ACTSposure Trip To ACTS Church, Subang Jaya, KL

report by: .szeyuen

HEY PEOPLE! missed me?

(i went to kl.)

lol...so yeah, a team of us: ps. victor, a. rama, leroy, kutu, andrew, james, jin ji, khaihern, maril, sharon, mingyen and i went on an ACTSposure trip to ACTS church, Subang Jaya.

i was all ACTScited the whole week before and couldnt shut up abt it. my poor classmates. and happily, i wasnt proven wrong! the minute we arrived, we were greeted by Miss Sarah Foong and Mr. Schaeffer Tan who gave us goodie bags! i felt so loved. hehe. there was lotsa junks in there and even the itinery! (the program, juz so u know XD)

so we left central zone around 9 in the morning and arrived in Subang Valley Hotel around 2.30 pm. stopped at tapah for pastor's dunkin donuts and apparently kfc (which actually was on the other side, meaning we only get to eat it on the way back). 

now let me tell u smtg...sitting in a van with CERTAIN ppl for 5 + hours is torture. especially when they keep on quoting timon and pumbaa. it stopped being funny after 10 repeats. LOL.

the only relief was when they slept (though it was only half an hour, sob sob!). 

JOKING LA. don emo on me k, person-who-sang-in-the-van. XD

so yeah. the hotel was really really small and cheap and we expected it to really be a motel but guess wat! it was super, awesomely GRAND! small, but like a mini Ritz or Hilton. 

(the Hilton KL looks so ugly. seriously. XD)

after we reached, we hung out in our rooms watching creepy french movies on our flat screen TV and vaining with the mirrors until abt 5.30pm. of course we showered. LOL. then ps. andy and a few team members took us out for satay.

at first thought, we ACTSpected kajang satay which is the famous one. BUT BUT after eating the ampang satay, i didnt wanna come back to pg. lol. the kambing was really melt-in-your-mouth fantastic! and the nasi lemak...wow. small and WHOO! XD 

we then stopped outside klcc to take pics (WHICH ARE COMING LATER WHEN I GET ALL OF THEM) and then headed to Stephen's to have cheese naan. who says kl doesnt have nice food. u juz gotta search the hidden roadside stalls.

our theory is that the dirtier the place, the better the food! haha.

later, full and satistfied, we headed back to the hotel for prayer and some games! haha. taboo rocks. especially with us nonsense firebrands, everything can be ANYTHING! besides, malaysians play taboo very well. our version of english is easier to describe LOL.

sleep was good. sleep is ALWAYS good.

in the morning we woke before 8 to wash up, then quiet time with God first thing in the morning. at 9, we headed for breakfast at the nearby mamak. good food too...though highly pocket-emptying. lol.

service started at 11. the minute we walked in the place, we were greeted like famous celebrities! after being given more goodie bags, we went to sit down. service was phenomenal. i love ps. kenneth's preaching.  and the ppl there r so supportive and ACTScited abt God. during worship, they really don care if they're embarassing themselves. "God is God; who cares abt u??" lol.

after service we went to the World Map in the back to join the teens in their weekly/monthly (?) HOMES (cellgroup) reports. MORE GOODIE BAGS and interesting reports later, we were hungry enough to eat a horse. we then headed to Carl's Jr. 

all the sensory goodness in a burger. seriously. all the money gone to burger too. lol. but good stuff. that was in sunway piramid, where we also shopped for lil' gifts for our gracious hosts. the ones we met personally of course. =)

then on to the evening service, which was abt the same. XD dinner was free - mutton, mutton, mutton! then back to the hotel room for debriefing before supper at old taste cafe. ACTSactly like old town ACTScept for the cutlery and name. 

then, it was games time. but we were all so sleepy so the guys described the word and we guessed. apparently we sucked at making up stories? whatever. lol

next morning, quiet time again before we headed to the curve for more shopping. spent abt an hour searching for a place to eat before we decided to eat korean noodles. 

jin ji ordered some spaghetti which came with powdered cheese in a bottle, and im sure the restaurant ppl regretted it. lol. when it came it was newly opened. when we left not a single speck was left. we literally ate it with everything! soup and curry and ramen and wtv. lol.

then it was rush-through-ikea time before we vroom-ed back to pg. stopped in tapah for kfc and pastor's addiction (dunkin donuts) and then it was all the way to our beloved island! stopped to drop kutu in autocity, james in his house, leroy, mingyen, and khaihern in tesco and maril in her house before sharon and i were left at church. 

the ACTSceptional ACTSperience taught us MUCH!

AND THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES.

"Why??"

"When he was a young warthog!"

"When I was a young warthog!"

yeah. we rock. XD
