A Trip called Rest
(26 October 2006)
It’s suppose to be a trip to Malacca… but I was down with a sore throat and flu (still sick now as I’m writing this post). Was planning to go on with the plan but I guess God has his ways of telling me to get some rest. Ohh yes… I got my good one whole day of sleep… but still sick… 
Nope.. It’s not another version of SPM. It is an abbreviation for Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (name of a place… noun… kata nama khas).
I went to STM on 26 August 2006 for a camp site visit - go there, took pictures… lotsa pictures… just to share with the TRU how does STM looks like in the month of September. hmm… nothing is as good as going there and see with your own pair of eyes. The weather was good too! Departed from Subang at about 8am. The journey took about an hour. Then met up with Uncle Chan (one of the STM staff), he was my tour guide. Very nice of him to bring me around, showing me how the place looks like… the hall… the room… the toilets…
He was elaborating in cantonese… and me being a banana who is able to understand but not able to “really reply” back. I just go “ahh.. yea…” and any questions… well… I did attempt to converse back in cantonese but it’s just bad! Yea.. just imagine it.
After the tour session, then it was photo session… took as many pictures I could. Spent bout an hour just taking pictures.
More photos in STM, Seremban album
After the whole visit, gave Cow Yuan a call as she lives in Seremban and asked her out for lunch. She’s a very nice person!.. actually made time despite the need to clean up her own house. Another tour guide of the day; that is around Seremban town. She brought me to this place, famous for their “hakka mee” but the shop had just open their door but not open for business yet… so we made a detour to a shop selling…
Seremban’s Siew Pau! Yes… Seremban.. famous for their Seremban Siew Pau. Bought quite alot of Siew Pau-s and other varieties of “siew-pastries” for makan at home later of the day.Then back to the shop… still not open for business yet. So this is what we did! more photo session…
Yes… pictures of parrots! There is this bird shop next to the famous Hakka mee shop and there were three parrots in front of the shop. Beautiful feathers… and one could talk!
Instead of waiting for that shop to open, we went to the market place and had hakka mee there. Still taste good to me! I’m still lack of experience to know what makes the best hakka mee taste… look… and feel like… any guidelines anyone?
Hey Cow Yuan, if you’re reading this… thanks! you made the whole trip to Seremban enjoyable… the time of fellowship and everything else!
It was rather dreadful to travel alone to Seremban and doing the visit just to capture pictures. But yea… things needed to be done and it shall be done. With that too… it has sharpen my photography skills in some ways… although it is still far from those pro-photographer 
Yeap, I have taken that step… the public proclaimation as a believer of Christ… the baptism on 24 September 2006. (Sorry bout the late post)

Prayer is not a forceful battering on the doors of heaven persuading God to do what we want, but an expression of our confidence in God.
It could have been the worst weekend as I would need to wake up early at 5am on Saturday after dealing with my diarrhoea. I was tempted to call Cow Yuan to inform her that I will not be joining them for the HeadStart retreat. Yes…the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Was it the the word “retreat” that somewhat made me to push on to attend? or was it the little message in my mind telling me to hang on, get some rest now and be ready tomorrow. As being one of the drivers to drive up to GraceHill Lodge, Bukit Tinggi in the initial plan, I know that I’m not in a well condition to drive… thank you Carol for driving! (She’s a law abiding person! I would recommend her to be your extra instructor after you receive your driving licence).
Our last “official” meeting in this retreat is certainly different from the other meetings we had before… not that the previous meeting brings no significance to me, they had triggered many thoughts in my head. Personally to me, this was somewhat different as there was a calling to make time for reflection as I’ve not been doing that for a long time. The best thing was the type of reflection to do called the “timeline”. I use to reflect on days before the current days itself, perhaps a little further to months. This is different as it is a reflection from the day one individual to come into this world till the current time of reflection. The guidelines itself has triggered many things that’s been hidden in some lost part of my mind and so as bringing back the past memories that’s been sad and happy and how God’s blessings has been showered throughout the years.
I believe that God’s plan is the best for every believers of Him whether if it is a good news or bad news. His timing and His plans and His work is perfect in every ways. What touched me was His unfailing love and His calling to His children to come back to Him when they have took their own desired path regardless how far they have gone. I believe that this HeadStart group meetings has been one of His way to show me His works on others through their sharing and get me back right on track.
Arriving Subang at about 4pm was tiring and sad to me as the journey of this HeadStart meeting has reach the last chapter of the book “Following Jesus in the Real World” by Richard Lamb. As Cow Yuan and the others put it, it is the end of our meeting as a HeadStart group but our journey together is just a start.
As I thought the retreat and everything in the meeting itself would make a blessed weekend but I was wrong. It’s not till later I got a call from Iishan (during my 20 mins nap) to join some of the youths for Ultimate Frisbee. Thought perhaps I should decline and get some sleep but this little message in my head telling me to go for it. The end of the frisbee game was the best in the evening as we have a little talk on bringing in TRU TV.
Nothing more that I could ask for…
To Agnes, Shireen and Eric… we miss you there! Lets have another meet up next time as a catching up session.
The fun… The joy… The friends…
I’ll let the photos do the talking.

… it is about what you can do with them
Living a working life of getting my own salary has tempted me in many ways on my expenses. From purchasing things needed (perhaps of the status “need” only in my head but actually not needed) to the things I want. This certainly can be seen clearly by reflecting back on my pattern of expenses back during schooling days when my parents provided me with a certain sum of allowances (and some other extra mercy allowances) and compare to getting a salary of my own which is more than the allowances.
Things which I use to do… Running an old PC (Pentium 166 Mhz back then) with a heavy application such as Photoshop to come up with something good!
Things which I still want to do… Use my Photoshop as much as possible doing things which I once thought was impossible! However with the latest desktop I have (which I couldn’t even remember what is the processor specification in it) with Photoshop, I’m not using it to the max.
Thinking bout resources in hand and maximizing usage of free resources only reminded me of 2 things in my head,
Check out the person in the Squandered Resources card… somewhat applies to me soon. Ohh well, a call to spend wisely and use the available resources to the max!
