Wonderful weekend @ Konstanz

Chicken chicken chicken... Cute cute cute!

I really like this design. See there're words on the wall? It's not projectiled, but it's what we call application of physic - Light absorbtion principle.

The steamboat...

Me playing guitar. Can consider to join the "Jiwang" group LoL.

I am still learning - learn how to take a nicer photo

It has been a tiring weekend. It has been yet another record week for me. It has been another weekend that I really felt exhausted. It has been another weekend that I very happy with. It was a weekend that was very relaxing, enjoying, being myself, my laughter, my life.

..Day 1..

A sum of last week gave me a sigh. Lectures that I didn't understand. I fell asleep unwilling in Grundlagen Technischen Zeichnen. I did not want to, I did not mean to. Sigh. Anyway, I spent a whole dreadful Thursday afternoon watching over my beloved watch, just to see the time seconds by seconds ticked away. At last, 1530pm! I picked up my bag, half-running back to my hostel. I couldn't wait. A weekend mini-trip!

I packed up my stuffs and ran to bus stop. Due to some unpunctuality of the bus, I missed my train. So need to wait at Train station. I bought a birthday car for Ah Pau. People were 21 years old. I'm still 19. Swt. Can't wait to taste the sensation of changing from 20-21. Will be very meaningful, aye?Anyway, Pau's birthday was celebrated at KFC. Yes, there is one at Untertürkheim. Heilbronn don't have, luckily. Anyway, it was a fun day.

..Day 2..

The next day I did nothing but starring in front of my laptop that I brought along. Hoping to chat to some of people. People who I care and appreciated, and love. Sadly, NONE of them replied. Anyway, thank you, Ah Yu, for accompaniying me throughout the lonely morning and afternoon. After that, we had brief dinner and went to church. We had small prayers and talked about FreundeKries. We had an evening service, and we overnighted once again in church. I like overnighting in church. A place where I can really lay down and rest.

..Day 3: Konstanz Missionary Trip..

We were supposed to depart at 6.30am, but thanks to me, we departed at 7.00am. Sigh. Reached Konstanz around 9.30am and were welcomed by "Andersen's brother". He' just a senior who currently doing Diplomarbeit (if not mistaken) at Friedrichshafen. His name is Zhang Zi, but I gave him that name because he really looked like Andersen of ALG11 =.= I really thought he is his brother. Anyway, went in the common kitchen room and were welcomed by Kie Yee, who was preparing breakfast for us. After our stomach was filled with food, we went to the hostel's special room, especially for Christianity activities. We sang some songs and played some musics with guitar. Then Steffen, our church leader, gave us talk about the vision of the church. It was supposed to be 4 2-hours sessions, but was summarized into 2 hours. Although it was just brief, but we, especially Daniel and me, got to know the vision of the church. Then we went for lunch and went to watch the aweful Arsenal vs limpy Liverpool. Sorry not to insult these both teams, but that match was quite tensed and didn't look nice at all.

Then we had football session. In the end, I think I scored only a goal. But the pain from the badminton competition in Ulm is still taking its toll on me. Pain. Tired. Then we went for a steamboat dinner! Home-made of course, and I really enjoyed the session. We learnt each other more, we understand others more. The food was simply amazing and nice to be in my mouth. I missed food in Malaysia. After dinner, we enjoyed playing musics. Not just Christian songs, but also some famous songs like those from Beyond, Jay Chou, Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, etc. It was a great time there. I really enjoyed the night very much. After the tiring session, we all went to sleep. I slept on the floor, hid inside a sleeping bag, which made me look exactly like a caterpillar. :)

..Day 4: Church ..

We departed at 10.30am to come back to Stuttgart, after we had our breakfast. After we came back, had some rest and lunch, then we started our Sunday Service. It was, as usual, great and Steffen gave wonderful speech and discussed just a small quote from 1 Corinthians 16:19-24:

Final Greetings

The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house. All the brothershere send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.

If anyone does not love the Lord - a curse be on him. Marana tha (Come, O Lord!)

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Just this small part in the ending of 1 Corinthians Steffen talked a lot to us. Things that I never thought of, things that I've forgotten... He reminded me. After some refreshments we had Lobpreis and after that, we set our foot back to Heilbronn.

It was indeed a great time in Konstanz. It was the second place we came, if you insisting to count Frankfurt as the first place. Anyway, it was great to return to see the sceneries once again. It looked so nice. I wonder how will it look like during summer? Heard that it would be very very nice. i wish to pay another visit there some time in the future.

I'm so excited over guitar. Can't stop myself from strumming it. Want to learn more about guitar. Started to gather some guitar chords and scores for Christians songs. Hope one day I can serve in church. A longtime planning :)

Actually I want to thank Steffen a lot too. Awhile ago I prayed to God to help me find back the reasons of my life. This and that emo posts told you I was bugged by problems, if you got follow up my blog. And God just answered my prayers by sending brother Steffen to show me the way. Now I'm really cheered up again. I found again the "Uhmm~~~" to go on my life again. Thank you, both Steffen and God. You are very magnificent. God is real, all the time :)

Well, if you are someone who care about me, love me, think of me, consider me as a friend, or whatever, if you have free time, please include me in your prayer. I am currently not fully recovered, and the badminton competition in Nice, France will take place in this coming weekend. I need to have faith in Him. I need strength. I need His strength again. I know clearly, without His help, I cannot do this alone. Me myself is not enough. Therefore, please pray for me so that I can win this competition. Dato' Seri Hishammudin Tun Hussein Onn will be there. I will have dinner with him too. I need to wear back the formal shirt that I left behind in the closet. It will surely be another wonderful memory in Germany. But ultimately, I will pray really hard and faithfully this week. I just wish that I can win this time too. Help me ya! Thank you in advance.

Pray truely for me, and I'll treat you all, like what I did last time. Haha. Just kidding. If so I'll go broke. But anyway, pray for me. It is really something that will be very meaningful in my life. Okie?
