Asia Conference, Langkawi Mission Trip and Teenstreet!

Wow...after a whole 2 weeks "abandoning" my blog...
now i'll have to write all 3 activities in one go...

the Asia Conference in Singapore...
the mission trip to Sanctuary of Glory Church, Langkawi
and...Teenstreet camp!

Aww man...i think by the time you finish reading this you would be ending up sleeping or...
you'll be amazed by how much God had worked in my life and others too!

So stick to this post and read on!

Asia Conference
Shocking to know that there are 1000++ people from Malaysia ONLY joining the event.
and a total of 25 000+ people joint the conference at EXPO, Singapore...
it was a blast...whether it's the worship, preaching or the workshops...
all of them was an eye opener for me...and for the first time I was in a historic making event...
pss! Asia Conference even appeared in Channel Asia...
the best thing was, we get to encounter many great people and artist all around the globe...

True Worshipers, City Harvest Band, Don Moen, Carola Haggist, JJ Lin, Liu Geng Hong, Ps. Benny Hin, Ps A.R.Bernard, Ps Kong Hee, supermodels from Singapore, TV Host, Jack Neo, FungPoPo and...just so many more great people...
Influential people making a difference in the marketplace...the real world...

Being relevant and though they may seem to be just like any other people around...they are all shining brightly for God...
Influencing the people around them with their love and compassion to save the lost...
Really touched my heart as I'm gonna be in a hard industry someday...

Was really touched by Sun Ho's effort in the music industry...
Before that I really did not understand why she have to be involve with the entertainment world when she can be so comfortable in the church...
but it's about reaching to the world beyond the 4 walls of the church ...
instead of practising separation,we sometimes practise ISOLATION....

We tend to build an alternative world...
Live on our own...while other's are gonna die in hell...
minding our own business...
many times I have this thought that we are higher of virtue than others...
but we are all just the same...
we are all in the end...Sinners and only God can make us clean from our iniquities...
So yeah...i do respect Sun for all her effort behind the curtains
and because of her...I'm more motivated to go towards my calling...
less of the doubt and more of the momentum... =)

It's also a great time in Asia Conf cz I gotta spend time with friends from JB...
they are just to jolly good to be with...
and also great friends like Jan, Joanne and May...which is so similiar to my best friend Te May...
Their characters are almost the same...both very angelic ppl...
HAHA...

Well...minus the fact that we have to Q for everything ...
Man...Singaporians are great at queueing
Asia Conference was a blast!

Langkawi Mission Trip...
I think i'll try to make a video out of my handycam...
haha...since my dad bought me a new handycam...
Just cant stop video-ing all the moments in my life!....but i still haven't abandon my precious digicamera....

so yeah....

It was overall a very extraordinary feeling
cz it's the 1st time our church organise a mission trip ..
to teach others more about worship...
It's really a humbling experience for me...who am I? ...
an ordinary gal...to teach others about worship and music....

Yet they are just so willing to learn and they do appreciate us...
I'm just so grateful and blessed...with all the seafood...
YUM YUM....=)

Teenstreet 2008
Just got back from TS for like only 5 days...
and I'm already crazily madly missing it!!
Every year the same...every year will be repeating the same nostalgic feeling...
Though it's the 4th consecutive year I join TS...still I love it

Yea...though there are some complains and dissatisfaction on and off
yet...TS is one of the main factor that causes my spiritual life to grow...

Maybe many youths will experience the typical roller coaster ride...
you know...it's like you got all fired up in camp ...
all for Jesus...
but when you get home...it all just fades away...
the excitement, the enthusiasm...all seems to be left behind...

My friend, Samuel said that
"The trick is to apply what we've learn in camp into our lives outside of it. That's why so many kids get hyped up at camps but go back to being normal right after that."
and he has a point there...

This is just a thought I have in mind after camp...ahaah!

Okok...next point...
this year is also a year of growing in the Lord....and also learning to SERVE others...
1st time in the service team and a lot...ALOT of work to do...
but I just love doing stuffs for people...so at least I did it with an enjoyable heart...
YET...heheh....there are times where I did complained about my duties...
and trying to please everyone at the same time...

and that is a lesson I'm learning....even right now...
.

About the hot guys and hot girls part... haha
well...this year girls are more crazy about the guys from the band ...
while so far...i only spotted 1 hot girl in camp....
haha...maybe I have too high standards for people eligible to be rank as HOT
=)

And as I expected...a crush
I know it's really childish to have some feelings for a guy in just a short 5 days camp...
but ...hey..girls will always be girls...
at least it shows I'm normal....right???
I believe this crush wil fade away if I do not take it to the next level...
and this time I learned something....that

HOT GUYS ARE JUST SO UNREACHABLE!

haha!!!!

All in all...all these activities are no coincidence....
but it's all the will of God...
I'm just so grateful to be able to join all these great events
that really drew me closer to God...

and grow up a lil more each day...
