1ST Combined Christian Camp 2008


So,here I am...supposedly being "History-Makers" in the 1st ever COMBINED SCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CAMP...in short CCC.The theme is "To Know Him and to make Him Known",which is a lot more better than the previous theme.I was the assistant to the camp photographer,Leng Kabian.Sometimes it's camera snapping or video shooting..so basically what I was doing is media recording..

The dorm I was assigned was Dorm A,and I can assure you it's the most fun!!(Too bad there's no award for it).We have our very own "Entertainer" a.k.a Po Guo Zhi.In the dorm we do lot's of things like joke around,play Blackjack,Po Guo Zhi doing his karaoke session(some of his songs are Smack That,SexyBack,Bleeding Love).If someone can help me convert the recorded file of his singing please help me!


(The Entertainer)

Some more pics:


My team is the Green Team(a.k.a. Slimy Frogs).Don't ask me how we get the name,because I really don't know!Anyone our leader is Toh Sher Lynn whom I met in a scrabble competition and Benedict,the "drummer" for PFS CF.Anyway one of the most fun part is that we get to perli Yan Min and Isaac for a sketch.I told them about a sketch from the scout 25th anniversary dinner.For those you seen the sketch you should know what I was talking about ;). I was the pastor for the sketch and well I had fun playing the part XD.Hopefully I get a video of my part,send it to an audition in Tinseltown and maybe be a superstar! Some treasure pictures of the Slimy Frogs:



(The proposal..ahem XD)

Ok...I think it's about time I give a summary of the events on each day..

1st Day:

Ok,it's the first day(obviously..).I was kinda late..but arrived just on time for the 1st event..worship.I mean...everytime there's something there's bound to have a worship service.No complains on that..

After that we headed for the workshops.So our team's workshop of the day is guitar lessons.(pictures will be uploaded soon).The facilitator taught us some simple cords,but I did not bring a guitar since I'm not that interested.XD It's also here that we get to know our teammates a lot more better.

The games of the day I building a sand monument..but I wasn't there since I was in charge of recording...our team made a pyramid but surely the funniest is the yellow team(DIGI after the big fat yellow guy..)They placed a model and put sand all over him to make him look like a Digi man.(talk about God making Adam from the earth!)Again..more pictures soon to be uploaded..

After that was...our time to bathe..nothing much lah..then it was dinner time.Ok..to make it simple..all our meals from the 1st day till last day is basically home-cook food..like what your mother cook for you at home.So..after that was the sharing from Pastor Chai Bee(I think that's her name).She tells us about her experience before and when she accepted Christ.Her sharing was really fun!

At the dorm..our dorm mates joke around and we basically talk about everything..from school to shuffling...We also do our devotion during that time too.

2nd Day:
I'll skip to the sermon.His name is Wilson Ooi and according to some people he is a soon-to-be youth pastor in PCC(Penang Christian Center).Anyway he talked about Gideon..a nobody who became a somebody when he saved Israel from neighboring countries invasion.

After that was...workshops.Like yesterday we were doing photographing and video shooting.This time Kabian let me and Jonathan take over.I took the camera while Jonathan takes the video.My team's first workshop is studying the book of Daniel.I help my team for a while and our next workshop is truths about the mandarin words.This workshop is really quite interesting as Mrs Diane(Mr. Michael Choong's wife)taught us about Mandarin and also told us some interesting facts(Mandarin is the only ideogramic words in use today).

I said before...pictures will uploaded ASAP!

Next..we were doing games!!I was the video shooter and if you're wondering where's the video and pics...it will be uploaded okay?!!Anyway if I can recall the 1st thing they did was water passing.(It would be better if you see the video to know how to play.)

Next.. "taking-rubber-bands-from-a-bowl-of-flour-with-your-toohpick-in-your-mouth-and-pass-to-your-
teamate-opposite".Don't get it?View the video(since hasn't been uploaded yet..)

After that was Captain Ball!!Sorry cause the video camera ran out of battery and I can't take anymore shots..at least I get to play.
However..Slimy Frogs lost all 2 games!!No comments here...But at least we did our best.:D
Then..I played a little bit of football with some friends...and Mr.Michael Choong!!!I can't belive it actually play soccer...let alone well!!He really knows how to dribble and his shots doesn't fly to mars that's for sure!


(I really look ridiculous in it..)

After the hoo-haa and when we wash up..it was masquerade night...although all the hype that surrounded the event was alot..it wasn't much.What we basically did was play a simple game...kinda stupid actually...cause how can we know another person's name when we don't really know,let alone wearing a mask!

