Pearly and Colin left on Tuesday.

Last weekend

2006-05-01T14:14:00.000+08:00

Hey people...

It's been a long time since this blog has been updated, just haven't had any time to post here. Anyway, I'm just gonna write a short post.

Last Saturday (29^th of April) we had the privilege of having Yvonne Foong share her testimony with us. Personally, I found it very encouraging, and I really want to help her any way I can. You can help further her cause by buying her T-shirts (click on the link to your right). Also, if you really don't have money to spare or anything, one small way that you can contribute is to click the advertisement links that are placed throughout the site.

See you this weekend ;)

Testimony! Exam testimony!

2006-03-28T16:28:00.000+08:00

Hi! I really like our new design. It's more modren and simple. Easy to read and oh so cool. So yeah. I have this testiony which I've forgotten to put here. So it's been two weeks and four days since it actually took place.

I was in my business communication exam (Which was three hours!). Doing quite well, Stuff I studied for came out and stuff I didn't study came out. Anyway to be concise, the exam was drawing to an end and I still hadn't answered this one easy question.

The question being what are the three situations you would use a business message for.

I was gonna be so mad at myself if I didn't answer it because inside I knew I know the answer and I remembering reading it in the textbook the previous night before. I could only recall the first and last answers and not the middle one.

So in frustration in not being able to remember I began silently knocking my head on the table. Yes, in the class room during an exam. Not like anyone saw anyway, well..except for the monitoring lecturers. ^_^'

Now I normally pray in tongues (Of course quietly!) while taking an exam. But at this point I stopped in order to bang my head. And then after a while I stopped and realised I was damaging the cells in my head and the answer wasn't coming to mind anyway. So I calmed down and remembered God is with me during this and that it'll be okay.

Silently (again) I prayed to our Father (thou art in Heaven) to forgive me for panicking and to help me trust and rely in him again. Then I took a deep breath to calm down and closed my eyes and searched my memory. Now that I type this I wonder whether it was a vision or picture clear memory.

In my mind I saw the page (this page had the first category) I studied in the text book the previous night. Then "my view" moved down the page and flipped the page and onto the next one and there I saw the middle category I was missing! I was so elated!! My eyes snapped open and I as so happy I dunno how big my grin was!

After that to me I know I might not have aced that exam, but now I knew I definately answered all I could. And that no matter what, I deinately got that question right. Praise and all glory and honor to God for rescuing me even when I make mistakes with Him.

God bless you all!!
With love, the Jean

New Design

2006-03-13T20:59:00.000+08:00

Hello people... hope you all like the new design. Apart from that block of blue at the bottom of the page, everything seems fine. I'm not going to bother with that block of blue at the bottom for the time being because I just spent the past hour fiddling with that blue line at the bottom of each post... it just didn't want to work.

Anyway, this Friday we won't be having any youth Bible study due to unforseen circumstances. Anne is most likely going to be away at her job with the F1 race. Jean and I are going to Langkawi, and our friend bought train tickets that only allow us to be back by Saturday morning (we were supposed to be back by Friday night). But if you guys still want to meet up, you're still free to use my house.

However, we will be having our youth meeting this Saturday, and we're moving it back to 4:30. Come prepared to walk around because we'll be having a time of prayer, and we'll be going down into the community 'praypare' the way for what we've discussed with you guys. See all of you guys this Saturday.

Farewell...

2006-03-03T12:47:00.000+08:00

Just to say farewell to the Lockes.

It's been a blessing having you guys with us. God bless you in your new place, and continue to serve him with all your hearts.

Just an announcement

2006-01-29T20:04:00.000+08:00

Just for the sake of posting...

This Friday we will not be having Bible study because of the healing seminar going on at church.

We will be having youth on Saturday.

The following week, everything will resume as normal (Bible study and youth)

Status Report!!!

2006-01-07T12:06:00.000+08:00

Hey, guys, for those not in the know, I'm no longer a teacher. So as such, I have to search for new prospects.

Thanks for all your prayers, guys. I hope to understand my direction soon. Sorry I can't be with you for now. But keep on trucking!!!! WOO!!!!!

Happy New Year 2006!!!

2006-01-03T19:56:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys,
You DO realize I'm posting this on the the 3rd of January and I'm still the first one to post here this new year!!! I rock! Anyway. It's a new year! Lets all celebrate the Earth moving around the sun one more time! Or is it making on full revolution? Oh no, wait! That's a DAY. Hehehe. Yeah. So, I'm the FIRST!!!!

I'm 15 years old this year. Man, I'm old. And it's freaking scary, 'cause I already have grey hair! And someone told me awhile back that if I have grey airs at this age I'll be bald by 30!!! Like Teoh! Nooooo!! I don't wanna be bald at 30! Anyway, I believe I've said this already, but anyway.
Happy New Year 2006! Man, last year passed fast,
But Hey,
Life's Like That...Mmm-hmm, Got That Right,
-Jay-

BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!

2005-12-23T11:10:00.000+08:00

hey guys!
cant believe how fast time flies. u guys have been fan/funtastic! let us look to God as we usher in the new year too. =)

Praise the Lord!

2005-12-12T01:02:00.000+08:00

Long time...

2005-12-05T00:47:00.000+08:00

It's been quite a while since I last posted here. Anyway, let's see what's up. You all should know this, but lets just go through the motions.

Youth Awareness Sunday:
It's on December 11^th, Second Service.
We have worship practice on Tuesday night (6^th December) at 8pm.
From Thursday onwards we'll be doing the stage backdrop.

Be in Health Conference:
Hope that you've signed up for this. It's a key ministry of our church, and we have to be in line with the way that the church is moving in. Let's try and sit together (weird rationale is that we'd either concentrate more, or concentrate less- we're hoping for the former).

Prayer and Planning:
Pray that we'll hear from the Holy Spirit, and receive the exciting plans that God has for us for 2006.

Christmas Play:
There's lots more practicing to be done. The next practice is this Thursday night.

Christmas Celebration:
On Christmas eve we're having a dinner celebration. If you don't have anything on with your family, then please come and join us.

Thanksgiving Celebration:
On the 31^st of December we'll be having a thanksgiving celebration. We're going to come together to have food and just share about what the Lord has done in our lives in this year. The time of the meeting will be dependant on whether we have watchnight at church. If we do it'll be an afternoon or evening thing. If not, it'll be a dinner and we'll have our own countdown.

