Malaysia Day 16 September 2012 - A Day To Bless Malaysia

A good number of Christians gathered at The Likas Sports Complex for A Day To Bless Malaysia.


By 5pm, the usual parking problem surfaced. This was the road in front of the St Simon Church.


I decided to park in front of the Indah Court apartments ...

... the RELA fellas always help out at these public events ...


... and walk to the Likas Stadium ...


... which was filling up nicely ...


... really ...


... All the good seats were taken!


The stage was in the middle of the field facing those Good Seats! ...


... native dancers ...


... and the choir.


Food and drinks sold at the stalls (the ticket was also the food and drink coupon - see the bottom of the first photo above)


There were other stuff sold (soft toys and shofars).


I didn't realise the selling was so competitive! Perhaps they wanted to finish before 6pm.


I bought some of these fish balls and sausages; pretty tasteless I am sorry to say.


Malaysians do enjoy their eating ...


... hopefully ...


... no over-indulgence. That's a bit mean, I hope its just exhaustion.


Now that we had eaten ...


... some last minute instructions ...


... then wait till its dark ...


... really dark! ...


... and they turned on the lights. Let the event begin with the shofar blowing.


With the number of young people around ...


... it was fast and furious ...


... even the floodlights felt it!


WHO is Gregory 25???


There were declarations and ...


... blessings (maximum zoom on the Lumix FZ35 + Teleconverter) ...


... followed by a mass prayer ...


... to end the event ...


... and the fireworks.
