Church camp was GREAT.

It made me experience having Christ in my life again. I think i really needed the spiritual revival. Haha. The bible says that God hears the prayers of the righteous. So when your heart is right with God, God will answer your prayer. And he really did!

DAY 1:

This yr i was the Asst. leader for my grp of 8. Our grp was called Wu ming dao(no name island). And we totally LOST in almost every single game.. and is really.. lose until veryvery cham la. We were stuck at one clue for a LONGLONG time.. so the other grps finish alr then we still had like 6 more clues to go >.<>

DAY 2:

We had bible quiz. The quiz was taken from the book of John which has 21 chaps. Its realli too much so i split the work-3 chaps for every person in the grp. I took chap 16-21. Yep. Admittedly i dint realli study for it cos i was jus too busy n tired during the camp. haha. but i still read thru la. Well anw the quiz came out stuff mostly from chaps 1-15!! so i really cudnt answer much of the qsns. zZz. Well i can't really blame my grp for not knowing their assigned chapters thoroughly enough too.. cos other than me n my leader, the rest are not really christians. So they dun really noe the bible very well.. n wudnt possibly rmb names n memory verses!

For the Qiang da section.. my grp stand up too slow.. all the free frag qsns give other grps. So we lost until VERY BAD too. I was like..>.<>

But it turned out to be really FUN. We went to Downtown East for a Photo Hunt game. Each grp was given ten words, and 1 hr to take pictures related to the words. Mus be creative of cos. argh i cant upload pics to show u egs. Anw one word was indian dancing, so my grp found a tree and posed ard the tree. AIYA i cant upload pics now. Irritating blogger! another day perhaps. Ok. haha. My grp worked realli well together n i had so much fun posing for pics n stuff! haha. But they give too little time.. we onli had ard 6 mins to do each word. The results were only to be released the next day.. so i dint really think my grp was gonna win(since it always dint) but at that point of time i felt that my grp had lots of positive attitude and team spirit so it dint really matter even if we lost anymore =)

At night after the message, they announced abt the Camp Skit(worth LOTS of points) and the christians n non-christians were splitted into 2 discussion grps. My discussion for christians was shorter.. so after that we were free to plan for the skit. Cos the non-christians werent done yet, only Me, my leader Abel and cousin Chloe were there to discuss. the Starting is always terrible. We were like.. ok.... cmon lets discuss abt the skit. Silence. Any ideas? Silence. Ok forget abt the skit lets jus talk abt random stuff. Silence. HAHA. really quite cham at first. Then Abel was talking abt some superhero high school thingy n i was thinking abt basing the skit on a real life story of out loser grp so in the end we came up with the main plot-

There are two grps of ppl in a superhero high school- the Cool grp with Cool superpowers(which represented wordly things like power, materialism n popularity) n the uncool grp with lousy powers. The uncool ppl try to get into the uncool grp but are rejected. So one member resorted to bribing the cool grp to get in, but he realises he doesnt find true joy with grp. The other uncool person is Alone now n lost. Then suddenly, in the darkness, the light shines on the spot on the ground, n a bible falls from the sky in front of him.(Mr bean song Ecce Homo plays) n he slowly picks up the bible n reads it, n is enlightened. Wen he meets the fren hu pang seh him, he is no longer hateful n shares the bible with his fren. His fren feels guilty n tells him abt the 'Evil plan' of the cool grp to kill his fave pet cockroach, Xiao Qiang. He tries to let Xiao Qiang run away, but jus then, the cool grp walks in and accidentally steps on it. Then, the epic battle begins, n the cool grp charges toward the uncool grp. The uncool ppl opens the bible n raises their hands n quote' For God so Loved the World...' the cool ppl scream in Pain.. n are defeated when the verse is finished.

HAHA. Drama. XD So we shared our idea to the rest of the grp later n they loved it!

Day 3:

The Last day of the camp, and today was really not just a BETTER day, but the BEST day. After the morning message, we had the whole afternoon to prepare our skit. The process was REALLY FUN. All the NGs n the new details n ideas that were added in jus totally ROCKED. Oh n my grp members act until very Funny. HAHA. I acted as Cilla, the lady-killer, and Abel doubled as narrator n the 'pretty girl' i used my powers to attract. HAHA. After i 'dian' him with my eyes, then we played the Cupcake song( u're my honey bunch.. sugar pie.. honeybunnyyumpkin you're my sweetie pie...ultra gay song!) den Abel danced to it! HAHA.

he dance until So gay it was jus hilarious looking at him. HAHA. Then to intro the 'Cool' grp, we did a short dance, den we do corny retro moves. Haha. n the two losers tried to show off their fighting skills den actually very lousy. That part was funny too. N the epic battle was really drama cos we circled each other den glare at each other n play some song n act until very drama. So FUN X) The other grps were really creative n great too.

