Camp Rocked Me Off The Raft!

Was in Ipoh for Leadership Training Camp.

Let me 1stly say my quote for this camp: You can never stop learning wherever you are.

As Bishop TD Jake's Mum also said: The whole world is a university and you're the students. When you wake up in the morning, don't forget to go to school.

I learnt a fair bit going for this camp even though its meant for students. Everyone knows that you can teach students but students will teach you.
Every camp I go, I learn to facilitate and I learn how to communicate. This camp was another of those lessons that I came out feeling I could have done better. But smetimes we just have to learn that way.

The best bit out of the camp for me...was falling out of the raft. The entire raft banged into the Albeit it wasnt a fun thing to do but the experience is nonetheless the most memorable. I felt scared at that point of time because the rapid was in front of me. Hahaha I body surfed abit and hit some rocks etc and then I came to a boulder in front of me that I was worried would be danger to me. Instead, the water brought me up to the boulder sot hat I could sit there comfortably. :) I was stupid enough to grab the raft and be dragged along some more (hitting more rocks) But aside from that stupidity, the more I think about it, the more I know God was trying to make sure I was okay by bringing me to the boulder.
Can describe to you on how I got onto the rock coz it just seemed like the water sweeped me up and plonked me on the rock. It was smooth ride! I just went with the flow and waved "hi" to the raft once I found myself sitting put. Hahaha

I was also the sacrificial lamb for the rest since I was stubborn enough to not put on insect repellent. I've got mosquito bites and sandfly bites.

Also got an A&W bear as a souvenier and took my Big Toe around the residence to take silly photos.

The camp was indeed very fun. :)

There are many times that i wished i had thought of God more often while doing all that. Or appreciated my surroundings more. The beauty of the waterfall, the feeling in the water, the ups and downs of hte raft, the security we got from our guides, everything! Its easy to abseil down a waterfall just worrying abt whether you can make it down safely..but I wished I had taken time to go down and feel the water run down like a shower. :) or even taken a camera up to shoot from there!

I'd say that Im glad i conquered the waterfall and white water again. :)

Im glad God kept my students and I safe from harm. :) Yes we had mosquito bites and scratches etc but No serious injury to any.

Also had fun in Gua Tempurong. It was pitch dark as we climbed through all the crevices etc but it was fun while it lasted. Some holes are so small that you get claustrophobic haha


Sunday's service was good. The songs for worship were my favourite and it was uplifting for me. I dont know why but its been such a long time since I teared while singing but I did. I kept my mind off my worries and visualized myself in His presence, singing to Him. Trust me..the tears were of thanksgiving.

Went to Tecman after church and stayed there for 2 hours. got a book for a sista of mine who I feel needs the encouragement now. I know how she may be feeling because of personal experience and I know without God's help, she will have a harder time getting over her issues. Like me.

To end off the day, went to Mandarin Gardens to see Grandpa. He hurt his eye. Saw Ally as well and she is as insane and bubbly as ever. Max is still quiet but he'll grow big enough to make noise soon. :) nice to have 4 generations in the house.

Bought tickets for BaBies Proms for Jill, Ally & I. We are going for a girls day out at VCH in december.

Talk soon. Till then...


God Bless!
