اعْزِفُوا أَمْهَرَ عَزْفٍ مَعَ الْهُتَافِ، رَنِّمُوا لَهُ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً. (Arabic Life Application Bible) - Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. (NIV) PSALMS 33.3

Glory to God...

After trying my ass off to win something in the Information Technology, IT, field for around a year now, finally I got to taste victory.. Muahaha! Went for this competition with Kenneth today in some crappy college and university crappy place... Left school at around 7 in the morning and reached there too early... Had free breakfast - it sucked... After that they had some opening thingy.

Before we went to the computer lab to carry on with the competition, I was facing some difficulties - I needed to pee, badly.... I tahan-ed for a long time because some important crap person was on stage giving her speech and didn't dare to leave the hall... So I went for the toilet after the whole opening and guess what? There was already a line outside of the toilet.. Stupid college.. No cubicals or whatever you call it... I went hunting with Kenneth and Nabilah (part of the team) for toilet... And dammit.... I prayed that I wouldn't get stomach ache so that I wouldn't have to sh*t in those filthy toilets but I forgot to pray that my bladder to be more elastic.. HAHAHAHA! And darn.. What kind of freaking campus who doesn't have a public toilet? Suck wei.. Walk here walk there... In the end we used the lecturers' toilet.. Muahahah! Losers!!!

After relieving myself... We went to the computer lab and started with this computer thing.. The theme was 50 Years of Independence (bet you already guessed it) for an intro kinda of thing.. Hard to explain..

The moment I touched the mouse I was like.. DAMMIT.. What kind of mouse is this? They expect me to crop images using that son of a *censored* mouse?!?!?!?! GAH!!!!! The computers were lousy.. Because of that Kenneth couldn't work and our final outcome - SUCKED! Amen...

But funny how God works... I prayed last night for His blessings and true enough - we got third place... Our outcome sucked... We needed a miracle to get in the top 3 and thanks to the ONLY LIVING GOD, we did =)...

When we went up to take the prize, Kenneth said, "Praise the Lord!" I felt like crying... Glory to Him!!!!!

Stupid technology campus.. Lousy stuff.. Yuck!

What?

Clicking links and ads to stop the climate change? By clicking them the company ads will use some revenue to stop the climate change? Huh? Money can't stop the climate from changing.. Your attitude can :).

So don't waste time clicking on ads to "save" our world... Just do your part by taking care of the environment and encourage others to do the same.

My parents said....

.... that I'm wasting time on the computer... Discouragement....

CRAP!!!

I used 4 days to download them files..... I used up around 200+MB of space to download them.... And guess what? I can't extract the application of the Studio 8 because I'm using the wrong password.. GAH!!!! BUMMER!!! ISH!!!!!! RIP OFFF!!!!!! Gonna go find Adam....

DiamondEdge

I did these logos for my cousin for her assignment. Hope her team will use it... Glory to God!


The solo logo.


The logo with a simple background.


The logo with a youthful background.

Glory to God!

I'm back to designing.. Next stop.... HTML!!!

Why?

I thought you would like to know about this urgent campaign to free the remaining South Korean aid workers who have been taken hostage by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. The Taliban have already executed 1 hostage and are threatening to execute the rest this week, an action that could trigger a mass evacuation of life-giving humanitarian aid from all of Afghanistan.

The situation is desperate, but there is hope. The Taliban are all from the 'Pashtun' ethnic group, and observe a strict code called Pashtunwali. This code demands, above all else: "hospitality to all, especially guests and strangers". There are rumours of infighting among the Taliban over these kidnappings, because they clearly violate the code.

A global outcry for the Taliban to follow their own code would certainly be covered by media in Afghanistan and Pakistan where the Taliban are based – creating massive local pressure on them to free their prisoners. But these hostages are living under a 24 hour death sentence. We have seconds not minutes to act. Sign the petition below and then forward this email:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/honour_the_afghan_code/tf.php/?CLICKTRACK


Before you read my post below, just sign the petition first.


Alright, now my two cents. I was just wondering, why is it, that I only recieve this petitions and text messages about these Koreans? The petition is to save them physically, and the text message I recieved was to pray for them hostages, to help them spiritually. Seriously, I was worried and I was sorry for them hostages and I prayed for them to be freed as soon as possible.

