CIMP Graduation and Camporama

Its been a while, missed me? Yeah i know i dont layan you much these days..
(Yes, i know im talking to my blog, but you also la indirectly.. haha.. dont feel left out )

Its been what, months?
Anyways, lots of stuff was goin on so faham faham la.. I graduated! Finally free from CIMP.. haha..

Average aint great but hey, whats done's done right?
NO REGRETS
Its enough to get me where i want la atleast..
..... if i know where i want to go in the first place..
(How does Business Management sound...? Psychology?)

Was lookin at Suet's blog.. SO MANY pics of CIMP..
k la.. maybe miss a bit la.. a tiny bit.. maybe.
hahaha.. sheena gettin so emo..

A pinch from her side:

And then there was Camporama09
sigh... where do i begin with this one?
9 years of waiting since the last Camporama i attended (2000)
5 days of grueling labourous work under the unforgiving sun

The moment of the camp hands down goes to the Kangaroo mascot of Australia.
See, we were divided into 4 Cities, each themed with an Asian-Pacific Country.
The kangaroo mascot jumped and jumped when we assembled in the morning.
and suddenly stopped.
and dropped.
right in front of everyone.
heatstroke.

hahaha.. it was just a minor case though.. everyone in their city was laughing (which was a bit odd) and there was a particular FCF member there i recognized that continued to play with the Aussie flag... just saying what i saw peeps, just saying what i saw...

But Commanders quickly came to the rescue and next thing you know,
Kangaroo's on the First-aid team!!
top that, mate..

True to China-ism, we bagged the inter-city challenge award.
(China, being a lil 'off' in fashion terms, but always bringing the golds in the Olympics)
I got to manager and strategize the team members for China
Though we didnt win any matches, China had a steady 2nd place for ultimate frisbee, laser tag and some game about cardboard boats and lakes which won us the title.
All you 'Chinese' who see this, especially those who participated, CONGRATS!! each one of you did excellent and

Well its a national camp for every all Royal Rangers in Malaysia
4 days long (+1 for me because i went to help prepare the site)
with loads and loads of endless games and fun and fellowship
and to those manning the stalls of endless fun and games? endless work...
but no complains. nope none..

but oh, so blessedly amazing to see kids opening up
to new friends, to God, to Commanders (like me.. lol)

Also got to meet the whole bunch of them from the Glad Tidingses and Graces
and not to forget new ones line stephanie, joel, jessie, david, lydia, justin, amanda etc etc...

you dont know how much what you give can affect those whom you give what you give to

k thats all for now i guess
more pics next time la..

Easter, Treyc's birthday, Kah Yun and CIMP Talent Night '09

Well, its kinda been a while since pictures came in.. so yeah..

Easter

Easter was a good time to remember what really mattered,

why we do what we do,

Saturday night in Bukit Jalil Stadium

Sunday morning in City Harvest, Sunway

Puts things into focus again la basically...
when everything else is blurred

Treyc's Bday...

How to celebrate a birthday without the birthday person?
who cares? less men, more share...

here's to you, sista..

kidding laa..
We had sandwiches during your birthday, and so thought of making you 1..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Kah Yun

What to do when your friends emitted to the hospital with hemorrhagic dengue?
ANS: Take pictures... make his moment last... hahahaa..

Drip...

He's alright laa...

I think he's out now.. But his bro's sent in now... no prizes for guessing why..

CIMP Talent Night '09

Talent Night this year was great, in fact i just got back from it..
(no I'm not excited and typing enthusiastically, it wasn't THAT great... haaha)

That's why no pics too... cant steal from any blogs...
But, unlike laaast yeaaar, the money was definitely worth it..
The opera singer was goood
The girl who played disturbia was good too...

Other than that were rapping, singing, trumpeting... all alriiight la... i wouldn't say bad..
Kai Lai and the breakdancers put up a good show too.. not like last years slutty show...


Oh, and the Commtech videos in between the performances was purely hilarious..


