bible camp 2008 ~ expedition for christ!...a post from a ZIONIAN's point of view..
so yeah, i shall write about the very thing that spurred me to get this new blog...
lol..my english is gonna be very cacat so forgive me ;)
let's c, we'll start with sunday..(i have a tendancy to blog about long events..and make them even longer)
arrived at ccc...it wasnt as awesome as i xpected...dunno y..n yes, the days b4 i was so scared that camp this yr wud b dull n boring coz alot of ppl werent going..but u knoe wad? i was wrong about that....i shudnt have only thought abt the ppl and fun..but instead, abt learning and growing in HIM..
i was in team MOUNT ZION!..nat, zian, shuang, mel,serene, emily khong and emily ng..XD,edith, esther, and emm were inside oso..(these were the ppl that i already knew..P ) well...so i wasnt all that unhappy..steph k was in moriah..sad niar..=]..
we had the group cheer thingy, and well, we jus kept on getting hit and our defense and attack moves were pretty much the lamest...XDDD..hahass.no worries ppl!...we still did great! altho..i think if we were in real battle we wud have lost automatically...LOL
skittle ball din work out altho we were winning coz it started to rain!
after bathing, singing and dinner, we had the first talk from andrew cowell..the first of his three talks on temptations..i thought to myself, aish, this is getting boring..when will group devotion start? and u knoe wat? i think i jus wasnt mature enuf that time..it feels as if, i'm being changed bit by bit, coz now, i knoe, going to bible camp isnt jus 4 the fun and frenz..it's abt listening to GOD word...and growing in our walk with HIM..
group devotion was aite..but, well, we din knoe many ppl, and there was no introduction session, so it felt kinda weird too. i think we played the find a place to sit with ur butt game..XDD..lol..and man, was i fierce!...hahaha..it was a whole lot of butt-banging-against-ppl's-thighs...XD..and edith's toe nail almost came off...urghh..the thought of it...^^...
at nite, i stayed up to do our group banner..lol..(which i think was the nicest among th three groups!)..surelahh..our group was the only group that stayed up to do it...lol..the rest jus cincai do the next day coz this banner got no points wan maa..^^
MONDAY..
morning..woke up..well, was woken up by my bed partner and nat...haish..sori u guys had such a hard time...u guys are awesome..th'nx so much! well, u guys DO knoe thta i am a very hard person to wake up...wattodo? i'm a nite owl..not morning (bird?) laa..=P
we did devotion, at least can still concentrate..after breakfast, we went to clean the dorm..as usual i do the sink! well, i prefer it than doing the beds or the floor! ahh...seriously man...then, we had singspiration..and message from mr. andrew.the leaders went to the batu ferringghi hotel conference room or sumthing..i'm not sure lahh..then, we had discussion...discussion helped coz it enabled us to revive our memory on wad andrew had jus said..
after lunch, there was xplorace! lol..we were divided into two teams, one to youth park, and one going to the botanical gardens..lol..i was in the youth park group n we had to walk here walk there and find clues..so hard to find lehh..until finally..FINALLY...wei sheng found our first clue...LOL lahh man...we were like...ahh! DUMBFOUNDED....seriously..then yeah, we were half running..half jogging..saw daniel's group..saw yi xin and sam's group (horeb) oso...then josh came to help us....n we half ran half walked back to the bus with horeb..=.=..lol..and guess wad? we were the last group to reach back to ccc! lol..then, we had to do sum tasks..and then get sum stuff, and build skis! walao..that thing can seriously injure ur leg lehh..=)
after all the normal, dinner, bathe, singing...we had a message on SEX...hahahh..for those bible campers..u guys shudnt feel all that uncomfortable anymore rite? after looking at this word..?..
remember he said: sex is gud...sex was created by GOD..and remember most importantly...it is meant to be performed INSIDE marriage..hahas..n yeah..some of them copied 2 whole pages abt that topic..=)..u go guys!
then, we sang...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO U!!..to natty and sanjay..awwh..sanjay's birthday is actually on the 31st or sumthing like dat...=)..but we still celebrated it larhh..and rachel tee's b'day was on the 8th..but she malu want to stand up..
TUESDAY!
today, woke up, had devotion..then rushed down to take our camp photo...XD.awwhh..sum of us look weird in the pic...sum look gud..n sum look jus normal and all smileeyy...^^
after our 2nd message from andrew, we FINALLY had our first and last siesta..=)...at the beach i mean..this yr was realiiii tiring lahh....siesta was a real rare thing then..but all the same, it was awesome..
then, we were told abt BIBLE RUNWAY 2008..we got to do the sketch abt QUEEN ESTHER...and i was in the production and directing group..jez was under casting (but he din knoe anything abt it at all..XD)..nat,emily and wei sheng were under props..and rachel tee, edith, esther and some others were under songs...X]
the casts were as following:-
queen esther:rcst rachel chan! my bed partner..
haman:andrew lee!
king xerxes:daniel!
mordecai: kelvin!
the eunuchs: jezron ma man..n meng meng darling..
the bodyguards were titus and ben chan..and the xtra candidates were natty,zian,cheng hoi and emmilyn..awwhh...miss them loads..
under the script/production/directing team was jian (our leader)..me, shuang, titus..and a lil' bit of andrew..
at nite, we had survivor nite..there was fear factor and some of them had to touch some disgusting stuff like dead squids..worms eww..crickets..froggies!...i forgot the rest..LOL...
then, we did some other stuff...our group had serious miscommunications and breakdowns..n rite up till then..we din realise wad was realy going on..that it was realy all the devil's work..he was trying to break us apart..we put our pride in the way..in that was when Satan took advantage of our situation..
but this wasnt the only time we fell into temptation..
