Sub Prime

Above is a illustration of the drop in Indexes (ours would be KLSE) around the world. and as 

you can see, Malaysia's fallen into the Red Zone.

Guys,

        As most of you might have heard, world economy aren't that great nowadays, and the work Sub prime, Great depression, Interest rate cuts, Bank Spread, Hedge Fund, *&^%$ and more rubbish jargon.

  

To help you better understand whats going on, you must learn the root cause which is The Sub prime Crisis (Click Here).

As the world economy heads toward Globalization. We can no longer ignore what is happening outside our country. As we might be driving a Japanese car, wearing a UK brand T-shirt that was made in China using cotton from a farm in Australia which was funded by a Swiss company listed in Wall Street (and the list goes on). The picture beside clearly illustrates how Global we're in right now. 

In short, US economy is failing and the world is being pulled into the blackhole, With lots of small business being forced into foreclosure, Big companies aren't spared as well. Believe me when i can no country is spared (and even China which as I'm drafting this post, has committed to spend 4Trillion RMB in the span of 2 years to boost domestic growth). 

Here, I hope that you can learn from what is happening around the world. This crisis have said to be on par or worst then the Great Depression back in the 1920s. This is indeed an incident that might not happen again in our lifetime and lets take this opportunity to learn and understand the mechanics behind our economy.

In conclusion, seeing how bad the economy is heading, dont expect me to spend you meals and no Xmas gift :P

Recent news for cell

Hey Guys. I've decided to take a whack at the gossip column (err I mean cell column)



Anyways here's the usual spiel of the week:

1. Daniel sends us news from Indonesia (He's sick and might be down with dengue) [Do send him well wishes, prayers and get well soon cards guys. He needs it!!!]


2. Ronald Tobing says that he might be visiting us next month so keep your fingers crossed!


3. James Lee brought a new member in this week. Hurrah! (Say Hi to Jojo guys & girls)


4. Isabelle just finished a major project with Hannah T (drools.....sorry bad habit) and some other celebrities (Harith Iskander, Hans Isaac, Pietro and many others.) called the H-Factor (http://www.h-factor.info/index.php/H-Factor-A-Z.php) which is aimed at helping youths make a difference in the entertainment industry. (Yep it really doesn't get any better than Hannah Tan guys!)


5. Yew Jinn, Me and Jason broke new records in prayer (around 5 hours). There was an all night prayer for the church at Ps. Julie's house. Great stuff guys. (And no one turned into pillars of salt. We're all saints :P) [Was actually worried I would be turned into 1]

Well that's KDC network for this week. How are you all doing? Hope things are going on great! Do continue to pray for the cell and bring along new friends!!! And let us know if you're going through a rough patch so we can bail you out with prayer and support. Enjoy the coming week guys and continue to seek after God.

Message from Daniel

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time (roughly 3 years ago), there was 2 young Indonesian lads that came to Malaysia. Little did they know what was in stored for them. During the short period of time, they've grown in the favour of the Lord and have attempted great things in His name.

Their lives were blessings to KDC which brought laughter and the joy of worship in their small group.

to be continue. lunch break lar! whatelse.

back...

In the end, every hacthling will need one day grow and leave the nest, and i am grateful for every single ups and downs we both shared. As we have lived out the time our lives had intertwined, i seem to believe that somewhere down the road, God has enlaced more opportunity for us to one day commune again.

Watch the man play!!! & Save Rick, Save the world!

Haha. These two are the most amazing lines in KDC. Let me outline the scenario for you guys.

Watch the man play was credited to Daniel Yen.

So so....Here's the scene. Long lost chess champion Yew Jinn and military tactician (more like military charge champion hehe) Jason Ngu against Daniel Yen. The ending scene was this. Our Daniel had 1 rook left to play along with his king and Yew Jinn had 2 bishops.

Thinking bishops were actually too dumb to nail a checkmate, Daniel rushed to attack them against his military adviser's advice aka Me :P. I wanted to say something but Daniel replied :" Just watch the MAN play" BWAHAHAHA. If you saw the look on Daniel's face when that checkmate happened....PRICELESS BRO!!! Absolutely PRICELESS!!! Well Daniel apologized to all men for losing .

Ok...Line 2. Save Rick, Save the world.

