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.

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge.

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
