FES NC 2010 ended sometimes ago, this time, the NC was given the theme : Rist It U-Turn. Daring delegates of the conference to meet God, wrestle with Him, redefine Him in our life, seeking reassurance of salvation, to reflect on our life, to be vulnerable to correction, to be transform by God and to look into issues of our nation + chalellenge us to counter current! I have been challenge and would like to journal down pieces of puzzles of the conference here, do allow the photos to speak for themselves.


UKM KL CF delegates: 9 of us in total (frm left: Catherine, Wai Han,Josephine, Jolene, Lynn, Qian Yi, Me, Grace and Yvonne posing in front)


We posed together with our campus U-Turn flag sign. Thanks to all CF members who participated in making this flag sign come alive, special token of gratitude to Jane who gave birth to the idea of this sign. To those who couldnt make it to NC, your presence is represented by this flag sign albeit your physical absent =)

The theme song for the NC is Satu Suara by Juwita Suwito. We are so blessed to have her sing the song to us 1st hand on one of the few nights. She is gifted with powerful singing voice.

Participants from different states of Malaysia come together in one accord in this NC to look into our personal life issues and national issues. To understand ourselves adn our nation. In case you are wondering what is with the yellow bus doing there. the bus represents all participants are on board and ready to venture into 6 days of conference!

We were requested to wear national costume during the NC karnival night. Malaysia is so blessed with the richness of different etnic with beautiful and tasteful traditional costume.

Some of us from UKM KL CF wearing traditional costume, couldnt manage to gather the rest of the delegates from UKM KL cause to many people around. * head spinning* do u notice I am the only Indian, the rest are chinese ;^)

I stayed in a double-strorey apartment throughout the conference. I really enjoy suppering, crazying and photo-taking with my apartment-mates! Yes, this is our Family Photo! (frm top left: Angela, Rachel, Fong Wan, Shirley, Tania, Beatrice . Bottom from left: Sophia, Josephine , me and Renjie) Miss you girls! Excuse us for the messy left over supper !

this was the 1st time I realised that Maggi cup can actually taste so good =)
Beatrice, me and Angela. Beatrice is my small group member, and most of the photo in this post are credited from her album. Angela is my roomate, enjoy pillow-talk with her and like her pretty smile!

Of course, this would not be FES programme without any sports games! This time round we competed among small groups. This photo was taken when we were getting ready for dodge ball game, a game that requires excellence full body coordination cause you need to hide away from getting hit by ball mean while focusing on opponent to throw ball at them. but anyway, I enjoyed myself in this game * Love*

This is my small group! Our group was named after Kelabit. A tribe in northeast Sarawak. Bario is Kelabit heart-land. 1 of my dream after this NC is to hike mount Bario one day and try their famous Bario rice! ( Frm top left: Rachel, Tania, Beatrice, Elijah, Daniel Anand, wilson, Bottom: me and Josephine) FYI, Anand was our group leader, He is cute!
And yes! this is the group photo! There were around 400 of us excluded the crews. until today I still didnt fully get to know all who attended this NC. However, I have made a few good friends that i treasure. I pray that our friendships will continue to grow in Christ even after NC. this NC is like a Pit stop for me, a point for me to reflect, to reencounter and resubmit myself 100% to Him. Real challenge is still ahead of me, yet I will not fear for God has given me no spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline (2 Tim 1:7). Therefore, I shall do my best to present myself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

Thank you FESand above all, Thank you dear Heavenly Father, for speaking through your servant through the book of 2 Tim. Enable me Lord to keep your word in my heart and live it out. That I will be like Paul to fight a good fight, to finish the race , keep the faith and be called good and faithful servant! and that my life will be a legacy leave behind to encourage and be a testimonial to those who come behind me.

NC has been a bonus for me to end my 2010 in reflection and preparing myself to soar on eagle's wings in future!

p/s: up next, I will share with you a beautiful poem written by a friend I treasure from NC. He is very gifted in expressing himself through poems. I can almost smell the season and feel the breeze from the way he put words into his writing. Talented!

stop, look and go

today we had our last cf for this semester on the title of 'stop, look, and go'. we were enquired to reflect and to plot the poiema of our semester... i thought about my semester... what have i achieved, what have i learnt, what have i changed, did i live out my new semester resolution? did i live out our cf theme ' weaving love in ACTION and in TRUTH'? hmm... as you are eagered to know, my poiema looks like a roller coaster..;}see, when we pause and reflect upon the footsteps that we had make, we can see our life more clearly, instead of rushing by.. same goes to blogging, when we journal down our thought, somehow, we will see things more clearly.

God is gracious to me this year, i discover that i learnt a lot( is still in the process of learning), God has been sending people to teach me, He had opened ways for me to learn and to grow. i realised that somehow this year, i have always been learning to.. to open up myself for the Lord to heal me, teach me, guide me and equip me... i have been blessed too with frenz who are dare to be honest with me, to help me see things differently and to encourage me and journey with me... most of all, i have Jesus to journey with me.during the 'stop, look and go' we were ask to look into our life throughout this sem. by sharing our poiema to our groups. many of us are very encouraging by being very open... many of us had been through our down pit in this sem. without sharing with our cf members.. and yes, some of us too have our climax in this sem. , one thing i realised is that i should be more sensitive to my frenz so that i manage to support and cheer them on whenever they need me. amd also to celebrate with them during their glorious moment, not to waste these precious time to journey together with frenz in Christ! after looking back into our journey through out this semester, i am now able to see myself at this point of my life, knowing myself better, and ever ready to continue on the journey, with the desire of growing more in Christ and to not to pass Him by!

before we end the meeting, June as our cf leader threw us a question to ponder on 'what is cf?' hmm.. good question, is cf a second church? is cf another form of cg? is cf a place to makan. or is cf merely a specific time of gathering at 4th lecture hall( we call it DK4) .. the answer is cf is everywhere, everyday whereby we can make a n impact towards our campus and also a place of fellowship among christian students! how do you define your cf?

stop, look and go! all the best in your upcoming final exam !

a delightful piece of song dedicated to my frenz out there, click on the link to listen to it :)

Angels Brought Me Here - Guy Sebastian
It’s been a long and winding journey, but i’m finally here tonightPicking up the pieces, and walking back into the lightInto the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future liesThere’s nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes…

My dreams came true, when i found youI found you, my miracle…

If you could see, what i see, that you’re the answer to my prayersAnd if you could feel, the tenderness i feelYou would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…

Standing here before you, feels like i’ve been born againEvery breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name…

My dreams came true, right here in front of youMy miracle…

If you could see, what i see, you’re the answer to my prayersAnd if you could feel, the tenderness i feelYou would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…

Brought me here to be with you,I’ll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)My dreams came trueWhen I found youMy miracle…

If you could see, what i see, you’re the answer to my prayersAnd if you could feel, the tenderness i feelYou would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…Yes they brought me here…If you could feel, the tenderness i feel…You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here…
