Hey ya'll!
Written exams are officially over! Woohooo! There was joy and celebration as I crumbled my BM question paper and threw it away. =P Could've remembered that the song "Hallelujah, Jesus is alive" was playing in my head and I was humming to the tune of it while waiting for the elevator. LOL!
[Vic, its the same song we sang when burning the idolatry thing! lol!]
Remember when I tweeted(well to you people with no twitter accounts, get one you uncivilized beautiful people!) mentioning how I didn't practice/use BM for more than 2 years now but at the same time mentioned Phil 4:13?
Welp, I was surprised to see the required number of words were to be MORE than 300 words! Like how in the world am I gonna write that much if my BM level has diminished to lower than a high school level of BM? =P
Wrote the essay with full eloquence and wisdom, including repeating lots of words and rewriting the question at some part. LOL! But I got it over 310+! Whats more surprising was that some of my coursemates couldn't even pass 300!
Didn't I tell you I serve an amazing God? Hahaha! Even as I write the test, lost for words, I found myself remembering words that I've not used for so long suddenly appearing on my mind! Wow!
Soon after the exam ended, I decided to head to Sunway to celebrate. Lol! Had in my mind to watch Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and I absolutely loved it! Two thumbs up! If you know me well enough, you'll know how I simply love cartoon animated movies! They're one of a kind man! Nothing like it. Haha! =D
Backtracking a little, while waiting for the movie to start though, felt that I should head to Popular and just grab a good book and read. Got two books before I went and sit down at the rows of chairs in front of the tv where they're advertising this annoying advertisement on this smart pen product name Robin. GRR! =.="..
Two books I got were "Have a little faith" by Mitch Albom and "The Fear of The Lord" by John Bevere, one awesome speaker who I really look up to! Haha. The first book by Mitch was very nicely done and I like the book (Christmas coming *ahem hint hint*).
The second one though was something different and extraordinary.. and it just spoke to me so strongly that moment just by reading only the first chapter! I just HAD to buy the book! Which I happily did. haha! My day then took a whole new turn upwards. =D
Also, was having lunch with a friend of mine earlier today when I overheard a conversation going on between some people sitting at a table behind me which really got me shaking my head in disappointment and anger.
God, REALLY use me as that hammer. It's smashing time. Freedom guaranteed.
Psalm 34:9
Went to Nathan's Mamak Corner @ OUG earlier just now in my awesome car! Picked up Joseph Ng and my coursemate Lee on the way. Why all the way to OUG? Because it's free! lol! No kidding! They had an open house and we were one of the few desperate, sad people with no life hungry, adventurous people who decided to go for it! Haha!
People start rushing to get the food and for a moment, me standing there in the queue holding a plate to get food made me feel like I'm in a poverty food drive like that. =P
I really like what I did with the car! I bought two stickers from Asean Avenue @ Sunway Pyramid the other day. One that says "There's no force greater than the power of God" and one colourful cool sticker that says "I love Jesus" hahaha! awesome! Now to add other things to make it more comfortable! =D
We reached there and to start the ceremony, they ignited a firecracker that was or SHOULD be used only on Chinese New Year, but don't know lar what came to their mind when they thought of Deepavali Open House... =P
People start rushing to get the food and for a moment, me standing there in the queue holding a plate to get food made me feel like I'm in a poverty food drive like that. =P
One thing however though that I've been experiencing this day was anger. Yup thats right, anger. I'm angry..
Really angry... In the wise knowledgeable words of the Hulk: "You don't like me when I'm angry" =P
#1 It got me angry and this feeling builds up in me as this morning I see College students (even girls!) smoking and acting as though its the coolest thing on Earth to do.
#2 It got me angry when I see the way guys in College are living their lives and I turn to God and asked Him that He'll make me someone these people can and want to look up and follow. I want that.
#3 It got me angry when at the Mamak as I look to my left at a table where 3 young teenage boys are sitting down, lighting up a cigarette to smoke and ALSO, acting cool about it. [I asked Jo how old does he think they are, the answer he gave was 15. Yes, they do look 15].
