Hey there! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to all you Chinese people! =) How has your holiday been for the non-Chinese? For me, it has been a great time with family and catching up with rest / sleep! =p … at the same time visiting relatives and getting some angpows. Hehehe… Above all, I can never thank God enough to be living in Malaysia with the different races and still able to live in peace with each other – racial harmony!
OK, back to PGs.. For those of you still trying to figure out what PGs all about? No worries.
WHAT is Marketplace PG? PG (Power Group / Prayer Group) is an hour of an exciting and meaningful lunch together with Christians (not necessary from ACTS Church) and non-Christians friends seasoned with laughter, prayer and value-adding conversations. PG is initiated from the Young Working Adults Ministry from ACTS Church (LIFE). LIFE exists to reach and build a generation of Young Working Adults (YWA) that thrive and find purpose in all that they do, reflecting the DNA and Culture of ACTS Church through Friendship, Marketplace, Relationships, Community using various winning expressions powered by YWA themselves for YWA. We have an exciting LIFE blog at
Do check it out!
Just wanna excite you with some great news on PGs! We would be having PGs every Wednesdays as usual BUT we’re going to do it differently this time. Instead of meeting up for lunch, Cyberjaya PG is thinking of having some intentional light discussions that we all could engaged in.
Our topic for this week would be YOGA! Many Christians today from the West to the East – including Malaysia, has given Yoga a try and said that it has really improved their health to some extend.
What is YOGA?
Yoga is defined as a “mystic discipline by which one seeks to achieve liberation of the self, and union with the supreme spirit, through intense concentration, deep meditation, and practices involving prescribed postures, controlled breathing, and so forth” (Webster’s New World Dictionary/1980).
Yoga is a scientific system of physical and mental practices that originated in India more than three thousand years ago. Its purpose is to help each one of us achieve our highest potential and to experience enduring health and happiness. With Yoga, we can extend our healthy, productive years far beyond the accepted norm and, at the same time, improve the quality of our lives. (Excerpted from Chapter Three of our book, Yoga for the Special Child)
With all that benefits about Yoga.. As a Christian, is it wrong to take YOGA classes? What about taking Yoga as a form of exercise? What do you think? Share with us your views.
And we will definitely discuss this issue at the next PG this Wednesday :: 4 Feb 2009 :: Arif Restaurant, Street Mall :: 12.30 – 1.30pm ::
As you know that we’ll be discussing about Yoga and you know of a friend (Christian / Non-Christian / backslidden Christians) who is working in Cyberjaya, do invite them to join our PG this Wednesday! Do reply over this email on your views about Yoga till we meet this Wednesday!
Let’s start rolling your opinions in! =)

Cyber PG today was simple.
Zoe, Joel and Ollie (Olivia) was at Cyber PG today. Many couldn’t make it because of work schedules. Some are away for work purposes like Jeffrey who is in Indonesia.
We decided to have lunch at Ericsson instead of Kassim’s because Zoey has stomach discomfort and can’t take spicy food.
Zoe, Joel and myself enjoyed each other’s fellowship as we shared not only about our work but also our different types of personalities. Besides, we shared our prayer requests and closed in prayer.
We met Chu Yaw at Ericsson while having PG. He couldn’t joined us as he was rushing back to conduct training.
Even though it was just 3 of us today, nevertheless, it was definitely encouraging.
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

