Haggai

Over the next week, I'll be attending Haggai Institute National Seminar.

As part of the pre-seminar preparations, I was asked what my expectations are of this seminar. I told them that my expectations were fairly general, given that I have never been involved in any Haggai Institute event prior to this one. But their vision is an important one, something I subscribe to: "To help ensure the gospel is presented in the power of the Holy Spirit with cultural relevance and sensitivity to all peoples, especially in non-evangelized nations." (emphasis added) I've also heard many testimonies about how God has changed lives through HI.

So when I was invited to sign up, I signed up :) At this point, it's more of curiousity, to see what HI is all about. At the same time, I'll be taking this opportunity to hopefully learn (through the sessions and through fellow participants) and to hear about what God is doing through His people all over the country and wherever the participants may be from.

"Speak, for Your servant is listening." (1 Samuel 3:10)

Can you hear the sound of the static noise...

Thank you Green Day, for a truly entertaining rock show in Singapore!

The show ended appropriately with..."it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, i hope u had the time of your life..."

Happily Tired

I'm tired.

:)

My heart is quietly grateful to God.

I had an awesome weekend up in Perak. After arriving back from JB on Friday, we went up to Ipoh on the same night. After putting up a night there, we headed to Gopeng on Saturday morning where the guys at Riverbug took us to the starting point of our white-water rafting route on the Kampar River.

The weather was superb for being outdoors (another hallelujah point!). Kampar River is beautiful! Water's actually quite clean....of course, nice and cool and refreshing, with lots of lush greenery along the river. Rapids weren't as rough as those in Padas, Sabah, but they were still "syok" :) This time around, we even paused halfway to do some body-rafting, laze around in the water, climb a tree and jump into the river.

After lunch, we had a short trek in the jungle before we returned to Ipoh, where we just indulged in good Ipoh food...right until the point where we returned to KL on Sunday afternoon.

A tiring but fulfilling weekend, what more with Sunday night (last night)'s rehearsal ending at its latest ever time @_@ So here I am, sitting tired at the computer. Grateful and happy, nonetheless :)

This weekend, my department's having a 2D1N retreat to Port Dickson :)

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

It's pouring outside. I'm in Nusajaya, Johor now. Much work to be done in a short period of time. Decided to take a break and take in the "pitter patter" outside a bit and do something that I haven't done in ages: blog :P

What a busy time it's been! Not that I'm complaining :) When I get back to KL this Friday, I'll be heading off to Perak for a weekend of trekking in the forest and white-water rafting down Kampar River.

I had an awesome 4 days in Tioman last Thursday to Sunday doing the Reef Check Eco Diver course. Thank God I passed! Substrates (i.e. corals, rock, sand, algae, etc) in particular gave me quite a hard time and I seriously thought I'd fail that section. Am very happy to be part of a reef monitoring programme. Just trying to contribute whatever I can to take care of God's beautiful creation and our country's national treasure. Thank God for the good weather and good company in Tioman too.

I should get back to work.

Anyone interested to go see The Canticle Singers?

Arabian nights...are cold in winter

The last time we went to Qatar in September 2006, we touched down at 6.30am in 31 degrees celcius conditions.

A couple of weeks ago, we touched down in Qatar again at 6.30am, but in 9 degrees celcius conditions. @_@

We expected it to be cool, but never thought it would be so cold...silap also lah, we never check properly but just assume that gulf countries (read, desert) could never dip below 10 degrees C.

Brrrr.

Deserts do give the best sunsets I've ever seen, next to those at the seaside.

Food was excellent...I enjoyed arabic food extensively. So much meat. Lamb, yummmm.....

Speaking of food, it's time to dig in to Chinese New Year goodies and revel in the festivities! :)

5th day of New Year, i'm off to Sulawesi, Indonesia for diving....my first overseas dive trip! :)

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Arabian nights

Off to Qatar for work for the next two weeks....
