Anyways,during this activity, each team was given a packed-up-in-plastic-bags-frozen-T-shirts for the team to defrost as quick as possible and get the shirt out. The team had to put the shirt on one member *or the team leader*.
Everyone had to find means to crack the ice without using the pavements. Many took the empty teapots left from the tea fellowship to collect water, some took bricks that were lying around, my team even took a garbage bin to melt the ice!!
But I saw Uncle Kok Leong wearing the shirt , with holes due to the pulling of the members. His team won, just so you know.
Oh yeah, and all the activities started late. So the time may not be accurate.
4.00-5.30pm Activity: Photo-Hunt (Pari and youth)

5.30-6.30pm Rest and clean up
6.30-7.30 pm Dinner
>Oh yeah, Uncle David Kek will blow the whistle to kinda like round everyone up for the activity. He says its like a "sorry, excuse me" way of getting everyone's attention.

3.00-3.30pm Tea break (some hard fried thing, kuih and coffee and tea)
3.30-5.30pm Mini Olympics (at the beach)
>P.S. This will be very long, but I guess I'll type it out anyway as a way to relieve my exam stress XD

1) Teams select 5 members for this game. When the whistle is blown, three balloons will be blown by the members of the team. Once done, one member walks/hops/whatever way to the opposite site with a balloon under each arm and a balloon between the legs. Aunty Soh Cheng joined this activity as well, what team spirit!!

2)Teams select 5 members for this game(can interchange with other members who didn't take part in the first one). All members have to lie/kneel with the head to the ground. The last one gets up and jumps over the other members, and lie/kneel again after jumping over the last crouching member. It continues until the team have reached the other side. The leader have to run to Adrian at the starting side to report the team as 1st/2nd...

3)Teams select 3 members for this game. (Again, can interchange with other members who didn't take part in the first one/second one). According to teams, each member throws a balloon filled with sand balls as far as they can. Benjamin Sim threw the farthest.

4)Teams select 5 members for this game. (Again, can interchange with other members who didn't take part in the first one/second one/third one). All the members line up in one line. All the right legs of all the members were tied up. The same goes for the left legs. (Kinda like a caterpillar). My team couldn't go on as my legs were tied up. Oh well. Then, teams were to walk to the opposite side and back.

5)Teams select 5 members for this game. (Again, can interchange with other members who didn't take part in the first one/second one/third one/fifth one) Each member had to run to the other side, pick up the stick on the floor and with the head on the top of the stick, spin the stick around for five times(I guess they were trying to make players dizzy) and run back.

The results were known later.

5.30-6.30pm Rest and Clean up.
>since this was after the mini olympics, many(mostly youth) stayed at the beach to play.

6.30-7.30pm Dinner (Toufu, rice, honeydew,green vege, sweet sour fish, chicken with chili, and I can't remember what else)

8.00-8.15pm Warm-up and get ready
>Teams used this time to practice the performance I mentioned earlier

8.15-10.15pm Evening Program
>The results of
>It was the Cornerstone's Got Talent. Uncle Polly sang a couple of songs to hype us up. Then it came to performance time.
>my group sang "I Love You" song from Barney and "We are Family"-edited and cut short.
>Uncle Chow's group was hilarious. It started with 5 people- the liar, backstabber, gao-si guan(s*** stirrer) and another 2 more I can't remember. Then Barry (the cupid) shoot his arrow at each one of them - Daniel took the arrow and "stabbed" it at each of those mentioned and stick a heart while Nicholas tore the paper which wrote their characteristics.
>Uncle Kok Leong's group had a guy named Reuben(I think it was their group's name as well), and his whole family went hiking. Uncle Kok Leong, the so called long enemy, came and placed a bomb on Reuben. The family members each begged the enemy - Uncle James, the father, aunty Fay Khim, the mother in law, Uncle Gary, the father and I can't remember who else- but failed to save Reuben. Soon the bomb was up. But it did not blast.
>Uncle David Thein's group was hilarious. Uncle David Kek was reading the bible while the drums were played, and aunty Janet and a few others were singing "One Voice"-the camp's theme song. Uncle David Thein started to rap. It was messy and LOL.
>Jia Ying group was hilarious too. Jia Ying acted as the emo girl and an angel came and lifted her spirit. Uncle Terry was a stressed out man. Two angels came and lift his spirits up. We "flew" away. And more, but I can't remember.
>Edward's group was funny. Pastor Soong's wife and Uncle Alan Mok were "husband and wife". One day, Uncle Alan said he wanted Bak Kut Teh for breakfast. His "wife" said no. Its so funny, but SORRY!! I have to finish up in a minute or two...

