I came back from Genting Highlands this afternoon, after that, I went to Mid Valley and watched National Treasure 2; and I am really tired now!
Wow, it was a blessed trip. I went there with my coolest high school friends... They are:-
Front from left; Pei Theng, Fong Chu and Pei Mun
Back from left; Rachel and Pui Yee
And also Alex Lim (the guy in brown shirt)...
Hi all... Thank you very much for this wonderful trip. I had a great time with you all...
We were staying at First World Hotel for 2days and a night. Actually, we went to Genting Highlands on the wrong timing... The weather was really bad - very misty and rain. But God is really graceful... It was raining and I was really disappointed. We all were forced to go to First World Plaza because of the rain, then I prayed and said, "Lord, why? Why is raining?". Then suddenly, I sensed the Lord was telling me about 'Everything happens for a reason!'. So, my friends and I went to play 4D Motion Master. After the ride, we came out and I found out that the rain was stop. We were so excited and rejoiced! The mist was on and off... But thank God for His providing that we were still able to catch some ride in certain time especially during the time when the rain stop and weather was not so misty...
The first ride that we played was the spaceship... I knew it was a lame ride but I want my friends to try... Hehe =P Everyone were complaining about the ride... Haha!!! I told them start from the lame first then only go to the thrill one later. =)
Then, Rachel and Fong Chu went for Space Shot... I didn't go because I tried that ride before for twice; so it is enough for me to experience it again...
I was so surprised to see Rachel on this ride... She was so calm...
And I was really enjoyed seeing Fong Chu on this ride... This proved that both of them are really brave! =)
At the same time, Pei Mun, Pei Theng, Pui Yee and I went for ferry wheel ride... Actually, it was really scary to me and Pui Yee... Haha... =D But it was a great ride!!!
Pei Theng, welcome to our family! Hehe...
Then, all of us went for Fun Kart... It was not really that fun and the queue was really long. In my opinion, I think we wasted quite some time here but in midst of waiting, we were chatting and sharing, I really enjoyed about it... We laughed a lot too... Before we can drive the kart, we went for a short Undang-Undang class... Haha!!! It was so funny! We also needed to wear the shower cap before we put on the SMELLY helmet and we named the shower cap 'The Jelly Fish Hat'... Hahaha... =P
After that, it was raining... We went into First World Plaza. Here, we went to play 4D Motion Master. We were so 'Sam Pat' here... In the midst of waiting for our turn, then, we were posing and taking photos with the 3D Vision spectacles... Haha... It was so funny and everyone looking at us...
I was not quite enjoying with this time motion master because the story is not really good. But we had a good laugh anyway =)
Then, we went for lunch and check in into our room...
After that, we went back to outdoor theme park again. The weather was better - not so misty. Then, Rachel, Fong Chu and I went for a super thrill ride - Flying Coaster!
It was super funny... It was ok during the queue... Then, getting more nervous as we approaching to our turn to play... Once we got on the thing, we were start to be more nervous and my heart beat so fast... I still remember, while waiting to 'Fly'... We were joking by telling each other how regretted we were... Hahaha... =P
Nearing to the first 'drop', Rachel asked Fong Chu and I to prepare and start screaming... Once it drop down, three of us screamed on top of our voice... AAHHHHHH!!!!!!! Then followed by spinning around, 360 degree... I never stop screaming until the end of the ride... Then I started laughing... This roller coaster is really good. All my readers, you must try it out... Rachel and Fong Chu, both of you are so COOL!!! Riding on this roller coaster with both you really ROCK my world... =)
Then, we went for a new ride at outdoor - The Pirate Ship
Actually, we planned to sit on the very back of the ship but we were late and all the back sits were occupied by someone... So, we sat on the first and second row... I felt a little dizzy and felt like want to vomit during and after the ride... But we laughed a lot during the ride...
Later at night, we went to Snow World. We continued laughing again and enjoying playing with ice... We also drank yogurt drink inside this -6 degree place...
After that, our shoes were wet... and we dried our shoes outside... =)
By the way, the foods here (as usual) very expensive...
This Wan Tan Mee cost RM13 without Char Siew...
This Ice Lemon Tea drink cost RM4.90... So small cup... :-(
Genting Highlands is very well decorated for the coming Christmas. Everywhere we go, we see beautiful deco... Wow, really nice!
Anyway, I had a blessed time! This trip was so much fun... Thank God for His wonderful blessing and thank you to...
Rachel and Fong Chu...
Pei Mun and Pui Yee...
Alex and Pei Theng.
Thank you so much for making this trip so much fun and laughter!!! Love ya =) God bless ya!

