Celebration, Farewell and Appreciation

Had a great time with great people with nice settings and not so nice food =x

No doubt the food looked nice and mouth watering delicious but it taste...

Hmmm...

I like the way Joel described it.

It's their taste and their recipe, can't insult their recipe just because we can't accept it.

*wink* faham sik? =x

Cordon Bleu in Blueberry Sause.

Our birthday boy ordered this and found out that inside there were still flour and is not properly cooked.

Grilled Sirloin in BBQ sause

Fish and Chips

The dinner was actually planned for

1. Bryan's belated birthday cum Jeffrey and Roger's birthday.

2. Gladys, Carmen and Edna's farewell but sadly Edna can't show up and she's sick also =x

3. Amazing Race committees appreciation dinner.

Our birthday boys!

May God bless you guys a fruitful days ahead and may the Lord grow up not only vertically and horizontally but spiritually

For Carmen, Gladys and Edna,

I will surely miss you all, remember me being the one that brought you all to Sarawak State Library to study alright? How I wish I can join in the group but I believe God has a wonderful plan for different one of us.

Jer 29:11

All the best!

Keep in touch

For the wonderful people of HSM Senior High.

The Amazing Race won't be a success without all of your efforts.

Thank you so much and love all of you!!

Too bad we missed out a group photo.

It would be nice if I could end this post with a nice nice group photo.

To tie up,

quarter 3 is coming up. New challenges are ahead and are ready for me to overcome!

Looking forward for my result of appealing to Unimas.

Honestly, I do feel sad that I see people moving forward in their life and yet I'm still here.

God, you know it all and u know it best.

Open my eyes.

If you close the door for Unimas, I go UTAR? ok?

Thank You Lord.

It's in your hand.

Amen

Cheers,

Finish The Bible In Six Months

As I woke up this morning. doing my usual daily routine. A thought just came into my mind.

Why do I challenge myself to finish the Bible starting tomorrow?

Since tomorrow will be the first day of the next half year of 2010. This is one of the goals I always wanted to accomplish after I failed for years and years. Must really try my best this time!

Thanks to Google search engine, I found many ways to finish the bible but the one that really caught is "Bible Reading Plan - The Bible Chronologically".

Click here for the link

Even though it's meant to be for one year but I will try my best to squeeze into 6 months.

For some advise, I mange to find myself this website.

www.wereadthebible.com

At the last part of the article, it says :

OK, you’ve convinced me but I have tried reading the whole Bible before and failed. How can I succeed this time?

I completely understand this concern. I have been there. I have tried to read my Bible many times before and always failed after only a few weeks. I have put together a list of helpful tips that I hope will help you in your journey to read the Bible:

• JOIN WeReadTheBible.com
• GET AN ACCOUNTABLITY PARTNER!!!
• Get LARGE print edition (trust me, it will be easier on your eyes and easier to read)
• Pick a time, read on a routine, the beginning of the day is better than later
• Don’t get hung up on difficult words (places, people, locations), use an audio bible to help with pronunciations, to make it smoothly over difficult passages. Biblegateway.com has the audio for most versions of the Bible available for free when you listen online.
• Don’t stop for a word study – most of the time these are tangents that distract you from reading your bible (see What does it mean to read the Bible?)
• Take quick short notes so you can go back to study more in depth after your normal reading time. Use those notes to post to the forum – We want to know what stood out to you!
• If you miss, don’t be discouraged and don’t try to make it up all at once! If you missed 7 chapters today, don’t try to jam 14 chapters in the same reading time tomorrow – maybe 8 chapters, or 9, OR just 7. The key is to keep going!

Hope I can pull it through even though I know this is really a challenge for me.

This is a life-time guideline for human to live a life to the max for Him.

Must do it!

Give me strength Lord.

Cheers,

Yuen

It's Not As Easy As I Thought

To stand firm in my faith is not as easy as I thought.

I've disappoint You.

Forgive me Lord.

Dying to myself with my own strength is just crap.

Give me the strength that You gave Paul.

Die to self daily.

Amen.

Cheers,

Yuen

My First Book

To kick off, I have to confess. I'm not a reading type of a person.

I hardly touch my history book when I was in my secondary years.

Thank God I passed somehow!

Not using it an excuse for not working hard in my studies in my future though.

Through my years in Hope, different people just come and challenge me to read books and they gave me books to read but I just cant finish it!

Even though I admire people that really investing their time in reading books and got inspired by what they had learned, reading it myself is totally a different thing.

Beginning of 2010, a book became so popular among the church people. Most of the guys were really challenged by it.

Yea, I was really challenged by just the title of the book.