For further details contact me, or Aunty Ratna

Guess who's back?!

2005-11-23T17:35:00.000+08:00

Well actually y'all don't need to guess since I'm sure you know Colin has stepped foot on Malaysian soil again (Today by da way folks). I spoke with him on msn and unfortunately we won't being seeing him just yet.

He's gonna pay visit to his grandma in Melaka first. And I dunno when he'll come here. So I'm just kinda wondering....should we do anything? Any welcome back celebration or anything at all? Hey Sam think you can use him in da play? I'll put up another post about the prayers for upcoming events and all when I'm free again. Unless someone beats me to it (I wonder who might?). ;P

For our SPMers

2005-11-06T17:51:00.000+08:00

This is not directly meant for our youth taking SPM as I'm sure they're all busy studying for SPM and won't have the time to come online and read this. So, for the rest of us. Just a reminder to keep the following:

Pearly
Kenneth
Richard
and Siew See

in our prayers as SPM is only a week and a day away (I dunno how far away it'll be when you guys read this! Anyway I'm sure you can calculate it yourselves.) SPM will commence on Monday the 14th. So lets all be in church after second service next week to show our support by praying over all our SPMers!

Pray for wisdom, knowledge, strength, time management, good memory, and no panicking, and whatever else you can think of or God shows you to pray.

God bless to y'all.

And put 'em mentioned people in your daily prayers. Oh and Cheryl too. I know she ain't officially ours anymore. But we all still love her don't we ;) ? Is there anyone else I might have forgotten to mention?

Planet Shakers!

2005-11-05T15:19:00.000+08:00

Greetings all YinCers! Once again as my brother cannot afford to put up a picture so I'll just type this here. People we're in for a busy last two months of 2005. Seriously, just with church ministry alone.

Starting this coming week. All those invovled with the Christmas productions this year you should have recieved Sam's busy schedule for us.

It's completely clashing so I doubt whether any of us are going to attend all three nights of the planet shakers night rallies. They start this coming Wednesday (and that clashes with prayer meet), Thursday (There will be a production meeting in Pastors house), and Friday (Sister Took is coming back). So I dunno how this is gonna work out.

But I say you all should at least experince one of the rallies. They are totally awesome! But who knows but God? So all the best and God bless.

In hyper seriousness,
your sis in Christ,
Jean

Oh and the night rallies are in Sunway Pyramid. It'll be huge!

Guy Sebastian in GT!

2005-10-28T16:32:00.000+08:00

Right, since it's already Friday and my brother hasn't been able to put up the flyer here yet. I'll just announce that Paradise Community Church has been holding workshops and concerts in FGA and Glad Tidings this week.

And as you can see from the title Guy Sebastian is coming with them. And if you do not know who Guy Sebastian is then *GASP* Oh my goodness! Shame!

So the back up singers have already gotten tickets for the worship concert this Sunday at GT at 8. Holidays are coming this week so we should all be free to go right?? So I'm gonna call or sms you all anyway as although it's free, we still have to get tickets to be admitted in.

Oh and plus, I haven't been able to come online except for research for a long time. But now...my brothers exams and mine are OVER! Hooray! Free for a week!

And because I haven't been able to come online to blog for so long I now wanna say thank you to all those who prayed for us and for Callie and her mother as well. Most of you know, but Callie and her mom are doing fine now. Thanks again for your prayers. And praise God for all his mighty ways!

God bless you all.

Prayer Request Too (Anyone else wanna join the bandwagon? :P)

2005-10-21T11:29:00.000+08:00

Hey-o, guys!!

Just some items to pray for:

a) On a personal note, Wayne, a childhood friend of mine, like Callie, also has dengue (Has Callie recovered yet?). He's someone my family has been praying for for ages. Silas brought him to Christ when they were in the same class in Primary School but he has since back-slidden. His family is pretty broken up so I guess no one can blame him. On the bright side however, he and his mom are talking to each other. I pray it sticks.

b) Youth Awareness Sunday!! It's gonna be good! It's gonna be great!....If we PRAY!!! And work at it, of course. So let's aim for the best, people!!!

c) Christmas item!! The idea's processing but it's gonna be big!!! We need all the people we can get and all the anointing and grace God can provide!! There was never a better time for talents to shine forth! So pray, pray, PRAY!!! And PLEASE make yourself available!! Even if you can't act, sing or dance, that's what directors and trainers are for. If not, stage management, publicity... SO MANY PLACES TO BE!!!! So please sign up, people! Thanks.

God bless you and keep y'all! :)

Food For Thought II

2005-10-12T18:40:00.000+08:00

Hey, guys, yet another free zone for opinions.

a) Is it wrong for Christian artistic people to produce non-Christian works?

b) Why?

Also, it's time to get into video promo for YinC for Youth Awareness Sunday. Am planning two short media training sessions some time next week. Jared will produce the idea. Anybody wanna help with production work or interested in helping to produce videos?

Please, prayer again

2005-09-30T02:19:00.000+08:00

So like are these all attacks on me? Or just attacks? I think they're attacks on all affected.

So I'm blogging to ask for prayer for my brother's and my mid term exams next week. And to thank you all for your prayers for my father. He was discharged from the hospital on Wednesay.

Plus now my best friend is in the hospital. So would you all please add Callie to your prayers? She was diagnosed with denge fever. They do not know how long she will be kept in the hospital. It has been quite a while. She was sick on Saturday and was admitted on Tuesday. She will be kept there for quite a while.

Also pray that in this time her mother (who is not a believer) will not use this as an opportunity to blame God. And for her brothers in Australia (one is a believer the eldest is not).

Welcome daughter

2005-09-24T15:07:00.000+08:00

Wow! Some wonderful news! Stephanie gave birth to a girl called Ashlyn. She weighed 2.8 kg and had a fast delivery (Three pushes!! Amazing!). She came a little early (a week), but it was an easy delivery. God bless to the growing family. Let's not forget to congratulate them people!

Let me tell you about Ratna's mother

2005-09-19T12:33:00.000+08:00

Dear YinC-es,

Here is what I shared with the world last week and I forgot to share with you all; but by now, you all have read Jared's "I'm bad with feelings" post and wondering, 'What's up with him?" - no worries, he's taken after me, I couldn't express my feelings for a long time, too hardened and grizzled:

But now I can, so here goes:

The hospital couldn't perform anymore dialysis on her mother as her BP had dropped to 60/35 and it would be dangerous to attempt dialysis treatment as it could result in sudden collapse of her organs.

