In Creation of Viewing Pleasure

Yo,

Realizing that many people are gearing up for Christmas. All are feeling Christmas mode. Some still not in it, some just don't feel. Well, is up to you, in whether what you want to feel. Is a Choice. =) Anyway, today i went to church to help out aunt Uma out with the Christmas decorations. For me, is a first time setting up Christmas decorations. Because my parents didn't really do these kind of things. We only do the Christmas presents but no decorations. Another because my family always get invited by other people, to join their family in dinner or fellowship and so my family mostly eat out, so we have our Christmas dinner outside. Besides of that, yea is my first time doing the Christmas decorations for church. I was still sleepy but excited at the same time doing it. I tell you the church now looks very grand. The theme for this year that aunt Uma set up is the back to old. All solid colors, red, green and gold.

I kinda enjoy putting up this decorations. It gives people good feelings. And to put them in the mode. After that, i went out with Walter for lunch, we couldn't decide where to eat. We think think think. End up going to the market place in ss15. We had our chit chat and laughs. Then we split ways. Cause he had to get something. I had to go home. Oh Walter also came to help aunt Uma. =)

Later in the day, i took my afternoon nap. I didn't had a good nice sleep. Mostly turning and tossing. So i got a good 1 hour power nap. Woke up, help out my mom here and there. Do up my room again. Yea, my mom wants me to do my room again. To change it to be a guest room went I'm gone to the states. So i have to dump all my stuff in that small little room in the master room. ISH!!!. I'm going to miss this room. So much memories. Well is just a year. and I'll be back for Christmas. Cause my mom brought me a 2 way ticket, she say is cheaper than a one way ticket. And I'm going to join frequent flights, so that i get free flights to many places. =)

Went for basketball in the late afternoon. Though that it might rain. But it didn't rain for a good two hours. I had fun. I think my games has in prove in my ways. Want to be better. But i think is the 3 on 3 that made the half court game a bit easy. But i enjoyed myself. =)

Later i went out for dinner with Daniel Chai. Since everyone is not free. So we went to McD. Cause i didn't go to McD nearly the whole month. Man we came in at the right time. The chicken is hot, the frieds are hot and the coke is gassy. hehe, yummy.

So now, I'm waiting for church tomorrow. Hoping and believing that it would be a great Sunday service. From the worship to word. I believe we can impact tomorrow's world by making the choice to do works for God. Be praying. So till then, do come for church, it will be a blast. Till then nighty night.

Hi,

My day today, I think God has plan for me to take a huge breather before diving in again. So i got much rest today. I didn't do much today, just wake up, eat lunch, read some books, check some stuff, rest some more, and play.

Been think a lot today. That when I'm gone, are things going to change or not. The what if and what not if thinking. I'm still confuse with my emotions. Man, I'm going to miss you guys a lot. I'm like having a heartache. Can't let go. But i have to do this cause i believe that God is placing me there for a reason. I'm also excited at the same time, at times i cannot believe that I'm actually leaving for the states.

I must type that God has really plan all this for me. From the waiting to the going. Then once I'm there, waiting to see more God work in my life more =). So do pray for me that my education, my studies and time there will be great and i will do well in my studies. Short post today. So nighty night.

Mind the Thought

Hi,

Today is great. I had a great experience today at the US Embassy. Yeap, i went to get my visa interview done. Is such a experience. Will explain.

I woke up early in the morning, to get myself ready for the day. I didn't have a good night sleep but is alright it kept me awake through out. Shower and eat some cereal. Mom woke up to give me some documents that she forgot to give it to me. I make sure that i have all the information i need for the visa interview. Waited for awhile for my aunt to get ready. (my aunt work in the US Embassy, she is quite high rank, she gets to meet many president and leaders and so on around the world). So by 630am we left Subang. It was quite a smooth drive. Not much traffic on the road to the US Embassy.

My aunt stop at a place for breakfast. Cause we arrive in KL like 650-7am. So i had my breakfast at a market place. It was quite pack with people but the atmosphere was peaceful. Finish then my aunt brought some food for her friends in the Embassy.

Waited outside the US Embassy building. The place is so huge. And the security there is so tight. If you are not a worker in the US Embassy, you are not allow to bring in your hand-phone or any electronics. Even no sharp objects. They did body check, scan your items you brought to the Embassy. If you bring a electronic, it must be given to the security guard for safe keeping. Going in the building, there is another round of security check. Inside the building, they set the temperature just right, either cold or hot. Maybe little higher on the cold side. But it was just nice. Before my interview, i had to take a number and wait. Since i was the first guy there, my number was A001. COOL!!! my interview was suppose to be 740am, i was early. i was in the Embassy like 720am.

