yeap, YI camp 08 has finally come to an end.
It was all so memorable and fun for this camp, seriously.
I learnt alot from people around me and including my leaders!
But still, it was definitely the holy spirit who was guiding me all these while.
Man, serving in the games comm really gave me a lil kick.
But now that the camp's is over, is time to celebrate Jesus's birthday!
AND, i'm definitely gonna blog about some things that happened in YI camp!
okok, gonna start with day 1 !
Started with with registration and stuffs...
THEN THE DAY 1 GAMES! Thank God i was allowed to play man!
Really had so much fun! I really like super surf and guazi machinegun!
OHOH! And not forgetting spongeball!
hahas, we all had that unity in us and it makes everything so strong!
In the end, our group got 6 out of 9 games done, it was fantastic!
OH! I've not talked about our tribe, THE GREEN TRIBE!
Yea, our tribe was called Master Chief and it was the Halo character!
Man, Green tribe really came out with a real looking robotic suit for Jeffrey and it looks really sweet!
Sorry for the sidetrack, yea, after that first day of the games ended.
It was dinner time and not long after that it was the first session!
Talked about paul and silas how they overcome those Jail moments like praying and praising!
Praying hard is really important cause to me, prayer is not just a word, but an action that helps us to communicate with God ANYTIME.
I was a guy who really don't count on prayers in the past, but i defintely remember this point when giana talked to me about prayers and told me importantance about it and it really speaks to me alot. Ever since then i relied on prayers.
Prayers allowed me to 'chat' with God, it wasn't really those serious moments but rather, it was like a friend to friend kind of chat. Kinda cool. LOL
Alright, the first day passed really quickly, i had rehearsal for the next day's skit and it lasted till 11 plus! It was late and it really tore me down after i went back to bunk.


Day 2 of YI camp!
Second day! It was another fantastic yet tiring morning...
Had breakfast and service later on! And the title was Jesus Christ!
The sermon was really speaking about this God that is everywhere!
The sermon was about the presence of Jesus and sometimes, Christmas is always something people thought of a day of celebration and receiving presents, but there was something more than that, it was the birth of Christ Jesus!
There was this line that really spoke to people and it was the presence of Jesus challenges the 'live easy' lifestyle!
Living easy is equivalent to living in our comfort zone.
Ps Daniel talked about living in our comfort zone before and he said that we as christians should get away from our comfort zone and serve Him in all circumstances.
In Jesus, there is always something happening, He will wake us up in our confusion and He will help us see things that we never see before!
To me, everytime i'm confused, i'll talked to God and asked him those questions.
Sometimes He gave me weird answers that i can't comprehend but i'll find ways to search it out!
I like the second service, it speaks to me more about how this Close Kin of mine relates to me in my life.
He talks to me and He encourages me and also, He's always there for me! :)
Ok, i won't post every single session but i'll choose those that impacted me throughout this camp!
Hope that they can impact you too!!!
Ok, after session 2, we had the day 2 games!
I was in it for the 'Villains past'
I had lotsa fun that day even though what i played was just a simple scissors paper stone game. Because i get to know new people through that!
I know people like Wei Jian, Zhong Hua and Gideon too!
Hahas, and also people like mervyn and debbie!
These are fun people man! Always so hype up and everything!
After the games were over, Green tribe got the most medals with brown tribe!!!
Hahas, but after that, i got ultra exhausted!
So i just had a rest at the canteen and i saw BRX with J-koh and Muscle ming.
After that, BRX came to me and talked to me.
I was really encouraged by him as he tells me his story.
I did not mend any lies or talked any rubbish in front of him but what God told me that time was, talk to BRX.
He told his life, how he become a christian and how God could use him.
That moment, i thought of, how God could use me?
I always wanted to be a DJ, and i'm not even sure if that's really God's calling.
But what i've learnt from him was, sometimes we just gotta try things, cause by trying new things out, we might get closer to God's calling!
Honestly, i like talking to BRX, he really can make me laugh and listen attentively everytime when he has something for me.
It felt like asif God wants me to learn something, and i really thank God for him!
Really so encouraged by his word man.
Alright, after that i went for dinner and service!!
Ok, this is so God for this session!
Guess what happened man, pastor Gylnn preached about HOW GOD CAN USE ME.
It recapped to me of what BRX told me that afternoon.
YOUNG christians! Even if you are young in faith, God can still use you!
That session was fantastic, i wrote alot of motivational notes down that time.
God can use us all day and all time, So what if our past hinders us, we just gotta put away that past and pray for tmr!
For the present, we just gotta do our best for that day and that's it!
why?
Because God is always always always always there!
Sometimes, when God is using us, we get criticised by people but what i learnt was, God was just getting us ready, and we just have to pray and follow him.
Easy to say but not easy to do right? Try lo, cause we might never know what may happen!
Brx talked to me about another thing too, about our dream.
I told him about me wanting to become a radio DJ.
But i've never thought of how to serve God in that career.
Till now i'm praying for my calling.
Well, just gotta see how it goes.
After that, got day 3 skit to do and it was another late night for me.


