We just had our Recess / Campus Revolution Wildfire party 2 on the 23rd January 2010. It was a great event. It started at 7pm and ends at 10:30pm.
Of course, we had prayer before the event. A pastor present shared her vision. She had prayed for 15 years. She said its time God shakes the nation and we are to wake up and pray. Pray more and waste less time. We prayed for the event for Malaysia, for personnel in charge and for Pastor Sam, our speaker.
We started with Pragas and another teacher opening the event. The very thing that got my attention was the shout from where we come from. We were asked to shout the names of our schools first. Pragas commented that he can’t hear it clearly due to the different names shouted. Pragas then asked us to shout which church we come from. We did. Pragas again commented that he can’t hear it properly. Here is something that got my attention. He then asked us to shout Jesus, the one we all believe in and came for. We did and JESUS resounded loudly and clearly. Now regardless of where we come from or which church we come from, we should all understand that we are all God’s children and we all believe in Jesus. I felt that the denomination barriers and the barriers of which school we come from began to fall. It’s like we are united as one.
Next we had an awesome time in praising and worshipping Jesus. The time has come; Consuming fire and God of everything were among the songs sung. God of everything impacted me like never before even though I sang it several times. The chorus got me. “God of everything, reveal Yourself to me. Take me as I am, all of me, all for You”. Yeah, God, we are here for You. We are Your vassals and we are to give you our all to have Your all.
After praise and worship, the leaders of Recess Revolution in their schools were called forth to be prayed over. We are proud to have them and are honored to support them.
Next we had the testimony from a student, a teacher and a lecturer. God spoke to me via the teacher and lecturer greatly while inspiring me to do something via the student’s testimony. The Student’s testimony reminds me that it takes courage to see change. The teacher’s words still resound in my mind. “If students pray together for a change and with Recess Revolution, Penang can be saved. If this movement is brought over to Sarawak and Sabah, Malaysia can be saved”. Yeah. It’s time to wake up. We need to pray and do something. Show up during prayer! Stand up and pray! Speak up by telling everyone the call to proclaim God’s kingdom now. The lecturer told us on how student’s boldness and when God called, we are to be faithful. This actually led to the formation of SEGI College’s Christian Fellowship. Malaysia can be changed and it has to begin today with us being courageous to do something under God’s direction.
Next in line was Pastor Sam’s message – the balcony syndrome – where if we do not have a purpose, we will start to do things that will ruin us with pride. Humility brings wisdom and creativity.
After the message, we had praise and worship before we adjourned. It was a great event. We learned a lot of things from other brothers and sisters. Most importantly, we are one in Christ.

Prayer for Malaysia
I was inspired to pray this prayer and hope that all my friends will pray this prayer for Malaysia too. It's taken from the Lord's prayer and modified for relevancy. So if you don't think that its agreeable, just ignore this.
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed it be Your Name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done in Malaysia as it is in heaven
Give us this day, prosperity in our nation
Forgive our nation and our government of our sins as we repent from not forgiving but judging and neglect praying for those whom You've put in authority over us
Lead Malaysia away from the path of destruction
And deliver our nation from the work of the evil one
For Yours is Malaysia, the glory forever and ever
Amen
God bless Malaysia
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed it be Your Name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done in Malaysia as it is in heaven
Give us this day, prosperity in our nation
Forgive our nation and our government of our sins as we repent from not forgiving but judging and neglect praying for those whom You've put in authority over us
Lead Malaysia away from the path of destruction
And deliver our nation from the work of the evil one
For Yours is Malaysia, the glory forever and ever
Amen
God bless Malaysia

Holiday plans
Well, its semester break. Almost a month's break. What should I do? I think I will start to put my skills to work. I think I will try to brush up my guitar skills and maybe composed a song. Still waiting for Nicholes's news on weather I am needed for part time during this period. At the meantime, I will try to brush up my statistics as I am still unsure if I pass. Even of I do, I need to prepare for my next semester. Right now, I'm preparing myself for my journey home and Recess and Campus Revolution's Wildfire party tonight. I'll be at my friend's house tonight. After Church service and youth leaders meeting tomorrow I'll be on my way home to Ipoh. Thank God for helping me through this entire semester!
Business applications in Facebook
Hey for all my readers here. I'm not a super spiritual guy but I'm just an ordinary guy.
Near the end of the year, I was recommended by Justin Ooi my friend to try this application: Super Tycoon. It's a business based game where you produce products and complete challenges. You may also trade resources with money from other players by buying or selling them for money. The interesting thing is that in this game, we need to balance upkeep and output as well as capacity. This is real challenge as we are limited by business permits. So nobody can say that its easy as most of us experience shortage in upkeep after a long duration of time.
For those interested, this can be a training on asset pricing (replication, insurance assets and arbitrage). The link is:

To add me as your business partner in the application:

Have fun though!

Sowing and reaping in exams
It has been more than 2 weeks since I last sign it. Was having exams. The final for this term is very difficult. Wish I had pay more attention, did more tutorials and exercise and wished that I had done more revision.
The last 2 week was very different compared to what I've been through thus far. Studies is never gonna be the same. I finally understood what it meant by "what you sow is what you reap" in studies. It basically means if you don't study... Don't expect good results. A classmate of mine actually failed the 1st marking. Now this is probably because she never attend class regularly (I mean how can you even pass if you don't understand the subject and yet not attending class regularly?). I'm amazed how Nicholes my good brother in Christ did well in his exam even in the last minutes of studies. It shows me that even if you sow, you still reap. Nicholes put in more effort than I could have ever put in my entire semester added together in 2 weeks time. Now I'm not judging but he really put in loads of effort. Although he may not score but at least he passed some of the subjects.
In the end, it's still comes to passing exams and scoring comes with our sowing of understanding the subject via revision, tutorials and class attendance. God can make miracles happen but I always believe that God has principals and we need to follow His principal and not wanting things our way. God is not an unfair God that rewards lazy students with flying colors and giving the same results to someone who don't work hard for it. Cause God also knows that if he does that, it will destroy that person's future as that person will not learn how to be independent and may not glorify Him.

A new year!
Its 2010. 10 represent complete. Let's enter God's fullness this year. This year will definitely be an awesome year! All we need to do this year is to: Prepare the fields for the Lord's rain, be reminded of Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,". (As we lay them all down for Holy Spirit to do His work (9 = work of the Holy Spirit), we will be able to enter God's fullness (10 = fullness).) and to focus on God (Don't lose focus on Him or we will not receive what He has installed for us). The Lord is great. Let's believe for His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth (Malaysia) as it is in heaven. Let's believe for the manifestation of the sovereignty of the Lord in our government. Let's believe that the wisdom of God to be upon our studies and work. Let's believe for the favor of the Lord to be with us as we interact with our friends and family. Let's believe that our non believing relatives and friends as well as contacts to come to the Lord. Let's see the Lord bring us to greater heights in our ministry as we be faithful to Him. Let this year be better than the formal years. Amen!
