CLAY Cafe Night 2008

Last Saturday, CLA Youth Ministry (CLAY) held their special Cafe Night 2008. It was not only a splendid night but more importantly , it was night for the fine youths in CLA to strut their stuff as youths ~ musically, socially and spiritually. The setting for the Cafe Night was very interesting though. The sanctuary atrium was turned into a classical setting of French cafe. Against the backdrop of a piece of large black cloth, interesting stage for singing performances and classic French cafe background music made this event such an eventful evening. It was really a fun night for every one who attended this Cafe Night. The whole idea was to get the youths to invite their friends over for a night of music and food. It was encouraging to see a good turnout for the event. Special performances by special guests and our own special CLAY teams were great.
It all started when Stefanie asked me and my buddies [ Errol & Steven ] if we could help her run the kitchen section for the Cafe Night. Seeing her enthusiasm and great heart, we said. " Why not? Let's get cracking!" So, in came Jessica, Soon Ling, Wan Sin and later on Evelyn and Betty. Not forgetting, we had extra hands in Josephine & Jocelyn Gan! Stefanie and the team corresponded through e-mails and impromptu meetings while everything came into place.
With food servings like spaghetti, nachos dip, mini pizza, happy meal [ nuggets and cocktail sausages ] ,roti kahwin, garlic bread & mushroom soup, tuna dip with potato crisp and red bean dessert, it was a fun night for all of us. Our Food Cordinator was Soon Ling and soon, she was belting out the food list as they came in a flurry of action. Clearly, everyone did their job well and it was really fun being in the kitchen with these wonderful men and women.

Then, there this special concoction of drinks with names like Wango Tango, Arsenic, Joker, OO7, Rasa Sayang, Chocolate, Cappucino Shake, Something....with ..something bee [ too long to mention ] and a few other concoctions in which I have forgotten their names, it was a nice way and fun to see it going out of the drink station multi-coloured. The taste...LOVE IT! I guess, our unofficial food taster was Bro.Lawrence who just ate and slurped all the wrong orders! He, too had a great time!
Yunno, as far as the food and drinks are concerned, a lot of effort and a lot of care were taken to ensure that the food is ready, cleanly prepared and served on time. Yes,it was hectic at the small kitchen section but we managed it with great style, enjoyment and great team effort. That makes it very special but one back-breaking work, man especially the cleaning up! Thank God for the great team, we managed to get the kitchen area squeaky, spick and span cleaned in no time! Thanks guys for the great effort.

As for the crowd, somehow, I felt they were blessed that night.It was a night of really great music, a serving heart and a great time to fellowship. During one of my breaks in the kitchen, I went out to greet the youths - table by table and asking them about the food and the music. Many were happy with the food and the music fare. Many were impressed with the set-up and some even asked me if this was a regular thing for church youths. I told these youths [ boys & girls ] that we pray hard and we play hard too ~ sending them into a fit of laughter! Then I told them that they could drop by and see what CLAYouth meetings could offer them. I guess, I just wanted to do my part in helping out the team. Anyway, I told them, be ready for an adventure of their lives!!! So, youth leaders out there, you pray hard for the youths to drop by and bless their lives, ok? You just pray and lead them well, God would do the rest!
At the end of the day, I was dead beat tired as it was a working day for me earlier while I still had to run up and down the town to get things for the cafe night. It was really a worthwhile effort to help out. I always find it rewarding to be able to serve in the best capacity I could. There is no self glory in this ~ only a servant heart. That's what the kitchen crew [ Errol, Jessica, Soon Ling, Betty , Evelyn, Steven, Wan Sin , Josephine, Jocelyn ] felt that night ~ to be of service and be a servant for a good cause.I am truly blessed that at my age, with bones creaking & tweaking everywhere and tiredness, I could still play a small part in His Kingdom. That is truly satisfying!

BTW, Cheers to you, Stefanie! You did a great job of managing the preliminary works and helping out at the drinks section! You are truly special ! ~
Oh!Yah! I forgot to mention that we [ the chefs & waiters ] had specially sewn apron by Faith, Stefanie's mom. Thanks a lot, Faith! We really look good in the apron and it fitted us nicely! OhYes! One very concerted and agreed observation is that youths of Malaysia has food grinder and processors in their stomach! Boy! These young people can eat,eat,eat,eat and eat as though there is no tomorrow. Somemore, they can ask what's for supper?!! Aiyoooooo................

