Thought of e week: YOUTH CAMP WAS AWESOMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
back from camp ytd night..a bumpy 5 hrs bus ride down from summerset ALL e way back to church. I flewww many times during those BUMPS.. still rmbed flying up 3 times consecutively..as in my butt really left my seat n i was in e air for about 2 secs n knocked once on *'s head. wahahaha. jay, * n i kerna that rollercoaster experience. it was hilarious! haha.
OK this post shall be dedicated to REDPRINT YOUTH CAMP 07's wonderful experience=)
DAY 1:
arrived in church at 7am n assembled all our barang barangs at the lobby. bus ride to the camp site(its a resort..not those open field camping). we reached there at abt 1ish.. NO LUNCH!!!! argghh.. unpacked n changed den straight down for games session. we played scavenger hunt.. it was a fun filled experience with my group members.. got to know isabella and dominic(he's reallllyyy adorable n comical). played some mass game too i tink..cant rmb. anyway, was really shagged but FUNN!!
went ahead to swim!! woohoo.. it was good to hang ard wif jill, evonne n julia. JULIA!!! we DONT EVER talk during youth lor..but we were having meals, swimming, chatting, n playin ard during the camp..which was really good. MADE A FRIEND!
the services were REALLY REALLY REALLY hilarious but at the same time, the message got through to us n we were impacted by it. speaker Rev Chris Long is really greattt..*thumbs up*.
DAY2:
oh oh..our schedule for all the days are as follows--
1. morning devotion 7.30-8am (for camp com, attached leaders n group ics only)
2. devotion 8-8.30am (everybody)
3. breakfast 8.30-9.30am
4. morning service ( 9.30-12)
5. lunch (12-2)
6. GAMES
7. free time
8. dinner
9. evening service
10. lights out
OK. every morn i struggled out of bed for devotion..cuz its really early. haha. EVERY service was GOODGOODGOOD.. really felt God's presence and even in the worship, despite of the lack of equipments(only had 2 guitars n one keyboard), i feel that it was even better than some of our usual Radi8 services.
let me talk abt the meals...ehh..it was edible but wasn't fantastic. and there's alot of flies and flying insects ard. hahaha.
evening service was a BIG HIT for me.. i bet for every one too.. the message was amazing..the altar call was just ...im lost for words.. its REALLY awesome and imapctful. I really really felt God's presence..so near..so close to my heart during the altar call.. Nth i can do to stop the tears from flowing. All e leaders were lined up and the others went up one by one to a leader for prayer n a hug. It really touched my heart.. i was sobbing n weeping my eyes out.. there's no specific explanation for it.. God was really there..the Spirit jus overwhelmed me n tears began to pour out till i cldnt even speak properly. i just thank God for this wonderful moment.. i felt such an immense n strong power within me..it was such an heartwarming experience tt i can never forget. Worshipping God in the Spirit was greatt.i cried out to the Lord for comfort and poured everything out to Him..tearing down wadever tt's hindering His plan for me. We gathered three in a group, joined hands n prayed tgt.. i tried my best to pray despite my heavy sobs n we were all blessed by His presence=)
GAMES TIME!! it was the station games.. i mus say it was the most messy time out of the 3 days. Ketchup, salad sauce, tomato juices, sand, water were all over me.. oh n one of the days i had shaving cream on me too. i just STINK like anything after the games. tt TaM PUI mus purposely go and pushed my face down to the plate of ketchup but luckily i didnt went face flat into it. muahha. got back at her later on so we're quits. hahaha. i was SOOO shagged out..X(.. but it was.....FUNN!!!! haha. team work built up too..worked closer with my group so it was all worth while.
swimming again!!! water captain's ball was fun to play n watch. haha.
DAY 3:
games part was really a bonding session. Raju n dominic cldnt participate so we only had 5 in the group. pia-ed all the games with no substitutes, no water, the sun blazing HOT HOT, running ard in burning sand n heat, sweating our hearts out for the game. it really depended on ALOT of team spirit n effort tt day. we had 4 sports games station - frisbee, water polo, fruitball, handball. got bumped in the head during the water polo by the rugby ball *ouch*, got orange on me for fruitball, got burned in my soles for e rest. seriously i was abt to collapse frm exhaustion n fatigue. our team mates didnt pang sei each other n we jus worked hard tgt. so it was fantastic!! cheerin each other on n stuff. we won two n drew two. jaylord's team was being real nice for sub-ing us cuz we were real tired n offered for a draw towards the end of it. so yeah..thanks!! n M&Ms(aka my team) WONNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooohoo..oh yeah oh yeah..
got loads of blue blacks on me..but surprisingly no muscle ache..tks to NJC's tough pe session for my physical fitness today. hahaha.
went swimminggg!!! it was FUN.. laughed n joked ard wif shu ai n sis...grossed out by someone's 50cents n fats..wahahhaa. N my heart went "PIANG! *cracks*" when * was injured. ouuuchhh...hurts for him n me. haha. kelvin chua weiming..watch where u're hitting the ball nxt time OK-.-.. had a great nice time in the pool..altho i donnoe hw to swim. wahaha..kinda ironic rite.
CONCLUSION: overall..it was really a God-filled n fun-filled experience.. despite some little unhappiness n emo-ness n not-enuff-slp-grumpy-syndrome, it was a SUCCESSS!!!! lookin forward to more of such camps!! wahaha. Thank God for these 4 days 3 nights=).
