Next thing

Actualli i tot i got lots of things to update but i guess i'm wrong. Age is catching up and the brains dun seems to function like before. It is taking way too much nap and way too long to think. Ai yah! I remembered i was studying v hard for my exams. Puke! I just feel that I'm better off as a farmer or peasant somewhere else in the country side. Peace and quiet. Easy-going. Singing in the fields. (well i'm not very sure if that will affect the crops' growth) Milking the cows. Staring into the diamond-filled sky. Wow! What a beautiful sight! And i guess the pasture is always greener on the other side. IF i was really tat farmer, I most probably complained that life is so routine and boring and really hope I could go out into the world and exposed myself to all the challenges. Life is a paradox, if one is not contended. SO i guess, it still best to be contended and give thanks to God for everything becoz God knows the best for us.

Ok! I remember i miss the youth camp at All Saints' Church becoz of my exams. It was an evangelistic outreach camp and i had always wanted to go to such camp, firstly to encounter the work of God and secondly, to learn how to run such camp. And also i just love to see people responding to God and going forth to accept Christ. It's not so much of self-satisfaction but i rejoice with the Angels when children of God return back to Him. But some of the youths went down as assistant leaders. And I really pray that God has done some 'things' in their life too. I hope that they dun go for such camp, enjoy the 'sensation' and then it is lost. But I prayed that the Lord will touch their hearts and really feel the compassion to spread His word. You dun need to be an evangelist to evangelise. In our daily life's encounter with our loved ones, let's us seize that opportunity to show them the Light.

Yes! the next thing is the family camp. It was from 12 June- 15June. As i had a paper on 15, i could onli stayed until 14June. First nite was relatively free and easy. Had a youth gathering at nite, den after tat, stayed a bit longer in Daniel's room to watch Ru Hua! haha! Evil! Den next morning was a hectic day for me. In fact, I considered a horrendous day for me. I was supposed to lead worship for the morning and evening session. And during the morning ice-breaker, I acted too garang and shouted at the top of my voice to create atmosphere. Yah rite. Act smart and act cute! Ended up i lost my voice and i couldn't lead worship but have no choice. I lead with such broken voice that i felt like ending my life. Well! NOt much of choice. Carried on leading. Then followed by Rev. Wong's message about Affirming our brothers and sisters in Christ. After that, we had lunch and went to the Theme Park. Went to the dry one. First time taking theme ride and very excited. Of all the rides, the Lost in the Gold City and the Tomahawk were the best. In fact, Tomahawk was the killer. It rotates 360 degree. I nearly puke. Drank too much during lunch. Then some of the youths v funny. Xin Ling was like "MA MI, I WILL NEVER DARE TO TAKE THE RIDE AGAIN". Oh my goodness. I tot she broke out into tears. Den thankfully every ride, i sat with Ding Yi. Becoz both of us are of substantial volume and when we sit together, we kinda act as cushion for one another and we restricted each other from moving about too much in the seats. haha. After tat we went to take 3 water rides. COol man! I'm loving it. But after the rides, i regretted taking it. I shouted too much AGAIN! Well you shd know wat that means. Den I had injured my back before and the rides are real bad for the back. End up having a slight back pain. So I shdn't say much abt the Evening worship svc. Den there was ministry time and i wasn't prepared and i didn't have enough songs. OH! MY! What a mess! But thkfully David was there to salvage. Despite all these big 'hu ha', i still give thks to God for His grace and mercy. Then tat nite didn't go for supper becoz was a bit down. Dun know why. Not sure if it is becoz of the worship session but somehow i felt that i went to the camp not well prepared. I meant more on the Spiritual side. That's something for me to take note when i go for camp again. The heart and spirit must be right.
Then next morning, after the morning session and the games, I left with David and Veron. Reached S'pore abt 6.30pm. Then slept and woke up to study for exams.

Actualli, those youths who are out there reading my blog. I just wan to tell you something. I have been trying to teach you all something. Though i did it discreetly but it is actually quite frequent so it is not tat hard to miss. And i say this with no pride that i also do it by example. And i hope you all can see it and its value and you yourself embrace that value. I won't tell you what it is. The only clue i will give is that I do it after nearly every major events. I ask last year youth mission team members to do SOMETHING for some people after the trip. I ask most of the youths to do SOMETHING for some people after the Easter Outreach. I ask the youths that went for the camp to do SOMETHING to someone. I did something to the people who help out in the WOrship during the camp. I hope you all can see that value becoz it may not matter much to you but it matters alot to other people. And i guess this is the first lesson we learn during the camp - Affirmation. Well! it's for you to go and figure out. And if you want an answer, you can always check with me. No prize for right answer!
