DAY 1

Looking forward to this day. The camp was one of the reasons. But filling the stomach is the main priority now. And a word appears to the famish mind: DIM SUM.

It appear to be nearby Swee Seng’s house. An hour’s drive…. It seems to be near for Raub people, eh? But after chowing down a hearty meal of Dim Sum, it wasn’t that of a big deal. We got to see the new CAC Methodist Church, which is under construction and Swee Seng all hyped about it, we were on our way to Benum Hill Resort.

11.00 pm. We were there on time. But things weren’t as planned as what the admin promised us the day before. We panicked, or rather I panicked! With flocks of campers arriving there at around 12 plus, our teacher advisors, Ms Angelina and Mr. Jeffery with the others went negotiating with the others. I was left to tend the campers.

After packet lunch, countless lame jokes, introductions and Guardian Angel initiation by the lake, they have made an ultimatum: to move to CAC Methodist campsite, which is a few kilometers away from this camp site. All amp-ed up and prepared, we shifted camp sites, leaving some campers wondering where we are going.

We are at the camp site, the new camp site! And everyone registered and put their stuff away. As I looked at my watch, we were a little behind schedule. Minor setback. And it was then it was the group building session. We are all grouped into four groups. My group consists of Kevin, Jerome, Swee Seng, Leanne, Joelle and I. We were supposed to:

1. Get a group name.
2. Prepare a group cheer.
3. Make a sketch out of the based on the bible verse given to us. (And in our case, it was 1 Timothy 2:14)

After many moments of mind usage time, we prepared ourselves for the next session, dinner, the sermon and supper. Played with the dog, shower than ate dinner. Dinner was ok.
When the time of praise and worship, lead by Swee Seng was over, it was time to introduce the speaker, Pastor Stephen Cheah. He preached about the outline of leadership, and what it is all about. He defined what leadership is all about and what spiritual leadership is. As stated, spiritual leadership is moving people on to God’s agenda. And he urged us to view Jesus as a role model for servant leadership. One way or another, we are all called to be leaders. Leaders in our family, among friends, at the workplace, a leader in life.

At supper, we had red bean soup and cookies, and we were told to serve one another, by feeding the person on the left! Funny though, be we did enjoy ourselves. And I started the experiment, with the banana! Hahaha!~
