After the 3rd Wave concert featuring Brian Joo and former U-KISS member Alexander on the 15th of October, FGA KL is organising another follow-up concert, specially for non-christians to enjoy :)

This time, the concert will feature local artistes namely Juwita Suwito and Busco!

Anyone who is interested but do not know how to get there, kindly leave a comment :)

Matthew 17:20 Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

So here's a simple prayer - for our CG's prayer project with Beatrice being my partner :)

Father God,

I pray that every person in YC will be able to invite at least one non-christian friend. I pray that we will all be persistent, and not simply take "no" for an answer. At least one friend will do, and I pray that You'll work your miracle onto that one person. I pray for thousands of non-christians to come and experience your greatness O Lord.


I pray for the salvation of each and every one of them, I pray that You'll touch them in ways they can never imagine. Lord, I pray that You'll break down any barriers and walls around their hearts, and that they will experience Your joy, Your love and Your peace.

And Lord, I pray for good weather on the 5th of November so everyone can attend the concert, without any trouble. I also pray for the organising committee O Lord, and especially for Anand who is the head and chairman of the committee. I pray that You'll grant them good health and strength to be able to get everything in order.

I also pray that the technical and sound system will go well on that day, that there won't be any glitches and everything will go smoothly. I pray for the artistes Juwita and Busco O Lord, I pray that You'll give them good health, and use them in mighty ways. I pray for Pastor Rose who is going to be the speaker on that day, I pray that Your annointing will pour down on her as she speaks.

Last but not least, I pray that the concert will be a highly enjoyable event for everyone. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN!

Mango pickles are love

My generous neighbour gave us a bag of mangoes the other day. Since they're kind of bland, mom decided to make mango pickles.

Mango pickles are extremely healthy, and easy to make!

1. Slice the mangoes according to preferred thickness. (For me, I prefer it thin because it's quite hard to chew on when it's a few mm thick.)

2. Marinate it with salt, then wash the salt off.

3. Sprinkle sugar to taste.

4. Leave it in the refrigerator for the sugar to absorb into the mango slices.
The mango pickles will have more flavour if the mango itself is sour. If not, perhaps try adding a few cili padis in, for a hint of spiciness.

Take it as a snack, rather than chips and cookies :p Yummeh!

Freezing for the environment

In response to the global Moving Planet movement, Green Grenades organised a freeze mob to create awareness of the arising climate crisis and promote an environmental friendly lifestyle.

Basically, a freeze mob is when a large number of people gather in a public area and freeze in whatever stance they like, for a few minutes before quickly dispersing from the place.

Photobucket

The event was on 24th of September, and the freezers were gathered at the freezing point which is the entrance to Orange Atrium for a final briefing, time synchronization and registration at 4 pm.

Photobucket

Green Grenades prepared small cards and cardboards that hav messages written on them, for the freezers to be shown when they freeze. The messages consisted of fighting for environmental causes such as recycling, carpooling, global warming etc. The public also signed petitions to improve our public transport in order to reduce carbon dioxide emission.

Photobucket

The freezers were asked to gather at the concourse area and start freezing when Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling was played at exactly 5pm.Photobucket

In action :)

There were a group of people planking! Aww planking is like the easiest way to freeze right? :P Photobucket

But still, it's cool!

Yeap, freezing. You can't really see them freezing in pictures though haha.

I like how it rhymes :)

After the freeze, everyone was scrambling for a huge group photo.

The event was a successful one. I hope more freeze mobs would be organised in the near future. AND THIS TIME I WILL FREEZE. I didn't freeze cuz I was taking photos, for my blog :(