I read a scripture in the book of Acts, forgot what chapter, but it was about Peter having a vision of a big white sheet coming down from the heavens. And on that sheet was four-legged animals, reptiles, birds and other animals. God told Peter to kill them and eat them. But Peter said that he will not do so because the animals are unclean animals. God replied that, whatever has been made clean by Him, should not be called unclean. The context rounds up that the Good News that Jesus Christ came to share with the people on earth, was not only meant for the Jews, but also the Gentiles - that's you and me.

That particular text/scripture, made me ponder about this question: Why pray for these Christian Korean hostages only? What about the other hostages that were abducted and killed? We weren't that worried about them.

I learned that Christ came down to earth to die for EVERYBODY, not for the Jews... Similar as our prayers.... It's not only for yourself or for Christians, but for EVERYBODY!

So yeah, the next time somebody gets abducted by the Taliban (I hope not), lets just pray for them. Lets forget about their races and skin colours and religion.... Lets pray that everybody is save from the clutches of the Taliban...

God bless. Sorry if I offended anybody..

WOOHOOOOOOO!!

Less than 5 more minutes to complete a download... Guess what's it?

Back!

Darn, being in the hospital sucks man! Hahah! It's so darn boring >.Woke up at around 8AM on Wednesday to get ready to go to Pantai Klang hospital. Thank GOD I took a nice bath because the hospital has dirty toilets... Even the room toilets... I think it's just Malaysians' habit to dirty public toilets.... Anyways, after "checking-in", they took my blood... Dam... I was dam scared wei.. After 6 years, I'm "finally" gonna feel the needle again (mind you, the injection needle went through my fist 5 times to find veins but failed 6 years ago). I closed my eyes and when the nurse poked the needle into my arm, I grasp (the right word?) shirt tightly to release the pain. Hahah.. I think the nurse was laughing at me when she saw that...


The ummm, sticky tape and cotton on my arm...

After that, I fell asleep and woke up at around 12:15PM. An ambulance was downstairs waiting for my arrival (dam, it ain't royalty...) to take me to Pantai Bangsar for the MRI scan (to scan my brain)... It only took around 25 minutes to reach the place despite the freaking heavy grid lock on the Federal Highway. They used the sirens and wow, they drove fast but steady. Thank God :). It was my first time going through an MRI scan machine. Was a bit nervous and afraid but it turned out to be just, normal... They put me on a platform and ask me to find a posture which is comfortable for me so that I wouldn't have to move in the machine. After that they gave me some headphones (thought they were gonna play some music for me) to muffle the banging and knocking sound of the machine when I get in. The machine is very narrow. I do not like it but God was with me. I spent 20 minutes in that horrible narrow place listening to perfect tempo beating of the machine (was tempted to tap along but not allowed to). I spent my time praying.

After the MRI scan I went to the canteen to get some lunch after fasting around 16 hours. Dam the food there was freaking expensive:


I took plain rice, with red spinach, with half scoop of sambal prawns, it cost me RM5:50!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Darn, with that amount of money, I can buy like, 5 packets of nasi lemak tambah one telur goreng dei.. HAhah! But too bad, the canteen was the only place to eat... There weren't any restaurants around that area, I think.

After eating, I waited around 20 minutes for the ambulance to come fetch me back to Klang. This time, the ambulance was a PBSM ambulance. Two Indian (not racist) PBSM members were there to bring my mum (she followed) and I home. I've been mocking and teasing PBSM members all year and guess what, I thought these two PBSM members can change my mind about PBSM but too bad, they made PBSM look worse. They accelerate to about 80km/h in a short distance; before we could even reach the highway we almost collided into a taxi (I blame the ambulance driver); when we were on the highway the man accelerates to an empty space at around 50km/h in a short distance; made me feel giddy and had nausea; the co-driver was super annoying and irritating as he tried to clear the grid lock with the microphone (he was very disrespectful, what happened to disciplined and respect to others? PBSM PBSM tsk tsk tsk); and the best part:


Check out his seat belt.... We were travelling about 110km/h (both on highway and NOT on highway) and he didn't even wear his seat belt.. Bravo PBSM! Bravo!

