More House Visiting

After class on Thursday, I'm back to Cheras again to utilize the rest of my CNY holidays. I have to go down anyway since I'm in the worship team for that week :P On Friday night, I had dinner with Robert and a movie with Tim, Adrienne, and Phoebe, this is what I call a holiday!

I guess it's a popular movie, that I had hard time buying tickets even through online. However, we are lucky enough to got the reserved seats that they open up as free seats 30 minutes before the movie started. I used to study some Greek Mythology, so it's a great movie for me.

The next day, I went church early to help Bryan for the CNY decorations, but didn't contribute much. Well, luckily Daniel and Andrew were there to help out. Until everyone arrived, then we're off to Adriel's house.

Ang Pao art:

Adriel treated us KFC, pasta and fruit salad for lunch *Yummy*. It's been a nice time of fellowship there, we had a good chat and played taboo. His 3 kids kinda took care of everyone from being bored.

Adriel's house:

Back we were at church for worship practice. Tim chose the right set of songs as I almost heard all of them before ^_^ Practice is smooth and fast except for the last song Mighty to Save that we spent some effort on our arrangement. Then we're preparing to close the church for the next house visitation.

Worship practice & watering the plants:

Next stop, we're at Pastor Kenneth/Aunty Pooi Keng/ Tim's house for dinner. Everyone helped in the preparation, and this is one good day of food because of the company. There are also fireworks that happens very near from their unit, we enjoyed a lot.

Dinner fellowship:

It's Sunday, we arrived early for a round of practice (did we?) and prepare for the day. Pastor Yee once again delivered a great sermon, I was listening from the beginning til the end. I'm so glad to play for this week as it's really a great worship session. All glory to the Lord.

Sunday service:


"Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus."
-1 Timothy 3:13-

Lord, thanks for Your blessing that we had been healthy and safe throughout the break and traveling. Here by I pray for the Nottingham students that are getting their results of last semester, and also for our coming challenges. May Your blessings be with us. in Jesus I pray, Amen.

Chinese New Year Eve Dinner

Aw... it's Chinese New Year Eve and everyone was back home having reunion dinner. Slept from 5 pm til 8 pm being awaken by the fireworks, and there I go to hunt for food. It's only once in a year that you will be able to see a chinese street turned dead in this early hours.

Konnaught area, all shops closed:

I was wondering how dead can Konnaught be, and it proved me wrong when I passed through the housing areas. Cars were parking like in Mid Valley car park, there're so many people gathering in Konnaught and I could see random families celebrating together.

Konnaught housing areas:

After 30 minutes walking around Konnaught chasing around fireworks, I still have no idea where to eat. Since all chinese foods are down, fast food might be a good choice, but I was wrong since it was packed with non-chinese. Ugh... walked back and forth for several times, not much choice left too.

What to eat? Mc Donalds? Pizza Hut?


KFC or western food?

Hey! Golden Bridge House looked empty, only 1 family having dinner inside, so I made up my mind to have dinner there. The moment I step in, I felt the aura of the staffs, it's written "what is this chinese boy doing here alone at this kinda time?" on their faces. Who cares =.= I'm a customer after all.

Grileed Lamb & Chicken Chop + Ribenna Special:

Slowly walk "home" enjoying the scene and night breeze, I noticed there're fireworks here and there. Managed to capture some of them. The housing area are still very crowded, reached "home" at 10:30 pm and rest for a while. The cool thing is, there were fireworks non-stop from 11:30 pm til 12:30 am! Just lying in front of Robert's balcony watching the fireworks made my day.

Firework rush for 1 hour:




"And so we keep on praying for you, that our God will make you worthy of the life to which he called you. And we pray that God, by this power, will fulfill all your good intentions and faithful deeds."
-2 Thessalonians 1:11-

Lord, thank You for Your blessings that so many people are spending this special day well. Pray that You continue to shower this peace and love upon our nations, for Your kingdom to come, and for Your will to be done. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Reading Week

Finally it's 3rd week of class and we have 1 week holiday our uni called "Reading Week" that basically is for Chinese New Year. Not going home again for the 4th year, this time I spend my break in Cheras.

Bryan is currently doing his intern in church, which means there'll be at least somebody to be with when everyone's off to work. He's doing a new calender board for youth, which has been split into S.O.A.R (high school students) and Eagles (young adults). We spent two days to finish this thing together.

WinGS board:


S.O.A.R and Eagles' monthly calender:

Fellowship will never be enough in CBC. Tim brought us out for a Dim Sum breakfast on Saturday morning, since there's no basketball fellowship. Not bad though, Tim really knows what to get me when I'm out of Semenyih.

