Revival One Church Visit

Back to the thing that I didn't do for a long while, I'm church visiting again. This is Wei Ern and Pei Wern's church at Sri Petaling. The service started at 8:30 am, and I got up early at 7 am (again!). It's one of the shop lot in the shopping complex, and it's super empty at this hours.

The name of the church is Revival One:

Surprisingly, the church is quite small, almost 40 people, just like what I had back in Nilai. Hey, it's the final week of the month, and they have Holy Communion, each church sure is different in ways of doing thing, yet connected because of grace. Oh ya, the pastor is so cool, a little Cantonese in English sermon sure is interesting.

Worship and Holy Communion:


"Do not run away from temptation, but walk through them"

After that, we (including Audrey and Krystle) went to Mid Valley to meet up with Isaac Ling. It's been a long time we didn't meet him since he left Nottingham. We had an early lunch in Subway (my first time).

Small CF gathering at Subway:

Wen Shan and Joseph Heng joined us too. We walked around Mid Valley, couldn't figure out anything to do, and ended up in Garden's Foodcourt for a second lunch (=.=) Well, sitting down somewhere actually is better for catching up with each other.

Thanks Isaac for the ABC~


"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
-Deuteronomy 31:6-

Thank you Lord for this good time of fellowship with some CF people. It really does encourage me knowing Wei Ern drove all the way from Seremban to Sri Petaling every week like that, what kind of faith. Pray that you continue to bless this small community to grow spiritually and enrich their lives. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Not a Good Day for Outing

The first ConneXion Semenyih outing of this academic year is supposingly hiking at Ah Pak San. Oh gosh, it has been ages since I woke up this early, and it was raining! There goes the starting of a bad day.

Woke up early and it was raining:

OK, we hoped that as we arrive the destination, the weather would be better. Luck is not on our side, we did arrive at the place... but it rains again (it actually stopped for a while during the journey). Oh great, 3 cars and 1 van just needed to renavigate to plan B, the place where we used to do boat pedaling.

Not so sure of the whereabout, GPS time:

We're finally here at Taman Tasik Perdana, the weather turned clear, but I wonder what's wrong with today, the boat pedaling service stopped because of renovation. Seriously, through all the troubles... we are too tired for plan C. So as well just fellowship around the garden.

Icebreaker and worship at Taman Perdana:

Thanks for Steven's efforts for making the breakfast sandwiches. We walked around and took some pictures too. Anyway, the water wasn't as clean as the previous visit. Maybe staying on land is a good idea after all.

Free time walking around:

It's already time for lunch, the chosen place is Leisure Mall. We're back at Wong Kok forming long tables again. Actually, the whole day wasn't too bad, at least we met a lot of new people and fellowship. Hope they don't mind, and may God bless our next outing.

Cheese baked pork chop:


"Then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you."
-Deuteronomy 30:3-

I deeply believe there's no accident, and there's a reason for everything to happen. Teach us not to blame for this small obstacle, but let us see through the big picture. Also pray for understanding and unity among our ConneXion members. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Lakeside Cell Group

It's Thursday night again, time for CG (Cell Group or Care Group). This is a session for CF people to come together and have some fun and sharing. Of course, new comers are welcomed.

Due to some booking error, we don't do it at Dance Studio anymore. Struggling for a better place, we did it at a pretty nice place I would say. It's at the balcony of Admin Building, facing the famous Nottingham lake. So far, God has been faithful, to bless us with nice weather.

Our CF place:

So what we normally do is ice-breaker, worship songs, and sharing session. Some new people are still very quiet although we did the sharing session in small groups of 5-7. The wind and peace is pretty nice, but I still prefer the beach in KK.

This time, I'm in the group led by Wen Shan. The topic is about forgiveness, besides scrolling around Matthew 18:21-35, we also shared some personal view and experience. Our outcome is, forgiveness is more than forgetting, but ideally include reconciliation and restoration (easy to say).

Worship and prayer:

Not compulsory but mostly... we will have our supper at some mamak stall after CG. Traditionally, we will always form long tables coz of the large crowd we have. As the busy-ness of uni life goes on, I bet this won't be as often anymore.

Nasi lemak for supper:


"All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God"
-Deuteronomy 28:2-

Pray that both CF and ConneXion will grow spiritually mature and also work together as one body in Christ to give an impact to the students in this campus. We wanna make a difference in this place that we are sent, for Your glory, Amen.

To Fotorex

Me and my housemates left Semenyih at 10:30 am yesterday to Belakong for Isaac Yin's farewell. Another ex-housemate that's going to do PhD but in Ningbo. Coincidently, we're doing it in GreenBox again. After that, yam cha at The Mines (first time there).

Sing K at GreenBox:

My main objective that day was to collect my graduation pics from Fotorex at Jalan Sungai Besi. According to Google Map, I roughly know how to get there from the nearest LRT station.

my walking planned route to walk:

Haha, my DBLB compass does good job here, never thought that such thing could be in use in a city. I slowly walk, and see all the related land marks that I remembered. Wow... this is such an adventure, I'm I thought I'm getting nearer to the place.

Walk south from LRT station:

Oh my... it's suppose to be near, but I don't see any open shops. I walked around and finally resorted to ask somebody around. They told me to continue walk up until I cross the roundabout... Wait! I don't remember any roundabout on the map, but no choice, I'll just do it and finally, I found the place.

