Chosen To Serve

I attended ASI (Adventist-Laymen's Service & Industry) 9th Bi-Division Convention at the Grand Season Hotel, Kuala Lumpur last week. The testimonials and sermons that were conveyed by the speakers really hit me. I was inspired and touched by them. The theme for the convention was "Chosen To Serve"

I'll be honest, i actually didn't want to join the convention. My only plan once i get to KL was to do some shopping, shopping and MORE shopping. I have to thank my mom for forcing me into going to the 1st night of the convention (Thanks Mom!) The singers that performed at the convention all hebat-hebat belaka. Overall, i'd say the convention was a success.

Oh, if you're wondering where i stayed during the convention (4th - 7th Dec), I stayed at Vistana Apartments. A short walking distance to the hotel. There were 10 of us who stayed under the same apartment and all of us was on time for every session of the convention. Some of the participants of the convention stayed at the Grand Season and guess what? they were most of the time late.. so sad la. If i was staying at the Grand Season, i would be 5 minutes earlier for every session hehehe.

I'll tell ya'll about my 4-day 3-night stay at KL tomorrow. It's almost time for me to go home now. Drive safely, readers.

Holy?

It was a heated discussion that we had on facebook on religious issues. No, it wasn't between Christian and another religion but it was between Christian denominations. It all started by this boy, who at the end got a taste of his own medicine. As an Adventist, i respect other religion and also other Christian denominations. I don't go here and there proclaiming that i am in the right path and tell everyone to be an Adventist just because i believe i am in the right religion. Everyone, no matter in what Christian denomination they are, be it Catholic or protestants and also other religions (Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist) they all believe they are the right religion in the world but that doesnt give you the right to go condemning other people's belief. So yesterday, this is what he posted on his shout out box: He is a Catholic, so indirectly he is saying that other Christian denominations are FAKE. He claims that God gave him visions and voices to go and save the human race from

Kuching getaway (Day 1)

Image
I have been wanting to get away from the hectic work life and studies since may. So this is it. A domestic getaway to Kuching, Sarawak :) Our flight to Kuching was at 8am on AirAsia. We arrived early, at about 9:15am. 10 minutes early. The first thing we did was went to the hotel to confirm our reservation of room & have breakfast. We were really hungry by the time we reached the hotel. The area that we are staying didnt have that much of eateries nearby. The hotel's frontdesk lady said we have to walk 10-20 minutes to the nearest eatery. We were searching for Laksa, by the way.  After walking not 10, or 20.. But 30 minutes!!!! We found an eatery at Chinatown. It was a small coffee shop (i forgot the name) but it served kolo mee and sarawak laksa. So we had our breakfast there. After that we walked somemore and went to sarawak plaza, tun jugah and centrepoint. I was surprised that the malls here are not like the ones we have in KK. I could walk around each malls in less than 5
