So happen to stop by the blog and found out what shaun has written is truely inspiring. I wonder always and ask could just if He could turn back the time to these good old days. Wouldn't reliving it be good? Now we could only reminisce the times we had. Oh well. let me share my memories with you.
My history wasn't as long as shaun's. Just a very short one. Barely 2 years i guess. I firstly didn't even know the existance of ISCF until i was elected to help out in SMI christian fellowship. You can call me a noob or anything but seriously, i didn't trust it would work the way it has been. Differences has already set it apart. So when Kar Mun (SMI cf president 08/09) ask me to go for ISCF meeting, i was like cool why not? Then got to meet new faces like shaun, shas etc. etc.
And for the camp for 2008, i was ask to be a helper in the camp. I was pratically the telephone operator for most of the campers. Your parents phone me first before directing them to you guys. I know it's hard to get a line in the campsite.
The camp went on as a start of a revival to most of us, a really life changing and eye opener to me. I am more committed and on fire to serve than before. Mini revolutions and stuff like that. CF in most of the school just grew bigger than ever before. Fridays was like the happening day.
We serve God like what the prophet Joel in the bible prophecied. Prayers has been happening in school every morning. Kudos to those who participated especially those in Anderson who woke up and prayed at 5am in the morning before school.
As the transition went by from 2008 to 2009, it was time to pass the baton in ISCF. The next in line was serene. During the time, 2008 iscf camp was the benchmark and most of us wanted it better. Shaun, me and serene took the first steps, which is prayer. Three of us gathered to seek God first and like a jigsaw puzzle, things started to piece together. People start coming in. Things started to happend. So we had mamak gathering, pasar malams, outing and even an overnite prayer in vineyard church. .
In the camp 2009 was even greater than before. You people are like so crazy for God like never before seen. I can see that with God nothing is impossible. There are some setbacks in the camp but God is always gracious to carry us through. You people even requested for a gathering after the camp and we managed to do it at Jenny's house (thank you jenny =) ).
Finally, it was for each of us to go separated ways. Time to pass the baton to the younger generation. Sad though it may seem but it was truely a great memory. To some you might have grown cold and revert back to when you were before. To others you might have lose heart and lost your faith. To some others, you might be serving everstronger. Whatever it is,if you ever lose heart or lose fatih in yourself and God, lose the Consuming fire burning in your hearts, look back to these two years. How God has blessed you. You have planted and water the seeds in Ipoh by the time you spend in prayer, with bruise knees and lots and lots of tears.
I still do get news from Ipoh. RECESS revolution, High praise.. these are the things you guys have paved ways for through the two years of interceding and praying for Ipoh. YOU ARE PART OF IT knowningly and unknowningly.
I wouldn't mind actually if we could once again gather for fellowship, as for thanksgiving for what God has done. It would just be too awesome. You people have been a blessing to me and i thank you all for that. And whatever you do, seek God first and he will prosper you along the way until you overflowth.=)
Blessed,

Its been a long time
Just hope someone still visit this blog, its been dead for a year. This is just a small tiny revive. Anyways, its been a long time since anyone here last posted, but thats not important anymore. This post here is not about any of the inspirational post. Just a personal post from me. Again, i don have a specific title of it, just some randomly important information or whatever u may call.
I will just start how we started by iscf. I don have a specific term to name the group, to me this is not a club, society, youth group or a church. More like family, but not just a family(sorry for the confusion). Anyways, i still remember 3 years ago, that was 2007 few weeks before my spm. By that time my old fren shas (who was the leader) came back from KL and started his form6 around that time before the exams. Some of u might not know, iscf has been existed for quite sometime, just that it disbanded and revive back again a few times. Currently i don know what happen to iscf now(the present), heard from some people that is already disbanded due to some reasons. Back to the point, so i was discussing with shas to start back iscf and we did 2 weeks after the discussion of our 1st meeting somewhere around september 2007.
That time the group was still very small, just few of us. Shas,karmen, charis, wendy and myself. I still remember the 1st meeting we did nothing more, just praying for vision. It was wonderful, as months went by, this group began to increase. Though i left for college on january, but my heart was still with this group very much, i come back for meeting whenever and however i can. Prior to that, the camp was intiated(that was for yacf camp 08), we formed the committees though some already left, but i still remember the time we had worked together. And this how the family grew.
Up to now, sometimes when i got free time i will just view some of the blogs that posted about their experinces in camp on 08 and 09. Is not so much about the camp, is about the time we spent together in 8 days. Friendships were built, some of the guys had some crush, etc etc. And very sorry for those who are not fitted in this family, maybe u belong somewhere, i don know, again thats not important. Its been great knowing everyone of u. Now some of u guys are my best frens i ever had, i still keep in touch with u guys(sorry for those who are not,i only can focus a few at the same time).
Iscf had/has been the great part of me during 08/09. Part of me still live there and part of me still died there(not sure whether is still alive or not). I still remember at the end of the year 08 and 09. U guys are the only companions i have, where i hang out with u guys the most occasionally and frequently. I didnt go back to my formal church due to my 1 church policy and lotsa things about it that i don wish to go back. There u guys were, some of u still with me. I appreciate that, i am glad that i am part of your life, hopefully now still is, u guys actually took away my boredoms, U might not know up to now i got nothing left in ipoh. The only reason why i still wanna go back to ipoh during 08 and 09 was mainly because of my family. Thats all i have left there, nothing much, partly of the food as well :-) But besides that, there were u guys still in ipoh, thats the big bonus and another main reason which gave me the reason to go back. Thanks so much.
I don know about u guys how u all feel, but to me that was everything at the moment. The pasar mlm time, sometimes lunch outing,sleepover,party and prayer meeting(was during 2008, intiation for the camp 09). It was fantastic, there was the bond still link(i don know about now). And ya, the caroling for christmas.
What i wanna say, things might have change, sometimes is painful for the memory to live on and is very hurt to hear that iscf is dead(just my assumption). Currently, im in elsewhere, still reflect back about the time alot. Is hurt at the same time is joyful. Significant moments still live on and will forever live on. I do realize some of u have changed alot that including me. But lotsa things i still cherish which was and is forever the same. End of this year(2010), not gonna be in Ipoh, will spend time here, not gonna spend time with u guys anymore.gonna be working, is actually the 1st time for so long that u guys are not here with me for my holiday. But what is the most significant at the same time heart breaking is the memory. I don think i gonna be any happier than be with u guys (whoever u are).
Thanks for letting me be part of your life and to those who made my days in ipoh wonderful and awesome [u guys know who u are :-)] I haven't been so expressive, everyone has their 1st. God bless u guys, to those who having problems and troubles, He is watching, something is wrong doesnt mean is wrong all the way. Continue to trust Him, ever feel like slacking just know when to come back and know how to stand back up.