Mission accomplished:

Collected my pictures, and walked all the way back to LRT station. It's not really my day, if I got back to Kajang now, I'll need to wait 2 hours for the next bus. So I ended up, stopping at Bandar Tasik Selatan and had dinner with CBC churchmates - duh - In the end, I took the later bus back and reach home at 10:30pm (12 hours out).

Dinner after their worship practice:

I don't believe that I interpret the map wrongly, after I got home I went to check on Google Map again. Haiz... there's actually another Fotorex at northwest direction, and that's the correct one T_T

Red mark is the real Fotorex:


"If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge—whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults—take them to the place the LORD your God will choose."
-Deuteronomy 17:8-

I actually thought of, when we pray for directions from God, and they are revealed, do we really go to the right direction? Do we misunderstand the "map" and thus looked at the wrong landmark. Most importantly, are we alert enough to notice that we're at the wrong way and seek help from God. Pray all this in Jesus name, Amen.

Every Move I Make (WindMash)

I seriously thought I'm done with music editing for good after stopping for more than a year. Somehow, a song posted on my facebook profile by Ivan Mak made me itchy again.

This idea of mashing up Every Move I Make by David Ruis and Lord I Lift Your Name On High by Rick Founds has already linger in my head for so many years. I first noticed the potential while realizing the high similarities of chord progression (almost the same).

I'm playing with line picking and matching (my own terminology). Just mixing around and make it sounds more like a mash up instead of song linking. This is my first recorded mash up~ and I'm calling my mashes "WindMash".

Surprisingly, I managed to complete this song in just 2 days. Even for a line of verse, I used to redo it for 4-6 times, now almost can do it one shot. Harmonizing also becomes more natural, last time even need to fine tune on my keyboard. However, my equalizing skills got worse... lack of practice on the software =.=

Also, in this song I add in a sort-of-rap line, just some random ideas mixing together~ After all, I'm just having some fun. Oh ya, I found a new music hosting website (The Music Hutch), this looks better than iLike.

Lord I L.I.F.T your name on high
lift Y.O.U.R name on high
lift your N.A.M.E on high
lift your name on H.I.G.H high!



"Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess"
-Deuteronomy 11:8-

The campus is turning into a more happening environment, new semester is starting to get lively. Pray that ConneXion and CF will both grow and able to make a change in the students' life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Jacqueline's Birthday

It's the second ConneXion Bible Study in ConneXion house. We had 38 people, a record breaker~ I think it's because semester just started, where students can still take it easy, and CF hasn't officially started their meeting yet. No matter what, it's still encouraging to see this scene.

Bible study night:

Jacqueline's birthday falls on the same day, and we did the biggest birthday prank in ConneXion Semenyih's history. It's also the last day for Chris to join us before he goes back to Miri, so some how... he's involved :P This really reminds me of something.

Happy Birthday and Happy Farewell:

Haha, it might be scary for new comers to see how wild we are, but seriously, it's important to be wild and crazy while you still can. Hey, for everyone out there, I know it sounds hard but be thankful and enjoy your undergraduate life!

Birthday girl on the top:


"You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear."
-Deuteronomy 7:19-

PMR exam just started, pray for those highschool kids to be able to score good marks and may God guide them along the way. Chris is flying back to Miri and Shen to Sabah, pray for their journey mercy. In Jesus name, Amen.

Christopher and Stephanie's Wedding

Last Saturday was Christopher and Stephanie's wedding. I was informed earlier to play the piano for this big day, accompanying Cheryl Yap from Singapore and Jonathan Chen from Penang, and I only get to meet them on the wedding day itself!

Florist decorating the sanctuary:

I stayed at church the night before, woke up at 4.15 am with Tim to pick up Jonathan at Bukit Jalil station. We practiced early for the whole morning (still in my pajamas). We managed to prepare everything before the ceremony, and here comes the bride!

Non-stop practice for the whole morning:

Yeah! Our march in song My Valentine and instrumental Bridal Chorus did good. I really like the worship session with Paul on the guitar (another great musician and friend of Christopher), the way he plays is really clean and solid. Besides that, Ivan and Cheryl sang I Finally Found Someone. Although never heard of it before, but both vocalists are superb, it was stuck in my head for the whole day.

Cheryl, me and Jonathan:


Wedding march in:


Special performance by Cheryl and Ivan:

Ok, the faithful friends all over the world have blessed the ceremony with music. Finally it's the vow reading and ring exchange. Oh ya, Christopher did a surprise presentation, singing a song that he wrote for Stephanie, sweet leh~

Love song only for Stephanie, by Christopher:


The wedding kiss:

After the ceremony, I chat with a few of the musicians. No wonder they are so professional, they all have inspiring great musical background. Playing with great people really made my day, I'm glad to be here, to bless and be blessed.

Photo taking session with ConneXion Semenyih:


"If you obey the law carefully, you will display your wisdom and intelligence to the surrounding nations."
-Deuteronomy 4:6-

Thank You Lord for blessing us this wonderful day, that marks the union of a lovely and god fearing couple. I pray that You will guide them to love each other more, and draw people nearer to You through this relationship. In Jesus I pray, Amen.