I'm angry, because while these people are capable and are meant to do SOOOO much more, the powers of this world are holding them back. I desire to see this chains be broken off them. I desire to break and destroy the stronghold of the enemy so bad, they will flee and know better not to mess with God's sons and daughters of this world.
Use me as that hammer God. Because I want to break them free.
Ephesians 6:12-"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
Yipee! The car is here and its finally mine! Bwahahaha!
(see that P sticker over there? =P)
And yup! My parents drove all the way from Laos man! Haha! They started on Monday and arrived today.
And the amazing thing was how in less than 5 minutes in my house and my mum already started nagging about untidy how the place is.. LoL!! =P Whoops! XP
See what I mean? =P When mums attack invade comes home. Lol!
But on the bright side, the "power" is in my hands! Lol!
This was yesterday's event at CF. Worship team preparing. The feeling of the preparation was awesome! So Hillsong-like! lol!! You know as if it is gonna be one awesome time of Praise and Worship. Ahh God is So Good! =)
Believing for a better day tomorrow! Remember guys, the way you feel attracts the things of what you feel to happen to you. ;) so be expecting of great things and have a fantastic week ahead ya'll! :D
[Isaiah 43:19]
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.
I was waiting for my parents and I saw a Kancil with this scripture sticker at the back of the car! And it spoke right to me at that moment! How awesome! =D
I've learnt something from Ps. Reuben last Saturday that completely blew my mind! And to top that, Rev. Daniel Cheah ALSO preached a SUPER message that blasted my day off to a whole new level! haha! It was definitely a beyond extraordinary weekend! I love my Church. =)
It really got me excited to want to apply these things to my life and see the awesome change that's gonna happen. Its a New Season! (Yes, I know we've sang that song so many hundred times already =P but its true! haha!)
One of the things Ps. Reuben said that day that really caught my attention was: "Are you found in the right place and the right time when greatness comes?" That was woahh!! Then I heard this: "Are you gonna let emotion or conviction drive you?" And as the verse of one of my fav song goes: "I'm not gonna live by what I feel.." (Guesses for the song anyone? =P)
I want to live a life of a champion. And as what Ps. Reuben said this is what Champion talk is: "God's glory and presence might be everywhere and anywhere else, but I will fight to the DEATH to make sure His glory and presence is HERE!". (He was referring to how David and his men went all the way into the Philistine's territory to take back the Ark of Covenant) FANTASTIC! =D
Its gonna be a greater week up ahead! Woohoo! Have a great week people! ;)
And there was beard! O_O"! And thus saith the Lord that the harvest shall be plentiful! =P But the workers are few! (I need to get shavers.. T-T)
Not only that. I noticed I suddenly have a mark/scar in between my eyebrows when I look atthe handsome man myself in the mirror! Quite a big one too! Picture will be up later. Haha! Its dark red and looks almost as if I accidently played with a lipstick and drew myself on the head. WHICH IS NOT TRUE! =.="..
Went out with my pals Jo and Victor yesterday just to catch up over the week and we got to watch G-Force (well, only me and Vic, since Jo abandoned and forsaken us =P). One of these days, I really gotta watch 500 days of summer! Made a mistake watching A Perfect Getaway instead. =S
Next week's gonna be one awesome week! Yes this week has its downside and times where the annointing of the spirit of slap is stronger than ever (=P) but no doubt, greater is He who is in us than the one who is in the world! We're gonna make it out through this, not just alive, not just barely, we're gonna make it out with our head held high and strong! YEAHH! ;D Let's do this PlanetShakers!
Vid of the day! Love this part of the movie!

This past week has been one of a kind! Lots of downside to it(ones that really hits hard) but also lots of victories and blessings that overwhelms them all and believing there are MORE to come! =D
Went out to dinner with the awesome leaders of SE(whom I love and dearly respect =P) to Klang to a place called "A li Tiong"(O_O"!) for my belated birthday celebration! =D First I thought it was the name of an Indian(I think?) waiter there (who was really nice to us =D) but turned out it's not only the name of the waiter, but was the name of the restaurant and the owner! O_O"! Because I heard my leaders call the owner and the waiter both by the name Ali.. So I assumed it was so.. LOL.
