Search Incomplete...

Hey world,

Sunday. Church in Kansas City is powerful. Oh i mean the church that i was attending with the family friend. It is called IHOP (International House of Prayer). It is a pretty neat church. The most basic function of this church is to pray 24/7. And they really do it.

More details is at ihop.org

Alright. The service was good. They sing their own songs, have pledge, powerful sermon about missions. Oh man. Really good.

After church, rest awhile in the house. Later in the day. Me and my family friend is going down town to see the set-up of a conference that is going to impact many peoples lives.

Here is some pictures...

Coming into the city. Part of the city is new because they are trying to recreated a Hispanic city style.

This is taken from the hotel room which me and my family friend would staying for 4 days to attend the conference. The conference place is on the right side of the picture.
It's huge.

This is inside the place. Look at the amount of sits. This place can sit about 20-30 thousand but they didn't use the whole place.

From the front to back. Behind the blue chairs is the their mobile bookstore. (i say their as in IHOP people).

That is the stage. It's still being set up for tomorrow event. The metal bar and the white buckets in front of me is the ushers station.

That is the stage. Well is actually no bigger but is not complete. The conference is called onething.

This conference is done every end of the year. The last four days in December.

the four black box in front is sub woofers. It's huge.

I wish i was doing the PA. Look at the amount of cables. This is the back of the stage.

This boxes are yet to be set up. I guess is lighting or sound or video production.

More boxes.

This is the control station for the lights. I want this in CBC.

Beside the lighting station on the left is the sound station. Oh love. The mixer is i think is 48 control.

A bit closer. They actually add more to the mixer by using computer mixer. Like they use a macbook to have digital mixing.

I wasn't allow to go to close to it. You know la every PA people are paranoid with their equipment.

This is the speaker station. Where they control the subwoofers and speaks. Making sure they come out good quality sound.

A closer look.

There is two sound and light station. The one i took picture was looking at the stage. There is another one next to the stage and is almost the same thing. These two stations control different things on and off the stage.

Anyway, there is more stuff. They have a media production crew too. This conference look be on tv, on the internet at God TV and webstream at ihop.org.

This conference has been running for long time. i think it started 6-8 years ago. And every year is free. You can watch it over the internet or come to the conference. This conference will always be on the last four days in December.

onething conference invite many missionaries to this event.

Anyway, i'll will see this conference in it's fullness tomorrow. It will be great. So till then nighty night.

Love,

Redo, ctrl+z

Hi,

Christmas day is over. I like the presents that i receive. It just reminds me of the many blessings that God gives his people.

Anyway, i got nothing much to post today. What i did mostly today was spent time packing and getting ready to go to another family friend's place. And i'm already at my family friend's place. His place is huge and i had to do some work because he just move-in to his new home. To make things worse that is snowing heavily. Almost blizzard like.

Christmas here is great but not the same as having Christmas in Malaysia. Oh how i miss people back home. You guys are dearly miss for sure.

Sorry i didn't take much pictures during Christmas. I was just simply caught up with the snow and having fun till i forgot to take pictures.

Besides i got one or two pictures to show.

This shows how bad the snow was...the streets are cleared but before it was covered with snow.

The snow was bad that i reach till almost my knees.

It was the same nearly everywhere in US.

Alright, i want to get my rest as tomorrow is Sunday and i want to receive God. So till then nighty night.

Undo,

Christmas Day.

Hey hey,

Happy Merry Christmas to my fellow readers. Happy belated Merry Christmas to Malaysia.

It was interesting for me. Christmas here is big thing. The family i'm staying with are American people. I had to wake up early in the morning to open presents with them.

Well the mom of the family ask us "kids" what time do we want to open presents. So we all suggested 9am.
Me and the family open presents together. Starting from the youngest, me, to the oldest. They got me presents which i was so dearly surprise. The presents they got me was lovely. It was winter wear. I know God would answer his people. Thank you God.

Later we had a family dinner with the grandparents. Oh the dinner was super great. After dinner, we watch a movie together, Angels and Demons. The show was alright.

After the show, i watch some basketball with the guys. Oh is totally awesome to watch a game in high definition. You can just see everything clearly. You can even read the tattoos on the shoulders. Even better the sweat flowing from their head. Is crazy. Love HD.

Oh i went to see dear. There are so many dears in this neighborhood. The family that i'm staying, their place used to be like farm place. So animals just come by here and there. So they took me out for a drive to see dear. And the dears are huge but afraid.

