KL Trip + Fire Proof

Experience a great warm welcoming from Y-Hope Singapore!

Thank You Guys!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

读万件书不如行万里路。 Understand? This is one of the old time Chinese saying that rather than reading anything and everything about it, we will learn more when we travel and experience it ourselves. Really thank God for blessing me to have a trip this holiday to KL for 3 days and 3 nights.

This trip is really different because I'm ON MY OWN! No parent or some one which I believe our parents used to say to us whenever we wanna go for a trip : " Are they any one older to take care for you? ". Me! 20 years of age, finally got a chance to travel on my own. This really gave me a big smile when I'm preparing myself for it.

3 days and 3 nights in KL was incredible. The sad thing is I didn't get to take any PHOTO! Erg! Really gonna wish that I got my DSLR soon. However, I really need to take all those that helped me in teaching me how to use the public transport and picking me up from one place to another. Thanks Gladys and Jason Chai for picking me up from the airport. Really amazing! It really save me a lot of money. Paul, Anna and Wan Ting! I never knew they are so so so so~~ wow! They treated me really like a star. Guide me, pay for me and even asking me whether did I brought this or that like my mum. Thanks guys!

When I was n KL, my main purpose was to shop till I drop but guess what? I bought 1 shirt for myself only. My bro I got him 2 shirts and for my sis, 2 shirts as well. I manage to get a pair of shoe and 2 shorts before I go on to Singapore though.

Now! I'm in SINGAPORE. It's SINGAPORE YOUTH CAMP! I can't believe I'm actually here! I dream to be in the camp since I step into secondary life group and knew about it, if i'm not mistaken, should be about 7 years ago. 7. Like PP always say; 7 a complete number. I, now finally made it here. I'm not going to miss a chance of learning from the youth here, ranging from how they lead their own life to how they lead their people and from the praise and worship team to the multimedia team. Gonna squeeze as much as possible so I can be more equipped and motivated for the future enhancement for youth ministry. One more important thing, I believe is also to let learn to grow more in God myself. Be more matured and see things differently.

Few more hours the camp will officially launch! Going to prepare myself now.

Adioz.

Cheers,

Yuan

Don't understand? Actually it's just a simple thing made stupidly complicated.

Programming Test in 4 hours time. My favorite subject! Really hope I could do well in it.

I'll do my best. He will do the rest.

Updates!

Real man wears pink and real man cries.

------------------------------------------------------

Finally I got the time to update my blog but the sad thing is, my Sony Ericsson k750i died! All my captures are inside. Especially all the nice footage I capture when I went to four point for buffet with my family. It's so amazing! It's not really the delicious taste of the food (even though SOME of them do taste nice) wow me but the beautiful dessert they prepa

red. It looked so high class and delicious! How I wish I could show it here.

Nevermind! Anyone wanna bring me there? I can help you to get 50% discount. =p

Today is my first day of mid term holiday. I brought back 2 assignments

and 2 projects to complete. Holiday huh? It was really a great 1 month in Unimas. Get to know more friends and getting used to the life of going up and down home and uni. In this 1 month, I tried my best to be a good host to bring people around in Kuching, bring them around for nice food and souvenir before they go back to their hometown during mid term holiday.

That's the fun part in uni. The not-so-fun part will be my test. Had2 maths test and 1 programming lab test. I didn't really like the maths subjects but I love programming! It's tough because it's so logic. Yea, being logic is tough. Weird huh? Come and try programming and you will understand. I got a very disappointing marks for my lab test, I expected myself to do well. Oh well, need to practice more and learn more. Most important, humble myself. I found out a lot of interesting differences between West Malaysian and East Malaysian. One very interesting example will be "Ngaiti". Ngaiti means Walao. West Malaysian never heard of ngaiti and they find it funny and interesting. Just for your information, ngati means nothing at all. Just a word used when things are amazing, amusing or annoying. Guess that's how I define how I use ngaiti.

