2 days of Thai Camp already....

Before i travelled 6 hours to Khon Kean in the Friday night, Benny and Tor (leader for Impact ministry in the E region) brought me to visit ABAC University. This is the university where P'Pae, Jane, Tu studied in. This is an international university, therefore there have students from China, Korea, Japan and all around the world. Their campus is unbelievabily pretty; even have 2 shopping mall in the campus.

In the evening, met up with some of the international students n their leaders to travel to Rompo Mansion (a place where all hope international delegates will 'transit' before travelling to Khon Kean). While walking from Hope Place, it rained heavily! We were forced to take shelter for an hour. While taking shelter, the thai sisters managed to evangelise to an old lady staying around. So inspiring! :D

Arrived at Rompo, saw many many many familiar faces: Ps. Kwong Lie, Kee Loong, Kar Weng, Tung Chai, Shereen, Connie, Sue Mian .... Hope KL, Hope S'pore, Hope Penang, Hope Kch ... etc! On the way to Khon Kean, I decided to stay with Ps. Kwong Lie and gangs! It was so great to catch up with them!

While at the camp, I spent most of my time with E Region brothers and sisters: Pui, Ju, Tu, Tong, Blue, Eiji, Carrie .... and some of those who only manage to join one day: Rocky, Fairy, Man, Fay etc. I met up with Hope London Alumni, P'Pae and P'Wan! The most surprising would be Jean ... she came all the way right after alighting from Hong Kong to join this round of camp. She had joined 1st round already .. n this round she came to meet me! So touched! :D N I mean Kjell-magne, Usha (my good friend from Hope Oslo) and their baby, Mirna! :D SUrprise surprise

Anyway .. had lots of amazing food! I ate DURIAN at the night market (disappointingly, no smell and not much taste!).

Time to sleep .. before i sleep, i'll upload the photos :P

Lovely lovely Bangkok ...... i'm back again!

It was 4 years ago, the last time I stepped onto the soil of Siam, also for Thai Camp! It is so nice to be back ... the friendliness, the amazing food, the traffic jam ... the language i still dun really understand except a few phrases! :D

OoOo before Bangkok, in LCC airport, I managed to meet up with Susie :D She purposely came early to airport to meet me, (her flight is 4pm in the afternoon). I'm really touched lor!

Susie (in her new hairstyle) and me at LCCT. She treated me McD breakie!

The new Bangkok airport is gigantic! From where the plane embark, we needed to take a bus for 5 minutes to go to immigration counter. The interior is full of steel and concrete. Nevertheless, the airport was good!

I was met by Benny and Pom. These 2 wonderful brother of E Region (P'Pae's region) really go extra mile in taking care of me! I'm so blessed to be the only representative from Hope London. They drove me to Benny's house where I will be spending a night in. Then they treated me lunch at WorldCentre of Thai+Chinese meal! After meal, we walked around the shopping complex. It was way bigger than One Utama! So big until I so tired to walk :P After this, we went to Pantip Plaza, a IT mall, equivalent to SimLim of Singapore or LowYatt of Kuala Lumpur! In the end, it was Benny and Pom who shopped rather than me!

In the evening, I had dinner with Benny's family (mum, brother, sister and his cousin). I was an wonderful dinner - sharing about our testimony. After dinner, i watched 12 Monkeys on HBO, while chatting to Benny more about ministry! After that, here am I, updating my blog while chatting to Ah Sam n Anita on msn :D

This is Pom ... know what! He is a drummer! AND, he's gonna come to London in September this year to study in Mdx Uni in Hendon! Praise God! Prayer answered! :D This is Benny! Staying in his luxurious house in city centre! So blessed!
The lunch that we had - more to come!! :D

In KL ... (Wed)

On Wed, I woke up at 4am .... tot of watching the live match of Man U vs Milan, while preparing myself to go to airport at 5am to catch the early AirAsia flight to KL. I was lazy ... so allowed myself to sleep till 4.30am. Good thing that Man U won 3-2. Went to Kch airport at 5am ... apparently i'm the 6th person checked-in. As long as you check in 45 min before departure time, you are safe. No need 2 hours before departure time. In airport, met a long-lost scout friend, Siaw Fong (is a he :p). We chatted alot, especially asking where's everybody! Most of them married liao! Will arrange to meet up when i come back from Thai Camp.

In KL, was particularly glad that able to meet up with Leanne, Alicia and Michelle. Leanne has mature alot since she left London, and obviously very pretty now as well. Leanne brought me to SS2 for roti canai, then went over to Salvation bookstore. I grabbed hold of a Strong Concordance, the last one they have! It's big and heavy, but it's cheap! :D Then Leanne and I went over to One Utama ... big big shopping centre! She shopped (i did not) .. while i accompanied her! Met up with Alicia and we went for steamboat :D No photos .. coz there are taken with Alicia's camera.

After parting company with Alicia, we went to Low Yatt to meet up with Michelle! She's slimmer now and prettier! I say this not because she treated me Sushi KinG! ahaha It was a pity only can meet for dinner coz I went on to City Harvest KL to attend a Rob Thomson seminar. The church is seriously YOUNG! I feel really really old in the church. The pastor is only 31 years old .. and i think the average age of the church is 21 years old! Anyway, in the span of 6 years since pioneered, now City Harvest KL is 1000 strong.

After the seminar, went to my aunty's place in USJ to bunk in for a night! So glad to see the whole family.. especially my 2 chubby cousins! Forgot to take photos with them .... the 10 years old cousin weight about 60-70kgs! Heavy ler!

Home in Kuching

For those in London who faithfully checking my blog .. very sorry that I have not updated it since i come back to Kuching 5 days ago. It's not that the internet is slow at home, nor i'm so busy ... I am just lazy! :D I will not have any photos for this entry ... coz all photos are in my laptop (now using the pc at home).

Anyway ... since I was back last Friday, I have eaten kolomee (3 times), laksa (twice), ice kacang, kueh chap, tomato kueh tiaw, rojak, chicken rice .... haha! Discovered that Kuching has lots of new eating places. In span of 5 days as well, met many friends: high school classmates, church mates, friends; also knew many news: friends got married, going to have kid .. all those married n have kid one are same age as me.

Kuching itself has changed a lot as well ... many many many new vacant shoplots (really wonder who's gonna buy them), drivers are more ruthless (including me), more funky eating places, living expanses are much higher ....

Glad to be home for a while ... coz I'm too free :P

Will be flying to KL tomorrow and follow by Thailand the day after. so will be away for 10 days. High possibility will not be updating my blog! But i'll try to take lots of photos! I've got my digital camera .. it's my dad's camera!~ Also Canon Ixus but better model! Thank God!

Hope you all are well! :D