Excitement....

As I got back to home after 7 hours of leisure drive back from Penang, I was again on the road to Yong Peng the very next day as I reported for work! It wasn't coincidental but that's just work, my friends. As usual, I was kinda expected this to happen as everytime I get back to work after a break, it would be an outstation trip for me. So, I have adjusted to it already! The drive was long and hard as the sun was raging hot but on the way back, it was raining cats and dogs! Honestly, at some stretch of highway, I couldn't really see the road. It was raining real hard but I got home safely. Thank God for that! It's good to give thanks to the Lord for keeping us safe in His hands, yunno. Anyway, I was really tired as I had about 3 hours of sleep earlier that night and I am no spring chicken, man. Anyway, I snugged for forty winks at the Pagoh R&R area. These forty winks helped me catch some much needed rest before jumping back behind the wheels to get home.

Then, there's this excitement of putting up the Christmas tree. We just wanted to catch the holiday mood again and feel good. The tree came out piece by piece and so did the decorations. We all had fun putting up the tree and decorating the tree. It was really a family effort and I really liked the family time after a hard day at work. I guess, in many ways , I am more blessed than many others. As my family and I look forward to Christmas, we continued to reflect of the goodness of God in our lives. This is not an emotional overdrive but just a reflection of our lives as a family over the year.
As we gazed lovingly at our decorated Christmas tree, we just knew we did a great job at decorating the tree!~ Wouldn't you agree ? So, come on now, care to contribute some gifts to be put down below the Christmas tree? They say, it is a blessing to bless others with gifts. Ha......ha.......I am convicted and convinced that what they say is true. Hope to see more gift box appearing at the foot of the tree soon! Ha................ha.......................
Be blessed every one ! Have a great week ahead!

A Touch of Lives

One of the climax of my break in Penang was to be a witness and play a small role in Tabernacle of Praise Church [ TOP ] "Big Party"! What was unique about this party is that it is a party to feed the poor in Jelutong town. I have always wanted to witness this happening as it is always " seeing is believing" thingy, right? Well, to me, I just wanted an experience with the party and I must say, it was a feeling of overwhelmed and gratitude!
When it was first announced that there would be a big party that Sunday evening, I was really happy and was looking forward towards it. Tables and chairs in the sanctuary were re-arranged to signify a place for the underprivileged and for the poor to have some drinks, tidbits and a sermon. Five chairs and five pack of drinks together with some tidbits were prepared on the table. It started at about 5.30pm with registration for medical care, sugar level check and haircuts! People of all walks of life mainly the elderly came to the church to register for free medical consultation and medicine administration. It was really a sight to behold with so many people seeking medical attention for their illnesses and so on. One distinct smell as you hit the third floor of Tabernacle of Praise Church building is " old people " smell and some quite nasty smell from the vagrants on the streets. But the volunteers were undeterred by all this and continued working at their best. I was so touched by the act of these volunteers and it rend at my heart a lot. Then, I realised that at the temporarily set- up barber shop, whereby these underprivileged people would get their haircut by Pauline, her daughter and a few fellow brothers of the church. All these were done in the name of love, care and concern. I know that in some churches, the phrase "love, care and concern" remains an attractive and much lauded coined phrase with no real action put into it [ trust me, I know that this is true! ] but for this church, it is alive and well! What a great way and privilege to serve together with the Lord!
Then came the feeding part. After they have gone through their medical check-up and their haircut done, it was food time. Yunno, I was so amazed by the food that were being served to these needy people. Imagine seeing chicken curry, fish slices, mixed vegetable and spring rolls being served and top-up with a bowl of nice sweet red beans as desserts. I was truly amazed that these people actually took the trouble to feed these people. This is walking the talk in the plainest of sight and unlike others who are practically talking but not walking!
As I served some of the old folks that evening together with Joa Wee and the rest of the people, I really felt so privileged to have been able to participate in such a noble walk with the Lord and the real people who truly sees the real meaning of feeding others and reaching out to them. I believe it strongly in my heart that that the people can only do this if there is a greater anointing that flows from the very top of the leadership. Bravo and well done to the TOP leaders! Like they used to say, the people can only do what the top people do or say to them. This again reflects the good governance and an well-oiled leadership anointing flow in line with the Word of the Lord. I am also so touched that each volunteer does it with great solidarity, one dedication and one conviction ! That made the difference! Service with a great smile!~
Later, I was told that each person present that evening would be given a 5kg bag of rice, some beehoon and some can food stuff to take home. It is really a humbling experience for me and I have been blessed indeed. I had wanted to learn the true meaning of servanthood and God had shown me the path of servanthood by the bold men and women in TOP who had served in the big party! Yunno, there was no concern of race, color or creed here! It was just serving God through the lives of these men & women of TOP. What a sight, indeed! What a lesson we all could learn from this sharing of goodness with the not so privileged/neglected group of people.
Honestly, in the accounting sense, this is a losing business for the church but they have not lacked as they continued to feed and to serve these portion of forgotten society in our nation today. That is how big their faith is with the Lord. By the looks of things, TOPians never lacked anything - faith , trust and unity!