The scene was set in the game of Mafia. So the game was civilians against Mafia. This is basically an attorney defense game where you get the chance to sorta prove your innocence. That you were not the mafia. Your fate in this game is decided by a council (the civilians and mafia who would vote either for your death [to leave the game] or your right to live [to remain in the game]). The most compelling and interesting argument put forth was by Rick. Faced with the wrath of the council and like a lamb about to be put to the slaughter, Rick stood up and said:" Save Rick, Save the world" The argument was so compelling that Jason did the "bro signal" and GUESS WHAT!!! Dear old Rick here turned out to be the mafia (who should be convicted by the council in other to win the game). Guess dear Rick turned out to be Sylar after all. Hahaha. Machiavellian indeed.

After so long!

Service of 23rd August 08

Cellies!!! How you doing this week?

This week Ps. Linda talked about saving the lost souls to Christ, how its everyone's duty and responsibility as a christian to do so.

Regarding that, we might want to ask ourselves as a cell, how are we building passion towards the lost and how we might grow to learn how to love our pagan friends and eventually lead them to Christ.

Perhaps the way to start is to start caring for those in our cell as it is written in Hebrews 13:25:

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

For those of you who love Greek, the word exhort is "parakeleo" which in original context means to:

1)to console, to encourage and strengthen by consolation,

2)to comfort to receive consolation, be comforted (BlueLetterBible.org, 2008)

Well before I turn into Ps. Gan again...lol... just wanna say that we all enjoyed the dinner at Piccadilly. (1st time I actually attempted shell fish....without contracting an allergy.)

And heads off to the monster javelin thrower Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway, relentless Berkele from Ethopia for smashing both Olympic records and entertaining us hehe.

There wasn't a COD night this week but we (Isabelle, May, Rick,Jason, Ronald, and Me) did enjoy ourselves a pool game. Nothing like a lil one on one with 2 champion "snookerinas" (Err yeah I made that word :P)

"Next week I shall have my revenge" (says the Shadow. (Jon Gan's Alter ego) . Watch out Snake and Zpa!!!

Alright guys. Signing off. This is Jon Gan for Daniel Yen. KDCsaysHi network....(Maybe we should start a newscasting service)

Futsal Competition Prize.

Sharing with those who missed the gift unwrapping part.

Melaka!!

You know what people say about Vegas, the place to go off and escape the norms? Well, a few of us had the chance to take a break last sunday and enjoy a trip down to Melaka (Or Malacca in English), town of the A-famosa fort and all year round sweltering heat! It was pretty much a chill out-see what we can sort of trip, with moments of laughter, sharing and lots of soft drinks!


The morning began with failing to adjust my nocturnal clocks (much like now, still) and getting ready for our day out- I was pumped though, surviving on adrenaline for much of the weekend *futsal* :) we scheduled to meet at the toll around 11am, to fuel up and move out together.

'Enthu' campers getting ready!

However... disaster struck early.

When Alex came over and asked our car, "good news or bad news first...?" We gave him a curious brow and Mich asked for the good- "our food is still properly froz..." and I cut him short- "someone FORGOT the FOOD????" truth be told, one car had to reroute and get the food. *phew* lucky we found out then and not halfway to Melaka..

Ze Culprito. Hehehehe. *snapshot* After that upheaval, we moved out and got on the road!


Mich at the wheel. (NFS Cepat)

and the happy passengers (guess who's scared?)

Adrenaline!

We couldn't stop talking about the highlights of our recent futsal game, and everyone was charged for a good part of the roadtrip :) The weather on the way there was a little freaky- hasn't rain for days but it drizzled randomly and thunderstormed half the time we were on the highway. We saw at least 4 accidents on the way there.. life is fragile!

A Famosa Resort

Ooooooooooooh. on the way to finding the check-in counter.

In any case, we reached safely and began hunting for our residence, when we saw this beside the parking lots- and how do we know to take these things seriously? check it out:

WARNING

Visitors loading/unloading stuff... wait a min.. what's that?? *closer look*



HUH?? is that seriously....


Dude!!!
so hear ye, hear ye, when a sign says beware, HEED!

So after we confirmed our booking, we had a little time to kill before we could bunk in, and Tampin happened to be the nearest town for lunch- by this time Yew Jinn and Jon had arrived and we met at the entrance to head over. According to our intel..

This place has the best 'chap fan' a.k.a Mixed Rice.



waht chu looookin aht?


Get the table! with all smiles :)


Glad to sit down for makan!


Yew Jinn can launch a punch from anywhere! *fades*

***

After a hearty lunch, we made our way back to the resort.... and to 1201!


