Truly Asia...

Well time for my post on KL!

It was a whole lot of firsts for me, and travelling with my friends from Navigators made the whole experience a really meaningful and enjoyable one. For one I was able to hear lots of their own experiences when it came to their church live and leading others, and also their own doubts and worries. And I really look forward to continuing to encourage them and let them encourage me as we all go about our uni lives with God in control.

I went there still remembering the trauma of past experiences in Malaysia, the time when my family's MPV was stolen at one of the Juscos in Malaysia... And 10 of us had to squeeze into an old, small, Mercedes Benz with a faulty aircon. That was certainly an upsetting experience, and since then I've harboured ill feelings towards Malaysia as a country. It was a time to be rid of those negative biases and truly learn to love even a place that hurt me so badly.

We went to a whole lot of different places and here's a list:
1. Chinatown - Petaling Street
2. Central Market
3. St John's Church
4. Bukit Nanas Eco Park
5. KL/Menara Tower
6. Bukit Bintang Shopping District
7. Merdeka Stadium (outside only)
8. KL Old Railway Station
9. Malaysia Police Museum
10. Deer Park (outside only)
11. Bird Park (outside only)
12. Hibiscus Park
13. Suria KLCC
14. Aquaria KLCC
15. Petronas Gallery
16. Batu Caves
17. Templer Park
18. Petronas Twin Towers

Quite a large number of places for 4 days, but totally worthwhile. We spent quite a bit on good food, entrance fees and stuff for our families and friends. For me the trip cost 400 sing dollars, but it could've been considerably less.

All in all, I'm grateful for God's provision during this trip, it couldn't have been possible without Him. =)

Here are some pics!


We took a train down. =D


Not forgetting the most important person during our trip: Jesus!


Malaysia's National Flower: The Hibiscus!


Finally, the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

Vox Humana

497th post. Its been a rather pleasant weekend, filled with Gihon and worship stuff. Really enjoyed myself baking with Gihon. Wished we could've taken a vid of everyone for Youth Day... Probably will have to meet them one day to film them haha. Probably will organise a homework doing session for them to complete everything before the hols end. Well Father's Day celebrations today went quite well... Only had a couple of hours to practise for the hoedown, and practise for the worship went comparatively better than the prac during camp. It was my first time playing piano/organ/keys/trumpets/vox for worship, and I'm glad it went ok, and I did it with God. Driving test is on friday... Not too worried about it, and also have no prob with failing it actually. Taking it easy, but hoping for good news. I guess its the peace that transcends all understanding thats taking over. And the most important thing for me for this test is not whether I pass or fail, but whether God was with me