Ratna's sister from Oman returned and as a experienced ICU nurse confirms that their mother had the worst type of leukaemia and that usually death will follow quickly after diagnosis.

Since she was off dialysis and there is no known treatment for the leukaemia except chemotherapy which is impossible in her weakened condition; the hospital was keeping the pain away with regular morphine doses.

Ratna's mother is a wonderful woman, a great testimony; she has the
biggest heart I've ever experienced in any person.

Ratna & I had asked the Lord this year to preserve her life until after she had come to the saving knowledge of eternal life through Jesus; our Lord is so faithful, as in May she gave her life to Jesus and on the 9th of July this year, she was baptised - we have seen the genuine transformation of a old frail lady to a one who adores what Jesus has revealed into her life.

She used to sneak out of the house (with the help of Ratna's youngest sister) to go to church and worship with the community.

I know that it is our Lord's will to have her return home to HIM; and I am now glad to release her into HIS loving arms, where she will always be comforted by HIS loving embrace.

I know that she has no regrets, for she should not have any; she has exemplified the most Christian lifestyle that I have had the opportunity to witness for the last 22 years, I am glad to have been welcomed into her family.

I thank the Lord for this lady in my life, my children and mostly myself. In her simple quiet ways she has touched more lives with her humble and gentle spirit. Her biggest desire she said in the past months was to see her boys (3 sons) come to Jesus - this hasn't happened till date.

Please pray that Ratna & her sisters, Parvi and Mages, can be comforted this time of sadness by the knowledge that God is in control of everything.

Please pray that somehow we will be able to extend our Christian witness to the 3 brothers, Rajen, Maniam and Ganesan, through this time and that too will accept Jesus finally as their personal saviour.

I have never felt this way about someone before; all glad and sad at the same time.

Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

In Jesus,
Simon

Rest In Peace Grandma...

2005-09-19T03:04:00.000+08:00

It's 3 A.M. My Grandma passed away at 1:30 A.M on Monday the 19th of September 2005. No need to pray guys. *Wry smile* Thanks anyway. I don't know when I'm coming back to K.L. I'll see you when I see you.

My Grandma Has the Worst Variety of Leukemia...

2005-09-18T21:59:00.000+08:00

My grandma's dying of leukemia, dunno if Sam has alerted you all. But who cares I'm posting anyway. Let the angst rule! Yeah, anyway, the Doc said she has two weeks to live, about a week ago, so about a week left now. Pray for her to not be in pain and to go in peace. 'Cause she wants to go. Alright? If ANY of you, pray for her to get better, God help me I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth and break my yardstick over your worthless head. Comprendé? Good. Yes, I AM being angsty, and there's nothing ya'll can do about it.
But Hey, (Muahahahahahahahah!!!!)
Life's Like That...Got it by now?
Jared

Pray Please

2005-09-14T14:31:00.000+08:00

Hi. So you've all probably already heard. That my dad was admitted to the hospital yesterday. My family and I visited him last night and he's stable. He'll be staying there for a few days under observation.

Apparently his lungs have been infected and his heart has enlarged. Not funny. Please pray for him and my family. We're all okay. Thank you for your concerns and prayer. I don't know what else to type. So I'm gonna go now.

God bless you all,
Jean

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2005-09-03T09:06:00.000+08:00

Hey, guys, went back to Penang for a few days and met this missionary guy called Max. We talked about a lot of things but anyway, he told me something so amazing. THERE IS A MOVIE ON MARTIN LUTHER!!!!!!! Called Luther and starring Joseph Fiennes (William Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love), released just two years ago!!! Why haven't we heard of it? Apparently in Australia, it got banned because the Catholic church protested against the film. So add that to Malaysia's own rules on religious material and...*sniff*

But OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SO WANNA SEE IT!!!!!!!!! Must save up to get it.

Sam

P.S. You can check the trailer out at a myriad of places on the web. Also, to be released this year is "Mother Teresa" starring Olivia Hussey who interestingly enough played Mary, Jesus' Mother, in Jesus, the mini-series in the 70's.

So, my last gush.....This is phenomenal!!!! So phenomenal!!!

Been a while

2005-08-31T21:16:00.000+08:00

Right. So it's been like quite a while. I have so much to update myself on. And a lot to type. But here' s a list of things we all gotta remember to do.

1. Congratulate Sam on his graduation
2. Ian's back (or should be). His school starts on Monday. So welcome him if he's there on Saturday or Sunday.
3. Prepare for the Denghkil orphanage trip (I obviously don't know how to spell Dhengkil).

And I got to go. So until my next post. God bless you all.

Praise the Lord!!!!

2005-08-29T00:30:00.000+08:00

God is so good! I just want to give Him all the praise for what He's done.

First off, we (the youth collectively) have to give God praise for the great item that He let us put up at the NECF Merdeka Prayer Rally 2005. It was done very well, and we have to give God the credit for being able to pull everything together in such a short period of time. He really came through for. At the start I remember Aunty Ratna saying that although we only had like three weeks at the time, she somehow wasn't fazed by anything because she knew God would take care of it, and He did! Thank You Lord! We also want to say thank you to all the wonderful, committed, faithful people who helped out and participated, from the dancers to the parents to all the people who prayed for us, and everyone involved directly or indirectly. Everyone made it happen. You all put in your effort to glorify God, and I believe that He's really pleased with your work. Your reward is in heaven! (:P) (And maybe some on earth...)

In other news... we finally have our youth board up! Yay! Praise the Lord for arranging my schedule to be able to design the board. Thanks to Aunty Ratna for working on all the content, I couldn't have designed anything without it. Thanks to the rest of you guys for helping put it up, and thanks to the Lockes for waiting and sending us home. Check it out the next time you're in Church if you haven't already.

Good job guys! Praise the Lord for everything!

Ladies and gentlemen!!!! Presenting the video "Welcome Home" accompanied by the wonderful dancers of RLS and PJEFC!!!!!

