I’m AweSTRUCK

 

Nearing my big day….

many says i have lost pounds
some say it will be the most stressful time of my life.. (i agree. Thank God it’s only once a lifetime!)
i am truly busy with lots of planning, designing, and other stressful major and patty stuffs
i’m also juggling it with my assignments and master subjects
i have datelines to worry, and datelines to set
i have lots of things to prepare for the shifting of house
loads of cleaning and scrubbin to be done at new premises
appreciation gifts, little here and there(s) are costly $$

my list can go on.. and BORE YOU!

BUT still i’m awestruck! Last wednesday i preached in my church about the worth of serving God and that is JOY! A common word that we discount it’s worth and take it for granted. We minimize the limits of joy many a times

But at this juncture of life, season and time. I found the Joy of God has been more that just it has been my STRENGTH. It sustained me through my long-list of , listed above.

My joy came in terms of speedy recovery from flu, people being a BLESSING and Providence from God, warehouse sales, mega sales all contributed to us being able to get our necessities for the shiftings.

The most amazing thing is that God worked for me every single detail of my big day. God helped in terms of idea for designing, the right location to call up to book, the place to look for the gifts and stuffs we need, providing people to bless us in many ways (financially, materially, skill, ideas, manpower).

I’m awestruck SO AWESTRUCK how REAL GOD can actually be. He was not like some magician that with a fling of his wand everything was perfect-that’s fantasy. BUT he was WORKING with me through the whole process and its a great comfort to know the God of the universe is part of the working team. What is there to be worried??

As the days unfolds, i am seeing that all that i ever dream of for my BIG DAY it’s actually coming true. A Dream Come True. I’m not the richest girl on the planet, if you know me i’m just an average student, serving God full time…. but still at the end I’m receiving so much I can’t count. So much with all my dreams and fantasy in it too!!! God truly knows the desires of our heart. And though so much has been received, everything has been only at a reasonably low cost!!.. Though i may not be the richest but my God of the universe owns evrything and he blesses His children RICHLY!!

Serving God is worth it….. cos’ nothing can compare to that JOY which makes God SO SO REAL in my LIFE!

 

I can lie and go back to bed knowing my dreams will come true, because God holds my DREAM & He is REAL!

Youth Camp 2009

I’ll walk you through the story with pictures…

Sounds interesting???

 

Ok it was a 4 days 3 nights camp at Dusun Eco, Bt. Tinggi.

Well to me the venue was really “back to nature” especially for the toilets.. they really almost reached the “back to nature standard” LOL.. not complaining but YES there’s a froggie in the toilet, big black lizards (they jump), snails, lots of insects and erm…. a huge long milipede – ok non of these creatures are deadly, so that’s good but they are FREAKY. Especially if you have to bath with them or brush your teeth with them. Adding to the company is the freezing cold mountain water that could send chills up your spines…

OK I HOPE I SCARED YOU!!!! WAHHAHAHAHAH evil laughs…….

Upon reaching the foothill of the campsite, we were FORCED to climb and work our butt muscles up to the campsite. Thank God the luggages were transported by a jeep. I wish i was part of the luggages.

Ok so yee hah…. here we go up and up the hill… (please forgive the poser in the third picture)

Alright we all reached up safely with some muscles tonned.. hopefully! And after a short brief we had games (GAMES THAT HURT OUR BUTTS EVEN MORE!!!!!) what!!!????? is this a boot butt camp???

 come on SPLIT!!!!

   Oh Boy! More POSERS!!

YEAP!!! THAT IS A SPLIIIIT!!

But however those amazing splitters did not win the game. My team led by MR. CHRIS CHIN of Team Roti Ikan WON!!

We may not be able to split our legs but our brain and strategy power made it!!! SORRY I’M BRAGGIN….

 

This is the game that burned our butts!! Burned because we had to move from one end of the scorching cement floor to the other end on our BUTTS!! ouch ouch.. I feel the pain and the muscles cramps so badly I decided one picture of this game ordeal is more than enough for anyone to picture the scenario 20 mortal humans had to endure.

LOOK AT THEIR EXPRESSIONS!!! Poor thing

 

NEXT NEXT  Please…. Ahh.. yes LEGS.. LEGS.. beautiful legs.. look at my team parading their legs. And look at that “ON YOUR MARKS” pose…. SWEET.. look look at how they speed away together as a team of bread and fishes…… lol

 

 

 

By the pool alone…. then God saw that it was not good for the woman to be alone so he sent… ADAM  LIONEL!!!

 

And God Multiplied filled the waters of the pool with……..

 

Throughout the camps activities and games were competed between 3 teams. The Faith Team, The Flame of the Bush Team and TEAM Roti Ikan (MY TEAM!!).

We had to compete in a cheer, a skit and games. For the cheer we had to do it 3 times and the the revised version of our unconventional team won First Placing. As for the skit, my team we did a modern day Jonah skit. I have to SALUTE my team mates. They were astoundingly amazing in the skit. It was like they perfectly suited the characters of the skit. It was hilarious, yet the message was clear. I have done this exact skit with other groups from other places but i must admit Roti Ikan was the best team i worked with!!! HURRAY guys!!

Please welcome the Roti Ikan TEAM!!

 

MS. Daredevil …..

I did the hanging bridge, flying fox and a rainy jungle trekkin……. i still came out alive and well!

See the sun glass??? hahaha it is so that no one will know if I closed my eyes or not, as long as i keep SMILING! lol

 

Not forgetting the God-sent VIP of the camp. Rev. Chris Pak!

He’s so sensitive to the needs of the teens. I admired his teaching and the way he connected and reached out to a generation that is like so apart from his. Well at the end of the camp, the teens were like his buddies. Oh yeah, he did the flying fox too!!

