Hi everyone!
I'm back from Penang! I thank God for a pleasant 5 days there =) We had lectures in the day for the first 4 days and our evenings were free. As such, we would tour the city in our self-organized groups once the day ended at 5.30pm. My table won the Logo & Cheer and Presentation competitions heh. The only one we missed out on was the technical knowledge competition, for which we came in 2nd. The food was good and plentiful (buffet breakfast and lunch, and 2 tea breaks a day with food. In other words, we ate ALOT, haha). I got to try some of the well-known Penang dishes too, of which the 'Penang Char Kway Teow' was the yummiest. Must try if you get to visit Penang!
Here comes the best part heh. I managed to share the Gospel with a new colleague, and I actually got to do so on the monday morning flight to Penang! =) She's open to Christianity, but would prefer to remain a Buddhist at the moment, partly because her whole family is Buddhist too. I hope to share more with her soon. I got to meet unchurched believers among my colleagues also during the trip, and I hope to invite them to join us for cell/service soon. Last but not least, God also gave me a few opportunities to engage in a spiritual conversation with me roommate, who is also open to Christianity but not ready to follow Jesus yet.
It was a memorable trip and I can confidently say that prayers were being answered throughout the 5 days, praise God! =) If you had been praying for me, I wanna say THANK YOU! This thought kept ringing through my mind while I was there, and I hope we'll all think about it too. Here's the thought: "I am a Christian first, and everything else is second."
Team AXECEL: My table-mates and I with our winning logo. Its quite simple, so we were actually quite surprised that we won. The bosses seemed to like it though, possibly because its meant to communicate that 'we want to excel in everything that we do'.
That's me in my 'street-fighter' attire for the skit heh. I'm wearing the bath-robe from the hotel room, haha (its clean and unused hoh!). In the foreground are some props that we used.
You were blessed by EJ