So, the next time you are around in Penang or even in your local church~ reach out, serve food and bless these lives. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirtied or even play your part in supporting such a worthy cause.You'll never lack anything when you are in God's presence! Here's to you~ Live Right!

Friendship Bliss....

For the last 4 days, I have been so blessed in my life. Though I was on a break from work with my family, I am so blessed that even in this land called the Pearl of the Orient, I've managed to gain new "family" members. What an extended family indeed! I want to say that I could NEVER imagined that I would have such great extended friends/family in the lives of BA & Jessy, Esther , Alyna, Darrian & Derris . I am ever so thankful to my closest friends/family, Vive & Sathy for introducing them to my family. Gosh ! There are simply no words to describe what wonderful people they have been and how much they have blessed my life and my family members.
From the moment my family and I arrived at Vive & Sathy condo unit, we were whisked into the car and driven to a place to sample the frog & eels porridge. It was at this place that everyone had gathered there for a great time of food and fellowship. I was blessed by their openness and their northern hospitality. We had great laughs and what I didn't know was that there is more food in store for all of us. After the sweating and salivating [ the frog & eels cooked in "kungpao" style with lots of chillies!!! ], we proceeded towards Ananda Bhawan for teh tarik session. It was at this place that we had the long tosai and komtar teh tariks and drinks! Again, great laughs and good fellowship all around! Then it was off to bed with our bellies jutting out signalling the insufficient place to download more food! The following morning, it was off to a place for our bee hoon and fried fish pieces. The taste..... heavenly while the kopi-o.......kingsly,man! After bidding farewell to Jessy, Esther and Alyna, we went to Straits Baptist Book Store to browse on some items and books. Soon, Vive & Sathy were telling us about this place called Rainforest. Peculiar name but bread without preservatives are their specialities. Vive bought us some wholemeal raisin bread loaf while I chose the cinnamon rolls while the ladies courted the moist chocolate cake. Then it was off to Tabernacle of Praise (TOP) for Youth Meeting. It was inspiring to see so many youths attending the meeting and giving their fullest attention to the Word sharing. From here, it was off to Batu Maung for seafood dinner with our extended family. Food looks appetizing and surprisingly good. Then it's to Batu Ferringhi for our DVDs and souvenir hunting time before going back to Ananda Bhawan for a cuppa of tea and more fun and fellowship. As we turned in for the night, I was quite ashamed to say that I have not made a single payment for the food as they have been taken care of by Vive and our new friends. When I confronted Vive about this, he simply told me, " Do you think they would let you pay? This is their place, man! You pay-lar when they are in Melaka, ok?" Oh! How blessed I am for their generosity and their blessing! Never felt so blessed in my life. It overwhelmed me to feel that people actually do bless you because from where I came from it is always taking and more taking. Of course, thank God for the good friends in Melaka too, this generosity was not confined in Melaka and now in Penang too. So, it was really awkward and sometimes, I feel unpleasant when I received such fine blessings. Yes, I was uneasy but I know deep in my heart that God would bless these beautiful people for what they have done for me and my family. I really appreciate each and every bit of generosity & blessings they had showered us.