Something to 'revive' the 'dead'

2010-03-26T22:27:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!! Considering the last post was like... 2 months ago.... I thought I'll share a bit on what's happening.....

1) Gathering!!
- Last Saturday we(the youth plus all the aunties and uncles-advisors) had a gathering at Adam's house. The dinner was simply scrumptious considering it was a pot-luck and the yummy non-alcoholic drink that was practically finished after the party. The reason for this gathering was to reinstate the cell groups. (The youth cell groups had stopped for some time). Now, instead of just one group, we have 2 - Those in college and those still in Secondary schools. This week was the first meeting for both.

2)Bryan just came back from NS
-According to Pastor Soong, he lost 11kg!! IMO, something most of us will never have lost within 3 months.

3) The college near the church
-Taylors is going to up and running soon, and I believe we need prayers for our church to be spiritually strong and welcome these youths.

Okay, I guess that's all I remember (I have short term memory loss =X)... Enjoy your weekend!!

God bless,
Brenda

VBS Truth Trackers

2009-11-30T07:20:00.000-08:00

Hey! I was just wondering why no one posted any pics on VBS. Only then i realised that I was having them. We had a blast during the 4 days. It was fun! But... Exhaustion, back aches, sweat, shouting everywhere. You name it. It was not easy. But God has blessed us soooo much and helped us to make this VBS a success. Praise the Lord! So, here are some pics of what happened.

Every morning, the kids will read the pledges - Malaysian flag, Christian flag and the Bible

Adam is our worship leader, accompanied by our singers/dancers

There is Adam, bribing the kids with candies/ice-breaking.

Oh when the saints go marching in...

The kids dance and sing along. WOW, you should have seen them. So cute, seriously!

The youth with the 2 adorable little girls =)

Aunty Pat's class - Trackers (10-13)

Our principal dozing off... while Brenda is working hard behind the computer

Refreshments outside the classrooms

Everyone's favourite time - LUNCH!!!

The kids lining up for games. It was not easy to handle. At all. I saw Brenda yelling her head off.

Treasure Hunt. We dug the trees, yeah we really dug the trees! for the kids to find some chunk of handmade plaster of paris.... and then proceed to smash them open (heart breaks~) to look for the 10 commandments.

Game involving water = messy + fun

Art and Craft time!

Artsy Fartsy Stuffs.... All of the masterpieces (Both kids and adults) all there.

I'll be posting more tmr. Right now, I gtg sleep. Mum's bugging.

Marissa =)

Just thought of sharing some vids...

2009-11-04T23:42:00.000-08:00

Hey, the blog seems dead for... 2weeks?? so I thought I'd just come in and share some stuff with whoever is reading this...

~I'm all hyped up for VBS!!! Well, technically its because my exams are over, anyways.... back to the topic...~

Well, I've found a few songs which are quite meaningful, and they do have a good vid too, so I thought, why not share with others?? And the next thing I thought of was this blog... anyway, enjoy!!!

Jonny Diaz - More Beautiful You
The video (or rather the song) tells about girls trying to be who they're not by always thinking they were too fat etc. and always tries to get attention. However,the song tells us that God loves us just the way we are - beautifully and wonderfully made...(now that I think of it, isn't that the theme of this blog??)

