! We should present you the "Surprise Award" of 2009!

Tada!!! Our birthday boy - Bryan, turning 21 this year!

Cell group bought him an ice-cream cake and some audio CDs, and a random thing to eat? ahem, guess who's idea was that?!!

The crowd - as noisy as ever...

Here goes, the boys...

...and (some of) the girls!

Reg's Praise Report

2009-03-25T11:43:00.005+08:00

After 4 years of studies and exams, I've officially graduated from TARC with Advanced Diploma in Business Economics. My final semester results were released two weeks ago. To my surprise, I managed to score 3A's and 1B+, which was my best results ever in my 4 years of college examinations. Praise God! This final sem results has pulled up my CGPA, plus I would be able to graduate with distinction in my Advanced Diploma!

Well, just after I fulfilled my building fund in early March, I received a surprise phone call from one of my lecturer regarding my results. He told me that I was the only one who scored A for his "super challenging" subject - Strategic Planning Management, where I then found out that almost half of my classmates failed that particular paper, including the top student in my class! I was shocked for a moment. But then, I believe that it was God who gave me the ability to remember, write and score well for the examination.

God has enlarged my capacity and opened up numerous opportunities for me to share my success story to my classmates. Most importantly, I am able to glorify God with my results and continuously encourage my classmates to keep up an excellent spirit, for God will be their strength even in difficult times.

Since I joined City Harvest in October 2007, my results kept improving every semester. While I faithfully serve in the worship team and cell group, God has increased my faith in Him like never before. We have to be broken by God in order for God to use us even more.

Thus, I truly believe that balance is an important key to excel well in every area that we are committed in. Amen!

Friends Night 2009

2009-03-24T23:29:00.011+08:00

20 March 2009, Sunway. Friends Night (West & South Zones) was a blast! Nat and Andrew was our host for the night. There were many performances, such as the all-girls-band, shawn lee with his beat boxing, anthony, some weird chinese video drama with poh hin acting as "yue fang", keith sharing, shoe game, some competition guessing some chinese songs, etc. The atmosphere was great. The crowd had good response, and many enjoyed the event. Unfortunately, none of our cell group (W22 & W45) members managed to be the "lucky" person walking away with the ipod touch. Oh well, its all good =) Nonetheless, we all had fun eating hotdogs and taking loads of camwhore pictures. Here are all the pics from my camera. Some others are in Cheryl and Ya Wan's camera...

Pics uploaded from Reg's camera. Enjoy!

CG just multiplied on Wednesday and a new CG is born. W45! :) It's been almost a year and half-ish we're in the same cell group and now that we have grown, cell group is too small to contain so many of us. It's a good problem, amen! It's just so weird not gathering with the rest like how we used to in a big circle and doing mexican wave & oooohhhing when a new friend comes. It's weird not meeting each other after service and praying together as a cell. We're all so close to each other that tears and laughter were shared among all. Ahhh, i really miss everybody! :(

Some of us remained in W22 and some of us are in W45.

Hi guys...this was found in my camera..haha..some scandalous stuff??..Someone took it during Asia Conference..
Anyway i've just publish the post with the asia conference pics that are not on facebook..do check them out..its a few posts back..Sorry it took so long..the files are big and takes forever on blogger..

2009-03-07T23:22:00.004+08:00

Many of u probably know this story.. But I'm pretty sure many of u never seen the actual visual pictures or movie before. so heres a video of it.

See the expression of the father, see the people that are in the train. None of them knew what happened, or even know there's a caretaker for the train bridge. But a priceless sacrificed saved all their lives without them even knowing that they're saved. And by being saved, they're given a chance to continue or begin a new life.

Try to think about it, think about your friends who are like those in the train, not knowing that God sent Jesus to save us all. :)

God Bless
Gordon

Plan

2009-02-27T22:12:00.002+08:00

Hello my lovely W22... I hope your day has been pleasant =)
This morning, Cheryl and I sort of came up with this idea that we want to go and climb Mt. Kinabalu. Its in KK, Sabah.
According to Gordon and Kevin Y., the view from the peak is breathtaking, amazingly beautiful and you'll just stand in awe of God's wonderful creation.
It will take us 2 days to reach the peak, including one night staying at some house half way up there.

