Birthday Boy: Uncle Ken

Its another blessed Sunday! Time really passes fast as today's another of Uncle Ken's blessed birthday. We had a small so-called birthday party in church today. And our lovely Uncle Ken was so happy and wore his well-know grin the whole day. We sang the 'Happy Birthday' song twice today but he's still only one year older since last year.. lol... He was asked about how did he felt about today and here's what he said:" Well, I'm a year older, but not any wiser...(laughs)" hahas...

Uncle Ken!! (right)
The picture above is definitely not today's
It's just an idea of how Uncle Ken looks like...

Uncle Kok Bin and Auntie Ester is away today. But our normal routine still went on. Mithi did the 1st sermon of the day proclaiming about the crucifixion of Jesus, our Saviour. He prepared some slides which is about the places and some tools at the time when Jesus was crucified. It felt really painful just by hearing how he describe Jesus being tortured and hung on the cross where He's all alone and there is no one who pitied him when he pleaded for water. Jesus already knows that he will suffer major pain and such terrible death but still he went for it willingly. He died for us, to wash away the sins of mankind before, now and after... No one on earth will do such a thing except our Almighty Saviour, the Son of God. So now, do think about what Jesus had done and try imagining our lives now if he didn't. He did so many miraculous things, and sacrificed himself just for us, so its not too much to ask from us to pray and praise him in return right? Just like what Uncle Kenneth likes to say, we as humans tend to forget God when we are having good times, and will only turn to God whenever something happens. ^^ We should spend more time for God and praise and worship him and Jesus Christ besides striving to become more like Him.

Oops, sorry. Got too carried away by the subject. Erm. Teng wasn't with us today as he will be having his PMR not long from now (Gotta do some last minute touch up ^^). Anyway, we had our bible class today, conducted by Uncle Kenneth. This month, we are doing 1 Corinthians. Today's lesson is about the church. There are so many different types of denominations in the World and each with different styles and ways in spreading the good news. Uncle Kenneth had made it clear that all the denominations should be as one and preach about God's words to the non-belivers and not only limited to those who already believed.

Forgot to mention last week that dear Anutie Li Hong and Ying Ying had joined the short hair comunity!!! Haha... Though its sort of a pity that they trimmed off their hair, but they still look FAB in shorties...

Have a nice week~

*Most of us will be sitting for our respected exams and do keep us in your prayers.

**Auntie Lai Ping's mum (hopefully its spelt correct) passed away. Do include her and her family in your prayers too.

Happy Independence Day!!!

Happy 52th Birthday Malaysia!!!



Tanggal tiga puluh satu, bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh!!!!hahas...

Question: How will you guys spend your Hari Kebangsaan?

Training for Service / Camp Fire Singspiration

Had our Training for service and Camp Fire Singspiration yesterday. Everything went on well. Some of the Puchong and Wangsa Maju Congregations Youths came and attended the training given by Uncle Kim Fatt. We were also glad to have Calvin, SS, Errol and Mi Chelle back with us this time!! It's so seldom that we all can gather together as everyone's busy with their studies in different places.

The BBQ dinner was prepared by all the adults ( And of coz, some help from our dear Miss Mi Chelle and Chye Leng...). Though the Puchong Youths didn't stay back for the singspiration, they had dinner with us before they left.

As we were busying making souvenirs， the others already grabbed all the delicious and sinful food, there were little left when we went food hunting... haha...

Our Souvenirs!!! HAd made by all of us...(George picked the verse)

!After treating our stomachs, all of us gathered around the church grass compound and sit in a circle around the pieces of wood for the fire. There were a few guest and new faces around. 1st There's Jason, CM's friend from Puchong and then there is Teng, a 188 cm guy who is only 15 and currently studying in Chan Wa. Besides, Mithiran too brought some beautiful friends ^^...

We all had a candle with us and passed the flame around as a small opening ceremony for the Singspiration. The camp fire was lit by our 'oldest youth' dear Uncle Ken.

Ta-da!!!

Played Tom & Jerry as a starter using hoola hoops. Chye Mei as the game master. It was so funny watching everyone being so anxious+nervous.
In the end, Tom and Jerry was captured by our dear Wei Sern and Edwin. lolz...

