Proud to present the Stillpoint dance theater ... a part of Every Nation! yay! heheheh...come back next year!

We took them to Assam House for lunch and let them walk in IOI Mall before heading to check mail in church.
Ps Sharon was having problem breathing cos of asthmatic attacks since arriving in KL so i send her and Pamela back to the hotel while the rest charged into Petaling St for shopping. I stayed at the hotel and had a long chat with Ps Sharon, asking her many questions (tho didnt finish, still got 4 ques didnt get to ask.. hehhe..) When everyone came back, we had dinner together to celebrate Pamela's belated birthday! these crazy bunch of ppl are real funnee and crazee and ridiculously funny and crazy! ehehhe... if u know what i mean, they would fit in a conversation with Neil, Daniel and Vince together. I laffed too much the whole nite...

I hope the plans with Ps Tim to do something next year will work out then we can really try to bless the community in some ways through dance and make it an outreach! yay! alrito!

thank you!

Thank yous to some of the people from the conference...Rev Karen Liew, CDFM Coordinator, she's actually a passionate woman. the way she tok, the way she relate, it's all passionate communication. She actually looks like my discipline teacher in high school (even the hairstyle!), so i was pretty afraid of her since the beginning but then of course i found her sense of humor! hehehehe... thanks to her, we had such a big international event that blessed us!

Next to her is Madam Surianty Liu. She is a gem! She made all our jaws dropped! ! hehehe.... when she dance, your jaw will drop too! hehehehe.... sharp and very very cheeky! ehehhe.... makes you just wanna love this dear lady! thanks to her, we learnt that we can dance from 7 to 70! hehehe... Attended one of Michael Voon's class! he is superbly crazy in the way he do things! hehehee...it's really trans-cultural dance.. thanks to him, we learnt that anything put together also can make a dance out of it with any song! some of us did a hindi+chinese+malay cultural steps in a reggae song! hehe...
Next to him is Joel Tan! Their team just won the breakdance battle and representing south east asia to competition in thailand next month! ehehehe... congrats to him and team! oh he also choreograph our black and white dance to the song 'who's in the house' and also we were taking classes from urban. but stopped for a while since the many performances we had in the church. maybe continue next month. thanks to him. we had had a good time in class.

Last but not least, all the committee members that'd put in a lot of effort and help and sacrifices.... bear-hug beatrice, stable sara, jolly jennifer, dabble douglas, christinas and among many others who'd put in their efforts... you guys are the best! hugs! double hugs!!
*we did posed for a pic with beatrice n christina then the camera went out of batt!*

CDFM: Wow in Genting!!

Arrival Day: Extreme cold and misty! Cant even see in front of us! Look at the amount of food we bought at Tesco... hehehe... tok abt eating!! but it was all gone. heheh... isn't nailin CUTE!!!??? neway, we went in 'nicky'. had to pull hard for the canvas to close.
Opening Nite Performance: All made up. Black and White for the Hip Hop and red n jeans for 'great day'. the great day dance was a disaster. it was worse than 'ok' it was horribly in errors cos not enuf practices so everyone made mistakes many times on stage. sigh.....
the extreme right pix is yc with uncle button! she's crazy over him! dun ask me why. hehehe... maybe it's a 'growing up' issue! hehehehehehehehehe...... but he's real good. use clowing as a means of sharing love and gospel. i've not seen it before him. anyone needs a clown, please call him up and you'll be surprised! (http://unclebutton.tripod.com/)
Dance Village: What can i say? except.... YOU POSERS!!! hehehe.... we were waiting for the show to start.
Dance Village is a half hour concert the faculties or different nations put together to perform at the stage in the middle of First World's indoor park. we were one of the thots to perform but then our song got 'jesus' and 'god' words so we can't. this made me think that we shud redo 'more to life' to be able to really make it an outreach!
Well, ok, we were posing not just at dance village, practically everywhere and everything! hehehe... while waiting in queue, while waiting for those waiting in queue, when there's umbrella and fake coconuts and also the 'boyband walk' in the parking lot!!!! hehehehe....International Nite: YEAH! this is the NITE that the Lord has made! we performed! but sorry, guys, no performance pixs cos they got official photographer so not let us take pix. but the 1st pic is us rehearsing while waiting for our stage time. practising in a circle. hehee... here comes the group pictures then the fans club - ahhahaha.... the dance team chipped in together to get pastor and family's tickets, kevin+nancy + Sophia+Serena+Samantha went to support us also, also kat, lau n annie were there (they had to rush back to work so not in the pic). I was real happy and encouraged! cos it felt that our family was there to cheer us on!! hehehehe.... i like the last pic - we each have some kind of gloves...hehheh.... yay! ecf!!