A Piece of Christmas!
Wow, this year, our Children Church Christmas Party was wonderful!!!
Last Sun, the whole Dream Center auditorium was jam pack with 1608 children and parents. Everyone who excited for the Christmas party...
We had games, play and choir... And there were 108 salvations during alter call. Wow, isn't cool?! Amen and Praise the Lord!!!
This year, I was leading the logistic team. This was my first time handling logistic... At first, very stressful because I didn't know what to do... Then, during 2nd run of rehearsal, things were fine and run smoothly... =) I learned from my every mistakes, I will improve from it and will do better in future. During debriefing, I told my children leaders that I don't mind handling logistic again next year because in the end of the party, I found it was very fun and blessed to work as logistic leader!

Clown... Again?!
Last Sat, I did Clowning again during 'Lost' play at Dream Centre for promoting the coming Children Church Christmas Party.
Do you know, this time, I enjoyed doing it compare to the first time... More relax, more joyful and I dance around to entertained the kids... Bounce here, bounce there... Wow, really enjoying... More natural this time.
I checked my sms during my break and I saw a msg from Melissa, my Cell Group friend:-
"May God give u His confidence and light so u be shining clown that will excite the kids and family to the party. Shine. :-)"
God anointed me to be a clown through Mel's prayer and wish... Thank you, Mel... And Thank God for giving me another talent that I can use it to serve Him. My Children Church Pastor said that she will send me for training if there's a clowning training out there.
Have a blessed day ahead!!! =)

Last Friday...
Last Friday, I went to LCCT with some of my cell members to picked up my brother and my cell members and their team members who came back from their Cambodia Mission Trip.
We surprised them with five banners and I made those banners... I was totally out of words when I was making the banners. Hehe... But Thank God that I was able to find some words to write. Actually the idea of banners is from my previous mission trip to Cambodia - The XYZ leaders also surprised me and my team members with their banners... So, I also curi their idea to surprise my brother and my cell members...
After picking them up, we when to makan at Puchong... And my cell member, Carol Yap ordered a delicious ice-creams...

Busy... Super busy...
Wow, I am really busy this whole month... Thank God for His blessing in keeping me healthy.
Update about me:
Last Saturday...
Hey, I first time being a CLOWN. Actually, it was really challenging to be a clown but I enjoyed every moments of it... It was so much fun.
DUMC Children Church was doing a promotion for our coming Christmas Party at Bangsar village II. So, I assigned to be a clown. I had a great time anyway...
Follow by Sunday...
Praise the Lord! It was my baptism day... I was extremely happy!!! On Thursday, I called my parent to informed them that I am going to baptize. Actually, my parent are not a Christian. I was so afraid to call them and inform them. I prayed before I called them. I prayed that the Lord will soften and prepare their heart for my baptism... Guess what, God answered my prayer - I was truly blessed and rejoice that mummy and daddy allowed me to get baptize.
Hafiz, thank you very much for coming to my baptism, I had a blessed time with you on that day. All my cell members, Children Leaders and my ex-mission trip team members, Pek Ling and my friends, thank you for your blessing and support!!! David, thanks for being there in the pool... Carol Yap, thank you for accompanied me to baptize on the same day! I am so sure that you were super happy on that day too... One person that I must thank to is my brother, Timmy. Bro, thank you very much for bringing me to Christ. Thank you for your support, encouragement and thank you for always mentoring me and taking good care of me... Really blessed to have a brother like you! And DUMC Music and Worship Ministry; Thank you for cheering for me and Elliot ko ko, thank you for rolling the drum. Last but not least, Thank God for His wonderful blessing. Everything won't take place well if without you, Lord. Thank you... Not to forget those who sent me message to wish me; Thank you very much! You all made me the happiest man on that day! Hehe...

