NSCFL Camp was a blast!!!!! Though I was the only one from Taiping and to a further extent, Perak, I still enjoyed myself, made new friends, and more importantly, the presence of the Holy Spirit. I know I'm more than one week late posting this. I haven't even brought my clothes out from camp yet to iron. xD. Anyway, here's my life at STM for six days.

Day 1 (November 19)
I was stuck in the bus. The bus took a one hour break. ONE HOUR!!!!!! I slept during that one hour and I was still there!!!! What the.... Anyway, I got to finally watch Pirates Of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest. I know I'm outdated but I just watched Enchanted, okay. Anyway, After 5 hours, I finally reach STM. Bathed, ate dinner, met my group, etc. The session at night was good. Uncle Earn Soo talked about how God can use anyone to do something great. After the session I went to bed because I was tired from the long journey.

Day 2 (November 20)
Second day was a busy day. Had plenary sessions and a workshop. Sieh Jin took one plenary session and Uncle Jason took another. For the workshop, Samuel took the workshop. People said he did it differently than the speaker last year but I don't know because this is actually my first time here. The workshop was like something to class every one's characteristics. Very good. And the plenary sessions were on how to make the SCF work. The theme talk was also good. This time it was on how important it is to consecrate and to be Holy. It really struck me because I'm not so sure how to explain it. Thought I was the only Form 4 here but there were many. Yay!!!

Day 3 (November 21)
The third day was interesting. As everyone could volunteered to be in the worship team, so did I. Played the piano.Not to say fanastic but everyone could worship the Lord with all their hearts.
We had to do a garden lunch. Went perfectly well despite Pandora's Box being almost opened quite a few times. Wanted to make the officers sit in the hot sun while we campers enjoy the shade but it didn't turn out :( Uncle Jason not only took the plenary session but the workshop as well. It was 'BGR"!!!! Self explanatory but a lot of funny incidence which is too long to explain came out. Theme talk was also good.

Day 4 (November 22)
Workshops again was fantastic. Sieh Jin's old schoolmate took the session. On the importance of christian teachers. We were challenged on being teachers. Another carrier option I can consider for the future. The theme talk (the last one) that night struck me the most when he said if the salt is still salty and doesn't come out of the salt shaker, what good is it. True. I mean, if you don't evangelize, what good is it?

Day 5 (November 23)
Today was fasting and praying. FASTING. Means no food. Was very good. Prayed for school and nation. And the officers had to wash our feet. And in turn wash theirs like how Jesus washed his disciples feet. After that, Break fast. Relieve, actually. Could finally eat. The 'prom' night was good. Had funny 'syok-sendiri' plays. Veryone except two groups did the same thing. American Idol - style sketch. Quite boring after a while but there were good ones like the the fake beatboxing and volume-guy. Stayed up till 1.

Day 6 (November 24)
Left early. About 10.30 a.m. Pity. Although it was the last day, didn't get to spend the remainding time with my new found buds. Oh well. Had a good time, though.

I've been rather lazy to post but now I've decided to post on my trip to Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Yeah, I'll get back to criticizing everything another day. So, I went with my parents and two brothers and my sister via SIA. Watched quite a bunch of movies while flying namely Simpsons Movie (funny but stupid), Underdog (not so good movie) and Stardust (the best movie I watched while on the plane). Managed to catch up on the latest movies. Food was splendid as well. They had this beef and rice thing specially made from this Hong Kong restaurant. Well, here's what I can write on the aeroplane.
The Good : - Could catch up on movies.
- Great food.
The bad : - Restrooms were always occupied.
The worst: - My brother vomited during the whole journey through and fro.

We arrived at Hong Kong and stayed the night at a family friend's place. The next day, Shenzhen. Quite interesting place. A lot of cheap stuff. Especially food. Ate like anything. Windows aka. 世界窗口. Can read Chinese? After going there, now I can. The cultural village was also good. When there the whole day, just like 世界窗口. Spent too much of my energy during the morning and didn't really follow what the people were saying due to tiredness. Performances were wonderful. And it was free!!!! In Malaysia you'll usually pay RM120 for this and you'll get the back seat. At Windows Of the World, I only paid 20 yuan (RM10) for front seats xD. Boarded the underground train a lot which is known as Metro aka. 地铁. Practically used the Metro as a primary source of transportation. Shenzhen food is nice. Especially the dim sum. Bumped into a Chinese Muslim eatery. Pretty interesting as he guy made noodles on the spot. Considered pricey for China standards but for 12 yuan (RM6) a large plate of beef noodles was really worth it.
The Good: - Cheap food.
- Efficient public transport. Not like Malaysia. Malaysia, you've got a lot to learn.
The Bad : - Everything was in Chinese. Argh!!!!! Couldn't read!!!!!!
The Worst: - At times didn't get what were they saying. Their accent very different compared
to us.

After four days at Shenzhen, come Hong Kong. Nice roaming around Hong Kong Island and New Territories. Disneyland was only okay. Very kiddy like. Disneyland Anaheim beats Disneyland Hong Kong a million gazillion times. Ocean Park had an inferior impersonation of the SeaWorld performances. Didn't understand what they were saying. Everything was in Cantonese. Argh!!!
The Good: - Hong Kong Island was interesting.
- Lots of chicks. Not all pretty but the Chinese-American and American ex pats are
hot!! You heard me. Not like the Hong Kong and China ah lians/lala muis. There
were some Japanese students at Disneyland Hong Kong as well. About 1-2 of them
were cute xD.
The Bad : - Everything is expensive. The Munchy's cookies that Malaysia exports to Hong
Kong is so much more expensive than in Malaysia. About RM3-4 more expensive.
The Worst: - Everything's so small!!!!! They cram everything into little spaces. People are
forced to hang their laundry outside the balcony.
- Everythings in Chinese!!!! And they speak Cantonese!!!!! Me don't understand
Cantonese!!!!!
- Some really stressed out Hong Kongers. They'll swear at anything. Luckily I only
bumped into them once.

You can check on my photos but I uploaded them all on Facebook. DeviantArt's a bit too tedious to upload. So get your Facebook account if you want to see them. If you intend on insisting on not using Facebook, then I'll try to upload it on DeviantArt.

Came back from Hong Kong. Nice and cold. Had lots of dim sum at both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Had chinses muslim food at Shenzhen as well. Interesting. Freezing at 10 degrees. It was so cold my jacket couldn't even keep me warm. Quite late now. I'll upload the pictures on my Zorpia and Deviantart web pages later. Right now I've uploaded my Hong Kong pics up on Facebook. Feel free
to check it out.

Check these web sites out. Shows how much our beloved Government is flawed. Such a shame. Being a democratic country, just what the ********** are they doing? And covering up the mess they made on they've made. Pretty much sounds like China. Sigh. Usually local news covers news more than foreign countries but what the h***?!?!? It's the other way round!!!!

Headlines are self-explanatory. I guess that Ramli bugger/burger guy sure has inspired many, especially the Chinese, to join the police force. Funny actually since I predicted that in my last post and surprise, surprise, it came true in the form of yesterday's newspaper. According to the papers, MCA Youth reckons that they are "Slowly, slowly we are breaking the all of resistance". They find the statistics encouraging, thinking that they are joining for a good cause. Well, surprise, surprise, I think they're trying to get a shot at being a RM27 mil cop. Well done, Ramli. For inspiring many, especially the Chinese, to join the police force to be just like you.
