YM CAMP 08!!!

-YM CAMP 08 King Of Glory @ NUS PGP 18- 21 Dec-

This year's my 3rd camp!! you know b4 camp i was looking 4ward to it alot cos of last year's fun. but this year is slight diff cos i invited 4 ppl!!! (jon.chins.dean.daniel.) 2 same grp as me in camp and the other 2 not.. and i was really hoping that they wud get touched by god during camp in a spcial way so i did pray really hard for that..

so on the 1st day we all met at bona vista mrt and found our way there.tho we were on the wrong side and got lost inside nus! but luckily we were smart enuf to find our way.
then when i first saw pgp i thought wah so nice like condo but actually the rooms like a big storeroom (ok lah not that bad) and the audi is much smaller than last years!

then i met my group and i realise that im getting older.finally there are ppl younger than me cos i always used to be like the youngest in the grp or smth..
so my group (elohim) had alot of cool ppl i got to know and suprisingly still kept in touch wif aft camp.

so the first day there was nth much except in the aftnoon we played a stupid captain's ball game but the game was HUGE like those in the gym haha. those fat air balls or watever.
and it was quite cool cos therd be thte crosstrainers shooting waterguns and waterbombs haha. yea we played at the bball courts. had ulti frisbee match there too!! heh.

at night there was worship as usuall and worship was like last year's one.. erm but a bit different. choice of songs were good tho many new ones and u know the best part of camp is never the games.no matter how fun they are. its not the ppl either no matter how great everyone is. its oso not even the worship or the songs or the sermon or the workshops or anything else!! its the moment where u can just be still away frm anything else and jus listen to what god has to say to u.his calling for u in your life.its the times of prayer in camp thats most powerful. but most importantly.. know what god wants u to do in your life so that u can walk away frm the camp with a mission. a calling and not jus memories of fun and times of emotional high.

okokok back to was i wan to say bout campe. ok lah i must say its amazing that what god told me this year was totally diff frm last year (my testimony will be at a separate post. heh.)
and this years camp is really great and diff bcos the ministry is reall growing together not just onthe surface but spiritually too.

anw this year i really had a good break cos last year i was asst grp leader and this year im normal!!!!!!!!! can slack slack! leave it to the pros like glenn and melina! haha.
yea so i got to know sum new ppl during camp too tho not everyone and i jus wan to say it was great knowing you!!! yea.

ok so on the first night i slept like 130 cos jon daniel and i were in jon's room talking for hours... then we did exaclty the same thing on the 2nd night. somemore we bought alot alot of food frm the minimart. oh and on the first night we called to rest over, includind walter. and played at the kitchen.made alot of noise BUT b4 the silent hours. haha if we make noise during silent hours we die.. so we what played cards and had truth ot dare! stupid luh.. HAHAHA

then on the last night it was RECord for all camps!! i slept at 630!! HAHAHA. cos the worship (woooo!) ended like at i think 11?
then my ysg went to play some frisbee!! then we decided go to the nice comfy function room to play some games.. then other grps joined in for polar bear!!!!! and some cards.. then that walter and hillary talk so much a.k.a gossiping heh! until the search and destroy team found our secret hideout and sent us back to our rooms!!! cos it was alrdy 3am! anw jon daniel n i jus went back n talked till like 5am i think then we decided to have a walk round pgp!!! but we ended walking to the playground and i started swinging..........on the swing... then at 630 went back to the room and ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...... cannot tank liao..
wah then 10am i still can wake up!! if its at home id prob hibernate till 4pm!! oh and i mus tell u bout the stupid 5bx every morning! the first morning i went down "early" expecting it to be like last year. cos last year we jus walk round te track. but this tear no track so they make us do what i call dance moves that only sec 1s and below fit to do!! HAHAHA. anw attendence for 5bx is like halp the camp pon. so..... 2nd day we jus poned it and went straight for QT. lol.

anw i really found this camp great. wanna go again. BUT so sad i'll be a year older next camp! must stay young!! anw ive onnly a few years b4 i leave ym..........

LIFE STORY- NZ

1st- 10th DEC..

For about a week and a half my family went to NewZealand.. yea it was a first time trip and a really great time spent as a family.. i really saw many wonderful sights..breathtaking scenery.. yea the photos will be up soon.. to leave my com my tv and frens and stuff for this great hol was worth it!! hahaha.. !!

A 9 hour flight to Christchurch which is in the south island.. rather boring on the plane nowadays cos not many nice movies to watch or i watch b4..
temp there was arnd 15 degrees at christchrch.. very much a sunny place.. i remb the 1st day there i was so tired haha anyway we din do much except see the museum and the huge garden!! lovely flowers! hahaha.. never seen such nice flowers b4 somemore the temp is just right.. nice cooling weather :)

so i forgot to say.. we went wif tour grp and a coach brought us arnd the whole country which means the journey from each city is very loooong............ but in between are stops at nice litte cafes which appear out of nowhere haha.. so i love to drink the hot chocolate esp when the temp gets below 10 deg..

the hotels in the cities are ok lah but the hotels in the mountain areas are .. motelish. heh.

anw it was a really great hol. very diff from europe. its like u can escape frm this world into another place of quiet and peace. . . . .

yea so it was a great family time too and if i get a chance id go back there :)

so what did we do?? first we explored the christchucrh town its a rather flat land.not like the southern part of the island and i love the gardens there its jus filled wif flowers and all. im really not the flower lover but the garden's really great and nice. oh and the ducks are everyehere! i tried to scare them away.duno wad happened aft that.. heh.

then we entered a church which is so dead but its supp to be the biggest church there.

so we travelled alot alot during the trip.had a coach but journeys were so long i could sleep and wake up n sleep n wake up n we're still not thereyet!

we wen to milford sound which was a really omega beautiful scenery and we oso wen to queenstown which is the place where lord of the rings was filmed. i really love queenstown's town. its such a quiet place with litte nice gardens everywhere and the sunset view there is bEauTifuL!

we din dare try sky gliding or any of those stuff but we went on a safari whcih was really great.they took us to strange places. we even travelled in the jeep in the river and along the mountains. really nice. the view frm the top.so nice. haha!

oh yea and we went for a farmstay oso.my first time.interesting experience with the farmers and animals haha. okok enuf words and more photos!!!