Anyway, i got to sleep. Really tired. Another time till then nighty night.

Eve Before the Day of the Savior is Born

Hello,

Christmas Eve was great.

I woke up very late that i actually wanted to sleep some more. But i though to myself, there is more fun being awake.

12pm. I went down and catch the family watching a recent show shown in cinema. Inglorious Bastards. It was fun to watch it again. (i can predict that Me, Jay and David are most likely going to watch this again together).

Anyway, we have a late lunch at home. Good American food. Which was all sweet stuff.

Later around 5pm. Outside was the snow storm is just beginning. Before snow can come, there must have ice storm. Which is the most dangerous time to go out. The roads are icy and you cannot see the ice on the road. It is called black ice. Which makes the road slippery.

The awesome thing was that the family i'm staying with have good cars. We head out to church for Christmas Eve celebration. The Churches here don't do Christmas day celebration because they want families to spent time together.

Anyway, the church service was simple and fast. I didn't take pictures because i simply forgot my camera. The service was nothing to shout about. They did the basic stuff. Worship. Word. The some presentation about Jesus birth. Then some Christmas songs.

After the service, we came back home to some lovely dinner with another family. We just have all sought of food. Almost buffet style. Then we played some games and just enjoy each other company.

Alright i'm going to bed because i'm just feeling all so tired. Till then nighty night.

Count down,

Beep! I Have Landed.

Hi,

My day started off with a 4 am cell phone alarm clock going off beautifully in the air into my ears to wake me up. It's dark and cold. No choice. But happy. I got myself ready for the day. Put on nice aroma cloths to block the bad odor for not showering in the morning. After get myself ready, i made myself a delicious water breakfast which is just water.

I'm ready to travel. So i had to wake up my friend. He was totally zone out because he had a long day yesterday. But with a little of force from me. He was able to get up and send me to the airport.

I was really happy that i get to travel. I like to continue to stay at my friend's place but i already book my ticket.

I said my goodbyes to my friend. Many hugs. Many tears. In the end, we have to go our separate ways. Checking-in at the airport was fast. I waited for 1 hour before i could get into the plane. Seeing faces. Some happy. Some sad. Some half-sleep. Some in-the-zone. I kept looking at my hands. One with Rubix cube. The other just plain smooth young hand.

My jet finally arrive. People waiting to talk on board. The smooth operator call in the elderly, parents with kids, and disable. There were none. It was fast. The people just want to get into the plane and snooze off to fantasy land till they arrive at the next stop. Atlanta airport.

The beauty of flighting at early in the morning is seeings houses and stores one by one switching the lights on. One up. One down. One left. One right. Seeing them popping on here and there. At the background the powerful, almighty Sun rises slowly on thee earth. Casting away the darkness.

Atlanta Airport. The landing was gentle. People quickly got off their seat. Rushing off their bags on the top and bottom. Quickly their feet stomping away. As it's asking the flight attendant to open the door. People zooming off the plane. Some catching their next plane. Some wanting breakfast. Some looking for their ride home.
The terminal was bursting with people going places. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some are at stand-still. I took my seat down at my where my next flight would be. Not open. Getting ready. People around me. Some checking their email. Some sleeping. Some on the phone. Some arguing. Some praying. Some in-the-blur.

I waited for an hour for my next connecting flight. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. I got my Rubix at one hand. The other my nintendo DS. On my lap, my laptop. Multitasking three things is truly gifted.

Kansas City was an hour away. Their time was different from the east and west. Their time was an hour behind where i was early in Lynchburg, Virginia. This Kansas City was not in Kansas. It's in Missouri. *Americans* if you know what i mean.

I was seated in the plane at an exit door. The flight attendant told me, "you look like guy that can rip off the door anytime, do read the instructions on the card". I said "okay madam." A sexy smile was given to me with appreciation. She was nice to me. She ask me if i needed anything during the flight as she walk up and down doing her duty. I think she was coming on to me but clearly not my type as she was older than me but young. (oh dear, i know what is going to be commented)

Kansas City. I thought that this place would have snow. It turn out. Zero. None. A big sign off disappointed was displayed on my face. Emo. I meet up with my family friends. Close friends with my dad. Which was the first man that started off CBC. The very beginning. The planter. Pastor Hugh Smith. I didn't meet up with the pastor yet but the daughter pick me up with her son.
I drew conclusions that Kansas City people are big size people that could easily crush us, Chinese people, and use us as tooth picks. They all look like some lumberjack people. Tough. Rugged. And my conclusions are right. Scary. Well using us as tooth picks is false though.