Dim Sum breakfast:

After breakfast, it's time for worship practice. As expected, there're no people at church except the worship team, all other has gone back for house cleaning. The team are just nice, but they lack a PA system controller, and I'm up for the job :P (for the first time). Live equalizing is so much harder than doing it on my recordings =.=.

DJ Windranzer:

Hehe, Tim even brought me out to Ampang for new year shopping, just the two of us since everyone is really back for reunion dinner preparation. It's seriously not my style to buy my own shirt but I did get 3 for RM 50. Haha~ Really thanks Tim and Bryan so much for taking care of me during this "Reading Week", without them it'll be quite a boring one.

Usual task in the changing room:


"This should be your ambition: to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we commanded you before."
-1 Thessalonians 4:11-

Lord, for what You have given us, we give thanks; for what have stroke us, still we will say blessed be Thy name. I pray for Bryan that when all doors are closed, You will still let a window open, and the best route are prepared for him. Pray for everyone's journey mercy as they are travelling back home. In Jesus I pray, Amen.

Christian Fellowship Back to Action

Yesterday was the last day of class before our 1 week Chinese New Year break. Christian Fellowship had the first meeting in the evening, and I was asked to play for the worship team, so there I go to help setup and practice at 5 pm. Thanks God the cloud is there, I can't stand walking under the hot weather this few days. *Fuh*

Carrying the amplifiers to the room:

It's been so~ long since I played for worship, the last time was before the semester started! As expected, it's always fun to join the CF worship team. They're just too good and challenging!

Setting up and practice:

The attendance was quite poor compare to what we usually have. Most of the people are gone because of the holiday, but nevermind, God is still in the midst. We did worship and ice-breaker, followed by a brief opening speech by the African Fellowship president.

Here goes CF:

Wow... we finally ended at 9 pm, no dinner yet. There refreshments served behind~ Weeeee ^_^. Anyway, didn't take too much, I was back in the room for jamming session, until we realized it was around 11 pm *oooops.

Homemade wantan as refreshment:

Honestly, everyone was still hungry, so it's time for supper! I know it sounded crazy, but we went to Murni's in Petaling Jaya (all the way from Semenyih). It was my first time, and it's really an eye-opener, eventhough it was 1 am but it's still full!

Check out the special juice that they add in watermelon, longan and coconut jelly. I had honeydew and banana special and they are awesome! Also the Roti Hawaii with the spider web deco.

Honeydew special and Roti Hawaii:

This is what I call incredible, behold the Pizza Dragon. A big lump of roti as covering and inside was ham and cheese. This portion can really kill all the stress, what a great and crazy way to start my holiday!

Pizza Dragon:


"I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts."
-Colossians 4:9-

Lord, indeed Your great work is lifting us up. I pray that you bless our fellowship, Christian Fellowship and ConneXion, which we together are serving You. Pray for everyone's journey mercy as they travel back to their respective homes. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Steamboat Night

It was 1 hour morning class and 2 hours evening class yesterday. I've done 27 simulation models with ANSYS for my final year project and it was really a hectic day. Until I came home from class, the aroma of herbal soup and the empty table that is supposed to be messy all the time reminded me we are having steamboat tonight!

Off we go to Tesco to buy our ingredients. The choices were quite good, the only downfall was they picked too many vegies (yucks). Averagely, everyone (5 of us) just need to pay RM12.50, not too bad.

Get back all the stuffs from Tesco:

By the time we got home, it was already 7:30 pm, Eugene non-stop yelling hungry. Everyone fast hand fast leg (快手快脚) wash the foods and set up the fire. It's been so long since our house do something together =.=

Working in the kitchen:

Finally, after dunno how long, the table looks more like steamboat dinner already. Everything's prepared, and now we can cook! It tasted quite good, thanks for Teng by donating his bottle of kikapu too~

Table all set!


Wishing everyone Happy Chinese New Year:

After few rounds of eating... there're still a lot of food =.= We decided to take a rest while playing cards~ after that resume eating again! Hoho, really a whole night having fun as if we are not final year students.

Eat, play and eat~

Amazingly, we managed to finish all the meats and vegies. So, everyone's almost down, we cleaned up everything and have a nice cup of sparkling juice + ice (Eugene did the dishes, hehe). The night was still young, so we ended up with another hour of card games again :P

Clean up and icy sparkling juice:

"For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God."
-Colossians 2:19-

Lord, thank You for blessing me this time of fellowship. Pray that everyone will have a good time of reunion with their family during Chinese New Year. Also pray for our health and safety as we celebrate this festival. Help us to keep each other in prayer, and may You bless them. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
