Brothers' & Sisters' Appreciation Day

What better way to show your appreciation towards someone than to make him / her laugh at your expense?

Cameron Highlands

2 days 1 night is kinda short for a trip like this, but I'll take what I can get. And we were so fortunate that Lemuel, Melanie & Mikayla took us along for this (Osbourne caught up with us late at night). Everywhere we went & everything we did were so much more enjoyable with good company.

If it were up to me, I wouldn't have gone to places like strawberry farm or the butterfly park, but Mikayla made every moment precious & necessary. There are so many things I love there - the cool weather, the beautiful scenery, the fresh vegetables, the night market, strawberry ice creams... and did I mention the cool weather? Perfect for BBQ (which we did do on our first night).

Seriously, I wish I had more reason to stay in Cameron Highlands, or at least go there more often. Last year, Pastor Leong of Taman Lakeview was saying that he was going to retire, & I asked if I could take his place as caretaker of the campsite - and I wasn't joking. Perhaps if they could cut short the journey to an hour, or if I had a driver & a nice car, or a helicopter... Or if I had a job that requires me to be in Cameron Highlands half the time... It feels strange needing to be in KL.. Is this my comfort zone, or is this where I'm suppose to be?

Anyways, I do hope to be going up there again in June. Maybe stay up there for like 10 days or something. Nonetheless, I'm really grateful for this trip. It felt like a fulfillment of Psalm 37:4 - 'Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.' These few years, there's really nothing I could depend on except God. Circumstances came our way & forced it upon us, really. But we've experience the grace & the beauty of depending on God for everything. He has come through for us every time. And little by little, step by step, He is drawing us unto complete dependence upon Him.

Not too long now, I'll be away from all the city stress, escaping to Cameron Highlands. It'll be a short trip, but I'm looking forward to a great time of enjoying friends & the presence of God.

God, you really know the desires of our hearts...

Was doing some experimenting with my video camera (preparing for Brothers' & Sisters' Day) when I stumbled upon photos taken from youth camp last year.

Ahh. Miss feeling the cool breeze & hot sun at the same time. Cameron Highlands is a really really nice place. In my ideal world, I would be living there, away with all the rush - working from home (must have internet!!), traveling down to KL on occasions for work & play. Of course my family & my close friends will be there as well, forming a community that just wants to enjoy each other & God's radiance.

 Here's a photo of me taking myself too seriously...

And then here's one where I just go wild. I wonder why I did that at all.

A job well done by Lee Ken Chung, stepping up to preach as we always knew he could. A humble but great man of God. Looking forward to hear more of his sermons & then some from Joseph Teng too. =)

Conversations over coffee are deeply cherished indeed.
