Guess I've been away for a long while. Again. But the things happening around me seem to fluctuate violently between nothing and crazy macadamian nutz! Some jovial and joyous while others mournful and helpless.

And yet despite trying to live out the normal lives after those mournful and sad news, personally, I find it hard to just push it aside. The funny part is that it's not happening to me but to someone else. Perhaps I am rather empathetic by nature.. or perhaps it's true as the bible puts, when one part of the body suffers, the whole body will feel it too.

I guess it's times like these we truly appreciate this life.. this short time that God has bestowed unto us. That we, His creations be responsible in handling this life given to us and use it to give glory to Him.

The past few weeks.. perhaps the past few months even, has been a rather draining time of my life and interestingly, it's not due to work as I'm still unemployed by the time of this writing.

Physically

Emotionally

Spiritually

Drained and weakened.

And me being me, finding the ministry of music to be as such that God will send a song that touches my heart, stirs my soul and revives me.

And that is what I truly want to share with all of you today.

Healing Is In Your Hands
Passion 2010: Awakening

No mountain, no valley
No gain or loss we know
Could keep us from Your love

No sickness, no secret
No chain is strong enough
To keep us from Your love
To keep us from Your love

How high, how wide
No matter where I am
Healing is in Your hands
How deep, how strong
Now by Your grace I stand
Healing is in Your hands

Our present, our future
Our past is in Your hands
We're covered by Your blood
We're covered by Your blood

How high, how wide
No matter where I am
Healing is in Your hands
How deep, how strong
Now by Your grace I stand
Healing is in Your hands

In all things, we know that
We are more than conquerors
You keep us by Your love

How high, how wide
No matter where I am
Healing is in Your hands
How deep, how strong
Now by Your grace I stand
Healing is in Your hands

Be blessed

Be encouraged

Be strengthen

Be lifted

all ye who are weary.

Good nite peeps~

| the road to passion

It was a quiet thing a few months ago when people were whispering around the not-so-known-to-MMUcf'ers unenthusiastically about a lil thingy called Passion aka The 268generation. I knew them even before Phases magazine were still being published in black and white covers. Personally, I find their songs from their way back old album Passion: One Day Live to be simple and honest. Then, news came that they were coming here, to KL but as said above, most CF'ers new nuts about them and I was all hyped up and alone. QQ~

yes Lord, walking in the ways of Your laws,
we wait for You;
Your name and renown
are the desires of our hearts
~Isaiah 26:8~

As the day of the event drew near, we booked our tickets before hand and messily planned our trip. We even managed to sit through 2 day's session of apologetics by 2 great speakers whom are not unfamiliar to us from Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. I digg apologetics. On Saturday, after the morning session and some good 'brave rice', 10 of us headed up to Klang and threw our bags into Vain and J-Ash's houses; all stoned and tired.

laine looks freakeh

twins bazel! twins!

awww.. *rubs nose gently*

That night, along with Joash and Jeremy, we headed to the biggest Jusco in South East Asia as previously mentioned in early January, for the 2nd time and ate at Manhattan Fish Market for the 2nd time too. A full, bloated belly later, we headed back to Vain's crib and was joined by good ol' long time friend from MMU Cyber, Aaron. For some unexplainable reason in this PG friendly blog, we all started doing complex math calculations in our brains and random weird poses of Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Wonderwoman.

its hugeeeee (with flaming prawns)

juju as batman and aaron as spidahman

lust'ious as wonderwoman

On Sunday morning, the bunch of us payed J-ash's church a visit. Met his parents and his brother too. They all look alike.. way too alike. Went to Sunway Pyramid after church to pick up my entrance band for the night's conference. Then we were busy looking for a place to sooth our unending hunger for Some Good Food®. Big names came up like TGIF and Wendys but then, a soft voice whispered to us from a distance.. it's name, was Carl's Junior. Hell yeah!

joash and his bro

wait.. what?

i know, i proved it to her.. heh~

nom nom nom nom

chilly cheese fries ftw!!

At 3.30pm we arrive outside the entrance to the convention center and there was already this big crowd of people waiting. Then at 4.45pm they allowed us to go up the escalator to the entrance of the hall. A small group of us were near the front of the middle entrance which would lead straight to the best seats of the hall.

3.30pm - waiting

4.45pm - still waiting

By 6.15pm the opened the doors and a strong 5000+- people rushed in. Esther-dear and her friends, Ai Ai and her brothers, Becca and myself managed to almost completely secure an entire row tat was 4 to 5 rows from the front of the main stage for the few lucky CF'ers. I sat the far side.. next to two sweet girls from FGA KL a church that's familiar to me.

5.30pm - these people booked great seats for you guys~
give them a bud~

It is impossible to sum the night itself in one post. But here's the whole thing if my memory still serves me.
- awesome flash presentation with rocking music
- Chris Tomlin came up and started the night with Let God Arise
- Louie Giglio came up and explained what the Passion movement is all about
- Louie taught us an efficient way of praying
- Charlie Hall came up and his thing
- Louie came up again and shared with us what grace was all about
- Louie shared a diary of a Ashley to us

Passion Kuala Lumpur

The night ended with an awesomely fresh atmosphere that our Lord is the God of this city and that there are greater things yet to come. I'm glad that most of the CF'ers especially my batch people came and yet I wished a few people whom I have in my heart came too. I believe the songs and the message and most importantly, the Holy Spirit will truly touch your hearts.

    Thanks Passion. Once again you guys gave me the opportunity to have the Holy Spirit reignit the flame that I had 10 years ago. What you guys are doing; it's all more than just a song. May the young people of Malaysia catch that flame of the 268 Generation.

p.s. i can't believe that Louie, Chris and Charlie all look so old already

What followed was a great combination of spaz, bak kut tehs, drinks, sandwiches, donuts and young girl.

told ya so, spaz..

this is for you lucius

you have the tiger in your eyes

subway singapore has real bacon!!

I had a great time though I wish it could've been better still. Nonetheless, I'm grateful for the God has given me to enjoy.

Good nite peeps~ God bless~

| the old new passion from past

Back in the year 2000, 8 years ago when I was 13-14 years old there was this little thing that was happening over the US, I first got a CD called Passion: Road to One Day and as I was reading up on it, this One Day event, I was moved, inspired and hungry.

Then came Passion: One Day Live where thousands of people; university and school students, young and old came to a large open field in Memphis, Texas. Despite the rain and bad weather, One Day Live was a call for repentance, prayer and a renewing of faith and passion. As I read the article about it, I wished and prayed that God would make such a movement in Malaysia too. Long have I forgotten about those prayers but now recently remembered and renewed passion.

I would like to share this with whoever who reads this blog.

May you be blessed as I was and still am.