Then it was time for a presentation from all the groups.I will tell you about ours only :D
This sketch is credited to 39 G.T(S) since they created it,we just add some Chirstian Values into it that's all..

So here it goes..(according to the sketch)
We introduced the antoganist,Ben Presly who is a famous superstar.The scene was there was a concert and he has a band.The girls all go crazy(even his soon-to-be wife).The song they played was "Can't Take My Eyes of You".They qctually performed it quite well for something impromptu.

After that,the good guy(John) told his best friend that he is a good friend of the girl(the soon-too be wife)named pearly.(How we get that name only god knows..)So..he invited her to chat in a kopitiam(pathetic i know =.=).There..he wanted to propose to her,then suddenly the pop star came out with his band and drive him out.He then take pearly back.

So...John prayed to god to have courage to get his love of his life back(I think..)and he did..

So,at the wedding..I was the pastor and well..you have a simple play of what a wedding would have happened.Even Pearly's "parents" have to excort her down the aisle.Then,I need to recite the marriage vow for them blah blahblah..altough Ben Presly was really in a hurry so I skipped alot(according to the script).Then when he was about to kiss the girl...John suddenly came out and say NOOOOO!!!!and push ben away.There,he exposed that Ben married Pearly because of money.The parents were very angry and kinda toss him away...so..how pearly has a new husband I need to recite the thing all over again...=.=

After that I was needed to stop them from kiss since there "were kids there who don't understand what is happening".So here's what I said(if I still remember..)

"Okay,I know you all really want to see the kiss scene,but there are many little children here that still don't understand what's happening.Okay,here's what I want you to do,when you go back to your home,go to YouTube,type in the link.You can get the link from the lovely couple over there(Pearly & John).
After you have the link..please see the video without your parents knowing alright?I don't you to get into trouble.But if your parents find out,PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT YOU GOT THE LINK FROM ME!"The last I need is a lecture from 80 people's parents!!(doing the begging pose)"

So here's the moral of the story..
1.Good people will triumph over evil..
2.You must ask guidance from god for you partner in life..since she/he will spend the rest of your life till death.
3.For those parents who have sons and daughters who will marry soon,let's them have say..prearranged marriage don't always go well.

The End...for the 2nd day of course!

3rd Day!!last day too..:'(

It's the last day of the camp.So the 1st main event of the day was another sermon from Wilson Ooi.This time he talked about Mary(mother of Jesus).Basicallly the sermon was about how we may accept God's calling..it's doesn't mean it will be a highway all the long.There will be bumps and hiccups along the way,some may be serious.But if we finish the race we will be rewarded :D

The workshop started soon enough..but before that was a camp photo.The picture is will be uploaded once I get it.:D
Our team's workshop is defending the word of god.I certainly learned alot of things..although it RAINED HEAVILY!!


(Do not mistake this for a lake...)

(here's why..)

After that was prize giving..(pictures will be uploaded soon enough)All I remember is the appreciation token given to all the advisor's and facilitators.The winning team is RedTeam(RedHawk)they beaten all of us by quite a margin.We got 3rd but at least we did not get last :P

After that it's was the end.Many people took emails and contact and snap photos like camera's will be banned soon =.=..


(Hamid Khan girls..I think they took the most pictures..)



(Vivien..Yan Min a.k.a. Pearly and Sher Lynn)

(me blurring..)
When I arrived back,I was freaking tired.(Although I did used the computer for quite some time.Overall the camp was quite sucessful and it was quite fun.Hope there's one next year!

THE END!!

MYSC Scrabble 2008


We finally made it!After weeks of negotiation...we(Kabian,Jonathan & me)were able to go to KL.Cik Furziah is our teacher advisor and she really help us in the planning of the trip.We really were eager to see our Pahang friends(Qian Wen & Adele) whom we met a year ago.Chee Ming also joined in and his mother help us by finding hotel.


We left Penang at 6 am then from there we have a marathon trip,to sum it all up it was a smooth journey.I even get to have a glimpse of a Lamborghini Murcielago on the road!!!The sound of the engine was really terrifying and it really ignited my sense!!!It's the 1st time I see a Lamborghini!!!After that we reached Times Square at 10.30...we were quite late for our 1st game so we got a -50 time penalty.More of the games in the next paragraph..