And and and... they ended the students performances with a band (named 'The Hello Kitties', After Ms. Janie's obsessive affections for Hello Kitty...) doing 'Knights of Cydonia' and 'Plug in Baby', both Muse tracks...


NO WAAY.... waay too impossible...


And it was.. sadly, they had a band... that played with a -1 track... waat!? who you tryin to kid laa? They probly even stole the extra riff Muse did after Plug in Baby in the Wembley concert and acted like they were playing it..


But.. they're Muse fans.. and so, thou art forgiven...

Oh, and btw...

...nice..

Right now,

Right now,

Im deciding on wether to go back to Endau Rompin...

theres a Father-and-Son backpacking trip by the Rangers...

Upeh Guling and Buaya Sangkut falls on top..

Man...

Hahha.. WHATS TO DECIDE?

Oh after the malacca trip i headed a costume party by Sel7 Rangers

yes, i went for a costume party thing...

with a fedora from Malacca, even... hahaa...

And after asking security guard after security guard where that "house that belongs to the church" was,

i got there with 2 other dudes who were in the same fix... fancy that..

Anyways, heres a lil something from that night:

Ms. wat-time-izit?

The Count

Scrubs/House/Greys Anatomy/Ampang Medical (huh..?) meets Indiana jones/Australia (nah...)/Brokeback/Deadwood

No guesses here...

Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal

Darren Scissorhands

but none of us KL1-ers came, so quite sesat la actually...
i think ill keep the details on why it was so unpublished
But a part from that it was a blast! great job Renee and whoever else who deserves credit for it..

Paddington Bear's the best, my opinion...

thats the one second from the right

Right now,
ive got this pain in my chest, right at the centre

NO, i mean literally
its been hurting for a while... and hasnt gong away
Oh, it makes a clicking sound when i stretch too
but it hurts everytime i take a deep breath or when my heart beats fast...
anyone has a clue what it might be?
Maybe its the coffee...




I went for watch watchmen with Mun Yee last friday...
Despite her not being 18 yet...
Im not a good influence, am I?



Review?

Great!:
I think is has a great plot... wun wana spoil it for ya...
Cool Characters... RORSCHACH rocks!!
Great Audio? loved the songs...
Crazy effect... naturally

Hate!:
Alot of information condensed into th 2hour 45 minute film... HEADACHE!!
Draggy... (dare i say boring?)
A little too... hm.. Graphic?

But definitely worh the money... SATISFIED.
(it may seem like it competing hard with Dark Knight at times too.. but thats for you to decide)

Right now,
Im on holiday, and i want a good one...
its one week earlier than the rest...
no interuptions no disturbances

Where it all began...

Malacca..
Malaysian Studies trip..

It was alriggght laa.. i mean..
despite the ANNOYING TOUR GUIDE
despite the SCORCHING HEAT
despite the CROWDED SPOTS and NOISY MOMENTS

there were a great many things to see... and learn from...
Altough my mom was Malaccan, i never been there much..
So it was kinda awesome learning what might be from my geanology..

i saw these 3 photographers sticking their lenses thru a hole in a door..

so i did the same and this is what i got..

Its either a "Wow" or "Waat..." effect..

its a wow enough for me..

Shaun..

Facinated by the holes..

Nyonya furniture..

Time...

ever constant, ever changing...

Religion and Tradition

1st Protestant Church in Malaysia behind a decorated trishaw

lovely lighting..

but very unbalanced :(

A fountain "in memory of a Great Queen"..

How would YOU want to be remembered?

life, death, and decay...

a couple of kerises

i dont know who that is coz i didnt go see who.. ahha..

Coins.. um, yeah..

two i-duno-whos posing under THE supposed Amalaka tree.. paramesrawara's tree..

dun ask me how they knew.. tour guide oso duno..

and i was jk, its leela and suetteng.. haha..

Japanese tourists being led by an Indian guide..

