TOUCH Channel

Out of random inspiration I've decided that TOUCH should have a youtube channel of its own. Now with http://www.youtube.com/user/touchpictures, our friends who are now overseas can have a glimpse of home. It's just a great way to keep everybody connected lah, you know?

Anyway, this is May's recording (from her digital camera) of 1 part of our youth service, plus some editing from me. This video just shows how much fun we do have in TOUCH (and how sporting Samuel Young is).

PK Gathering 1

We started here, and the bond is so strong that we don't want to settle for meeting once in 2 years. Our first PK Gathering 1 was held at Or~Ju, Metro Prima, Kepong, on 11 August 2007. And I'm so glad to finally get the video done!! WOHOO!!

Friends That Are Good To Have

It was great fun being host to Phoebe. Big thanks to Justin (yea he was with us too) & Rabeeka for coming along.

Philippines: Log Entry 2

It sure feels odd not being in FCC on Sunday morning. I really miss my family back in KL. But being in Baguio AG is a breath of fresh air. The music team was led by their youth pastor, Pastor Brian. They had a violinist too!! Gosh I absolutely love that. And it's true what's been said - Phillipinos can really sing. I was rather embarassed when I sang & played the keyboard, assisting my dad in his message.

Besides getting to know Pastor Brian, (who happens to be a really hardworking youth pastor and a fellow PK!!) who is such an inspiration, I really had fun getting to know Pastor Dennis. I like that guy. First impression was that his face can't stop smiling... Or maybe he was just being apologetic because he made 5 of us squeeze into the backseat of the car. Even though he's 32, he's really young at heart. I was learning a phrase in Tagalog & had fun with it a bit - he laughed hard & said "You rock!!". WOW, no one his age says that kind of thing!! Not in Malaysia. Someone says 'you rock' and laughs at your jokes? You got to love that guy. And there's also another thing about him that would make the guys back in KL like him....

SpongeBob Squarepants!!

Another highlight of the day would be our shopping at SM Shopping Complex. I only like shopping when I have something I want or need to buy. But firearms are easily accessible in the Phillipines, so we went to a shop where the salesperson was nice enough to let us hold the guns even though it's obvious we weren't going to buy it. It was another one of a kind experience.

Samuel, Lemuel & myself had some encounters that are both funny and embarassing at the same time. I took out a T-shirt to show Lemuel, I thought he might want to buy it. As soon as I lifted it up, the salesgirl immediately went "Oh we have larger size"... That's my sad encounter. Then Lemuel had a weird argument with another salesgirl as Lemuel claimed that she said he's hot. Haha... Who would you believe?

Samuel's encounter was at a shop where they sold funny spoof T-shirts. He finally chose one & asked the lady what size he should get.

Sam: What's my size?

Lady: Large.

Sam: You mean that I'm large?

Lady: No no!! It's not you, it's your size!! You're not
large, your size is large...

By the way, this is the T-shirt that Samuel bought...

WPC 07/07/07

Shekinah Youth Inferno came to town last weekend, and they were touched by the Weekend Pictionary Club (WPC).

I was busy playing futsal with the guys, so Phoebe taught them how to play the best board game in the world. And it was through there I found out why it took the PKs 4 HOURS to finish 1 game of pictionary. I think my WPC will produce an official video guide on the way the game is supposed to be played. Anyhow, I believe they thoroughly enjoyed the game.

That Saturday night, WPC headed back to base. This time we had Josephine playing with us for the first time.

Round 1: Rabeekah teamed up with Josephine to compete with Justin and I.

Judging from both pictures of Rabeekah, I think she missed my partnership. Good thing we weren't separated for long...

Round 2: Jacklyn & Justin versus Rabeekah & I.

Jacklyn came in in replacement of Josephine & decided to partner with Justin. And even though we were on the same team, Rabeekah & I had a really tough time. Justin in particular improved immensedly that night. The following picture depicts the drama:

(picture cropped out from the first picture above.)

Anyway, notice the positions of both teams on the board? Rabeekah & I were the yellow piece. But we fought back strong & cause the opposition to panic...

My team emerged out of the intense drama as winners!!

that's how intense it was!!

*sing* I... had Pictionary in my house,

Never knew it could be so fun...

Why did it take me so long just to find

A friend that was there all along... *trumpet rift*

*change song* Friend Forever.... *end with guitar strum*

Weekend Pictionary Club

Above are pictures taken last Saturday night- a gathering of young people, bonding with conversation, food, and pictionary... Pictionary has got to be one of the best board games ever. It's interactive, it's a team sport, requires a lot of brains & creativity, it's rarely about luck. It's just such a fun game!! Funny how it has been in my house all my life & I've only discovered it recently. And I'm really grateful and amazed to see how it can bring people together!! I believe every cell group should own a set.

since 1985

The Weekend Pictionary Club is only the beginning of another God-given dream. And I'm so excited!!

May & Rabeekah... Together we form a deadly partnership...

This Is For Lee Ken Chung

Dear Ken Chung,

It's been 2 days since you left us for your 4 months' stay in US. Hope you had a wonderful journey & are beginning to settle down in New Jersey. I don't know what's the weather like now, but please remember not to lick the lamp post during the winter season. Matter of fact, you probably should just not lick anything while you're there. Or back here.


Oh, I've fulfilled your wishes last night - I've passed your PlayStation 2 to Jezreel & Daniel. And here are the pictures to prove the exchange.

Jezreel and Daniel all smiles after receiving the PS2.

The opening ceremony.

Deciding who should be using it first... Still all smiles...

SUDDENLY, RAGE!!

What tragedy... 2 friends now turned enemies...

You should have just given me the PlayStation 2 lah, Ken...

p.s Missing you already lah...
