YLDP 2008

I wanted to update on YLDP but was too lazy.. lolz. I shall just talk about the activities we did there. It's gonna be a long one.. So here goes......

[Day 1]

Met at GMC sentul in the morning and waited for the bus that arrived at about 11.. So got in the bus and off we go!! Stopped at Tapah rest house for lunch. Then reached campsite at exactly 2.33pm. Mel guessed that we will reach at 2.34 and we reached 1 minute early!Scary but cool...
Then went in to register and all that. And they couldn't find my name tag! They asked me to take my file n sit first then later come back. Then briefing started and there was ice breaking.. And the we had to find ppl with name tags with diff braile alphabets. Then went to look for my name tag and it was in someone's bag.. Thank God. haha
Then i found out that I'm in the same group as Jonathan.. *wierd* And the best thing is i'm sleeping in the dorm! Mel's dorm was just next to the hall and mine was next to her's. lolz.. The others were in tents.. BTW, my group is Emerald.. Then we had team building. We went into the river and someone from each group has to get a fork in the water using their mouth. Then there was the 12 feet wall. So sad only get to play 2 games.. The 3rd one we were supposed to roll an egg with our head then get a paper from a basin of flour.. Luckily when it was about to be my turn it started to rain!! haha. so i escaped.. XD
Then wash up, dinner, praise n worship and plenary session.. P n W and plenary was really good.. Although there was a blackout at the hall we had it at the ampheteather.. Was a great experience.

[Day 2]

Woke up at 6 then went for prayer at 7.. The first session for lvl 2 was about knowing our own heart. It was ok.. Then during connecting time we were given assignments for fun night.. Each team had to make up a cheer.. We didn't really thought of anything but crap. haha. But then we decided to do a step dance. So i thought one of the parts i learned from Mel.. haha. Then later the next day (i think).. i thought of a cheer:
E-M-E-R-A-L-D
Emerald, that's who we are

But it sounded a lil wierd.. haha we thought about "emerald that's who are we" haha. Wrong but it rhymes! haha. then that night i had a great idea!!
E-M-E-R-A-L-D
Emerald will rock your world!
Yeah, we'll rock your world!

The team building on 2nd day was each team will have 4 feet, 2 eyes n mouth, 1 hand and 1 mouth.. All have to be blindfolded except the eyes n mouth.. My team did quite ok, except for the part where we were getting out from the hall.. haha. The other activities were the same everyday

[Day 3]
Woke up at 6.15
Everyday was about the same only the teambuilding and sessions are diff.. The session was about red flags which means 'DANGER'.. The speaker was ps Timothy Lam.. He came to my chruch's camp last year.. We were divided into 3 groups to act the story of David, Samson and Joseph... David's story was the funniest coz Nicholas Aw was Bethsheba..lolz
During connecting time, more assignments!! Each team has to come up with a sketch. Diff teams had diff tittles:
1. Selling a comb to the hairless
2. Selling aircond to Eskimos
3. Selling DVD to the blind and deaf
4. Selling curry chicken to someone in the desert

My team was the 4th one.. Our's are one of the funniest.. We had a really good idea. We had mirages, the seller will convince the person in the desert to buy by showing him a really really long list of ingredients and the advantages of the curry chicken.. lolz.
The advantages:
1. Gives u good complexion
2. The blind can see
3. The deaf can hear
4. The lame can walk
And finally he had to give away free water before he accepted it.. lolz. Then it ends with the dying guy getting the curry chic and the seller running away with the water..
The team building on this day was to do something with an egg so that when thrown from high up won't crack.. My team wrapped the egg with straw n newspaper with lots of celo tape and a parachute with the plastic bag.. And it succeded!! haha.. Many teams did parachutes as well but with diff designs.. The other assignment is we had to draw a logo for our own teams..

*TOLD YOU IT WILL BE LONG*

[Day 4]
Woke up at 6.30
We had a fun teambuilding this day.. It was something like a treasure hunt.. Everyone was like running around everywhere.. Funny thing is my team was so relaxed while others so tensed up.. haha
We also had another assignment to think of 3 things we learned during the camp and act,sing or dance it out.. My team chose to act which was the easiest..

