GATSBY CAMP!
well, now it will get a bit boring when i reflect a bit on what went on during the camp.

indeed, i have to give credit to the leaders for planning such a successful camp
it was only a team of 4 people i guess...
this shows that it is not necessary to have a huge planning team in order for a successful camp to be archieve.
i guess God truely strengthened them and despite stress and anxiety,
i think they can say is this:
IT WAS WORTH IT!
ALL THE WAY GATSBY CAMP COMM.!!!

so yes, they were indeed clever to split up all the cliques,
especially mine (though i wont describe it as a clique)
but ya, they were wise in the choice of team members

i have to be honest, i was not totally happy with whom i was grouping with,
wished there were my girls there
but oh well,
the camp comm. was smart.
placing me in a group that was completely not the usual groupings i had
was indeed a challenge that should be given thanks for.
i have to admit i got closer to team mates like angel and fatty benny
and got to know new friends such as liucan
yes, totally awkward grouping, but with lessons to be learnt at every angle

now, the games in the camp were indeed chosen wisely
yup, though some of the games were not pleasing in a sense,
there were lessons behind it
arguements, anger were breed i guess (100% honest about this)
but love and care were fostered as well
i guess we have to focused on the brighter side!
and i really wanna compliment team: GELLAX.
i have never seen such a bonded united team and it isnt surprising they would win almost every game
not only do they work together, they cheer together and support others together
(oh, and are really polite too)
it truely dawned upon me that unity truely plays a huge role in the body of Christ.
what if someone doesnt play a part?
surely the church will crack somehow.
GELLAX was impressive and a true role model too!

now, overall views.
i think that food was great!
love breakfast-nutella bread.
and lunch and dinner was satisfying
want my more curry *hint*

ministry time is also fulfilling
my expectations were met
i feel ready for term 2 and the days to come
i know what is coming for this year, and i am going to be prepared for it
daniel said this year, is the year where i will really transformed in character
but i would go through a lot of difficulties, hardships just to shed all those old skin
like a butterfly emerging from a caccoon,
the process is tough
but it is worth it.
and now, i have something to totally remind me to press on, persevere on!
the ending will be good.
tough days dont last, but tough people do!

friends.
well, besides my team mates,
i got to catch up with old buddies like jessica, louiza
reconcile with people
pray for others
and make new friends (like the younger ones -jia qing, marcus, etc)
yup! it was great!
oh and talking to fatty benny is awesome!
like walk 10 rounds and time seems to pass so fast!
haha! cool bro!
(anyway, i have to update his blog soon)

OH YA!
and ex classmate-kenneth- came!
it is truely by GOD's grace man!
and i think a seed was indeed laid in his heart
yihui came to the Lord too!
BLESSINGS!

and i have to type this:
first night, was mosquito infestation.
terrible. mosquitoes were everywhere.
and it was quite symbolic to me.
i lead worship that night, and i prayed this out loud:
"May God's presence be in this hall, so that Satan cannot enter this place, but if he does, may we trample on him"
so the mosquitoes were like Satan's doing, trying to destract us from focusing on the Lord.
there were two groups of people:
1. people who were seriously distracted, and just spent the night shoo-ing the mosquitoes and insects away
2. people who ignore the surroundings n just listen(though occasionally if u see an insect on you, just whack it)
well, i thank God i was in group 2.
in the bible, there are stories of disciples that were bitten by poisonous creatures such as snake but was not affected at all by the venom.
guess what, when i got bitten, i was not affect by the venom.
the scars were evident, but there were no pain.
though right now, my body is itching because of the bites, (i went to scratch opps)
i think God is truely a deliverer and an amazing GOD!

yup, so now you know why camp is great!
: DDD

oh ya, and guess what,
i slept at 3.30am and woke up at 7am
was super tired
and had no time to sleep at home cause had drama prac
i was dozing off man!
my brain was like running away...etc
but oh well,
I AM GOING TO SLEEP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

note: we as Christians are like farmers that sow the seeds to the field, but God is the overall controller. He controls the growth of the plants. so do be disencouraged when what you sow do not reap immediately! : DDD