The food there was spectacular I tell you! Never in my life have I tasted such blissful Char Kuey Teow. =P
Lots of laughter along the way! You know its gonna be an awesome ride if Ps. Reuben's in the car with you! lol! Till theres the long jam along the way.. =.="..
After that the leaders came up with this spontaneous impromptu idea of going to the carnival that we passed by. Worse part was that the birthday people (Tara and myself) were commanded/forced asked to go on the merry-go-round! T-T And it was recorded! Pai seh ar!! lol!! Nooooooo! Can't believe I did that! lol!
It was a day to remember indeed! Thanks a million guys!! I wouldn't be at the level I am without you leaders! =D
Yeahhhhhhh!!!! Really looking forward to that! =D You never really see me having or buying albums of other well-known artists or bands like Paramore, Black Eyed Peas, Jason Mraz or Phua Chu Kang Chris Daughtry but you always see me into music from Hillsongs and Planetshakers. Haha!
I do listen to those songs (all sorts of songs! =D) and I have all kinds of them on my iPod which I do enjoy listening to btw! =D One which I got really attached to was Rihanna's "Hatin' on the Club". LOL! Love all sorts of music but when it comes to buying their albums, lets just say I'm not someone who would invest in that. =P I usually get them off youtube! haha!
But when it comes to PlanetShakers and Hillsongs I would be glad to! It excites me each time they have a new album because each time they do, the whole music and tune, message and power of the songs keeps getting better and better! I do not adore the band but I definitely love what they are doing for God and how they are reaching out to people through these songs of praise and worship! =D
They are all God-inspired works and there is a real HUGE difference when you indulge yourself in songs like "I know you want me" by Pitbull compared to "I Just Want You" by PlanetShakers. Hahaha! Huge difference!
There are songs that are just for entertainment purposes but there are songs that speaks of life, truth and all that He is....
Those are the kind of songs I want to listen to. What kind of songs are you listening to today?

God suddenly moves into the picture and changes the circumstances around no matter how small or how weak things may be! WOW!
I'm reminded again that when it comes to His plans, I DON'T do His job, instead, I allow Him to use me as His instrument and watch as He moves into the picture.
Its time to change! BIG TIME.

Hey guys! Its my 2nd day in Laos and wow, its actually good to be back in the midst of my family again and I tell you this, in terms of comfort and coziness, my family's place here is so much better compared to Mentari Court! Lol!
The toilet at my house here is so clean, even the toilet seat is whiter than the colour of my teeth. =.=".. Air-Cond sleeping nights are back and I'm loving it! Breakfast is set and ready the moment I wake up and I don't even have to do the laundry! lol! Thats only because my family have erm.. 3 maids in the house? Hahaha! No I don't live in a Palace! I'll tell you why when any of you guys meet up with me and ask.. =)
But despite all these things, I still miss KL. I miss Malaysia. Haha. And I'm believing I'm gonna be blessed with so much more, my future home will be so much better, so much more comfortable and cozy, a real good car that I can drive with! (So I'm saying goodbye to KTM's and public transport =P) and that I'm gonna be blessed with a beautiful wife who's all for God's heart. Amen! =P
But something personal and bad has been happening in my family which is really hard(not kidding here) even for me to go through.. And if you guys are expecting me to finally blog about something emo, you're wrong! lol!
This post is to shout out to bring glory to my God!
If some of you are wondering "why is it that this fella's life is always good and despite all those things that are happening to him he still remains strong. Why?" "Don't you have feelings at all?!" Lol. I do. =)
But the answer's simple, And this song here tells it so wonderfully:
The chorus of the song goes:
Hallelujah, You have won the victory,
Hallelujah, You have won it all for me.
Hallelujah, You have won the victory,
Hallelujah, You have won it all for me.
Death could not hold You down,
You are the Risen King,
Seated in majesty,
You ARE the Risen King.
The Anthem, not an anthem of remembrance/sadness but an anthem of victory, that no matter what happens, I know that HE has won it all for me!
