Who Am I?

Who am I - Casting Crown


Who am I?

(verse 1)
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,

(chorus)
Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am..
I am Yours. I am Yours.

(verse 2)
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again,
Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me,

(ending tag, ad lib)
I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?
I am Yours,
I am Yours.

Sorry about the quality, I took it with my phone, will upload a better one when I get it from my friends. Enjoy the music!

I survived 30 Hours without Food!

People preparing for the Famine

You've got the power! Yeah! It's has been quite some time before I update. The
reasons excuses were I busy with my assignments, tutorials and a test. if I don't
post it sooner or later it won't have the Umph![power].
On 12pm 21st March 2009, we started our 30 hour Fast till 6pm the next day. Many of my
friends have already post their feelings and photos, well I'll just post on a few more
from my point of view.

Volunteers doing some ice breaking - Superman

In the camp, we always have sharing after every activities, I'm quite amazed by how people
shared their experience and feelings. When it come to my turn, I just lost what I wanted
to say. It's not that I have no feelings or didn't experience anything. Maybe I'm just not
very good in expressing my ideas. Throughout my study we're more keen to express ourself
in words rather than verbal.

During this time too people were willing to do anything in order to survive including
drug smuggling, prostitution and working in mafia gang. In my family, I urged them not to
take up any illegal occupation. In the end, thanks to the cooperation of every family
member we're able to get everyone vaccinated, get our camp done but we only got enough
food for three out of eight members in the family. I believe we can do it better if there
is a next time. :)

Vowed to fast for 30 hours.

There are many performances by local artist including Daniel Lee, Francessca Peters,
Evenstarr, Soulcatchez and other performing artists. The organising commitee really did a
great job on this.

Through this camp I had met many nice people around, normally I won't talk to people I do
not know in the camp but this time I try to talk to new friends in my group and found out
they are very nice folks. Especially our group leader, Sheldon and his assistant, Grace.
Besides, I graduated from Kuching High for 3 years and still have the chance to meet the young ex-highians - Karen and Angelina Jolie. There are people who come with family too like
Viki. I remembered her mom saying she was really worried when Viki's camp was destroyed by
local authority though she is in my "family". We lend them our building materials to get
their camp back to shape after that.

[Warning: Civil engineering content!]

From the photo you can see that our camp is made of newspaper, plastic chair and nylon
stirngs. Our group had problem with sagging roof so we try to solve it by using suspension
roof and increased the weight of our four columns(chairs). It did worked very well and in
the end I spent too much time on the camp I that I forgot to get my food provision.. =_="

The legendary King David Wong

In Famine Challenge 2, we're refugees in Kolkata after an earthquake. So we moved in to
the city to make a living there, if we couldn't make enough, we have to move to the slump.
What we did was making stars from newspaper resembling refugees making handy crafts to
make a living. We need to earn 15 Rupees each person per day in a family in order to live
through the day. If someone is sick then the situation will be worst. Our family combined
into 16 person but we only managed to get 1 rupee from the sale of 10 paper stars. Hehe!
What a haul for 1 single rupee.

Poverty Quiz

Wow... I thought I don't have time to blog about 30 hour famine but in the end I wrote so much. Hopefully you guys will read some of it and continue next time you arrive as I won't be updating frequently.. Took photo with William and Jolene, Dixon and her sis. Thank Dixon-wolfhermit for the photo. The best emcee signed on my fan! Yeah!

Break fast! I look so terrible...


Ezekiel and Karen. She has whole lot of post on 30-Hour-Famine. She is my first fan.. Haha! Never though anyone would admire me playing guitar.. Hehe! After 30 hours, we learned to appreciate more and complain less and we have save some
kids!

Last but not the least... Best regards toGladys Wong, Gabriel Kuon, Alex Poh, David Wong, Phoebe, Yuki, Linus, Lily, Lance, BL
teacher(forgot her name), one girl in my family not mentioned in this blog (I forgot her
name -_-)..

Sidetrack: Do I really look 14 in the camp? I'm 21 this year... Hehehe!

A Sharing

Yesterday was really an eventful day, After church service we have a little sharing among the members of commitee. We are to voice out our opinion mainly on personal relation skills and what we can do to make our youth fellowship better.

We started the activity by distributing a piece of cute paper to our next person. Then we stick this piece of paper on the back of the next person. When everyone had paper on their back we started to write encouraging words with our signature on it. Rev. Ting mentioned we should show our real concern by putting down signature.Writing on people's back is really a fun thing to do, when other people wrote on your back it feels like massaging. Haha!The birthday cake is for those whose birthday are from the first half of the year. Ops! I forgotten myself. Tsk~This game is not a new game, the objective of this game is to bring encouragement to members of commitee in serving the Lord. When people make mistake and realised it, they wanted to changed. Most people end up no changing because changing takes a lot of effort and confidence. When we are given credits on what we have done, we will change for the better because confidence others have given us. So if you want somebody to change for the better, remember to give them encouragement.I wrote on 7 people's back and in return, I got 7 nice messeges from them too! :) In the evening, we gave a surprise birthday party to Sherine and Igno, well quite an old trick I should say, then again who cares if it is? The most important thing is, it worked!
The 21st and 25th birthday of Sherine and Igno respectively, taken when they give their speech. Here comes the moment of truth, looks like Igno had prepared to blow the candles but Sherine is still in the midst of her birthday dream.. Haha! Now you get what I meant, the candles was blown out before she blew. Nice one, Igno. Haha! Having friends to celebrate birthday is really a nice thing. The feeling is just beyond description of any words. By the way I just remembered, not many people from youth will visit my blog, most of them don't even know I have a blog. Hmm... It's ok then.