The party begins with the lead of songs by Naveen, next is Mithi, following with Da Ge, George, and Calvin, then its Uncle Chong Ming and Uncle Kenneth.

We also played an interesting game taught by Mr. Zhong Zhen. We had to be split into 3 groups. 1st group gotta shout Caeser!! Caeser!! with Mithi as the group leader, 2nd group:" Walawala! walawala!" lead by Naveen and 3rd Group :" Gu-bak! Gu-bak!" with Teng, the tall young guy as the leader. We had to shout at the fire to determine which group shouted the loudest. It was hilarious!!! (Uncle Ken in Group 2 looked so cute when he did the "walawala" with movements...^^)

Group 1 with "Caeser!! Caeser!!"
Group 2：“Walawala.. walawala..."

Group 3:"Gu-bak!! Gu-bak!!"

The results 0f everbody's efforts:

=.=
In the end, the winner was.... EVERYBODY!!! Hooray!!!

Did somemore singing....

The whole singspiration ended after the singing of Friends and a closing prayer. Everyone had some small snack while packing up. Some of us were playing frisbee and we found out that it was quite a dangerous game:
1st, It can actually hit someone inocent which leaves a bad ache on your back. 2nd, Frisbee don't have eyes to see where it is flying, and will land on somebody's property if you are not careful.

So guys, please becareful when you play frisbee the next time.^^

Appreciations to Uncle Kok Bin and each and eveyone who contributed for the event. You guys totally Rock!!

Ok, had just flipped through some of my files and found some taped memories. Here's something to refresh your mind... Enjoy~

You would probably think that this happened years ago right. hahas, its a snip clip of our Lock-in last year. Remember? haha... It sure brings back memories...

Its a rainy here in M'sia these few days. Hope that you guys will take care of yourselves and pray that it would rain this Sat...

Lesson of the day

Anarchy:
1. No rulership or enforced authority.
2. Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder.
3. A social state in which there is no governing person or group of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty

Which definition do you prefer??

Uncle Kenneth asked us if we want anarchy to happen in our school and there were a number of us who would be delighted to accept but there were also a small group who prefers having some rules and order.

Now, ask yourself, is freedom really so important to you that you must break every single rules and every possible law created? While, think again.

What kind of life it would be without a someone superior than you, ordering you what to do and that you can do whatsoever you want anywhere anytime. You are the BIG BOSS of yourself and can make any judgement by yourself without anyone to boss you around. Wouldn't it be great???
(remember, there isn't only you living on the earth...)

Ok, enough of the questions. Those of you who attended bible class will know what to think. But to all of you who didn't, here's a small bible verse for you to read (Its in your text book: Judges 17:1-13) Read through it and you'll see how foolish some people can be... (well, not literally la).

This is just a small introduction of the lesson today. Hope that it helps...

See the poor little kid? He had to eat the food on the floor when he's hungry.
I believe that all of us know what THIS meant.
We always have blessings shower upon us, but what do the little boy gets?
Just a small reminder: Do make sure to give thanks to all the blessings you receive and too pray that other people get the same about of blessings you get....

************************************************************************************

We will be having a Training for Service seminar next Saturday morning and there will be a Singspiration Camp Fire at the very same night (about 6 p.m.). Do mark that day on your calenders and planners as you all have to show up no matter what!! ^^
To those of you are in outstations, we do really hope that each and everyone of you will come back and join the fun!! It will be nice to have a fellowship together...

There would be tons of FUN, GAMES, FOOD, BEVERAGES and SONGS waiting for you!!! (Not to mention, PEOPLE too!!!!)

Come back lar... Come back lar... Come back lar... Come back lar...

God Loves you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,vyou, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you and finally, not to forget,YOU!!!

Jesus In The House

Here's something to share:

One day a man decided to invite the Lord to come home and stay with him. When the Lord arrived, this young man offered him the very best room in the house. The room was upstairs and at the end of the hall. "This room is yours, Jesus! Stay as long as you like and you can do whatever you want to in this room, remember Jesus, its all yours."


That evening after he had retired for the night there came a loud knocking at the front door. The young man pulled on his robe and made his way downstairs. When he opened the door he found that the devil had sent three of his demons to attack him. He quickly tried to close the door but one of the demons kept sticking his foot in.


Sometime later, after a great struggle, he managed to slam the door shut and returned to his room totally exhausted.