The place here is flat. No hills. No mountains. No bumps. Just plain flat and smooth. So flat that i can see for miles. I can just see a person walking or dancing on the street from miles away. Like eagles eyes.

I meet up with Pastor Hugh Smith and wife during dinner. They sure look great even went they are well advance in age. Healthy. Smiley.Wisely. It was a family dinner with plus one. Me. We ate at a place that Malaysia totally have a lot. Buffet dinner. Everything and Anything eatable was there. The food is pretty alright.

Now the time here is 11:37 pm. I'm totally tired. I'll be around. Catch me the next post. Till then nighty night people all over the world reading my blog. Kisses.

Oh Christmas Eve is tomorrow. Well is today for Malaysia. Anyway Happy Christmas Eve Malaysia. =)

Boing,

Dreaming You...

Hey,

My time spent today is totally in bed except the time going to toilet and making food. Well i was watching shows online and seeing my grades and other important things.

Some of my grades got in and they are promising. I got 1 A and 2 B. 3 more still in grading process. I feel good about myself. God has full of promises for His people that He adds in more to that promises. They are blessings.

Next semester i hope that my work load would be lighter. So that i would have more control of my time than always constantly studying. Next semester i want to be stronger, faster, harder and better from my physical, mental, and spiritual. Also i would like more time with God.

I feel that i have neglected the Big Man (God). I know my school is a Christian school with many convocations, church services and life group. All that still can feel a person to be empty or quarter full. Even though i had put in devotion time with Him but is not to my standard. i know God doesn't have standards. He just wants the person to communicate to Him, not force but willing.

So next semester is with full of promises to myself. And i believe i can do it.

Alright, i'm going to take my nap before i flight. Pray that God would continue to hold the weather until i reach Kansas safely. So till then nighty night.

Digital Love,

Undercover Night...

Hey,

Monday. It seems pretty boring. As my friend went out to drop some of his friends off at the bus station. I was left at home alone. Well i thank God, i learn a thing or two on how to cook some food.

I just want to get out of school place. It just reminds me of school stuff. I pray that God would hold back the snow weather until i reach the Kansas and in my family friend's place.

I think i'm going to enjoy my time in Kansas. Eating American food, hopefully play with snow over there and go places in Kansas. I'll be at the city. So i'll be expecting to see a much about America and maybe go shopping. haha.

I'm going to get some rest. Catch me on the next post till then nighty night.

Morning,

Who Touch Me...Your Own Hand (Schizophrenia)

Hello,

Sunday. I think there is a reason why today is called Sunday. Sunday is meant to be sunny. It either have sun the whole day or some parts of the day. But the sun in today is in most powerful state. It shines the bright and most glaring.

And if you look at the sun and pull out your hand. Curve your hand towards the sun as if you are holding it. Then say "The Sun at the palm of my hand." The feeling saying that is just simply powerful. I want to believe we should say that on a Sunday. I think God wants to remind people that they are powerful because they have God in them.

Once you believe in God, you are meant for great things. He created humans to do His great work. Which many people have twisted that believe. Thinking that they are gods. In thinking that we are gods, would created a disaster-est world. Thoughts like evolution, gay-rights, abortion, euthanasia and many other dangerous thinking.

Alright i just want to make a point that we, humans, should give God a chance or more of chance to trust in Him and believe Him. Give His Word as strong as rock. Take His word seriously. That God's Word are His absolute truth. We have left God in the dark for to long. It's time to open up to Him. Let Him into your heart and let Him teach you view from His perspective.

A side from my preachy talk. My Sunday have been great. The snow is melting today because of the most beautiful weather. Church was great too. Me and my friends manage to drive out of the apartment and buy some stuff from walmart like food. The snow around Lynchburg is beautiful and is so smooth. It just make me feel like jumping into the snow.

Anyway i really wish that my flight would not reschedule anymore. I want to be able to flight off on Wednesday early morning. Do pray that my flight would not get cancel and the snow would not snow anymore until i reach Kansas safely in my family friend's home. Okay now, i want to have some snooze time. Really tired. Winter weather can make a person really hungry and tired too. That is why many people gain weight and are more lazy during the winter. I hope that i won't get into that situation.

Alright i got to really sleep till then nighty night.

You,