Next, my favourite song at the moment, The Lost Get Found by Britt Nicole
Well, the lyrics says all... I found this vid to be, well, very very meaningful, as it kinda relates not only to me, but actually to a lot of people around me...

By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North
It felt like it was what God really is doing right now, by our side.

I Will Rise - Chris Tomlin
I especially love this verse :
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

Believe - Mainstay
I love this line :"Even in my darkest hour, I will believe" cause I think that most of us, we forget God in our "darkest" hour, and sometimes, we just need something or someone to remind us that God is there to help, if we just - believe.

Well, that's about it, folks!! I gotta do some preparation + planning for VBS, so, you get the picture...

Things we could pray for VBS:
1) Safety
Safety for both staff and kids before, during and after VBS.

2) Preparation
Pray for everything to go by smoothly, and for God's purpose be fulfilled.

3) Lots of participants!!
Like the saying goes :" The more the merrier" right?? so lets pray for lots of kids to come and join us this year!!

4) Help
There's still lots of things to be done, example: Deco which will be done this Saturday, and we'll need as much help as we can to get it all done!!

5) VBS itself!!
Pray for the teachers, so that they will be able to get the message of God to them (considering as they are kids, the teachers may end up spending most of the time trying to get them to keep quiet, like in Sunday School). And also pray for the kids, so that they will be able to grasp God's word by the end of VBS.

Well, I guess that's all... If I were to go on, there would be so many things to pray for, but I believe that all we can do is pray, and leave the rest in God's hands. Holidays are on the way for primary and secondary students, enjoy the holidays people!! And let us all get hyped up to spread God's word!!!

Signing off - Brenda XD

God is in control...

2009-10-16T18:55:00.000-07:00

this is from an email i got...thought of sharing it. lol..

A man from Norfolk , VA called a local radio station to share this on Sept 11th, 2003, TWO YEARS AFTER THE TRAGEDIES OF 9/11/2001.His name was Robert Matthews. These are his words:

A few weeks before Sept. 11th, my wife and I found out we were going to have our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit her sister. On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife a safe trip and be with her. Shortly after I said 'amen,' we both heard a loud pop and the car shook violently. We had blown out a tire. I replaced the tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed her flight. both very upset, we drove home.

I received a call from my father who was retired NYFD. He asked what my wife's flight number was, but I explained that we missed the flight.My father informed me that her flight was the one that crashed into the southern tower. I was too shocked to speak. My father also had more news for me; he was going to help.

'This is not something I can't just sit by for; I have to do something.'I was concerned for his safety, of course, but more because he had never given his life to Christ. After a brief debate, I knew his mind was made up. Before he got off of the phone, he said, 'take good care of my grandchild. Those were the last words I ever heard my father say; he died while helping in the rescue effort.

My joy that my prayer of safety for my wife had been answered quickly became anger. I was angry at God, at my father, and at myself. I had gone for nearly two years blaming God for taking my father away. My son would never know his grandfather, my father had never accepted Christ, and I never got to say good-bye.

Then something happened.

About two months ago, I was sitting at home with my wife and my son, when there was a knock on the door. I looked at my wife, but I could tell she wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door to a couple with a small child.

The man looked at me and asked if my father's name was Jake Matthews. I told him it was. He quickly grabbed my hand and said, 'I never got the chance to meet your father, but it is an honor to meet his son.'He explained to me that his wife had worked in the World Trade Center and had been caught inside after the attack. She was pregnant and had been caught under debris.

He then explained that my father had been the one to find his wife and free her. My eyes welled up with tears as I thought of my father giving his life for people like this.. He then said, 'there is something else you need to know.'

His wife then told me that as my father worked to free her, she talked to him and led him to Christ. I began sobbing at the news.Now I know that when I get to Heaven, my father will be standing beside Jesus to welcome me, and that this family would be able to thank him themselves .When their baby boy was born, they named him Jacob Matthew, in honor of the man who gave his life so that a mother and baby could live.

