..has now opened a NEW branch, at the old Choong Nam Theatre along Jalan Air Itam!
It's a small, cosy room, AIR-CONDITIONED! (of course), and instead of high-definition I-don't-know-how-many-feet screens, there's a nice li'l LCD display!
No Dolby Digital Surround Sound (hey if you take out the 'urr' our of 'Surround' you get 'Sound'!) here, but there's awesome people!
And and.
IT'S FREE!
But, sad to say, the new branch closed down after opening night.
Turns out it's a one-night-only! So, sorry if you missed it! But it was GOOD =)
*Disclaimer: the GSC part was fiction.

5 days ago, here's what we did!
Photography: Eulene and her DSLR compact camera
The eveningly-night started off as usual with BIBLE CLASS, conducted by the head conductress of all Bible classes, Eunice Lee!
And so this time Bible class was different.
Firstly, different topic.
We're now gonna commence our journey into Royal Psalms! Yep, Complaint Psalms've been covered.
And so everyone was split into pairs..
..guy-girl pairs.
And so the pairs were supposed to come up with a name, gender and sketch for an imaginary child and list down their expectations for him/her. Including marriage preferences!
After some time (we kinda went a li'l overtime actually), each pair then shared their imaginary child's details.
Okay, no, Bible class didn't go terpesong-ed!
This one was mostly about expectations, about how they're hard to live up to sometimes, like how we expect our child to be this-and-that..
..and next week onwards, we're gonna dive into Royal Psalms =)
~ (another squiggle! =O)
Right then, preservice prayer!
People having exams, and the worship team, the speaker, and the night itself =)
~ (did you know that it's actually called a TILDE?)
Service started off as usual (but it's anything but usual! different every week i'd say) with worship!
Short this week, due to the fact that sharing that night was gonna be a li'l long.
Short, but true worship indeed.
~ (tilde is pronounced as 'TIL-duh')
And so the rest of the night was all about Change Your World, a movement sweeping across Malaysia, from city to city, rallying and inspiring young people to change their worlds!
Pastor Victor facilitated, and managed to fit everything into ONE night, although it was supposed to be two separate sessions.
Sounds a bit squeezed?
I'd say it was compact, but very, very inspiring!
Among the things in the two Quests (parts/sections/bahagian):
- A 30-second debate between the fireBRANDS on two topics, i.e. How can we change the 1. public transport and 2. education system.
- What's holding us back from change? Fear, complacency, and ignorance.
- Extremely inspiring videos about young people who changed their world, aka Change Agents. Among them: A young guy who raised funds for modern-day slaves and has rallied the people around him to help out. A young girl who went backpacking in India and ended up building and founding an orphanage there, as well as enabling many children there to go to school.
- Remember, you only have one lifetime to make a significant change.
- Another video, this one detailing prostitution and refugees. This video, I think, was a real shell-shocker, something that'd make you wake up and realise that we need a change.
- And how just ONE person CAN make a big change.
The Change Your World Quests 1 and 2 were really relevant and something to inspire us and stand up, and to make a change.
Also, a few parents came that night =) and yeah, parents, your children CAN change the world! Undoubtedly!
~ (this is the last one lol)
Yep, that's how it went.
But trust me, Change Your World is far from over!
Look out, cuz there's a generation rising and they're gonna stand up for God in this world.