Game 1:
Like I said,I had a -50 penalty..but I won.WHAT??That is really something unbelievable..lol...a lot of the players near my board really admire my victory since it is something nearly impossible to do.I believe that I was good,but I have to admit that was a lucky game...you will see why...
W:1 D:0 L:0/Spread:5/Cum.Spread:5

Game 2:
I met my opponent from the state competition.Nitya,she is from CGL.The last time I met her I beat her with a comfortable margin,now the table has been turned..it's her to turn to "pwnd" me...
W:1 D:0 L:1/Spread:-59/Cum.Spread:-54

Game 3:
This is where I got "first blood" right from the beginning...somehow I must meet this guy..it's like I(Reading)meeting Chelsea right at the start of the EPL....WTF???Naturally I lost to this guy...BIG TIME!!!(p.s. I really was annoyed that that constant blinking of his eyes..it wasn't intentionally but still...)
W:1 D:0 L:2/Spread:-288/Cum.Spread:-342

Game 4:
Now I face this girl from Ipoh.Did not remember much of the game,not a memorable one...I lost.
W:1 D:0 L:3/Spread:-130/Cum.Spread:-472

Game 5:
Finally a victory.The name of the opponent is Tan Seah Whye.It was a good game,nothing more...
W:2 D:0 L:3/Spread:35/Cum.Spread:-437

Game 6:
This is an interesting game,interesting in the sense that we challenge alot,ALOT.He still win,but I did not expect a victory in the 1st place.He is quite good.Our board is really a heck of a kind.Many new words(most of it are wrong)came out on the board and trips to the computer are frequent.
W:2 D:0 L:4/Spread:-138/Cum.Spread:-575
This doesn't look good.Really...this competition is really hard...either I am really that bad or I faced really though opponents..I'm guessing both..trying to be neutral here.

After that ordeal,we rushed back to our hotel to get a quick shower and then meet up with them.
Suprisingly...it is quite a good hotel,a good alternative to Royale Bintang.

(Lookout from our hotel,isn't it nice?)

(Qian Wen taking a picture of Ethan)
After a quick shower,we headed back to Berjaya Times Square and meet up with them.They alsong along some of their friends that they meet in the competition too.We headed to Sushi King to have our dinner(expect for Kabian & Chee Ming who headed somewhere else for a "cheaper" alternative and went bowling.

(Me & Qian Wen)
Then,we went well...shopping?We just walk around and well,idling while the girls went window shooping..although some of them did buy some things..(where did they get the money??)All I treated to myself is a new Top Gear magazine & a cool Man.United shirt.Well,Qian Wen had to leave early,so we walk around with Adele and her friends.


(Kabian & Jonathan fooling around...)

After that,Cik Furziah take us for a stroll around KL and my word,it is really nice with all the life of KL is still evident even after daylight.
We went back to the hotel,but I decided to stay in the hotel when they wanted to go buy coffee.When they were away I get to watch Epic Movie,quite a nice parody..but there are better ones.We also get to watch She's the Man on TV.After that,we sleep and day 2 is here...

DAY 2:
Day 2(or shall I say final) is here...we had our breakfast in the hotel lobby and we put our luggage in Cik Furziah's car.After that we head to the scrabble tournoment(again...)

Game 7:
I met Kabian's opponent in the state competition.Kabian says she really had some "time management problems"(as in scrabble of course)and he is right.She got a time overrun penalty but that actually wasn't necessary for me to beat her.I got a 168 spread over her.
W:3 D:0 L:4/Spread:168/Cum.Spread:-407

Game 8:
I pawned this guy so bad the devil wouldn't even let me in to hell!XD just kidding.This was an easy win.This guy really need to read up on his two-letter word list because that is his Achilles Heel.Could this be a start of a winning streak?
W:4 Draw:0 L:4/Spread:215/Cum.Spread:-192

Game 9:
It isnt' my winning streak after all.Now this is a female opponent marathon..This is the 1st of the 3 girls I'm gonna play with and..2 of them are from SGGS.lol...Although they are u-15 but my o my...they are really that good.SGGS are quite good in scrabble overall..I meet Looi Kay Yoke for this game and well...this is a game that is quite interesting as in challenges are frequent too..
W:4 Draw:0 L:5/Spread:-12/Cum Spread:-204

Game 10:
Again,a SGGS girl..Leong Yan Mei.This is girl is quite a jolly one..but I still lose...I HOPE I WON'T PLAY WITH A SGGS GIRL AGAIN!!!Never!!!But nevertheless it was a good game though..
W:4 D:0 L:6/Spread:-44/Cum Spread:-248

Game 11:
Last and final game...I play with this girl(Charis Koo)who happens to be friends with the other 2 SGGS girl.Oddly enough,4 of us play in the same table in this 3 games..lol..I am 99% sure I lost this game because of bad tiles..really...she placed a QATS on a triple word combo!!and from there I am screwed...

