Honest Presentation...

Special Fried Rice & a can of Boss Coffee???

Yea...that's the special meal that I had last week. One of my sheep dropped off this at the gate and my tummy was really blessed that evening. It was really nice. This is an honest presentation; a true 'local' food came without any funky packaging.

Would You Consider Me?

I've just had a quick chat with our dear bro. Joshua, who's currently is working temporary in Penang. He was supposed to be back to Kuching last Saturday, somehow the trip is now extended for another month. To sum up the conversation, do you believe that he actually requested all of us to pray for him so that he could marry a local Langkawian? Don't believe me? Christian doesn't lie 'de'. Here's the proof!

To have clearer view, please click on the picture. I have his permission to post this, ok!

So, any girl with a Langkawian IC no., are always welcome to submit the application. Deadline: End of 2009. Application fee: RM100 payable to Christian Tang. The success of the post is based on 1st-come-1st-basis + other requirements set by Mr. Chang. Only successful applicant/s will be notified.

What Do You Really Want???

It's time to make some clarification. Someone (whom I call Mr A) approached me on Good Friday morning while the SUT group was practising the Easter Mime thingy. It all started with a casual chat about certain political scenes that's happening in our country. To cut the story short, my face ended up in the paper the very next day. It says this:

Christian Tang, 33, was pleased with the new cabinet and hoped that those who had been appointed would work together with teh prime minister in carrying out their duties. "The new cabinet is a fair appointment and they should work with the prime minister and be more proactive in performing their duties. Those who have been appointed should ultilise the resources efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the people," said Tang. Tang who is a teacher supported the appointment of Tan Sri Muhyiddun Yassin as the deputy prime minister and the education minister.

My comment is this:

1. I am NOT 33.

2. I have NO comment about the newly appointed cabinet. In fact, how many of us know the real meaning of the word 'cabinet' anyway? How many of us know the roles of the cabinet? Frankly, the 1st thing came to my mind of the word 'Cabinet' was my baju-baju & buku-buku cabinet. I'm sure many of you can identify with me? Yes???

This is what I found in the dictionary:

Function:
noun
Etymology:
Middle French, small room, diminutive of Middle French dialect (Picard) cabine gambling house
Date: circa 1550

1 a: a case or cupboard usually having doors and shelves b: a collection of specimens especially of biological or numismatic interest c: console 4a d: a chamber having temperature and humidity controls and used especially for incubating biological samples

4New England : milk shake

So, the whole world knows that I have NO clue about politics, that includes MANY of you too. Well, I did make a general comment about how a typical Malaysian is normally not that 'loyal' to his country and we all know why. Is this a sad fact? Well, in certain way, it is. To change this, it takes more than great effort. Argh... we better stop talking about this before something happen to me - I'm sure Ah Cow would say that :) A typical Malaysian like me would always say "Ahh..dun tok so much lah, we can't do anything anyway. It's just the way it is. We are all treated differently..."

Of all the comments about the new cabinet, I do hope that they will work well with our new PM too. Whether we like it or not we can't change this, so better just accept it!

Hey, anyone of us here know who our new Deputy PM is? I really do not know till I saw the comment that I 'made' on the paper. And he is also the Education Minister too? The amazing 'ding-dong' decision on the language to be used in Science & Maths teaching MUST be resolved fast. That bugs me a lot. Does it bug you? Or you just don't care?

To conclude our dialogue, I just posted Mr A a question; What do we really want? That would determine everything that we do. It doesn't matter who we are. regardless of race, language, social status, etc etc,

What do you want?

p.s. Hey, I do like the Headlines though. Don't just carry the names, but ACT as one! Be a servant!

The Winnerman!