I know that I don't have to worry or fear about what's gonna happen to me or when I'm facing something really bad or even when I'm faced with such a great challenge or obstacle, because I know He has won it all for me! =D
When I offer my weakness to Him, He offers me His strength in return. Jesus did not die on the cross for you and for me so that one day we could come together and sing Kumbayah and thats that. =P He came and died on the cross for you and me so that one day, we will not be limited and bound in chains, captivated by hopelessness, sin, shame, sickness, disgrace and pain but that we will be free and have life and life more abundantly! =D
Hallelujah! Its gonna be a better day tomorrow.
Surprisingly I am STILL awake even at this hour! Haha! Thought I should blog about a couple of things before I leave for Laos. Hmm lets start with what I did yesterday!
The interesting part of the whole journey was after finishing all the payments and as I waited at the bus stop for the bus to Mid Valley to come, a taxi came along and I just went on waiting for the bus anyway as I didn't intend to spend on a cab for transport. What caught my eye was this bumper sticker on the car with a scripture on it that says "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me" [John 10:27]
It was a really long day for me yesterday. Woke up and off I had to go to meet up with one of the CF guys for lunch. Then to OUG to settle all those painful lovely bank payments that my parents kept nagging me to pay off by last week. =P

I love seeing things like that placed anywhere and so I came to a conclusion to take the cab anyway as I felt that it would be something thats gonna be worthwhile.
I commented to the taxi driver how I like the sticker and spoke to him throughout the journey. I even managed to give some encouragement as I know, being a taxi driver isn't the most enjoyable job. =) I love to encourage people and seeing the smile light up on their faces.
I really enjoyed it as it lights a hope in them and in me that there are people like these who cares for others and can make a difference where they are. We both agreed on how obnoxious taxi drivers can be these days and seeing that there are people who are otherwise really delights me. God bless that man! =D
Looking back at all the things I was before, I can tell you that if I were just to get a glimpse of who I was before years ago, I would want to strangle that old Benjamin Soo to death! =.=".. O the horror and humiliation! *tear clothes in grief* =P
But who I am now and how I live my life now, I owe it ALL to the one who sits on the throne, The Alpha and The Omega, Yahweh, My Saviour, My Redeemer, El Shaddai. Nothing compares to the promise I have in Him! Mannn.. Even the thought of all that transformation that took place over the years as God continues to transform me just echoes expressions of AWE in me! I AM OVERWHELMED! =D
Some of you have asked me why am I so passionate with the things I do and about this God I serve. Let me tell you why. =D And I've found the perfect video that will answer your question perfectly! Haha! Enjoy! =)
What more can I say? Blessed? Let me know. =)
Hey people!! =D Aaaaahh even as I'm typing this I'm slowly starting to fall asleep. Lol! Had to wake up early today for my driving test! And just when I thought I had to be in the office by 6am(so I woke up at 5am to get ready T-T) I actually had to be there at only 7.15! *grr..* The good thing was that I woke up at 5am, so sleepy that I fell back to sleep and woke up again at 6.45am!! Seriously! lol! I tell you, everytime that happens, its seriously all God's work and not my own. Haha!
It was all good! What really frightened me right in the beginning was that there was a driver that was suppose to pick me up to the center and he came in a Kawasaki! Lol! No kidding! Was told that he came with a bike to save time from all the jam! But at the speed and way he drives!! Haha! I never imagine my death to be this way. lol! Because of that I was really scared and worried all the way, not because of the exam but my precious life! LOL! I came down from the bike and the fella smiled and asked:
"Never sit on bike before ar?"
Not in a death-defying way. No. =.="..
I was actually pretty tensed during the test hoping I'll do well! Was declaring for a victory over a challenge today and also for God's peace to activate in me and believe me, it works! ;) Halfway through waiting for my turn I have this really bad stomach ache and woah it hurts like mad! Really hate it when it happens! But with an assurance of faith, I laid my hand over the pain, command the pain and whatever to be put off/healed till I enter pass the doorstep of my house and amazingly thats what happened! lol! God is soooo good!
