Finally somewhat eventful life

The past 2 weeks have been really busy but very fruitful to me...ok, i had church camp, started my probation working at Lay's clinic, went for Aaron Wong's Christmas Party, 5Days Before Christmas(5dbc), had stayover at Sherman's house...
Church Camp
1st day, night actually, when the camp started by me leading for worship...I felt myself quite unprepared for this because some of the songs i was leading i could not even remember how to sing the verse! oh and i was supposed to like kickstart the camp, but i did not exactly hype the atmosphere up...when i ended with Amazing Grace with its amazing 8 verses...same tune different lyrics...everybody was bored out by it i think...i could see gerald yawning, oh well...anw after that was ice breaker game and we had to tie balloons to our feet and each team( BK, LJS, KFC and MAC) had to send representatives out to burst the balloons of the other team...that's when jh and i went wrestling on the ground and we both got abrasion on our feet...mine...one spot...his...as if went through war...and after that we had our name tags done up...
and that's all i remembered for first nite, oh that's also when i found my nua buddies that brought me great fun throughout the camp...


2nd day we had our first morning exercise...dan the man( as he wanna be called but i shall refer as dan from now on) who also happened to be our camp commandant led us in 5BX which included 20 push ups and even planks and some other exercises...ok la...i had nt been pumped for quite sometime anw... after that we had our speaker session by James on James...basically the book of James is about double-mindedness and most of us are in guilt of it as we could not bare to let go of worldly wisdom and commit ourselves fully to God's wisdom...James is a pretty good speaker i must say, although as days went by alot of ppl started to fall aslp during his session...We had lunch provided by LJ and Esther, 2 muscle women trained by all the chicken rice, horfun and fried rice they carried for us throughout the camp...THANK YOU!!! i found myself eating quite alot every single meal together with my usual clique in church, sherman, ny, jh. anw...we had indoor games whereby there were several stations we had to complete...we lost 3 members right from the start as they were in the comm and had to be station masters...but anyhow we still got second overall for indoor games...here are some of the pics:

The sian Esther


The classic picture of the happy family...look at the gal in blue...supposed father acting macho by choking the supposed son in his/her hand


The game where Belly answered Thomas Edison invented telephone


Sherman's station...guys gals segregated


Much Better...


The Game in which i was the pro juggler


After the Game



The filling up the bottle game



Belly with her cramped fingers



After the game, me ambushed by Belly, got wet not by the game, but by my very own comrade



3rd day was quite normal...we had our sunday service in camp tshirt...everyone was dozing off i could sense...Jh thought i was slping when i bowed my head down...he was dreaming...cuz at that point of time we were praying...and Sherman started telling me werid stuff like "those balloons on the wall make very good pillows" it's what happens when ur body is under great pressure from fatigue,lol...after that we had another speaker session, needless to say...slpy...and it was raining so we could nt have our outdoor game, so played captain's ball instead...the floor was wet, so everybody did not dare to run too fast...and something terrible happened...lj fell down from her chair while i was blocking her...it was a painful fall butt first...i felt SOO BAD, so i told her for the rest of my life...i'll...(wanna noe what i said? ask me personally, wahahaha) anw the game continued and we had this workshop at night which i thought was quite interesting...girls and guys were seperated...girls were given workshop on gossips and how to deal with it and i heard they felt it was very useful...for guys it was how to be a christian guy and we talked about all those stuff that we dun usually talk abt like sex, having a non-christian gf and some other stuff...we learnt quite alot on what to pray for and what is the right thing to do...and that marked the end of 3rd day...


4th day we had our last speaker session...which was also when i talked to James personally and absorbed alot on how to deal with our material desires and stuff...anybody interested can come ask me...i'll tell you what i can! anw after that was mega games...in other words the amazing race... i thought it was quite short as we oni needa find 4 checkpoints...i remembered planning the amazing race for my army commanders... we had 10 checkpoints per group and all different one, so had 40 in total...but anw...i am lazy to post pictures for this race so please go check my facebook for more pictures...den came night when everybody really enjoyed themselves from the night game...UNDERGROUND CHURCH! ok the game was new to me...but i was given a very important role, the pastor...we're in the envt whereby preaching was not allowed...so everything was done secretly...there're altogether 3 pastors...2 spies and the rest are all non-christians...the pastors had to convert ppl without the spies noticing...the spies' identity are unknown, so nobody knew who were the spies...so if the spies attended the preaching session, he could tell on the preacher by smsing to the game master and game master will inform the preacher to proceed to the torture chamber which included harsh punishments like pouring worms all over you, splashing water at you and whipping you with a balloon...so when the game started...i dragged lijun with me, she thought i was a non christian too...but anw we teamed up and did not allow anybody to follow the 2 of us as a big group looks suspicious...so we managed to convert quite a few ppl by our hyper preaching 3 in 1. anw lijun was called down to torture chamber halfway thru the game...i felt sooooo baad again cuz she was alw with me and i was supposed to protect her since i am e pastor and i tried not to preach to any suspicious ppl like glorijoy and luke(who are the spies indeed), oh well, in the end it turned out to be the game master read the name wrongly...so lijun was not supposed to be torture...oh well....i got over the fact abt 10 secs after she got caught though, and went on to find another helper...LOL! but anw we all had lotsa fun...and i was the only pastor who did not get caught to the torture chamber...nice... and we had no lights out timing this night, so we played all sorts of games like bridge, blockers, saboteurs until 5am...


last day was just cleaning up and revealling angel mortal...but anw this camp was really fruitful...i learnt quite alot of stuff and got to know alot more people in church whom i didnt even talk to last time. looking forward to next yr's camp!


ok this post is getting really long, so i think i'll post about other events some other days...tmr's my driving test...pray hard...
