Elevate - Life's Revival
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Church camp was awesome right down to the last day. The camp had 500 people all from Megalife - Sec sch to JC, and Highlife - Poly to Uni.
At first it was tough bonding with all the younger kids and my group only had 3 that were around my age or older but in the end I got to bond with everyone of them =)
The older ones are well... think more and the younger ones are just fun and sweet, oh and cute. very. And they were like 14 years old? O_o oh and yea cute cause one of them is like super gullible and thought igloos were made naturally.
Bus ride was fun in some sorts. Played Taiti(?), Bridge, Murderer, Indian Poker and had a really good time bonding through it. And all those cheers aha.
Superman is a man of steel;
Human Torch will burn for you;
Teen Titans are young and bright;
Green Lantern will shine his light;
Captain Planet will save the earth;
Ironman will show his worth;
We are Heroes of the Sky;
Now its time for us to fly;
To infinity and beyond!
The tune goes by those army cheers not sure how to say and HEH, we had to do that cheer with one arm stretched high up like flying WHILE balancing on one leg, the other lifted up to make a "h" LOL
Camp only had one day of fun, three of which were left to workshops and sermons, some of which I was touched, some of which were insightful, meaningful and of course, some that I just fell asleep in. Let's see, I forgot quite a bit of it but mainly about championing for God, rethinking values, conquering fears, exploring leadership, gender specific, having faith, haha ah owells, many many more good and interesting and applicable and powerful stuffs =)
Yup, and the one and only games day. Had a simple game requiring us to tie a balloon on our legs and then running across an indoor stadium to our safe areas and well just seeing who can collect the most balloons and let me tell you, there is like a few hundreds of teens running about its insane I tell you. And then we will split up into different categories. Floorball with brooms, and watching some of them play with a feather duster cos thier brooms got confiscated for playing rouhgly. Soccer while having to be on all fours, stomachs up like a inverted crab. Tough.
AND for my game was captain's ball with omg, way crazier stuff than ever before. We had whole bunch of bananas, 2 balls of cabbage, 2 papayas, one which I totally witness a scene of someone just throwing a papaya reaaaally high and for it to land with no one catching and it just went, well SPLAT literally... Oh and the best? a RAW CHICKEN. you could watch the limbs and body spread out while rotating in the air in slow mo and then PIAK onto the floor. Playing it was quite hard having the floor quite lubricated with papaya mush and banana slush and plenty of leaves of cabbages to ride on the oily chickenated-floors. Good stuff indeed. And and before I forget,
Point system:
Any kind of fruits including
papayas that totally mimick bombs,
boomerang shaped bananas,
heavy shedding ball of cabbage,
Chicken wings or thighs,
chicken parts,
Whole chicken,
1 POINT
Chicken head
10 POINTS
Worship was a wonderful experience and time, with our hearts yearning for God. Haaa, quite a few songs I never hear before but yup still was gooood. Lifted my hand higher than ever, though I never once did jump like the Megalifers but yeaaaps, wanted to, but just wasn't my thing. Oh and some awesome lines
Heal my heart and make it clean;
open up my eyes to the things unseen;
show me how to love like You have love me;
break my heart for what breaks Yours;
everything I am for Your kingdom's cause;
as I walk from earth into eternity.
And yups, felt a calling to lead a new life, one for God, with the heart for others. NEEEEW LIFE, and to really just drop the past and everything that has held me back. Get into a ongoing relationship with God. Yups, time for revival in me =) And boy oh boy, I think i might go into leadership training. I think its time I picked up what's necessary for me and press on. On a sidenote I do quite miss my Megalifer mates =l they were a fun bunch but heh, dun think I'll ever see them again, or at least once in a year? Haha owells but such is life isn't it. time to move on!
ON TO 2010!!

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
