Oh, the joy!

Yay! Manchester United are the champions for both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. Too bad I couldn't catch the match live, but watched video snippets of the match and I could tell it was an invigorating match. Poor Terry :(

Back from the bugs-infested Taman Negara. Although we met a series of unfortunate events on our way there, God still proved to be the ultimate Provider. If we don't lean on Him nor pray to Him for help, what else can we do? Thank God for His mercy and grace, nonetheless.

Anyway, it was nice sleeping 3 nights to the orchestral lullaby of the crickets and many other bugs from the nearby forest, swimming in the clean waters by the waterfalls, walking at the canopy level of the rainforest, enjoying the picturesque view from the peak of the hill etc. Most importantly, it was a great time spent knowing more about God's Word, and having sweet fellowship with the Campus pple and even making new friends. The bus ride home was filled with lame jokes and games, and I especially liked the 'noisy game' which Wei-tse taught.

Ohh, I forgot to mention something. The food which the people served were really good! My personal favourites were the snakehead fish and cat fish. So fresh and yummy! We were served chicken and fish almost every day though, but they cooked it in different styles and sauce so it wasn't really a bother. The last day's breakfast was GREAT. Roti prata (roti canai in M-Sia), beehoon and curry sauce. I miss the food there. I was also surprised by the service of the people. They were so friendly, and ever-ready to top-up our food when we requested for more. Despite the many many bugs which I was quite afraid of, I would definitely wanna go back again for a time of relaxation and rest. It's a different kind of life altogether, and it was definitely a good break from a lousy semester - the kind of break I have been looking forward to ever since the semester began.

Now it's back to the hustle and bustle of life.

So many things to do and think about.