Checking out the view

Evidently exicited campers!


Yeah!

Bright and Cozy!


View from above!


JON BOMB!

So we chilled out and took our time enjoying the place and just settling down and resting while we mingled and did things like......

Taking hostages and making demands.
(we will deny any terrorist affiliations whatsoever)



Facing the music and having fun ;)


Checking out the Minibar Menu and filling in the fridge!...


With lotsa food!



Chillin out with a read~


Lots of card games!


and just enjoying the big beds!
(can you spot the Mich?!)


Afterwards we headed to the small pond and went paddling!
(one of my fav scenic shots!)


After losing our legs to paddling... we drove back :P


And started to prepare the food...


Jamming to house music...


Mixing fun and work...


Almost going NuTs waiting.....


....Posing for photos....!


....Before Feeding Time!! *flurry of chopsticks*


The food was slightly more than enough, and anyone who wants a free Milo can just pop by my place anytime- i'll make you one personally :) Haha, as stuffed as we were, we could always fit a little more, a little more! and not to mention out personal soft drink selection!
(yup we beat the mini bar by milesssss)


Simon and Jon 'chilling'!


Wiping the table while holding the soft drink
(speed capture!)


Very thirsty people!


Smile/'Ho ah!'(Good ah!)
(products are for advertisement purposes only)



We had quite a time, eating, talking, eating, drinking, eating, sharing.. man... most of us knocked out, but some of us could still keep it up and even had our singing session. (Daniel wants to YouTube us.) After we surprise celebrated Rick's birthday (he din even know it was him!)


Prayers for the birthday boy!
(Mich's magical appearance)



We even had a real crazy time playing a card game with confusing names!! (only YewJinn, Simon, Daniel, Rick, Michelle were left besides me)Basically we had to call out names representing someone to dump our cards on them- highest no. of cards loses! if your reaction is bad, you're done for... like... for one round we had bible books: Genesis, Deuteronomy, Chronicles, Philemon, Ecclesiastes, Nehemiah.

you end up with...

Ecc*^$^#&%ss!!
Philem-oniah!!
Hon-eyi-miah!!
wait, wait, WaIt WAIT!!!
(includes *clawing action* from daniel to stop opponent)

Haha!! we had loads of laughter n fun :)





After that, most people went to bed, awaiting another morning, and the second day of the trip!



I woke up to this view :)


My one hour cram-sleep-bed!



8.00am

Enjoyed the longest sleep!

Sleeping in...



After packing and multiple wake up calls... we managed to check out and get ready to leave for our day event, visiting Melaka town itself!

We were here!




Giant Powerpuff Girls Clogs!


we meet.. again!



The river in all its modern splendor.






And we finally arrived for lunch- Chicken Rice balls and lotsa chik'n!



After lunch, we suddenly realised 2 members of the group were missing.. so we summoned the 'Finger of Shirley' to point them out- sure enough, we found them!




We planned to go for dessert, so we trekked our way to a humble little shop called Donald and Lily's- to search for some Cendol and shade.

The back of the shop, old style kitchens-



Just in time for some Cendol without 'cendol'!
There was some disappointment there, but everyone was glad for the refreshment :)


Ready to RuMbLe!!
and sure enough, the road side shops had plenty of trinklets and somewhat unusual assortment of things on sale..



D-Yen Lee with.. nunchuks??



Simon I-know-Kenshin, with the side stance



Death to the enemies of the Empire!



And the uncle (who sells tamagochi too) demonstrating a six-shooter 'lastik' gun.
Weapons Engineering!



After a shopping spree and getting more foodstuff like pineapple tarts, egg tarts, a lot of other tarts.. we circled around town... trying to gather back in the crowded streets (some of us forgot it was Vesak, thus the crowds.)

If I remember correctly, where part of the museum is (I went there a long time ago)



A distant shot of the big-turning-view-Melaka-device!


We gathered back at one of the perhentian's along the highway to exchance passengers and luggage, saying our byes till we could meet up again~


On the Road back
The Sun's set
Gears aligning..
Back on Track!

Well, that was quite a summary of events- I guess everyone brought back something from the trip, in their own unique ways :) Photos say a thousand words, but some things unspoken can never be beaten! Hope you all had fun reading this entry, and oh, did I forget to mention?


"What happens in Melaka, stays in Melaka"!
but we carry the memories with us :)

Till we can go somewhere else again then!
