Aaron's currently very into photography. He even has a photoblog (2 entries only la but still!). He was pick-pocketed on the way back from the gathering via KTM. He lost his phone. =( Go check out his blog ya.

Contrary to popular belief... Gary has not graduated. Ah ha. He's decided to do his Masters in Cyberjaya instead.


eh ownself take or i took wan?
looks like camwhoring. =P


Geng Yi still hasn't found a job, actually. He's freelancing at the moment.


still the same,
but i guess you guys knew d la.



kereta still quite bergaya


There's a picture of Grace on Aaron's blog. It's watermarked so I shall not attempt to steal. Heh. Geng Yi and Grace have taken their wedding photos. Can't wait for the wedding!

Juliana and I are staying in PJGH and I think we're getting along alright with the church peeps. I think la. 3rd week only. =P


always beside food =P

Picture of Li Lian also in Aaron's blog, in the same link as the one with Grace. Li Lian's still at Inti College in Nilai, doing Marketing. Her hair is still very nice. T_T

Sherene is still doing her ACCA in Inti College in Nilai . Read her blog to be updated ya. ACCA is a really tough course, so she needs our prayers and support. She's currently attending Nilai GC, where the youth don't turn up for youth because they help out in Sunday School. So she goes for the Bible Study instead. Well done!


eh?


sorry, stephen. focus is on sherene. =P


Sin Lan is graduating from Food Science and Nutrition next year. Still in Cheras, and still with we-know-who. =D Sin Lan's having her finals this week. So pray for her.




Sin Yee is... eh you guys should know better la! Anyway, she came up to get formal clothes from Sin Lan for her upcoming convo this month. Coming down to see you soon! Hang in there and don't get bogged down by the stress of the lack of manpower!

Timothy is currently doing his IT course internship in KL. His superiors don't trust the interns with the programming work. "So what do you do at work?" "Play Solitaire." You get the idea. He's not jumping with joy over the work, so pray for him. Been there 2 months. 2 more months to go!

I still remember that family picnic where he did all sorts of goofy things. I think that was the moment it was placed in our hearts that we would never forget Timothy Keong.


hair and all changed d


tim's sweeping-coin-off-table-to-make-it-disappear-trick



audience that looks more amused than amazed


tim's make-a-coin-appear-out-of-nowhere-trick
*note lilian's expression*


cukup! cukup! tolong berhenti!
*note lilian's expression*


Isn't it great how some things just don't change? =D


Wei Jin officially became a fresh grad on Saturday! He's now looking for a job in KL because the telecommunications job is not available in Malacca. He'll be fetching Daniel from the airport next week. =)


wei jin yang selamba


Yik How was also here although he was supposed to be in Malacca. Ah ha. Geng Yi said: "Seeing you two here makes me think I'm in Malacca." Yeah, it does. =)

As usual, we had to end the gathering with something out of the norm.

There was a sudden craze (by Sin Lan) to snap a photo of everybody's student card.


yik how offered his IC but was rejected cuz tak cukup umur


Then somehow Sin Lan and Sherene got infected by my disgusting eating habits and started to do something cool with the icecream sundae someone left behind (so wasteful).




added water.


Chen Li didn't come because.... SHE WAS IN MALACCA! ISH FROM ALL OF US! ...and then... *sob* =(

I didn't ask CK to come because he might be busy with work these days, and if he did want to come, I didn't want him to be feeling guilty or regretful if he couldn't make it due to fatigue. Sorry, CK! It's for your own good. T_T

Jun Yi couldn't come because he was having some friends over. He's free every other weekend though. Hurrah! He has to travel quite a distance to work, and so he has to wake up really early everyday. Pray for him.

Kevin had to bring his parents for a tour around KL because they were here for his convo on Sunday. "Aiyo... timing so bad wan..." said Kevin.

Sharonne... well... ask me personally. Ah ha.

Tse Shuen - er - ask me personally also. =P She has an exam this Thursday, and an assignment to hand in. Er actually she has a test and an assignment to hand in EVERY WEEK. Plus she has a thesis to complete. Pray for her.

You know what? Excluding Sin Yee, Wei Jin and Yik How, and including the absentees, we actually have 17 of us here in KL. We can really start a weekly Bible study in Geng Yi's house or something. =P

Malacca doesn't feel so far away with 1/3 of the Malaccan church here in KL. ^_^"

But then it must be hard on the "remnants" back home.

We're coming home this 23rd.

Kita serbu Melaka.


Wait for it!

Mid term, Mid term... ^ ^

Hehehe... Holidays are great... If they just remain as relaxing, time-wasting, not-doing-anything kinda holiday... Hehehe...
But I'm gonna update a lil on the J.U.I.C.E nite... (although i dun know how much update it has been)
Hmm... Let's see... I had my first practice with the Youth on Sunday... Erm.. Yesterday... It was good... Like wat Yen said in her blog... It was in "flow"... Which is good... And uhm... I didn't bring the bass but they did a lil music training... Which was also good... Jess picks up pretty fast... Syabas... ^ ^ Yen also was like, quite pro ad... Hehehe... It seems like, I'm not needed d... T.T Jess and Yen were already pretty good... T.T sedih... Then, some of the youth already invited some of their frens... Quite a number of them said, KIV... So, continue to pray for that... And i mean, if u (yes, U) are reading this, stop for awhile from reading this post (yes,this post) and pray for the attendance k? Hehehe... Really hope the turn out will be good... And the most important part is that, they get the message... Also, pray for Uncle Philip... Cause he's gonna be the messenger... ^ ^ Woot woot... Well, come to think of it, I think Uncle Philip is the best of the best choice to reach out and give them the message... Hehehe... But still, we (youth) need to bring our frens for him to give them the message rite? No ppl, how to reach out to them rite? ^ ^ Ahahaha... Ahem...

So, the schedule is sumthing like dis... (I think)
7.15 : Arrival of "Guests of Honour" (our frens la...)
7.30 : Sings-per-ation (no idea how it's actually spelled T.T)
7.50 : A block of ice that needs breaking... Literally? Hehehe..
8.10 : Then onwards i'm not sure d.... But we have some games to "kamcheng"-kan our ppl, then got message.. And then got fellowship... Then ahem... Clean Up~~!!!

Hm... That's actually wat we planned and all la.. I dun think i left out anything... If i do, let me know, or er.. edit this post ba... ^ ^ Ahahaha...

Oh ya, a lil extra... After church yesterday, we went and play badminton... I ditewaskan oleh Auntie Angelina and Auntie Kim... Come to think of it, 1 is like Angelina Jolie and the other is like Kim Possible... And i lost to them THRICE.... Can u imagine that? Thrice? And while I was playing with the aunties, Yen and Teng were like clapping hands for the aunties... And laughing all the way... I still can remember that day... Ahhh.... Wat a day... ^ ^ Still, it was fun...

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.
