What a wonderful year.

Ahh. 2008 is coming to an end. Well every year this time i will just sit down and reflect back everything about this year. The ups and the downs, yet this year has been an extraordinary year for me. This year is a very blessed year for me. God has been so faithful throughout the year. Really, sometimes i feel i don't deserve all this but my God is a merciful God and He loves me so so much! Things that i wish for all these years came through in just one year. Got a new laptop, a new dslr camera, a trip to China and a lifetime opportunity to study in UK! well not to forget a scholarship! Its just so wonderful that words just couldn't express how grateful i am. Although i didn't thought that it would be so well at the start of the year but God just show me how wonderful he was in providing all my needs! Don't forget he can do the same for you too! Ah, what a wonderful year.

Well i will be leaving in less than a week time, this Saturday to be exact. If you guys want to send me off at the airport, you could just leave me a message. Ahh i really miss everything here. All the friends that i've got to know throughout all these years. You guys are just so great and i really want to thank you all for being part of my journey here in Penang. Without you all, my journey wouldn't be so interesting and joyful. You guys never fail to cheer me up when i'm down. I really really appreciate every single moment with you guys. Though some of you might be just a tiny little character in my life story but you guys have made my story more complete and interesting. If i have ever mistreated any of you guys out there, i would like to take this opportunity to apologise and say sorry for it. Hope that you will forgive me. To those that have always been there for me, i really wanna say a Big thank you to all of you. All the wonderful moments will always be remembered deep in my heart. Well there's nothing much i can do to repay you all, just a little prayer to bless all of you.
" Dear Lord, thank you for blessing me with so many great friends all these years. I pray that you will bless each and everyone of them in a special way. I pray that they will experience your greatest love and blessing in their life the whole of 2009 and also the years to come. For those who are still studying, Lord i pray that you will bless them in their studies. Give them wisdom to excel in their studies. To those who are working, Lord i pray that they will prosper in whatever they do. Give them strength in their everyday life to cope with the stress they faced. O Lord i pray for each and every of my friends, close friends, best friends or even just friends, i pray that you will give them good health and protect them wherever they go. Guide them and provide for their needs. In Jesus name i ask and i pray, Amen. "


With Love,

Updates.

Christmas is just over. An update about the week. This year's Christmas eve was unlike previous years. Well i thought that i've gotten sick of Gurney and all the noises and parties. So this year i spend my eve with siu keung and Moy boy. Our initial plan was to hang out at Starbucks and just relax. Well ended up in the car going round Penang island. Haha Anyway it's still better than getting wild in Gurney. I thought it was pretty fun. Then came home and sat into Praggy's new wife! His new Nissan Sentra! Ask him about it and he will tell you how much God has blessed him.Wonderful testimony. However i still kinda miss those previous Christmas eve. :)

So it was Christmas day! Went church in the morning. Had gift exchange after service. Thanks people for all the wonderful gifts! Then went gurney for lunch at Breeks after service with Termin, Niwen, Samuel Ong, Kelvin, Wihandro and his friend. Walk around and went home. It was a peaceful Christmas. Just relax and do nothing. Haha

Went movie in the afternoon with Jonathan, Chun Yang, Ben Joon and some other people. Watched Bedtime Story. It was a nice movie seriously! I didn't expect it would turn out that nice.You guys really have to watch it. As usual a movie from Adam Sandler is of course hilarious.Haha. Had BBQ at my house at night. It was a appreciation dinner for the leaders. Had a great time. And they throw a farewell for me. Haha. They dress me up like an old lady and make up for me. It was totally embarrassing. Nonetheless it was a great party. Some of my relatives came too. Took a family photo. It was altogether a great week.

Christmas Celebration at Vistana Hotel

I'm back blogging again! It's been a long time since my last post. I promised that i would update real soon and here's the update! This post is about my church, EPCC christmas celebration at Vistana Hotel today. Was excited to take some shots at this event. Went breakfast with Termin at Kayu before the service. The service started with a dance performance by the youths. It was pretty nice. Ps Bernard with the band led the congregation of about say 700 into praise and worship. The performance by the CATs(creative art troopers) amazed everyone. It was totally mind-blowing! one of the most creative performance i've seen i would say. Words just couldn't describe how fantastic their performance is. The so called "three wise men", Ps Bernard, Terry and Roland performed a song. Ps Sam preached. 2 soul was save if not mistaken. Totally awesome service. Looking forward to CHRISTMAS!!! WOoohooo! Arent you guys excited!? Here's some photos of the day, I realise the photos i take per event is getting lesser. Argh!
