Interesting Sunday

Few days ago,

I received an invitation from my buddy.

It was about a lunch gathering with Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, CEO of YTL Corporation.

at Lot 10, Bukit Bintang.

At the same time,

I am currently having A2 Trial Exam.

Initially,

I would like to reject the event as I want to concentrate my study.

However,

I knew myself that,

whole day "PLANNED" for STUDY,

actually just spent about 2 hours,

plus only 30% of the knowledge can be digested by my mind.

(That's the bad consequences of last minute studying, PLEASE DO IT CONSISTENTLY FROM DAY ONE.)

To talk frankly,

I stressed up by my academy recently

in a bad way.

Therefore,

I decided to attend this gathering

for temporary freedom from tonnes of theories & formulas

That was my first time to travel from Subang to Bukit Bintang area

through public transportation.

Since I studied Taylor's College about more than a year,

I didn't go to Bukit Bintang area after the last class trip in secondary school.

First thing I noticed was,

the monorail in KL was as packed as a sardine can.

Everyone just squeezed into a 2/4 coach monorail, riding for about 6 stops.

I felt relieved after I came out.

(Phew)

Secondly,

the variety of fashion outlet and other shop

plenty of them that saturated the whole area.

I promised myself I have to do my closet purchase there during holiday.

After I reached at Lot 10,

and reach the dining room with Yiing and her friends who we just met.

There are about 30 young adults,

with different personal stories and dreams.

Luckily,

I met a senior from AFS student exchange program
(I wear my favourite AFS T-shirt to the gathering)

His name was Dexter, who was also once president & founder of AFS Melaka Chapter.

Marvellous!!

We had a great lunch together.

After that,

the sharing session began.

 Yi Weii, 20-year-old young adult who wanted to enlighten the purpose within the young adults.

 Another brilliant young adult from University of Nottingham who also would like to bring up their own potential.

 Paul Ang, E&E Engineering Students shared his testimony.

 John Liew, an investor introduced himself to everyone.

Kelvin, currently worked as contractor for the fire fighting system.

I think you guys able to recognize him

Byan Loo, who shared how he started first small business in Standard 1.

"At the age of 20, I have 3 choice in my mind under F&B business, which are Coffee, Juice & Tea. I did some research and found that: Coffee was already saturated in Malaysia, we had Starbucks, San Francisco, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Pacific Coffee etc; Juice may not be as good as US, they think they can just make it at home instead of buying it. Therefore, the remaining choice was tea." - Bryan shared.

After all of us had known each other,

it's time to let the host of the day

Tan Sri Francis Yeoh

Shared with us

How the Lord aided him during some of the hardships in life

And the blessings from God.

"Instead of avoiding to the criticism from social media, you should endure it and prepare to be challenged. If you did nothing wrong in God's eye, no one dare to against you." - Francis Yeoh shared

"The only success formula that I agreed is I always let God to be involved in my journey."

He also shared how education should be done

To nurture talent young adults

Moreover,

He did comment some of the recent like

MH370

The Bomoh with two coconut to search the plane

(I mean seriously??What happened to our country,

since when there are people who started to make jokes

Which ruined our image as Malaysian)

He taught us that we must always put our sight on the Light, the God.

follow the Lord's pathway,

To taste and absorb His Wisdom.

God is generous,

And we're God creation with His image.

He is willing to lend us his helping hand,

Only if we have faith in Him.

Truthfully believe His presence.

The session ended with fellowship and photo-taking.

At the same day,

it was also Dato Philip's Birthday.

Buon Compleanno per te !! :)

Anyway,

I did learn a lot from Tan Sri Francis Yeoh

and also others who shared their testimony.

Moreover,

The Lord made this Divine Appointment for all of us

to gather and to form new relationship

interpersonal and with God.

I hope that we can each other once again in the future gathering.

(For some of you, surely will meet again very soon.)
