ZM0105 My Birthday Wishlist This Year

In the blink of an eye (yea, one eye only), one year passed! (Blink two eyes then two years loh)

Man, I still remember my birthday wishlist last year.

This year however, things changed. I guess as you grow, you desire different things. Things that may only happen in our imaginary world such as...

-HAVING 25 HOURS PER DAY. Fine, make it 30.

-Have more time to spend at home. Nothing can fathom the sweetness and comfortableness (does this word even exist?!) you have back at home. But... you don't grow when you're always in your comfort zone.

Wah! Uncomfortable!

-Borned with a silver spoon in my mouth. Metaphorically. Well, if you don't earn it, you won't appreciate it. =)

Other than that, others are somewhat achievable.

-To have tremendous wisdom of God [Ask and you shall receive! Tactfulness of words!]

-To have stronger walk with God

-To have more determination [No more procrastination!]

-To love [Not only be loved!]

-To give more [Not only to receive!]

-To have more faith [Fear not!]

-To make history [Not to sit around and wait for things to happen]

Apart from this....the more external stuff....

-To grow IK UTM to 200 solid members.

This is not all! We need a complete N3 picture wey!

-N3 to grow, keep growing and multiply!

Z'ng!

-To own a fashion label [May take a while for this to happen, but nothing is impossible with God!]

Shu-weeet!

-To have somewhat close who shares the same faith and passion. [Ok fine, I mean girlfriend]

Just like Brother Poh!

-To be a more annointed and skillful praise & worship leader.

Ha! Cash as toilet roll. A bit too much ah! Lol

-More financial freedom! [Someone please hire me as a freelance fashion designer! No sewing please!]

If you can see it, you can have it

-To have a car to drive around in and out of campus. [Singapore!]

-A pair of a cool looking flip flops. My Ipanema broke during RECODED. =(

-A Crumpler! =) My Nike school bag is all torn up.

More to come! LOL.

ZM0104 Code Red 2 : RECODED?

RECODED 2009 - CK Zone : The camp that made history!

I am delighted to be part of RECODED! It was amazing to see how the camp turned out to be a huge success!

I have to admit I felt like a minority because the camp was held in Singapore and I'm obviously a Malaysian. Haha! However, that didn't stop us from offering help.

The camp commandants :

Adrian Liew (City Harvest Outreach Johor P.I.C)

Super proud of Adrian!

Ho Kee Liang

He really treated us (the Johoreans) really well. Awesome dude.

These guys really made the camp came to past. A round of applause, people!

During the camp we had several speakers : Daniel Ong, who taught us about the Heart Revolution.

H - Humility
E - Enthusiastic and Expression
A - Affection and Anticipation
R - Revelation
T - Trust

Evelyn Fong, who delivered a powerful message on the title 'If you lose your saltiness, how will others taste Godliness?'.

Quoting Evelyn, "God gives us resources to live on, not to live for".

Next our very own...

Dev Menon, who showed us how to be practical in getting the people excited for the things of God.

Not forgetting,

My rocker pastor - Pastor Chee Kiang. It was phenomenal when pastor decided to move in the spirit and the 200+ campers felt the strong presence of God.

And the Johoreans who were also there to help out:

Eric Ng, Brendan Jawan and Krissie Chin were part of vocalist team.

Bertrand Lee, Chin Ping, and Leo helped out with the multimedia and video announcements.Top left : Yin, Michelle Lee, Krissie Chin

During the camp, the creativity of the Singapore team hit the skies by using 2010 lightsticks to break the Singapore Book of Records to celebrate Olympics 2010. Bravo to you guys!

Other than that, the invention of Floorball with brooms!

The video trailer still gives me the creeps man, kudos to the multimedia team!

Overall, I think everybody had a whole lot of fun including the leaders!

Thank you, RECODED 2009

Till next post...

Signing off,

ZM0103 Da Weekend

[Some links may not work out well for this particular post]

The past weekend was really quite enjoyable + relaxing.

Let me begin with Friday.

Friday night was a tiring night! Me and 7 of my friends went for a round of badminton from 11pm til 1am. Right after, we went for supper. For me, it was all good. Food - good. For them, food - not so good. *cough cough* Calories! Hahaha! It feels good to exercise!

THE PEOPLE includes :

Kelly Teng
Pit Khee & the younger brother
Wooi Szen
Nicholas
Kin Wai
Cheok Hoong
..and your's truly.

Biggest surprise of the day :
Pit Khee's brother - Kar Fatt plays badminton like a pro. Kudos to him.

Saturday was another crazy day where Nicholas decided to cook us a meal at Wooi Szen's place.! Yums! But not just him, Pit Khee did apple strudder for us too! Ok la ok la, Kin Wai did omelet.

"There goes my kitchen."

Apple Strudder with Vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

Not forgetting, Nic's Carbonara.