Pray for the following, please:

a) That the video will be as professional as possible. Yours truly taking the helm for this with Raymond, Wai Cheng and Phil being the stars. We need anointing, God!!!! And some decent equipment for shooting and editing. :P
b) Jean C and Tenny who are working with PJEFC people. Pray for unity, team effort and anointing on Jean C and her team.
c) That there will be NO screw-ups on that day. The last thing we all need is to work ever SO hard for this project and then the video becomes a no-show because of technical difficulties. Pray! Pray!! PRAY!!!!

Thank you and God bless. :)

P.S. I need 1 or 2 crew. Shooting will be on Monday and Tuesday. Any takers?

Thoughts on Death...

2005-08-12T17:25:00.000+08:00

Hey guys,
Anyone mind if I post a few random thoughts about Death on this Blog? If you do just get Soon Seng to delete it. Ok, so today I went for my second funeral of the year. (Not MY funeral, d'uh!.) So I'm not gonna say that it got me thinking, 'cause it didn't, but I'm thinking now, so yeah. My question is, what do you people think Death is? You know like on Sages people play Death as a being who comes and takes people away. I think Death is, well...I'm not sure it's hard to pin a label on Death huh? Any of you have any better answers? I'd sure like to hear them.

Apart from that, Vegeta or Goku, and why? Dunno what I'm talking about? Ask Sam. *Grins*
But Hey,
Life's Like That...Oh, Yeah...
Jared

Food For Thought

2005-08-09T15:38:00.000+08:00

Just thought I'd post some discussion questions.

a) What's the hardest part of being Christ-like to you?
b) Why?
c) Coffee or tea?

As for me...

a) Having to be consistent in my walk.
b) Even when I'm off-duty in church, I have to be an on-duty Christian 24/7 and on-call for emergencies. No breaks. :P
c) Tea! Tea!!! TEA!!!!!!

Oh, by the way, in case anyone doesn't know yet, Joo Tatt and his missus, Joo Ee have a healthy baby boy, Amos. Thanks to all those who prayed.

Just got back from Singapore

2005-08-06T19:51:00.000+08:00

Hello People!
Jean and I just got back from Singapore. We went there for the Festival of Praise to see Hillsongs and Delirious. Hmm... well... it was really, really good! Darlene Zschech is an awesome worship leader! She's really anointed, she has a great voice, and she leads the congregation very well.
It was a bit odd because we were sitting behind the stage. There was a screen in front of us, but everything we saw was reverse, so, we had to read all the lyrics backwards. Darlene turned around a lot so it wasn't too bad.
Delirious was really good as well, but it's easier to follow Darlene because I guess she's more worship leaderish (it's easier to pitch in with her voice too).
Colin Dye preached a good message. His message wasn't too long, it was easy to understand, but it was good. He spoke about apostolic faith. It's actually a three part message, so it would have been nice to be able to go for all three nights, but duty calls, so we're back here.
Wish you guys could have been there with us. It would have been more fun if we went with more people. Anyway... there's always another time.

Hey, from aus

Emergency Leave

2005-07-27T11:16:00.000+08:00

Sorry, guys.

Can't make it for youth and practice this Sat 'cause I have to go back to Penang. My friend passed away to be with the Lord. :(

Sam

P.S. On the upside though, I'm looking for people who are interested to review my 43-long-page script. It's an episode for what could be a cool controversial Christian mini-series. Any takers? :)

Testimony from Australia

2005-07-25T15:24:00.000+08:00

Joe Lee’s Testimony from Melbourne, Australia

13th July, 2005 was my special day because I was finally given the opportunity to ski with my friends on Mount Buller and touch real snow for the first time. We took a bus to the mountain. Although the journey to the mountain was pretty far, I was fine with it because I was too excited with the trip. Everything was going as planned from the time of hiring the skiing equipment till the skiing lessons.

After the skiing lessons, my friends and I went on to ski by ourselves. However, while skiing with my friends, I accidentally went down a steep slope and did not manage to brake. So, I went down the slope and eventually stopped after a drastic fall. I got up and was surprised to have no visual of my friends who were supposed to be behind me. I thought of meeting them at the place where we had our skiing lessons. However, I did not manage to meet them. So, I was thinking of calling them but was shocked to find out that my handphone was missing at that time. I went back to the place where I fell down to look for it but my effort was futile. During that time, I was confused as I was not aware of the time. Besides, I lost contact with my friends because I was not familiar with their handphone numbers. So, I just kept on wondering around the mountain by myself. Eventually, I found it difficult to see those people around me because thick fog started to surround me.

At that time, I prayed to God that I really needed a miracle. However, I was also pessimistic that miracle does not happen all the time and I had to face the fact that I was lost. Nevertheless, I went on skiing by myself because the least I could do at that time was to enjoy my skiing trip and find my way back to the bus. After skiing, I asked strangers for the time and eventually the time was already 4 o’clock. Oh my God, I remembered that my bus was supposed to leave at 4 and the tour guide had already spoken to us that the bus would only wait at most 10 minutes.

I quickly tried to find my way to the shutter bus so that I can travel back to the Hire Equipment shop where everyone was supposed to gather and wait for the bus. However, time was running short and I was not sure about the directions. Suddenly, I saw a man standing in front of me at a distance. I did not know who that person was but he looked at me and quickly told me the directions to the shutter bus. In deed, the shutter bus was there and I successfully traveled back to the shop. After I have reached the shop area, I was still confused regarding the whereabouts of the bus. Time was critical and I was rushing in finding my friends and the bus. Eventually, I found a stranger standing at the road side. I wanted to ask him for directions but I had difficulty doing so because I was nearly out of breath after running for quite a distance. However, the stranger shouted at me, “You are boarding the Sunshine Bus, right? It is not here and it is waiting for you in the other car park”. So, I immediately went to the other side and found my friends. I felt relieved that my friends and the tour guide waited for me to ensure that I was safe because they could not have contacted me the whole day. This was only the first good news. I was also happy to hear from my friends that someone returned my handphone to the tour guide. According to my friends, at the starting of the trip, I was lucky to have entered the tour guide’s contact number in my handphone and left the contact number on the screen without clearing it. Thus, the person who had found my phone, saw the number on the screen and immediately contacted the tour guide to return the phone. Come to think about it, a handphone found in the mountain? I bet you would have doubt believing me too because at first, I myself also thought that my friends were kidding until they showed the handphone to me. Well, I guess this can be called as miracle.