Last Saturday was such a memorable day, to me personally. The Easter Youth Celebration; The Winnerman was just simply awesome. God gave me a surprise; a huge surprise indeed. God gave me the number '150' & though I had little doubt about it, I still believed it by faith that we will hit this number that day. Low and behold, guess what! We had 161 people (incl. 4 WA). 10 salvation & few recommited their lives that day. It was just beyond my imagination. I just loved the atmosphere, right from the beginning till the end. Every second was great! The Mime was awesome, Video was very touching, Preaching was good, the Food was great; generally everything was very 'YAY-YAY'! Those who were there, you definitely know what I'm talking about. Isn't it beyong description of what God can do? This is just the beginning. The greater things are yet to come! Take it & believe it!!!

Let me bring you through the day:

Final Mime practice on Good Friday morning


The left & right view - the total of 161 people!!!


We had great time praising God, led by Aaron



A great Hand Mime of the song 'Who Am I' by Casting Crown, performed by Swinburne University Youth Group





Ryan, one of our youngest among us shared his testimony; he was honest, genuine, true to himself. No packaging, nothing. It was just him.




The song 'Why' by Nicole Nordeman, illustrated by YHope. The lyrics is SO meaningful. Please watch & reflect on this. I'm sure you will be blessed tremendously.



Bro. Isaac talked about the Winner Man! Sis Mary was part of the sharing to explain what 'Probability' is - wooo.... i still dun understand (hahaha)


U gotta believe, believe, believe it!!!




Few of tho who responded


Time up, time up!


The door gifts


I love the banana leaves!


'See what see!' - garang-nya



After a while, all are gone!






Posing time! Even Josh couldn't resist it!

We met up with the team again for dinner & guess what they were playing when I reached there.


UNO!!! They were not TIRED?!

Expecting a Great Quarter. Believe it!

Dress-Down Day @ TPS!

If the word 'Dress-up' exists, we should have 'Dress-down' too yea?

It's Dress Down Day today in the school. Kids are encouraged to wear basically anything under the sun, as long it is appropriate; nothing is TOO exposed I guess. Those who choose to participate, would have to give RM5 though. That includes me! I took the opportunity to do the same today & man...if you know me, I'd die to wear my most comfortable SHORTS! So, I did, with a simple T-shirt, Shorts & 'socked-Crocs' of course. How I wish we could do that everyday but then, if that happens, everyone might go wild; and yes, that includes the teachers. Many kids & few teachers dressed down today. Kids are casual, so do the teachers and this gives everybody a good close for the long weekend. Yay!!!

Kids were extremely happy during break time at the canteen & playground



Tingkatan 1, 2 & not forgetting the International kids too


Don't you think those trees at the back look familiar?

On a second thought, maybe we should have Dress Down Day for one of our Sundays??? That would be so interesting, I'm sure!

O.N.E Camp 09'

Wow...looking back at how occupied everybody was for the past few months & myself included. Haven't blogged for the past 2 months & I told myself I must tell people about the O.N.E Camp that I attended just 3 weeks ago (man, I felt it was long time ago). This is a very 1st own Youth Leadership Camp for us. It was supposed to be Youth Camp but when I attended YHope Heroes Camp last December, I just felt the urge from God telling me to gather the leaders in the house 1st, before ministering to others. So, the plan went on. We had 50 campers (included 3 from Yhope, 5 from Chinese Youth, Ps Laurence, Cikgu Grace, & the rest of us are from the Youth Group)

I must say the camp was awesomely awesome! It wasn't about the venue, the food, the activities. It was solely about God; His presence, His word & definitely His people! AWESOME! Though we had to move from Hope KS to Matang Wild Life, and from there to Kubah National Park, it was really THAT good!

Here are the committees!

'200' is the number given by God. I was 1st hesitated to take & believe but it is from God. We have a mission; a mission to accomplish & that is to touch 200 lives by the end of 09'. We were once in darkness but now walking in the light, must share the Good News with others. The blessing of God doesn't just end with us! On the final day, everyone of us made a commitment to one another; by placing our thumb prints as a sign of covenant that together we will achieve this mission, not for ourselves but for Him who has called us to be in His saving-people business. Are you in the list??? You can, if you want to.

This 'Cili-Padi' Ps Shirley. Hey, she's from Indonesia - we wonder whether all Indonesian Cili-padi are all small size - another version of Mina B.
