CZone Camp

For those who attended the previous CZone Camp in Port Dickson, you all must be looking forward to another camp! Indeed the last camp, theme “bumble bee” was a great camp. We have a great pastor preaching great sermons and challenging every one to serve and let God take control, to having the camp committee presenting their very own cheers by singing the Ghosbuster theme songs! We have four teams with their very own creative cheers to include the word “BEE” in it!





Good news for all of you if you miss those times and for those who miss the camp now is the chance for you to join us!

This year, the CZone camp is coming up from 4-6th April. We will be having it in Eco Dusun, Janda Baik, Pahang.
Eco Dusun Resort is a resort theme style based on eco-tourism. Thus, all their chalet and huts are name after various villages, birds, animals and flowers found in the tropical forests. Located in the thickness of green forest and just 1 hour drive from KL, this site is a great place for camp. Situated on 27 hectares of land, this campsite provides various facilities for campers.





Some of the facilities found on this place are the chalet, ‘A’ shape hut, dorms, tent sites, basketball court, seminar rooms, prayer rooms, swimming pool, shops and canteen.











If you think that this place is a boring place, you have to think again. This campsite provides you with such a varieties of activities for you to participate; you will be lost with decision, which to do first. They have hanging bridge, commandos crawl (for those who are scout, you miss those time, don’t you), monkey crawl, flying fox, tarzan swing, wall climbing, rock climbing, spider webs and much much more….You can even participate in water activities or go for jungle walk and hiking!















Alright, much is said about this campsite, now it’s your time to act!



This year, we have Pastor Nancy Ong from the Metro Tabernacle to speak at the camp. The theme of the camp… STRENGTH! I am sure all of us can benefit from the theme of the camp and even from the pastor. Ps Nancy herself is a campus pastor. She believes strongly in the campus ministry and is a firm believer that the young generation could shape the world! She is the wife to the senior pastor of Metro Tabernacle, who is also the Deputy General Superintendent of Malaysia AOG.

So, why wait. Don’t procrastinate and sign up now!

Valentine's Day

To many, today is the day they celebrate their love for each other. Many will spend and fogged out a lot of money to make their ‘the other half’ happy. The guys will buy flowers plus present and booked a place for a romantic meal while the girls will happily wait to receive it (some girls will get their boy boy present too).



And many more will get married today and end their bachelorhood… what a romantic way to celebrate their love for each other than a holy matrimony!



And some will be happy that their ‘stock’ finally arrives.



Year in year out…the news will be the same.

But, this is the day too, the single will be made aware of their singlehood and make to suffer and endure these 24 hours as they can’t find a date.

But one thing I don’t understand.

If you love a person, don’t you celebrate your love all year round?

I KNOW YOU WILL SAYS TODAY ARE DIFFERENT.
WE WANT TO EXPRESS OUR LOVE MORE TO OUR DARLING!


Ok… but what the HECK you want to pay for a bouquet of rose which will cost about RM50 on normal day and for today, you pay like RM200?



And paying for the meal at the price of RM100++ per pax which normally cost RM 20 nett!



YES!

I know some of you will say,

NO! I DON’T ASK MY BOY BOY TO BUY ME FLOWER AND SEND TO MY OFFICE!
I TOLD HIM NOT TO WASTE MONEY!


But … BUT! When he does NOT buy you flower and send to your office, or in any case, give it to you by tonight, you will be ANGRY MAD at him and you will not talk to him until he buy you 13 carrot diamond ring!



You will go on strike and don’t want to cook dinner for him too!

So, in any way, today is a R.I.P. OFF day for the guys!
We are paying more for everything today which we can get at 1/5 of the price at other time so that we can push ourselves to work hard in the next 364 days to save up for next valentines!
So, what is your experience? What are your plans?

P/S: I am taking my dearest to the botanical garden and say to her…



Darling, I bought these entire flowers for you (Hey, I pay for the entrance fees!) But please don’t pluck! I still need to recycle it next year!

I am hopelessly romantic too, and I love my MONEY!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

GONG XI FA CHAI

Oh yes! Fatt Choi! Fatt Choi!

Who don't want that? I want it too. But it seems that from this year onwards, I will be more like "Poh Chan" (cantonese meaning 'banqrupt')! Before you get married, you will love when Chinese New Year comes around. You know you will be able to pocket some money from relatives you visit as they gave red packets when you wish them Happy Chinese New Year.

However, since I got married end of last year, now, I am in dilemma. I am looking forward to the Chinese New Year but at the same time, I am not. Looking forward, because, I will be able to meet up with all my relatives and family members, chatting and talking and laughing all the way! Not because, this year when I wish them Happy Chinese New Year, I have to give 'ang pow' (red packet)to their children whom are yet married, and little as they are, looking at you, saying

'koko...gong hee huat chai! ang pow na lai!
(brother, wishing you prosperity, and now give me your ang pow)

This is the thing that keep me thinking. why you wish people prosperity and yet, you asked 'red packet' from that person!

So, am wondering, can I reply them this year saying...

well, thanks for your wishes. Since you wish me so, I am keeping the money, and you can just take the red envelope minus the money inside! Let's be practical...prosperity means more money!

But! Never mind la! For the sake of happiness and joyous occasion, I will learn how to join in others and give. So, don't worry!

well, it's more blessed to give than received! and prosperities is more than to money only!

So, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR and here, this is your ang pow (red packet)!



So, don't come and ask me for more! You have yours!

Working life





One of the thing that I miss after I started working is this!
Well, now sleeping is a luxury. I can't sleep at time I feel I wanted too and just simply watch a movie till late at night and not to worry about getting up anymore. Now, I have to go to bed by 1030 pm and waking up freaking early at 615am...