After everything was done and ready to go, my friends and I went outside to find our bus. Upon boarding the bus, I remembered about the two strangers who have helped me with the directions at the right time and place. I was still feeling peculiar as to how the second stranger knew that I was taking the Sunshine bus. Anyway, the most important of all is I was safe but it was a nightmare for me to get lost in the snowy mountain. Thank the Lord!

(William already posted it in the comments, but I figured that making it a post would make it easier for people to find.)

For your list...

2005-07-25T15:03:00.001+08:00

Hello people,
I've tried to compile a list of stuff to add to your prayer list for the upcoming month of August.

Pray for our presentation for the NECF Merdeka Prayer Rally (Aug 28^th)
Pray for our visit to the orpahanage at Dengkil (Aug 6^th)
Okay... so it's not much of a list since there's only two points on it... but keep them in prayer ok?

You can add stuff onto the list using the comments if you want. But if you add stuff, keep them specifically for the month of August, and more group orientated than personal. If you want to post personal requests you can do it in a separate post.

It's hot... sizzle...

2005-07-16T02:29:00.000+08:00

Hello People!

As you should all know, this weekend Sister Took is conducting revival meetings at church. Tonight was the first meeting and it was really good. All of you guys should stay back after youth so that you can attend the revival meeting. She'll be preaching on Sunday as well at both services, but the revival meetings are different because there's more of a free flow because there aren't any time contraints. Come and expect God to do something for you!

New #

2005-06-30T14:18:00.000+08:00

Hey, guys and gals...

From this weekend onwards I shall have a new pre-paid handphone number: 016-3810277. It's a KL line so it should be cheaper but it also means that I can't communicate as often anymore.

My old line will still be around for private reasons and emergencies.

God Bless,
Sam

Sincerest Condolences & Deepest Sympathies to Pearly Ng and Family

2005-06-23T23:15:00.000+08:00

Dear Pearly and Colin,

I am sorry for your lost and I pray that both of you will be able to find the strength to carry on. Life on Earth has always been temporal and your mother is now safe in the arms of the Lord, never need to worry about sickness and pain any longer.

Though your mother may be gone, always remember that she will always live on in your hearts, in your memories, and that CANNOT be taken away from you. As long as you keep the ones you love in your hearts and memories, they will never be truly gone forever.

I feel that the rest of the year will be a great challenge to you, Pearly. Whether you will emerge unscathed is entirely up to you. True, the journey will be tough, but know always that you have a great company of friends who will ALWAYS be there for you, to pray with you and to support and cheer you all the way. Just focus on your goals and let Jesus do the rest. Like I've mentioned in your previous post, Pearly, Jesus never fails! Your reward will be great and you will never be the same again.

May the Lord bless you and cover you with His peace that surpasses understanding. The Lord has promised in Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted".

For Christ and on behalf of Y.Inc,

Philip

All for Jesus, Jesus for ALL!

2005-06-04T15:40:00.000+08:00

Oh my gosh... Amanda G and Kien Wei's faces are blocked!

Hello people!! We just got back from our first youth camp. It was.... really, really good! Of course it wasn't anywhere on the scale a YC Camp or a HUGE camp, but it was... "small enough to be personal" (hehe... inside joke).

We had a really good time getting to know each other, but more importantly, we spent time getting to know God better.

Thanks to all you guys for coming to camp. Especially all the visitors. We really appreciate you coming to camp with us. We hope that you guys continue to join us for even better times.

Of course, thank you to all the wonderful people who helped out in the camp. Uncle Simon, Aunty Ratna, and all the core people. Thanks a lot to the musicians. It was really awesome.

Thanks to our "handsome" speakers. The messages God had you speak really spoke to us individually and to our ministry. We really appreciate the time you took out to be with us. Thanks a lot.

Come join us on Saturday's at 4:30pm in RLS if you aren't already with us.

Ok... I managed to find your faces!

Some of LIfe Rules - when you leave home

2005-05-24T13:30:00.000+08:00

Bill Gates' Rules
___________

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now.
They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT.
In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters.
You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Camp!!!! Camp!!!!

2005-05-19T21:53:00.000+08:00

Yo, Ratna called me up and told me no one signed up yet!! Hurry up and sign up, people!!!

PS. Ironically, I keep forgetting to sign up myself. Will do so this Sat or Sun. The silliest thing is I remember to bring the cash every single time. SOOO silly...

I wanna go...

2005-05-12T17:25:00.000+08:00

Hey, I wanna go to the Festival of Praise in Singapore this year. Hehe... I don't have any money to go... but I thought it would be nice if we could go together (that's if I can find any money to go...).

I'm going away!

2005-05-09T01:10:00.000+08:00

Ok... so it'll only be for one week... but I still feel like making a fuss about it; I shouldn't have to miss going to church when the Muslims get to go for prayers.

You can go here to find out all about what I'll be doing.

I actually didn't know that this is going to be huge thing! It's really big! There's gonna be people from all around the world and stuff... hmm... I think I'm getting excited...

Anyway... on the last day (it's a Sunday) I'm thinking of checking out early and rushing to church. I dunno... two weeks away from church is just too much!

Anyway, on another note... I think that emo Sunday was quite cool. We should have a revival confrence with Pastor Tuk (I dunno how to spell her name... is she a pastor?) I think it would be really fun!

Ok... so OH MY GOSH I have to write three more pages of my assignment :P but it's pretty smooth sailing at the moment. Goodnight YinCer's

Happy Birthday Jared!

2005-05-05T17:55:00.000+08:00

It's Jared's Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Jared!!!!

Our trip to Genting

2005-05-02T04:01:00.000+08:00

YinC Blog
So. It was last Saturday the 30th. The last day of April 2005. That we were all supposed to meet at 12 noon to start our journey up to Genting.

However due to unforeseen circumstances. Like forgetting that it happened to be the last day to pass in income tax therefore making people think that's a good enough reason to park in the middle of the road. Causing huge traffic jamS on all the roads in Jalan Segambut.

Delaying even more the already late Jean and Soon Seng (Who were the last to arrive). The attendance of those who went up is listed below in alphabetical order.

Jared Rabiah
Jason (the big one) Ratna
Jean Sam
Jean Saundra
Joe Shakniah
Joewin Soon Seng
Kendra

We ate brunch nextdoor. Then split into the two vehicles. The Locke's van and the manna community service truck! The boys, except Jared piled into the uncomfortable truck. While the rest of us squished into the van. Sam drove infront, showing Jean the way. We communicated via walike talkies. We prayed for journey mercies and were off (apparently no one has seen Sam drive before. So the boys were unusually concerned for their well fare). The trip up was uneventful.

