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.

Sometimes I think if it's a bad idea taking some time reading a whole list of blogs. I thought blogging is some sort of way to compile your ideas into one spot. Definitely, even blogging has its limit. You'll get criticised till you feel so sorry for posting a blog at the first place. There is just no such thing as freedom in speech.

Today I can feel aches over me again. This is basically what you get if you go for an intensive exercise after not having any physical exercises for months. I encountered this experience often, yet I don't care about the pain; I just want to give my body some intensive stretching.

I soon realised that not having exercises for months not only drains away your health, my stamina's like totally gone. The worst case is that I'm already having lower stamina level than people. I got myself gasping for air after playing for only some time. I guess I really need to strengthen up myself physically these few months. I hate having dark eye bags everyday.

Going for badminton yesterday was fun. I'll never know where all of my classmates will be separated next year. Most of them are going for ns.

SPM Fades

All Spm candidates who had taken science-stream subjects only will know that their exam is over.It feels just so nice.

Yesterday's last paper was EST. But we had to take the paper only at 11. Sometimes I think if the education ministry should limit science-stream students to take only science-stream subjects and so on. I mean, I don't think it's very beneficial after all. If this keeps on, the next year I'll be hearing someone getting 23As or more or something.

I just earn my rank from a "highian" to a "ex-highan". Definitely I feel a little sad. So after taking our leaving school certificate and testimonies, it's bye bye to all.

What's nice in Kuching High is that a few minutes walk ends you up in Star Cineplex. I went watching movies with classmates right after that. Quantum of Solace 007 is nice.

Superheroes or supervillains have no difference. Actions are there. Sense of humor is there. Just sometimes I really like the way villains talk. They have style too. Somehow very cool. One thing too, just why heroes never seemed to smile?

And now, there is so much things I can do now until somewhere March next year.

The Last Day Will Not Last

Today is the last day in school. The days in the class wasn't so special anyway. But still, I miss school days.

The girls were busy taking pictures with classmates with their digital cameras. The guys were busy playing chinese chess, all against one. So cool. That winning experience was good. That particular classmate is pissed off.

I just don't know why. I'm not really close with most of my classmates, yet I will miss them in future. I never felt anything even when I leave primarys or form 3.

I don't know where will I be after form 5. In another 5 days, I'll be facing the mighty, fearful Spm. I'll be telling a lie if I say Spm doesn't make me stress. Another 3 more weeks before I am free.


It's the final showdown for spm. Good luck to all candidates.