My sis' grp was SO hilarious. They used childhood characters to make up the skit... had 2 little pigs.. the big bad wolf..magic mirror... cinderella.. very creative n funny. Escpecially the Cinderella part. Cos the big bad wold acted by a guy 'dressed up' as cinderella to attend the Prince's party. Then wen the Prince saw 'Cinderella', he say, Chio bu, then kneel down n asked to dance with him. HAHA. then the 'cinderella' slowly turn n act until very gay! Then they dance until very gay oso. Then later 'cinderella' had to leave, then the prince was like nooo..... then cinderella run in slow motion, turned n gave a flying kiss.. HAHAHA.. it was like HILARIOUS la. Aiya theres still lots to say but i shall jus stop here. Haha. So the point is, i thought our grp wudnt win the play cos of the strong competition.

But veryvery surprisingly, we won Both the Photo Hunt n the Play(probably cos we were more relevant to the theme of the camp) n turned our grp from ultimate Loser to Champion!! HAHAHA. Can you BELIEVE that. From wu ming dao to wu fen dao to You ming dao! Hahaha. i was so thrilled! Finally me n Jordan broke free from the losing curse. HAHA. XD

I think i really experienced Christ thru this experience, cos i think it really humbled me alot, and admittedly, at first i dint really have the best attitude towards the games n all.. i kind of lost my temper during one of the games cos i was Soo frustrated. I prayed to God pleasee dun let us lose so badlyyy.. my grp has been losing for 3 yrs alr!! But, we still lost SO badly to the pt of hopelessness. HAHA. Then it was later that my attitude began to change, God made me realised that i am a leader, so i shudnt jus be thinking abt mememe, i shud be thinking of how i can get my grp morale up n thinking abt whether the REST are having fun or not.. not whether I am having fun. And my grp is a really nice grp.

So i prayed to God, dear Lord i think my grp is really very nice n deserves more than this for their good attitude and team spirit. So i prayed that even if we continue to lose, that at the end of the day everyone wud have still enjoyed themselves. And i think God is really.. very gracious.. cos we were so Far from second place but eventually emerged Champions! We really never dreamed of that. The prize was-$40 of BK vouchers. HAHA.

Maybe u're thinking Why were u so desperate to win BK vouchers? like hu cares abt BK vouchers. HAHA. I'm thinking the same way too. Actually i dunno WHY i was so upset abt losing the games either.. i guess the feeling of losing jus sucks. HAHA. And try losing for 3 consecutive yrs. I felt like i was a bane to whichever grp i'm in. And i think i jus suck at games too. I cant strategize.. n im not observant.. n i'm not exactly tall n sporty... n i'm jus SO bad at captain's ball.

Maybe i felt like a total LOSER which i SO am at games that i was desperate? HAHA. So i guess to me, it was kind of a big deal XD not abt the vouchers... haha.. i dun care for BK vouchers. HAHA. hmm. why am i making such a big deal of this? HAHA.. not as if this is some int'l competition or what. i oso dunno why. HAHA! But, you see, why i think i really experienced God thru this experience is cos things only started to pick up for my grp, AFTER my attitude changed. So i believe that God has a purpose in everything he does. =)

N also, the camp made me see sides of ppl i NEVER KNEW. Like i never knew Abel cud be so talkative.. or that Kevin cud be such an inspiring leader. It's quite encouraging to see how God can work in ppl's hearts n totally change someone. It was really nice to see how ppl who used to take a backseat in church really stepped out of their comfort zone- Dongxing, Valerie, Kevin n Abel. They were simply AMAZING n once u see them lead, u'd jus see that God was working thru them.

Now i'm missing all the ppl like Benny bro, Elaine, cliffton, Kevin, Dongxing, Val, Abel, Aunty Aileen n Uncle Sunny n my Wu Ming Dao grp. Haha.


I'm still in camp mood now.. supposed to be studying.. but slept until 11 am this morn(due to sleep deprivation since sunday) n i'm still feeling lethargic. Or maybe it's all in my mind...cos i jus dun wanna face the fact tt i still have to study for mid yrs?? >.< Suffering from camp withdrawal now.

Missin



God is so good.. He's so good to me=)
