first there was my first stab at bs leading... which for me was quite daunting, for i've never done it before.. but i decided that i should at least give it a try.. and my mom also said that i've been thru bsf, which did come in handy in preparing and also keeping the session on track.. a big thanks to my grp.. aquila, who made my job much easier by not sidetracking into a totally irrelavent topic (or doing anything that would make my experience a bad one)
then there were the lectures by rory.. the book of 2 timothy really showed that the world timothy was living in wasnt much different from the world as we know of it.. and the verse which stood out to me most thru the bs preparation, and the lectures, was 1v7, where it says "we are not given a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline". this was especially challenging, due to the fact that for the past sem, i was in a class full of aussies, who aren't very receptive to christian beliefs and morals, and i don't i actually told anyone directly that i was a christian, probably i did casually mention that i go to church and all, but what worries me is that i have never directly told them what i believe in, as if i was ashamed.. and 2 timothy mentioned that we will definitely go through some persecutions, and i see this as something to overcome in the coming semester..
another thing i enjoyed about the camp was the yummy yummy food.. as i'm sure everyone who went would agree.. i think we were so well fed.. big thanks to the cooks!!
and also the whole camp experience wouldnt have been complete without the showtime on the last night, we all had a great laugh.. i think my group memebers did an excellent job, esp the 2 davids, who were ever so sporting.. all in all every one did a great job putting on a good show, ive never laughed so hard so much for a long time..i went to winter camp, really not knowing what to expect.. but im glad i had a good time (sure beats bumming at home for 5 days..) thanx to all the people who took the time to talk to me and get to know me... i realy do appreciate it...
the pics are in my photo album.. go see.. hopefully ive done uploading them..
before leaving for camp.. i had the michael buble song "home" playing in my head.. maybe due to the fact that part of me did want to go home for the hols.. everyone asking me if i'd be back.. friends flying off to uk come sept, and the fact that i may not see them for another 3 or 4 yrs due to diff hols.. and just everything that is back home..
here's what i miss, in no particular order
: mummy and daddy, and the dinners around the table
: becky, and the constant squbbles.. im sure the hse is more quiet now..
: all my friends.. and baking sessions.. and going pressie shopping in mv..
: cheaper movies (compared to AUD$11.50).. and ICT and actor's studios plays
: not having to plan what to eat for the next meal
: smsing nonsense to pui li, xin and anna (can't do that too much cos it costs too much.. well i still do that to use up my free texts with anna and xin.. but anyways..)
: the ocassional dinner/lunch/movie treat from my cousin (the only one whos in the working world *ahem* )
: family gatherings and dinners..
: yumy yummy food.. (give me nasi lemak, roti canai, laksa, asam laksa, hokkien mee over pasta, sandwiches and ready made sauces any day!)
thats just from the top of the head.. but i do know what i dont miss... the heat.. and sharing my room (yes, i love having my own space..).. and.. erm.. the..erm.. i think thats it..
so yes.. im counting down the days till i get back... but in the mean time, i'm gonna enjoy myself.. and thank God for each day, for His provision.. and the chance to be away from home for a while.. absence makes the heart fonder.. after all..
