REALLY Last Summer Weekend in CBC

I should be joining Nilai Worship last Sunday before my Autumn semester starts. However, Hui Yi's message broke my dream at 11 a.m morning, telling me that she mistaken the worship practice and she could't make it. My booting brain ran slowly to figure out the situation... Daniel had an exam on that day, Shan Berg just played last week... Argh... it's hard but I promised to replace her for that week (and the consequence is rushing myself to catch the morning bus =.=).

There're a lot of new faces at the bus stop, since class is starting soon:

As usual, reached Cheras in the afternoon for lunch, joined WinGs and then the worship practice. The special one was Robert brought us to Jalan Alor around KL for dinner. Believe me, KL life is really hard. There're 5 of us, and each dish comes about 30 minutes apart. I bet they worried that we don't have enough time to sit and "enjoy" KL night view.

Parked our car at SungEi Wang and walked to Jalan Alor:

Sunday after service, the youths had lunch at ABC Mamak, which I called Adam Bryan Carmen Mamak. It was pouring like a whale crashing into a black hole, so we chilled a while in church before leaving back to Semenyih. Oh ya, I received a birthday present by WinGs, a cactus again =.= but this is a fake one, so no need to bother about its welfare ^_^.

ABC Mamak and chilling (jamming) in church:


Present from WinGs:

Finally, highlight of the week. We reached Bandar Tasik Selatan station at 3.20 p.m, and I thought I'm in PC Fair. The crowd is just "over-annoying". I missed the first train as I couldn't squeeze in, but by God's grace I made it for the next train and caught the returning bus on time. Phew~

The sotongs that will be squeezed into sardins:


"One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove. And a voice from heaven said, "You are my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with you."
-Luke 3:21-22-

Thank You LORD for blessing me with this wonderful summer, where I learnt and experience worship. Through Your guidance, the angels that you sent, we witness the sweetness of Your mercies. Pray that You will pour down Your blessings as our new Autumn semester started. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Melaka Roadtrip with WinGs

Since it's Hari Raya, Monday and Tuesday were public holiday. I joined WinGs for a daytrip to Melaka, there's a total of 8 people with 2 cars. Me and Robert left at 6 a.m to pick up Stephanie as all of us planned to depart from church at 7 a.m. Indeed, it was a nice weather in the morning.

We stopped by Port Dickson to have breakfast (prepared by Ivy & Adrienne) at the beach. The sea breeze kinda reminds me of home, but I'm not missing home! After the breakfast, we did some walking to the lighthouse on a hill, splendid view on the top. However, it rains while we're returning down :P.

It's a few hours driving til we reached Melaka town. Knowing that the town will be super busy, we parked our car quite some distance away from the town and walk there. Nevertheless, we had plenty of food along the way.

Look at how crowded is Jonker Street:


Our lunch at Famosa Chicken Rice Shop, and durian/mango cendol:


Jagung cendol and Ais kacang:

Apart of the food, we do have a lot of fun there. Firstly, the lighthouse and the super slope down to the sea, where the height really scare Robert off. Next, it's the leftover of the famous A.Famosa fort that we fool around with the cannons.

Well, I see jump shots a lot, but it's my first time doing those stuffs. We jumped for almost 30 minutes outside Dataran Pahlawan. Can you believe people can just stood or sat there staring at us doing weird stuffs over and over again :P

Finally, the darkness took over daylight. Out last stop was dinner at Ban Lee Xiang 万里香 Satay Celup Restaurant. Seriously, it's SPICY!!! Anyway, just stuffs all of them into my mouth, almost half-conscious after the excitements.

"Abba, Father, everything is possible for You. Please take this cup of sufferubg away from me. Yet I want Your will, not mine."
-Mark 14:36-

Thank You Lord for blessing our journey and this great time of fellowship. As the holidays end and all of us are back to our respective routines, may You be with us all the time. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Last Weekend at CBC Before Summer Ends

It's 1 more week before class starts. Awh... Can't believe this 4 months of summer break is ending soon. For this last second Sunday before the dream lowers it's curtains, I spent a couple of days at Cheras, Robert's place since Friday night :P What an unpleasant trip, the train broke down and I'm stuck at the station for almost an hour until the next train came.

Kajang KTM Station:

The next morning, Robert was out. Woke up earlier than usual, I walked to church (3 minutes 46 seconds) to watch the worship practice. Although I'm not part of the team that week, I'm still helping the musicians. Well, maybe they don't need it but it's always good to have extra opinion on the practice right?

Robert's balcony in the morning, and worship practice:

There's a very interesting game we played during Youth meeting. We are made into 2 teams. One of us looked at a "map" (20 seconds) and try to draw as much as they remembered on a blank paper (30 seconds) without referring. As the time runs out, the next member will repeat, and continue on the drawing. It rotates for 2 cycles until the game ends, and the group that can produce the most similar drawing with the original wins.

The "map" that we have to memorize as much as possible in 20 seconds:

In fact, 1 worm is "planted" in each group that will make mistakes purposely on the drawing. So, group members are suppose to identify errors and correct it.

Team A & Team B:

Hehe, what's next? I had a really good time music jamming with Ivan and Joel. Basically just chilling after Youth meeting, searching some random worship songs online and play/sing it out. After dinner, we even visit a church member that just gave birth to a baby 2 weeks ago. Pastor even asked me to pray for the baby~ Can't imagine 10 years later I met this boy and told him I prayed for him when he's just 2 weeks old -_-".