I then attended church service as usual and I soon met up with more friends. One couple whom I would like to mention is Kuna & Cheng. How we met through Vive is a long story but their invitation for dinner was truly a real blessing to Vive,Sathy, Soon Ling, Joa Wee and myself. We were treated with a buffet dinner at E & O Hotel - one of the poshest place to dine in Penang! I just couldn't believe it that I actually dined in E & O Hotel!~ Thank you, Kuna & Cheng for your hospitality. I'll always remember this as it was the first time I have eaten a grilled lobster together with a host of other good food stuff. The cheese cut was nice, oysters were superb while a host of other food were fantastic. Not forgetting, we had a blast of a time talking, sharing and having lots of laughter too. Oh! How blessed I am indeed to be able to speak to these two wonderful people! Truly truly a real blessing!
The following morning , we landed ourselves at Jaya restaurant for some Indian food! It was mighty nice and then it's off to Queensbay for some window shopping and reading. I practically stuck and snugged myself at Borders as I really enjoyed reading very much. Books!Books!Books! what a fanfare, man!

As for dinner that night, we met up at Teck Seng Restaurant for some pork [ yippeee. some staple food for me! ], fish and a whole load of niceties! Yummy, yummy, yummy! Food was fantastic! Later, we adjourned to Starbucks at some place called EPark to have some fun time of sharing and more laughter. As I sat down at the corner, I felt so blessed by these people. People who are simple in nature, no pretentious ways, trendy and tasteful while unabashed, friendly and chatterbox, indeed! These are good ingredients for great friendship.

Thank you so much, my friends for sharing your heart, your lives, your smiles and laughter including your loving & caring ways towards my family and I. I have been so blessed so much and there are simply no words except to continually thanked you people for taking the time and trouble to bless us so much. In the bleak and dark world we lived in today, I can safely say that what you people have done has been a great testimony for my life and my humble heart.

THANK YOU, DANKE SHOEN, MERCI BEAU COMP!

Always in my heart : Vive, Sathy, BA, Jessy, Alyna, Darrian & Derris. Not forgetting, Kuna & Cheng. One special group of people. Three cheers to PATI!

Soon Ling's Birthday

It is 18th November, 2008 [ made the correction! Thanks to Jade! ] and it is Soon Ling's birthday. So, like I said earlier, never forget your wife's birthday or else you have a "hard, hard, hard" time in your life, man! Yunno, I am really surprised and a little bit tickled pink after receiving so many responses and SMS over the article I wrote on our wedding anniversary. Those are very encouraging comments, SMS and messages. Thank you so much ! Honestly, I am just writing what I really felt in my heart and I think, everyone should too - write what they feel free about.
Anyway, today, Soon Ling turned.......................younger [ Sorry, I am not going to tell ! It's a privy thing when it comes with women, right? It is case sensitive-lar! ] I want to stress that I am NOT going to get my intellectual properties down there get kicked by this woman, man! Anyway, she has been receiving endless SMS and well-wishers & I am just happy to see her face light up on her special day! She has kinda a cute face especially with those dimples! [ Gosh! I fell for her dimples-lar ! That's why I courted her-lar! Ha....ha..... ]. Her friends [ the ones that went to Langkawi with her ] bought us two bottles of Fortran red wine in small bottle to celebrate our wedding anniversary & her birthday! So thoughtful of them! I wish I could have many friends like that-lar! But yunno what, I am already blessed by having friends like you people out there!
I bought Soon Ling a special gift and she was smiling so much I thought the muscles on her face would just cramped up, though! But I was happy to be able to bless her. Yes, I saved enough this year to get her something. I am proud of myself too for being able to save! Well, she is kind of a simple person and the gifts doesn't really matter to her. I know her heart and her great personality - that itself is the inner beauty everyone seeks, right? I am so blessed I have her as my companion.
So you see when November month comes, I have bigger headache and an empty wallet ! Ha.....ha...........It's double whammy on both occassions! Like the Hokkiens used to say, " buy lottery also not so chun as this one ! "

On a more serious note, Happy Birthday, Soon Ling! God bless you!

19 years of faithfulness...