Day 3 of YI camp!
Yea, to me, that day tht was most anticipating was the game.
Had so much fun on that day preparing games and knew more people through that day.
Thanks all the day 3 games comm people!!
Treasured those time with them, hahas, it brought back to me now when BRX told me this!
Sometimes we need friends in church to support us and to make us feel like staying in church as well.
Friends really brings us together sometimes, even if it's someone we just know, it's always worth to be that person's friend, because everyone needs to be encouraged.
To be encouraged is like bring loved by people, being recognized by people.
I know that friends are always there, sometimes they may forget us, but still, we are a church!
God is such an awesome God.
Through a conversation, He talked to me about the whole camp already.
Really so so glad to know Him at such a young age.
That day's praise and worship was fantastic!
They sang the song 'solid rock' and it really was really electrifying!
Oh yea, Melissa sang the song 'You'll come' by brooke fraser!
Berry very nice! Bet she can start her own christian album soon!
Speaking about her, my impression would be xin long. LOL
I knew him in day 3 too, talked to him and really had a funny conversation with him!
Wah, love God ah, He is just beginning to start to lit my fire once again!
Thank you Lord!


The Final day.
4th day of camp was the holiest day when the pastor said that day he will bring prophesy to us and we must be prepared to it!
That day, i felt God so strongly, Pastor Gylnn said something that brings me another feeling of calling.
The call of God draws you into the right environment so that He could speak to you because the calling of God is a holy calling!!!!!
Amen to that.
That day when everyone was praying for calling, God showed me a vision.
He show me those people in church who have recognized me as a friend.
I was so touched by that vision, that day i was like... God, thank you.
Again BRX comes into place, he talked to me about that time when i want to go to another church.
He told me that God has something in place of me, and they are people in church who treasures you.
Man, after that vision, then i truly know, this camp, God prepared it for me already.
I should not be locking my heart and not letting pride consume me but unlock that lock and let God's presence fill me up.
Whao man, i felt God ultra strongly and i was like, PRAISE YOU LORD.
I was like, i don't care how much people doubt me or criticise me, because the Lord and the church is always for me.
Thanks COSBT, thanks God!
It really made me felt like home, all of you.
Can't really express myself properly like how it was that time at the LT.
If only i got my com there, i'll blog about how i felt like nuts!
After the final servce.
I was given time to write my encouragement cards! I wrote as many as i can to the people that God prompted me to.
There was one person that God reminded me to, and that was BRX.
I was really grateful to him in this camp, he taught me alot through that small conversation.
Thanks man BRX.
and Andy, i'll never forget you, i wanna tell you how much i wanna thank you man throughout that 4 day.
I never forget to write a card to you, i may not know how much thngs you have done and how exhausted you are, but nonetheless, you still help you, guide us and even taught us so much in ths camp.
There was one thing that you helped me in that camp.
And that was when you told us that Repentance means to change.
It might sound simple but you know what? Because of that line! I managed to contain that sin that i can never get rid of.
I dunno when i might fall again, but i'll always remember, to repent is to change.
Thanks man andy, you are one awesome brother, i still remember, how you reprimand me in the past whenever i did something wrong, how you change me through God and how you help me to get closer to God.
Thanks man, Andy.
Well, now that the camp's over, i've not received photos of everything in the camp, but i'll upload it once it's delivered! once again, God bless. :)

My my.. cause i had a great day, therefore i'll post great stuffs. :D
It all started by just one day, SATURDAY! And so many pictures were taken! Thanks to lisa and the others. LOL (PS, i won't post all, i'll get tired....)
First up, i had to go church earlier than before!
Well, i don't go church because i have to, but i go there because i WANT to!
Really, these past few years... God has made a significant change in my life.
He made me from a skinny guy to a big guy, He made me from a guy who doesn't like studying to a guy who likes studying more now, He made me from thinking negatively to thinking positively.
Man, i love you God! Alright, back.
While i was knowing that i'm late... i rushed down asap to catch the bus.
Luckily, i was on time, and guess who i saw... Doreen..............
As i was on the bus, i was thinking what will the service be about...
Don't worry, all shall be enlighten later on. :D
Once we got down from the bus... rush straight for cell group.. and yeah... they separated...
First up.. they ask me some really WEIRD questions like...
''JUNJIE, would you prefer a girl who is fat or a girl who has BO''
what the crap... if i could, NONE. But preferably BO girls.. LOL
Next question'' would prefer a girl with alot of armpit hair ot a girl with alot of leg hair and they must be wearing sleeveless clothes and shorts''
THIS IS THE WORSE LA! ANDY! WHEN HAVE YOU COME UP WITH THESE QUESTIONS!
Honestly.. please.. readers... don't laugh.. but i'll really choose leg hairs...
Alrightos, don't wanna continue.. it gives me the creeps.
after that... Andy shared with us certain things and also his love life too.
And we got separated once again and also to share about who we like and why we like them.
Well, sorry folks, secret :D
Right... after that we went up for service :D
It wasn't really a service... but rather a communion and also praying for the nation :D
Pastor Daniel showed us some juicy stuffs, like China governor thinking that '' if christianity is what makes Singapore prosper and united, then i will promote christianity'' From the newspaper. :D
See.. Christianity no longer lives as a religion, but as a role model for other countries, people sees it as one that brings unity and one that brings calmness in the heart.
Amen to that.
What's next was the prayers.. everyone started praying and something magnificent happen for me.
God really help me out this time round, i prayed a prayer, not by my will, i was kinda not knowing how to pray at that time, but throughout the session, God helped me out and i prayed.
And when i was praying together with warren, timothy and warren's brother, i felt that strong urge to say out a certain prayer.. and as i speak.. i felt that strong tension, that strong fire in me just coming out and praying, honestly, that felt good.
Thanks God.
i love my service now, i love my God, though it's just a prayer... but a prayer with faith can make an impact. So yeah.. Thanks God!
i had my awesome time yesterday, and i believe that through God's grace, all things that we prayed will be fulfilled. :D
The communion... i broke the biskit or crumbs or whatever you call that...
Now after the service, which was pretty early.. we had our usual dinner at the rooftop's hawker centre.
Ok, this is when the photos comes in, after eating that is.
I've never taken an actual photo with some of our members, and yah. Today was the best time to do that!
I'm also gonna do a lil intro about these people :D




