One week into my Holidays
Wow! More than a week actually into my holidays....And yet it feels like I've left the campus for so long already.....Sitting here alone in cyber now...still in cyber? Yes...and enjoying the super fast connection....I finally get to download a satisfying amount of episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway...Wanna know why it's so precious to me? haha..ask my housemates...
Got busy right away after the last final paper. Yes. IMMEDIATELY. One hour after the paper, there I was, on the way to Committee Retreat...sighz...ex-comm has to attend it to.
Building houses with cards
My last meeting with Comms. All the best guyz for next yr!!
IF Camp 2005
CCC Penang always had a place in my heart. It's almost like a benchmark for me. I first came to this campsite really young. Probably 5, 6 yrs old. Yup. It was the northen SU camp. My parents were camp officers, and they tagged me along as well. I remember during that time Uncle Michael Lee of SU would put me on his broad shoulders, and his thumbs up...and I had the liberty of 'controlling' my 'robot' around. Yup. I really enjoyed myself. I remember swimming in the same shores too...sleeping in the same dorms downstairs...yes folks...since the beginning of age, downstairs has been for males only. Please don't ask me why. I'm dazzled too.
Since then, I kept coming back to this campsite..for different camps too....I knew this camp was gonna be emotional for me. It was the first IF camp I attended. First time I met the graduated seniors too. And it was gonna be last time I see them too. At least some of them. First day, at the first meeting, I was standing at exactly the same spot I stood 3 years ago....where I met my first senior...Joseph Wong. I turned around, and there he was standing behind me that day too. Awesome isn't it, the way how things end the way they started.
Rest of the camp was predictable. I realized that I was really a seasoned camper. Not boasting, really. I attended camps since childhood. Everything was really predictable. Ah, unless if you wanna talk about the 'team building' game we enjoyed.
Honestly, it's really more fun being game masters of that game if you're playing. I won't talk about anything else except the ending. Boy, it was really an experience. If you knew me well, I love watching war movies. Especially the way the leader stirs his men before the battle begins, when they look at the enemy gathering their troops. Here was I, and a few other 'Nazghuls' , ready to be 'slaughtered'. Knowing that we will lose, we set out not to give mercy anymore. I remember as we stood there, in a single file horizontally, we saw the amount of 'enemy' campers marching down. As they got nearer, for some reason, I sense fear. I'm serious, man. Though it was just a game, I felt my knees grew a lil weaker and my heart pounding. Though we were 'posing' as really 'yeng' , inside me, I'm shaking, man.
The multitudes were scary. Slowly, they advanced to our line. 'Sauron' Ken was saying " Steady, steady, hold the line....." Our plan was wait till they come really close, then we charge. It was really a breathtaking scene. They advance in tight formation at first, meter by meter. Then as they getting really close, out of nowhere, from the crowd, the 'orcs' and 'elves' broke out from within the crowd. We couldn't see them at first. They charged. The Ken said" CHARGE!" That was all I needed to hear. We broke out down the wings of the field. Well. the rest was history. Really nice experience. You should try it one day. Haha.
MOB CAMP 2005
I didn't really learn much from the sessions from IF camp. No offence to anyone, some were things I already knew. I had many questions, and things which I needed to settle with God. Though I kinda regretted at first going to this camp, I knew, this was my last shot to find what I wanted. Even before attending the camp, while I was driving, I said " God, let me find you in this camp. " Well, to cut the long story short, I came back smiling. ;)
It was amazing how every session, was targeted at every issue in my life that either needed healing or answered questions...directly at me. Not only that, I believed God has put something in my heart which I thought I was already done with. Will elaborate on that another time. ;) But one thing which God restored in me, was the healing from being hurt by others. I thought at first that I've settled it in my heart, but actually, it wasn't completely healed. I had breakthrough there. I was set free. The other issue was faith. Somehow along the line last sem, it kinda slipped through my fingers. I felt that I couldn't see God. I started asking questions. Jesus healed that part in me too. Lazy to elaborate. Wanna find out more, come ask me lar. Happy to share with you personally. ;) 2 important words that came to me: Love and Passion.
I just wanna point out, that to grow, we need breakthroughs after breakthroughs in our lives. Actually it was Ps Phillip that pointed that out. And when it comes, and you know that it's your time of breakthrough, but somehow you pulled back, and wasted that chance, you'll just go back to where you were. You won't move. You won't grow. Sometimes pride can suffocate and choke growth. I still have many areas in my life I need to change, big time. And I know I need to discipline to do so.
To some people reading this, I have something for you. I don't really wanna think anymore about the existence of God or anything like that. I know just one thing. I believe in Jesus. I take step to BELIEVE in Him. We just need to believe, my friend. The our eyes will be opened to the realness of God. ;) O taste and see, that the Lord is good. He is good to me. Look up, and you will find that He is good to you too. :)
Some pics I took at the camp. It was taken on the last day, thus the same T shirts everywhere. haha.
Yes, camp got full band now. Super Chun.
Our games group, which I found out that I was the assistant leader only one day earlier.
Jit Nee and Me.
