paiseh eh,so long never update blog already
so since esther have been nagging at me to update,i shall update
have been pretty busy,first with common test,
then with camps during the 2 week holiday
i shall talk about my church camp first:D
Turning Points camp was AWESOME!!
haha,it was a 4 day 3 nights camp,so spent a
really good and meaningful time with fellow WEB Youths
we played games and had sermons and morning devotion
first day,everyone in my group, Grey Whales was so quiet and
poor asaph was there trying to make everyone as high as him..haha
so after much effort and games and some warming up with one another,we began to open up
we had this amazing race thing which was really tiring but fun!
so on&off we would kena road-blocks by the game master (trolls)
and our group got a very interesting road block twice
the first time we were already outside sembawang park, and our
road block was to ask some stranger where is sembawang park
so we asked the people living opposite sembawang park
and when we asked,the auntie and uncle gave us a weird look
and said "neh,na bu jiu shi sembawang park liao lor!"
meaning,isnt that sembawang park! HAHA,totally made ourselves a fool,but its ok;D
the other time was when we were already IN sembawang park
and had to do the same road block,so we asked some stranger in the park
we got the same weird looks and answer..haha,it was totally hilarious
then we also had station games where my group completed the stations really fast
so the guys in my group invented some game where one
person had to squat under a cone while the other person throws in a water balloon,
and the balloon will burst and water will splash at the person
so we played this while some others watched in awe
while games were all fun,there was a more important part to the camp:
the sermons and the thought-provoking sessions where we discussed qns abt christianity
certain part of worship was especially emotional and we could just feel God's presence there!
it was great having the privellege to worship our God and
to worship with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
there were many other things that happened but its just too much to say it all here
all in all,this camp has taught me many things!
There is one thing i really want to share with non-believers
this is just so true and worth giving a thought about it:
If God saw that the greatest problem/need of the world was economy,
He would have sent an Economist
If God saw that the greatest problem/need of the world was education,
He would have sent an Educator
If God saw that the greatest problem/need of the world was entertainment,
He would have sent an Entertainer
If God saw that the greatest problem/need of the world was technology,
He would have sent an IT expert
BUT, God saw that the greatest problem of the world was SIN
Therefore,HE sent a Saviour,Jesus Christ,who died for our sins
yeah,think about this... :D
so now i shall move on to trial camp
though it was only a 2 day 1 night camp,
it was kinda tiring and i actually lost 1.5kg!
the things we did were pretty similar to FOC,just that in a smaller scale
games were about the same,but were still fun!
then we also learned some new cheers and worked on the cheers we know
and we had the most dreaded nightwalk too...
i was so freaking scared before nightwalk till the point that
i was having goosebumps that doesn't go away and i was feeling so cold
though i knew it was impossible the SGLs would let us walk in pairs,i was still hoping we wouldn't have to walk alone
but in the end,we still had to walk alone
so waiting was really a torture cause u r constantly getting freaked out
just hearing others screaming in their nightwalk
so after a super long wait,it was my turn..
i really dreaded it,especially the sight of the lift
i always hated the lift part of nightwalk,cause somehow the
SGLs decorating skills are just awesome enough to make u go trembling!
so hesitantly i entered the lift,hoping to get out ASAP
then coz i didn't know if there was anyone inside,i started talking
i was like:"hello,anyone there" for 3 times,but i got no reply and the lift was so quiet
so i thought,ok,there isn't anyone
then some people suddenly grabbed my leg and i started
screaming and they started screaming too
so when i finally got out of the lift i walked super cautiously to prevent
myself from getting scared by some SGLs hiding somewhere
unfortunately,most of the time the SGLs succeeded in making me scream D:
so when i almost finished the nightwalk,just only needed to open the door,
renee pushed the door from outside and i just screamed again
then the 2 AGLs outside laughed at me..like so malu eh..
woah,but after the whole nightwalk,my heart just
literally felt so tired from having to jump so many times
then some ppl still said it wasn't scary...
looks like i really gotta boost up my courage before FOC then
2nd day had some really dirty games with planta,eggs,flour and others!
lectured,cheered,home sweet home! :D
aiyoh,my hand very tired already,got to go now!
bye!
