3 more days to go.

It's coming to the end of the year.
So here it is the long awaited post.
But a word of caution, it might be long.
<->

The Big Show @ ACTS Church was a success.
No.That's an understatement.
On the 1st two runs(10am & 5pm). Both times it was pack!
3rd run, Christmas day,10am. It was overly packed.
As in people had to stand la.Serious!!
Glad that Karen,1 Wei and Sis made it.
Now aren't you glad that I invited you.

We had roughly 140 salvation responses.
Attendance? 1500+ on all 3 shows!!
Which is cool, great and awesome.
But since it's God.There are just no words to describe it.

If you aren't there, you just miss out a whole lot.
Wait for the DVD.It could be better.
<->
If I could name some of my passions, it would be CF, Media, Acting, Dance, Teens and Leadership.
I never thought I'd take leadership as a passion.
In fact, I used to shun leadership.It is something to be avoided and feared.
I'd rather be a follower and I'm damn good at that.Heh.
But my character doesn't allow that.
I strive to make changes, a voice to be heard and to be the initiative.
Ever since I came to TARC KL. There were hints of leadership around.
I made some choices.Most were taken or push away.
When I made president for the ELS. Felt like the whole world was on my shoulders.
When I became a GIG Media head. I am on a mission to take it to the next level.
When I became the Chief Editor for the CF Ed. Board. It's a whole new world.
Leadership is a solemn responsibility.
Naturally there are times when I did not get the leadership position I wanted.
I did feel hurt or sad.But these are the times when God show me what His plans are.
I'm in His peace. No matter how qualified I think I am for a position. It is God that decides.
I realize this.There was this position that I wanted really bad.
God revealed I didn't have the heart.
So it's especially important when one is in leadership, to be accountable to a more mature Christian.Usually you'll find one in your church.
Anything can go wrong when you're in leadership.
If you're don't have one yet.You have something to be worried about.
<->
Here's a check list of things I wished I got for Christmas.
1)A lot of important hardware for the PC.
2)Some cool gadgets.
3)More time with some important friends.
4)Someone I could pour out all my feelings to.
5)Someone to realize how much an ass he is and start behaving.
You're not making any easier for us to love you.
6)To have gifts for everyone I love and appreciated.
7)That someone to know what I'm thinking.
<->
If you finally got this far, congratulations.
You get to find out the exclusive news that I got Rob/Mug.
After reading this,please spare me from your questioning and spreading the news around.I appreciate people NOT coming to me and asking me how did I got mug.
It is definitely not a pleasant experience.
Here are the details.

18/12/08
Roughly close to 12am.
On the walkway along the Wangsa Maju LRT tracks.Beside a kindergarten.
That particular area is quite dark.
I got mug by 3 Malay Teens(probably aged below 15)
One of them got a kitchen knife.
2 of them held both my arms while a 3rd came and took my HP.
One of the 2 took my wallet.
They speeded off with their bike below the walkway.

So if you need to call don't worry.
My number is still the same.
Just call me and I'll save your number.
But please wait till Wed this week.

I'm alright if you're asking.
Pissed but alright.
If anyone asked, just direct them to this blog.Thx!!

<->
Hey to all my dear friends and family.
A Merry Belated Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Wishing all the best Blessings in Life.
That God'll be with you in whatever you do.
Thanks for being there for me.

Finally Back With Upgrades..

We're back again with "Once-in-a-while-Kenny's-Long-Post"
Haha..
It's been almost 2 months since my last post.
Quite few things had happened since then but only few worth mentioning.
<->

I've became the Chairman of my college's English Language Society(ELS) last week.
Surprised?
Yea me too.
Never in 10 years I'll think of myself as a Chairman of an English society.
All started cos of me intending to start a college newspaper.
Well it's yet to start so....
As for the ELS, there's lots of work to do.
Firstly notably is the society's so called Society Day booth coming this 24/05/07.
Coming soon is the college's first newspaper!!
Of cause other activities before that.
Our own ELS Orientation,a scary story telling session,a camp?, debates and so on!
Hmm..Feels like doing a advertisement now...
Well I'm sorry if its like that but i guess it's what i am now.Heh..
<->

Taking a Leadership position,sometimes i feel its like signing a devils contract.
(Ghost Rider anyone?)

You gotta perform now.
You've now got an axe over your neck.
You got eyes watching your every move.
You suddenly more self-aware.
You're hoping that decision you made was right.
You need the support of your people.
You sometimes feel all alone.
You wonder if there's someone who really understand you.
You're tempted to use that extra power.
You gonna do the next big thing.
You'll wonder what happened to your life?

You're now gonna make that important change.
You're being counted on to lead.
You're now the vision of your people.
You can change lives.
You realized there's something only you can do.
You know there's something you need to do.
You're now there to serve.

This is what i feel about leadership after year of experiencing leadership indirectly & directly.
To tell the truth, I'm not a leader by nature nor do I actively seek leadership.
The only time I'm really wiling to take up leadership is when i'm needed.
Not to say there's no suitable leaders but i guess God put leaders where they are needed.
I don't think all these year of leadership "trainings" are an accident.
Not all leaders are born leaders.Leaders are made.Some willing,some unwilling.
Saying this, doesn't mean only leaders need to learn about leadership but anyone who's ready to take on leadership if they're needed when the time comes.
When followers know leadership,they'll understand what the leader's going through.
They know the leader's decision rights and wrongs.
At least this'll lighten the leader load a bit.
Also that's how followers know why they need to follow a leader.
<->

Opps!! Did i tell you about my spanking new PC that i bought?
Its damn cool!!
Here's the specs....Next time...
<->

Exam's over for the 3rd semester.
I'm done for now until June but still i'm gonna busy myself in May.
Gonna meet printers(for our newspaper), other ELS leaders in other colleges and visit our local newspapers(The Star,The Sun,The Moon[joke],New Strait Times).
Was planning to join TARC's very own floorball team in this coming Penang tournament but looks like i'm a little bit slow in signing up.
Oh Well..This sucks a bit.
<->

I dunno why its always so late already when I finally post.
Oh well till next time.
Cya.
