The very mention of McDonald’s Breakfast should ring a bell in us but certainly not KFC Breakfast. In fact, when Em suggested to have KFC breakfast, I don’t even know what they offer. Anyway, Em and I decided to give it a try.
I ordered the a.m Platter meal while Em went for Waffles & Eggs meal. Unlike all McDonald breakfast meals, the KFC Waffles & Eggs meal does not come with harsh brown. But of cos, the meal is much cheaper.

Waffles & Eggs Meal
Personally, I prefer McDonald’s hotcakes than KFC waffles. As for the platter meal, I think it is not bad and we love the honey biscuit. :) However, both the coffee and tea taste weird :( Or maybe it is just me. Haha
On the whole, I would give 3.5 out 5 for the platter meal and rating of 2 for the waffle meal.
This afternoon, I opened up one of the letters in my mailbox and this is what I received. It is the invitation card for my convocation and it is going to be on 8 October 2009, Thursday 10am – 1230pm at SIM Clementi Road :)
Anyway, I am not so ecstatic over the convocation ceremony but this invitation card certainly brings to me the remembrance of God’s goodness upon my life this entire year. Read about my entry in February and you will know what I mean.
8 months have passed and I have not only graduated from SOT but also had the privilege to preach during the graduation ceremony. Also, I finally graduated from my degree programme despite a slight hiccup at the start of the year. I didn’t pass my CFA but I am going to give another shot.
Knowledge is power and I strongly believe in continuous learning. I am already contemplating about pursuing a masters degree in the next 1 or 2 years.
For my career, I am still waiting patiently but I know God will provide. It will come according to His timing and not mine and I just have to trust Him :)
Let me end this post with an interesting and encouraging quote:

who keep shooting”.

SOT Graduation Dinner
Another outdated post and I am sure many of you have read about my graduation service at my wife’s blog. Hehe… Anyway, prior to the graduation service, we had our graduation dinner at Keppel Club. We had our games, drama, food and not forgetting the Mr & Ms Charisma competition. It was a good gathering for all the students as SOT came to a close.

SOT Graduation Service
Those that had been to my wife’s blog would know that I was given the opportunity to preach to about 8,000 people during the graduation service. More importantly, my mum came to church for the 1st time and I believe this is the first step of her coming to know God :) She even commented that the church is very big and nice.
Back to my preaching, actually I was very excited and nervous when I was selected to preach during graduation service. Behind the 7 minutes sermon is 3 nights of sleeplessness. Special thank goes to Pastor Bobby who sacrificed his sleep to guide me on my sermon and preaching. Also thank to my ZS, Edmund who really taught me how to preach ever since I became a leader.
Looking back, I never regretted the decision to quit my job to go SOT. I learnt a lot, experienced a lot and the love for God has increased ever more. Like what I had preached, the graduation is not the end, but the beginning of something new and exciting that God has prepared! Keep on keeping on!!!
Ending of with my favourite photo :)
My final entry on my Malang mission trip and as promised, it is about FOOD!!! I know my blog has been lagging behind. Sometimes I am just too lazy to blog and personally, I prefer to tweet than to blog as it is so much easier with my iphone. Nonetheless, hope you people don’t mind my outdated posts… hehe… I promise I will be more prompt in future.
1st day breakfast. This is not Nasi Lemak. I cant remember the name but it tastes awesome!!!
This is like rice mixed with herbal soup and the red and white syrup on the right is something you must try. It is called Soda Gembira (which is soda with condensed milk). Indonesian version of Bandung. Only difference is that it is fizzy!!!
On the top left hand corner is a famous Indonesian dish called Bakso. It is similar to Singapore’s Yong Tau Foo with ingredients like tofu, meatballs and vegetables but the soup is very rich and yummy!!! On the top right hand corner is Tehbotol, a bottled tea commonly found in Indonesia.
Personally, I love Indonesian food a lot. All the food taste great and we have no complaints. On our way back, we even bought back IndoMie. It tastes so much better than the Singapore’s version. :)
We wasted no time the next day as we got up early and went to minister in a church in the village. There was a mighty move of God and the presence of God was so strong that many cried as we laid hands on them.
What Sandy was holding in her hand is a praise and worship album by the church. Small church but yet God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things!!!

Next up at Bethany which I was asked to teach the youth leaders on the caring system. After the session was over, we had Q&A which the youths really asked me a lot of questions. Thank God I was able to answer them. :)
Teaching the youth and ministry leaders in Bethany
In summary, this is my first time on a mission trip and it was really a great experience. Pastor Ming always tell us in the bible school “If you want to go mission trip, go to those villages and countries that are poor.” Reason is because you get to preach and experience things not found in Singapore.
One thing I learnt from this mission trip is greater spiritual hunger for God. The people there did not have a lot of materials, great speakers and facilities we had in Singapore but yet it was always so easy for them to experience God. The moment they worship God, the presence of God will be so strong. They kneel and weep so easily simply because of the great love for Jesus.
Question I asked myself “Do I encounter God every single day?”