Welcome Kayden Chan to this world:

On Sunday after service, we celebrated Aunty Pooi Keng's belated birthday (Wow... her birthday is exactly same date same year with my dad!). A little music jamming with Bryan and Carmen again. Then off they go to study for PMR and SPM. Seriously, I love the jamming session with them for these two days.

Pastor wishing his love happy birthday/Bryan solving add.math problems:

I knew they wanted to go for futsal that evening. At first, I was so reluctant to join because there're too many people and I don't kick(!). Too bad, I happened to be in Joel's car and happened to be at the futsal court =.= Amazingly, they could form 3 equal groups of 7 people if I join, so I must... Not bad, beside running around giving pressure for 2 hours, I scored the last goal of the day. Hehe. Although having 2 newbies in my team, we won all except 1 match ^_^.

Challenger Futsal Court:


"Since you don't know when the coming of the Son of Man will happen, stay alert and keep watch."
-Mark 13:33-

Thank you LORD for blessing me with all these wonderful time of fellowship. As You answer my prayers gradually in perfect timing, I know for sure that Your love is overwhelming. Let greater things and glorious change come upon this nation. I also pray for Bryan and Sophia that will be sitting for SPM, Carmen and Phoebe for PMR this year. May You grant them wisdom to glorify Your name. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

I'm On Magazine

Anyone heard about the magazine Doctor's Job? It's a magazine about undergraduate courses in Malaysia, mostly about advices and resources. It's normal for student that graduated from highschool, not knowing what course to continue for their undergraduate study. Just like me, blindly picked up a course that I have totally no idea about it.

What so special until I have to blog about this? It's not like I'm interested to get another degree... Actually, Julian already told me a month ago, but it's just recently that I finally get myself a Doctor's Job Issue 59 (about engineering) at Terminal One, Seremban. My interview is on the page! It's about my study in Nilai University College, kinda funny looking at my own article.

Click to enlarge:

Well, I admit I wrote most of the stuffs but I myself don't know some English words in it, must be an eddited version XD. By the way, check where they get my picture from (click here) and you'll laugh til you roll. To my surprise, I'm not the only one from NUC shining on the pages. To my fellow NUC coursemates, behold~

Haha~ for non-NUC coursemates, it's OK if you don't understand, just something between us engineers XD. Oh ya, I take down the promo pages for a few universities that I'm dealing with currently. Check out my previous college, NUC and the neighbor college Inti Nilai. So don't get jumbled up again, I'm not from Inti.

Currently studying at Nottingham University & some engineering guidelines:


"Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'"
-Mark 7:15-

Looking back to the steps that I made, thank You Lord for being with me all the time. I wouldn't have make it this far without You. Pray that Your unfailing mercy will continue to uphold us in the coming challenges. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Cheras Baptist 23rd Anniversary

I mentioned my old digi-cam has some problem and it's certified that the light sensor is spoiled. Most of the people tell me it's time to change, so I get myself a new SONY DSR-T90 (3 Years warranty). This is a touch screen digi-cam, I'm not fully used to it yet.

My new digi-cam:

As usual, I reached Bandar Tasik Selatan station on Sunday morning for church and waited for someone to pick me up. I put some effort on my outlook that day. Firstly, because it's church 23rd Anniversary Lunch. Secondly, Robert said I should change a bit on my dressing. Nevertheless, because I bought a new camera ^_^.

Gangster theme!

As expected, a lot of people are quite surprised with my new look, Robert can't stop smiling and looking at me~ Haha, credit to him that dug out my "potential". Things are kinda different since it's a combine service (Mandarin & English). It includes some special presentations, sermon (interpreter: Adrienne Cho) and baptism!

Besides worship session (pianist: Daniel), WinGs choir did a song , the boys from Mandarin service did a great song too (pianist: Aunty Pooi Keng), Stephanie & Christopher also sang duet of a Mandarin song (pianist: Adam Jong). Do you realize that? We almost used all of our main pianists in CBC, imagine us switching around the piano, that's so COOL!!!

WinGs choir & baptism (5 candidates):

After the service, we moved to Cheers Palace Seafood Restaurant for the Anniversary Lunch which is around 5 minutes driving time =.=". The flow is kinda like a wedding dinner, where people sit in round tables and speeches+performances. Anyway, the food are kinda... nice, except the spicy and green dishes.

We arrived Cheers Palace Restaurant during cake cutting:


Look at the crowd...


Some performances including Stephanie, Christopher & Trent:


We enjoyed ourselves a lot ^_^:

Fuh~ although I'm not doing much except taking photos and eat, but truly it's a great day. We returned to church and clean up the backstage since there's a mess after the baptism. After that, it's chilling time~ Spend some marvelous time alone on the piano again, love it.

Chit chat and also reviewing the photos taken:


"Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed to shut out the light? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine."
-Mark 4:21-

Thank you LORD for blessing this anniversary and a chance to listen a great testimony given the the baptism candidate. Pray for Nicole lee that will be having her surgery tomorrow morning, may Your love brings peace in her. Pray for more love and kindness to rain down upon Cheras Baptish Church in the coming years to bring You glory. In Jesus I pray, Amen.
