~Damai Lagoon~...........Ultimate fun and relaxation

Just came back from Damai Lagoon , Santubong yesterday. We had our line dance retreat there. It was so fun being together with ur frens despite all the other aunties. I thought i'll be alone with my other siblings only but in the end some of my good frens (boys) join line dancing and also join in the retreat.

Starting from the beginning.......

My family packed our stuff around 11.00 and had fried rice before fetching my sister from school. We embarked from home quite late because of my brother who was last minute packing his things. After fetching Lavender(my sis), we head on to Tabuan Jaya to buy some titbits and junk food(hehe). I bought some meat pies for my mom and some "Kong Pian" or "Kong Pia" which is a local Foochow mini minced pork buns(something like mini burgers)for my brother and I to eat at Damai Lagoon. We enjoyed the trip to Damai. But one thing i hate the most is the super duper hot heat rays from the sun. I tell u i could have easily been cook in the car. Beside that i couldn't really feel the cool breeze from the air-con. Maybe it is spoilt......

Anyway, i was greeted my lush green coconut trees, four traditonal statues, and a nice fountain with cool breezes from the beach upon our arrival. Damai Lagoon is well known for the strong breeze so that's why the Lobby doesn't have any fans.Well i think our family were the first to arrive. I sat at the lobby and tried to rest because i felt nauseous. After a few minutes, aunty Shirley who was the one who book the room for all of us, checked in. There was about 7 or 8 rooms which were booked. My parents chose one . It was room 201!!!!!!!!!! The horror!!!!!! Teng teng teng!!!!!!!!*scary music from background*
Kidding kidding....Fooling around.........
Went into our room. I admired the hand-carved doors. No wonder the room rates are so expensive. Anyway, i ate my "Kong Pian" and enjoy the scenery from the window in our room. I also met Aunt Josephine who was one the ladies who took charge for the Kiddies Club in Damai Beach when i was young. She was shocked to see me at Damai Lagoon all grown up. She's now working in the tuck shop there. I bought a packet of chocolates since my mom was asking me to buy one. Along the way back to the room, finally Samuel arrived with his family. I greeted them.
Around 2.30 i went to the swimming pool and swam around . The pool was really dirty. A lot of mosses and SLUGS!!!!!!Addition to that, the pool has a lot of sand and sharp rocks. I got a few cuts too. But i manage to enjoy myself with Daniel and Samuel. We got out of the pool around 3.30 and ajourned back to our rooms. The line dance will start at 4.00 so i got ready and drank some 100 plus. The line dance team found a nice place to dance. We revised our old dances and learn a new dance "Butterfly" which is to the song "Butterfly" too(duh)
i'm your little butterfly.......
Green Black and blue................
The dance was pretty complicated. Took a while to get used to it. We finished at around 6 pm and got ready for dinner.

We grouped together at about 6.45 pm and drove to 'Buntal' which is famous for its seafood restaurants. We went to the " Sri Buntal Seafood Restaurant". Althought there was not much publicity, the homecook food were extremely delicous. I was sad as Samuel and Daniel's family decide to eat somewhere else but will be meeting us later at Damai. About the delicous food we ate:
-Salted chicken with herbs
-Stir fry vegetables
-Garlic Prawns
-Fish soup with Yam(SUPERB...best dish)
-Belacan(prawn paste) with Paku Pakis(wild vegetable)
-Curried bamboo clams
Ooooooooooooh!!!!!My mouth waters as i think about all the scrumptious food. I really enjoyed the meal. The cook cooked to slow...We finish eating at around 9.10..So late! Summore start eating at around 7.30.........

We went back to Damai Lagoon. My parents went for the Line Dancing meeting which was some discussion for the group at aunty Shirley's room. My bro and I went to daniel's room and played PLAY STATION!!!!!It was so fun. Played many common combat games. The line dance meeting ended so late (12.15 am). We make up time by playing longer and eating junk food while staring at the black box. Yawn..........was so tired by then.

I woke up around 6.55 am........I was so cold so i did not have a pleasant sleep. I went for the free buffet breakfast.(food again)Haha.............There was a wide array of different foods form traditional to wetern. I was really greedy......hehe....Gluttony........There was Mee Bandung(Malay noodles), Ampok ayam(curried chicken), Rendang(spice beef), Fried Vermicili, Congee, Fruits, Bread, Crossaints, Tarts, Jams, Yoghurts, Bacons, Cheese, Beef Bacon, Pancakes, Roti Canai(indian bread),Hot dogs, Scrambled eggs, Cereals, Fresh Juices, and SPECIAL OMMELETES WITH bacon, tons of cheese,and frozen vegetables.......Mmmmmmmmmmm......yummy........*mouth watering again. I couldn't eat much as i got line dancing later..... :( if not later got appendix.........haih~ Learn another new dance entitled"no matter what"....got may spectactors........even some white people join in and learn then hurried away....har har har.......I think they feel weird. :0 :).......

