It was more than I expected it to be! We had an awesome time up in Penang Hill Bethel House again. All of those who when up with us came down different, change and exited. I'm encourage also by the all the hidden talents that have emerge from within our team! We came down with 5 newly composed songs and a new fire that is passionate about worship!

Last Tuesday 20th. My wife and I were kind of bored so we just decided to drive around Penang. As we are around Tanjung Bungah area, we saw cars streaming out of the market! We found a parking spot and so took a tour around the night bazaar that was flowing with people.
"Mari mari mari, satu ringgit satu!"
There were lots of stalls and the one that caught our attention is the Durian and the Mango stall (picture). Cannot believe, Tau Chiu is still fifty cents here and the Lok Lok stall is really mouth watering.
Stop going just to Queens and Gurney only people, pasar malam are great place to shop, eat and observe people. Monday is at Relau, Tuesday at Tg. Bungah, Wednesday at Farlim (Biggest One), Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday I don't know?? Anyone know?

4th May, FGA celebrated her 25th anniversary! It was a night truly to be remembered, the decoration was beautiful, the food is great and the drama and dance are excellant. The only thing is that the AC was on a little bit late, many people including me were soak wet!
This is the picture that was taken from the Spice cafe, Justin with a flowery decoration, I think it is a morning glory.

Last Friday was labor day, no school & no work! I took this opportunity to take out some of the youth 4 breakfast and a trip to Batu Ferringghi. It was an awesome day, except for the humidity and the heat of beautiful Penang.
We first stop at Kaleel for some rotis. Elisha gobbled down 3 roti telurs, Ivy had a bomb while the rest of us has roti canai, well except for Sharon who had only a glass of teh ais and lots of giggles for breakfast.
After filling our tummies we headed to the Spice Garden. We didn't tour the garden because I think it cost from RM 16- 20 per person. We when to directly to the Spice Cafe while we took some photo shots before we reach. It is a really scenic place, over looking the sea and surrounded with nature, and butterflies! A really perfect place to chill, relax and refresh one self with spice drinks such as lemon grass drink, nugmet drink, spice tea, coffee and more. Joyce had a black pepper chocolate cookie!
It was really an awesome day.. check out the pictures.

It has not been an discouraging month, maybe year... ha ha.
Everything seems out of control and there is an army that surrounds me from all sides. I feel like as if I could no longer fight this endless treats and spears from the enemy.
People that I'm passionate about, the people I live for seems to turn against me while I speak the truth. The people whom I love seems to stick jagged knife into my back while I'm asleep. People that I trust have broken the cord and people that I lead are leading down.
Parents seems against me while I put their children at the highest interest, children thinks I'm against them because I try to get them to walk in the light. What is going on oh Lord.
I'm glad that I was able to meet with 5 youth pastors and leaders of Penang yesterday. They too share the same struggles and challenges that I face and because of this I didn't feel alone. We shared our heart and later prayed for one another.
I'm also glad for a wife that stands by my side to support and encourage me.
I hear the voice again... Do you trust me son?

3 weeks have pass since Rama and I arrived at Kullu Valley, the hill valley of the Himalayan range. Winter have just pass but the wind are still bitterly cold, snow are still present at most of the mountains around Kullu.
One month had pass since Rama's nice (Shristy) died in a tragic accident. Rama's mother is still going through the trauma for seeing the accident and still cry many times everyday. There is no way anyone could comfort her. However, Shristy parents have improved tremendously and there have been some joy in the family again after a long time.
We have a week more to go before we take our long journey back to New Delhi, every time I think about the journey I tremble because of the treacherous roads of the Himalayas. We will be arriving in Delhi on the 1st and flying back to Malaysia on the 2nd, arriving only on the 3rd.
Shristy is very dear to all of us, we do not understand why God would allowed this to happen but we put our complete trust in Him because He knows more then us and He is good. (Jer 29:11)
