M106 CeLL-by faith we GREW:)

Last week cell was really good. We talked bout faith based on the book of Hebrew chapter 11- by FAITH! Usually the message time we'll share our inner thoughts or opinions. So to make cell more interesting, Li Jun decided to do something EXTRAORDINARY!! After a short sharing of testimonies, we did something kiddy>Handicrafts!! Our cell turn into a Sunday School with 'big babies' drawing, cutting and pasting crepe papers. It was really a funny and cute moment:) Seeing small children drawing and coloring always bring excitements to me, what else seeing these big 'children' in my cell doing it, lagi syok!! Crz*Jeremy*Geoffrey-Can u imagine these 3 guys doing crafts..Muahahha!
Lieo Jiun patiently pasting his crepe papers!!Denise + Ze Wei...Girls looked more pro!
Finally, wind chimes FORMED! *Valene and Troy*
Handicraft of the day: Wind Chimes
After discussing Hebrew 11, my cellies were asked to draw out what they see in the word-FAITH on a piece of colored paper. Then they are supposed to paste crepe paper at the bottom of the artwork and roll it into a hollow tubes. So when the wind blow, you can see the crepe paper flying.
Reasons making this: we cant see God, but we see evidence of Him all around us. It's like the wind. We cant see the wind, but we can see the evidence of it when we see leaves blow ans when we feel a breeze:) That's what faith is all about!
Honestly, my group of cellies are really creative people! I'll show you some pics of their great works!!*Impressive*
Lieo Jiun with his Armor of God
Prof Wong with his Noah's Ark! Do u see the BLUE colored crepe paper? According to Prof Wong, it represents the rain which cause the flood! Isn't he creative?Logic kan..
Denise's wind chimes... EXPLAIN the isi tersirat pwease!
Pei made her windchimes in 10 mins during lecture! And being a genius, she used the crepe paper and created a 'pony tail' for all of us by sticking at our backs without us realising it!Smart!!
We celebrated Wennie's 20th birthday in cell too:)
It's really amazing how i got to know this pretty gurl. We studied SAM in the same college BUT we never meet each other. Then God put us in the same batch in IMU BUT still we never talk to each other for the whole SEM 1(6 months). So when we officially become friends? When both of us happened to volunteer in Doulos for that particular 2 weeks. That was when i got to know her better and became good friends:) God's plan is always unpredictable...
So as a cell, we are really grateful to have you as part of the cell. We prayed that God will continue to pour His blessings upon you, my dear. May you continue to walk closely with Him and acknowledge Him in everything you do. I believe He has great plans for you. Have FAITH gurl:) and keep up your sunshine SMILE:):)

wasSup Doc: My windsock..Every morning when i wake up and open my eyes, i'll see it blowing in the wind, remembering that eventhough i cant see God, i know He is real:)

RAYA break


CRAPpy CRAB!
Being a CRAB LOVER, i was craving for CRAB when i balik kampung to Seremban last week. Thanks to JEN LYE and DENISE and CHRIS for spamming my chatbox with CRAB CRAB CRAB when i was MIA.. So before i come back to this foodLESS vista, i bugged my dad to bring me for a crab feast @ Uncle Fatty Cafe!!We were super lucky to get 1kg of crab for only RM20..They were having some promotion i think..Hahahhah!! Cravings fulfilled!! Yay..

my Tired looking Papa after work.....


BBQ Crab! If my sis were around, we can easily tapao 2kg of them coz we are CRAB LOVERS! Really miss the time we used to have crab feast together in KB...Guess that now u dun have any chance to eat crab in UK right? So, faster come back la....Even my younger bro who DOESN"T fancy crab since young cant resist the temptations of the BBQ crab..Good job Gary!! U better eat as much as you can before you leave Malaysia to US!!

I'm forever daddy's gurl.....and i'm proud of that!!

1 conclusion made: NO eating crabs with FRIENDS esp your BF or GF or even normal FRIENDS. You know why? Coz eating crabs require you to suck the meat from the shells, licking your fingers and so on..U can imagine that i supposed! So it'll be a disaster and your image will be totally ruined!!In short, sorry la JenLye, guess that we wont have a chance for CRAB feast d..Mayb HOHO steamboat again...our favourite kan?

Professionals of Tomorrow(POT's)

Health Carers of Tomorrow
As promised, i'm gonna blog about the 5 days 4 nights conference i went during Raya break..a very good conference i would say...
It's organised by the FES and it was held at Peacehaven, Genting...There were around 250 participants coming from 3 different fields(Law, Education and Health care) and with 1 vision, ie. to hear God's calling and to serve the LORD our God!!
Li Jun, Jeremy and me went on the earlier bus. So 3 of us arrived Peacehaven @ 12.30pm whereas the other IMU campers arrived at 1.30pm. After registration, we had briefing, ice-breakers from different fields and followed by the opening ceremony of the camp. Our 1st day ended after meeting our small group members. The IMU-nians!!
We had to wake up as early as 6.30am for the following days. The very first events for each day was 'time alone with God'. After 30 mins of quiet time, we came together in small groups of 7 and shared about a particular question prepared. I enjoy this session very much because i'm very encouraged by the testimonies and miracles God has done in our lives personally. Fortunately, my group members are very open and were more than willing to speak up what they think. My small group-Joanne,Siew Leng, Adelene, Cheryl, Angie, Jemrin and Jun Jet!
Adai-adai Rox!!!Btw, Adai-Adai is the name of a dance in Sabah!!Thanks for your inner sharing guys:)