Before going, we need to train up our stamina, so that we'll be able to reach the peak without facing much health problem and physical diffulties.

Apart from preparing our physical body, we need to plan for our bank account as this trip requires return air ticket, food, accomodation and miscelaneous.
As soon as we decide who is going and stuff, we'll start to save money and book air ticket. Please bear in mind that the earlier we book the ticket, the cheaper rate we can get. Also, the accomodation need super advance booking as well.
Leave your name here if you're up to this challenge!

Her update is indeed very inspiring, especially for us who complain complain and complain all the time... We should even give praise to the Lord even for the smallest thing. Right?

Hmm... I thought of sharing this for fun, its the punishment that you guys wrote on Thursday cg.
Don't say you can't remember what you wrote... I can roughly guess who wrote what... hehe.

In no particular order:

Laugh like spongebob
Rap like Snoop Dog [??? drop it like its hawt?]
Suck your thumb like a Baby [Spencer wrote this!!!]
Calculate this in 30 sec: 37.64 x 8327 + 6 x 5 = ? If cannot calculate within 20 sec, PLZ sing an Indian song short one will do [You yourself know the answer or not?]
Jump on 1 foot 20 times while turning around [this is so Pui Kar]
Open the window and howl like Tarzan [Krys, you wrote this?]
Write names with butt
Slow romantic dance with Pui Kar(for guys) or Kevin(for girl) [this is quite good]

Thanks for the interesting suggestions. I really appreciate them =]

Your beloved sadist Game Master,
Michika

Praise Report! from Reg

2009-02-20T11:09:00.007+08:00

Hey W22! How are you all doing? Hope all things are well with you.

I am unable to be with you all tonight as my grandpa just underwent a colon (large intestine) operation on Tuesday, which lasted almost 9 hours in the operation theater. I’ll be taking turns to stay overnight in the hospital to look after him. My grandpa is turning 79 years old this year, but he recovered as fast as a young man. Even the doctors said that he’s physically and mentally very fit and strong. Thank God that the operation went smoothly and it was considered successful. He’s not on morphine anymore as he does not feel any pain at all. His church members and relatives kept coming to visit and to pray for him. We really thank God for giving him a healthy body even at this age. This is truly a miracle!

On my side, I am currently on MC for a week. As some of you might know, I was involved in a car accident on valentines night (11.49pm). What happened was Loren, his siblings and I went to Puchong to send his cousins home after Saturday service. Loren said he wanted to show me some new shortcuts and asked me drive behind them. At that time, Lisa (Loren’s sister) was driving the Wira, he was sitting beside her. Along the way, there was this sharp, dark turning which had a bump right after that. Lisa emergency braked at the bump and I didn’t see her brake lights and her bumper, and thus crashed into her car. I was stunned.

We pulled over by the side and called Loren’s uncle for help. I also called my dad. My kancil’s engine radiator was leaking, and the front of the car was quite badly damaged. It had to be tolled away to the workshop. I was a bit injured due to the huge unexpected impact. My chest hit the sterring wheel and my knee had some bruises.

On Sunday morning, my dad brought us to make a police report and contact the insurance company for help. Now, both the cars are at the workshop in Batu Caves, which would take at least a month to be repaired. I’m car-less. After that I went to the emergency wad to do a quick x-ray on my chest. Thank God there were no broken ribs or bones, just damaged some of the soft tissues. I will be fully recovered by a week’s time.

As I was telling Kee Wee, accidents can still be a praise report. I really thank God for protecting me and giving me a way out by escaping serious injuries or even death. God showed me that I should put any material possessions, such as my car, above my precious life. Although I was in trauma for the past few days, but I managed to overcome it now. I’ve also made it a point to always give glory to God even in the days of trouble, for I will praise Him as long as I live.