Nic is also our main chef. He learned culinary arts before, thus the delicious pasta. Oh, so heavenly.

During preparation, i did this!

This is the proof that I've done something that was useful. Awesome yokes, right?

And here's the food that WE prepared. All so yummy! We were literally starving until the food was served. After the food was served, we were so full we literally wanted to puke.

Here's us tried to pull off some stunts on Kin Wai. He wanted to take the apple strudder without the ice cream. Nobody does that! It's against the Food Commandments.

After food, we decided to play Monopoly! It's been ages since I touched this game! We didn't have a lot of fun because Tak Wai was winning all the wayyyyyyyyy. *Squint*

THE PEOPLE INCLUDES :

Same bunch for badminton + Yun Yuan (Cheok Hoong's girlfriend) + Pamela (Kin Wai's girlfriend) + Tak Wai & Pui Wen (http://pwendawannabe.blogspot.com). Oh, so romantic!

Biggest surprise of the day :
Kin Wai can COOK!!!! *Jaw dropped*

Day ended at 1am too. Next day was Sunday! Where I had to go to church early in the morning and head to Genting.

So, here's the Sunday report.

Sunday started with attending City Harvest KL (http://chc.org.my) service with Pastor Andrew Gray who delivered a powerful, life-changing message on prayer. It totally changed my perspective of how I look at prayer now! Awesome.

Next, we rushed off to Genting Highlands to attend Wan Chean's (http://0n3chean.blogspot.com) MINI concert but when the crowd arrived, we realized it wasn't so MINI after all. LOL. Since I know Baldwin (http://baldwinchua.blogspot.com), who's the elder brother of Leonard Chua (http://wire-up.blogspot.com), whose girlfriend is Adeline Chin, who's a goodfriend of Wan Chean. Thus the free VIP tickets. Cut the long story short, I'm now a friend of Wan Chean. Haha!
The concert wasn't solely performed by Wan Chean alone. There were also performances by...erm...
...and...erm...
...and...errrrr....

...and... Okay, this one I know. Ayandha Zhang from Kuching that just got back from Beijing. And you wanna know why I know? Cause' I spoke to her personally. Hahaha. Ayandha Zhang and Jon

Don't look at my eye bags. Look at her. Pweetie, right?

And here's WAN CHEAN! Our superstar!

Right after the concert, Leonard got us free hot chocolates courtesy of Eric - Event executive manager of Genting Highlands. Here's our hot chocolate model - Adeline Chin, first runner-up for Miss Emerge 2008.

And here's us - posing for the camera in the concert hall while everyone of Wan Chean's fans were queuing up for her autograph. Slumber.

THE PEOPLE includes :
From right> Baldwin, Adeline, Leonard, Adalia, Jon.

Biggest surprise of the day:
Dancers for Wan Chean's concert are old! With tummy - wiggling! Wan Chean, time to get better looking dancers... Haha!

That's all for the weekend. Back to JB on Wednesday for Singapore Camp.

I'm also on Twitter! So should you! ;-) http://twitter.com/jonwzm

ZM0102 Of Books and Holidays

Hey guys! Sorry for not updating! Today Baldwin was just telling me that my posts lately are always 1 post for that particular one month. Haha!

Now I'm on holiday. For a month.

Been busy with a lot of blogging actually! I was creating web pages with Blogger. That's right! I know I wasn't supposed to, but I did. LOL. Pretty fun stuff. Do check out Prince & Princess : High School Edition to have a look at what I've done. Please do give me some feedback as well while you're at it.

Meanwhile, my sis passed me some awesome empowerment books and they are...

John & Stasi Eldredge's "Wild at Heart" and "Captivating" in one volume.

And also, Erik Rees' S.H.A.P.E.

Two weeks ago, my handphone got stolen while I was asleep. ASLEEP! The "kind" theif left me with my pathetic SIM card and off he went with my K810i. Sigh. So anyway, I've gotten myself a brand new phone.

E63

The best phone I've used so far. But not the most expensive, bought my K810i for 1.5k MYR two years ago. If I were to trade in that stolen phone, it would have been half of that price. Handphone prices depreciate like crazy once you purchase it. As what David Oh mentioned, these are liabilities. Oh well, handphone is a necessity. Can't live without it. Okay, exaggerated. Can live without it, just don't want to live without it. =)

I've noticed 2 major flaws about this phone so far.

One, the earphone jack.

*Picture taken off the internet. My hand is not so...chubby and my phone's blue.

When you unplug the jack cover, you literally unplug it from the phone! There are no attachments. And it's like this mini thingy that rolls around. Once you lose it, you lose it. Forever. I need an iPod shuffle. Birthday coming! Lol.

Two, the GPS.

The GPS takes forever to load. I tried it while I was in the car with Baldwin heading up to K.L. for church this morning. We on both our GPS at the same time (Baldwin uses a 5800 Express Music), his load within 1/2 second. Mine took...like...probably...15minutes (or more - no pun intended). If I do get lost and by the time my GPS finishes loading, I most probably already found my own way out.

