Thai Camp - Part 3

Praise and worship during the Thai Camp was good, especially the musician! But frankly, i did not enjoy as much as I suppose to be though, because most of the songs are in Thai. I 'mai kau cai' most of the time. Nevertheless, whenever I dunno the songs, I would just clap hands and rejoice with the people .... because we were worshipping our God!

We'll continue to improve in our skill and worship our God in spirit and in truth!

Thai Camp - Part 2

I had a wonderful camp cause it was after almost 5 years (the last Thai Camp I joined was in 2002), I finally come to visit my 'grandmother' church again! Why grandmother? Because I consider Hope JB my mother church mah! haha

Because I have been in Hope movement for quite sometime and was so blessed always able to be imparted the biblical principles and our Vision & Philosophy, the teachings and preachings were really great reminder and reflection of my life and action! There's nothing new, but it was so refreshing listen to our elders and leaders sharings!

I couldn't be more amazed by the quality of the camp. From children church, performances, worship team, hospitality, multimedia (Hope TV) and even Hope Games. It has gone up several notches .... that's why I mentioned to Ps. Prakich, that for our Euro Convention, we need to strive for excellence in every aspects! The opening ceremony and the 'Mission Possible' night was spectacular. Their costumes, the backdrops, the music arrangement, the singing, the story plots, the lightings .... wish you were all there to see all those!

Some of the impacting and inspiring quotes to me this camp are:

• being peace-filled means it is not the absence of problem, but it is the presence of God
• if we don't want to trust God fully, don't trust at all
• Many people want the peace of God, joy of God, wisdom of God, but they don't want the God of joy, God of peace and God of wisdom.
• God's mission will not be a hard burden if we have heart burden
• Faith turns dreams into reality

7 years ago, I broke my leg!!

Today, I was looking through the old photo albums that my parents kept for literally every single occasion since we are born. I am surprise to find the photo when my parent n Yin Jin came all the way to JB to visit me, because I broke my leg!

How did i break my right leg? I remembered clearly, it was my 1st visitation together with Tze Hing (my coursemates) during my second year. I used to go with senior like Kok Chai (shepherd) or Jau Chai (CGL) or Yee Kan (ACGL). But that night, me and Tze Hing really wanna go visit on our own. It was the first time we did so. So he brought me on his motorcycle, and went in to Kolej 3 (where we stayed during our first year). After we visited several juniors and presummably a fruitful night, we decided to call it a day. Just as I tried to ascend a small cliff (about 1 meter tall), i slipped and my leg hit the ground. The pain was intense, I couldn't even stand up for few minutes. Eventually, when I was better, Tze Hing sent me home. When i reached the doorstep, I just lied there for 1 hour cause it was too painful to move, until my housemates came back. Immediately, they brought me to a chinese "tukang urut" where he rubbed my ankle with such strength until I cried.

Nevertheless, after that, i thought it was gonna be alright. For a week, the pain was there still. So went back to tukang urut again: rubbeb, pain and cried. It continue for another week, then I cannot stand and dad advised me to go visit a specialist. Lo n behold, the specialist told me that my ankle bone had fracture and I had to be operated immediately. Panic, I called my dad to ask what to do ... he said just go ahead with the operation and he would come over to JB from Kch immediately to sort out the payment. I was all alone in the hospital then ... so I called my CG and told them I would be operated now! It was a shocking news to all. But they said they would be praying for me.

I was pushed in the operation theatre and ............. when I woke up, I saw brothers and sisters from CG came and visited me! Followed by my parents and sister! I was soooo soooo touched! Since then I know, beside my natural family, I had my spiritual family who care for me as well! I stayed in hospital for 1 nights and I was discharged. Received lots of care and corcerns during the period of time!

Just some side notes:

• A screw (15cm) and a metal (25cm) were put inside my right leg to secure the bones
• I was on plaster for 3 months. The screw and metal remaind for another 3 months.
• On the third month, I started driving again while on plaster n clutches.
  

With plaster n clutches. It was during my 2nd year in UTM, so i was quite slim in size!

Hope London Alumni

Hope London had the priviledge to disciple many students throughout these years. But, because of the difficulty in securing a job that provide you with work permit, most of them have to leave UK to go back home. Nevertheless, the advancement in internet really pull us together even more ... the world is getting so much smaller!

This time round, beside meeting Michelle and Susie (last time Hope Glasgow) in KL; Leanne (Hope London student group - came to London few months later than me), in Thai Camp, i manage to meet up with P'Pae, P'Wan, Jean and Tu. It is always a joy able to see each other again after a period of time! Oh yeaa ... i met Connie and Shereen (last time Hope Glasgow) during Thai Camp as well.

In Singapore, CN, Yi Ting, Ai Ai and KK were the usual suspect I meet when visiting there. Of all surprise, Yoppy came as well! Upon looking at him ... again it proved there's a 'myth' of 'like shepherd like sheep'. I can't believe that how Yoppy has ballooned up (the other cases were Kenny and Yanjie). All those who are slim and light, come to me for I'll give you fat! hahahah

Tu, P'Pae, me and Jean

Ai Ai, Yoppy, Yi Ting, CN and me
KK and me
Yoppy and me. He gained weight rite??

Thai Camp - Part 1

I'm now back in Kuching .... after Thai Camp, Singapore (1 night) and JB (1 night). There's so many things I can share, but i'll do it slowly in blog!

Lots of photos as well .... Let me start with the famous 'delicary' of Thailand! Don't misunderstand, Thai people don't really eat these .... it's just some minority who eat these and tourists. I can't tell you what are these ... it's just gross and disgusting :P






After looking at the above ugly photos, let me show you some nice photos with handsome and pretty people! :D

This Thai Camp, beside of its theme of 'Peace-Filled church', i really enjoyed a fun-filled camp as well together with all brothers n sisters in Christ! I also really so blessed to be in 'An Eating Church', where we would just eat and fellowship!
