Sri Lanka, here we come!!!

I leave for Sri Lanka tomorrow morning.. Our flight is at 850am so we need to be at church by 550am.. We're flying SQ this time.. So exciting!! I'm really looking forward to the food.. lol..

It's been a hectic week of preparing for the different programmes that will be held.. Thank you all for those who came to church office yesterday to help pack the gifts for the children.. We couldn't have finished it so fast without you..

I'm excited!!! Not feeling so stressed like before.. I still haven't packed my stuff though.. Will go do it in awhile.. I'm suppose to pack light.. Boy, that's going to be a challenge!

I Plan to spend the day with my parents.. It's going to be an early night for me today..

Sri Lanka for Jesus!!!

My First Mission Trip

I've signed up for the Sri Lanka missions trip and will be going along with a team of seven on the 29th of Sept to the 5th of Oct.. It's been a week of mixed feelings - excitement, stressed, anxiousness, nervousness...

It's going to be my first missions trip.. I'm not sure on what to expect but am just trusting that God's going to move powerfully... and I'll be transformed..

I've never really thought that I would go for missions.. It was a very impulsive decision.. and now I'm glad I made it..

Must learn more about the nation of Sri Lanka.. God has already placed a burden in my heart for this country..

I'm really happy with the team that I'm going with.. I believe that we're all going to bond very well.. We've been meeting up weekly for prayer to prepare for the trip..

Will write more soon.. Very tired now.. Gonna head to bed..

Yesterday at Cell

It was a good time of sharing on how we can reach out to our neighbours and be a testimony to them..

The night started with Ai Li doing ice-breakers.. We played this really fun, confusing card game.. For someone who doesn't really enjoy doing ice-breakers, she really did an awesome job..

It was also Ai Li's birthday last Tuesday so we had a belated birthday celebration for her at cell..

Tiffany pouring her heart out in a prayer of blessing for Ai Li

Praise God for 3 new visitors.. Andrew, Qi Wen and JD (that's Yimi in the pic though)

Esther and Clement being very 'candid'

Qi Wen helping himself to the 'birthday custard'

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AI LI!

Bye-bye Blue

My bird died today..

It usually sits in it small little wooden house in the cage.. and comes out when we whistle.. But today.. Blue was so quiet.. It didn't pop it's head out the small hole when my mum called it..

Was so sad when I opened the door of it's small little wooden house to find it dead inside..

We've got the VICTORY

College Camp was AWESOME!!!

Refreshed in God's presence..

Made loads of new friends.. Bonded with old ones..

On the second session.. There were five soul saved.. and Ps Julie didn't even preached.. Only can happen with you JESUS!!!

Movie Review : Sense and Sensibility

I borrowed this DVD from my cousin last weekend.. and am glad I did so..

Synopsis:-
Directed by Ang Lee, Sense and Sensibility is the story of to sisters; sensible Elinor played by Emma Thompson and passionate Marrianne played by Kate Winslet. When their father dies, by law his estate must pass to the eldest son from his first marriage, forcing his current wife and daughters to find somewhere more primitive to live.

With their sudden loss of fortune, the sister's chances of marriage seem doomed. Their well-intentioned suitors played by Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant and Greg Wise are trapped by the strict rules of a society obsesses with financial and social status and the conflicting laws of desire.

Michelle's Rating : 8/10

A must watch!!

Another First

I'm still in Ipoh and leaving for KL in a few hours.. My cousins wanted to paint their mum's room.. from the colour it's been since they bought their house 10 years ago to a pretty pearl white..

So I thought it'd be fun to join in the fun and get my hands dirty.. it was FUN alright.. We painted the whole room and it looks AWESOME!!!

Definitely more painting sessions to come..