Honestly speaking, i dunno whether we did well or not, but i know i am very proud and encouraged by my team and we were in one accord and in the right spirit and went all out for the performance. Rev Karen was ok with it, i mean we rep malaysia, so if it's fine with her, it's fine with me! hehehe... maybe we brought culture shock to the 'older' ppl there but then it's good to shock them rite? that's the element of surprise! hehehe...but rev karen is so funny, she say, 'i recommend wan, sure got standard' so we didnt even go thru audtion fr corrinne. hehehe....it's really god's blessings, as i submitted the dance just for exposure for the team and we ended up representing malaysia. thank god for enlarging our world and also our talents.

after that we summore got invitations to bless other places! hehehe... we are really not there yet in skill so i guess we are not going out for now, but i still feel real happy.. south africa pastor warren really encouraged us the next day and challenged us to continue reaching the youth in what we do!

oh, ya, must tell you that Chris and Ina boldly took the durian bombs but Pri, sigh... she wasnt as bold and threw it away before we all woke up! hehehehe.... part of team building is torturing them with durians! hehehe.... we had a lot of fun!
Community Dance Nite: This is thursday nite, everyone came together for many group dances. this was two of them. it was real funny, doing south africa group dance, jewish group dance and some other group dances... oh yah, must mention, the last pix is nailin and her new found good friend - 'killer eyes' from philippines! hehhehe... dun tell her i i tell u!
What a team:
during the day, i heard about so many christian artists that were misunderstood by the church leaders and were needing reconciliation with their arts and their leaders. i was reflecting on what good leaders we had, they encourages us and open the doors for us to use our talents to worship and to reach other artists!

during the nite, i heard about ppl complaining about the conference and scolding the committee members and rev karen was sharing her heart as there were not enuf ppl in the team to serve together. and the nite kinda ended low but when we reach our apt, we were immediately surprised by our ever supporting and creative team members. the whole morning they were with us and did not leak a single hint of the surprises they had installed for us at the apt. hehehe....

first, we open door and discover the tumbler that was lost the day before, then the table with our food nicely arranged. dey even used the uno stacko blocks to arrange an message to us! even tucked in Mr. M (Ina's bear), arranged our shoes, made all the beds, and clean up the rooms! hehehehe.... it was a GREAT encouragement to me personally! thanks, guys! I'm so proud of you and I'm so glad God put me in this church where the leaders AND the team are in ONE ACCORD!What a NOTTI team:
hehehe.... the rice cooker is our source of cooking! guess what's missing - the cable! hehehe...
they left a hint in the toilet ' we love trees' hehehe....
guess we found it after all! hehehe.... (samson say, "dun be so proud, we wanted u guys to find it!")!!!!
15 mins later, look at the table again! hehehehe... sorry guys, old habits die hard!Lifestyle:
Our Source of Entertainment (besides laffing at each other) is crashing the UNO Stacko!
Our Hangout Place - tower 2, 6th floor - daily lunch place! the only hot water supply.. hehehe... nobody caught us or threw us out! hehehehe...
Our Menu - maggi mee! ehhehehehehe..... so cham....
More posers: while chris waited for the girls outside the restroom, we were taking pictures inside! hehehe... vanity mirrors, can't help it. all the workshops dun have mirrors so we resorted to trying it in the toilet! hehehe.... i like the last picture.. hehee.... chris so funny! he's our official yellow food bag carrier. very important person. there was once he got distracted and didnt turn up during lunch time, we dun even have maggi mee to eat! ehhehe...
Self-entertainments: staying together for a week, we somehow needed to make things up to entertain ourselves! ehhehehe..... nailin trying to do contemporary with anna(cheeky one) and elise (smily 19yrs old - she comes from an acrobatic family!!) we were just practising posing, and then we tried to take nailin's shoes off! hehehe.. finally, she fell off the chairs! hehehe... it was great fun!Life-changing workshops: That's Chris with Freddie and next to it is another class with Lucy Parker. Freddie Moore and Corrine (http://crearuach.com/) were two of the teachers that changed our lives and dance. We made Chris go to Freddie's class and it changed his life too. Now, Chris can do moves that are sharp and not ONLY ROUNDED! ehhehehe.... tried so hard to bang into his head for so many months, one class with Freddie and now he's doing it liow! hehehe... it takes a guy to reach a guys! The bottom 2 pixs are our choreography hands on class. we were normal at first, until Corinne (in grey) taught us to distort our moves in dance - then we became distorted! ehhehe.... we gave both of them a 1a.m. album cos they blessed us so much! Guess who's doing slow, contemporary ballet-like dance... ehhehe.... nailin kong! hehehehe... there's also dr pamela's classes (http://www.pamelarutherford.org/) which ina went but i didnt cos too many workshops to choose. but she's always bringing the presence of God with her whenever she ministers on stage!