Once arriving at the Awana resort Jason arranged for our instructors. Then tranfered all of us into the manna truck. The girls (excluding Saundra and Jean C.) sat in the manna truck. Dumping the remaining specimens in the back of the truck. Who enjoyed the wind and sang all the way up to our destination with our instructors follwing close behind in a seperate truck.

We arrived at two wooden slopes at a 80 degree angle for our lessons and training. Our instructor was (blank space) and his helper was (his name). They provided us with two types of harnesses. They identified as; purple ones are for those with sexy hips and black ones are for those with excess weight on their sides.
After a quick toilet trip we were all ready and waiting at the top.

(Instructor's name) laid down his rules. As expected, what good instructor would just teach someone without making sure they'll follow what they'll be taught? None, obviously. We were first shown how to absail forwards. By forwards meaning facing the ground as you walk down. Scarier and harder to do. As explained that we humans do not posses a front bone like we do a back bone. So it was much more of a strain on our stomachs, as we soon found out. And on our hips as we had to use them to push our bodies forward.

(What's his name?) showed us how to position ourselves. That at all times our bodies should be perpendicular to the slope. He gave a little demonstration of how our trip down should be. Then reassured us that if anything would happen. His partner (his name) was at the bottom, would pull the other end of the rope. So we would be stranded wherever we were, and he would come to get us. Then came the question, "Who wants to go first?" Silence.

Silence finishes. We all volunteered Sam. LOL. I must depart. So please come back and join us again for the conclusion of this saga of YinC's firt absailing experience in Genting. On Saturday the 30th of April 2005. Find out what happens to guinea pig Sam. Well, obviously he made it. You still see him around. Ahh, but how did he make it down? That is the question. Yes it is. Good morning.

To Be Or Not To Be Accountable...

2005-04-28T11:23:00.000+08:00

Aw!! What the heck!!!

Guess what!! I am making a public announcement saying that I have thrown away all my games for the umpteenth time and have trashed my anime collection for the second time in my life. God has mentioned it many times before but...ha ha...you know how hard brick-wall hearts can be.

So, anyway, to make things easier, guess I'm accountable now!!

Pray for me ya? Thanks.

Hiking, Anyone?

2005-04-21T20:11:00.000+08:00

Like my post said and like previously announced, there's hike going on next Saturday on the 30th...so who's coming? Let me know by Sunday morning at church max! Thanks. Btw, what time would be good? Who can volunteer to provide transport? And how much are you willing to pay? (I know we have petty cash but still...) Reply soon, everyone, chowz!

Just A Sec...

2005-04-18T15:07:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, I'm in a bank in Melaka which provides free internet, so I just decided to make use of it. I'm just writing to give the image that I'm a dedicated member. HAHA!!! When my ban is officially over I will post a proper post. Hehe. Oh, and my Dad wants to know who's coming for Sat? He says miss out and...get left behind...hehe.*Sigh* ban still effective...
But Hey,
Life's Like That...Is it still that way? I kinda lost touch with it lately, hehe.

We made a big mistake... a BIG mistake....

2005-04-11T22:36:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've got it all wrong!!!!!! His name is not the MAKOOPALACOUP!!!!

Hey! Calling All Junior Reporters!

2005-04-07T11:23:00.000+08:00

Hey, guys, anybody want to sign up to blog on the weekly meetings? Would anyone like to do last Saturday for instance? *hint* *hint*

What?!?!?!

2005-04-05T00:11:00.000+08:00

YOU LIED?!???!?!?!??!?!

OH MY GOSH!

But I guess I will reinstate you... but... don't screw up... and... don't lie... especially to your feds...

:P

Hi

2005-04-04T22:58:00.000+08:00

Why should jared be reinstated i think that soon seng is doing a good job anyway he is under a ban and has lied showing that he is incapable of being a good moral human being furthermore the administrator of our youth blog Appaling! Well before any reinstating should be done i feel there should be a vote i think soon seng is doing fine? Nah i'm just kidding jared is a good boy and if he wants to be admin we should think about it k!

Request, And Info...

2005-04-02T21:34:00.000+08:00

I formally request that I be reinstated as a Blog admin. However, as I am banned from the PC for the period of one month, I won't need to be reinstated until the beggining of May. I am also notifying, all you guys that I'm banned so that you won't mail me and clog up my inbox. Thx.
Why am I banned? Because I my feds said so. Because they're out to make my like miserable. Hehe. Nah, it's 'cause I couldn't be bothered to do my maths then said I did it. Yeah that's a lie. We're all guilty of lying before, so shhhhhhh!!!! But yeah, looking back on it, it was pretty stupid to lie about that kinda crap. Oh, and I'm grounded as well by the way, for a month, which sucks. Hopefully I'll get off on good behaviour, you know, parole, and stuff like that. Or I'll at least be allowed to post on the Blogs. If not, then I will begin posting again in May, how crap.
But Hey,
Life's Like That...Last time I checked anyways

P.S. My request to be reinstated still stands however, on probation if necessary, I don't see why, but yup.

P.P.S. Is the word "crap" permissable?

Hi!!!!!

2005-04-01T00:26:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!!!!
Hi Robin!!!!!
Like... welcome to our blog!

Thanks for commenting... it's cool (and scary on the other hand) that people read this blog!

I think we've had a bit of a misunderstanding here. You've sort of made me out to be a complete monster!!! ...Your comments are all spot on... but they're sort of out of context... well totally out of context.

Yes! Jesus totally came to the earth for the sake of the poor, the wretched, the sick, the adulterers, the prostitutes, the homosexuals, me, and you!

You see, I don't have any problem with homosexuals. You make me out to be some homophobic pyschopath! I have homosexual friends, and like yours, they don't disadvantage me one bit. In fact, they enhance my life, just as all my friends do. I mean gay people, are still people are they not? I don't treat them different to anyone else.

Let's put it this way... If there was to be a celebration of fornication, or adultery, or murder, or even disobedience towards parents, I'd be putting the link to a petition against it up here (if there is one).

I'm not against people, I'm against the sin they commit. You see, Jesus didn't come to support homosexuality, or murder, or sex outside of marriage, or lying. He came to save people from it. He came to give people a chance to be free from sin. So, just like Jesus, I'm pro people, and anti sin.