The nest session would be 'Summary and News'. The most interesting part!!Ok, basically this is the time when our coordinator,Kim Cheng will announced what had happened the previous day. Formal + Informal news! For instance, the first day we had not enough food, so she told us there were people going table to table begging for food and they were tiny size girls! Another funny incidence was when a guy from UKMKL BEGGED their seniors who was on their way up to bring FOOD due to the great shortage of food up here. So Kim Cheng announced it and asked a Rep to come on stage to claim the Milky Choc!Super hilarious! Nice pictures were shown on the screen everday during this session and if u're lucky u might be in the story for the news as well. So far, Li Jun topped the news for 3 days consecutively!Wahahhaha.....PoPuLaR d!! One of the news was 'Trying to take back barang bukan Kepunyaannya'.
Shhhhh, Li Jun trying to take smth home again. 1st the 'i' light and now the board...Haih..my dear cell leader!!This was one of the news she made!


The MANly game that made Li Jun Topped the news again!

Jun Jet(Guy in BLUE) was the Superstar who went on stage and claimed the Milky Choc!!Sharing is Caring ma:):)


Then we had worship session followed by theme talk which is 'Bible Expositions on Nehemiah' by Bishop Hwa Yung. He talked about the personality of Nehemiah, who gave up his comfy job as the King's cupbearer and decided to go back Jerusalem to rebuild the broken wall despite all the oppositions he faced. He was very inspiring because as he spoke, you could feel the Uuhm from him. His speech was strong and kinda stern, encouraging us to take up the challenge and follow the steps taken by Nehemiah. The courageous step of coming out from our comfort zone and serve the Lord though we faced lots of oppositions from different areas. M106 Representatives!!We're missing in action!!
After lunch, we had MIA(Missing in Action) which gave us a chance to come face to face with issues as a Malaysian. 1st day we had Missing gRACE- Talking bout the injustice faced by the Races other than Malays. Participants are encouraged to speak up about the thoughts or experiences encountered. 2nd day we had Missing Voice- It's about we Malaysian are reluctant to speak up. We just keep quiet and let the injustice continue. As we walked into the hall, we were asked to fill in forms and vote. Something like role play of what is happening in Malaysia, the way voting is done, the long queue, the rude staffs and so on. Quite dramatic but it's all the truth! 3rd day was Missing Presence- statistics shown the increasing number of broken families in Malaysia. Most of them are due to the parents who are so occupied with their work and abandoned their children at home.

Missing Presence--U can make a different!

Dr Richard Loh who came all the way from Penang to give a talk.

We then had workshops. Eg: Communicating with people at worksplace, coping as a student, alternative careers- Academia and government service, social issues and concerns. It's something like a talk actually with speakers from different fields. After that, we had games! The games were very interesting. They were very creative. for instance, we played 3 legged futsal, ping pong soft ball and dodge ball!! And at night we had plenary,conducted in 3 different professionals tracks but similar focus covering vision & calling, ethnics in our professions and staying the course amidst the challenges!!


Ping pong soft ball!!

That'a about what we did for the past 5 days. Everyday was a very challenging day on how God has spoken personally to me. They emphasized on God's calling for everyone of us. We were taught to understand and obey God's heart and mind for our lives and for the world we are called to serve.

In this present time, we, the young generations are so reluctant to work for the government. Excuses like the pay is low, we are rated as second class, we will be bullied due to our skin color etc. I myself have this kind of thought and since i stepped into IMU i have decided to go overse and finish my degree and of coz work there if possible. But after this conference, i realised Malaysia is my home, a country that needs me to come back, to serve the needy people here, a country which can be my mission field and ultimately bring glory to God. It seems too far fetch but this matter struck me quite deeply. Though i cant commit myself now but i told God, if He wants me to come back and serve, i dont mind..I'll surrender so His will be done instead of mine:) Dr David G(one of our speaker) once said 'We dont become rich intentionally, we become rich incidentally'

Kelantan representatives-Angie & Sze Yin(my senior in Chung Hwa).God is great. We never talk to each other during our school days but we know each other looks familiar and were from the same school!


We're HOT!!!

wasSup Doc: The absence is too obvious, the silence is too loud! The Lord of the nations, is the Lord of every place, every people, every tongue and every tribe. What is God's call for you, as a generation? Think about it...

He gave us light unto our feet NOT a crystal ball to our future..

Jeremy*Angie*Linda*Wei Lin*Suzanne

Then my dear WeiLin started to talk about this personality test so called Jung Typology. And so after dinner, they headed to my place and all of us started doing this test. Apparently the results of this test really explain your personality. So true that can freak u out. If u're interested, click here..Then at the end of the test, u'll get a four alphabets combination. Just google it.Eg:EFSJ personality. Then read up your personality. If u still wanna know more, talk to WeiLin, she'll tell u more!!Muahahha..No harm giving a try right?

Heading off to Seremban this evening. Wish me safe journey:) Can't wait to manja-manja with my daddy there:):)