And I just attended a wedding. Congratulations again Kok Hon and Boon Ping. You guys make a very good married couple.

Jon, Kok Hon, Boon Ping, and Kim.

More pictures soon! Waiting for Facebook tags. Lol.

Alright, that's all for the post this time. Shall update again, hopefully soon. Have a great day ahead!

Next post will be about my internship interview last Wednesday. Some insights for you to uncover.

p/s: I update Twitter more often than I do here at my blog! Follow me!

Good day!

Updates!!!!!!

[top]Elizabeth Chia, Pastor Chee Kiang, Ai Mei, Alvin Nichol, [bottom]Bertrand Lee, Jonathan Wong.

Guys! I'm back! For good! (I think)

So anyway! I will list down the updates below so it won't be messy and too tedious for my brain. I like to be a bit more systematic now. =)

Update #1 :

I just downloaded the entire latest project from C3 (Christian City Church) Worship's website. Awesome songs! Especially 'Help Me'. I know other churches have been singing this song for the passed few months, but oh well.......*awkward pause*..........AWESOME SONG!

Update #2 :

I have successfully revolutionalized the entire CHOJ Worship Team's blog. Pretty solid stuff. Got hold of a mediocre template from Blogskin.com and started modifying the HTML codes. 'Trial and error' was my best friend during that period.

The day I finished my finals which was on Wednesday, I just spent like 4 hours from 12am and did the skin. Very satisfied with it. I shall keep updating it with more features and make it look more professional. ;-)

Update #3 :

3 weeks of survey camp starts next Monday. Oh man, I'm dreading! However, I shall stay positive and objective about it. It's going to be good.. it's going to be good........ Will be spending a few days in KL during the camp too but through out, I will be in UTM. People from church, you will still see me in church in May.

Update #4 :

Final exam! I think I did not too bad. There were times where I studied and prayed really hard for God to show me which part to read, and He shows me (talk about faithfulness!), but I fail to obey! Smart Jon, smart....... God must be smiling to Himself thinking 'I hate to tell you "I tolja", but I tolja'. Funny how these experiences are. God is still good!

Update #5 :

The protein shake that I have been having since December (if I'm not wrong), is still half-full! Me - Lazy! No work out! LOL. I know, I know. I'm thin. I will try my bestttttttttt!!!!!!!! Not easy but not impossible!! Gambateh! No pain, no gain!

Update #6 :

I've reserved a room in campus through the online application where there's bathroom attached! Awesome. But I pay extra. By a lot! Wu wu wu. Anyhow! Personal space. That's good! Quiet time in the toilet. Anybody experienced that before? No, right?! Har! Har!

Update #7 :

Twitter gets me updated on what Oprah Winfrey, Ryan Seacrest, Joyce Meyer, Pastor Phil Pringle, Pastor Kong, Darlene Zschech, Joel Houston, Sidney Mohede, Bobbie Houston, Brian Houston, Lance Armstrong, Brooke Fraser, John Bevere and many other individuals who does great things for the Lord. I'm their follower on Twitter!

Update #8 :

I'm starting to dislike the Facebook newsfeed on the quizes that people are doing! C'mon!!!

Update #9 :

I will most likely be working in KL during the month of June as a fashion designer intern. Interesting! Can't wait. God is real.

Update #10 :

Downloading the latest episode of Ugly Betty Season 3. Undeniable the best drama I've watched so far. Or rather, the only drama I've been watching. Hahahaha! Man, I need to get myself some Prison Break series. But maybe not so soon. I have the resources, I'm a resourceful person. I love to believe I'm one. Haha!

Update #11 :

Ok. I've to come up with a solid plan for IK's mission trip and hit the JB high schools like a wave and spread out like a Bushfire®! Woopie.

Update #12 :

If you have a friend/relative/neighbour's kid who is (are) enrolling into UTM, please do let me know! We will invite him/her for our welcoming night event. It's going to be phenomenal!

Update #13 :

It's great fun teaching the choir members in church! Since it's new, there are more things to twig. But we're ready! The choir will be up this weekend! Hallelujah! Atmosphere's going to be great. Pictures will be up in no time.

Update #14 :

Busy busy busy! That's a good thing. By the way, do check out Pastor Phil Pringle's blog. It will blow your mind, it blew mine. And all he does is scribbling. You're going to enjoy reading them. It will change the way you think - and the way you live your life.

Update #15 :

And if you noticed from the picture above, I cut my hair short. And it's even shorter now! Hahaha. There are so many people who has complained that it's way too short and it doesn't suit me. Oh well, my hair grows - just gotta wait another few more weeks, definitely less than 12 months. Haha.

Alright, more updates next post! Cya! Love ya'll!
