The Youth Prep Art Class
This 'wierdo' will be the teacher of the "Youth Prep Art Class"... Mataiilah!Okay folks,
I've contacted the Youth prep Centre (actualy Anne works there, so it wasn't hard to get in touch with them) and This is what we've got:
The art class will start on the 16th of April 2010, thats next week's friday, class will be held at 12.00 noon, thats gonna take up my lunch time, but what the heck... I need the diet anyway.
Confession, I'm not a pro in this field, I think the people who will be attending are better than me. Here's the thing, I have a bit of knowledge and also a bit of experience and I believe you guys have a bit of those stuff too...
For those who are interested in this stream, for me it's great if we can gather and exchange perspectives and opinion, because I won't be 100% teaching. And it's not nice to be "kedekut" with your knowledge, sharing is caring maa!
I'm doing this because I want to learn myself. So there you have it, let's learn together and teach together..aiseymen, that's sound nice lah.
The duration of the so called "semester" is 7 weeks, the first week being the introduction, followed by the classes, which I took the liberty of arranging what and what to learn (and teach)...
On the seventh week we'll have our "graduation" in a form of an Art exibition, nice kan? we'll invite our families, our friends to witness this event, its gonna be cool...
So, anyone interested? I won't promise that you'll get super rich with art, but I do know that you'll get a chance to express yourselves in your own way, provided you don't "conteng" the walls of the youth prep centre.
Bah! Enough talking, those who are interested, contact me (via facebook) or The Youth Prep Centre Alamesra (Anne Baltazar). I'll see you next Friday.
Keep me in your prayers and you'll know what I'll do lah.
Till then...

These are the "Pinyuts"
From the left:
Mark, Rayner, Ramlan, Riduan, Durie, Me and also Paul at the far right.
These here are some of my friends. It was a hot sunny day when this group of clowns decided to go out for lunch. As we came out of the main entrance, which is the glass sliding door behind us,
one of us saw the chairs arranged in such an inviting manner that all of us just had to strike a pose for the camera.
The chairs were actually for the directors who were at the moment in a meeting, supposedly after their meeting, they were the ones who were to be photographed, well at least we didn't messed the entire place up. Then again I hope they won't mind us "borrowing" the chairs for 2 seconds.
At the same time everyone in the group had the same idea to sit and take a picture, no one had to arrange us, it's all "synchronized madness". All of us understood each other crazy needs. We see each other most of our working hours, and through time, we've developed a bond, so strong, so united, it as though we were siblings in the office. And outside too...
I love this picture, although the rest of the gang were not around at the time, I'm not worrying, surely there will be more opportunity for us to immortalize our presence on line. These are these are my brothers, and with them I will stand till the day I "pencen"...
I'll share more on these people in the future..
Keep me in your prayers as I keep all of you in mine.
Till then...

Let pick-me-up pick you up!
Me, Nova and Yvonne with the first issue of Pick-Me-Up.How long has it been since the first PMU was handed out to the young adults in church...? Let me see, aah... A good three years ... And counting, I won't say great, the great one will be this year.
First, let just thank God for giving PMU the permission to proceed with this idea to ''Breed Catholic Thinkers''. The team is so blessed to have dedicated hard workers.
I'm the artist behind all the covers of PMU. Good or bad, they're all by me. Enough about me, you could read all in my other entries to find out more about me. Now, it's Nova's turn...
Nova with her cunning words, never failed to impress me. I've always wanted to write like her. Maybe that's why I started to blog. The thing with Nova is, she's a book junky, and I mean that in a good way. And the amount of perspectives she gain by reading makes me want to be a book junky myself, then again I'm too much of a slow reader, I 'feel' too much, but when I do read, my focus is like nobody's business. When I put my speed reading skills into action, I could easily finish from cover to cover within... 2 months. In short Nova is a power house in this area, she writes like Pavarotti sings, effortlessly.
Yvonne, she has a lot to offer to the well being of this publication, but we understand with her commitments towards her "Lifefire Campus Ministry" and her studies, it will be a matter of time when she'll be writing actively for PMU again.
I honestly have high hopes in this sister. Being a debater, she could easily maximize the use of her skills in this arena to so called promote the youths and the young adults of the church.
The voice of this sister will go far. I foresee that.
Then, we have the one who I'd like to call the "Quality Control", the sister whose duty was to keep PMU in that state of sanity, so that it doesn't get derailed. Mirina Lim has been around even before the official launching of the news letter. With her around, PMU has a sense of authority, not because of her presence, but because of the zeal she brings when she comes to the Saturday gatherings that we usually have.
The three of us would travel to the depths of our imagination to ponder on thoughts that only a handful of parishioners would dwell in. Often we'll relate our ideas with the ever changing world that we live in today, the sky's the limit when we discuss topics that would touch lives.
No question was considered stupid, no opinion was lower than the other. We were equals in the place where we gather. And because of this culture, PMU has survived for 3 whole years.
This is one (left) of my favorite issues, handed out in April of 2009. I have to say, I'm happy with the work I've done with the cover for this specific edition. I know it's not as grand as the news letters out in the market today, but for a brief moment on that day, I was smiling seeing my artwork being handed to people.
Not to mention the masterpiece that Nova wrote for this edition, as it says in the cover, "I AM FREE!" Nova left no detail behind when she describe what spirituality freedom means in the eyes of our lord Jesus Christ.
Honestly, PMU needs to go a long way, before it can call itself 'perfect'. Our team's effort can only go so far, and there are time where PMU faces spiritual attacks from the evil one, it's not easy sometimes, even when comes to accomplishing simple tasks like printing, copying etc..
Knowing that PMU never had anyone e-mailing us any sort of opinion can also be seen as PMU not getting enough support from our fellow family and friends.
One more thing, it's saddening sometimes when I see news letters left in the pews of the church along with candy wrappers and empty water bottles.... garbage. Is this what PMU deserves? PMU does not expect to be honored in the highest level of homage, but please, if anyone is reading this entry, next time you get a copy of PMU, you might want to keep it, if not for you, maybe for someone else who cares more for our thoughts.
In the midst of all this attacks, PMU still experience God's generosity, in the coming issues of PMU, there will be a new writer, it's a brother named Lionel Wong, also a gifted soul who has the ability to proclaim God's words in a different level of creativity, how different... You have to find that one out on your own. do wait for the next issue of Pick-Me-Up, and be up lifted. And do give any comments, I welcome any form of opinion...
Keep me in your prayers as I keep you all in mine.
Till then...