St Paul's Church

Jane Charlotte.. sounds hot..

Beach in the Portuguese settlement..

The Formosa gates..

Suet Teng and Kai Lai

In shades of White... literally..

Kai lai.. nuf said..

The Cheng Hong Teng temple..

The Hunt For Gollum

hey,
found this trailer..

If your LOTR-clueless, its just before the FOTR began but after The Hobbit.
Its how Aragorn,

"the Heir of Isildur; the “greatest huntsman and traveller in Middle Earth” (1,2... 3! *roll eyes..) as he sets out to find the creature Gollum. The creature must be found to discover the truth about the Ring, and to protect the future Ringbearer." (bookcentral.com)


Id say its a little wierd that the characters look so much alike, but unlike the big screen ones..
And 1:31 is the cliche-est..
But a good attempt for fans..

Aragorn looks abit Judas Iscariot-ish to me, or like beggars or thiefs..
which tends to come across as unprofessional (for rangers..)

But hey, its just a home movie.. (and its LOTR!)

Releasing 3rd May.

A Lil Reminder That...

.. God loves even the least of these..

No, i dont intend to insult..
Rangers had a council fire and sam and i planned it.. it went well..
we dressed up and decorated.. with welcome gifts and torches and props and all..

and i told my story.. of red sloppity lips and long green fingers.. yeah..

im reminded that youre not suppose to smile just because youre serving.. its the serving that makes you smile..

no pics

.. I didnt get here by my own strength..

..neither am i gona run solely on it.

Council of Achievement..
got my GMA, finally......

yes, im trying my bestest best not to brag here..
But i sincerely thank God for this.. for sending the people he sent, for saying the words he did, when i needed it..

im nothing but for the work of God in my life.. work(-still)-in-progress..

.. Gods still always here, you just need to look close enough..

you need to need him bad enough..

This Is Now

youth camp this year was in a nutshell.. refreshing..
not up to par as compared to previous years, bluntly.. but certainly much needed..
i dont mean to complaint.. committee did brilliantly.. and exhaustively too..

did you see a new generation rising? it is hope rekindled..

oh and i got to be first aid..
wohoo..

personally.. theres only one thing i needed most at this time..
and thats direction.. and i found it, God, vaguely.. but its there..

its just college, i guess.. it rips you apart..
Like two sides of a cut, pulled apart instead of pressured to stop the blood..

.. God works in funny ways..

Daniel Angs farewell.
seein all those alpha kids (i know i shouldnt be calling you that, young adults..) watching the movie together, being noisy and messy and wacky and all that..

which makes you think of how their gona be as leaders..
which makes you think of how that noisiness and wackyness.. pause, i think the right word is MTB-ism.. can be used to 'impact our generation'
which spins that doubt all the way around into excitement to what God's promises hold..

the noisy bald guy is finally gone..
lol.. just kidding..

.. the Greeks miss out one more kind of love..

for mountains..
well, theres phileo, storge, eros and agape.. for parents, friends, lovers, and love unconditional respectively.. but none for things or arts..

but i guess its under agape.. unconditional of WHAT you love.. lol.. dont listen to me..

Spent Christmas in Cameron Highlands.. and climbed Gunung Brinchang with my cousins.. and caroling.. and we ate and ate and ate.. haha.. i need to lose weight now.. new years resolution.. definitely..

met new people too.. like um.. Kum Loong, and Reitter and Steffi, and Chris Cooper, and Brian and Ryan, i reckon i got half the names wrong..

and bumped into old faces.. haha.. stereostatic wayne, and joyce and jacqueline whom i nvr knew were cousins.. fancy that..

.. i have a blog, and it needs updating..

and will be updated.. soon..

oh yeah.. got my results back...

and i wana thank God for it.. (which is kinda ironic coz its all the way down here..)

i passed all my subjects.. haha.. Whoo..

well.. its 2a's and a.. yeah, pass..

(no prize for guessin which subject..)

amen!!