I’m feeling much better after taking the medications. Thank you W22 for all your endless support, encouragement and prayers. I’ll be back with you all very soon. God Bless.

P/S: Sorry, no accident pictures available...

Adios!

Love, Regina :)

Something I found over the net. Thought it'd be best shared.

One of the most thought provoking pieces of advice I received came on the form of this question – “How much money do you really need to live a great life?”

Ultimately it’s not about the money! Many people have trouble understanding this and are consumed by making money to improve their standard of living; often feeling that money solves their problems; of course it helps if you have bills to pay but it won’t necessarily make you happy, financial worries can cause numerous problems however money isn’t the answer to living a successful life. I have seen orphans on the Thailand-Burmese border and also in Laos with nothing but their happiness to hold onto, I saw happy smiling faces, they didn’t have money and yet were certainly not concerned about material wealth - think about it!

Once our basic needs are met then what’s next? Does a pop star in LA really need a $7000 pair of denim jeans with gold stitching or could that pay for clean water in a village? It feels much better to know you have helped someone else less fortunate than yourself. A form of happiness that you cannot buy, sometimes it just needs your most valuable asset - time.

Here are ten simple points that I use will as a guide to remind me that often its simple actions that can make the difference;

1. Endeavour to create win-win situations, if all parties are happy then there will be no animosity going forward.

2. Don’t be consumed by greed or material wealth or a win at all costs attitude.

3. Build a team; you cannot do it alone, no matter how good you think you are (Together Everyone Achieves More).

4. Be thankful for what you have every day and appreciate the things people do for you. In times of need it will be those people that will support you.

5. You don’t have to have ‘made it’ to do a good deed or support a charity (see point 9)

6. It’s not always about profit & loss and increasing the bottom line, believe in social enterprise. The hidden benefits are often intangible but usually far outweigh the cost.

7. Find your passion and follow it - I am often asked how do you find your passion, how do you know? If you wake up every morning aiming to run at and knock down a brick wall and would do this through rain, hail and snow no matter what - then you have found your passion. If your work is your passion and you can earn money whilst living your passion then that’s a huge bonus.

8. Think about the legacy you will leave – What will people say or think about you when you’re gone?

9. We are not immortal, time is the most valuable thing you have - so spend it wisely.

10. Care for the environment, our children and grandchildren are the ones left to deal with the problems our we have created.

So if you can afford a pair of those gold stitched denims, remember this - jeans will wash and fade but memories and the feeling you get from helping others you can wear forever!

Asia Conference!!

2008-11-29T12:58:00.020+08:00

The Asia Conference was a BLAST!!

All of us have had such a wonderful encounter with God, while being bleesed to listen to the great preachings which had undoubtedly opened our eyes, and transformed our hearts...all the peoples were empowered by the conference in many ways.

Besides that, we enjoyed to fellowship so much since the peeps in w22 can never stop chatting!=) And we spent so much time queueing up for : service sessions, workshops, food, toilets, for shower, to board the bus etc... I guess we had spent 50% of our time when we're awake, just queueing up..(-.-"').. Here's a short live report from the RDLTV:

Here's some photos we took while we were queueing up:

Hahah! Aaron was secretly peeking over someone's newspaper while queueing up! Gotcha!

Ya wan occupied herself with iPod while waiting.. Here's Michelle the Hello Kitty...lols
I believe we all have so much to share about the Asia Conference, come and post on this blog! (and more photos are coming up by Michelle & Aunty Cheryl!! )=P

Look Out Point

2008-11-12T21:31:00.006+08:00

These are overdue pictures. hehe. I stole it from someone. But Not Cheryl.
It was on Deepavali. W22 braved the KL traffic and we made our way up to this place so called "mini-genting".
Look Out Point is supposed to be a tourist spot however we did not see many tourist around. More like a dating spot...
Here is an overall summary report on that place:-
Restaurant: I can't remember the name
Ambience: Quite romantic, suitable for dating.
But the place is stuffy and warm.
Food: Average, but slightly over-priced...
Scenery: Breathtaking. Nice but not v nice view to see KLCC and KL tower
Weather: Clear, but very hot. We all were sweating...
Personally, I'm a bit disappointed at the place

Girl in pink: Tze Yee. A guest from another CG. Spencer's friend.
But small small world, shes also my friend from the Children Church.

