amazing. thats one word out of many many words that can be used to sum up this year's church camp held in desaru. An experience to die for, not just because of the exciting and messy games, or the 2star accomodation that had light bulbs exploding every two hours, or the mass dance that included the interestingly named 'slice' move. What inspired the most refreshing change in me, was the way God worked in this camp. He was omni-present, and becos our focus was solely about seeking God and wanting to know Him deeper, He filled the camp with His presence and He was the best 'camper' for camp2002.

The first day was incredible, we boarded the coach for desaru and ended up sleeping most of the 3hr bus journey and den when we reached and checked in, we started the banner painting. wahahah i was in vermillion, and we had to create an alliteration out of that so we called ourselves the 'vermillion vodkas' and extremely apt name for my group which had the likes of steven crunch, hsia ling and josco. haha what was supposed to be an artistic work of talent turned out to b a messy banner. but owell. winning didnt matter at all to us, we just wanted to have fun and we just wanted to honour God.

Shan't go on abt the day's events or other days.. but God taught me many lessons. the first lesson was humility, a lesson i learnt everyday, and a lesson i'll be learning abt a lifetime. becos there were a few people who were difficult to work with in my group, i had to curb my temper and make sure i didnt lose my cool in the heat of the day becos it was church camp, and it did. i really swallowed my pride down and just did my utmost to be humble. my second lesson for the camp was patience. becos of 'that thing', it could have made camp very unpleasant, and i blamed God for not being fair. yet i did not have the faith to believe, and neither did i have the patience. these lessons are only a few of the major lessons we learnt, and for me, all i know is that camp this year was awesome, simply awesome. there are some people i want to thank for making camp bearable and so much more enjoyable.
