Last week i had a church camp from
Monday all the way to Friday.
Though i hated the first morning..
It was great =)

the first morning was hated because
i had to wake up at 5plus.
My dad was in charge of some bus admin
so gotta be there super early.
reached church at around 6.
there, we waited for the coaches and the rest of the ppl
to come.
i took the time to sleep.
we got on the bus first cuz the people in our
group arrived first.
i went up, put my headphones and slept through.
all the way until the immigration chkpt where we gotta go in
witht eh passports and all.
then in malaysia we had the same thing.
after that, i slept again..
until we reached the restaurant for lunch =)
haha the food was great!
got to meet a few new friends.
After lunch i was all pumped up
and couldn't sleep.
haha just then a few ppl in the bus were playing big two
haha i just played along with em until we reached malaysia.

reached awana hotel at around 315pm
and checked in.
the rooms are nice, i was at the 17th floor
it was cold man.
haha spent 3 hrs unpacking and watching tv before
heading down for dinner =)
dinner was buffet style =)
in fact
breakfast lunch and dinner were all in buffet style haha
nv hungry there man.

After dinner we had a message on
''Potrait of Love I'' by our camp speaker Prof William Harding
he was an american =)
love his accent.
the next day was part 2 and 3 of e portrait of love
one wed was ''That Little Piece of Flesh That Dwells Between Our Jaws (Tongue) part I and II''
Thursday was ''How to Have Unity In the Church'' and How a Christian Brother Who Sins Against Us is To Be Treated''
during the msges i learnt that
Christian Love
-never seeks revenge against the offender but endures the offend
-is naturally disposed to do acts of kindness
-ain't jealous
-is modost, recognising all credits belongs ultimately to God
-humble, recognizing that all it has is by e grace of God
-is good mannered
-ain't selfish but seeks the good of others
-ain't angered by hurtful things done towards it
-doesn't hold evil against the offender but forgives and treats him/her like the offend didn't happened
-sympathizes with righteousness
-patiently bears all troubles and annoyances that comes to it
-believes the best of others and is truly disappointed if evidences show otherwise
-expects the best with regards to all things that others do
-bravely and calmly bears all sufferings and persecutions that come to it.

i learnt about the tongue too
how it is a weapon of destruction too
i learnt that Christians how are not blessed with the gift of teaching should'nt teach.
this is cuz teachers are more severely judged than normal christians.
the tongue is the hardest thing to control in the body.
if one can control what it says. he/she is a Christian adult
an uncontrolled tongue breeds destruction
if one doesn't control his'her tongue
they can hurt many many people.
the tongue is an embodiment of all evil.
the tongue can easily disobey all the 10 commandments.
misuse of the tongue can cause destruction the many things
e.g marriage/church/social life/business/school etc

To have unity in e church
we basically needa control our tongue,
build relationships, be content with our own spiritual gifts,
recognise that our gift are of God,
recognise that we are dependent on each other
and care for each other.
And as how should a brethren be treated if he sins against us
we gotta go privately to him/her and tell him/her about it.
persuade that person to repent and get right with God.
if that fails, we get a few others to come with us and do the same thing.
if he or she still doesn't repent, the elders of the church will have to step in
and if that person still doesn't wanna repent, he or she would be excommunicated from the church.
all we have left is the pray for the brethren. If it's God's will they will repent and get right with God
and will be reinstated back to the church.

during my free times i played sports with my fellow Christian friends.
I learnt how to play tennis and a bit of frisbee =)
it was cool haha.

Alright so after the camp,
reached back to Singapore.
a few days later I had a rematch with Tianjun's team.
the game was so intense.
I scored 2 for my team, Mingyao scored 1 and Darren Scored 1
Tianjun's team scored 2.
we won 4-2
after that i treated myself to a good meal before leaving for home
and to church =)
then back to home where we had 3 games of dota and
a few games of failed green circle td
LOLs

kk cya =)

Aftermath Have you lost your way? Livin' in the shadow of the message that you made And so it goes Everything inside your circle starts to overflow Take a step before you leap Into the colours that you seek You give back what you give away So don't look back on yesterday Wanna scream out No more hiding Don't be afraid of what's inside Gonna tell ya you'll be alright In the Aftermath Anytime anybody pulls you down Anytime anybody says you're not allowed Just remember you are not alone In the Aftermath...
