crystal hill near genting... highly recommend for whose who enjoy hiking...^^

This few days had been d holidays i longed for..
wow... realising that i really didn't have such a holiday for so long d...

This Wesak holiday... i been going hiking with my Puchong's new church members, genting and also with CF members to Melaka..

i got shared my 1st KL's service during last few blogs..
where i really can't adapt myself 2 d environment there..
It's jx so grand n jx feel "alient"ed ..

then i tried attending a smaller church recommended by my friend, Jici...
It's Puchong's 宣道堂....

furthermore, her relatives which some i know almost all there..
actually this is d second time i attending the service there after my 2009 CNY where i stayed at uncle David's home during d festival..

so, feeling quite warm meeting all of them again..

i felt so glad that i could be there n feeling like can mix with them well od though it's 1st time meeting most of the ppl there...
find the sense of belonging there...

the feeling jx like already knowing them for a long time d...
it's jx so coincidentally that the pastor's couple there from Sibu though he's not there that day...

n many members also come from sibu 2...
it's jx feel like familiar n comfort when u met ppl fr hometown
sharing the same dialect...
it's jx like i been in my hometown...

yeah... n my exciting hiking experience at crystal hill near genting..

that fri morning, i woke up as early as 4am... n fetched by my fren's cousin by 4.40am...
what a sleepy time ya.. d time ppl sleeping like piggy...
then, all together 13 members (including pastor's wife, only 2 students including me, the rest are the working adults)
we enjoying a precious time 2gether...

we started to have a prayer 1st then started to climb by 6am like that and managed to see the scene of the sunset on the hill's way, enjoying the beauty of the mother nature of the only creator, enjoying the fellows' interaction..

according to a member that had been to d Kinabalu...
the journey is as challenging as that 1...
so he told us that we "graduated" after this and could start our next target to Kinabalu then..^^

the pastor's wife really "geng" where she managed to finish her hiking without giving up..
n we really admire her...
they kept telling joke that she would be younger by 5 yrs after this...

and herself humurously told that then she want to hike few more times then she will be more younger many 5 yrs.. ^^
we just enjoyed the jokes so much among ourself during the hiking...

along the journey,
the way was just not easy, we had been gone through the six small up and down hills, and fully using all created bodies' parts to complete our mission, from the arms, fingers, foots, toes, knees, legs and even our buttocks...
certain journey will just s0 dangerous where u jx can't look down, if falling then.....OO.

Thanks Lord for leading us throughout the journey...
Thanks god that the weather was so fine, no rain no slippery ground..
so we all able to complete our mission after 4 hours by 10am like that as well.. ^.^

i prayed deep inside my heart calling HIS name along the journey as for a safe journey...

I experienced most when felt so insecured when we just couldn't see the mark on stone or jx couldn't see the things below, couldn't't stand/find a place to rest on the limestone where we opted to use rope to climb over it..
we just can have faith, solely relying on the instruction of our team's leader to rest our foot on the stone... n relying on the strength of the rope to cope for our weight without theoritically considering of how much d tension can d rope withstand... what an exciting experience..

i believe that most ppl also felt secured in the same way only when they can see with their naked eyes, touching by their own...
it's jx like the faith we have in Lord, though can't see HIM, we still believe in HIM...
Isn't that wonderful? we just believe in him without relying on our own strong conceptual, self or logic thinking... that's the faith....

Praise to our Lord.... ^^

when enjoying the beauty of the sunset, we just don't hesistate and shouted at the top of our voice at the half way like the mad dogs, haha... still felt funny...
when we enjoying the another special scene where it's really a contradict, where we saw the mother nature beautiful scene on the left side and another right side of the artificial human-made scene, showing the urbanization developed KL city

A member, Sarah immediately told that it's just like Jesus in the bible, where Satan's temptation by bringing him to the highest of the hill and showing him the glory city and offer him the goodness of the world just want HIM to knee it yet Jesus refused to do, HE know HE is the son of heavenly father...
Can we really act like HIM especially when we're in the worldly temptation?

tried to notice the different scenes behind us...it's different.. it's really awesome..

the view of d RHS...

the view of LHS....

throughout the day,
chatted with pastor's wife a lot 2..
coincidentally pastor 刘德裕牧师 and her wife
once upon a time also from SIB church, b4 that had been serviced in Miri n Bintulu..
n oso been in my church for 8 month period when i was eleven...
n my previous piano's teacher in church is pastor's niece some more...
what a small world..

oops... nope .... should feel thanksful for contacting me with this church

After the hiking,
we went to walk around at genting, and having lunch there...
since i still a undergraduate... i been treated for a delicious meal..
wanna express my gratitude here to the kind generous host...thx so much... ^^
and it's my 2nd time to genting and 1st time entering the casino inside...

n together with other church members and also pastor's wife... that's funny...

inside d casino..
seeing the ppl gamble with their sweat, blooding money

like throwing $$ into the sea... and so lost...

the probabilities of winning was so small where the whole casino computerised controling system

surprisingly saw many grannies there also...

that's the place resulted in broken families, losing lives, greediness, addiction, lost in direction, source of sin condemnation...
ppl seens so stupid, still, ppl wanna bet to stand even a slim chance for a good luck, great returning...

greediness and purposeless, driven them just wanna doing something to fulfill the their emptiness... how pity...

like seeing the scene of ppl just non-stop jumping into an endless hole...

it seems like Lord wanna to warn me that never carry on a purposeless life...