Those two people really made me ponder in my mind whether they're doing this to help people, or they just like racing and talking through a microphone... If an injured victim was in that ambulance, I bet the victim will not be injured anymore, he/she would probably be dead have way through the ride... That was how bad the driver was driving.. Thank God for the journey mercy!!!

Went back to the hospital and SLEPT again... Hahah! Practically, I was just burning my time by sleeping and studying and reading... Nothing else to do... DAM... I'm a healthy boy and they restrict me from taking home leave... Would have done exercise if they allowed me to go home =P....

I went for an X-Ray, I went for bone check up (forgot what they called it), I went for eye check up (funny but long story)...

The next day, the only interesting part was, the eye doctor dilated my eyes and it made my pupils big so that she can check the nerve of the eyeballs... For around 5 hours, I couldn't read anything... So basically I was just, sleeping again.. Hahah! But I went for tuition though.. Thank God for the good health... The only thing now I need to improve is my weight.. I'm too heavy and I have too much fats... Time to exercise and watch my food.. ISH! Haah! All for God...

Thank God for Poh LEong who kept me company in the mornings... Even though I felt like gay when texting you but man, you're a motivation... Thanks for the messages and it was only a Medical Check Up.... With weird doctors and ambulance drivers...

Thank God...

PS: I found out that my surname was spelt wrongly on drummerforchrist.com ... Darn.. Bummer =(. hahaha!




I shifted to a double bed room on the first night.. Was bored so I did those ^

ISH!

ISH! I wanna stop thinking about you!!!! ISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!!!

Not a Good Day...

Eh... Went to church too early today (duty in Fellowship Hall); so I decided to help Ps. Ree Shih out by arranging the chairs. I wanted to avoid to help her but I told myself; "Do it for HIM, FOR GOD I WILL." So I did it. Carried stack of chairs and all. Not much work actually. Then I went to take out the drum set from the GCC Library. We have a new set, finally! Need some tuning though. So yeah, carried everything, suddenly, BACK PAIN! Alamak.. Thought the bones or something.. So tried to crack it but can't.. Then never mind lerr.. Just tahan the pain.. In the end I didn't play the drums, I played the bass instead.. Just wanna do something new and have fun doing it. I know I suck but it's all for Him..

Then thought my back was feeling better but instead, it got worse.. Went for service then came back home, I can't turn at all.. My back is so painful, that I can twist to the left and right... Ouch! Now I'm struggling even to type this but, the internet is such a nice place.... ADDICTED! Hahah...

Alright, just using the computer for some EST presentation. Now going off to study Bible Knowledge. Byes!

Muahahahah! Double Dose of Jonathan =P. 20072007.. Beat that :P. Hahah! Anyways, for those who wished me, thanks a lot. Your wishes really touched me a lot. It motivated me in school, and it motivated me when I was studying... And it even motivated me to play a solo on my drums just now! Glory to God =). Thank God for people like all of you. Amen.

I'm so much of the person who wants presents all the time on my birthday. I love wishes. A wish is enough from anybody around me. The best wish I recieved this year was the wish from the Sunday School Cell Group not long before I posted this entry. Poh Leong invited me to view them on webcam and made an internet call. The cell sang Happy Birthday to me. Thanks people! Love you! Words can impact one's life.

Thank God for all the blessings He has given to me for the pass 16 years.. I'm expecting more, GOD!!! HAhah! All for You! For God I Will.

Found a website, Drummer for Christ (click HERE) last night. So I decided to send in my application to be a featured drummer. And guess what? I got accepted :P. Hahaha! Glory to God! Just sent some videos to them and hope what I'm doing will glorify God's name. Amen.

Glory to God forever and ever, AMEN!!!

Annoying?

Do you think that smokers and alcoholics (I mean them people who drinks till they get drunk) are annoying? I think they are. And do you think that them youngsters (secondary schooled) who just tried an alcoholic drink and boasts around annoying? I just can't stand them sometimes.

