just came back from camp. great camp, everyone said. as for me, this camp has been the most spiritual that i'd been to. and since i love this presence of God and company of my brothers and sisters in Christ, i even like it more! like many people who attended the camp, i was blessed tremendously in this camp. i began to realize things that i hadn't noticed yet before.
first day
it was my turn to serve in Joy Kids Ministry and so i missed that Easter Sunday message. it was a pity. however, i still had fun helping out the kids. since Angela didn't want me involved in her activities (as usual), i paid attention to Hayden instead. it was his feeding time (porridge) so i volunteered to feed him rather than feeling useless with Angela. i don't know but i felt that she has become more and more rebellious as she gets older. it's not only me. other people is also getting this treatment from her. huh. but instead of complaining about this further, i rather pray that Angela will open up to me and accept me as a friend to her. yes God, i will not give up on Angela (no matter how irritating she may seem). anyways after the service ended, we had fellowship and oh yah! the baggage! hahahahaha! i should have told you this from the beginning.
since my smallest luggage was pretty big (i only filled 3/4 of it) and i couldn't possibly fit and carry the luggage onto the tram doors, i had to drag that thing a looooooooooooooooooooong way from Swaston Street to Flinders Street. it's about 3000 over steps, i think. i almost stumbled numerous amount of people while dragging the luggage across to church. my leg ached when i arrived at Victoria Uni. sobbb. but it's all worth it for Jesus Christ! =D i arrived super early and ci Merry and Stanley were so shocked to see the size of the luggage. they said that i am going for a trip to singapore for few days. =X then, soon came Sally and Valerie and others (Arrow people). i helped the two of them buy sushi for breakfast since they hadn't had the time to do so because they're ushering that day. them, i went in for PW.
after the service, we ate at Kim-Chi Tray. i ate beef bulgogi. pastor Jani (pastor from Jkt) sat diagonally to my left. so i got to know him while eating. ko Iwan introduced me to him too. i feel so afraid of him at first because i heard from Valerie that he can look into your past and so on. so i took a cautious approach towards him. well, i've always been cautious. then we went back to church and waited for our bus to come. while waiting, i listened to my iPod and did sudoko from the newspaper. after an hour of waiting, the bus came and people at the back were so happening. they were laughing and such. i was sitting at the front and so it's hard for me to join in the fun. i slept almost throughout the entire thing. zzz when we arrived at Lylebird Campsite, i was in awe of the place. it really is a campsite! i bet in singapore there's nothing like this one. it was really built on wood and timber. it was amazingly structured altogether. and the place was so clean. after everyone had settled down in the hall, ko Robert assigned us all to our own individual room/barrack. ^^ i was put together with majority of the girls. so i was quite pleased with the arrangement. then we had the introduction to the camp, ko Iwan prayed and Sally and Valerie began their instructions for us. we were grouped into 4 groups. in my group there was Nadia, ko Andy, Davin, Irene, Raymond, Conny, William and Filia. none of them i was particularly close with. but that's the whole point of this camp- to know more people in POJ. so i understood and accepted it. at first, i thought we are doomed to lose because we were quite different people. each and every one of us had a unique characteristic displayed throughout this camp. i think that was what brings us together in a united way throughout the entire camp. (to be cont'd)
