Holiday hangovers...

Well, its been the 1st week since holidays, and honestly im still suffering from holiday hangovers... hehe... But its been good...

My school (Sabah College) were invited (for the 1st time, i think!) to participate in the Inter-School CF Bible Quiz today, and the quiz was held at All Saints Cathedral (why not at Sacred Heart?)...

Each school has 4 ppl in the quiz itself; besides that each school needs to give a short performance, so we all performed a (super)short skit, slideshow and singing... we brought the song, 'One Way' (which was sooo cool!)....

Arrived at 7 am juz now, and seemed lost and alone, then had me fren to bring me in... Turned out nearly all of me mates were there.... Went in, saw a few of me friends from camp and LifeTeen (hehe), and then took pics of me school mates, and the quiz started.

So wished me mates good luck, mind me own buisness, and hanged around... Then came the first performances, was good, then quiz again, then performance, the quiz again, then another rprerformance, then quiz again.... heheh... The quiz was divided into 4 rounds, and 2 schools are eliminated at each round, with the final 2 in the last round... Sabah College nearly made it, but missed the final by 1 point.. We eventually finished 3rd, so not bad, considering its their 1st time... Maybe next year, when maybe i'll join in... heheh...

Then after the final round, it was our turn for the performance, so up we went... The room felt even colder then before (maybe coz its me?) and then we started the skit... luckily this was just for fun, or else we wouldn't be doing well... hehe... wat 2 do, rehearsed for 5 days onli wor... hehe... then it was the slideshow, presented by me fren, Karen, and then the group singing... We sang "One Way", and it sparked the room to life, and lots of ppl were like singing along to this song.... (maybe coz its famous and its always sung at LifeTeen?) I know me frens did... ;-) Then that's it....

After that, lunch time, sat outside and ate with Max, and then went in for the final results... In the final round of the quiz, Lok Yuk were up against the hosts (and sentimental favourites??) St Francis Convent... Lok Yuk won by a point, 48-47 if im not mistaken, but like they said, winning is not the most important thing in the quiz... But i would have liked to win it... hehe... So, congrats to Lok Yuk, winners, and Convent, runners up... 3rd place, us... not bad.. hehe....

Then when it was time to go home, the Convent girls suddenly sang "Happy Birthday" to Amanda Alexis (who's also my friend... hehe!) ... So cool.. I wished her happy birthday too... Then, i wished n greeted any of me frens whom i met, and went home... And that was that...

Then, i went to LifeNight juz now (wow, its Sunday morning now! 2 am wor...) and there was a talk on the sacrements... My newest fren, Maxine, came along for the first time, and looked blurr (sorry ah! hehe...) but it was ok! Right, Max? The LifeNight was good.. hehe... But i wont be going to next week's lifenite, im off to KL for something... hehe... tata!

(Wow, its 2 am already, and i didnt realize! Gotta sleep!)

Ok, that's all! Till next time, bye! (If got anything left out, lemme know, maybe later i'll update this post!)

The 2006 FIFA World Cup is well and truly underway!

Well, first thing first, VIVA LA ESPANA!! Go Spain! I know im one of the few who support Spain, but watch their games, and so far, they play the best football, created the best moves, and are very intelligent with the ball. And scores goals for fun! I hope Spain will go far in this World Cup... After years of underachievement, maybe, just maybe THIS is their year!

Now, this past week has been filled with the World Cup mania, even in school! hehe... I guess that's the power of football, the ability to unite people into one... Now, the official site, fifaworldcup.com has lots of news, pics, details and info, so i'd suggest you guys and gals check it out!

Who will win the World Cup? Well, Brazil struggled against a brilliant Croatia side, Germany are lucky to scrape a narrow win over Poland, Italy looked good on paper, but failed to live up to its hype in the match, so too Argentina, England's chances look bleak, Holland have failed to impress.. That leaves Spain with a chance of winning it...

I have a lot to say about the World Cup and football in general, but i'll leave that to another day, in my article on a major website... So, tata!

VIVA ESPANA!!

This has been an unforgettable holiday! Summer holidays....

Well, the summer holidays will be over in a while... It's been great, it's been fun, and if it's great, and it's fun, then why change it? hehe....

Well, this past 2 weeks have been briiliant... It started with Lifeteen youth camp, which i have already told about... Then we had the Worship Rally - Spread The Fire (Wildfire) a week later (unfortunately, i didn't go coz i fell sick, and very sick i may add...) and from what i heard from me very good friends from LifeTeen, it was great... hehe...

Then, yesterday we had LifeNight, about the church history, and a Q&A session... The LifeNight panned out great.., hehe....

Then, today there was an I.U. (International Undersanding) Bazaar at CP, Palm Square... Too bad i went late, so i missed all the action... hehe... i juz dropped by, said hi to me pals there, and went shopping (window shopping.. haha!) in CP... Finally i get to go out, and its the last day of holidays... haih...

Well, i guess im quite ready for school tomorrow... One thing though, i missed Youth Camp, for some reason.... I enjoyed it, it was great, and i missed it.. Well, life has to go on... But the memories from camp will be with me forever... hehe... or at least till nxt camp... hehe...

Ok, i guess that's it! I don't want the holidays to end for 2-3 days more, but it has to... So, back to school!

Bye!

The 2006 FIFA World Cup is here! Hours away!

Yes, after 4 years, the next World Cup is a matter of hours away! And i will be there in Germany to witness the opening ceremony, (or rather from my unceremonious sofa at home.. hehe!) and all the action!

World Cup, here we go!

Thank you's, congratulations and special messages...

