D' Encounter Camp 2008

Basically, I went for the camp from 17 to 20 dec. This year I was actually given more responsibilities and duties.

Preparing for the camp was fun. I retain my post as the "toilet king" and lead the church cleaning job. Thanks to the commitees to clean the church together.

Then, the most shocking thing happened was when I'm appointed as the head usher. I was never given a job where even a small portion of leadership is needed. It was such an honor. My deepest gratitude to all the ushers helping. God bless them. They were all so obedient, so responsible and so friendly!

Things learned from camp:
1) Be a complainer or a worshipper.
2) The three types of love existed
i) Eros: The love on physical and shape
ii)Phileo: The mutual, relationship love
iii) Agape: The unconditional, sacrificial love
3) Seek first the kingdom of God and all other things we will acquire.
4) Understand the authorities we have in God, to possess lands and to stand up for Jesus.

Sadly, I have no pictures for the camp. I didn't really have a camera phone and met up with many people. But still I got the chance to know my roomates where Oliver shared about his experiences few months ago. From there I learned that God is in control over our lives, from painful moments to joyful moments.

Somehow, I got myself some phobia towards the smell of the rubbish bags.

To Work Or Not To Work

I'm still struggling whether to work or not. If I'm going to work, it'll probably be after the camp. I don't really have a working experience, and the work I'll find would also be a hard-labor job. Since most of them are works with long hours, I don't really know if I could work.

I realise many young people always grumble, never satisfy about everything they have in their lives. They have all of the coolest gadgets of all kinds, yet never satisfy. As for some, they get emo almost all day, especially when they are so free over a few-months-long holidays. I really suggest that they watch a discovery channel on the wildlife. Preys are struggling to survive from the danger of being capture and eaten by predators, while predators snatch foods among themselves. There's not even some time for them to think how to escape.

For now, I'll get myself ready for the youth camp. Come and enjoy's God presence. God's grace and love is for everyone. Click here for the video promo.

School On Fiery Flame

You've seen it on the news today. Kuching High was on fire yesterday.

Yesterday a few calls were made and I was being told that my secondary school was on fire. It happened around 12.50pm to 2.00pm. This was something unusual. I could saw the black smokes by just going out of my house to see the sky, that is, if you live somewhere not too far from there.

A fire started burning the Junior Science Lab, yet the cause is still unknown. There wasn't any Spm papers on yesterday, no activities, almost no one. It's lunchtime some more. Luckily the cleaner and security guard saw the fire.

The lab was made up of woods, built many years ago before my father studied there. The fire brigade was late to arrive, causing the fire to spread across the school admin building. What's more, the water pressure was low, causing the rescue work to be slow and the fire burnt up the whole building of the office, which comprises of the library, the teacher's lounge and the offices.

I wonder if the textbooks kept in the lab will be replaced by the education department. Who would have known that the lab, which had been announced as a dangerous building due to the presence of termites, would be burnt up.

One thing never changed in Kuching. Spectators were there, outside the school, watching the whole scene. So, was sending up to 4 fire brigade vehicles and 41 members of the fire brigade team to rescue the fire on time?. On a emergency situation, a water pressure problem was there. Up to 17 times of calls had to be made.

That's about it. Wishing Spm candidates the best in their final papers.
