Whoa!

Mix the following:

1. 10,000 christians from various denominations from all over the Klang Valley, and some from other parts of the nation

2. Stadium Melawati

3. A global event

4. A nation that needs to be prayed for

5. History was made

What do you get?

You get the Global Day of Prayer 2010 that was held in Stadium Melawati, where for the first time in history, all the churches in the Klang Valley gathered together to pray for our land, that is the land of Malaysia!

This is the first time I joined such an event. Look at all the people!











We had the usual praise and worship, preaching, testimonies, declarations, and of course, PRAYERS FOR THE COUNTRY.

The best part of the event was, seeing our very own Ps Chew from SIB KL go up on stage to close the event.

HE WAS SO SUPER HYPER!!

"WHOOOOAAAA"

NONE of us from SIB KL have seen him so super hyped up until he was basically shouting till he almost lost his voice. And the excitement that he had!

I quote again, "WHOA!!!"







The next GDOP will be some time around May next year.

Its going to be bigger. A whole lot bigger.

Whoa!

KDU Is Not Cheap

Last Friday was a rather memorable day for most of us in KDU. I will give you two reasons.

One.
We had our very last English class with Ms Hema!

When we started our first semester, we were forced told to take A-Levels English Literature instead of Thinking Skills like our seniors. But after our first class test, we protested. Most of us failed the exam. Including yours truly!

So our kind sponsors allowed us to change English Literature to Academic English, internal class.

Academic English is super boring to the max. One presentation after another. But I rather go through that notion than to take English Literature exams that comes from Cambridge...

Our last assignment was to do a seminar presentation. Nipa, June and I joined forces to present the whole class a seminar on vampires.

Vampires? Twilight craze???

Haha well actually no. I was feeling awfully random when we were brainstorming on ideas, and I came up with History of Vampires. And even Ms Hema approved. So why not right? hehe

I am pretty glad we were the second group to go up there a few weeks ago because she was relatively merciful to the first two groups. Guinea pigs mah. So pressure was on the following groups to perform and not repeat our mistakes.

So yea, we were pretty laid back. We never practised. Haha whatever :P

Vampire people!

Finally, we finished our term, and our last class with the lovely Ms Hema ended with smiling faces.

Two.
We had KDU's first ever award presentation for excellent achievements in A-Levels.

Wheee :)

As long as you managed to bag an A for the November exam last year, then you are totally eligible to receive one of these :

Hi mummy aren't you proud of me? hehehe

The more A's you get, the bigger is the plaque.

I got this one for my A in Physics. FINALLY! Ugh, Cambridge you are seriously playing me. I did not manage to get an A for Chemistry, but I do not really care haha :p

I have to admit, I was quite surprised that KDU gave us such nice and expensive looking things :)

And yes, they gave out a lot.

Thanks KDU :)

This ceremony was an opportunity to see our 1.5 years classmates again.

And most importantly, it was another opportunity to do this :

With some of our lecturers :)

Yank!!!

Arsenal bra! No wonder Alep looks so terharu

My butt... Damn, Wadhi you super hamsap! Haha

Forbidden love!

Yea my camera battery was "flatting" halfway through. So I did not manage to take alot of pictures.

Plus that is all that I am rajin enough to upload. Hehe

Coming up next, our lovely candid shots!

Stay tuned :)

Whats The Rush?

They were not kidding when they called it the "Couzmazing Race".

Couzmazing Race was another crazy but fun Couz event. Ever heard of Amazing Race? Well, that is exactly what Couzmazing Race is all about, except that we did not have to fly out of the country.

Ok it is not exactly alike. But similar in some areas.

The rules were simple. We are not allowed to drive ourselves around or call other people to bring us about, must take public transport, and no calling other people for help. However, we are allowed to ask pedestrians or random people for help while at respective locations. And we were also not allowed to sabotage other teams by hiding the clues and what not. Lolz

The organisers dressed in red

Each team consisting of four people was given RM20 to spend on whatever is necessary. We are allowed to spend more, but that will have to come out from our own pockets.

The race started at 12.40pm in SIB KL 4th floor, where each team was given an envelope that contains clues as to where the next location should be. There were 4 different locations that we had to go to complete every task given. But not every team went to the same location at the same time.

The other teams

In each envelope, there are two pieces of paper. In the first piece, there are a series of questions that we have to answer and to fill in the box given by the side of the questions. Then we have to unscramble the letters in the shaded boxes to figure out our next location.

In the second piece, there were a few series of questions and task that we had to complete to gain points.

The series of questions that made us run amuck in Pavillion. But thank God for directories!

Unlike the Amazing Race, Couzmazing Race was all about points. Each task and question have points, and even though you arrived back in church first, it does not mean that you have won. Owh, and minus points for every minute that you are late. Haha

I joined Andrew, Joshua and Beatrice, and together we were group 10. Our team name? Whats The Rush? Hahah cute le...

Are you guys ready to rock??? Eh whats the rush neh.... selamba je....

We were the last team to leave church because the location question was tough. But many thanks to a certain someone, and we managed to figure out that our first location was KLCC.

My team's route was:

SIB KL - KLCC - Pavillion - Bukit Bintang (Sg Wang, Lot 10 and Low Yat) - Masjid Jamek - SIB KL.