Blessings,

Yo Cybergiants,
Another awesome meeting at MMU Vegetarian. Well most of us had vegetarian but Shobi and Zack ventured out to try the Turkish food at the same canteen. Zack even made some new friends with the Turkish shop owners hehe.
It’s a week of bountiful testimonies, with most of us having quite some testimonies to share. My own being I finally found my new PC RM200 below my budgeted price, praise God! Zoe was picked for interview with a Japanese exchange program which is great. We’re praying that the interview will go well and she will have an opportunity to visit Japan to share stuff with them. Also we had Khim who is safely back from his travels from Philippines and India, and also his brave act of trying out Balut (I shall not elaborate for the sake of the weak stomached haha) after fighting back his fears for about 15 minutes. Khim even brought us word that Janet already has her first project to kick start her business! We wish you all the best on your new journey Janet!
So the people who made PG happen:
1) Shobi
2) Zack
3) Olivia
4) Zoe
5) Khim
6) Ji Jian
I’ll be away back at my hometown for the next 2 weeks. It’s been months since I’ve gone home. Hope you continue to meet and have fun as Zoe and Olivia coordinates the next 2 meetings. Take care and God bless! Will see you in 2 weeks time!
God bless,
Ji Jian
Yo Cybergiants,
PG’s back on again this week! Hope everyone’s had a good rest from the long holiday last weekend. Some might feel refreshed while others would need some time to kick start back those engines to start working again. I know I’m feeling a little lacking in productivity haha…
But anyway, this week is exam week at MMU. Remember last PG I told you guys about the vegetarian joint at the hostel block, so I suppose we can meet there for lunch this wednesday. Same time at 12.00pm. Which hostel block? It’s the one opposite FCM cafe, so I’ll use FCM cafe as a reference point. Walk pass the zebra crossing, go down to the first canteen. You should see a deli selling western food so walk pass it and take a left right after the block to go downhill. The vegetarian joint is the canteen at the bottom of the hill. Parking might be a hassle if you’re trying to find a spot at the hostel block itself, so I suggest a little exercise by parking at FCM and walk there.
Anyway if you have any trouble finding the place give me a call after 11.00pm (I have an exam invigilation till then). Alternatively you can give Shobi a buzz since she’s a hostel local. See you there!
God bless,
Ji Jian
Yo Cybergiants,
Another exciting time at PG this wednesday. This week was at FCM cafe at MMU since it was a little more peaceful near the end of the semester with many students already going back for the holidays. We also had 2 join us for the first time, welcoming Simon from MMU and Joo Guan, Rachel’s colleague from Shell. Glad to see you guys, although I didn’t have a chance to speak to Joo Guan much since the table was huge! Hope you can join us again that we can get to know each other a little better.
But at our end of the table, we spoke about stuff like the dairy products issue from China. Based on some requests I’ve already forwarded the list of approved items, as well as some that have been recalled by the government. Hope you will find it useful especially you milk fans out there, kudos to Shobi for sending the lists. If you did not receive but wish to get it, drop me a line at chinjijian@hotmail.com
The attendees for the week:
1) Janet
2) Ji Jian
3) Yoke May
4) Zoe
5) Olivia
6) Zakariah
7) Shobita
8) Joo Guan
9) Simon
10) Fred
11) Rach
And yes, some awesome testimonies to boot, like Zak getting his paycheck on time, Yoke May’s safe return from Bangkok, and the most recent out of how God protected our dear Olivia from the LRT accident. Thank God for His faithfulness.
So if you want to hear of greater testimonies, or even want one for your self, come to the next PG to pray, and enjoy some time of friendship and fellowship over lunch at the same time! The next PG will be two weeks from now, since next week is the Hari Raya festival. To those celebrating, here’s wishing you a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri from us at Cyber PG. May God grant those traveling a safe trip back to your homes or holiday destinations. Till we meet again, have a great week and holiday ahead!
God bless,
Ji Jian
Hi Cybergiants,
Hope most of you had a good rest last week’s public holiday. We had an incredible picnic at Putrajaya. Pics posted on the life blog already!

PG’s on again this week! MMU FCM Cafe will be available since it’s Ramadhan and business is slow. However due to change of security policy you guys will have to obtain visitor passes (bummer…) from the guard house while entering. As a small consolation it’ll be quite empty in terms of parking space as well since it’s the last week of the semester and most of the students are already balik kampunging for the Hari Raya hols.
So it’s a plan? MMU FCM Cafe at 12 as usual then! Drop us a line if you’re coming, or can always buzz me if you need directions. See you soon!
God bless,
Ji Jian
