When God Introduces His Son...

What comes to your mind when you see
1. COKE?
2. Maggi Mee?
3. Nike?
4. North Korea?
5. Sodom / Gomorah?
6. World Trade Centre?
7. Gold Coast?
8. Michael Jordon?
9. Tiger Woods?

How God introduce Christ?
Mat 16:13-15

Isa 9:6
For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the governmnet shall be on His Shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor. The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

When God introduce christ, he introduce him as; Wonderful Counselor. The MIGHTY God, The EVERLASTING Father and The PRINCE of Peace.

To those who needs advice... He is The WONDERFUL counselor. To those who needs breakthrough, strength... etc... He is the MIGHTY God. To those who needs a father, He is the EVERLASTING Father. To those who needs Peace, He is the PRINCE of Peace.

There's nothing too big that Christ can't handle. He is who God says He is.

the way home

It has been quite an interesting journey this season. It's entirely new journey.
I was overwhelm with all the happenings, no time a lot of things.

Each day, waking up feeling tired. Felt so lost... I knew something wasn't right with me.
Yes I know I am exhausted... I am tired mentally, and my heart feels heavy. Never did I thought that I have lost the joy of serving. It has become a dread for me to attend church service, be a volunteer at "The Heavenly Gift". All I wanted to do is to be in my room.

Didn't realized that i have almost forgotten the way home.
The message that Pastor shared last night was like a wake up call for me. To remind me the way back home. Back to the Father.

At the end of the service, I cried like a baby. (manz call that paip bocor =p)
I found my way back to my Father... He, patiently waiting for me.
Not striving, or being too hard on myself. but just taking a walk with my Father.

PC reminded me to stay SIMPLE.
The way back home is SIMPLE as well.

The Heavenly Gift - IOI MALL Day 8

wow, already the 8th day since we last launch it on Dec 4.

Since today is a public holiday for Selangor, Station 1 - angel's gift pack operates from 11am-10pm.

What?? Station??

Well, in this Project.... we are divided into 3 stations
Station 1 - angel's gift pack: We provide FREE gifts wrapping services
Station 2- Pick a gift: where we put up needs of poor families and also children wishes from various orphanage, and we allow shoppers to sponsors a child or a poor family
Station 3 - Be an angel: It's were we encourage shoppers to join hands with community at heart by being a volunteer for different community projects.

Today's "business" was pretty good. Tho New wing doesn't close many profiles, but at least station 1 quite good business.
Since today we have more then enough people, i have the chance to "loiter" heheheh and i tried to go around telling people about free gift wrapping service that we provide as well as encouraging the shoppers to sponsor a child or a family.

These are some of the responds i get:
1. Not interested
2. I also need help
3. Will think about it
4. I will come back
5. some take a look at the tree and walked away...
6. hmmmmm

well, gift wrapping good business... but i didn't manage to "sell" any of the profiles =(
Just answers a few questions... that's all =( how sad.

Overall, I see that actually our community is quite giving. Given a platform to give, and bless others, they would do it. I am encouraged to see many shoppers giving to the poor and the needy.

If you are around Puchong, do drop by our booth in IOI Mall. =)
You can also feed yourselves with some very delicious food from NEXT STOP or ASAM HOUSE.

CYW Penang Recap

indon indon

Alright Mel, i m gonna blog about indon trip.
Guess what i dreamt about me going to the safari again! this is insane, i think i really miss the safari. hehehe

went to indonesia early Nov. and the best part was, when i was there, i fall ill. bummer! i was "bed ridden" for a day. but it's all good. i still enjoy myself for the days that i m well.

First Day

Breakfast at MacD. Yes, i actually love  MacD's breakfast. But but but i didn't order anything cuz it's still early and my stomach is not awake yet =p

Love flying early in the morning. You will get beautiful view... nice kan? 

He-lo indonesia. We bring greetings from Malaysia

Hungry, we need to stop somewhere for lunch!

1st day lunch, not use to the cooking style, find it too oily for me.

so i ended up eating white rice and egg. 

On our way to....

 

look at the map... it's a map of SAFARI! this is the best and the most exciting part of the trip. alright, that just me. love to see animals.

some pictures that i took. wanna see more pic?? click here.
we spend the whole day at the safari. The place is REALLY HUGGGGGEEEE. You can get lost in it.

for the first time, i have close encounter with this creature. so tempted to touch it, but i am afraid that it will bite my hands off. i feel this tiger looks a bit tame. feel so sissy =( but it definitely knows how to pose =p

and i saw this...

 

Yes Camel!!! didn't know that they are so HUGE! and have curly hair. I always think camel's hair are straight. muahhahaha

and i am kinda afraid of....

elephant. my cousin was cool with it. but me... i feel so tiny standing beside this creature. but they are really cool.