Smokers; do they know that they're not only ruining their own lives, their also ruining the people around them. I wouldn't care if they kill theirselves smoking that silent killer; what I care is smokers killing others. How selfish can they be? Not only that, they're also killing the environment (don't they read? global warming!). And the best part is, portraying the Malaysia Boleh parenthood; parents smoke in front of their children. Some parents smoke in front of their babies. How dumb can they be? What pisses me off is that, MOTHERS SMOKING IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN! Oh my goodness. I thought mothers are supposed to be the person who disciplines and sets a good example to her child? (thank God my mum doesn't smoke). Hmmmm. They call smoking (murdering others) modern. About drinkers. Come on, drinking alcohol is alright, but why drink till you get drunk? Don't you know that when you're drunk you don't know what you're doing? The best part is seeing females get drunk. The worst drunkards ever! And they call being drunkards, the modern way of life... Yeah, means females don't have dignity in the modern times? Hahah! Crap... And them teenagers, quit boasting! Nobody wants to listen to how you drink your crappy alcohol and how you got drunk. You call that being modern? BS!!!

And the bestest news ever; SEX. Oh my... What's going on in our community these days?! SEX?! Why so fast want people to penetrate your private part? Sigh... But the most bestest news of all bestest news is, girls trying to live life to the fullest... Oh my goodness, can't you people just be content with your life? Want to go clubbing, wanna go out and come back late... Sigh... And they blame their parents for influencing them. What's your brain for? To think of ways to have sex? Come on. You have your brain, you can think, so make your decisions, THE RIGHT DECISIONS!

Vodka for everybody! Sigh.....

Well, there's something much more better than the most bestest news and trends; something more effective than drugs, cigarettes and getting drunk; something better than sex; ladies and gentlemen, have you tried praising the ONE AND ONLY LIVING GOD?

Try what's right; not stuff that can get you killed. God bless.

Tired and Weak.

Why am I tired and weak these days? Am I dying? Most probably =(.

Love sick.

HeadACHE!!!

I'm having a very bad headache... The worst I've experienced after 10 years (the last time when I was knocked down by a secondary student). Can't focus on anything. My fingers are numb now. I don't know why. And I feel like sleeping. Struggling to keep awake. My bones are killing me.

Pray for me =(.

Forgive my sins, O Lord...

Say TAK NAK to Fried Kuey Teow

I don't wanna eat Fried Kuey Teow for the next 2-3 weeks.. I'm bored of it.. And I don't wanna get cancer...

What's Malaysia To You?

Do you see Malaysia as your country? Or do you see Malaysia as your playground?

I love my country, I'm trying to love everybody.

Malaysia...

As time passes by, people usually improve in something their doing. For example; one can improve in maths if he/she spends more time on sums and exercises. But for our country, as time passes by, we deteriorate. Corruption is the main business for some politicians in this country, there some Malaysians who just can't tolerate with the society, then there are some people who are just being plain dumb with their actions. It's all in the newspaper these days. I'm just paraphrasing all of them into that sentence. Our leaders are awesome but the people who are suppose to submit to them leaders' are just taking their job too easily. I respect the Prime Minister. He's an awesome guy. But the people working under him is just too, playful? Is that the right word? I mean, the education minister is kinda like taking his job like a play thing. Change syllabus, change this, change that, propose for usage of cell phones in school, then kena bomb only next day cancel proposal... >.< I know being a leader is difficult, but why throw away the good fruits and make our education standard drop? I believe that our education system had class last time. I'm just so embarrassed when people say that the A's I got in my PMR, are all pasar malam A's... Even SPM, if I get A's, it's not the classy A that everyone thought it was... Why change the old system? Why pamper the students? I know I'm one of the pampered students but can I be blamed wholly? Is it my fault that my vocabulary is soooo bad? Well, part of it yes, but part of it I don't think it's my fault. The Nilam system, why emphasize now? Extra Curricular activities, why emphasize now? National Service, why emphasize now?

It's time to change, Malaysia. Not for the worse.. Changes were supposed to be good!!! Leaders are supposed to set a good example to their followers... Why the heck are our leaders setting bad examples for us? Corruption, STOP IT!

Fellow citizens, for those who don't sing/respect the national anthem, what the heck you people doing in Malaysia? If you don't want to sing, then just stand straight and respect. Think you guys are too good for the national anthem?