Today, 16th November, 2008 would be my 19th year wedding anniversary to my lovely wife, Soon Ling. Call me a silly romantic or even a blundering idiot for all I care but I would never forget my wedding anniversary. This is mainly due to the fact that I get a lot of my ears twisted , pinching to the under arms and sometimes near hostile & life threatening reception when I gave my usual "blur face" expression on this day. Oh Yes! I do LEARN, my friends and I LEARNED IT WELL indeed! Never cross a woman for not knowing your wedding anniversary. It could create some typhoons, hurricanes and even hailstorms that would make Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ike looking like play dust. Yes, hell hath seen no fury like the scorn of a woman,man! Ha........ha.......... This is just the introduction-lar! The other thing........don't forget the wife's birthdate !!! [ Mandatory life imprisonment, man! Only plain moi is served for the rest of the year. Then the vicious cycle starts all over again! Yeah..... ha...ha....ha........]
Seriously, it has been a wonderful 19 years living with this woman I would call my wife, Soon Ling. Our 19 years has been layered and lacquered with joy, laughter, tears, fun, heartache, headache , quarrels, disappointments, happiness and sometimes,blood too [ Technically, it's the "vomiting of blood" or another word for "failure to understand" or plain dumbness, I am talking about!] Yes, you name it, we've gone through it. Not all of it but we're trying to get to the nicer ones only-lar. The ugly ones we shall take it with a stout heart and a great stomach for it!
In all honesty, I am so very grateful to my wife , Soon Ling. She is really a God given partner for me. For years now, we have gone thru thicks and thins together and though they are times we felt so strained and felt like letting go, there is always this thin thread in our hearts that would always bind us together. Yes, she can be a pain to me and vice-versa at times but never in a way that could harm our relationship together. That's the beauty of Soon Ling. I guess, we are together simply because we truly love and support one another. Sure, we still fight and quarrel like cats and dogs just like any couple would do but we always make it a point to make up. Saying the word " sorry" soothes a lot of pain and heat away. So never be stingy in saying "I'm sorry" in your relationship. In fact, it helps you to soothes away a lot of uneasy feeling and bring back some harmony. Like I said, it's not easy and sometimes we are like cows and donkeys but we worked it out! This love and support we both shared comes over the years of building trust , confidence and a life together. By all means, it's not easy as ABC but it's workable and teachable-lar.
Yes, I do believe in "love at first sight". I am a living testimony of this because that's how I felt when I saw Soon Ling walked into the halls of my college many moons ago. I guess, in a way, God has put a great woman in my path that day. One that I would always cherish and give thanks to for all these years of being together. Hmmmmmnnnnnn..... now, I am putting some people in a tight and green eye spot, isn't it? Ha.......ha.......... Don't be envious of what I am having right now because I want to give all thanks & glory to God, Almighty for His grace and mercy upon my life to have this woman , Soon Ling as my wife, life partner, confidante and a great mother to my two children.
Yunno, you'll never know how a wife would react in difficult times. But in my years with Soon Ling, I thanked God that she responded well and was even willing to go through the difficult times we went through. It is never a question of our faithfulness to one another but more to the financial side of matters and other matters beyond our control. We have been faithful to one another for the past 19 years and this is never an issue. One thing I've learnt over the years is that the difficult times we go through, well........ we always came out wiser.
As I looked into our lives today, we may not be rich materially but we have been richly blessed by the Lord and the wonderful lives of people that He brought into our lives. People like Wei & Jade plus little Ryan, Yam & Ting, Vive & Sathy, Dinesh & Abby, Steven & Wan Sin, Errol & Jessica, Jason & Shirley, On Tin & Bee Ling, Ignatius & Zamira, my colleague, Teo, Tan & Ai Lee, Lih Gin, Cristal, Jamie, Rachel, our cell group members, friends from afar and near and many others who are just too numerous to mention, who had practically coloured, lighted up and play a significant part in our lives together.
As I looked back into my 19 years of lifelong commitment with this woman whom I call, my wife, Soon Ling, all I can say is that let's have another great journey of life ahead of us - one day at a time! Oh Yes , for those of you who still have this thinking of " Life starts at 40 " and " 40 year old itch" thingy and so on, well..... I've got news for you...... Those things are pure crap! Stay faithful and see through you lifetime commitment of " till death do us a part" vow, ok? One word of advice though.........one woman is tough enough. Don't get yourself in a mess with another! There is already enough problems in this world! No need to add any more problems to it.
So, here's to Soon Ling, God bless you, dearie!~

Little Friend Birthday Party....

