    DFP, October 2007

    The concert that started itall off. I visited the MPO

    with one of my

    roommates, a coursemate,

    a college-mate, Amos, Suit

    Lin and Evans.

    It was initially a gesture of

    hospitality, to introduce

    our new international

    friend to life in Malaysia.

    We staged Entangled theMusicalin conjunction with

    Easter 2008.

    Our Nigerian friends Evans

    and Ayan remembered the

    event as the first time

    international students

    performed on the KPS stage.

    Im not sure how accurate

    that fact is, but they mustvebeen among the very first

    international performers at

    any rate.

    PKV has always believedthat the men should rise,

    though we are few in

    number.

    Thus the idea forM.A.C.H.O. was mooted;

    Men After Christs Heart

    Only. After several failed

    attempts at jump-starting

    the fledgling mensministry, perhaps it might

    finally take off this year?Photo by Carey Wan

    The 40th

    Photo is sadlyblank because the

    photographer accidentally

    deleted the photo of

    PKVians visiting Jing Jing in

    hospital.

    It seemed an apt depiction

    of the role the PKV

    community plays.
