Sorry... almost forgotten this blog :-P Almost one month I never returned to Ipoh, now finally... This is the third time I came back by train.
What to tell? The last time Icame back was a week after Independence Day, when Poi Lam High School had food & fun fair. Met a few old friends... Such a sucessful fair! The coupons were sold off early around 11am. I bought quite a number of items!
The following Sundays? I went to All Saint's Church Cheras for 3 times. The church is near the Chan Sow Lin LRT Station (STAR Line or Ampang Line).
1st time - from Putrajaya Sentral took Metrobus to Serdang KTM Komuter station, took commuter to Bandar Tasik Selatan, then LRT to Chan Sow Lin
2nd time - took bus E1 from Putrajaya Sentral to Central Market (Pasar Seni), walked to Plaza Rakyat LRT station (behind Puduraya bus station), travelled to Chan Sow Lin
3rd time - Saturday evening followed a few CCF members such as Yii Ching Ping to City Disciples Presbyterian Church Subang Jaya, at night took commuter from Subang Jaya to Bank Negara, walked to Bandaraya LRT station, travelled to Chan Sow Lin. Stayed overnight in church!
Know how I found the church? I used Google Earth and an atlas of Klang Valley. By the way I got the church address from the Diocese of West Malaysia website: http://www.anglicanwestmalaysia.org.my/. Then on the Saturday evening before, I confirmed the way by walking from the LRT station, and met Vincent Phang and his aunt who is in charge of taking care of the church. Vincent Phang is a son of a pastor, Ven Andrew Phang of Christ Church Penang. Vincent is studying in LimKokWing University, Cyberjaya. By the way this All Saint's Church is Chong En Hui's church. My friend in ASOD. Then I found that Deaconess Chin Kho Nee is serving there!
1st year 1 trimester over... barred from Computer Programming I because attendance too low, absent for Database Systems because forgotten the date... :'( :'( :'( End up only sat for Digital Systems, passed. But overall, failed this final exam, so under probabtion :'( I was probably one of the last local students leaving the hostel, I went home on the first Wednesday of the trimester break.
31st October - followed St. Michael's Church people to St. Paul's Church Petaling Jaya to watch the Ordination of Priests and Deacons. I was the only one in St. Peter's Church who enrolled to watch this ceremony, so I got to follow these St. Michael's Church people. I was representing St. Peter's Church :D Gideon Lee from St. Michael's Church and Wong Yoo from Gereja Shekinah Mambang Di Awan were ordained as a priest, and... http://www.anglicanwestmalaysia.org.my/sub_page.aspx?catID=4&ddlID=153
Oooh... finally my dad allow me to drive further, to St. Peter's Church, St. Michael's Church...

Went to St. Mary's Cathedral just for "spiritual meal"!?
Suddenly wanted to go home, suddenly decided not to go home. Then I have St. Mary's Cathedral in mind, and I found that Masjid Jamek LRT station (both STAR and PUTRA) is the nearest transport station, so I took KLIA Transit and STAR LRT (now known as Ampang Line) to Masjid Jamek and walked there, then I found that the church was preparing for a wedding on the next day. I enquired for the Sunday service and found that there are 7am, 8.30am, 10.30am and 6pm.
Saturday? Erm... nothing.
Sunday - followed the Chinese Christian Fellowship to Serdang Methodist Church. In Mandarin. Took lunch in Serdang. Then I went for the Evensong in St. Mary's Cathedral (i.e. the 6pm service). I took RapidKL T429 to Putrajaya Sentral and took RapidKL E1 to KL Sentral (I didn't know that E1 stops there, thought of going to Central Market a.k.a Pasar Seni and take PUTRA LRT), then I took PUTRA LRT to Masjid Jamek station. But I've misestimated the time! I was very very late, arrived 7pm and just right to take Holy Communion ONLY, not even the sermon. Then as I was spoted as a newcomer, I was introduced to the young (20 and above?) members in the Contemporary Service (same time as the traditional Evensong). I talked with them until around 8.30pm, then I took STAR LRT to Plaza Rakyat Station and went to Puduraya bus station to buy bus ticket for this coming Friday - I'm sure I want to go home. Alas! No more afternoon tickets! I bought Transnasional 11.30am, so I'll have to get up very early. After that I tried to find my way to Central Market (Pasar Seni) to take RapidKL E1 back to Putrajaya Sentral (don't want to spend on the KLIA Transit). I went into Jalan Petaling and got lost, passed by the Bar Council building (where two weeks ago there was the convert to Islam forum and some Muslims gathered up to protest), then I gave up, thought of taking PUTRA LRT from Pasar Seni station to somewhere else. As I was getting near the station, there were buses there! And there was an E1! So I got up and...