Sorry that my face is taking 1/3 of the picture.
Blame that photographer has no skills =p

This is the noisy side of the table where all the singles get together.
On the other side, it was couples united, the quiet side.

The twins Puikar, Puiyin & Yvonne

Triplets: Aaron(Chan), Beloved CG leader, Gossip Girl YJ Tung

They are new in our CG. Cherish & Aaron (Tan) *welcome!!*

And they just started dating not too long... Way to go guys!

Albeit some tiny little hiccups on the way such as getting lost, cannot catch up, nearly got bang by the crazy Ampang buses, seeing a dead cat on the road(eeew, I know), knocked down some wooden pole then run into a random helmet in the middle of the road and stuff like that, we still enjoyed the fellowship and camwhore sessions there.

One could never relate that Ampang's side of KL with the glamorous side of KL(eg Pavilion, KLCC....) seriously...

Till then,
X O X O

We're anticipating more pictures to be uploaded by Mak Cik Cheryl ASAP ;p

Bible Verse Tag

Hey people!!

its me .... Haruka.

I am soooo sorry i have been MIA these past months..

I miss you guys a lot and i miss home!!! =( but Japans great..though its getting colder each day..

Im also really sorry that this bible verse tag thing has taken forever since Puiks posted hers..i know its meant to be an on-going thing but as usual it stopped at me!!! sorry sorry!!! here goes!!

Actually the verse i chose is kind of long..and it is one of my favorite verses:

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

We learned this verses in one of pastors sermon. When i heard Pastor preach this, i felt he was almost talking directly at me. Because we learned that God loves us so much he wants us to be happy but i often found myself questionning God when life gets hard to deal with. After learning this verses however, everytime i am caught in times of trouble i try to just relate back to this verse and find which season God has put me in now.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven

Ecclesiastes 3:2-8

A time to be born, to die, plant, pluck, kill, heal, break down, build up, weep, laugh, mourn, dance, cast away stones, time to gather, embrace, refrain, gain, lose, keep, throw, tear, sew, silence, speak, love, hate, war and peace

So as you can see.. it explains the quote

...`lifes a rollercoaster`...

Everyone goes through their own ups and downs but we can reassure that the good times will come again when the season comes.. As God as said so in the Bible.

So what season are you guys in??

Next person i tag is none other than

Mr. GG (gossipgirl)

Yew Jin

Lots of Love from TokyoJapan

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Haruka

Have you got the amount in your heart already?

2008-11-07T22:06:00.004+08:00

Alright people
The most exciting season of year 2008 has come! Arise and Build!
As we pledge this weekend during service, the excitement will officially begin!
This year, the targeted amount is 3,000,000. There goes without saying, our pledge are supposed to be higher than last year, isn't it?
I can't wait to pledge and start to think of how to earn the amount of money because I don't have much money at all!
For me, saving is harder than anything because my only income is the monthly allowance I get from my parents and I think it is only enough for me to survive through the month.
Nonetheless, I believe that God will provide me enough and open up heaven's door to pour down his blessings on us, who are willing to give sacrificially.

Remember last year's Arise and Build season, Gordon was blessed with a huge amount of money and he even got his dream guitar because his precious guitar died on him...
Then Cheryl also got lots of blessings from her parents, relatives and people around her...
Mind you, all these blessings came even before they fulfill their pledge! How amazing God can work in our lives, isn't it?
Besides the two of them, I believe many others have been blessed in many ways as well.