In that space of time, 720am to 740am, my stomach was making dinosaur noises and aching. So i know i was time to go to the toilet. Thank God that the business was short and they haven't call my number yet. So about 745am, they call me in. So i have give out my documents, scan my finger prints and then lastly, the interview. Some how i wasn't panicky, i was calm as a peanut. I chit chat with the people who are also doing the interview. And i gave many smiles. Bring a sense of joy to the place. The people who work in the Embassy are so so so so friendly. I had a get time there.

So my interview was quite fast. Like just 20 minutes, it was done. The consul just ask me, how are you, what your purpose there, your results are this and that. We had a long conversation about my high school result. Cause my results isn't fantastic. So i told the consul, I will do my best and study well. And i gave her a smile. Well i believe that is God's work in hand. I think He place some thing in her heart to grant me a visa to the States. Thank You, God so much. She said to me that she will give me a chance and make me promise that i will do well. So i got my visa. YEA!!!!

Later, i had to wait for my mom to pick me, my aunt can't cause she works there. So i waited till 10am. Saw my friend that day too. So we chit chat a little. Till my mom came to get me. Me and mom went to get me a credit card for me. This whole day, God is really blessing it and helping me walk through to so my doors easily. Went to Citibank, they were quite rude to my mom and me. So gave them a look. Then they told my mom that i can only get my credit card in 2 weeks time. I knew it was full of rubbish. This bank, is a international bank. These banks should be able to produce credit cards like what...3 working days or less. So my mom sought of scolded the person. But they are so thick face. They keep on saying 2 weeks. Till my mom say that I'm leaving to the US by the end of the year. Then they say, give us a airline ticket that he is leaving in such such a date, will put your son in the urgent list and should able to get your credit card by before Christmas. Amazing that God can do so many good things for His people.

Late morning, my mom decided that we have brunch at ss14, later go to Uncle Swa place to help me confirm my air ticket. After lunch we went to Uncle Swa place, chit chat, get my air ticket done, fax it to Citibank for proof that leaving end of the year. Then chit chat some more. So you guys must be wondering, when am I leaving for the states? This is confirm already. I'm leaving on the 30th December, departure time is 1145pm. So i have to be at airport by 930 or 10pm. But don't worry. I'll be back at the end of next year. Why? well my mom say that this air ticket is more cheaper then flighting there one way. So i be back next year. Guess you guys won't be missing me much.

I have settle the major things already, now is the minor things. Hopefully can get it done in 2 days time. Came back home, waited for aunt Jolene to come by to get church key from me. Took a nap. Help fix up some thing for my mom. Then in the night went for basketball.

Today basketball, instend of playing a game, we did drills. Mostly free throws. I cannot imagine it that today i miss so many free throws. My percentage really drop a lot. Got to buck up. After the drills, played a little game. Talk with Sze Jiun a bit. Went for supper. Come home shower, now ready to play some "games". So nighty nighty

Time Flighter

Hi,

Busy day alright. Woke up in the morning to rush through all the documents i need for the visa. And yet i didn't know that my day was being plan by my parents. I didn't manage to finish all of my documents cause i had to pick up my father's van at the work shop. I had to rush through one document and later finish the rest.

So i follow my mom down to ss15 to collect the van, waited there for another half-hour. Cause they didn't do a test drive yet. So i wait in the shop with my with my ear-phone connected to my ipod, listening to my music. After that i drove back home, hoping to continue with my visa forms. But my mom ask me to drive the van to Puchong for my father to use later at the same time bring the some old stuff there to be use for church from our house. So i load it up and quickly drive to Puchong.

Over there wasted my time some more. like 2 hours. It was like 3 something pm already. Follow my mom back home in her car. Then my ask me to play squash with Ben(my cousin from Australia) and of course my dad. Thank God that my mom can drop me off at Pyramid, then i walk to Sunway Club. In the end, my cousin couldn't make it cause he was to busy. So i played with my dad. It has been a long time since i played squash. Some how i still know how to stoke/play/ plan my game. So i have to play with other people in the court also besides my dad playing with me.

My dad had to leave early cause he has a meeting in PJ, so he left me, i waited for my mom to pick me up from the club. Later me and mom went to Taipan to eat, came back home. To find out that my dad haven't leave to PJ yet. So i took the van while my dad took the car. Got my stuff together and Anne&Sze Gion stuff together and load it up in my van. Wanted to drop Anne&Sze Gion stuff at Mun Keong house but it was to late. Cause i had to get Jay up and rush to church.

At church, first time i see a huge group of people on stage. Is like nearly half our church up there on stage. Worship this Sunday is going to be less noisy cause there is no drummer. I wasn't on duty also. I end up helping the Aunts in church set up the Christmas tree and do some minor cleaning. Man our church has so much crap that all this stuff shouldn't be in church. Is so flopping messy. On this Saturday there is a clean up session. I know all the young youth are not around. But it doesn't matter cause there are already people volunteer themselves to clean up the church. Wanna help out in this spring cleaning come to church at 9am. =) Sorry young youth, i won't be there to show you some ropes in helping Orang Asli.

