I want to say goodbye to 2007 which is such a great year all the way from jan to dec.... And i want to thank every1 who has made it a great year for me... my parents, cousins, sch frens, np frens, chrch frens and every1 else..... n my 4 best frens jonaron, ty, cw and zl.....
actually it's very fast.. now o level year liao..... and i got tuition everyday..
So must start to study........
Actually i've been waiting for a year and it finally came.. The previous camp,which was my 1st one, was so wonderful and the 1st time i experienced God. And since then, it changed my whole thinking about God and all that.. That's y i was waiting for this camp.
Haha i was put as asst leader for my group. Somemore i was told my leader not coming on the 1st day.. As usual i'm one of the youngest at camp as it always is. Att first i didnt really know anyone in my group bcos like half the group not even from wesley..
Anyways, the ice broke very fast and i got to know this guy from acsi and we became gd frens for the rest of the camp. Also bcos we in same bunk. I also got to know this guy older than me by 4 years who was oso from barker last time. He also in same bunk and a nice guy.. I still remember the 1st day i started making so many frens and playing so much that i forgot what i was at camp for. For God!
At evening time, i started to tune into correct mood.. To prepare forworship and the message. That night the worship was really great and the message taught me so much that im not going to write all down. Probably another time.. After worship there was night games organised by the crosstrainers. Basically it's every group going round the sports school to various check points to play a games with another group.. Yea it was fun.. there were like 7 games altogther.. Got watergun game, dog and bone with soap, chicken captains ball.. such a gross game and i likeonly dare to touch the chicken once in the whole game..haha.. Then there's the fill the box of holes with water thingy, and the fishball game where we didnt even make it past the 3rd person.. Then the last one was where we get blindfolded and have to go through this mini obstacle course where the xtrainers will pour mud flour and shampoo on you........ Anyways the games was fun. That night there was supper at the bleaches....And all the meals r at the canteen...
There's 2 ppl per room at the bunks but all the rooms are connected so can just walk through.. And 8 ppl share one toilet.. That night i slept at around 2am cos we were busy talking and playing cards.. I oso got to know this marris stela guy and this cat high guy, both older than me by 1 year but didnt feel like it.... yea they're all nice ppl... cos all christians! At the end of the 1st day it was like so fun already and make so many new frens, but the important thing was to reflect on wat i learnt that night...
DAY 2:
Woke up early that morning.... no actually all of us woke up late... cos the 4 of us were late for morning pt.. Anyway pt was a joke.. They get everyone to gather at the track so early at like 7.30am and even name the exercise 5bx when we only need to walk round the track once! Walk! Then we went to shower and change up.. Then we went for morning quiet time, which is we go to any spot in the sch we want to read the devotion thing and pray and basically get ready for another day......
Aft breakfast, there was worship and message.. Btw, there's altogther 6 sremons during the whole camp.. After that there was a workshop which we had to attend and aft that was mostly free and easy..... so we spent the time just walking arnd, talking, playing grp games, cards..........etc
Aft dinner there wasthe 1st night rally and we had a guest speaker, pastor hao from some youth church.. He's a great storyteller and one lesson he left with me was 'others can, i cannot '. Meaning as a christian we must learn to accept the fact that there r many things we cant do even if many ppl out there, even in our sch, r doing it..
Aft that we watched a one hour long video on louie giglio and he talked about the universe and showed many interesting pics from satalittes... explaining that God made the universe.... Then there was supper....... and my fren bit crazy liao cos he sleepy and we walking here and there cos dont want to go back to bunk and dont know where to go..... Anyways it was another good day.......
Day 3:
In the morning pt was even more stupid than the day b4.. It was playing a game where the last one to find a group is out of the game.. u know the 1 where they say form grps of 2, then 3 then 4 then 5 etc... Then aft that was quiet time.......... Half an hour later we started playing at playground.. somehow there's a playground in sports sch.. but we soon realised that there's a sign that says we're overaged and can get caught...haha.... Btw sports sch very nice and big........
That day there was another workshop....... which lasted for slightly more than 2 hours.... Most of the day i was looking forward to the night rally.... Btw the meals at camp r great.... Especially the last night of camp, got dessert......
That day after lunch there was pool games, but not everyone get to swim..... Anyways i didnt...... u either go for the treasure hunt or live size checkers or scrabble.. and my fren went for the pool one cos he frm polo and swimming... During the game i tried to help a bit but was mostly talking to my other 2 grp frens..... Anyway my grp did well and the whole group i think came in 2nd for all the games... I remember during the camp i spent alot of time walking from one place to another cos the place is so big!! Between the audi and the bunks there's this a few hundred metre long indoor straight track.....
Anyway that night came and there was another night rally with ps hao.. I remember b4 the rally started, every1 was preparing their hearts and praying and to just get ready....Worship was great again.. just like the year b4.. mayb better... But it ended at 11 plus.... shorter than last year...... I heard on one year it ended at 3am! Btw the sound system at the audi was super, the speakers were gigantic and can feel a bit of the vibration. But of course the sound system at expo much better....
Aft the whole thing ended, no one went back to sleep! Everyone stayed in the audi to play!! Everyone was in their own big or small grps in the audi playing their own stuff.. reminds me of church camp...... For the 1st few hours i played freezbee... quite tiring so aft awhile i drop out.... and went to play cards.... then there was this grp playing captains ball in such a small space... how to play pls.......At 3.30am everyone was chased out of the audi cos they need to close the place.. so early!! During chrch camp we stay until past 5am see who get tired 1st....... That night no supper but my fren go crazy again......lol....... Then we went back to the bunks and tried to stay awake.... but since it was last night we must play somemore..... I think i dozed off at about 5 plus...................
Day 4:
I woke up at about 9 plus cos last day dont need to wake up so early.... But last day was nothing much... just checking out and communion service... And many pppl went up to give testimonies of how the camp changed their life...........
This camp was a really great camp and very different from the last one.. I learnt alot from the messages and i want to thank all my frens whom i just got to know on day 1 for making this camp so fun: max..walter..matthew n gang.. and my whole grp Gilead! And i oso want to thank my mentor jon for guiding me through the 4 days that i was asst leader... Btw the walter is not the one ppl think im refering to.. it's the polo one.... Anyways i hope they visit wesley again soon. And finally i want to thank God for how he has touched my life again!! =)
I'm actually quite close to my cousins, not like other ppl...
Sadly it rained everyday there.... so we went shopping....... which is a good and bad thing.......
To summarise everything, we bowled, played table tennis and pool. I play so much table tennis until sian....
Spent most of the time in hotel running here and there cos of the 5 joint rooms..... and the rooms are like 5 times bigger than usual.....
Anyways it was a good reunion with my relatives cos this is the 1st time we go hol together......
There's also a statue of liberty opposite the eiffel tower..... a gift from US....
Another great day. Today, first thing in the morning, we visited Paris' most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower!!!! It's actually a very big building, the tallest in Paris i think.... made only of steel..... We had to take a lift up the tower to the second floor which was already very high up. And the scenery from there was beautiful and i wish i can stay there longer...... From up there i think i can see almost the whole of Paris. The temperature was a cooling 10 degrees with a nice breeze.
