im back from camp! it was lovely! and for once, the messeges weren't boring. it wasnt hard to stay focussed and attentioned. also, before the start of the camp, i did make a lil promise to myself to get sth out of it. and i was contantly worreid of just wasting the time away letting the hours fly by. im glad that didnt happen :)
its been a week since the first day of camp. here i am on a dreaded monday again, stuck at home with nothing to do. though im suppsoed to be at dance now (still thinking of an excuse to give). obviously, when you're stuck in such a lousy situation, you start to think back, a week ago, we were all on the bus going towards tuas checkpoint talking rubbish on the bus and urm musing about the spoilt chair!! haish. now im getting the effects of how much i miss camp.
i always hate to have to revert to the normal mundane life and all that routine. :(
oh well but the camp was a very nice time. shared an apartment with sharon, my sis, prav and chris. there were 2 bedrooms. our house rocked! sis n sharon shared a room. and chris prav and i shared the other. we joined two single beds together and slept the other way. it turned out rather spacious actually!
rev tan's msges were good. but i guess it was the holy spirit convicting and working on each and everyone of us present. i too was convicted in several ways. and i have to seek to change my ways and habits. although work hasnt started on it yet :s
we walked up and down the beach on the second night. and went back up to the room shortly after. took a few pics by the poolside.
and most of the yfers were congregated in our room. after the second night, our room became known as the party central to the youths and the childcare centre to the adults.
at 12 midnight on dec1, they all started singing the bday song and brough the cake out. i really wasnt expecting a cake and all so i was thrilled. i just had a lil inkling that maybe they had planned sth but i didnt wanna think too much too. argh nvmind im contradicting myself. thank you guys.
hmm. why am i trying to recapp about the camp? i've already written down my true thots and reflections whilst others were sharing during the testimony time so i dont wanna do it again.
oh yes, one more crazy point, we found a copy of 'the teachings of buddha' in the drawer of sharon's room and down at adriel's place, was a copy of 'the holy quran' which he brought up on the first night to read about, and in our bags, each of us having a bible each. ahaha. and and..i actually brought 2 bibles! cos i couldnt decided whether to use kjv, or nkjv. im more attacthed to my nkjv bible, but the kjv one is the proper one used to preach the word of God.
right now, i can't wait to go to chiangmai. i miss taking a plane and flying. i want to get away from everything again.
popo was baptised yesterday. God has answered our prayers.
and the we rushed back to church at 130 for choir practice. stepping back, into newlife bp grounds, i felt this sense of familiarity and belonging i nv felt before. its like, this is My church, and i knew everything and everyone there. it's gonna be hard to leave should i ever one day. i mean we don't know what the future holds..
ok im going to lydia's place soon. havent done that in a long long time. then ballet after tt!
charlene said a lil' prayer for you at 9:57 AM
