I just came back from Planetshakers Conference Malaysia. I expected something and i did came back with something. I expected this conference to have an impact in my life and there is. I learned lotsa things. It's really cool cos i get to see the main band, the actual Planetshakers team. it's alot better than the one Kuching got (duh!). Ps Matt Garner was there! haha... The cute Aussie pastor. anyway, it's an amazing trip cos i get to meet new friends and some old friends. Turns out Wilson was in the same flight as us! Really glad to be able to meet an old friend again. and oh, Crystal's brother, Ian was there too! With Wilson around, things will not get boring.
Conference was awesome! THere were many pastors speaking. To name them- Ps. Neil Smith, Ps. Matt Fielding, Ps. Chad Harding, Ps. Matt Garner, Ps. Mervin Jayaseela and one more, something Geerling. I chose worship and Moving in the Holy Spirit as my electives. Worship was led by Henry Seeley. He's a great worship leader and yah, i got lotsa tips from him. The drummer, Mark Webber also was there to answer our questions. I didn't really take note of what he was saying cos instead of listening, i was amazed by his really low voice. haha...i've never heard such a low voice before! Moving in The Holy Spirit was taken by Ps. Mervin Jayaseela. This one really left a great impact. He speaks in such a gentle manner yet his message is like a double edged sword! i say this because his message makes you wana repent. and i did. he said something bout our rooms reflects our spiritual life. thinking of my room, i have to say that he's right! my room was in a mess and it did reflect my spiritual life. my spiritual life was really at a very low state. I can't share everything that i've learned cos there's really so many!
NIght sessions is for concert and the concert is free. One thing i hate bout the concert is that because it's free, there's lots of people. Lotsa people means congestion, congestion means there's some darned uncivilised people pushing at the back. Those people don't understand that this is a Christian concert. Another thing that annoys me is that the people who were pushing were GIRLS. IDIOTIC GIRLS!! The organisers specifically said that they cannot run nor push but still, there were people who ran and pushed. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH?? most annoying of all, it was KL people who did this not KUCHING people. i guess my expectations of KL people is too high. it seems that Kuching people are more civillised than they are, smarter than they are because we know how to listen to instructions. in my point of view, KL kids are too smart to even listen to instructions cos they SO SMART mah, they think they smarter than the organisers . and another thing, they should have given priority to those who attend the conference because the concert IS a part of the conference. those are the bad part of the concert itself. now, let's talk bout the good part. speakers were amazing! even though we sang almost the same songs every night, we left the building fired up every night. it's not about the music, it's about God. the last night was the best! i believe everyone received the gift of speaking in toungues that night. i already knew how to speak in toungues before this but that night, i knew how to use it more effectively. The Holy Spirit really moved that night and the fire of God was tangible. Awesome!
Honestly, no words can really describe this conference. When the Holy Spirit fills you, the feeling is just that 'amazed' feeling. and another thing, i really hate KL now. the food sucks, the people sucks and the fashion sense......makes you gag! KL is a place where most teenagers are driven by peer pressure and most of them are fashion victims. everyone (mostly teens) are trying to keep up with one another and that's why KL have fashion victims and don't realise it at all. for those of you who wish to go and LIVE in KL, don't wish it, you'll hate it. Once you're there, you'll thank God for Kuching even though it's not very developed as KL but the peace and the laid back atmosphere is truly none like no other. No wonder Sarawak is called a 'place like no other'. there is no place like it! Kuching isn't all that bad lah. i really appreciate Kuching after travelling to KL so many times. before this conference, i went kl 2 weeks ago and that's insane! i didn't like my stay because i was at KL, i liked my stay because i was with Kuching people and i was there for a beneficial cause, not just to shop. i will never want to study in KL. NEVER!! but if i have no choice, i'll go. i wanna study in Australia but that means i need excellent results. if that's what it takes, i'll do it!
