We went to Cameron Highlands since Christmas eve and came back 2 days after...Mommy loves the place badly due to the cool weather:)hmm, it's a good time for her to relax too since she is so hooked up with her work in Kelantan. So my dad decided to reward her with holidays:) Another reason was also my didi leaving to US this coming January, wanna spend some quality with him too..oh i must say this: I 'HEART' Cameron!!why?

Our cell ended Christmas Week with caroling. We were invited to go to a kindergarten at Taman Esplanade to sing some christmas songs for the kids there..We all had fun, the kids had fun and i believed God enjoyed seeing us..Rmb, Jesus loves the little children too:)

M106 cell practising some songs 1 hour just before our caroling..


But thank God the whole caroling session went well...Feliz navidad-Merry christmas:)

Ending this post with GOOD NEWS>a few SOULS were born again into God's kingdom:)i can hear angels singing in heaven, welcoming these brothers and sisters in Christ..Last Sunday was an unforgetable experience indeed. An unplanned mission for me-To reach out for the poor and needy Indians near Sunway area. How i got myself involved into this trip??Hmm.. Actually I was supposed to go back home after church service but apparently i have NO TRANSPORT home and the only mean of transport left was KTM which required me 2 hours to reach home at BJ. Being a girl who is super reluctant to walk alone to the KTM station at Subang, i approached Christine who is also a student staying at vista without a car. Just wanna see whether she wanna go home with me by KTM. And so, she asked me whether i wanna go and pray for these less fortunate people because Pastor Aik Khiam and family were going for the first time as well. And after that, pastor can send us home. Since i have nothing to do, might as well just go and open my eyes but i must say,i am NOT preprared at all what to expect there. According to Aunt Sally, the place is where drug addicts and single moms/dads staying. She told us :U might see demons being casted out, u might see rejections from some of the houses, u might see miracles performed..And a group of people has been constantly praying for them, day and night..hoping that souls are saved and let them know the goodness of knowing Him.

Horns were sounded before we start praying...

This father is left with 9 children after his wife died 2 months ago. They have just accepted Christ and when we visit them, their faces were glowing with joy..It's like having God is so great:)Aunt Marydust(woman in green outfit) lives among these unfortunate people. She could speak Tamil and English very well. That is why she could translate and communicate with the people there very well. She has big heart for the people there. Every night, she and a few mates will pray from 8pm till midnight for the people there. Eventhough she is just earning Rm500 per month, she still give give and give. And during this Christmas season, she organised gatherings for the children there in the hope of telling them about Jesus:) It's really inspiring to see how she want to serve the Lord.
Aunt Mary who is given the gift of prophesying. After explaining to the kids the real meaning of accepting Jesus into their lives, she then led them to say the sinner's prayer..

Aunt Marydust and Aunt Mary, praying for a girl who suffered from skin disease. According to them, she has recovered quite a bit compared to the 1st time they saw her. Praise the Lord:)

God is GREAT! He equipped me with smth that is my taking pics skill(though i'm not pro)!Wahaha..They were short of cameraman, and so ngam i got NO TRANSPORT home. He sent me there unexpectedly and in the same time let me feel the need for these people and i'm glad i went and could help out in smth....i'm amazed by the how the holy spirit works to bring these needy people 'home', and eternal loving home...At least when they feel devastated, they still have God to turn to and ask help from, right??

wasSup Doc: God is not fallible. He not only wants what is best for us, He knows with perfect knowledge what is best. You and me are special to Him..Rmb that! We're fearfully and wonderfully made. He knows you in and out. He understands your feelings. He is your Father. He loves you very much. God is LOVE... in this Christmas season, give your heart to Him because He first gave you His LIFE!

the HEART of CHRISTMAS

::The Heart of Christmas::

It was like yesterday when Jeremy, Li Jun and me sat together in my house discussing what we wanna do for Christmas this year. We were not sure whether to make this year's Christmas a small party celebrated by Christians only or a huge party celebrated by all IMU-nians. By God's guidance, we all came to a conclusion-LET's MAKE this BIG! Yepp, we want to make a difference in IMU! We want people to know about the true meaning of Christmas, we want people to know Him, WE WANT TO SHARE THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