We took cab every single round, and only took the LRT once on the way to KLCC. Tough and quick decisions had to be made! Haha total cost that we spent was about RM80.

KLCC was the worst run ever. From ground floor all the way up to the fourth floor, then inside Konikuya, then dashed to the fountain, and then back to the ground floor, and then the third floor again, then outside of KLCC to RHB Bank, and not forgetting to the Aquaria and back again. Back and forth here and there. And the worst part was, there was a typo in one of the questions -____________________-

Lets get going guys!

Figuring out the puzzle

On location in Bukit Bintang

After completing all questions and tasks at each location, we were to go to a designated spot to meet one of the organisers and pass up the questions and answers and receive another envelope to our next location. Melody did a really good job of hiding herself in Pavillion. We crossed the entire food court and still could not find her! And I bet James was super comfortable in Coffee Bean in Low Yat.

There were a few crazy things that we had to do. We had to take funny pictures in KLCC, and also in one of those lala-photo booths.

Trust me, the guys were a lot more lala than Beatrice and I....

Yes, it was one of the task that we had to do. Imagine how embaressing it must be for team LARR (Randy and Ronald's team. Get his to pronounce it to you. It will crack you up) that consisted of four guys! Haha I do not think that they would ever show us the pictures that they took. Randy wanted to stick the pictures in his car, but his friend Alan threatened to burn the car down. Haha so I am guessing that the pictures that they took must have been very lala. Lolz

Another thing that we had to do was an option between running all the way uphill to St. John school and face the risk of getting lost or to get one of the team members to do a henna.

Guess which one we opted for...

Thats my hand btw

Duh...

Masjid Jamek was the hardest in terms of questions as none of us were familiar with that area. Pavillion was the easiest. A big thank you to those who brought me to Pavillion to go window shopping because it helped alot in terms of being familiar with the place. Hehe

All teams were suppose arrive in SIB KL at 6.20pm. We arrived 7 minutes late, and I was rather surprised that we were the fourth team to arrive. We thought that everyone else had made it back already.

To our pleasant surprise, dinner was ready when we arrived. That definitely relieved my three teammates that had nothing to eat before the race.

Beatrice enjoying her meal

After dinner, they announced the winners of the race. And guess what Whats The Rush? won...

We got second place!

LARR came in third and won RM100.

The first team won RM300. I heard that they spent over RM100 during the entire course of the race and were armed and geared with all sorts of gadgets that assisted them during the race. Man, they were really set out to win! Haha

During the race, we were slightly discouraged because everything was so hectic and seemed impossible to complete. But we all agreed that were here to have fun, and it does not matter if we win or lose. One of the best part about this was that no one lost their temper or got mad at each other. Thats what happens when Sheep work together :)

The Couzmazing Race is definitely one of my most favourite experience. I had huge amounts of fun running wild in KL, literally. And it was good bonding time for the four of us.

All of you out there, if there is to be another Couzmazing Race next year, sign up and join in the fun! I promise you this, you will not regret it!

Yellow ROAR!!!! Yellow ROAR!!!

The only reason why I went for the KDU Sports Carnival this year was because I promised Boy that we would go watch them cheer.

I intended to just watch them cheer, then go back home and study.

Little did I know that I would end up staying for the entire thing the whole morning!

When I got there together with Rashad and Nazirul, I thought that we were late and that the whole thing had already started. But everything was not set up yet and the participants were busy getting ready and doing last minute practises. So I managed to get a little sneak peek before my juniors went out there to perform.

A few of us from AL608 came to give support to our juniors and the entire Pre-U department.

Proudly donning the yellow band

The event kicked off with the march pass and cheers. Blue house came first, and impressed everyone with their synchronised marching formations and cheers.

But our house literally stole the whole show with our performance. It was 100 times better than what I expected from them and also a whole lot better than any other house!

Weeks before the carnival, Dayat and Eva came complaining to me a few times about the march and cheer. Out of stress I suppose. They were both concerned about formations and choreography being incomplete and about what little time they had left.

I think they had about a month to practise and get the entire thing complete. And the march took less than that!

If you were to see their performance that day, you would have thought that they have been at it for months!

They were amazing! Very synchronised no obvious mistakes (I say that because I really did not see anything wrong with anyone's movement).

I am not exagerating.

Hormat!!

Boy and Daniel. One of the coolest part of the cheer

Eva flying up in the air and touching her toes

GO FIGHT WIN!!!

Mascots at work

After the march and cheers, the netball competition commenced!

And again, we kicked ass!! Even Dr Chia joined the yellow team to kick ass.

Up next was the tug of war...

Pull Ms Hannah... PULL!!!

Whoa....

Eva enthusiastically cheering them on

This time, the tug went to the blue house. And despite everyone's effort to cheer on the yellow team, the other teams proved to be bigger and stronger than everyone else.

Medals and trophies were given out at the end of the day.

Credit was given when it was due, true sportsmanship was displayed (well, for some people that is), and what else can I say? Yellow team rocks!

Sea of yellows

Haha Ivor looks as though he is in pain

Check out all her medals and trophies

This little girl is soooooo damn adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire yellow team

Yes, I ended up staying a little bit longer than what I originally planned. But no regrets. It was an awesome event and a spectacular performance that my juniors put on. It was by far the best sports carnival ever!