Can you believe that, the man thought. Jesus is upstairs in my very best room sleeping while I am down here battling demons. Oh, well, maybe he just didn't hear. He slept fitfully that night. The next day things went along as normal and, being tired as he was, the young man retired early that evening. Along about midnight, there came such a terrible ruckus at the front door that the young man was sure that whatever it was would tear the door down. He stumbled down the stairs once again and opened the door to find that there were dozens of demons now trying to get into his beautiful home.


For more than three hours he fought and struggled against the demons from hell, and finally overtook them enough to shut the door against their attack. All energy seemed to fail him. He really didn't understand this at all. Why won't the Lord come to my rescue? Why does he allow me to fight all by myself? I feel so alone. Troubled, he found his way to the sofa and fell into a restless sleep.


The next morning he decided to inquire of the Lord about the happenings of the last two evenings. Quietly he made his way to the elegant bedroom where he had left Jesus. "Jesus," he called as he tapped at the door. "Lord, I don't understand what is happening. For the last two nights I have had to fight the demons away from my door while you laid up here sleeping. Don't you care about me? Did I not give you the very best room in the house?"


He could see the tears building in Jesus' eyes but continued on, "I just don't understand, I really thought that once I invited you in to live with me that you would take care of me and I gave you the best room in my house and everything. What more can I do?"


"My precious child," Jesus spoke so softly. "I do love and care for you. I protect all that you have released into my care. But, when you invited me to come here and stay, you brought me to this lovely room and you shut the door to the rest of your house. I am Lord of this room but I am not Master of this house.
I have protected this room and no demon may enter here."


"Oh, Lord, please forgive me. Take all of my house, it is yours. I am so sorry that I never offered you all to begin with. I want you to have control of everything." With this he flung open the bedroom door and knelt at Jesus' feet. "Please forgive me Lord for being so selfish."


Jesus smiled and told him that He had already forgiven him and that He would take care of things from now on. That night as the young man prepared for bed he thought, I wonder if those demons will return, I am so tired of fighting them each and every night. But, he knew that Jesus said that he would take care of things from now on.


Along about midnight the banging on the door was frightening. The young man slipped out of his room in time to see Jesus going down the stairs. He watched in awe as Jesus swung open the door, no need to be afraid.


Satan stood at the door, this time demanding to be let in. "What do you want, satan?" the Lord asked. The devil bowed low in the presence of the Lord, "So sorry, I seem to have gotten the wrong address." And with that, he and the demons all ran away.


There is a moral to this tale. Jesus wants all of you, not just a part. He will take all that you give Him, but nothing more. How much of your heart have you given to the Lord? Are you keeping a portion of it away from Him?


Perhaps the attacks are coming more and more each day. Why not let the Lord fight the battles for you? He is always victorious. God made man simple, all of man's complexities are of his own devising.

Sinful Virus!!! (Edited)

Hey guys, sorry for not updating any sooner. Days like these are getting worst. Ya, the H1N1 cases. There are already 2 hundred and 40 something confirmed cases just for today. Heard that one of the student from Pei Hua Primary kena the virus and unfortunately, passed away recently. What a pity. Hope that the other 3 students who also had the virus will survive. So guys, do keep all the H1N1 patients in your prayers and hope that the virus will be in controlled in no time.

Oh ya, do remember to take some safety precautions so that you guys won't be infected by the virus and spread it to others... Our duty is to spread the good news and not the virus!!! Do wear a mask whenever you are out and wash you hands as frequently as you can. Avoid going places with large crowds (that means no movies for this whole period for all of you..^^) and stop sneezing and coughing by covering your mouth with your hands. (It may be contagious for all you know!!).

We're not very sure how's the virus is spreading in other parts of the world, but in Malaysia, its uncontrollable. Do make sure you all take care of yourselves and restrain yourself from falling SICK!!!

btw, to those who will be having your exams these few months, sit back and enjoy your study time at home. Do not even consider walking out of the house. The contagious virus might be waiting for you outside your main door. So stock enough junk food for months of supply and bury your heads under the crappy BOOKS!!! lolz...

That's all for now. Do remember to say your prayers before entering the mind-challenging WAR!!!
All the best!!!

** Beverlyn, nice to see you here. We miss you SOO MUCHIE!!!