I went to Daniel's room and played playstation again......har har har.......a boys typicak game gadget........Went back early as i have to pack the things and check out with my family.....*sob
I reallt miss Damai Lar...............oh Yah, couldn't swim dat day as they were cleaning the pool.....*another sob.........so pratically i was sobbing away without tears......Haih i miss Damai Lagoon. Sandy beaches with glistening waters..........i think dat's all lar. My longets post ever...

Damai! I will be back~~~~~~~

SoRry..................

I want to say sorry to those who has been visiting quite often and yet there is no recent post. Recently i had been very busy with my youth group and i've been elected as a cell group leader summore.Very stressful. WHo will hear my pain and cry?(over reacting).hehehehe.........But it is quite tiring.
This is what i do for one meeting:
-Call up my members
-Preparing materials
-Planning out activities
-Preparing myself so dat i'll know the materials in and out
-Being the teacher for everything
-Clearing the place up
-Shopping for ingredients
-Making sure everybody feels at home
-Paying for Photostating(sure pokai=bankrupt)

I didn't have only one meeting , i had THREE this week!!!!!
Oh woe...........Oh woe..........

But anyway it taught me a lot how hard is to be and efficient leader. It also taught me how hard Uncle Mervyn had to put up with us and to lead our youth group. I thought dat it will be easy leading but then it was very hard u know.............Because of different types of interest of different individual. Like someone want to do outdoor sports, the other want to some baking. Very tiring. SOMEONE HELP ME!!! Playing games also very hard to handle. If one doesn't one to play a certain game, the other will follow. I felt very dissapointed. I felt dat i fail. AAAAAARRGH!!!!!!!!! To add more on top, i was down with flu, fever,cough, and sore throat.

Anyway, i pray dat the strenght of God will pull me through this time of hardship(hehe).This is the following activities i did this week with my cell group.
-Bible studies
-Line Dancing
-Baking cookies
-Makan lunch
-Guitar lessons from Daniel Tan (thank you)
-Some outdoor activities
-Board(bored) games
-Chit Chatting
-Resting
-Having fun with each other

Good News is, my cell group is expanding from a mere 5 ppl to 12 ppl. Oh so susah(hard)!!!!!!
Haih~
Enough nonsense,
See next time.......
Ps: see my cursor i made............nice aye?

Baptism

We had an awesome baptism yesterday. I followed my family as my father was the worship leader that night. I was surprised with the turnout of so many people. It is very encouraging to see many chinese christians getting together. We all sang some Mandarin songs and then had a word from our Pastor, David Kueh. He shared just a simple clear message about the meaning of baptism. After that, Ps.Kueh and Uncle Frank went into the baptism pool first. One by one about fourteen of them were baptise in the name of the Father, The Son , and the Holy Spirit. More christian songs were being sung after the baptism. We had a small reception compromising of different types of local delicacies or in malay we call them "Kuih". Although they were food laid on the table, the our family and the Tabuan Heights care group instead went to a local hawker centre and ordered several local dishes to celebrate the baptism of the three members in our care group which is Mei(i think), Aunty Evelyn, and Joe Joe koko(brother). We ate Tomato Noodles, Tomato Kueh Tiaw(broad noodles), and also fried noodles. There was also a Baptism Cake ( sort of a birthday cake instead) to celebrate their spiritual birthday (sort of).
Here are some pictures of the baptism and gathering:

Tiramisu!!!!

I made a delicous,scrumptious,nicest tiramisu yesterday. Now i know why tiramisu are very expensive because the ingredients are expensive(duh......=.=' ).Besides dat, making tiramisu is very tideous but i really enjoy it. A long time before PMR, i already wanted to learn how to make tiramisu. So i search and search until i found the best tiramisu recipe on the net which is webpage.It is full with step by step instuctions and pictures.........very good indeed.

Here is a picture of my tiramisu:














Oh no!!!!!!!, my tiramisu is burnt.....just kidding.....it is the cocoa powder..haha :)


Actually i change the recipe a little due to the fact some ingredients are not avaliable.Instead of the italian biscuits as the cake, i change to pandan sponge cake and it came out just fine.I also change the mascarpone cheese to philadelphia cream cheese and but it was still nice. I thought it will turn out wrong but it came out nicely set. Honestly my cake doesn't have espresso and marsala wine but it still taste splendid.