Firstly, i would like to say thank you to everyone at LifeTeen for making me feel wanted in this world, and now it feels like i have another family in LifeTeen!(dunno why i suddenly wanna say this, but its true!)

And thank you to all my friends, who have helped me and be there fo me over the years...

Ok, that's all!

Boring....

Sigh, it’s a boring day.. Stuck in my mum’s office, typing my essay assignment (which, by the way, is damn boring and lame, since, its, OMG, BM!) and looking at the clear skies… Well, its been a boring day so far, and its only 10 am!

I haven’t completed my last post about the LifeTeen youth camp, coz I fell sick, and then my internet line had problems, so maybe posting all those pics (gosh, I took 130 pics, most of them are just for me and only me tho.. ;-) hehe!) So maybe it will take time to upload all those pics…

Anyway, so far me holidays are great, except missing out on the Worship Rally… (oh yeah, to everyone who went, I know u all had a good time with the Lord, and that it was great praising and worshipping Him.. hehe!) Then, after camp, back to boredom.. heheh… At least I got to go shopping… (or window shopping... sigh….)

Oh yeah, World Cup’s coming! Hehe… This Friday, the carnival and the tournament starts, I can’t wait! After all, it only comes once in 4 years. My favourites for the title, maybe England, Spain, Germany Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Holland or any team, coz there’s full of surprises in store… It also gives the managers of some clubs to view their potential transfer targets (read: signings, flops) or newly bought players… One thing’s for sure, its gonna be an exciting month!

Well, I guess that’s all! Later!

Happy, sad, happy, sad...

I know, i know, im supposed to be at the Worship Rally, but i fell ill this morning (even as i type now, im in pain..) and i cant go... I have the damn sore throat, fever and headache... And typing this post is one headache indeed!

Well, i woke up this morning with one serious sore throat, and fever... By 9 am i was very ill, but then i got better, then worse again... So here i am, at home... Well, at least one consolation of me missing out on the rally is watching the Akademi Fantasia Concert 1, which is brilliant... Hehe...

Well, i guess that's it... Nothing much.... Hehe..

Till next time, bye!

LifeTeen Youth Camp 2006 was great! Come, Taste and See! Experience Jesus... I sure did! (Part 4)

Overall, i'd say camp was fun, refreshing, and above all touching.. hehe... Well, the reason i did 4 parts was to have 1 part dedicated to each day, and the final one for my overall thoughts and pics (This post lah!) hehe...

So, without further ado, here are some of the pics from camp!






(For more pics, please visit http://kenlaiya.blogs.friendster.com/photos/the_best_of_me_2006/ )

Now...

Overall, to me, this camp has been a wonderful experience, a thrilling one, indeed. During the 3 days, i met quite a number of new friends, learned a lot, adapted with camp life, and most importantly, i got to experience Him.. It was truly touching and wonderful indeed...

This camp was also a good rest and relaxation after the 2 week marathon of exams... Hard and fast... I truly enjoyed this camp, and liked every one of Jude's sessions and skit plays... Some skits were funny, some were touching... (As yet, i haven't received my disc which contains those skits... Interested? Let me know...) I know some of you may say "its ok but its the same as last year", but for me this was new... So it was great for me...

Well, i guess that's it about the camp... I've written a lot already about this camp... Let the pictures tell the story... hehe...

Come, Taste and See... Experience Jesus!

LifeTeen Youth Camp 2006 was great! Come, Taste and See! Experience Jesus... I sure did! (Part 3)

Day 3 - 29th May 2006

Finally, the last day of camp beckons. This time, i slet well, and woke up late! It was already 7 when i woke up, so hurriedly i went to brush me teeth and wash up while the others were already in the hall... This morning we had aerobic excercises before breakfast. As i was groggy and headache, i didnt really take part, and i kept waking meself up... Eventually i regained my composure during breakfast, and i was ready...

Then it was Praise and Worship time again... hehe... Then it was Session 6, "Give Jesus", with the skit "Compassion", and it was good, as usual... (what u want me 2 say? hehe...) Then it was time for the Prayer Ministry, the Empowering of the Holy Spirit.. It was great and i felt good, and now i am a Missionary! hehe... All 200++ of us... hehe... Then it was time for tea break, and then the closing mass...

The closing mass was also presided over by the same priest, and once again i was in charge of the banner procession thingys... hehe... Then, the funny thing was, as i finished carryin the banner, i went to stop over for a while near the choir, then ended up singing with the rest of the choir! So, it was a funny moment indeed but at that time it seemed serious as any screw ups will be obvious... Then after mass it was time for the thank you's, congratulations' and so on... And then....

Birthday celebrations! Me mates, Jess, Anthea and Adam ngam2 their birthdays were today, so they celebrated their birthdays on stage, together with the rest of the birthday teens in May... So cool oh they all, get to praise and worship the Lord on their birthday, with all their friends (incl. me... hehe...) and then get sprayed water! (tho i would like to avoid THAT last part... hehe..) So, happy birthday to all Lifeteeners yg May, esp those 3.... hehe.. What a way to end the camp, with some praise and worship!

Then it was our final lunch, and i took lots of pics with all the pals as a memory... Who knows? hehe... anyway, took lots of pics, got ready me farewells and checked me affirmations for a last time.. hehe... Then, sadly, it was time to clean up and leave.. I packed me stuff, checked around one last time, and played a little basketball before leaving... Then, i waited for me dad outside, in the canteen, and took some final shots as a memory... The whole building, the place, the people, it will always be remembered as where i met Him....

So, it was farewell, and goodbye...

(Part 4, the overall experience coming soon)