I can't remember when is the last time I have this type of lifesytle. well, at least for the past 8 years, I don't have to go through that. After I left my secondary school, I have more freedom.

Now, I am going back to that! ahhh....

Anyway, I also miss my carefree lifestyle back then...


At least, not so much of preasure to handle.

So, this coming Chinese New Year, I am going to take my break and re-live that again. I want to be free and have a good holiday!
So, Langkawi anyone?

Sg Gabai Waterfall

Last Sunday, we decided to take a trip to the Sg Tekala waterfall but while driving there, the weather starts to look uncompromising…

Indeed, soon after, it pours cats and dogs.

look at the skies... its closing in on us


We reached Sg Tekala and decided to move on to Sg Gabai as the Sg Tekala is full of people picnic with their family. The drive to Sg Gabai is a scenic drive as we pass the Semenyih dam. It’s huge.

Sg Tekala is located along the road towards 18th mile in Cheras from Semenyih town. Sg Tekala is always abuzz with people picnic and spending time to chill of the warm Malaysian weather.

Sg Gabai is no any different. It is another 20 minutes drive from Sg Tekala and located in one of the Selangor national park area. Unlike the Sg Tekala, Sg Gabai is located 2km away from the main road. So, look out for the sign towards Sg Gabai.

Upon reaching Sg Gabai, the rain stopped. However to our surprises, the place is pack with the people. It seems that everyone continue to play at the waterfall though it was pouring earlier.

Immediately, we hike up the waterfall, high and looks like never ending steps.


More to go…


By the time we reach to where we want to play, we are darn tired! And we are greeted with this sight!

I am surprised with the number of people there. Actually, I should have expected that since this is a popular picnic area among the locals!

Without wasting time, we change and start to jump into the water!

WooOOOoooOOooOooOO….

It’s so cold that….emm… and we shivers!

my cousin, Li Wern, myself and my brother, Khai EE


However, soon we are so into the water that the cold water can’t deter us from enjoying it anymore. It has been more than 3 years since the last time I enjoy swimming in the natural.




I know, we just came back from phuket but the water there is different. As much as I love Phuket for the sea, there is something about water fall that I love.


The water flowing from the waterfall is always so refreshing as it is fresh from the mountain but the sea water is kind of sticky because of salt content! Furthermore, it is cold!

As we sat there playing with water, a bunch of teenagers decided to play at the natural slide…



Its oblivious to them the danger it posed towards them. Every time they take a drop, my heart sank with them. But they are full of stunt that we sometimes forget about the danger and enjoy the ‘show’. enjoy it as the do the 'skating' pose and more...



After more photo taking, we decided we should head home as its getting dark and mosquitoes start to ask for free blood donations. I don’t plan to give any free donation that day, we took more pictures and went back for dinner!

I Wonder Why?


I was browsing thru my phone when I saw this picture. I have forgotten about it after I took it in Phuket.

Before you cursed me for taking such a lousy shot and unedited...do read carefully the sign

I know, there is nothing wrong with it, but let me explain.

I actually found this signage in the MALE toilet!

The sign actually says

"Please do not put cloth, stocking, sanitary pad or other debris in the toilet."

For a while, I was thinking, again as usual what people do to clog up the toilet until I realise, I am in the MALE toilet!

And what the heck they remind people not to put STOCKING in the toilet. Then, SANITARY PAD ?

Which guy use SANITARY PAD ?

Thailand, you can find a lot of unsual encounter and when they are transexual, they go all the way!

eeiikkkssss!

A break in Time!

I have just clocked in for work and realise a lot of my collegues are on leave. Ah....such a bliss (for them not for me) to enjoy such a long holiday. I have just came back from my trip back to hometown.

Yes! I'm one of the culprits that caused the traffic jam.

I'm never a supporter of the madness exodus that Malaysian practices during festive seasons. Be it, you are Malay, Chinese, Indian or any race, you will still like long holiday. Yes, I enjoy that, but most of the time, I will always try to leave early and come back later...

But now, I can't! I dont enjoy that luxury anymore. I am now a working adult! Married!

What a transition!

On Wednesday, I made my way back, up north only to be stuck in the jam for 8 hours. What normally takes me 4 hours, took twice the journey!

Ahh...errr....
How I wish, I am back in Phuket! Ahh...I loves that time.


Free...

But now, NO! Felt like being hit by waves after waves!



And I'm trying to survive!

Nevertheless, I am thankful that God has provided for me this job in such a wonderful timing.

And when the holiday seasons comes, its like a relief from all the hectics or should I says, routine schedules!



Evacution sites! all that left after tsunami is this sign as reminder!



Today I am working, tomorrow will have a break again, Christmas!

How I wish that my working place have this sign!

"De-stress sites! feel free to use it, ANYTIME! AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!"

I loves Christmas! Not that I receives presents that's why I loves it but because, of His love and we are reminded of it thru Christmas drama. I loves the creativity that people put in to spread the joy to the people!

And now, it brings new meaning for me too, to rest in Him! And to rest in Him I should tomorrow, sleeping thru in the evening!


ahh... i loves the sea, a place to recharge!

Working life

Since started working in INTI UC, I realise I don't update much. I must apologise for this. I am still trying to sort out my time for work, ministry and even for my research. I am still trying to sort out pictures taken in Phuket and even for my wedding.

In the midst of all these, I have to find time to travel up north for research and even to write paper for presentation. I do hope I can post more soon...

At the mean time, here are some more photos from Phuket
