13th March 2006,
5.45pm Monday evening. Time to pack up. Mum got back yesterday night about 8.30pm, I touch down Pg 6.00pm and straight take cab back home. So tired- take 2 hrs nap, frm 6-8pm. Wake up a bit dizzy, yet better. Now still recovering from my panda eyes, got a lot dark circle already...there goes my sleeping beauty.
Attended Avastin launching on Saturday evening- 7pm Quite technical detailing, more suitable for the doctors- too many studies, can't able to remember so much. Expensive drug- RM1588 per-100mg vial, if a person is 60kg, require 3 vials, will be ~RM5K, aduh... Avastin 100mg pervial (Roche), indicating for metastatic colon cancer, what a high cost of treatment. How can people affort this? The launching is just okie, dinner was very late- 9pm till 11.30pm, then meet up with Kok Keong for drink, catching up after so so long. I've not been back for CNY, has not been catching up with old-schoolmate. Then, back hotel, Angie stay with me for a nite. We chatted till 3am ter-sleep off. Wah, that's my night...very much tiring.
6.45am wake up, take breakfast, take cab to SS3. Wondering so "Tai Tam" alone to SS3. Isn't that dangerous to meet the 'wolf'? If real wolf then habis lar. Reached LightHouse Fellowship about 8.30am, wondering is it the right address? How come just a house, he give me wrong address or what? Hmm...called the phone, no answer, oh no, suspend. Ta da...here come the wolf :) Tall, wearing white collared shirt, with proper short trimmed hair- look so serious. Oh dear, is he the one I'm chatting with all this while? Very serious.
Lighthouse Fellowship, small church, not much people, no drum, no keyboard, just guitar. Entering in, sit at the corner all alone. Kawai and Clarine doing pre-worship, practising on worship. Slowly people coming in, think the whole congregation about 30-40 people, small church. EPCC huge, more than hundreds, all fully equipped. The service started with Pr. leading the congregation on declaration and prayer, followed by some songs, then worship. This is my ever first time attending smaller group church, with long service. Start 9am-1pm (4 hours), wow...I wonder EPCC can have such longer service. The worship was great, full of God's annointing- with simple songs, and a guitar alone can have such wonderful worship- that sure be the work of the Holy Spirit, and God's presence is real. He is there...in our midst, He inhabit in the praises of His people, those who worship Him with Spirit and truth. I have not experience much of speaking in tongues in EPCC, I do believe in speaking in tongue, but we don't use much of it. The church move powerfully with the gifts- speaking in tongue. Strong sense of God's presence and anointing. Refreshing. Pr gives word of knowledge, about some issues about mind that's confuse and hurts. Asked the person to come out, I sense a tug in my heart, is He saying tht to me? Not sure, but God's presence is strong, I can sense that.
Pr. Jayakumar Joseph is the speaker. The message talk about "To be Christlike" taken from book of Luke, and also a lot of other Scriptures, untill some of the point I can't catch the Scripture reference. The church very much into Word of God, backed up with Biblical Scripture. Christlikeness, to be like Christ, strong Word. Hindrances- a lot: Discouragement, Fear, Imaginary Minds, World pleasure. I can identify. That show much much we need God, how much we need His Word, how much we need to keep close to Him, in our conduct, words and testimony to be the light, to be Christlike. Pr. message is strong- I can see he's a man of God- strict and with Godly principles. Powerful ministering, releasing God's Word of knowledge. He looks strict, I don't have a chance to even say Hi, or thank him for the message- too bad.
Sfter service, went for lunch with Kawai and chruch members, hot weather, get to knoe Nicole- the pinkiest girl, and cute girl. Need to write this down to capture the memories, or else mayb next time don't see will not remember- a girl that likes Seven-11. After lunch went back church. Hot weather. Have some chat with Kawai and play with the guitar, nice to play. Had been a while since the last time I played in CG, tipu tipu chords. Kawai keep asking me to play- oh dear, very paisey...anyhow manage to start strumming and get a few songs rolling. Enjoy the guitaring session....after this session, I think I got to start make time to practise guitar, no determination. Remember how I spend time in my room back in Pekaka, to pick few worship songs and play- now no more, lost the passion. Sigh! 3.30pm manage to check in in KL Sentral, thank God. Thank Kawai for fetching me to KL Sentral. Tiring trip yet well-spent- getting to know a fren, a small nice church with wonderful people that passionate for God at least encourage my heart to go on. Pr. messange always a challenge, and repentance is not just repentance, but to get out of it, turn away from it, and transform. A challenge, and prayerfully a transformation and breakthrough for my spiritual life.
Reached home so tired, mum back about 9pm, give a bad news- aunt got liver cancer. Reminded me on how daddy struggle thru' the time to fight cancer. A thoughts, O Lord...so many cancers, so many relatives passed away without knowing God- what am I doing at this time? Sms sister about this, she said we got to press on praying- to pray, what else can we do? To pray and do our part when God open opportunity to share of His good news. Watched FlyWheel, touching. Real life story, very practical, down to earth, should be viewed by all. Prayers make a difference. P>U>S>H Push untill something happen. Pray and have faith in God, He will definitely lead us through if we do not loose heart. Intergrity as Christian, in the sinful word, how are we shinning? How are we shinning and standing in Christlikeness? Move towards that, work on our salvation with fear and trembling. God help us!
12am Devotion- Sleep ever so soundly, Monday will definitely will be a great day! Amen! Thank you Lord!