The first three obstacles, the one that I was afraid of most was the slope. But I made it through! Two of the other obstacles, made it through! Once again, God is good! =)
The road test however was different. I've got someone with a very nasty attitude! Went into the car and greeted and all I got was silence. So I thought, hmm, maybe she's just being serious (oh yeah, its a she). Without even giving me instructions (hellllooo??) whenever I make a small little mistake she would go "Ishhh! Engkau ni!! * and starts saying bad things*"
Err hello?? *Sigh* the more I think about it right now, the more provoked I am to call fire down from Heaven. =P But fine, I just went on, put on a smile and calmly take it in (as what she said affected my driving to a point where I almost didn't know what I was doing. =P)
Guess what? I passed. =) Once again, God is good! score: 17/20.
Heres a tribute to whoever wants to know my full name. Hahaha.
Saw this in the LRT as I took my own way back to Setia Jaya. I love the series! Still have not completely watched the complete season 3 yet!
Last but not least. The Pegawai JPJ:
*evil grin* A typical conversation in the future with her could be: "Mrs. Mazura *evil chuckle* hows your family? hows your little boy, the one wearing a red T-shirt right now outside the house? Has anyone ever thought you never to leave your kids playing outside alone? *evil chuckle* *puts down phone*".
LOL! Ok la! I'm not that bad.. XP
LOL! Ok la! I'm not that bad.. XP
Hey people! Its been such a loooooong time since I've updated, and yes I know its been a long time! lol! Got into the laziness of blog updating! XP

*Groans* Too... much... Orange Juiceee!.. D= Looking at the expiry date of my big carton of orange juice, the next day itself will be the expiry date! And there was about half of the carton left! I had no choice but to gulp them all down! I'm Vitamin C overloaded baybeh! Lol! Whatever H1N1 or flu viruses will flee in the name of Jesus and in the name of the overflowing Vitamin C in my system.. LOL!Youth today was FANTASTIC! God speaks in awesome ways and HE HEARS YOU! You are THAT special to Him! You gotta know that! =D And today He heard me in my time of need and spoke right at me and my perspective and thought as I left the house of God can never be the same again! HE'S SO GOOOD! Amen Jade? LOL! I got to know Jade through the CF @ Taylor's the other day and she's one amazing person! Love the support, the agreement(especially in prayers.. lol) and the passion she has for God and His people! Rock on Jade! ;)
SALT-ing today was an awesome experience! Unlike yesterday, today's one was Gooooood! What can I say? My God is just amazing.. I just can't help it but to be blessed so tremendously! Hahaha! =D
I need to get back on my sleeep! In need of a good long day of sleeeeep! Somehow right now, thinking of sleep is more attractive and desired than thinking of Megan Fox. LOL! (And no, I don't think of Megan Fox! lol)

Alright I'm off to driving! Take care you people! ;)
Hey people! Yes, I too realized that its been ages since I updated! Haha! My apologies goes out to the die-hard fans of my blog (if there are any!) XP
Well, this past few weeks has been hectic! With events going on and things to do, well, thats home for me! Haha! Its just awesome lar getting to be back and I'm loving it! Orientation starts tomorrow for me! Fingers crossed I would only have 4 days of classes a week which does not include Saturday or Sunday! Haha!
Hmm what should I update about? Hmm, come to think of it, today MIGHT be the only day where I stayed at home the whole day and not go out anywhere, but then again.. Sunway Pyramid is just SOOOO near! So tempting! I can feel it! I can touch it! (You did not see anything)
Some of the guys(including Laureen =P) went out for basketball and wow it feels good to be back playing again! Had a great time! Even get to meet up with some of the people from Saujana. But Wai Ye, Johnny and myself dominated the first game with the Saujanians man! Wahaha! We rocked (surprisingly! =P after so long!)!
Yesterday me and Jo were out for a movie at Mid Valley with Hannah who came back from Australia! Was really fun! Had a great time catching up with her after so long! We watched Ice Age in 3D but it was quite a waste! The 3D effect is just not powerful enough.. Hannah commented that the one in Australia is way better! And well, me and Jo felt the burn in our pockets since we had to pay 17 bucks for it.. T-T The movie however, was really good! Cartoon movies are getting better each day! =D
Then later when Hannah had to leave, guess what we guys decide to do? YES! Finger exercise! Not DOTA, but LEFT4DEAD! YEAHHH! Lol! We went to Cybertime and played for a couple of hours and went back! It was all good.. =)
God is gonna take Soaring Eagles to a whole new level, really really looking forward to it! ;)

Hey guys!! I'm finally back in KL again! Haha! MAD camp was simply FANTASTIC! I just can't fully describe it but what I can tell you is that you MUST come for the next MAD camp! ITS JUST AMAZING! You'll never be the same again!