[Day 5]
Woke up at 6.40
Notice the time i wake up is getting later n later each day.. =P
There was another session which was the effects of media. We had the whole day free till fun nite.. So we got to practice n everyone prac n did a great job for the night.. The night was supposed to be a palace team which didn't exactly worked though.. Coz all our performances were cut off in between.. Kinda sad actually, we prac so so hard for it.. Some teams din even get to perform..
Then at one time the king sent the queen away n got another queen n guess what, it was me! He asked for a fashion show from 1 girl from each team to model for our nametags.. Then he chose me which was so wierd.. Then he suddenly ask me, "My Queen, are u hungry?" When i answered yes, he will say i'm not and when i answer no, he said otherwise.. Swt........
The funniest part was when some of the helpers came out to perform the song I want it that way.. Everyone was laughing like mad. But overall it was not very good, many ppl said last year was better. At least we still did had fun during the camp.. So yeah, the final night was over... Everything passed so fast!!

[Day6]

Woke up at 7.15, skipped morning prayer.. Everyone in my dorm woke up after 7.. haha
It was like the last day of all other camps nothing special only we had the commitment where ps Dr. Herbert Tan asked if anyone is ready come out, take the mic, say "As for me, I will serve/follow/walk with the Lord forever".. I went up too.. Then we left after lunch when it started to rain and found out that our bags can't fit in the place to put luggages in the bus.. We all got wet before we got into the bus.. We still did had a fun time in the bus also.. Everyone was so active and noisy unlike last time when everyone was so tired they fell asleep like a few minutes after the journey home started.. lolz.


That's all from the camp.. Wish i had the photos to upload. This post is boring right? haha.. Maybe i should steal some photos from others.. lolz.

PHOTOS COMING UP IN THE NEXT POST!!

23 Minutes In Hell

I just found this website about the book, 23 Minutes In Hell. This guy actually went to hell and experienced it for 23 minutes. Hell is really really a thousand times terrible place to ever go to when u die.. Although 23 minutes is not a very long time but it's horrible enough. Imagine ppl being there for eternity or even yourself! Everyone should read this whether you're a christian or not. It's true! So, PLS GO TO THIS WEBSITE AND READ!!



http://www.spiritlessons.com/Documents/BillWiese_23MinutesInHell_Text.htm



If u didn't read till the end,i want u to know that there is only ONE way to escape HELL.. That is through Jesus who was crucified and died on the cross for YOU and the whole world! He took up the punishment for ALL our sins. Not only that, He died and rose again on the third day after his death and will be alive forever. If you want to be a christian but don't know how, just say this simple prayer. This might be the ONLY chance. You'll never know what will happen the next minute.. I don't want any of you to miss this.. PLS...

"God I believe in You. You are my Creator. I am a sinner. I sinned in many points, willfully, and unconsciously. I've fallen short. I've missed the mark. I'm stained with sin. Jesus I believe in You. You are the eternal Son of God. You're the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, who takes away my sin. I believe You died on a cross. Shedding Your innocent blood for my guilty soul. I believe You were buried and on the third day You arose. You are alive forever more. I call You my Lord. I call You my Savior. I give You my life. I will love You, serve you for the rest of my days. I belong to You, the good parts, the bad parts, the sinful parts, all my plans, all my dreams, I give everything to you. Thy will be done in me. I believe I'm saved. Not by good works, but by faith, by trusting in You. In Jesus I pray. Amen."


And i have to tell u.. Jesus is coming back very very soon. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN BUT SOON..
This time He is coming as a judge and he will take those who believe with him up to heaven and leave the others behind. After that, the world will be like hell. So you really don't want to be left behind.. I don't mean to frighten u but its true..
Revelation 22:12-13
12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

The Braces In Me

Wow, din realize how long ago my last post was.. I will most probably be staying at Nicole's hse till the holidays end and hopefully my hse renovation will be done before Jan. haihz, cant believe i have to stop hip hop class this month.. It's the only time where i can dance and exercise!! argh.. I really really wanna continue this month.. But if I continue, next week i wont be able to go coz I'll be off to YLDP for 6 days.. And on the last thursday of Dec is exactly on Christmas Day. Anyway, i cant believe YLDP is 6 days! Last year was 5 days but many ppl think its not enough so they extended it this year.. But actually I dont really want it to be so many days coz 5 days is actually just enough. 6 days sounds boring. Well, i know it will be fun and I will get to feel God's presence.. So i guess the next time i'll blog is after camp on the 14th Dec..

