First of all,

CONGRATS BUSSIES!!!!!! *jumps around screaming* =) =) =) =) =)

I can't believe camp is over. Months and months of planning, and it all ends in the blink of an eye. So potong! I think it was one of the most tiring camps to date for me personally, with the running around getting things done and not being able to sit in during morning sermons, and up until the last night I felt rather disappointed because I felt that this camp I was only to give and not receive (how selfish of me!), but then God showed up on the last night. He touched me, in His own special way. Not as how I expected it to be, not with a big bang or a sudden enlightenment or amidst a great wave of tears, but just silently, gently, as Kim, Sherrene and I were praying for each other. Man, it feels SO GOOD when God speaks in His own gentle way, when He assures, when He gives leading and guidance, when He reminds you that you are called to serve such an awesome God. It really is overwhelming when I think of how great He is. In those precious moments by the window after everything ended for the night, as Kim prayed for me and as the cool wind blew in through the open window, I just felt peace and... assurance. Yeah, that's the word. Assurance. Ever since Sam gave me that word a few weeks ago, I have stored it up in a special corner of my heart and it never fails to bring peace when I think about it. That word is so special to me...

I think my only regret is that I didn't have the time to really make a lot a lot of new friends, which is something I wanted to do before camp. I definitely made new friends, (awesome ones by the way!), and I got to know previous-acquaintances-now-friends better, some I never knew could be so funny and nice to talk to, but really lor, I didn't have the time to go around and talk to people. Nevertheless, camp rocked!! =)

I'm not really gonna show pictures cos most of them are of me and you'd probably bore yourself to death looking at my same smiley face over and over again, so no pictures.

Oh, except of him


Cos he was arguably the funniest GA ever. He gave me a commemorative keychain from First Baptist Church or something, wrapped nicely in blue paper you'd expect to find some sort of treasure inside, and when I smacked him after camp, his pathetic excuse was:"Eh it's a good keychain wat! It says 'The Lord is my Shepherd' at the back!!" -.-"' Ahhhh, that's not all. The next day he gave me THIS...

Like I don't have a washing machine at home,

And the next day he gave me... WHISKAS CAT FOOD, which i gave to Sean for his new cat,

And on the final day he gave me earrings in a shoe polish box from Thailand.

So to atone for his sins, I made him buy me Dunkin Doughnuts at the rest stop. Wasn't JCO, but oh well, it'll do. He's forgiven!!! =) =) =) =)


And of them


Because it was really, truly a blessing and a joy to work with them. Everytime I talk to Bernice and Justin, I am reminded of what it really means to love and serve the Lord with all your heart, and to love and serve others as you would love and serve yourself. I had the opportunity to talk to them at length yesterday at BOB (yeah, of all places), and I'm just so thankful that our paths crossed. They're both such amazing, talented people with a humility which is so rarely found in others, and they've input into my life in more ways than they could possibly imagine. Come to think of it, working with Justin during camp was a lesson in itself and a gentle reminder from God himself, about what it really means to be humble and to have a servant's heart.

Poh Leong is a caring fwen who sends random sms-es to cheer you up, and who has not uttered a single word of complaint even though he was working his butt off behind the scenes the whole of camp. You did an AWESOME job fwen! =)

And of her


Because we're sweater sistahs!! =)

And of them

Because she is such a sweeeeeet lady who's so easy to talk to and who also has a humble, loving, serving heart, and he's so nice and fun to talk to, besides looking so adorable in the picture and being the recipient of my generous gift of Whiskas cat food.

And of him

Because he's a good fwen and a real encouragement, and the first to give me a Cwistmas pwezzie! =)

And of him

Because I like my muka poyo, because I like the ukelele, and because he is THE musician,singer,songwriter,beatboxer,and member of Bus Company, winner of Battle of the Bands 2007!!!!! Woohoooooo!!

Camp was great, and i believe it'd be even greater next year! I need to say this: Committee members, you guys did a GREAT job, each and everyone of you. I am SO PROUD to be a part of the team, and I believe God sees your heart and He will bless you richly for all that you have given. Truly, it was a blessing to have worked with all of you! *Big group hug*

By the way, I've been meaning to do this. heheh. TECK JIN yoyoyo, if you're reading this, which I know you are, so don't pretend like you didn't get this message,

"Be a MAN. Do the RIGHT THING."
