Updates from over here

Who says I can't update this blog if I'm not in Malacca? Nyeh nyeh. (mgc-ians: nie ada CDO* nie. tak leh lepaskan mgc blog.)


I survived Faculty Orientation and am fostering good relationships with my roomies, Chelsea and Liverpool. Still church-hunting.


yeah, there's beauty in the uni if a law student can stop for
awhile in the brief 3 minutes it takes to get to the faculty.


Went out with Ju and Sis in the 3rd week I was here. Both Ju and I still feel like strangers in PJGH. The feeling's even stronger for Ju, since I've only been there once. =P We both agreed that our problem lies in the old mindset that ministries will come to us the way they did in MGC. We're neither in MGC nor at home anymore, and that's what we have to come to truly realize before we can be fruitful here in KL, whatever church we may come to attend. Sis has almost the same problem, except she has narrowed down the list of churches.


ju's ok. and back home in malacca. -_-"
we attended pjgh once.
attending life chapel next week.


sis has an exam on monday. pray for her!


Beng Hui and Yoke Woon took me and Ju out for lunch a day after Sis took us out. No pictures. =( They looked happy. Heh. Beng Hui showed us the company he was working at (Smith & Nephew, if you remember the sms he sent some time ago. twas another name on the building though.). Looks good. Ah haha.

Went to Petaling Jaya GH with Ju on Sunday. Met Geng Yi and Grace there, so we followed them back and lunched after the service. No pictures as well. =( =( You guys should be pretty updated with Geng Yi's news right? Geng Yi's found a job, and it's pretty flexible, much like his last one with the project basis thing.

Went with Dad and Sis to a wedding today. Met Stephen there!


tak ubah-ubah kan? haha.


Stephen is now doing a more comfortable and less dangerous job. Job 1: Climbing up buildings. Job 2: Ordering people to climb up buildings. He's happy and after a hot white chick. If we all know Stephen, we know the white chick is neither a baby chicken or a grown woman. Go figure.

Haven't met Kevin, but Stephen says he's being bombarded with job offers, but he's not taking them because he has his eye on Singapore. He's hanging on to some offers though, so pray for the right decision-making.

CK's very busy working with Samsung. He sounds tired when he talks to sis on the phone. (how i know? ish, aku memang hebat.) Stephen says he hasn't heard from CK for quite some time. Pray for him ya.

Daniel's bombed with assignments, and complains of mosquitoes. ^_^" Make it a point to ask Jessica about him ya.

I haven't met Sin Lan, Sherene, Sharonne, Li Lian, Aaron, Rebecca and Chen Li, but I hope they're doing fine. Plus Chen Li has her blog, right? Go read and be updated ya. And yeah, she's Malacca-ing too. Ish.

Geng Yi's organizing a meet with the youths who've been taken by the vile place (KL) at Midvalley, hopefully on 9 August (Saturday). Unless it's been changed. Ah ha. This serves as an announcement to all in KL as well. Geng Yi says to confirm your presence as soon as possible. =)

That's all from over here.

I should be going back to Malacca on 15 August, unless I fail to obtain a bus ticket. (bummer) Sis, Ju, Geng Yi, and I will be around for the J.U.I.C.E. event.

Little note: It's difficult to choose between our home church and our local church. The impact of that decision isn't so obvious right now because MGC has so few major events. Should MGC have an event or two each month, I'd say our ministry here in KL would be blown to bits. We really need discipline to choose what the Lord has decided as the best for us here. To gain that discipline, we need your prayers and support. There's no reason why an MGC-ian should become a pew-warmer just because he/she is no longer in MGC.

Our mission here is to serve the Lord where we are, to pray for MGC, and to gain the skills we need to bring back to MGC once we're done here. Your mission is to serve the Lord where you are, pray for and with us, and to persevere, dealing with the empty seats and lack of manpower that comes with our absence.

Be with them when they're there, and bring them back when they're done.

-Yen, during prayer meet-

(bet you don't remember you said that. heh.)


Let's admit that we both need prayers, and let's begin to pray for each other.

We know it's difficult for you guys back there. Just hang on ya. Make sure every single person is involved and welcome in the church. Encourage each other!

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another—
and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24, 25


Update the blog more la!


*i have CDO - it's like OCD only the letters are in alphabetical order like they should be. Hee. Lame joke. OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder, btw.