Didn't realize that time flights so fast that the practice was over by 1045pm. Man, and me lost track of time went out for supper with Philip and Terk. Talk till 12am. Quickly rush home, saw Sze Jiun on the road( he didn't see me). Went home and do up my visa forms. Make sure i got every thing right. I scare and worry that i won't get it. But i believe in God to bring me through it smoothly tomorrow in the interview. Slept at 1am. Tired and scare. Things are nearly done.

Hoping to leave by the end of the year. Still having mix feelings about it also. Well. till then nighty night. Oh i forgot pray for me that my interview with the consul would be great, that the person would grant me the visa to enter to the States. Amen

Popping hood,

Hidden Biscuit Crumbs...

Hey,

I had a good day today. Played basketball in the morning and wanted to play some more in the night. But it turns out that people cannot make it. Oh well. Training in the morning has become so much fun. There are nobody on the court except me and makes my training a lot easier. As i also heard the other side of the field, line dancing group, enjoying themselves with the groove to the music.

After all that, i did my devotion. Thinking to start up my devotion blog. But not so soon. Devotion today was light and easy. It was all smiles and full of joy in me, wanting to come out of me. Came back home to find my little nephew waiting for me at the front door. But i cannot touch him cause I'm dirty and smelly after the basketball training. I only heard the word that my nephew only knows is "up". Everywhere he goes, he usually say that. "up, up, up, up". On the way in i try to avoid him from touching me. Well i succeeded. Quickly went up to shower, have my cereal breakfast.

Today is filling up form day. Basically i went to the website and started filling up forms to apply a U.S visa. Hope i get it. Cause i paid so much and i really want to go there already. I have gone so far in this to be deny. So no turning back now. At times i can almost see the door and I'm getting there, is like i can touch a little bit at the doorknob. God, i really want to go there, through You, all things are possible. Amen. So i was busy busy busy busy busy. Calling people, asking people, just to get the information right.

Later in the day, my dad ask me whether want to play squash today a not with my cousin. It been a long time, since i touch a racket. So i opt to go with my dad. But then my dad remember that he has a dinner at 7pm with some one. So he cancel the squash but reschedule the appointment to tomorrow. I don't mind playing that my too. So my visa interview is on Thursday or Friday. Pray for me to say the right works to the consul and grant me access to the America. Pray for me.

Nothing much for today, My 1 terabyte is working great and awesome. I have downloaded all my files from my desktop already. So i don't need to use my desktop to get files already, hehe. Watching shows using my 1 terabyte is simply awesome. hehe. Might want to get another. hehe. Once the price drop and my 1 tb is nearly full. I would buy some more. But once in US, i cannot wait to buy computer parts for my computer. Oh my. Thinking about the amount of Nike i can buy there too. Going high on this. Going to sleep soon. After a few games. So then nighty night.

Lick it up,

Night to Remember...

Hi,

My day is so sound a sleep. i had the best sleep ever. Must be all the energy i put on Friday, Saturday and Sunday effort to make it possible for two people to be together in marriage. And also the carnival to be a prefect event for all people which went quite sour but end up a great success in many ways. So i slept at 1130pm to 2pm the next day. It was great sleep, really went into deep sleep.

Went for lunch by myself, today weather was also good. Not much sun. After lunch, my mom came back home. And ask me to do this and that. So i had work than. Apparently the car that my mom use is shaking at 80km. So is not a good sign. I have to send it to work shop. Knowing my driving, you all. Is crazy right? Well i couldn't take it, driving below 80km, is hard for me. Put the car in the work shop and walk around ss15. Didn't want to go to caber cafe. Cause don't want to waste money. So i went to Jay's house, just to hang out and chill there. On the way there, i met Matthew. He was with someone. In Jay's place, i played Rock band. I'm quite addicted to the game now. Beginning to play medium and some times hard. Really enjoy playing it. Jay at that time was making lunch. So i play the solo. Hmm...saw Jay lunch and it looks like a man's dish. (A man's dish has no vegetables, but has meat cheese and the occasion have egg and not so often bread). Looks yummy though. But i had to go already cause the car was ready.

Walking to ss15, i met so many homeless people. It angers my heart that these people have legs and hands that is functional, and they do not want to work. Is just sad that these people choose to life this way. So i went to the work shop, wait for half-hour there. Went to Taipan to take picture of me for my visa. The shop did the job so fast. Within 15 minutes all done, from taking photo to developing it. This is technology at it's best. Technology is getting faster everyday.

