I'M BACK

... from church camp that is. honestly, i haven't been to the last few camps for whatever reasons there were. i think the last camp i attended was the one at JB, just across the Causeway?

but i am glad that i made it this time round, despite not wanting to go for few other reasons.
God opened my eyes and my ears to see what He is able to do. it is not an immediate thing that can be granted or given upon requests. He works through people, opens their eyes and hearts bit by bit until they finally see it.

i guess i had finally understood what "pray without ceasing" means to see things being changed. and it is not just one person's prayer to change things, but prayer of all who want to see it answered. it is a process, testing of patience and waiting for it to happen at the right time.

camp closing was emotional. who says life as a Christian was easy? i was reminded that our lives had to be broken for us to be closer and stronger to God. many personal sharings, many tears, many encouragements. nothing better to get all of us started afresh with God.

i must say that the camp booklet and souvenir was awesome. everything was personalized. my first reaction at seeing the camp booklet "WOW!" appreciate all the hard work that had gone into producing the booklets.

also had great time executing the games with Greg, Sharon and Samuel. thanks to Auntie Dora who roped us in for the recreation for campers. we were so afraid that nobody would be back for the games, but almost everybody came back to participate in our crazy. oh man, instructing 150-odd people (adults & youth) to play games is no easy task. but i am glad they enjoyed it. oh, Auntie Dora and myself made our 'sweet escape' when the Generals game was over. we managed to run away from the water bomb wars.

got to also play beach volley and ultimate frisbee. it was kinda tiring running up and down for the frisbee. beach volley was pain but fun. no pain no gain. had minor bruise as souvenir. was also surprised that a couple of adults actually can play volleyball. and i got myself just a little darker. it wasn't sunny hot, but it was good enough for me. i shan't complain.

oh, finale night was hilarious. HPC really has got its own talents. we are a multi-national church. hahaha! the youth did some wonderful dance too.

overall, i think there was no mistake in bringing the adults and youth together for this camp. thanks to the hardworking camp comm for putting these all together.

and... i think driving up to camp is more fun than riding the coach. you can take time to drive around and see places, eat, shop, etc... can't wait to drive up for the next camp when i am qualified to. nobody's stopping me from driving up. and i would like a sporty car to drive up. haha!!
and i passed J's estate when the bus was on its way back to Singapore. it was so near yet so far... could have just stopped over somewhere and go visit my animal friends.

good night...

right, and so i am a new toy and a human pet for 5 lovely canines. there were 2 others, but did not get to play with them as much cuz they were "quarantined" for reasons. but still managed to walk one of them and played with the other when she was in the house for a while (that is after the other 5 went to bed). i am missing them already...

seriously, i was never really a fan of dogs. only dog i got close to (before all these) was my cousin's dog in malaysia and that was like many many many many years ago. when i was still a young kid. but these canine friends of mine are too irresistible!!! they make me forget everything unhappy and put the littlest joy in my life. it will only be in my furthest dreams and wishes that i ever own a dog.

till i meet them again... *loves Titus, Silver, Jewel, Mocca, Jemma, Diamond and Coffee*

'some' people have been "complaining" that i do not update my blog.
but the fact is that, there is nothing interesting to write about...

anyway, worry not. i have not gone MIA-ed. just been "working" a little too hard. but it is all over now...

past 2 weeks had been tiring. long days and late nights... but the event ended on a blastful high... i never expected people who were serious professionals to also let their hair down and had the great fun all night.

well, indeed i had met many wonderful and nice people over the past 3 days. amazing delegates, speakers, hotel staff, etc etc...

oh, one of the most interesting things i got to learnt was the highly advance seamless switcher for projectors. running 2 laptops with 2 different sets of powerpoints, and with just one button, you can switch between 2 screens! how cool is that?! not only can it switch, but it can freeze the slide on the projected screen, and at the same time you can do other things on the laptop without people knowing! hahaha!! yes yes, i am easily amused and satisfied. at least i know of a new technology.

there was a debate on the 1st day, and it was really lighthearted and funny. i really had a good laugh over the statements and things said throughout the debate, as well and the question and answer segment with the audience.

ohoh, i was in-charged of the room where it ran the management track workshop. i had fun sitting in the session and to gain something out of it. the speakers were really entertaining.

alright, i am sniffing and coughing now. likely to come down with fever soon too i guess... i think i should be thanking Mr. X for airborning his bug around. considering that i was around him the last weekend and 3 days during this week. could also be that sleep was not sufficient enough to fight against the bug. however, i think i slept pretty well on thursday night, cuz i think we were totally exhausted. and yes, my sleeping partner was knocked out the moment she plonked herself on the bed after showering. haha! and now i know, you are quite a heavy sleeper when you are really really tired.

all i can say was, all things went well despite hiccups here and there. my fault, yes i know... i have tried my best. the people really appreciated all the efforts that went into it. =)

okok, shall end here and retire to bed...