Ah.. the girl wearing specs, she makes high frequency all the time. Her name's esther :D She is no longer a bimbo, i regard her as a lovable sister now. HAHAHHAS!
And rosanne, she always wanna find fault with me, but she is really nice. LOL
Eh, come to think of it... i've not taken photo with andy.. shucks..



I LOVE THIS PICTURE, cause the nice people are in here. :D
Like abi and lisa. Abi has always been realy nice, just that her english is really good. Which is something good. LOL
AND LISA! the best of the best! I always share my problems with her and andy.
They are like the best ears in this earth. Lisa really helps me out and cheer on me all the time! YOU ROCKS MAN LISA! :D



ME AND LISA AGAIN :D
i was force to squat down D: HAHAS , SORRY FOR SPOILING. HAHAHAHS!




this is abi-joy, her name tells it all that she is a joyful person. She is not that short, in fact she grew alot taller since the first time i saw her in church. Yea, she is the catalyst to produce laughter in our cell group!




I couldn't even remember me taking this photo. -.-



Last but not least.. DOREEN.


Well, i always talk about her, yeah! She rocks :D never really fails to make me feel suan-ed. But she got kidna unwell that day, TAKE CARE :D
Yeah.. she was really kinda unwell.. during service... she felt that sharp pain and i prayed for her.. but what was truly amusing was after God healed her.
She said '' no more pain le, but i feeling hungry now D:'' -.-

Before all this things happen, we were all staring at one small TV to catch the NDP celebration! :D
We made all sorts of stupid jokes... And some of them even sang the songs out..
I didn't join in of course... -.-
Well, after that the guys decided to go to the LAN shop and play CS.
Of course i didn't join them this time round, i went to play pool. :D

Wah.. seriously.. i think imma noob when it comes to playing pool.
I played with weihao for a 1 on 1 match, even though i scored alot at the beginning, but the last ball just doesn't seem to go my way.
During the match.. Doreen took my phone and played with it, she told me that she wrote some inspiration note in my phone and also some dumb story...


SEE, EVEN JOEL WANNA GET AWAY FROM HER! HAHAHAHAS

that inspiration note really isn't one, but i'll just call it a special note, for it is written in there things like, she rocks, she is the tallest genius. How inspirational is that -.- when all she said was praising herself. D:

Next i had 3 matches with joel, i won twice, my lost was really unexpected. LOL
Well, joel.. nice match...
of course i had photos taken throughout the match :D but not gonna post all



PRO in action *winks* yeah right. -.-

Later on, Hann came and join us.. but seriously, he was like so enthusiatic to playing pool. He did played with us of course, then we team up together and challenge random people, xavier, darius, warren and wei hao. OWN.
Teck han is really good at playing pool, i wonder if that is his true form or is it just that day on the right form.
OH WELL, I HAD FUN :D
Was really tired after that... but the bad news start coming in...
My phone got hang-ed, for the first time, sadded. But was ok after i reach home.
throughout the time when we were going home, we had lotsa talks and doreen was emo-ing.
Bet she was guilty then! HAHAS! I didn't blame her yet she emo -.-
Right after that... we just walk home... and that ends the day~
......................................................................

The next day.. i woke up early to catch the Olympics.
Whoa man! TAO LI IS GOOD! she managed to get into her finals for the swimming!
Awesome man! And also this Korean, he was the first to win the gold medal for swimming for KOREA! Awesome bunch of dream chasers.
Well, was unable to go for BIBLE study. But i made use of the time to STUDY.
I was studying at limbang mac, studying the most dreadful subject, Biology.
Had to try to finish my ten year series and finishing my notes for BIO asap.
After that, i tutor doreen for her english O level oral which is coming up on tuesday.
I hope whatever she learnt will be beneficial, will continue more tomorrow.
Well, went back home after 4 hours of studying.. i was exhuasted.. just watch some olympic events and i'm off to bed...
Oh yeah... Thank God for those 2 days, it was really awesome!
God Bless ALL :D