Now, the reason why I would support a petition against homosexuality is because I'm against the celebration of sin. And as I said earlier, I'm against any celebration of sin, be it lying or murder. I don't support this petition because I don't like gay people. I love gay people. I have to love them, or else, I shouldn't bother being a Christian should I? You see, it's the sin I'm against, it's not the people (I've repeated this line like... 4 times I think... so I think you get it).

I hope that clears up some stuff... if you still don't get me... or if this still fires you up in some way... feel free to comment, and I'll answer you.

Now... onto the next comment...
You know, quoting things out of context can get someone killed... (I think...)

Let me quote your comments out of context:
"I ... wish ... to ... be ... steadfast ... and ... irrational..."

Hmmm, those are YOUR words I quoted.
With all due respect, not the most logical nor articulated train of thought, are they?

Now you see, you quoted me out of context. Although I quoted you out of context in a pretty extreme manner, I still quoted your words. If you look throughout your post, you will find all those words there.

I'm not going to explain myself concerning this. If you read the post, and if you don't pick out little bits of it, but read it as a whole, I think that you might be able to understand me. From what I can see in the way you comment, you have no idea what I'm talking about.

"Is this to say that the mark of maturity is being Christian? I am sure that there are many whom would disagree with you - including those well learned within the faith."

Now, this comment proves that you totally don't understand what I mean by that statement. But that's not why I put it up here.
I couldn't agree with you more than you could agree with yourself on that statement (remember, I said that all your statements are spot on, just out of context). Simply "being a Christian" is not the mark of maturity. I can tell you that for a fact. But doing Christianity is the mark of maturity.

So... (breathe in, breathe out... I feel like I've just spoken this whole post out in ten seconds)
here we are at the end of my longest post in ages...

To Robin- thanks for coming and commenting... maybe I should try to make myself more clear next time, but because it's an in-house blog thing, the things I write are understood by the people who they're written for. Yeah, I guess I should be more universal, sorry for that. Hope you continue to come and comment. It'll help us improve our blog writing skills :)

And to everyone else... goodnight... I wanna sleep... and I've also got to ask you WTFBBQBANANAS?

Speaker Thing On Friday...Oh Wait, That's Tommorow, hehe

2005-03-31T13:33:00.000+08:00

A random outburst of madness

2005-03-31T05:46:00.000+08:00

WHY!?!??!?!?! WHERE!?!?!?!?! Where are you?!??! Pearly and Cheryl!?!?!?!!? And Fabian why don't you type something!??!!?! I'm gonna hunt you all down to the ground!!

And dang! Jared! I despise it when you are right. You aggravate me. Grr...and I just know you're gonna burst out laughing when you read this. I bet you can even picture me going through the motions. With the facial expression, and raised arm, and fingers clencking to reach out and STRANGLE your neck (Which is currently grasping thin air)!

You see, dearly beloved who comes here to check and read our blog.
My brother and I shall be attending a Live-in-Seminar in Seremban, done by Lifeline Ministries (which is also the same one who does our DLS-Deeper Life Seminar classes). Which is an already signed, sealed, done deal. We cannot get out of it and wouldn't want to anyway.
So Jared, you shall just have to make sure the others come. Since it looks like Sam, me, and my bro won't be there.

By the way could you please post details about tomorrow night on here? That is also what this blog is for. A centre of communication. I'll need to know more about what tomorrow night is about, since I'll probably still have to call the rest. There's the whole transport thing to work out as well.

This Sunday, people. There is a "Night of Fire" Or whatever my brother said it's called. At 7:30pm at New Life Restoration or whatever that's also called. Man. I think my brain is getting sleepy or something. In PJ. Closest to it is my brother and me. So if you guys want. I'll check if we can use our house as a meeting point (if it's a good idea), maybe we can have dinner. It'll be the last chance for those who haven't seen our house before we move to our new one. I think this is all I've got to say. And I better get off now.

Poem...

2005-03-30T16:51:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, I had to learn this poem for my homeschooling, thought it was pretty good, so I decided to post it. Hope you like it.

If
By Rudyard Kipling <>
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; <>

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch what you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools; <>

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!” <>

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!

Ain't it great? Yes it is. Old people, (thought bubble with Sam's picture in the middle, appears above my head) should really enjoy it. Will pray for ur back Sam. Poor Sam.
But Hey,
Life's Like That...I think we've all figured that out by now, right??

Ouchie!!!

Btw, pray for me. Sprained my back. Much better now with lots of rest but still not sure if I can do much. (Geez, I feel so *Don't say it, Jalman, cause I will* OLD!!!!)

Sam

Hey, my first post! Just wanted to tell you guys I appreciate you all very much for your effort. I believe I mentioned it in my SMS but since some of you didn't get the SMS I'll post it here.

Jean - You're a gem, beautiful yet nearly indomitable in spirit

Soon Seng - Such faithfulness is hard to find.

Jared - A brave and courageous warrior. May thy continually slay the demons of negativity that try to capture you at every turn.

Saundra - A little angel

Cheryl - Thanks for your help and creativity. You're really an artiste of sorts.

Pearly - What makes you a great actress is not so much your talent, it's your obedient and sensitive heart. Continue to blossom, little daisy.

Ian - Such supportive maturity is rare. Keep it up. :)

Joewin - I'm glad that you didn't seriously crack under pressure. Stay strong, young one, stay strong.

Jean - Good to have you back. Thanks for your sweet spirit and kind support.

OH MY GOSH
OH MY GOSH
OH MY GOSH

If you people are going to start having BFs on this blog I'm gonna start deleting posts.

You might wanna take a look at this post again...

And another thing... I'm reserving the right to edit all that needs to be edited...
CEN-SOR-SHIP! CEN-SOR-SHIP!
I'm not trying to repress opinions or anything, but there are certain things that can be said, and certain things that can't.
Of course, we still have the wonderful invention called e-mail. Opinions still need to be heard. Get me?

I'm going to give you people all the freedom to post whatever you want to post, and express whatever opinion you want to express. But if I feel that the what you post doesn't represent the opinion of the whole youth (or Christianity in general or whatever), it's gonna be edited. If you stick everything to a personal opinion... then maybe it won't be cut... :)

I'm gonna trust you all to be mature...

