Back In Action.. for now ;)

Hey Peeps, to those who actually find their way to my blog:

Firstly, SOOOOO sorry for not updating for so long, I know I promised to update my ywam trip which has been like over a year overdue.. and I guess some of you would probably be wondering how was NY (if you knew I was there anyway)..

In any case, I'm back again, missing the action here because of trials exams, and catching up all that I missed from college when I was away.. Exam stress.. why did I choose SAM? *sniff* anyway I've just finished my trials and am a on a one week raya break so... here I am again..

I guess some of you are wondering what happened in NY, ok I shall not be selfish and tell it as it is.. NY isn't that great.. SERIOUSLY! It is messy, dirty, full of people, buildings, cars, everything!! It's a concrete jungle out there esspecially in downtown Manhattan, the only place to breath is in Central Park, which is some greens right in the middle of a supercongested modern city. In any case I wasn't there on a holiday so I guess I'll start with my experiance in the conference I attended:
That's a view of the typical NYC
That's the UN headquarters

It was great being among so many people from all around the world praying for the UN and other world issues.. It felt like such an honour to be among world prayer leaders from like 50 other nations representating their respective countries.. Basically I was there because my parents are involved with international children in prayer, and they wanted some children intercessors, and I'm considered still a kid so.. yay! Me and my sis got together some of the kids from south africa, australia, US, egypt, canada, guatemala, and we just started praying, with no plans or anything, God just took over and we started repenting and interceeding for nations.. Amazing!

Some of the main events that happened there was having our conferences in the UN conference hall, like right in the United Nations building, surrounded by security personal and ambassadors.. syiok nya! It felt super grand like being able to sit in the same hall as all these important people.. The pic below is fake btw, (hey can't the malaysian have some fun?) SS!


That's me reading some UN development goal in front of everybody.. aiks!

Another key event was praying going for a prayer cruise and praying for manhattan city, bronx, brooklyn and other issues while cruising on a boat, with an on board worship team and people from different nations.. amazing! Also we were at ground zero (sept 11 attack scene btw) on sept 11, 2007 and just praying for that area and the people affectedThat's a view of Manhattan Island from the cruise

Ok at least I got a shot at the statue of Liberty for you guys to see.. neh..

This a shot outside ground zero after the sept 11 attacks, notice the fence behind the gifts as NY is buiding up 5 new buildings to replace the loss ground of the twin tower, this includes an even taller tower called 'freedom tower'.. crazy people.We stayed in a place called the New York School of Urban Ministry (reminds me of ywam)

You have to see NY at night...

Kids from all over the world!!

Signing of at the United Nations Headquarters (gosh I look so unprofessional!- check out the messy attire)

All in all.. it was a great trip, Praise God!








P.S- to the chocolate fans, NYC is the place where M&Ms and Hersheys headquarters are! (and that's my sister btw if you were wondering.. )