 

Okay!!! There’s alot more of the camp… but due to time I have to keep it short and sweet….

Go Sword Squad!!

SUNDAY.. ARGHHH WOKE UP WITH A RED EYE on the right eye… sighs down with sore eye……

Week two was stressful yet the happenings in the week did bring some relief :~

Monday I tried to get enough rest for the family dinner in the evening but eyes did not really cooperate much.. it watered and watered….

Wednesday was the day we went to Cyberview Lodge to check out the place….YEAH!! finally prayer answered. He provided us an award winning garden… Truly he gives and takes away all for a better plan!! 

Thursday, shopping for dresses with the Kay Renn, Yuli, Wai Chi, and Eang Bee…..YEAH YEAH!! Double blessing cos’ now I don’t have to worry about their dresses! Another Big Relief

ooooh but Friday came and eyes hurt even more. Went to doc again for a change of medication cos’ the first medication did not seem to work very well.. sighs..

Saturday, woke up.. *gasp*GOSH. BOTH EYES were red.. the virus must have spread in the night to the left eye.

And Sunday came, swollen, extremely painful and teary. My already small eyes looked even smaller now. NO!!! Then after the service, one of my member who also had sore eyes said he dripped the eye drop every hour and it helped his eyes clear faster. So I decided to be my own doc and started dripping the drops every hour …… GUESS WHAT!!!???

I could sit up the whole afternoon and finisg my assignment without the slightest pain or teary eyes. And best of all the swelling went down, pain got tremendously lesser, and my eyes came back to its normal size..

 

How would I evaluate the holidays????!!????!!

 It was everything but DULL

Yup Thats Bout It!!

The Flying Factor

Yesterday I spent an awesome time up in the cool mountains of genting highlands.

Genting Highlands, rightly called the ‘City of Entertainment’ is a commercial place but definitely worth a visit. The locals call it the Las Vegas of Malaysia, it’s does not really live up to the name, but yes, it’s the only place where gambling is legal. Perched 1800 m above sea level, Genting boasts of some awesome rides in their outdoor and indoor theme park. As we moved higher up the hill, it got really cold and misty. The road leading to Genting is scenic with lush rain forest on either side but mostly it was covered by the thick fog and mist which makes visiblity leval decline to almost only a few metres.

Okay the whole thing about this post is Mainly to describe my palm sweating, freaky and an adrenaline-pumping-to-the-max experience, i had when I made that decision to cage myself horizontally in mid-air and go plunging down, turning cockscrews, swinging round the bend in mid air-”HORIZONTALLY” in what they call it the FLYING COASTER

How did i get myself to do it???? HOW?? Well this is how. I have a boyfriend who loves thrills dumbly. Why i say dumbly because he would not rationalize before getting on the ride, NO MATTER HOW FREAKY IT IS. He would just enthusiastically, excitedly get on a thrill ride and PLUNGE. And it is after he has plunged then only his mind will go ” Oh God why did i Do this??” but as we know is too late by then.. So there he goes… screaming and shouting and yelling out of fear, shock, excitement, fun and everything you can mention. [taking deep breaths] i just find that part of my boyfriend adorable and weird. Well okay with that brief intro about that boyfriend of mine, so with him so implusive about going onto that Flying Coaster, he managed to influenced me up that ride too. I am usually not this type. I would watch people take the ride, analyze the danger, the risk, stand there watching a little longer to try get over the fear but usually end up walking away contented and happy with no regrets of not getting up the thrill rides. 

Anyway so here am I on the metal platform, the attendent ushered us hastily in to the seats made where we will be lying on our tummies with a cage covering. Within seconds, we were lifted slowly up a spiral thingy till we were many many stories above the ground. On that slow ascend up the spiral track, i told my boyfriend, “ok i really regret doing this……..” then we stopped right at the top on a platform. Oh my God. I could see myself hanging lying down in midair. I saw all the curvy tracks below me, the people below looked so small, It was really really FREAKY. I wanted to scream and shout for them to lower me back down. But before i could utter a word………………..ARHHHHHHHHHHH i was plunging down at highspeed, face first.. and okay there’s no turning back.. I was going round and plunging and tossed every degrees till i din know whether i’m upside down or upright. Every thing was so fast that i could not scream in anyway. I felt my voice got sucked into my tummy and my face was pushed to the front to face the whole terror. And guess what, my boyfriend was screaming all the way through.. not because he was afraid.. it was just that the ride thrilled him to the max. I bet he was so caught up with that thrill he would not even know if his protective cage was off. Well half way that ride, he turned to me and said “shout something baby”.. I wanted to tell him “its CRAZY….” but i was unable to explain to him what was in my mind….so i just kept silent and spinned with all his screaming going on…..

Phew Phew.. finally it was over!!!!.. The moment I stepped on solid ground. I have to say after that first time freakiness is overcomed, I actually think it was FUN!!! I would not mind going up again for round 2!!!!

Here’s some info about the FLYING COASTER:-

‘Flying Coaster’, a hang-gliding roller coaster with Swoops, twisters and zooms round turns and drops! With the Flying Coaster, you’ll ‘fly’ with a totally unobstructed view of Genting and its beautiful scenery. Although there is no time to enjoy that, it’s moving and turning around so fast. If I’m not wrong, the ride lifts the flyer to a height of 20 meters and releases the flyer to a hang gliding flying experience over 391 meters [rough guess only] of the track length, with a maximum speed of 25 mph.[a guess from my own experience]. Four people fly together side by side, so everyone is on the front seat. I didn’t know what was coming, but it was lot of fun and thrilling experience. So JUST DO IT IF YOU HAVE TO!!

Flying horizontally ! It's Crazy !!