First time didn't go home
Yeah, it was last weekend! Because I missed the Friday 1pm bus! I couldn't buy afternoon ticket because school holiday was coming. At first I was wondering where to go, didn't want to go back to campus. Finally, I decided to go to Our Saviour's Church Salak South, where I went for ASOD January of this year. I stayed overnight in Rev Jacob Bau's house for 4 days 3 nights. On Saturday night there was no Youth Fellowship but there was Youth cell group. Met Eddy and Simon again. Went to service on Sunday. Went back to campus on Monday morning after breakfast.
End of the mid term break
During the break after I came back from agreement signing, I practice driving in several places. I even went into Malay villages!
On Saturday, again, I ponteng my church YF half way :-P then at night the SMAC youth went to combine with the Cornerstone Sanctuary youth. Since Cornerstone is just upstairs of Ray of Hope, my dad sent me there. And - Kimberly was there!! She was supposed to serve in our Mandarin service operating the projector. But she said her mom asked her to go there. We played games... organised by the Cornerstone people. As it finished, I noticed that most of the SMAC people came by church van!
Monday balik lo...

Now... one week break
As you can see...
I didn't go to SMAC Youth on Saturday night because they have Games Night and it was too early for me! (6.30-8.00pm) Our CYF was preparing for Youth Sunday on 31st August. Argh... I don't know how to dance :-(
On Sunday, I gave everyone in Ray of Hope a surprise - I'm back!! Mymom didn't tell them that I was following. Because not enough car, I went on Isaiah's car to SMAC. We worshipped there, then the students have performances such as dancing and percussion... then we sell cookies...
It was Datin Mary Yeoh giving sermon - yeah, in Cantonese. And there was Holy Communion, but we didn't shake hand!?
And - Stella didn't turn up.
Monday - practice driving in Jelapang before leaving for MMU. It was too late when my notebook computer was ready, so I have to visit a cybercafé at night, opposite Puduraya bus station. Found that the PTPTN agreement signing time changed from 2.30pm to 11.00 am. But already bought bus ticket for 9.30pm!
Tuesday - Went to sign agreement, but still have somemore have to let my parents sign. Then, about 2.30pm, I found that I have a friend from Sarawak who didn't know about the time change! Poor thing... his loan will be delayed... I went back on the 7.30pm bus.

Now...
I scored 6 marks out of 10 marks for the lab test.
I arrived Ipoh and my godfather Kok Chin Choong came in a van (carrying children) to send me back to St. Peter's Church. I reached SPC after 6pm, then we went to an Indian Muslim shop for dinner, then my parents sent me to Jusco to wait for a van to go to St. Michael's Church. Wow... more than one hour! So long... And there were far less people, people like Anna, Michael... disappeared. Heard that they have gone to KL for a Worship in Songs training. And have to go back early, don't know why...
Bought some books in Ipoh for study...
Then the following Saturday, SMAC no Youth Fellowship, then in SPC the important people in the Chinese Youth Fellowship disappeared, we just kept playing games...
Now it's the last week before mid-term break. But this coming Tuesday have to sign the PTPTN loan agreement!
I will go back this coming Friday, attend both YF on Saturday, then follow Ray of Hope to SMAC on Sunday - we will have a mini food fair! I've been longing to go there for Sunday worship. I wish to meet ________.

Lab test coming...
This coming Saturday. Computer Programming I (TCP1231).
On Tuesday night I went to KL to change my bus ticket to Saturday 2.30pm. My parents adviced me not to go home. But now... I think the chance for me to go home is 99%. My dad told me that Anwar may be arrested on the next day (Yesterday).
Then Anwar was really arrested yesterday afternoon around 1pm! He was back home from the Anti Corruption Agency. He had appointment with the police at 2pm.
This morning he was released.
I've dropped Japanese. Just put down one burden for this trimester. Tomorrow I'll have no lesson for the whole day and I'll come back from Ipoh on Monday.