FINAL SCORE:
W:4 D:0 L:7/Cum Spread:-357

My goodness...am I that bad??Looks like I need to train up alot!!
During this 3 games I befriended those girls and well,it was fun talking with them.Sadly,I have to say goodbye to Qian Wen and Adele already...


(Me,Kabian,Jonathan,Chee Meng & Ethan)


(Adele & Qian Wen)


(Jon & Me)


(Group Photo!!)

I hope that photo will not be last one we take together....time we had in KL was really short...too short..hope I can go to KL for the competition next year.(Hopefully they can come too..)Nevertheless it was fun and I'm sure they had fun too!

Oh yeah,remember the Top Gear Magazine & Man.Utd shirt I bought??This is it:


(The new Lamborghini Gallardo...isn't it sub-zero??)


(My new shirt..I really like the design..and the price!)

IT'S NOT THE END YET!!

Friday, May 23, 2008

Yes Ah!!!

Woohoo!!After days of appealing,we managed to register for the MYSC scrabble championship!!!This is really a miracle from god!!I also will thank Ms.Furziah for her sacrifice for us in helping us register and we will be confident to bring something back!!!

I couldn't care any more...

By the time you have read this post,the SMK Hamid Khan team...who got 2nd in the penang qualifiers,has been disallowed to take part in the nationals for some reasons that I think will be as convincing as Pooh Bear saying he has taken many gym lessons.

I don't know what to you,they say it was costly to send us to KL.Well,I look at a report that was printed for countless people and they spent RM1000 for a music society band.And guess what,they never even taken part in any competitions!!

Also,they say that for 3 years they send a scrabble team there and they won't nothing.Well,how about our Volleyball team and Football team?The so called "pet project" of the school looks like it has been caged up and.....this years competition was disastrous.They never even qualify for regions.

And the third thing is...wait there isn't!!!I don't know what he has gotten any more words to say but nevertheless,I couldn't care any more.But even if I defected,she can propagate anyone and take over us.Anyway,let God show us the way,cause right now I'm lost.

SO MUCH FOR SMK HAMID KHAN'S VISION TO BE "SEKOLAH CEMERLANG" BY 2010!

The End

My super "sweet" 16...

I don't know about "sweet" lah,but nevertheless it was a great celebration...

So,on 1/5/2008,I organized an outing,(no pictures though,sry,having too much fun to bother taking)It was held in Queensbay and many ppl came including Li Ji,Yun Jie,Wai Yin,Jo Yee,Liang Fu and Adrian Hong.Saik Ian joined in later.

I reached Queensbay at 11.pm so it was kinda boring,then Li Ji came.So,we went skating for a while until Adrian Hong came..but he.....well....let me put it in a nicer way....he...***king came 1 hour late!He said he will arrive at 11.30...but on came at 12.30.......ahh...what the heck?At least his here...

We went to Manhattan Fish Market for lunch(Yun Jie recommended it)and all I can say is that Li Ji's pocket just got a very huge hole!XD

After that,we went walking until the main highlight of the day,IronMan!!!Image:Ironmanposter.JPG

I booked tickets on the previous day,so the good seats were in my wallets...literally...one hiccup came by,we forgot about Liang Fu!!He was buying something when we went in....it was quite embarrassing....for him and me!!

At least the show was good,Robert Downey Jr. really is THE actor for this role.He really protrayed Tony Stark as an asshole that we could laugh at..lol...and he gets to drive an AudiR8!!!!What an @sshole!!a lucky one....
His suit is also very nice to look at,I like how the metal shines(although not for long)and the colour scheme is not only similar but also a lot better!!

So,I got a few presents fromWai Yin,Yun Jie,Saik Ian and Wei Lun.

This is what Wai Yin& Yun Jie gave me:


(a EX wallet!I like the design and colour)

This is what Saik Ian gave me:



(Now this can be handy!:D)

Last but not least Wei Lun:


What??A lollipop??Seriously....but I kinda like the flavor...it's grape,not too sweet and not too boring.Nevertheless...guess why he bought it?Find it out yourself!