Why? Hmm??

2005-03-29T13:22:00.000+08:00

And just WHY exactly are you gone on the 8th-10th? Hmm?? (Narrows his eyes and points his finger in your face) It's not very nice abadoning us like that,
But Hey,
Life's Like That...(I'm aggravating you, aren't I? Oh Yes.)

Why?

2005-03-29T05:31:00.000+08:00

How come Jared and my brother are the only ones who have posted anything? Where are the rest of you? Why don't you come on our blog?
By the way my brother and I will not be here on the 8th-10th of April. Which is a Saturday to Sunday. So we're gone on the weekend after this. Basically next weekend.
And Ian's birthday is this Wednesday. What do you people wanna do for him? Should we go out on Saturday? Should we go to church before prayer meeting and eat cake? We do need to make arrangements for either decisison you know. But I doubt the rest of you will see this, and I'll probably still have to end up calling you guys. But I don't mind I guess. I like using the phone and speaking to you all. By the way incase of some weird incident that you do see this, he's turning 14.

It Is Finished!!!!

2005-03-28T16:23:00.000+08:00

Ah, all the plays for this part of the year are over. After getting really stressed, really aggravated, and nearly calling off the play for 2nd service we rallied ourselves for a (if I do say so myself, which I do) rather MAGNIFICENT comeback, from the cruddy performance the 1st service people saw. OMG!!! WHO EDITED MY POST!!!!!! LIKE, I AM SO ANNOYED, I'M GONNA HAVE A B.F!!! (Don't know what a B.F is? Watch White Chicks, Nyah.) Anyway since I can now be bothered to finish the post, lets continue, shall we all take an enjoyable walk down memory lane?? Lets. Ok lets go. So after an unenthusiastic response (unlike on Friday night) from the people who came for the 1st service, some of us were VERY, and when I say VERY I mean VERY, how shall I say it... disheartened? Discouraged? Annoyed? Aggravated? Ok well anyways, we had half decided not to do the play, since Pastor had said that if we didn't want to do something it was ok. So we were all trying to come up with plausible reasons why we didn't need to do the play. We (as in Soon Seng, Pearly, and I, the key actors/actress) decided that we wouldn't do the play. But then we had to propose it to the Director. Pearly took this perilous task upon her own shoulders and came out telling us we were doing the play!!! HAHA!! So we had to practice all the changes that Pastor wanted to put in, in like 20 minutes, AND get them right. As you might expect I was in no frame of mind to "do my best" and (in my opinion) did a rather crappy and unremarkable job of it. However Pastor said, "Great, much better than the first time!!!!!!!" Like OH MY GOSH!!! And so, to cut a long story short, (well it would be LONGER if I said all I had to say) we ended up doing the play for the 2nd service people who thoroughly enjoyed it, and our spirits were bouyed (look it up!!!) back up.

Edit: It's so annoying I spent like 20 minutes writing this post the half of it got chopped off, Grr I ain't writing it again,

Edit: Finally got around to rewrite the post, It's Tuesday 29th March 2005 @ 1:10 p.m, If it gets chopped off I WILL have a B.F.

But Hey,
Life's Like That... (Even Though It Shouldn't Be)
Adios Amigos

Scaryfying...

2005-03-27T08:09:00.000+08:00

It's 8:09 A.m Sunday Morning. Pastor STILL hasn't seen the play which is to be performed today!!! I nearly had to dress like a retard for Mr. Director, and my feds had to intervene. How strange. But it's the first time in a long time that I agree with them. I will not dress like 1937 retard reporter. We gotta go and get ready for the play which Pastor STILL hasn't seen. so will write again after it's done. Very aggravated,but hey,
Life's Like That...

Sign me! Sign me!

Please sign the petition the petition against WorldPride 2005. Pastor mentioned it last Tuesday during the prayer meeting that night.

I know it says "American Christians" but you can still sign up if you're not an American Christian.

Please send the petition to all the Christians you know.

It's Finally Over!!!!

2005-03-26T14:19:00.000+08:00

Finally, after all that hard work for a three minute play, it's over! Last night we did the play, "When I Was Litttle" it was, to sum it up in one word, "ok". Thats it. Now all you actor people don't get all "Well I know I did great it doesn't matter what he says" the acting was good, it was the atmosphere that was just "ok". I mean, when you work this hard for something you at least want to be informed that it's BEFORE and not AFTER worship, right? Who's with me on this? And when you've put so much effort into not getting annoyed (well not getting VERY annoyed, getting a little annoyed is understandable, considering the circumstances.) you at least want some time to cool down, and 'chill' am I correct? Hey, am I supposed to use the YinC blog for ranting and raving? Or is that what my Blog is for? I need an answer!!! Hello?? FINE!!!! BE THAT WAY!!!! I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU ANYWAY!!!! So perasan. (For all you non Malay speakers out there, it means stuck up.) And after all this, to come back today, for another practice, for ANOTHER 3 minute play for Sunday, which may I point out Pastor hasn't seen, and might want to put changes, which we will have to learn at the LAST MINUTE, into? Anybody got an opinion on this? Or is it just me? Is anyone else aggravated until they're this >< close to exploding into a certain directors face? Or is it just me? Come on people!! Wake up and smell the....stuff!!!! Like OMG, WTFBBQ. *sigh*. But hey,
Life's Like That...So Perasan...

Movie Week

Movie: Return from the Other World
Time: 4:30pm
Where: River of Life Sanctuary, Segambut

This week

2005-03-02T19:07:00.000+08:00

Our usual Saturday meeting is on.

As usual, it's at 4:30 in church. Come at 4:00 for the prayer meeting.

Here's how it works.

2005-02-28T23:00:00.000+08:00

This blog primarily serves as the Youth in Christ communication center.

-Each week's program is posted here. What is posted here is final, unless we contact you some other way.
-Any events concerning youth which we think is beneficial for us will be posted here.
-All other youth meetings, outings, or whatever's happening will be posted here.
-YinC announcements will be posted here.
-If anybody has any prayer requests, they can be posted here.
-You can post reports on stuff like meetings, activities, outings...
-You can post testimonies here. It doesn't have to be a fantastic miracle. It just has to be something that glorifies God.
-You can share whatever you want with the youth here, just make sure it's encouraging, and preferably something related to youth.

If I can think of anything else, I'll update this post... but you get the whole idea don't you?