Hmm..

What the heck?

Just a book.

So what?

This year Johnson approached me and challenge me to read this book.

Well, I was thinking no big deal.

I took it.....

Chapter 1...

*gulp*

Stop...

The book speared MY HEART LIKE MAD!!

I kept it with me for 3 months until I come to a point that I'm really struggling with this issue in my life. So, I took the challenge, took it out, blew the dust covered the book.

BEHOLD,

For a typical Gen-X guy, to by-pass the title is quite a heart-piercing experience. What more to say the content inside?

I was really challenge by the book for the first few chapters. It makes me feel like I'm the worse guy ever as I look back how I treated my past relationships. Gosh.

Thank God. The author mentioned about God's grace is sufficient for us to turn our life 180 degree =)

Yea, was really challenged and I really took it seriously and properly settled my past relationship properly.

IT HURTS!! Yet, is the right thing to do and is pleasing in God's eyes.

I cried. Yes. Aaron cried.

I need to pray that they will forgive me to because I believe I've hurt them as well.

Don't look back.

Let my past be the past and let God make me new.

Thank God I've got out of it.

Lets move on.

Matt 6:33

Moving On To The Next Level

As life goes on, I'm reaching to my last half year of my teenage life. I'm no more a teenager soon.

Getting old but this what we defined as LIFE.

Last night, my life group had a great barbecue night.

The chicken wings are GREAT! Found out Joel Voon is really got in barbecue even Roger's mum said " Joel Voon jing kiang o"

Then there was a presentation from 2 out of the 7 guys in S.E.7.E.N, Evonne for Gladys, Carmen and supposedly Edna but she can't make it. Sad.

My aim was really to make them cry but end up they are laughing.

This is the same song that Kia Sing, Vera, Diana and Mei Phing sang to the group before they leave.

Different performers, different audience but same Jesus.

It's really a good song to remind us that not matter what, Jesus will always right beside us.

Well, how I wish I could be the one listening but God has a different plan for me.

I'm kinda sad about it because I'm sending people off in this group for SO MANY TIMES!

I thought somehow someday people can send me off.

I just need to bare in mind. God is a has His timing for everything for the benefit of my life in His beautiful art of Life.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I'm leaving my teenage life soon. Waves of life is coming in bigger and bigger. Worrying about my further studies is a little taste of it.

Need to really equip myself with a strong foundation and a strong character to move along side with God.

All the best to those that is going to the next chapter of their life faster than me =)

God bless!

Never leave God and don't be a "loser" *wink*

Cheers,

Yuen

What was in my mind

Hmm..

As I was sitting there, waiting people to approach me at the booth.

One thought just came into my mind.

"Look at how much experience I've gain through my 20 years living on this very earth."

Let me list this down the major ones that train up my skills in different area.

I'm a student which is normal but I believe each student got their own hilarious stories to tell.

I was a former Batu Lintang Choir President

I went to Bintulu for Inter-school State Choir Competition 2007 and got 2nd =p.

I went to Kuala Lumpur for Choral Festival for a combined choir concert and competition which I got Silver Diploma =p

Represent school for basketball competition, got nothing.

I work as a promoter for Digi, Maxis and Celcom.

I help to give out flyers or this magazine called FreeAds

I work as an event set up crew which allowed me to travel to Miri to work for one week.

I work as a Clown as it is posted on my blog before.

I work as a sales assistant in Spring.

I'm working as an office assistant in British Council which indirectly leads me to education line.

I'm learning music skills through church.

I'm learning leadership skills in church.

My love life? (wuuuu~~~ =0 will talk about it soon)

I really thank God for giving training in different area of my life.

I know more is ahead of me! Preparing for it =)

Cheers,

Yuen

Education Fair In Chung Hua Middle School No.1

Wow!

For the past seven years I'm the one asking,

"Hi, can I inquiry some information about this University?"

"What is the requirement for this course?

Bla de bla de bla..

These is all sort of questions that usually pop up during education fair BUT this time is different.

Has been working in British Council for the past 2 months and this is my first time attending education fair. I'm not a counsellor but at least I could answer when students are asking about IELTS (Intenational English Testing System).

Thanks to Gabriel.

I had such a great working experiences. Ranging for admin skills to social skills.

Yay! Thank God for everything!

Cheers,

Yuen

It's Time to Change

I need to revive my blog as I was thinking these few weeks where can I just type in how I feel and what God has been imparting me.

Maybe it's time to really revive this as a place where I can just drop in to just fill up what's on my mind between me and God.

Gonna change my title too. TOO MUCH OF ME!

Let this blog be my journal with God =)

Amen.