Well, as some of you might know, I'm currently living on my own! Haha! Living at Subang and about to go through the 2nd day living by myself! haha! Things are actually going really well! With the washing, ironing, cleaning.. One prob is the Surau nearby.. T-T EARLY in the morning can hear them praying and its so loud that it was as if they planted a mega speaker somewhere in the condo near the swimming pool! =.="...
Yesterday I went alone to Sunway, which was pretty fun btw! haha! it was an awesome feeling.. XP Went there to buy some stuff back and thought I'll watch a movie so I watched The Terminator! Played a lil of arcade first.. XP (P.S House of the dead 3 sucks! No shooting effects like Time Crisis 3! XP)
Today however, went to MV with Jo Ng and Kok Jen and we had a real good time! Watched Night at the Museum 2 for our first movie and it wasn't until Jo suggested for us to watch a 2nd movie that we watched Monsters vs Aliens in 3D!! Lol!! Those two movies were awesome! Can tell when Jo's beside you laughing his head off.. LOL! But one thing ar! That fella aiyo I tell you.. I was on my way to MV and was already running late thanks to KTM's brilliant timing and since I was already gonna be late, I told them to hide my ticket somewhere and I'll go get it since they already paid for my ticket..
Think about it, thats like so cool! Secret agent kinda stuff! Lol! Then that fella go smsed me saying that I am suppose to go to one guy on the far left of the popcorn counter and say "One happy meal please with extra happy" and he will give me my ticket. When I read that I was laughing man! Lol! Thinking how in the world did that fella thought this up. The bad thing is.. I believed him.. LOL!
So I went there.. Standing and thinking whether I should do it or not.. LOL.. And just when I was ABOUT to, Thank God KJ came to my rescue.. LOL! And there was Jo Ng, sitting at one table, top floor of McD looking at me, eating his meal.. =.="... And when I asked where's the ticket, it was with him... and he was recording the whole thing.. LOL! GAhhhhhh! Good thing I didn't make a fool out of myself and ask that person for my happy meal.. =.=".. JOOOO! I'll get you!
Yeah Barcelona!
Booooo Man Utd! LOL!
YEAHHHH CHELSEA!!
Oh well, sorry Joseph Dimmick.. Man Utd is just not meant to be.. LOL
Ahh folks, my time in Laos is about to come.. to an end... Woohoo! Nevertheless I find it truly weird that one can only learn to appreciate something when the end of it comes. And boy has it been one heck of a journey! But now its time to pack up, go back home and start a new exciting adventure: COLLEGE! =D
I STILL have not packed yet.. XP Because if I pack now, it'll be even more difficult for me choosing what clothes to keep and to wear for the remaining days before heading back to KL! Lol!
However! I did try out that new Japanese restaurant in town! =P

Look! I also found Disneyland right here in Laos! =D .... =.="...
This is seriously one awesome shot man.. Lol! The effect of it is chunted! Thats Ton btw, with a torchlight behind a wall during the concert. We're backstage and just waiting for our queue. Lol!The concert was awesome! Credits to Temasek for making it such a memorable one! =D I was the emcee and it worked out pretty well! As usual, the school is proned to getting things not COMPLETELY organized but in the end it was all good.. =)
Temasek did a fantastic job on their show! They started with their catwalk, then their Dikir Barat and their dance! Which was so energetic and full of power! lol! Not like the school's dance here one.. Like what only.. (Shh! XP) After the concert all the Temasek students and some of us senior students went out to a nearby shop to have our very late dinner. Poor students, they're probably starving and all they had to eat was Nasi Goreng and some Lao noodles when they're probably craving for Char Kuey Teow or Pan Mee. Lol!
Since there was this homestay program that was planned among the teachers (meaning that the students from Temasek are assigned to one of the students from my school who wants to host them/let them stay at our place) some of the guys went over to Jacky's since he's hosting 4 of them! Plus 2 more, Jun and myself! Lol!! (we decided to bunk in with him since I'm not hosting anyone and it sounds like its gonna be fun!)