So, think of the city we live in today, think of running this vision together as a church.
We want to give our best and build a big house of God.
The new building is designed to fit 3000 people, according to Pastor Kevin, there will be a rock climbing site in church!!!
Doesn't that makes you have the urge to hang out in our new church already?

Don't hide from God

2008-10-29T23:17:00.012+08:00

Hey all, I’ve got something to share here. Quite long but read slowly ya.. :)

Keith preached last week to us about the true satisfaction in our lives. He mentioned that we don’t find true satisfaction in PLEASURE, PERFORMANCE or POSSESIONS. All these things might fill up the emptiness in our hearts, but all these won’t last..

People always chase over pleasures, fame etc in life as we can often be self-sufficient through those things that we gain. When you think in a deeper way, we are actually trying to cover up our imperfections by achieving great successes, having a lot of possessions and so on. This is a common way people will hide themselves from God. We are not perfect since the moment we were born into this world, we are not whole but “broken”. God can choose to just leave us alone for us to forever deal with the sin nature of this world such as anger, greed, lust, violence and death. But He loves us too much to just leave us alone and don’t have our “brokenness” be healed. From the beginning Adam & Eve hid from each other when they realized their nakedness, and they make coverings for their bodies, then hid in the bushes from God. (Gen 3:7-9) This illustrates the world, ever since sin entered the world, everyone is trying to hide from God...

Coming before God in total brokenness and admitting our true self goes against our sin nature. We hide as an attempt to cover up our brokenness. What I meant here of hiding means we use achievements, pleasures, materials etc as a “cover” to satisfy ourselves, instead of depending on God and be broken before Him, i.e admitting our weaknesses.

We shall identify how we might have hide from being broken/open to God. All these are spiritual “junkfood” as described by Keith. The most common ways to hide is through self-sufficiency. Humans have sets of rules and guidelines to grade our achievements. We often want to achieve the best results in our studies, to be at the highest position at work, or have the most amount of material possessions. All these are good achievements, and we glorify God’s name through great achievements. But always remember that, non of these will help us to get enough. The Pharisees are one of the example, they were self-sufficient religious people whom observed all the laws. They may seem blameless in the laws but they were never broken or being really truthful before God.

Remember Keith shared that: God is self-sufficient but we are not!

Other than that, some might have chosen the path of anger to hide their brokenness. Anger is a strong emotion. When we harbour our anger, it feels powerful but it always serves the wrong purpose: to help you hide from facing what is really wrong.

The next thing is addiction. There are a number of pleasure seeking ways where we often get to numb ourselves from the imperfections or dissatisfactions that we have within us. Addictions can be drugs, sex, work, sports, shopping, TV, video games and so on. All these keep us from facing our broken condition.

Besides that, we should be aware that sometimes we will try to hide by our spirituality. For example, reading the Bible to get the formula to make yourself feel good about who you are or to get the security of yourself from it. You may do all the good things as commanded by the Bible, but if these are not on a relationship with God, all these are just superior. We may be hiding from God behind all these good actions.

Most of us spend the majority of our time trying to cover up the fact of our true brokenness... God didn’t break us, but He has the power and He longs to heal us. God loves us and want to show us a lot but He can’t get close to you unless you can take away everything else that stands between you and God. And come to Him with brokenness of heart – a heart that knows it needs healing, and lay everything you have before God.

We can clearly acknowledge our insufficiency when we truly believe that only Christ’s forgiveness, and nothing else, is the reason you are able to have a relationship with a Holy God. It took me quite a long time to truly cherish this truth. I knew this from the moment I accepted Christ, but I never feel the need for it, until I experienced the brokenness, and know the meaning of salvation...

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly”... Romans 5:6 (NIV)

I'm sure we will know even more deeper about all of God’s truth all along our walk with God. =)

And just be simple before God, let your life be centered around God, and don’t let anything else shield you from Him, and we shall enjoy the intimacy in our relationship with God. ^.^

Love,
Jessie
