hahahah,
the atmosphere even at the mamak was awesome!!

but its still to early to say anything about winning the premiership...
but hey, GREAT game for MU!!
wohooo!!

anyways, this year's b'day was soo much fun!
hahah, 4 cakes at different times! thanks guys!

yeah, last friday, cell group celebrated for me too! hehehe...they were planning on a suprise also..but hahah, didnt work, coz...it didnt work!
hahah
but thanks guys! you make me go..."awwwwww"

saturday at FREO's was my last for this year before i head baack home to kk this weekend.
still enjoyed the work, met a mum with 10 month old son, hahah..so cute the boy!
was chatting with her and apparently both of us felt very comfortable talking to each other.was sitting there for like 10 minutes just chatting with her bout her experience of motherhood, (you can tell that it was her first child).
enewei, yeah, she was really open bout her thoughts, and was sharing with me how different it was to acctually "gone" through the whole experience, that "everything now FOCUSES and EVOLVES around him (the baby) now!"

and i sensed that sincerity in her, wasnt easy, never was, but it was all worth it.
she shared it not with a spirit of tireness but with a spirit of pride!
and it reminded me of how much "pride" and honor we mean to our parents!
how much effort and time and effort, the sacrifices, the love for us!
*its just amazing!*
thank you Lord, for loving us so much more than that!

And ya knw, going through my 21st b'day, i just wanna pay tribute to my mum!
its not about how much i've achieved at 21 years old, but really a reminder and beautiful occasion of celebrating one woman's unconditional LOVE for her son over the last 21 years!
thank you mum!
I love ya! you make me proud!
and i pray that the LORD continue to bless you, and be the FOCUS of ur life! May He grant you wisdom and peace at all times, may you continue to seek Him just as you have thought me to!
I thank God for you, I thank God for placing you in my life, for being there for me, when i needed you the most, and also for being there even when i didnt wanted you around!
Love ya mum!

and of course! all Glory and Praise to my Lord Jesus CHrist!
whoohooo! YOU ROCK!

heheh..thank Joni and Martin for ur present!
yeah, they were so sweet, came all the way to one Utama to gimme my present!
thanks guys!

was spending some time talking to Joni when we were waiting for Martin, going through his practices, yeah, realised we havnt been talking much ever since i got here.
was talking bout how this time when we get back to kk, what roles do we play.
was just sharing that the spirit of complacency is pretty obvious back in home church, and was thinkin of how we can be used by GOD to highlite that.
and about kk inter youth ministries relationships...bout unity and stuff.
about youth ministry, bout how the turnover of youth is so much greater back in sabah, and the fact that if we dunt use that 5 years wisely, we literally LOOSE a whole generation of ppl!
sumthing to think about?

didnt get to go to church on sunday, coz u.Vincent needed to head to the airport, and they needed the rest, coz the cuz was having a wedding the night before!
so since i was told that morning itself...haih...terpaksa lerr.

instead of getting back to NIlai so early, decided to give some 'pals' a call, ppl like BJ, Carole , even tsoon ting..shait! all turned me down!
apalarrr!! oh yeah, Jeevaah is seeing someone!!!
yup, some pakistanese gurl~ oooh
hehehe....should meet up someday!

enewei, ended up in m.valley, walked around, and watched "Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow" , errm...nothing to shout about.
wanted to watch "Ladder49", but decided to go watch with Belinda back home~ so since if i was gonna pay rm10 for a movie, might as well watch something worth...e.g special effects!
heheh...the movie? ....a 5.5 outta 10
good movie to KILL time!

was in MPH bookstore, saw this small kid, say around dan dan's age, erm...4, was walking with the mummy, mummy one hand holding a basket, another the son's hand.
then when they passed a tray,
the son, stopped, reached out his other hand, said loudly "amma" , grabbed a Barney VCD, and placed it into the basket, and continued walking...leaving the mum standing there, looking dumbfound at the vcd the son just handed her!
"HAHA" i laughed, didnt realised how loud i was until i realised there were eyes on me!
but that was a lovely moment, it was just there, there were at least 20 person on that scene, but no one noticed!
warm,cute and lovely....~

God Bless ppl!

a week gone~

Didnt get outta college this week.
The whole week of hols has been really greusome!!
assignments everyday, and we finally got everything settled and done just an our ago. (the due date is tomlo)
the group was reall sumthing. really happy with it. not to say that we really did an excellent job *we did by the way* , but the effort everybody put in was just amazing.
the desire of the grp not to jsut get an answer right away, but to analyze everything from every aspect, and just being patient, making sure, double checking, was just nice!
everyone was really into it!
hahah, nicest group of ppl to work with.

enewei, didnt get down to PJ this weekend. was so busy that i've even forgotten to tell adele that i wasnt gpoing down!
sorry again ya!

great news, great news!!
remember the orientation nite i was doing last week?
after the show, everyone in teh organizing commitee had a debrief, they got everybody settled down, right in front of everybody, stanley, one of the advisors said words of appreciation.

"there's a very important person here tonight, without him, this whole night would not have been this successful, over my years of advising social board orientation night, the best mc, Bernard Hiew!!!"
...and he went on....everybody cheered clapped....shouts....
gotta be frank with all of ya, was really happy, felt really appreciated!
he went on braging, and bragging, till a point i was a bit uncomfortable.

but the time when my turn to speak came,
" hahah, i wanna thank all of you for giving me the chance and oppurtunity to learn...." i said,

then i said,
" But i wanna give all glory and praises to my Lord Jesus Christ, because its in him i find myself, its not about me or what i can do, but its all about what HE can do."

now that felt so much BETTER than the first one.
i wouldnt be the person i am today, if it wasnt because of HIM, not because of his love and mercy and grace towards me!
i fell, He picked me up. i cried, He was there.
when i was happy or sad, He was always there!
and i am proud of Him, proud of following HIM.
Because its not about what i can do, but about what an extraordinary God can do through an ordinary fella like me!

ALL GLORY TO HIM!

oh, another great news,
few days after the show, one of the organizing person of orientation night came up to me, telling me , one of the sponsor wants my number, and was wonadering if i could MC for one of thier charity event in November!!
hahaha, Praise God!
gave them my no, and told them that i would be in kk then.hahah...the balls on thier court.
if they really would need me, flying me can also mahh...hahah
but yeah, we'll see, coz, being home is definitely my first priority!

really thank God for oppurtunities and favors!
really blessed!
jsut like last semester with MAPCU, battle of the bands...and so many more!
thank you Lord!


hahah, yeah! ENGLAND won 2-0 o wales!
Lampard and Beckham!
whow! the beckham goal was excellent, he tried and he tried over and over again, finally on the third time, on left edge of the penelty box, a curling, cross shot towards the right hand corner!
