I'm Already Gone

Attending Acts Church last Sunday really made me miss being in the energetic and vibrant environment of a charismatic church. Just walking through the door gave me the feeling that I was going to experience something special during the service.

Unsurprisingly, worship was heartfelt and the message delivered by the Pastor (who is hilarious and his face round round like mine! I like!) was both meaningful and memorable.


Pastor Kenneth Chin


I later told Ah Meow (I refuse to call her Melissa!) that she was very blessed to be positioned in such a church. When I told my mum about Acts she asked me, "So you every Sunday want go up meh?"

Of course if petrol was free and there were no tolls to pay, I would definitely consider it. But God has positioned me in my church at the moment, and it is here that I'm supposed to serve. And there is no better place than being where God has placed me. After all, God is not just God of the big churches in the big cities, He is God of the small churches in the small towns too.

Anyway, after church we had lunch, and after lunch I kena ditch T_T. The period between the lunch and the AYA awards was practically the 'Dark Ages' for me. I basically 'stoned' for hours. Zhou later asked me, "How you stone so long? I dunno how to stone lo." Its actually pretty simple. Here are the basic steps to stoning:

1. Find a good place to stone. (For me it was infront of McD....train self-control leh!)

2. ......There is no step 2. Just.......stone.

On to the AYA Awards. It was held at KLPAC (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre). Yong went there by himself while the rest of us squeezed in 1 car from Subang. Yong easily reached there in about 20 minutes, while we had some difficulties finding it and reached there after an hour plus. Seriously I'm rather impressed by Yong. 10-months KL boy owned three 20+years KL people. Anyway just in case your wondering, KLPAC is located deep inside a park, so you definitely won't see it on the road.

Felt a bit out of place as everybody (even Yong!) were wearing very formal while I was told by someone (Ah Meow!) to wear casual formal -_- Well nvm, at least I still better than Zhou who didn't even wear a shirt! LOL. Can't blame him though, he last-minute kena drag to go.


Dah lah nvr wear formal still want act cute!

Actually we also but at least we wore nicer! =)

Zhou jealous so he sabotage the camera. 
Nvm its artistic in a way......I guess -_-


And of course, what would a photoshoot be without my trademark 'pouting face'.

The classic pouting face.

Overall I think it was well-organised. Good job by the volunteers. I was laughing like mad when the opening act (who were guys) performed the Gee Gee Song. The sit-down 'talk show' was pretty interesting as well.

Zhou, Ah Meow and I thought that the girl (diagnosed with cancer) who went to post-tsunami Acheh to help would win the "Most Outstanding Youth Award", but Yong guessed correct and it was the guy who was helping students in terms of scholarships and educational advice who turned out to be the eventual winner.



Guess that's why Yong's Fantasy Football is the highest, his gut feeling pro. But lets not talk about Fantasy Football. The fact that the much-maligned Lucas got the same points as Drogba and Rooney COMBINED says it all really. -____-

Despite only having 3 hours + of sleep I was pretty fresh the next morning. Traffic was clear so didn't take too long to reach Melaka. All the way down we were listening to Hitz.FM and the two Chelsea fans who 'took over' the studio. Its worth noting that no Chelsea fans actually called in to bask in the glory. Instead it was mostly MU fans and even Liverpool fans (to laugh at MU) that called in.

Once we reached Melaka we went to McD for breakfast! They were giving away a free cereal box along with the breakfast meals. For those of you who don't know, my lunch everyday is cereal. So if I go to McD every morning for breakfast, I will be getting free lunch everyday!

Like I told Zhou, I'm finding fewer reasons to not go to McD, or in his paraphrase version, I'm finding more reasons to go McD -__-

Ok signing off now. Its getting late....

I'm already gone~