All the bullies, nobody gave you the right to disturb the peace in this country. Who gave you to right to collect "taxes" from innocent people?

All those dropouts who are giving hell to other people, GET BACK TO SCHOOL AND STUDY! Get a real job... Don't go snatching people's property. Stealing's not enough for you? Wanna kill some more?

Pampered Citizens, why the heck are you discriminating other races? What happened to respect?

50 years of independence, how did we contribute? By corruption and stealing? Or by serving?

Pray for this nation. Pray for the people. Pray for repentance and revival.

Glory to God.

PJCF Rally

Went to PJ for their first inter-school CF rally. Number was small (around 60+ I think); but, that's alright for a first time rally. It's awesome to see that the passion of worshiping the Lord's name has been renewed in PJ. The fire is gonna grow. The CFs there need to step up and take the challenge though. Can't post much. Got to go. Bye.

Saturday, July 14, 2007

They Lied.

15 souls got saved during the rally. I was already freaking excited and happy because I saw my friend Seng Aun raising his hands up in the air as the pastor called for more people to decide on salvation that night. I was screaming like mad. The moment was awesome. Every time I think about it, that particular moment motivates me a lot. It shows how somebody has taken a huge leap of faith, for the better option in life. I text messaged Lorna later at night after the rally on how many people from STAR got saved (I was excited). She said three. I was like, WOW! Three.. That's awesome. Plus another guy from my school who accepted the Lord by someone else outside the rally on the same night. It's wonderful how God works =). So alright, three got saved. Was very happy. Gonna follow up on them.

Yesterday evening, the ISCF had a post mortem meeting and guess what? When I checked the salvation list, I saw under STAR - 5 PEOPLE GOT SAVED! Woohoo! Glory to God! Out of 15 souls, 5 of them are from my school! What an opportunity to serve the Lord by helping them nurture in their walk with God. Not to boast or anything, but I think God has a plan for the CF in my school. My school got the most salvation. Nothing to brag about. Glory goes to God. Amen.

Gonna get ready to follow up on them. Means, more serious time when I'm reading the Bible! Amen. God help me =(.

Friday, July 13, 2007

CF!!!

CF was awesome. Thank God for the three souls that got saved during the rally. I know two of them; one's Mr. Seng Aun and the other is Calvin Roy. I'm sorry for not knowing the other person. I've yet to recieve the list from the ISCF committee.

Time to study, but my brain doesn't want to take anything in! GRR.. Gonna force! For God I will!

School....

Why do we go to school for? Isn't school a place to learn? What are we doing in school these days? It's the same old chit chatting among our friends. I don't blame anybody, because I do it also. It's awesome wasting time with our friends but, school these days don't serve as a refuge for education anymore. Some teachers don't teach. When they don't teach, we don't learn..... And when we have free time, we ummm, usually don't study? Hahaha. Come on, we're with our friends. And the environment in the school is like, not a suitable place to study. Whatever we read, we'll forget when we start talking with our friends. I think the reason why I'm going to school is to just have fun and to get full attendance from now onwards. There are some awesome teachers in my school. And usually I attend school because of them committed teachers. Other than that, it's just a waste of time attending school.

But after relating to my Christian life, skipping school is not a good example. So yeah, from today onwards, I'm going to strive for full attendance. It's not too late to change. As a Christian, I should lead people towards positiveness, not negativeness. Haha. Means, Jon, no more dirty jokes.. HAHA! Changing is difficult. It's a long run thing. I can change for a day, but forever, kinda difficult. That's when God comes to the rescue. Do everything with His strength; ask Him for determination. Amen.

I'm trying to change guys. I'm really trying to change. God gives me second chances all the time, but the people around me don't. So it's kinda difficult. But with His help, I know I can. All I need is, to change for God.

My confession.

Design Design Design

Muahahah! I've the urge to design. First, I'm gonna get my cousin's request done ASAP. Then I'm gonna stock more images... This time, Slipknot members =P (I did them Metallica members before).

Need to study also. *hits head*

Sweet Memories

Muahaha! Finally I found some pictures of the ISCF Rally! HAhaa! Everybody seems to use Picasa these days >.< HAhaha.. Well, before I start photo-blogging, I would like to apologize for not updating my blog as frequent as before. Don't think I can do that anymore. Need to study, A LOT! Hahah! I'm behind schedule.