I got braces on last saturday.. Din expect pain when i eat.. LOL. I thought it would just be uncomfortable but its not just that.. Whenever i eat i cant feel whether i'm biting enough or not and i cant bite hard stuff or bite fast.. So now I eat like Mel, slowly.. Haha. Mayb this can help me loose weight!! Lol.. But thank God i'm getting used to it alr. There is somthing good about it, now i can take pictures showing my teeth coz my teeth wont be shown so clearly and i actually look better with it on! haha. I only have to wear it for 6 months! wohoo... I guess some ppl wear it for 2 or 3 years?? Oh ya, it's just on my top teeth so it didn;t hurt as bad as other ppl who have braces on the top and bottom teeth.. So by my birthday next year it shld be removed!! Yay!!

*Looking forward to go home on Friday nite!! HOME SWEET HOME!!

PD TRIP

Note : This was supposed to be posted on 16/11 but I couldn't upload the photos..

Just came back from PD.. It wasn't what i expected..LOL
I expected a sunny and beachy place but when we reached there on friday afternoon it was raining... But at least the hotel is a nice place with a big and deep swimming pool and it's connected to the beach. And the next day it rained in the morning and the tide was kinda high, there was no beach..so sad. Overall it was quite boring. All we did was eat, go back to the room, walk around, go toilet, eat, walk around, go back room and so on... Didn't even step into the pool. We did walk at the beach and found out that part of the beach is where all the waste water come out from. Disgusting.........

But the good part is that the food there was good.. Yesterday night we had a ready BBQ-ed dinner.. haha. And i think the drinking water they serve is sweet.. Nicole couldn't stop drinking the water everytime we had meals.. LOL

We took some photos on the last day!! yay! So here they are.........

















This pool's deepest height id 8 feet!!

One more week!

I know i haven't been updating my blog for quite some time.. Was busy with exams and now that my hse started renovating, i can't get to the comp..And then i have piano exam next friday!! Really have to practise!!! ahhh.. Very stressed.. At least now that i joined back hip hop class which i stopped few months ago, i can release stress by dancing and also for exercise.. Feels sooooo good to have muscle aches again after one year without cheer. I just love to dance and learn new choreographies!!

I'm going to PD with my family today.. It's my dad's company trip. Will update when i get back!!

Happy 21st Anniversary!!

Sunday was my church's 21st anniversary.. Had a buffet dinner on saturday and we did a performance.. A hand mime to the song We Are The Reason.. We actually had to cover ourselves up to our faces.. Some of them wore the winter thing on their heads which make them look like robbers as what the sunday school children called us.. haha. Others were wearing skirts on their head.. hahaha. Mel came up with the idea. It was so funny, we looked like Arabians. And who said guys can't wear skirts.....on their heads!! Some of them said we look like ninjas.. haha. Whatever it is, we did this for God..
Sry it's kinda far. ENJOY!

Those were the days.....

I know i should be studying... Finals started yesterday!! Thanks to next door's renovation, i can't concentrate.. If i fail, its their fault!!

Haihz.. I'm really really missing cheer.. I wish our school would be supportive instead of tearing us down... What reminds me of cheer are:
1. Watching 5 Jingga
2. Watching videos on youtube
3. Listening to songs that are cheer-ish
4. Seeing and wearing my cheer shoes to school.. haha
5. Doing cacated cartwheels with Melody
6. Someone telling me there's a cheer camp end of the year
7. Watching something like a documentary about cheerleading on channel E
8. etc...

I can't believe theres a cheer camp this year!!! Too bad it clashes YLDP which is from Dec 9-14 and the cheer camp is from Dec11-13.. And its the same price!!

Back to missing cheer... These are the photos in random order..

Cheer 08
When we were practising almost everyday for Cheer 07, we became so close that we missed each other after the competition. We hugged everytime we see each other in school. I know that in others teams, they aren't as close as us.. We even created a family tree..
Haihz.. Really missed those days.. But it's over now, go on and take a bow.. haha
Now thx to our unsupportive school, Seraphim is dead..