Ok, you must be wondering how come only our pictures and no other delegates. actually we were not being anti-social but sometimes they took pictures with us in their cameras and didnt send us a copy... hehehhe... we did get to know some ppl from philippines, sweden, australia, south africa and of course, our states team - Stillpoint and Ps Sharon!

it's really a wow week. many dances and mime brought tears to my eyes, because the presence of God was so evident and many were ministered. it was a week of fruitfulness.

on our way down, we prayed all the way, thanking God and for the various ways we can now use our gifts to minister and reach and rally other artists to join us together!

Who am I?

Daniel 10:20 So he said, "Do you know why I have come to you?
In this chapter, the archangel Gabriel came to answer Daniel's prayer to reveal God's plan to him. In fact the angel said in Chap 9:23 that "as soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed." wow.... remember that the next time you pray! =)
Let's get back to Chap 10, the ARCHANGEL was even explaining to Daniel (a mere human) why he was delayed in answering his prayer.. double wow!... but then he ask Daniel this question that stuck to my head for this week, "Do you know why I have come to you?"
Have you ever wonder why of all the millions of people in the world, that's not yet saved, God chose to save you FIRST? over that millions? why? anything special about me? no special talent, not the most obedient child, not much patience for ppl, always scold ppl, take God's grace for granted among many other bad habits....... why me? why still He choose me? why not Hitler? he would turn the world around, why not steven spielberg? he revolve the world around his movies for God! why still me? a nobody?
It's this grace that I can't comprehend and can't help but worship God...
Why would God choose you? You who are reading my blog now?

CASTING CROWN: WHO AM I...

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Chorus:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,(ocean)
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

I am yours.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

my mom

In April, a group of us came together to pray and seek God for His message to His people for Easter. We felt that Christ came to die for the world but was resurrected from death to bring life and hope but many songs in the world seem to magnify the hopelessness of living.

So we, in one accord, agreed that we want to tell everyone that 'there's gotta be more to life' (by Stacie Oricco) than all that you see around you because there's hope in God. We also chose the song 'Always and Forever' (by PlanetShakers) because we have experienced that 'there's nothing better than living for Him'. Jesus Himself promised in John 8:12 that 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life'. It is our hope that this light of life will be brought to you through this performance.

This is one poem I felt describes the Bible... I had it written at the back cover of my (not current) Bible!

Notes on the Art of Poetry by Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)

I could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on
in the world between the covers of books,
such sandstorms and ice blasts of words,
such staggering peace, such enormous laughter,
such and so many blinding bright lights,
spalshing all over the pages
in a million bits and pieces
all of which were words, words, words,
and each of which were alive forever
in its own delight and glory and oddity and light.