I always wanted to see penguin! and guess what God is good... being able to see this cute little thing, it really make my day!

as you walk, you will have these birdie flying around. it's really nice.

Cowboy show was really well done! although the sound system is a bit lousy, but I thought the show was fantastic!
Note for cowboys: scrap off shit from shoes before entering. (i didn't make this up! =p)

and we continue walking. we now enter the reptile zone

Actually it's really nice to walk around. it's not hot. it's like Genting. i really enjoy the walk. but my the rest complain like crazy. Me just ignore them and enjoy myself. take my own sweet time to walk and talk pictures.

alright, there's no picture of snakes cuz i m really afraid of them. i by pass the snakes area.

thn... i saw my fav animal.

they are so elegant looking... love it!!!

but quite stinky tho =( it's ok i still love them =p

most of the places in the safari, they have this... all different design. I love it hehehe Stop smoking people! =p

Dolphin show! awww they so adorable...

didn't know they are called lumba-lumba in malay. i know, a bit sesat right. hahahah

ok, i m tired already... let's check in.

It's not a 5 start hotel, but i think it's the brilliant hotel. nice place to stay in.

cuz, it has...

nice view. fresh air. now i missing that place.

by the way, this is at Puncak.

Day 2.

we were on our way to Bandung.

Stopped by for Coconut to quench our thirst. Coconut not that awesome la. still like OUR coconut.

see what i found!! this is so classic. remember having lotz of those when i was younger, in my mom's coffee shop. so classic.

we stopped by strawberries farm.

oh oh... before i forget.. these people are prepare tape (i think that's the spelling...) tape is... erm... erm... yam marinate with alcohol i think. not sure

Woo hoo lunch time. This is a lot better then 1st day meal.

arrived at our destination. Tangkupan perahu. Valcono area.

it was my first time entering valcono area. It's really smelly. but it's cold there. nice air. after a while you kinda get use to the smell so it's alright.

the vendor there will do anything and everything to have you buy thier things. Had conversation with one of the local. He walked 12km or more to be here. just to earn some living. to do business there, you need to get approval. and you are scheduled at different time. only get to do biz there 4 times a month. things there are cheap tho. but me being me, not so interested with the merchant, i forgot that i need to buy souvenir. muahhaha i m captivated by the surrounding. and the people there. while my gang were shopping, i was talking to one of the ladies that was doing business there. one of her child is studying in Malaysia. oh well... heehehe

then we head to hot water spring. I thought i took pictures of it.. but i can't find it in my folder =( i hope i didn't delete it.

bandung it's really a shopping heaven! things are cheap there.

but, I am looking forward to meet Peggy! That's the best thing in Bandung. Peggy!

Miss her a lot. Her dad drove her to where i was staying. can't remember the name of the hotel.

Day 3

We are back in Jakarta. First stop MINI Indonesia. Really dun like this place. oh well... i didn't plan the trip just go with the flow...
OK, not much pictures on the 3rd day. because i started to get really sick. and eventually we have to check in, because i am really really sick already.
We stayed in Trinity Hotel. Not bad... new hotel, have a little bit of Hotel Maya Concept. but I still prefer Hotel Maya. ( i know i know, i am biase =P )
I spend the rest of the day resting, can't even get up from the bed.
Others went shopping and the gals head to the nearby mall for shopping.
I was a bit sad because didn't get to meet up with Evelyn. To be honest, the very thing that i am looking forward to was to meet peggy and evelyn. 

Day 4

Final stop.

The only thing i look forward to in this place was 4D show. hehehe

Yes, final stop before heading to airport. Dufan, i think it's call fantasy world. Would love to go for the rides, but we do not have time for that. so yeah... nothing impressive in there.

said bye bye to indonesia =(

I wish could sit in there.

I am too excited and captivated by the lights. forgot that we are not allowed to turn on any electronic devices. heheheh i just SS la (Syok Sendiri)

Overall it was a fun trip. i was thinking about next destination when i was boarding. I told my cousin that i feel like buying a flight ticket on the spot and fly again heheheh

It was my pleasure to be part of the tour.

I wish i hear about this message when i was younger. then i might realized my dream earlier. What we were told was, we can't help others, because we don't even have enough for ourselves. but think with me again, will we able to have enough. When we gotten what we want, we want something else.

Take this year, i have so many wants. Since my laptop got stolen, i wanted a new one. When i gotten one, i was thinking about MAC! thn i tot to myself, it would be great if i can own a SLR camera. I want a car, i wan to own an apartment and the list go on and on....

but then truth is that, we can have all that we wanted, but at the same time we are able to help those that are less fortunate. Every Single Ringgit that i put aside, that 1MR able to feed a beggar.

Come-on YOUNG ONES, we can make a different =)

we will be heading to KUCHING in Jan! ME VERY EXCITED =P
