LifeTeen Youth Camp 2006 was great! Come, Taste and See! Experience Jesus... I sure did! (Part 2)

Day 2 - 28th May 2006

Sunday started with many mosquito bites and being groggy... Woke up at 5.30 am, and went to brush me teeth and wash up before 6.30.. Went to the hall before 7 to get prepared for morning excercises, then it was breakfast... Then, as usual, it was Praise and Worship time, and as usual, we sang our praises and so on....

Then, it was Session 3, "Why Jesus?" but this time the accompanying skit was delayed till the next Session... Anyway, the session was ok, and then it was tea break... Delightful delicacies and drinks, before the next session 4, "How To Be Like Jesus" with the skit from the previous session, "Jesus Stay". This was also an emotional one, and very good. (Maybe later i'll upload all videos and pics in a seperate website) Then it was lunch break. (The small group activity, "I can be Jesus to others" was cancelled due to less time)

After that, it was Praise and Worship time again! hehe.. Then, it came to serious buisness... A short briefing, followed by a confession and adoration... It lasted throughout till around 4.30, and the thing was it was raining heavily during this time, with strong lightning and thunder accompanying the rain... It was so strong, like it was an omen or something... (Funnily enough, the previous day, it was also raining, but at night, so the session at night lasted longer, with us being told around to wait around and mingle...) During the thunderstorm, me new friend got scared, so i told me friend to be calm... Me pal had a rosary around, and funnily enough it snapped and fell... (sorry ah 4 mentioning this! hehe...) Then, i had a new friend! hehe... See, i managed to make lots o new frens in camp...

Then when the rain subsided a bit, it was time to wash up and tea break... I quickly took a bath, and went to drink (but didnt eat, no appetite) before Praise and Worship time, yet again! hehe... 3 times a day... Then, it came to the 5th Session, "Touch Jesus", with the skit from session 4, "Dr. Jesus".. It was funny also, and then it was Prayer Ministry Time - Healing.... What happened then will not be published here (obviously)... Then it was announcement time, then supper before lights out...

I moved to me mate's room on this night after i couldn't stand the mosquito bites and me mate's rom was better, with all me pals there! hehe.. Slept at 1 am after i couldn't sleep... Listening to Gordon and Leslie playin guitars... And that was it...

(Day 3 coming soon...)

LifeTeen Youth Camp 2006 was great! Come, Taste and See! Experience Jesus... I sure did! (Part 1)

Well, i guess the title says it all... I know lots of my friends who went for camp will also have the same feeling, but this was special, for lots of reasons. This was my first ever camp, and it was great, i got to settle into camp life fairly quickly, and had no complaints... Too bad the camp was short... Oh wel, we'll all meet again every week! hehe.... No complaints here, then!

Anyway, i had lots of good memories of this camp, and i met a few new frens as well as old ones back... Man, it was good... And here's how it all happened....

(BTW, I won't be typing too much details here, as im sue most of me pals have already gone for this camp, and will have experienced the same thing.. I will be typing my view on the camp, how it's like and so on.. Sessions and Prayer Ministry will not be written about here... Maybe next time.. Oh, and this will be divided to 3 posts, one for each day-Ed.)

DAY 1 - 27th May 2006

It started off on Saturday, when i checked in... The moment i went inside the school i tought "woah, this place was big! It's gonna be great!". Fine, then i went to register and was told where me room was. Problem is, the girls get to stay in the new fine secondary schools, while us guys were allcated the mini-camous, a few blocks of wooden rickety sheds with fine carpets (actually it was a good, normal classroom that we slept in).... Fine, fair enough... The good thing was the toilets were just at the back of me place, the bad thing was the pump and flush went bust. Got to settle in fairly quickly, and arranged me stuff before heading out for the 1st agenda on the setlist, the intro..

1st thing, the intro and ice-breakers. Well, it started off fine, and me mate's band' LifeTeen Soldiers, performed 1 song (only one?) and the rest was fine.. The ice breaker was damn funny... We were divided into groups according to color, and then we played "(fill the name) Says: and it was hillarious! We mixed with other groups of different colours, and it was a ruckus! Eventually we finished, settled down and then Lunch break.. Mmm, the lunch was great (hehe) and delicious, but that's another thing...

Then it was the 1st of 6 sessions throught the 3 days, "Who Is Jesus?" with a mini-skit, "The Champion". It was funny, with Dom and Deon acting it out... Was like watching Sonny Liston fight Cassius Clay... Then the speaker for the camp, Mr. Jude Antoine (or just plain ol' Jude) gave his first of his repetoire of talks, and stunning as it was brilliant. He talked about who is jesus, and so on... Then we had a general discussion on what is me expectations of this camp, and who is Jesus to me... Me group was with Johnny and the others... It was fine.. hehe...

Then break time, and wash up... I quckly had a bath with cold water, then went off for tea and biscuits, English style... Then we had the opening mass, and then we had an opening mass, saw over by the Preist who came in, Mr. Wong. The mass procession went on smoothly, and me mates were doing the choir, while I carried the procession banners. It was normal.. Then dinner time. Dinner was great too, and the canteen had a mashed potato making machine, and it was delicious! Too bad the machine is only avaialbe in 3 schools in KK, and not in mine..

Then, after eating, drinking and chatting, it was Praise and Worship time! And it was great, like any othe P&S sessions in LifeTeen or during this camp! hehe... I forgot in what order did we sing the songs... Then it was Session 2, "Where Is Jesus" and with an accompaniying skit, "Torn Hearts". It was very sad, and emotional, and i cried to be honest, coz it was that touching... Another great talk (no one was bored or tired, that's how good it is..) and then Prayer Ministry Time. Then, finally it was super, and lights out.

When it came to bed time, it was miserable for me... The damn mosuitoes kept on biting me hand and face, up till i had to cover meself in whole, and still they kept biting! Damn! Finally managed to sleep, and that's it.

(Experiences in Day 2 coming soon...)

One Last Night....

As the title suggests, this will be my last post for sometime, as i will have my exams next week (wish me luck!) and after that i will have camp, so maybe i'll be out fro a month...

Now, just now i attended my last LifeNite for this month till camo, and it was a blast! LifeTeen ahd the Jaycee Awards (yeah, that stands for Jesus Christ Awards) and we get to pick the best verse, and so on... And the mini play was hillarious, like the Academy Awards.. (konon!)

The whole night was great, and im glad i decided to come for one last time, before my exams....

Now the whole week was ok, and the exams has been postponed to 15th May (yay!), so more time to study! hehe.... Oh ya, to all my friends in other skuls, good luck for your exams alright! hehe.. Hope we all get good or great grades!

Anh, back to school life... Im bored of skul! Im bored of life! I dunno why, but sometimes i get kinda depressed and lonely, like no one cares about me in school... Im only happy when i go to church and for LifeNight... Hmm, even at home im kinda lonely, being the only kid i suppose.... Well, that's life...

Ah, in class, the Chemistry and Biology teachers have been replaced part time by trainee teachers from UMS.... Its a good thing, but a week before exams? Maybe that's a liability... Because different teachers have different methods of teaching, but im not against it, its just a matter of timing... But overall its ok....

What else ah during this past week? Hmm... Oh eyah, on Friday we had our first ever Christian Fellowship in school, and we were brought (or rather walk!) to Sacred Heart Parish Centre, and we joined the St.Francis Convent CF for our first time ever! And there were lots of familliar faces form LifeTeen, so it was cool, and i liked it, after all CF is our rights! hehe... The next CF is on 23rd of June, so see everyone then!

Ok, i guess that's it for my lst hurrah! Till im back soon, bye!