After much considerations, the theme for this Christmas is -the Heart of Christmas, and the message we wanted to convey was the real meaning of celebrating Christmas, which is Christ loves us so much that He gave His life for us. It is not about gift exchange, it is not about Santa Clause, but it is about the gift given freely by God-Jesus!
I could still remember vividly when all M106 cellies came together and discuss who to take up what responsibities and i praise God for having all of you to commit yourself-Jeremy, Li Jun, Chris, Valene, Wennie, Yee Pei, Denise, Troy, Eugene, Lily, Lydia, Khek Tjian, Rachel, Sze Wei, Pui Fun, Esther, Leong and Lieo Jiun. Besides thanks abundance to those who came and help for the preparations of these events>Megala, Stephanie, Raymond, Noris, Hwei Wan, Xandie, Aditya, Phing Phing, Hui Yen, Li Shan, Thuan Zhen, Kee, ZzYun, Sue Wen, Chester, Ee Pian...Thank you for your sacrifices and thank you for all the commitments you all made. This event wont so successful without all of you:)

Girls attending Painting class....:)
say CHEEsE!! *See the wood and branches behind*

No doubt God is Jehovah Jireh- A God who provides! Jeremy came up with a brilliant idea, that is to throw a FREE lunch party at the atrium for all IMU students and staffs. We all know, IMU is a money sucking university, and it's very impossible to ask them to come out with a large sum of money for us,Christians. We needed Rm 2000 to cover the cost..true enough, God provides. On our 2nd meeting with the SAD reps, Charimaine said there are a few lecturers who are willing to contribute. SRC too were so kind hearted to give us Rm 1000. Rm2000-KAODIM! Yay, more blessings came, the owner of the cafetaria decided to bless us with food for 200 people, one of the lecturer contribute 2 turkeys, another one gave us fruits and cakes and the list goes on. So on that day we had-speghetti, mee siam, satay, nuggets, cakes, curry, turkey, ice-cream, kuih nyonya, fish balls, bla bla bla! You name it, we have it and it's totally FREE FOR ALL imu students + staffs! And it's sure the finest moment in IMU:)

Yummy yummy!!We have 2 rows of this!!

Fruits + Cupcakes + Sandwiches! Christmas Cupcakes! Contributed by Sister Teoh's daughter!Thank you!

Next up, we decided to build a stable on a stage with wood. And you should know how much wood will cost us if we were to buy and we dun have that amount of money. Straining our heads to find the cheapest wood in town, our hero-Geoffrey came to rescue! He was once a scout and it is possible for him to build one stable without any nails and from SCRATCH! And wood wise, we could loan from his old scholl and for FREE! God was with us all the time, wat we needed, He answered us immediately. We needed dry leaves and tree branches, at a split of a second, we met this uncle working in IMU and he said he could get for us as many as we want from the back yard! Another need was met!

Wood from heaven:)
our HERO-Geoffrey!
Guys buiding the stable
The builders of 'the structure'- Geoff, Bong and Kim!Thanks for the hard work guys! Well done!

The first event we had for Christmas week was a reptiles exhibition-Jingle in the Jungle. The main reason of having this event was to attract people to this exhibition and in the same time give them to fill up a puzzle which is the story of Christmas. It's more of a evangelistic event. Our aim was to sell 500 tickets which will bring us RM1500. And remember we have to pay RM 1000 to the people for bringing in the reptiles in. Apparently, we only manage to accumulate RM 1000 the day before. Kinda worried because the reptiles handlers increase the price to RM 1200 and where on earth can we find the money. But God is great!! On dat day itself, we managed to attract a huge crowd, and at the end of the day, we have RM1700! And so we paid off the reptiles handlers and still we have RM 500!!Is this coincidence? I dun think so..It's definitely by God's work! We wanted RM1500 but God gave us MORE!

The big and last event finally came-CHRISTMAS PARTY for all! We had prayer meeting the day before. We prayed that the food is enough, we prayed for crowd, we prayed that the orphans who came will have a great time, we prayed that the event will go smoothly...We had a mime with the song 'We are the reason'. We prayed that it will be a mime to touch lives, when people see it, it will not be a mere performance, but it will be a mime to tell them all of us are the reason that Jesus gave His life for..Indeed the mime moves hearts! A Malay friend of mine texted me this after the event: Thanks for the great show. I hope i can love my God like how you love yours..by seeing this, i know God is working in some people's lives who were there to witness it. I know we have done our parts well and it's now in God's care. All of us had fun that day but apart from the fun, we felt we wouldn't have made it without Him guiding us. I'm amazed by how everything has fallen into place nicely. It's definitely by God's power! And of cause, all the sacrices we made cant be compared to the sacrifice He went through...

the ORANGE tables were arranged in a cross formation!Did you notice it??

The jiejies and the orphans:) *Thanks PEI & WENNIE for organising the arts and crafts with the kids:)They sure had fun!*The casts(Drs, sisters, students & orphans) who did the Nativity play!