If you ever think that I have only adults as my friends, think again! I am also a friend to the little people...eerrrr..... I mean, the children-lar. One such friend is , Master Dave Nathaniel Louis. We are practically friends since he was born. He is the first male offspring of my good buddies, Dinesh & Abby! [ Whoa! Suddenly sound so biblical followed by thunder & lightning flashing! Gempak a bit! ]
Coming back to reality, Dinesh & Abby together with Auntie, Zamira and the children [ Shamitra, Shalini and Shaila ], Errol & Jessica, Josephine & Jocelyn, Jason & Elizabeth & their children, David and his family, Lennard & Lisa together with their little bundle of joy and Nelson & Sarah, celebrated my little buddy, Dave's birthday. Incidentally, Dave shares the same birthday with my wife, Soon Ling. Anyway, it was a pool party and Dave's "kakis" [ form church and from school ] were there to "hing chuk" [ celebrate ] his birthday and make it a great party for him. As usual, there were plenty of food around to satisfy the hungers pangs of the adults and children. I tell you by the time these children hit the two water pools, they are practically like possessed water players. Somehow, these tiny tots seemed like twisted lot and then came the inevitable that is one of the children would lean against the pool and water would escape the pool. Being as twisted as them, I was handed the water hose to re-fill the pool. I made the hose look like a fountain hose and the children went ballistics! Meaning, they went off their marbles for enjoyment. What a fun splash they made. In all honesty , it was really fun to see them enjoying themselves out there! Hey, they are children,man. They should be able to enjoy themselves. I guess, the only thing missing was the sun bathing chair and a couple of manicurist or pedicurist!! Sheezh, I must be thinking of my vacation!!!!
Anyway, it was a fun time being able to celebrate Dave's 8th birthday. This is one energetic, tough yet humble & respectful young man! Never mind if he seemed naughty or too quiet at times but in reality, he is a great young guy. He is actually a very nice boy and this can only reflect well on his parents, Dinesh & Abby. Yes, he seemed rough and tough at times but children are like uncut & unpolished diamonds. Once, they are trimmed, cut, shaped and polished, they will turn out ok! In fact, they would turn out sparkling and shinning.
So, to Dave, Happy Birthday and God bless you, man!

BBQ Nite.....A Combined Cell Delight

Just a few moments ago, Bachang Cell group in which I am a part of had just concluded a night of fellowship and fun with another cell group namely Town 2 Cell. It was really a good time of talking. laughing , sharing of ideas and loads of food! [ Yippeeeee! ] The top of the charts was the barbecued chicken wings, beef and chicken burgers, sausages , tau kuah, tau kees and corn. Our centre table spread was even more impressive namely roti jala, thick and creamy chicken curry, mixed vegetables, Ayamas BBQ chicken, fruit salad, vegetable acar of cucumber, pineapple & chilli mixture and rice. Equipped with iced-cold greenish in color mixed fruit cordial, we have prepared all the ingredients for a great time of fellowship and button bursting food fare!
We started out with our usual P & W session followed by a word of prayer before 'makan' time begin! By this time, the children are already screaming for food!
We had started out quite early at the BBQ pits which were brought by Alex and Yvonne. We shared some good laughter and fun while trying our hands at the BBQ pit. My only problem was that the smoke keep getting in my way and I felt as though I was in another fire site - the only difference was that this smell nicer - BBQ chicken smell,man! My fellow accomplice in crime at the BBQ pit was Bryan Lee. We were having real fun firing up the chicken wings to perfection while making sure the sausages were in edible condition. Scouts honor & sumpah ! We did not gobble up any sausages nor chicken wings prior to hitting the dining table.
I guess, the night turned out great as we had great food and great fellowship together. What more could we asked for! In all honesty, it was really a very relaxing time and tonight was just smooth. It cosy, easy and simple. No fuss, no rules and best of all , no difficulties. Everyone was easy going and pleasant to talk to. Even the children were a bundle of joy but very playful indeed. I think, it must have been the drinks! Someone would have spike the drinks with joy enhancing drugs until these children just go goo-goo and ga ga running around the atrium with their new found bundles of energy. Well, children should be children and they deserve to horse around the place as long as they don't thrash the place or each other for that matter! Great night and cleaning up was equally the fast, man. I guess, more people makes load lighter , right? Well, what a night! A great night indeed! Thanks everyone for a great time out there today! God bless you all for a great night!