Hectic day.......

Pack day I had yesterday.
It was my sister's graduation concert yesterday I had to help get her ready her attire and make up because my mom had to attend staff meeting. So I practice on her different type of eye shadow lousy because I'm a boy. Finally, I managed to get the right colour which is blue.

After taking a bath we(my mom came back) got ready to go for the concert. Here is the picture of her after I make her up.....haha:














My cute sister








We reach there around 1.10pm . And u know wad, there was no parking space so in the end my mom parked her car near the housing estate.

I went in first as my sister needs to report to the teacher at once and beside she was late already.
I finally found some seats and booked some for my parents father would come later as he needs to pick my brother from tuition waiting, I read the schedule for the concert.I WAS SHOCKED. My sister joined the FANCY DRESS COMPETITION and it was like her turn to model after her dance followed by the level 2 dance. Besides that, the pauses between the dances is not long.

She dance very well to Huang Xing Ling's song "Honey". She was the only one moving and dancing to the rhythm(shaking her body too :) )After her dance , I panicked(I'm her dress manager, sort of) and hurried to get her at the back stage. I finally found her amongst the crowd and brought her to change with my mom. She wore a Chinese cheongsam with a flower bun....I 'm the one who made her hair into a nice bun. Oh yah, she also had a Chinese fan with her

My mom and I ran back to our seats and sat down were questioning as my father and brother not yet arrived to the concert. I waited and finally the fancy dress competition started. When my sister came out (I taught her how to model with the Chinese fan) , she was the only one that mesmerised the crowd as the other participants just walk,do not smile, and do not pose. She fanned out her fan which I taught her how to and posed for the judges very well. I was very excited. Some other people wore chicken outfits , sunflower, fairies but they did not posed as well as my sister.(*proud of my sis*)

She changed again and prepared for her Malay dance. In the Malay dance she did not do well as the teacher played the wrong music. The music did not have any lyrics so she couldn't know what was the next step. Not only her, the others couldn't dance well. It was a very bad show.

Anyway it was time for the results for the fancy dress competition.I was disappointed as my sis only got consolation as she didn't wore any fancy dress(silly me) but anyway she did a good job as she was very flamboyant when she posed. Oh yah, my father and bro came just after the modeling....haih they all miss out the fun part.

After that she wore the graduation robes and received her cerfiticate..Oh well, I'll miss the school(was my school last time) concert as this is the last time.The tadika block will be demolished end of this year and the staff and students will be moved to another place. All my memories will be gone.....*sob*

ps: sorry the photos are shaky as my hands were tired taking videos of people ...........
ps2:I'll post more photo later as my modem something wrong

Mission 61:1

Revive again!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful experience last night. Our church youth and college ministry held a meeting with the theme Mission 61:1 which is taken from Isaiah 61:1.
The Spirit of the Sovereign lord is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has send me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To set the ceptives release from the darkness for the prisoners........
Amen!!!!!!!
The meeting started at around 7.40 pm. Many youths were there from different churches such as First Baptist Church, Trinity Methodist Church, Good News Fellowship and many more...not forgetting out our own church Emmanuel Baptist Church. I met also met some of my old classmates and mingled among them before the meeting starts.The venue was in our church but the second night is at Good News(today 15 October) with a different theme which is FIRESTORM which is more evangelical(i spell wrongly i think)

We had an awesome praise and worship. It was exciting to see different churches coming together as one. Although it was mainly for youths, we has some unexpected guest in the older age group.(hahahaha)During the song "Rain Down" i just could feel cool waves coming down from the anointing fo God.I felt refreshed and all my burdens just left.

AND THE BEST PART OF ALL ................*drum roll*
Is the preaching........

Hahaha......most of you will say that the preaching ususally is the boring part but no this preacher is a lot way different. Pastor Chris long whom is the preacher for both nights had more than 20 years of exeperience in th youth ministry.AND HE IS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY FUNNY. He pulled out many jokes and pranks on the youths.I had stiches on my sides........can't help laughing.I feel like telling you all but jokes are pretty lengthy.I'll try the find some time. Although the theme was Mission 61:1 the pastor preach from Genesis 32:22 and onwards about the weak who are victory through christ. Th e examples through Jacob were very interesting.Jacob means liar,deceiver,manipulater....etc...He gain in life through all the method of cheating,lying and others.Then there was the time he had to run away from Laban adn he had to meet with Esau which is his number one enemy. Pastor Long said that all of us has our Esau it could be PMR, SPM,STPM ,our family....etc than we will be able to launch out in victory for God. In Jacobs story, he wrestled with God before he met his brother the next day. He wanted God to bless him.Before that, his hip was broken and he lost and still he stuggles to get the blessing.Pastor Chris said that all of us will be broken one day but in the end we will become victorious through him.If we win in the struggle, we lose in the end without God and so like wise.