Ngati, I wanted to share lots of things up here but I didn't manage to. It's all in my beloved SE K750i!

Anyway, for the past 3 days was Hope Youth Kuching Unstoppable Camp! It was our 2nd anniversary too! It was really a great time. A time that I could really practice to lean on the Holy Spirit to pray for my brother and sister. I found out that this is 1 of the new gifting I can develop in, really had a great experience with the Holy Spirit in the camp. All glory to God.

I can't help just to admit that I really look cute. Agree? *Laughing out Loud*

More pictures will posted in facebook, so no point for me to upload it here.

Alright! Enough of updates. It's time for me to do my assignment. Wasted my whole morning already. Tonight I will be going back to Unimas. Pick up my friends, bring them to a nice place for coffee and do discussion for our project.

Really pray that through all these people can open themselves in way so there's opportunity for me to tell them how much God loves them! =D

Cheers,

Imagine Cup

Trained my body to sustain at least until 1am already.

****

Imagine Cup.

Heard of this? I'm very sure those who have not much to do in the programming world wouldn't know this. I didn't know what was it when I first heard the name. It caught me because I think the name it's kinda hilarious. IMAGINE? HUH?

As little that I know, that is actually a competition by Microsoft! No joke. This is an annually international competition for all those computer programming freaks, extremely creative and passionated in multimedia designing peeps to join in.

I was challenged and invited by my senior to join him. He kept on emphasize that he wants us to join in at our on will because it's gonna be a tough journey.

Guess what?

I took the challenge.

I did have a deep thought about it, especially whether I could cope with my studies and my ministry. I thank God as I told him properly that I don't want it to clash with my ministry and also when I need help he could help in a way or another since he's a senior, he would try his best.

He's very very convicted to go for it and really looking forward to win it, his spirit really reaches me.

After the the first meeting up with the team members and discussion. I got the whole picture of what he wants and what's in he aiming for.

Opps.

Forgot.

His name is Alvin. 2nd year Networking Student.

So, we are taking up game designing as our project. Believe it or not? I'm actually fulfilling my dream when I was about 11 or 12? Designing a game is actually in my essay when the teacher asked me to write a short essay about my ambition. Amazing?

Our theme will be about green environment, so we will be designing a real time strategy game for player to build a city and to urbanize it at the same time challenge the player to maintain the health of the environment.

To those who don't even bother about throwing your rubbish into rubbish bin, I think you will think that it gonna be a boring game. One more thing that really attracted me is that, I get to go UNITED STATE OF AMERICA for FINALS! If and only if we made it through in National level in Kuala Lumpur next year.

As all things approach, I really need to learn how to manage my time and priority well. It's tough that's why it's gonna be exciting - got it from Joel Than.

Pray that I gonna pull through all these.

Cheers,

Yuan

Melodies

I woke up this morning, some how my mind just flash back my life in high school.

I really miss it so much.

One thing I really miss is going back to school for choir practice. How I wish I joined the group at my early secondary school life, I would have the chance to go around in Malaysia to sing in the school choir.

I still thank God unknowingly got myself into the choir team in 2007 and reach until state level to Bintulu.

I missed out the competition in 2008 because form six hasn't started at that time. In 2009, I manage to join the district competition but didn't manage to get first. Thank God I'm able to go for Malaysian Choral Fest in Kuala Lumpur though, It was really a great and unforgettable time I had there.

Video posted above is the video of 2009 Kuching District Choir Competition in St. Teresa.

Lots of criticism here and there but I believe all those are not important. It's the process that counts.

Cheers,

Yuan

Focus

Today, I finally get to go to the gym!

I went there with my gym partner as we really decided to discipline ourselves to go and to pull along each other if one of us feel lazy.

The place was really great! Too bad that I forgot to take pictures, the place is big! Good equipments! Most important of all, got gym instructor!

RM25 per year. WORTH IT.

Can't wait to go for my second round. I just love it when my instructor said that, I'm not fat, I just need to tone my body.

