Make a guess where I had gone for a fruitful holiday? Well, can't guess much except you know I'm staying at a super nice chalet above the waters. Heheh, the shower is even in the "open roof" Meaning you could experience showering under the rain should you have the opportunity!

I'll be separating the different days happening into different post, otherwise it would be too long to read. There won't be much photos as I didn't bring my camera along, so will need to wait for my friends to pass the pictures to me. Anyway, I went over to Port Dickson, at Avillion Resort from 2nd June 2007 till 5th June 2007. It's my first Church Camp! WOW~ God's really awesome. Look at how short the period of time I've been born again and I've already gone through so much!

Side-track abit: I received Christ on Good Friday, 6th April 2007. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, the ability to speak in tongue 2 Sundays later. On 20th May I was Water-baptized. 2 weeks later it's church camp! Wow... I'm less than 2 months old in the Lord!


Day 1

It was arranged to meet at church at 715am. And since its at Aljunied area, it meant I had to be real early. I didn't want to catch a cab, so decided to wake up at 445am to get ready.

I reach rather on time, bumped into my 2 friends and we walked from the MRT to church together. After everyone has reached, we waited for the bus to arrive and everyone went on to board the bus. There were 2 coaches and I must say the bus is really comfortable and the aircon is at the right temperature. Most of us were sleeping in the coach while others are chatting away.

Soon we reach the Singapore Customs, and clearance went smooth and fast! At the other side, it wasn't fast, was quite a bit chaotic as the queue was not well defined and the weather was hot! Lucky I came well-prepared. I had brought a long a portable battery operated fan! Hehehe. And started providing the service of the fan to those around me, especially my leader cuz both of us can't really stand the heat. It seems like ages till its our turn at the counter. Oh, by the time we board the bus, I realise me and my mates were the last to board. Haha..

After our stop-over for lunch and toilet break, we are now more full of energy! A number of us "demanded" entertainment and soon a guitarist started strumming and we started singing some praise and worship songs. That's when I know one of the fellow sisters is so good in rapping! WoW! We sang a couple of songs, and then I just dozed off. Hehehe... Those not really in deep sleep, I could still hear them singing, and they had re-sang the lyrics to "Stand By Me", the chorus portion now goes as:
"Jesus, Jesus Stand, By Me Oh~ Stand By Me. Stand By Me, Stand By Me..."

Finally we reached the Resort! YaY~ However, the chalets were not ready yet, so we all gathered at the ballroom and mingled with all the other brothers and sisters. Heheh... So while we were waiting eagerly for the rooms, one of the organizers gave instructions bout the program lined up, and that we are separated into different tribes and suppose to come up with a cheer and performance for Wacky Night, on the last night at the camp. The theme for the Wacky Night for my tribe, was Liang Shan Bo & Zhu Ying Tai in Itallian Opera Style! And the show must be wholesome, have a happy ending! Wha... Challenging~

Soon the rooms were ready, and the leader was calling our the people who are allocated to the different rooms to come up to collect their keys. When the first group of people were called, we were cheering as if they have won the lucky draw! It was sooo funny. LoL..

Finally I got my room, and we checked went it, get refreshed, changed of clothes and rested awhile and soon it was time to go out for dinner. We went out of the chalet, and there was a small eatery across the street. Food there was so so, and after eating we went down to their night market since it was a weekly event happening only on Saturdays. It was quite quite far distance from where we were, so we slowly walked along the road. It was quite a scary experience to be walking along side the road with the cars and bikes speeding beside you.

Hmm... The night market is not really like the pasar malam in Singapore, though somewhat similar. They sell clothes, shoes, bags as well as food and fruits, but one thing they also sell fresh fish, meat, poultry! Yes! Those items that usually we'll find them sold in fridge.

My room mate bought back some snacks and we made our way back. On the way back we went over to the beach.... As the sun was setting, it was really a beautiful sight.....


I took these photos with my N73! Cool eh...

We quickly made our way back to the resort as it was still quite a distance away from where these photos were taken, in case it turned too dark and scary for us to walk as mention before, there's no proper footpath for pedestrians!!

After we got back to our rooms, we changed, and shower and got ready for our first service held at the ballroom. The theme for this year's camp was "Expectancy Brings Reality".

A few points I need to learn:
- Be Strong & Courageous so that can handle Life's challenges/disappointments/failures/sufferings as this world is not perfect
- Be Steadfast & Consistent in the walk with God to Believe and not be swayed.
- Follow His Word & His Law and be successful in all you do.
- Be patient He delivers what He promised and its only a matter of time when it'll be fulfilled.
- Fear will Ripped you! Fear: 90% not Real & 10% Maybe