Came home. Wanted to play basketball today. So i quickly put on my gear and i was off to the basketball court. I was really surprise in my shooting, It is getting even better and better. Looking it. Learning to shoot 3 points again after so many years not shooting 3 points when i finished school life. Well I'm gearing up myself to play in college in US, i want to be good player. I'm one of those athlete that will always come to practice on time and stay back late to train some more. I want to good in what i do. will work hard at it.

Went back home early cause i got a dinner with my aunt cause she wants to see me off before i leave to US. Went to the dinner place with my cousin Ben Chia and family. I really enjoy my dinner, had the best duck meat. After that, went to Ikea cause my dad wants to buy a mini laptop, and so other stuff. So we went to Harvey-Norman. Hang around there till my dad made up his mind to buy it together with a new camera. We eat a mini supper at A&W. Yea i know is not coke that i drank. But i have no choice. Eat and went home.

We have to drop of my Aunt cause she didn't drive. As we were about to leave, the van break down. i thought to myself that crap that we have to call AAM. So my parents and my cousin and me pray. And then it was able to work again. But the van was not 100% healthy. Hey man is a 11 year old van, Still powerful but well is time to change. So all the way back to USJ 11, it was running on the batteries. I think my dad and my cousin say that the van dynamo is not charging the batteries or something, which means that the van cannot be stop. Once stop, the van may not be able to start up again. So we all pray that the whole journey home would be a green wave(traffic light green). God is really good. it did happen. We have no stop at all till we park the van in the house. So my dad say tomorrow must send it to work shop, once again i have to sent it to the same work shop that i sent the car too. ISH. Tomorrow busy day.

Once at home, My cousin drop me off at Tanjung. Yea, my cousin is not staying with us. Anyway, i was meeting up the guys and girl for supper. Me, Ben, Jay, Philip and Natasha. We had around the world conversations. Talking these and that and whatever.

Now, I'm back home, is raining outside now too. Talk about timing man. God is really good. Cause after the supper i had to walk back home. It didn't rain till i reach home. Thank You, God. Now i might sleep or play some games. So nighty night

Giant Works..!

Hello,

My day is one busy and stress day. I slept so late yesterday night that i could hardly wake up for this morning Sunday. But thank God that i didn't over sleep cause of the wonderful creation man has made is a alarm clock. It sure wake me up. Wanted to go to church early but my body just say no. So i sleep for another half-hour. Shower and went downstairs to realize that the van is gone. Thought my parents wanted to use the van today. Then i went to the kitchen and my mom was there. Now i really realize that I'm in even big trouble cause of the C2U carnival is today. Grr...ish!! So my plan is going to turn out ugly.

Why did i sleep late? Cause i was testing out my 1terabyte hard disc, whether is working or not. Thank God that the hard disc is working fine. Besides that my mom wasn't ready to go to church and my dad has already left for Sea Park early in the morning. So i have to quickly made so calls to get transport to church. I hate this happen. If my mom got ready slightly earlier, then i can use the car and drive her to Puchong church then drive it to Sea Park to exchange with my dad for the van. But thank God that i can get a ride with Aunt Jo to church.

My day is just getting warm up. So i have to tell people that my van is not available to use for the carnival till i get it soon. Which is around 1pm. Worship practice this morning was pretty fast and straight forward. Worship and Word today was great. Even though i didn't catch much of the Word cause there was a small problem with the toilet upstairs. Is not jam up(shit cannot go down) or what. Is just a minor problem, the flusher is not working cause the chain is broken, so i have to repair it. ISH. So i couldn't do my duties at the afternoon for the carnival cause i got no van. During the whole service i have to keep calling my father hand-phone. My dad didn't pick up cause he is preaching. hehe.

Later i got him, pick me up and then it started to look like is going to rain. I prayed all the way to Puchong to drop off my dad there and all the way to ss14. On the way there, it really started to pour down. Went to Jay's house to wait for the rain to stop. About 30 minutes it stop, so we start preparing the games. As we are about to start, the rain really pour down heavy. It rain so much till 5pm it stop. Yea...great joy to all of us. But is also going to end of the carnival. Anyway, the games corner, were a total sell out. Everyone i think has at least put all their money on games. i think we manage to reach more than 200 coupons collected for games. I think many people had fun today even though it rain. Around 5plus pm, i had to pick up the kids but i thought to myself that i pick them up come here about 540pm, they play around till 620pm then sure have to back then. So i nearly wanted not to pick up the kids. But change my mind about it. Is for God not for me. So i went down to PJ to pick up these kids. (they are not your regular kid, these kids come from broken homes and so on, you know the backstory la).

Went back ss14, have little fun, times up, pack up, sent kids home, drop stuff and have a dinner by myself. Went to eat Ramil burger. It was great. Miss it. now,I'm going to sleep, cause time to charge my batties. hehe. See you guys soon. nighty night

Vessal,