We got to know each other a little bit more as we spend time togetherplaying PS2
and we stayed up till 3am! lol! Till each one of them start leaving the room to take shower and the next thing you know, they're all asleep.. LOL! But ahh those guys are an awesome bunch of people.. =) Gonna miss them! We got to know each other a little bit more as we spend time together
Well guys! See you this thursday! ;)
The Temasek students of Singapore came to my school just yesterday and it was a real fun experience! They're quite a friendly bunch (leng lui pun ada wor! XP) and I must say, it feels GREAT again to finally speak to someone with "lahs" and "mahs" and the Malaysian/Singapore english accent!.. haha!
We started off with the recognition and graduation ceremony. Really feel sorry for the Singapore bunch as they had to sit all the way through it and they had nothing to do with the ceremony! lol! It was an event to remember! 4 awards!! Now thats something that comes like once in a lifetime man! Lol!! Outstanding Student Award, Best Student in ICT Award, Best Basketball Player Award and Best Sportman of KIS Award. It is simply amazing! And I wouldn't have done it without this God whom I serve. =D Pictures will be posted soon.. I hope.. XP
Today's the big annual concert and just earlier we had a practice session and with the Temasek people doing their catwalk-dikir barat-dance, its just fantastic! Their dance is so much more energetic, joyful and better than our school's! Lol! And I'm not saying this because of the Singaporean leng lui(s)! XP But man! You gotta admit, those girls look WAY better than the girls at my school.. LOL!
As for me, I'm one of the emcees for the event and also I'll be playing "Love Story" with the band a few hours from now! =D
1 freaking week till KL!!!! WOOOOO!
Its showtime!

Second post in less than 10 minutes! lol!
I came across a message in twitter and it was about people krumping for Jesus! Now that is new! Krumping is a type of new street style dance (the quite aggressive kind) which is mostly use in dance battles in the streets and in the video you'll see why! And wow! These people are dancing, using it as their way of praise to God! Which I find is truly awesome!! Its amazing and I love this statement in the article in the end which went:
"God wants to hear what you want to say, and he don't care how you say it, and if you say it like this" -- Lewis contorted himself, krump-like -- "he hears you."
Yes, they might like look like they're possessed or something but they're not.. XP This dance is simply wicked (awesome)!

Woo! I've got to skip school and instead go for two weeks of driving lessons! Well reasons for that is because MOST of the students are off taking their exams in Thailand, so since me and some other students don't need it, we're stuck here in Laos and on Monday while I came and stayed the whole day, two came and went back in the middle of the day, the rest just didn't bother coming.. =.=".. The school was not too shabby.. Good enough to learn a couple of stuffs! Even got the chance to drive mum's Nissan X-Trail on the road today! haha! It was a nervous yet awesome experience..
See that red car there? Thats the manual car that goes when you release the clutch! O_O".. You don't even have to step on the gas and to top that, the gas pedal is even locked with a block of wood! =.=".. See that rusty roof there? Thats the office.. ^^
One thing I notice about Laos though is that once you're just a little bit away from the city, you'll get a BIG spectacular view of the sky which I find really fascinating! Its so hard to get those scenic views when every corner you look, theres a building that short sights you from an awesome God made view.. =) And you can see a few of them on these pics!
Ahh its finally raining again! Love it! Welp, thats all for now.. 3 more weeks till KL peeps! Excited yet burdened by a couple of things that has been troubling me.. But hey, He is faithful.. ;)

One thing I find rather interesting here is that when there would be big celebrations and flashy advertisements all over the world on Mother's day, and where there would be gifts and flowers on sale for this special event, Laos would be in a totally different dimension.. =.="..
I went to this store looking for something to buy for my mum and I couldn't find anything much that relates to mother's day! The products there were mostly (if not all) made in China and the last thing I would want to buy on Mother's day is a wish card that has english written chinese words on it.. =.=".. Oh oh! And they still sell Christmas cards! XP
But with all that aside, we are just blessed by these women for who they are in our lives.. =) So to all dearly beloved mums...

