YES2009 – The Trip!
0The Youth Engagement Summit (YES2009) is a platform to create a cadre of engaged, active youth leaders dedicated to making positive changes happen in their communities and in the world. The summit brings together some of the most inspiring Global Change Icons to Kuala Lumpur to share their experiences with you.
How often can you get the co-founder of Twitter, the founder of Live8, a Bollywood star and a plane crash survivor under one roof?
The Youth Engagement Summit 2009 will be held for the first time right here in Malaysia. We’re giving you a chance to join Biz Stone, Sir Bob Geldof, Amitabh Bachchan, Nando Parrado and many more for two amazing days.
On top of that, we’re giving you a free trip – and an experience which may change your life.
DAY 1, Evening – Touchdown @ LCC-T, Sepang
YOUR DESTINATION: MALAYSIA
You and all the winners from your country will board the plane together… destination? A colorful multi-racial country, snugged comfortably between Thailand and Singapore. From the moment you get off the AirAsia plane, your adventure begins. The sun shines high in the sky and it’s just a little warm, but think about it — you’re representing your country to a historic event!
YOUR HOTEL
You’ll be checked into a hotel right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur (or how we locals like to call it ‘KL’). You’ll be joining the rest of the winners, too! 500 Youths from around Southeast Asia, representing their countries!
Mingle with them. Make friends. They want to make a change in their personal lives, their communities, and their country. Who knows where the new friendships may lead?
DAY 1, Night – Kuala Lumpur
YOUR DINNER: ANYTHING, EVERYTHING
You and your new group of friends will be picking where you eat. We’ll walk you through Chinatown so you can handpick your dinner according to your tastebuds!
DAY 2, Morning – YES2009, Day 1
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT SUMMIT 2009 – DAY ONE
After a Malaysian breakfast, a bus will take your troupe to the Youth Engagement Summit at Putrajaya International Convention Center.
On the first day of the summit, Biz Stone (the co-founder of Twitter), Sir Bob Geldof (Founder of Live8), Dr. Mamphela Ramphele (Former MD of World Bank and Vice Chancellor of Cape Town University) and Amitabh Bachchan (Bollywood icon) will be rocking the stage, making it an exciting opening first day for the 2-day summit.
DAY 2, Night – The sun may set, but the night lives on…
THE NIGHTLIFE
The day doesn’t end when the summit ends for the day. KL houses the best night spots in Malaysia — good food and good company. Explore the city with your new friends. From chill-out lounges to live performances, if you still have energy left, hit the hawker stalls for another meal ~ the best supper of your life.
Our guides will be there to bring you out, and assure you’ll have a blast.
DAY 3, Morning – YES2009, Day 2
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT SUMMIT – DAY TWO
Garry Kasparov (World Chess Champion), Randi Zuckerberg (Marketing Director of Facebook), Tony Fernandes (AirAsia CEO) and Nando Parrado (Andes crash survivor) will be seeing you on the second day of the summit. It’s definitely going to end with a bang.
DAY 3, Evening – More of the city
Before packing up to leave in the morning, you’ll have one more night to spend with your new friends — more sightseeing, taste more food and time to soak in all that has happened, and plan your next adventure with the country representatives you’re now intimate with.
“WHAT DO I GET FROM THIS TRIP?”
By the end of the trip, you’ve already been exposed to the many cultures and lifestyle Malaysia has to offer, and of course, met the most amazing bunch of people — and we’re not referring to just the speakers in the summit
You’ll be excited, inspired and maybe even cry a little.
HOW TO WIN
We’re giving 500 Southeast Asian (ELIGIBLE COUNTRIES and RULES) youths an opportunity to be inspired, meet people and experience Malaysia in all its glory. Why are you still there reading this? Head over to http://indonesia.youthsays.com/seachange/go/vBm for the next step!
What A Difference A Day Made
0What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I’m a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you, is you
My yesterday was blue dear
Still I’m a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
Oh, what a difference a day made
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you, is you, is you
Thank you my lovely Wife!
GOD is at the window
0A little boy was visiting his grandparents on their farm.
He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.
He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back home for dinner.
As he was walking back when he saw Grandma’s pet Duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it.
He was shocked and grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile,
Only to see his sister watching!
Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch the next day Grandma said, “Sally, let’s wash the dishes.”
But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.”
Then she whispered to him, “Remember the duck?”
So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, and Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.”
Sally just smiled and said, “Well that’s all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help.”
She whispered again, “Remember the duck?”
So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally’s, he finally couldn’t stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said,
“Sweetheart, I know.
You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you.
I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you..”
Thought for the day and every day hereafter . . . Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done . . . And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face . . . (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) . . .
Whatever it is, you need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.
He has seen your whole life.
He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.
He’s just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.
The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets.
It is by God’s grace and mercy that we are saved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone’s life today.
Share this with a friend, and always remember:
God is at the window.