This story should help us to realize this: God is always in control. We may not see the reason behind things, and we may never know this side of heaven, but God is ALWAYS in control. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures Forever.
Psalm 136:1

ice cream!

2009-09-09T07:16:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!

Hmm remember quite some time ago we learnt how to make ice cream from our very own Adam Khoo?!? wells....i just got the pics of it! yay. hehe. =D

okie i cant really remember how to make it....but i think i got the gist of it.

so...

1) get a bowl, half-fill it with milk
2) add sugar! loads of it if u want it sweet!
3) add flavouring/essence...eg. vanilla or lemon essence
4) stir stir stir..
5) pour it into a ziplock bag (bag that closes with a zip?) and remove all the air from it, zip it.
6) take a plastic bag and fill it with ice...loads of it!
7) bury your milk filled ziplock bag into the ice and add LOADS of salt. like 10 tablespoons of it. (i think)

*make sure your ziplock bag isnt leaky and is closed up properly or u'll get salty ice cream..eww. XD

8) wrap it up in newspaper and shake shake shake!
9) open it up and voila! ice cream!!

yummy!

enjoy the pics! =)

thx brenda for the pics!

God bless! =)

Burnt Toast...

2009-09-07T20:50:00.000-07:00

A story by a girl.

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for
dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when
she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.

On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage,
and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to
see if anyone noticed!

Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask
me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that
night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that
toast and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom
apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And
I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if
He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real
tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know,
life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the
best housekeeper or cook.'

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each
other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences -
is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and
lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the
good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the
feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to
give you a relationship where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!

We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding
is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child
or friendship!! "

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket but
into your own."

See through God's eyes and feel through God's heart
And you will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.

God bless you all richly

Have a wonderful day !

hmm...got this is an email and thought i should share it with u guys. =)

Thanks P.Tim

2009-07-21T19:29:00.000-07:00

It was P.Tim's final sermon last Sunday. Yeah for those who didn't know * Lol, if you didn't *, P.Tim is leaving CBC to do a ministry that he feels God called him to...and so he's leaving.
I don't know about you guys but i feel that it's a great loss for us to lose a spiritual leader like him.
The person who fueled the church with his passion and fire for God.
I'm really thankful that God sent him to minister to us, even if it was not very long.

Why am i talking like he's dead.....

GAMBATE PASTOR TIM !! You go man...spread His Word to the end of the earth .!! woot

P.Tim if you're reading this...On behalf of our youth, we want to thank you very much for ministering to us. We wish you all the best in your new ministry and may God be with you always.

In Him,
Adam

hi everyone!

Well teenstreet was amazing wasn't it! It's just really great meeting a bunch of new friends and at the same time spending time with God through His Word, prayer and worship. The worship was awesome! Oh and we even made a difference in someone's life...eventhough it may be just in a small way. Seeing the happy smiles on the kids faces when we gave them the presents...wow..hehe!

Really glad I joined teenstreet. It made me realise that I really taken a lot of stuff for granted. Not only material things but also stuffs like prayer and obedience la...yea..

Okie so since we are talking about prayer now, a few of us are sitting for exams soon (the horror) ^^ so lets pray for them k?

smk usj 4 (15 may) - marissa, chia mei, jia ying

God bless,
su ann

Teenstreet 9 to 9

2009-05-09T08:45:00.000-07:00

Praise the Lord! Teenstreet 9to9 was a blast!

It's my first teenstreet ever today. Wanted to go for it years back but jus didn't get a chance due to exams. Thank God for bringing me to Teenstreet today. Unfortunately, was too old to be a participant, way over the age limit..LOL but yeah, its jus great that I could help out as a coach.

Didn't really know who signed up for it though before I went. Great to see CBC youths there among the many youths from various churches.=D The activities todays were great and truly the presence of God was there.