First of all I would like to thank the person who's ever-ready to step up and to take the challenge to keep organizing this rally every year:


Miss Tan.

Next, I have Miss Yin Har.. Whee.. Thanks for the constant invitation to join the Praise and Worship team this year. And ummm, thanks for being, not so strict like last year =P. Hahah!


Yin Har.

Yin Har couldn't commit fully this year to coordinate the team. So, this guy took up the challenge and came for almost all the practices and was a good critique. Thank God for this person for being honest that I think, really helped a lot.


Oh my, I forgot his name :0! David or Daniel? Arr! Sorry, God bless you >.
The first time when I heard that the ISCF President was this guy, I laughed... But in the end, God did a great job in his life... But I still laughed after everything. Well, because he can, ummm, make you laugh a lot even though he's being serious =P. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Mr. President of 2007, Adrian Yap.


Adrian.

I got two people to thank next... Muahaha. Firstly, I would like to thank God for the wonderful assistant to Adrian, who ummm, made Adrian focus on his job.. I think =P. Haha.. And next, I would like to thank God for the cameraman for these uber awesome pictures. Use your camera for God man, you got the skills, and, THE TOY =).


Miss Lisa and Mr. Daniel.

Since STAR and Kwang Hua is in charge of performances, one of our job description is to find the emcees for the rally. Muahah! I would like to thank God for these two people, who accepted the proposal to master the rally in a short time notice (1 month...).


Emcee Amy and Emcee Brian.

We are also in charge of the skit, dance and multimedia presentation. So we decided to split the job and STAR took on the challenge to be in charge of the skit, and the multimedia presentation. Kwang Hua was in charge of the dance. I would like to thank God for the freaking uber awesome idea He gave to Adrian to pass it to us. It was awesome. Also I would like to thank God for the awesome team I had in the skit. You guys really went all out for God. Thanks a lot. For those who got sanction from the team last minute, I'm really sorry, but that's the decision of those people who are committed.


Skit.


Dance.

The video will be uploaded soon. I will upload all the videos that I've done for the rally. Even the Mastercard introduction. Hahah..

I would like to thank God for the uber awesome Praise and Worship team I was in this year. It's really an honour playing with you guys, to take the duty to lead the crowd into worship. I had tonnes of fun and I miss practicing with all of you. Sunday nights seems dull and boring without you guys. Haha.

The band: U-Mae (lead vox); Swee Vien (lead vox); Rachel (backup vox); Joshy (backup vox); Dexter (backup vox); Jian Quin (backup vox); Melody (keyboardist); Fong Hei (keyboardist); Sue Ann (bassist); Kevin (drummer); Cassandra(sp?) (lead guitarist); Jonathan (me) (rhythm guitarist).

These shots were made the day before rally.


U-Mae and Swee Vien as the praise and worship leader this year. Good job. Glory to God.


Green and Red tees - Dexter and Joshy respectively. Others are choir.


Rachel.


Pink: Melody; Grey: Fong Hei.


Sue Ann.


KEvin looking stoned...


The most uberest awesomest partner I ever had (next to Han Ern though); Miss KC! She cute :D


Me with mask.

And for those I didn't mention above, phew... THANK GOD FOR EACH AND EVERY SOUL WHO HELPED MAKE THIS RALLY A MEMORABLE RALLY! You people did it for God, He was glorified during the rally, and He loves it! So servants of the almighty God, continue to serve Him. This year's theme was about purpose and future of our lives. The sole purpose He created us is that, His name will be glorified! That's our purpose of living: to glorify His name! So, continue to glorify His name! That's our purpose, that's our future. Keep each other in prayer. Don't let this chemistry we have among each other to break just because the rally is over; but strengthen it with God's anointing. Thanks for the company, thanks for the motivation. Thanks for glorifying His name, with me. Glory to God!

Some pictures of the Praise and Worship Team during our session in rally:










The Awesome Team.

Last but not least: ME!!!! Muahahaha!!!