We Need To Serve; My Testimony
Serving the Lord is so meaningful for me as I serve at the Children Church here in DUMC. After each gathering, I am always happy to see children going back home after Children Church with something in their heart, which is the love of Jesus Christ and filled with the Word of God. That is the joy I experience when I serve.
Actually, I know that I am truly blessed to belong to a church like DUMC. The reason I am saying this is because DUMC provides a lot of ministry options for me to choose and I am able to serve God according to the Lord's calling and will for my life. I used to ask God where I could serve, but with so many ministries here in DUMC, there is no excuse not to be part of one. Just try-lah… and see… and so, I joined the Children Church.
What has happened to me since I started serving? I realised that I am now more humble and down-to-earth since I started serving. This is because serving has become a good platform for me to learn and to practice how to meet people’s needs and to be diligent in prayer. I also remember that as we serve the lesser in our society, the humbler we become. My gifts and talents that the Lord has given me are also fully utilised to glorify Him when I serve in ministry.
When I serve, I also learn how to depend on the Lord especially in times when my own weaknesses and problems hinder me to serve. By my own strength, it is really hard to serve the Lord. Therefore, I learn how to channel my own self-centeredness to God-centeredness by depending on His wonderful strength and wisdom. Eventually, I learn to put my trust in the Lord and have faith in Him even more.
In addition, seeing the children worshipping the Lord is really encouraging. They are the ones who taught me how to expressively worship the Lord - Dance, clap, sing and shout… just feeling free to worship the LORD without being self-conscious of myself.
I am also humbled to learn from the children about having FAITH in the Lord. I recalled that during my recent Cambodia Mission Trip, I applied my childlike faith in various challenges. With the faith of a child in me, God answered my prayer and blessed this wonderful mission trip in Cambodia.
What else? Serving together in Children’s Church means being in a team with the rest of the Children Leaders of course! It is really fun and happy to serve together where everyone here is like family. Having them around and by serving the children together, my life is never a dull moment! By partnering with them, my character is being shaped and I have received a lot of blessings from serving with them. The leaders have also blessed me with prayer, love and care, knowledge, wisdom and even transportation. They also helped me to build my confidence especially when I am on-stage (as I ‘have’… or should I say ‘had’ stage fright).
Life isn't the same anymore after I started serving here at Children Church. God made me see that Children Church is where I belong and he called me according to His purpose to serve here. Now, my life is more meaningful and purposeful!
Last but not least, to me, serving is the matter of the heart and willingness. I believe that serving is something that the Lord wants me and you to do while we are living in this world. I am reminded that ’For even the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’. So, even the Lord Jesus Christ, our King of kings and Lord of Lords came to this world and served. So, who are we, as His servants to say ‘no’ and refuse to serve others whom He loves.
Therefore, we need serve. Remember, serving is one of our purposes here on earth. As ‘salt and light’ and an ambassador of Christ, start serving today to enlarge the Kingdom of God and to glorify His mighty name.
Serve, because He first served us.

1 Corinthians 13:13
I like blogging is simply because I like to share my opinions, experiences and testimonies. Actually, I really liked to see my reader give me comments or encouragements on my post. It can motivate me to write more post. But now, the comments and encouragements do not really matter anymore to me. The most important about my blog is to share and to inspire people.
Three things that I want to share with people are faith, hope and love and out of these three, the most important one is LOVE. "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13" (taken from New International Version Bible)
That's where the title of my blog come from... God bless you richly!