WOOTS!

Now...

I'm all alone in the SIR room now.

Doing my lab programming questions later.

Programming is really killing my brain cells, BIG TIME.

4th day of fast and prayer week.

Need to discipline myself to pray tonight.

Fasting without praying is useless.

I really need your help Lord, I still got a lot of things to do.

Assignments.

Tutorials.

Revision.

Mid term test in 2 weeks time.

I really how much I can get into my brain.

Programming lab time.

Adioz,

Yuan

Where It All Begins

Here am I.

University Malaysia Sarawak!

Finally I get myself get connected again. The wi-fi at my hostel (which is called college in Unimas) is really bad. I can't get to go online often now.

My first day in Unimas was really not as I expected. I thought that everything will be arranged properly as long I follow the procedure. I WAS WRONG. I need to do everything myself! In a way or another I must say, may be I just took things for granted. Thank God for my wonderful brother. Colin Tan for providing me guidance and providing transport to bring me around the campus to do my stuff.

Yup! That's my room. It looked better after all the cleaning up. Especially the bed and the pillow are extremely dirty! However, the main thing I like about this room is because I'm staying alone!

It's a double room but there's no roommate for me and I hope that I will not have one to. I just want a room for myself. Lousy wi-fi is the thing that I really don't like.

Anyway, it's good so that I can concentrate while studying.

After I went through a full day of registrations, next challenging things I faced and I'm still facing now is arrange my subjects schedule. Arranging schedule is really not a easy-peasy thing for a sanguine person like me. What made it worst is because I need to get the schedule for different subjects with the respective lecturers. (Lab sessions only)

ERG!

Lastly, I thank God that I manage to know few friends here which I knew that when I was back in National Service. They manage to put in a lil help to make my life easier. Thank God for sending me to National Service. Now I manage to see why God arranged me to National Service. It's really amazing and these few of them will be one of my mission fields here. I'm not sure what I'm able to do but at least I know HE is able.

OH YA! My first night in Unimas, I manage to join Wayne's LG. Even though I had a little difficulty in understanding because their chinese are too chim-nology.

Thank God it was a fruit time for me =)

*******************

The Next Day

*******************

Good morning!

Spent my first night there. No mosquitoes. No noise. Of course, no "ghost" for God is with me.

Going for my first lecture!

So excited!

That's my route to my faculty everyday. It's about 10 minutes walk. Thank God for the nice weather. I was really windy and cool. So nice!

As I was saying, I was really excited for my first lecture because it's a another official act of becoming uni-student.

Guess what.

Cancelled.

Great.

BUT!

Here comes, I manage to meet with Mei Phing's bro!

When we looked at each other, it was like some how we knew it each other. He made the approach first and here's how it went.

Huan Hui: Hi, you are Aaron right?

Me: You are Mei Phing's bro right?

Huan Hui: Ya.

Me: How you know I'm Aaron le?

Huan Hui: Facebook.

Me: Wow, ok.... That's the power of facebook. Scary.

........

Me:You didn't ask me why I know you are Mei Phing's bro?

Huan Hui: Er.. How you know le?

Me: You and your other 3 sisters' eyes looks alike.

Huan Hui: Oh wow, ok... Our eyes.

Yea.

That was how our friendship started.

I need to go. ERG! My faculty "student lounge" closing.

I'm still in a mess with my schedule.

My next post will be about this interesting "student lounge" for my faculty.

Back to college =)

Cheers,

Yuan

Shaved!

My first Gillette

I do not know why I really don't like to shave even though I never shave before. Usually I just cut it.

Since I'm going to do my IC and my first passport. Just decided to shave.

It look better now! XD

Going off with Kia Sing for Laksa lu.

Meeting Pastor Denis for lunch later before I go back to work.

It gonna be an inspiration moment with Pastor!

Cheers,

Yuan

Life Dedication

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

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,

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

Cheers,

Yuen

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*

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