ISCF Rally 2007 - Aftershock

HAha! I'm feeling, kinda bored now after the rally. No more looking forward for committee meetings, no more looking forward for Praise and Worship practices, no more looking forward for shooting videos, no more looking forward for skit practices.... Wow.. It's kinda bored.. But life goes on.

Yesterday was awesome. Went to Hin Hua hall at 2:30PM, wait, earlier I think. We started our prayer meeting and continued with our prayer walk around 2:45PM till 3:20PM I think. I watched the dancers rehears and dam they are good. Haha. The skit practice was alright. The Praise and Worship practice was fun (can't believe it that the worship practice was fun, last year dam scary... HAhah!). After that, the styling, makeup-ing started. I can't believed it how people would spend so much time on makeup.. Muahah! I got myself some makeup also =). Muahaha! I got eyeliners.. Yeap.. Love it.. Thanks Rachel, I repay your gratitude by giving Joshy as a present to you. Muahahah! Joshy looked like a pimp in his orange hair... Why on earth he wanna spray it all orange?! Haha! After dressing up and making up and styling up and whatever... We waited for awhile. Then the emcees appeared on the screen at around 8:00PM... I can say, that Amy and Brian Chow are the most creative emcees of the ISCF Rally. Haha.. Coming up with weird ideas, transitions were awesome... Keep it up guys. Glory to God. After the opening with my uber lousy video... The dance team went up. They did an awesome job... But I don't know why they still say they did badly... Hahah.. Right after the dance was Praise and Worship... Woohoo! Thanks God the light was shinning at our faces, we couldn't see the crowd at all! Hahaha! That boost my confidence.. Couldn't see anybody jumping also... It was all awesome. God's name was glorified. Then we had the skit and, not sure whether people knew that the transition from Brian to BErnie was part of the skit or not. Hahah. The skit went smoothly. People's comments were good, only thing that Mr. Bernie dragged to long. But it was all good. Glory to God!

Crowd started to leave right after the praise and worship and skit timeline. It was kinda ummm, disrespectful for them to leave like that. Least make a quiet exit or something. Very noisy. But one thing though, I rather have a crowd, who came to rally expecting something, than a crowd, just coming for the sake of finding a partner... And I'm really happy that the people that decided to accept the Lord as their Personal Saviour, are serious about it. Not like last time.. They went up to the altar call, just for fun 0.o... HAhaha... Ps. Gurmit Singh's message was awesome. But the sound system was... Bad... Sorry to say that... I thought i was too loud... I saw my friend - Seng Aun got saved and I was like... screaming from the stage during altar call. Awesome sight to see and remember. The crowd was passive this year though.. No "we-want-more" taunts... Hahah.. Thought can have fun for the last time but it just ended... With only one encore song.. Hahah! NEver mind, as long as God's name has been glorified and the seed has been planted in people's heart, I'm happy.

For those who missed it, you not only missed out on all the fun and uber awesome performances, but you missed out on God's touch. The main purpose of this rally we're having every year is for all YOU NON-BELIEVERS, for those who are lost in their lives... Don't always think about next year, think about today, this year... The world can end any moment... You can die even now... Make a decision, today... This is why the rally is here every year... To give a HOPE and a FUTURE to everybody to recieve His touch. Amen.

Pictures? I don't got pictures. Didn't take any this year... I took some pictures of me in eyeliners though. Dam I look like a girl >.< Hahah!




Dam.. Is this what you call cam whoring? If yes, then I'm getting better.. HAHAHA!

Will rip some pictures from some people... "Camerawomen" of last year's rally who produced plenty was in the choir this year.. So pictures are put on hold.. Haha!

ISCF Rally 2007

How Should I Feel?

How should I feel? Excited? Angry? Frustrated? Angry (again)? All these are just feelings. Feelings come and go everyday in our lives. But the touch of God is a forever thing. Amen.

One Final Sprint...

This week is gonna be so hectic.. One more video to edit, two more skit practices; now with narration (we didn't know that we were supposed to narrate till last Friday..). But I'm not complaining, because I know that, I'm doing it for God... I might fret a bit. That's the characteristic of a human being. I'm not perfect, but I repent and ask for help, God's help. One final sprint my friend, one final sprint for me, then I'm gonna jog and pick up pace for SPM. I will, For God I Will. Amen.