I just wentBack to the activities, well the part that really spoke to me was during Teens in Mission(TiM). Basically, the team members were asked to wrapped a gift for the children in PJS7 community. Never in my mind would I imagined myself knocking the doors of unknown people to present a gift to them. My heart felt great joy seeing the smiles of the children and family. It was just beautiful thing to show love to the community. This feeling of joy is something that I've never experience in my working life (yet).

Next was prayer journey. It really was a great time of reflection, about God's love, about our personal relationship with Him and reflection upon how we are to change to be obey His commands.on what we can do as Christians to help those in needs. It spoke to many of us in the group. Constantly we're only looking about our inadequacy and complain about what we're provided (computer not fast enough la ...etc). Never did we realise that people not so far from us is in poverty...imagine, few ringgit a day? How did they survive? Probably its not enough to buy a meal here in Malaysia, but they are surviving on that amount of money for a day.... I guess we really need to thank God for where we are now, thank God that we're in Malaysia not starving in Africa. Thank God that we have a freedom to choose to choose our religion and believe in Christ and not being controlled by the preset laws of the country.

Praise God for the OM team Malaysia for this wonderful event that they've organized. Oh. 1 more thing, worship was Awesome! Teenstreet band was great. Was first time ever that I see so many youths jumping around in CBC!! A truly new experience in church. =)

Looking forward to the next Teenstreet! Hopefully will see you there!

God bless,
Stella

hmm...

this blog should really be updated...hehe!

ok anyways i read an email today that really got me thinking. Its from some guy named James Lau (anyone know who this is...cause i don't..i have no idea how he got my email wei...)

Okie so...the title of it was 'do small things with great love' and i totally agree with it. In my opinion rite...you don't have to do really really big things to show great love to God and others. Even a small little thing can brighten someone's day. For example, a smile, a handshake, a word of encouragement...stuff like that.

Someone once told me that every morning she looks forward to see this friend of hers, to hear her bright cheery 'hi!' and see that happy smile on her face. Even when she comes to school all gloomy, meeting this friend really cheers her up!

So you see...just being friendly and happy can make a difference...you don't even have to donate a billion bucks to an orphanage or something...(but if you could then it'll be great!) hehe...

There are really a lot of unhappy people about...in school, tuition, college, work. So why not show some of God's love in a small way? Noticed a girl sitting by herself, looking lonely? Go and say hi! Ask how is she doing...instead of hanging out with your normal bunch of friends, sit beside someone that you don't normally talk to in class. Sometimes what a person really needs is someone to hear them out, you know?

when you do little things for others, you do big things for Jesus! (daily bread)

ok...this is really amateur-ish la..but its my first time doing it. so...yea.. =)

happy labour day!

God bless and take care!

Teen Street 9 to 9 !

2009-04-16T06:58:00.001-07:00

That right, OM(Operation Mobilization) is organizing Teen Street 9 to 9 in our church !

Where: Cbc

When: May 9 2009

What time: 9 am to 9pm *duh*

I strongly encourage you to attend this event. It will definitely strengthen you in your walk with God and provide a life changing experience.

*Refer to the pamphlet attached for further details*

For those who don't know what TeenStreet is about...

TeenStreet's purpose is to work with the church to motivate and equip Christian teens in their friendship with Jesus Christ, so they will reflect Him daily in their world.

TeenStreet Malaysia kicked off in 2005 with the theme: Wild Kingdom. In 2006 was followed by the theme Metamorphosis. 2007 and 2008 had Contagious and In Gear themes respectively.

TeenStreet combines large worship gatherings and main meetings with small group Bible studies, interactions and personal support for each teen so no one gets lost in the crowd. TeenStreet is committed to working alongside the Malaysian church to impact Christian teenagers by building relationships and together with the church to empower them to serve.

For further information email Pari Bala at pari.bala@my.om.org or me (Adam) at purpleberryboy@hotmail.com

Do come and also bring your friends along.

God Bless