At the end of the meeting, there was an altar call(praying for ppl).Once again i could felt waves after waves of anointing.So wonderful..........Then we were asked by Pastror Chris just to praise Jesus for a few minutes. You could really felt the presnece of God and freedom in him. The meeting ended with a blast with Hillsong songs.....


Those who are reading, please come tonite at 7.15 at Good News Fellowship, Grees Height, Aiport road. U'll be bless with his message. Be prepared for changes in your life.........


SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!

Tired again......but awesome yesterday

Had a fun time yesterday......

In the afternoon, my mom,sis, and I went shopping at Tabuan Jaya. It is going to be my little sis concert performance and one of the requirements is black short tights.We walk and walk and hunt for just one measly pair of shorts.The school is so dumb to give such requirements. Anyway, we manage to find it at Teck Kong.

Now to the fun part......................
We also went to the Ramadhan Bazaar. Bought many kinds of food.( i love food)Fried noodles, Keropok lekor(malay fish crackers), Batik Cake, Curry Puffs,Roti Canai(Indian bread) and many more......
I enjoyed eating them with my family.Kenyang kenyang.........( it means full in english)

During the evening I went to church for Generation 3 Band Practice. Met other members such as Jonathan, Caleb, Terence, Crystal, and Eric. For those who do not know, this band was formed last year and we've been practicing many christian songs from all around the world.It is a time for practicing, fellowship,leadership, and spending time with God. It is under the leadership of Wilson from Generation 2 Band.
Here are the responbilities of each band member:
Me: Sound System, Piano, and Keyboard
Jonathan: Vocals, Bass Guitar
Caleb: Drums
Eric: Acoustic Guitar
Terence: Vocals, Electric or bass Guitar
Crystal: Vocals
Samuel: Piano or Keyboard
Some of the song we played last night were Always and Forever, More than life and other hillsong and planetshakers songs.Quite tiring actually.We played until 10 pm++.
Anyway...i'm looking forward to next week's pratice......

To all Malaysians

Can you all do us a favour.....


On the seventeenth of October this month(2005)they'll be a broadcast on a sickly boy named Jeremy Ak Sikad on "Rancangan Bersamamu" at TV3. This boy is infected with 'JE' virus. I've known him as he comes to our church. Very pitiful indeed.The mom has to feed him thorugh a tube everyday.The boy(jeremy)almost cries everytime in church due to the pain .He had gone through many series of operations and the mom and father needs the public to help for donations to help them through.

What can we help?
-By watching the "Bersamamu channel"
-Donating through SMSes
-Following other methods to help them through the instruction on tv.There will be addresses and etc.......

Prayer Points
-To ask our Lord Jesus to heal him(he is more than willing)
-To pray for people willing to help the family
-Pray for abundant donations

It is time christians in Malaysia play a part in helping the community through charity works.
Please help.......


Please repost this to tell others....Thank you.

IT WAS SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!I study like hours and then come out all the easy question exam for Bahasa Melayu paper(Malaysian Language)grrrrrrr..............we all should sue the government for giving unecessary stress to fifteen year old students.Anway, i won't....cheerios.

About yesterday.............
I ate with the Choo family. They are from Kuala Lumpur.They came and shared in the mandarin service and the women's joy fellowship meeting.During the luncheon, i met my friends(The Choo's children)namely are Ian Choo,Sue-anne Choo, and Woon Fei. So sayang(what a pity), couldn't talk much becoz we were across each other at the 'round table'.Addition to that, i couldn't overpower the uncle's and auntie's voices if not i'll be sure to be scolded.Miss talking to them so much.

Sue-anne light up my day.She was practically chattering away with my sister and I.We talk and laugh together for an hour++.Boy, she really could laugh so much.After the luncheon, she followed us home for a treat becoz she and my sister won't be meeting each other today as she is leaving for KL(11 october).They laugh and laugh all the way home.Next, my sis and Sue-anne played "Worms World Party".......not bad for a six and eight year old.I as usual had to study for today's exam.My father then brought them to have fun at the Reservoir's Park without me(study mah).I heard they laugh and play throughout the trip.When they were tired, they all ate century eggs and drink coconut juice at a nearby stall. Lavender whom is my sis was sad when had to send Sue-anne home.

Oh well, i 'l write more later...............tata.......