VIETNAM: MASSIVE CHRISTIAN CELEBRATION ALLOWED
Officials permit rare, open-air Easter event by unregistered groups.
HO CHI MINH CITY, April 22 (Compass Direct News) – In what religious freedom advocates regarded as a breakthrough in Vietnam, authorities granted rare permission to unregistered house church groups to hold a large, public Easter-related service here last night.
More than 15,000 people gathered at Tao Dan Stadium to worship God, proclaim Christ and experience a rare sense of large-scale Christian unity, especially house church members accustomed to meeting in small groups. The only other such event granted to unregistered groups was an open-air meeting during Christmas of 2007 sponsored by the Vietnam Evangelical Fellowship (VEF, a house church umbrella group).
At the event last night, the VEF endeavored to include all house churches, not just its own members, sources said.
Unregistered groups holding an event that includes worship and evangelism outside a church building violates Vietnam’s restrictive religion laws, and the celebration – in which 1,200 people indicated they had decided to follow Christ – did not happen without struggles. Reluctant to endorse such Christian unity events, authorities demanded and got the removal of one of the organizers – pastor Nguyen Ngoc Hien, who heads a Baptist house church and a group called the Christian Fellowship of Vietnam – as a condition to consider approval.
Officials did not grant permission until 4 p.m., just three hours before the event was to begin, though event organizers had requested permission several months prior. Authorities had assured them that permission was forthcoming, but organizers were understandably nervous. Adding to their concerns was the rain that hit just before the service began, though the rainy season has yet to arrive.
Since the celebration was held in the open air, a heavy rain would have been more than inconvenient. It rained just enough to refresh the air, stopping as the service began – an answer to prayer for participants. The celebration began with congregational worship; participants said the huge crowd sang with enthusiasm and joy.
“I never heard any singing like this, even in a Billy Graham crusade,” said one overseas Vietnamese Christian leader. “It was as if they offered to God all the praise and worship stored up in their hearts during many years of oppression.”
Worship included a dance group, and a 120-voice choir sang with gusto. Pastor Duong Thanh Lam of the Assemblies of God served as master of ceremonies, pastor Vo Van Lac of the Full Gospel Church preached a gospel message and pastor Pham Dinh Nhan of the United Gospel Outreach Church made an evangelistic appeal. People responded with loud applause and raised their hands in praise, and those who decided to follow Christ included old and young, students and teachers, rank-and-file workers and some disabled people. Witnesses said some were healed as leaders prayed for them.
Leaders of the celebration and religious freedom advocates in Vietnam said the event was significant in that unregistered house churches were allowed to hold a large public celebration. They added that authorities must have felt enough pressure to consider the event less harmful than possible negative publicity from denying permission.
The sources also said the event showed that Vietnam’s house churches, widely known for divisiveness and provincialism, could cooperate with good results.
“Those who have long urged and worked for unity can be pleased,” said one advocate. “While there is still a long way to go for Vietnamese Christian groups in practicing collaboration and partnership, this Easter celebration is seen as a significant step forward.”
A prominent overseas Vietnam leader who founded the Vietnam World Christian Fellowship witnessed the event and highly commended the leadership of pastor Ho Tan Khoa, chairman of the VEF, and his committee.
Some former Vietnam missionaries were incredulous that such events can take place in Vietnam, which until recently has had a place among the world’s top persecutors of religion. Prior to the Easter-related event organized by unregistered house churches, Christmas events were similarly held by the legally recognized Evangelical Church of Vietnam (South) last December.
“That a successful Christian celebration with mass evangelism approved by the government can take place in Vietnam where in some places Christians are still heavily persecuted shows the ongoing inconsistency of Vietnam’s religion policy,” said one source. “Vietnam Christian leaders have long prayed for such opportunities. They see these events as direct answers from God, whom they believe holds the hearts of rulers in his hands.”
Three representatives of a house church group in China were present at the service; they expressed amazement. They promised Vietnamese church leaders to send missionaries to help in the evangelization of Vietnam and invited Vietnamese church leaders to visit China to learn about the church there.
Vietnamese participants said the celebration was inspiring, describing it as “spectacular,” “splendid,” “glorious” and “phenomenal.”
