heya, i am non officially out of army but am clearing my off'leave now so i don't have to go back camp anymore. i thought i would be really happy that after so much fatigue work (sai gang), i can get on with my life. then, i realised that army made up quite a big part of my life (used to anyway). the feeling of moving on sucks, i hate readapting of new life, not that i want to sign on or anything.
anyway, it got me thinking. being a missionary is the same thing. once god calls u to a mission field, u leave everything behind and go. and when god moves, u move again. there is no fixed place, it can be quite tiring after awhile, u will give up if ur eyes are not fixed on God who gives u strength. i genuinely am convinced that missionaries live a tough and sacrificial life. BUT, having to live by faith and dependant on God on a everyday basis, its quite a good deal!
so eh, let me share with u about my tf camp experience. i managed to change my duty with someone so i went for the full camp. however, because of that, i was one day short of off so i had to take mc on friday just to cover it up. what happened after that was that i went for camp late due to the appalling waiting time at the hougang polyclinic. i waited for a freaking 3 hrs. so from hougang, i travelled via mrt to sembawang. was able to get some sleep on the way since i woke up at 7am just to avoid long queues. how wrong i was!!
everyone gathered at the field to play games when i strolled in. edwin and joel was on the floor like not moving since they were somewhat injured or so i thought. i joined in when they started playing ultimate frisbee. to cut the long story short, my team won.
after that game, we went for discussion and since my group only had two guys, ps dave took us. we shared abit on our struggles and what's stopping us from evangelism. oh by the way, the topic was how to live a victorious christian life. all in all, what i got from the discussion was that living victoriously, its firstly establishing a firm relationship with God, followed by an overflowing of his love towards His people. alot of us missed out on the most important latter part. if we look plainly at john 3:16, He gave His one and only begotten son. its all about giving but God is gracious, He didn't expect us to give what we do not have but what we have in abundance.
when discussion was over, we went back to the bb campsite and played more games. initially, i thought the plan was to play captain's ball. i dunno y we ended up playing soccer. the girls made a comment, something like this, "all of u so tall, at least if we play soccer, got more chance of touching the ball. " i wanted to play a relax game but dunno y when i started playing, i had to run and get the ball. its like my legs didn't obey my commands, or perhaps its just a bad excuse to be competitive. obviously after the game, i was super tired, so was everybody else. alot of people got injured, all girls, so we realised that we were too rough. i dunno y girls got such fragile bodies. when God created female, i think it was a mistake to take out adam's ribs. it breaks too easily. nah just a joke, i don't think girls should be so tough, it would be so scary if all girls ended up stronger than guys. u know actually i read somewhere that if a guy an girl of same size and weight were to fight, the female will be stronger and most likely win. a few lessons that we can learn from this
1) girls are scary when they fight
2) it is unwise to pick a fight with a girl
3) find a wife that is smaller size than u =p
so er, let me continue bout camp. i was tired after soccer but after resting for awhile, it became quite sian so i went to edmund and suggested to play with the cones and a ball. then he was like y don't we try to balance the cone on our heads. and that was what we did for the next few minutes. we had a mini competition whereby we were suppose to run to touch a wall without dropping the cone on our head. next, we had to turn 10 rounds on the spot. for both games, i won. we realised that it was rather spastic so we tried playing catch with the cone and the soccer ball. by inverting the cone, it has a hole big enough for a ball to sit nicely on it. so without using our hands to catch the ball, we used cones. by then, jon ji and joan had enough rest so they joined in. that lasted another couple of minutes and then we got sick of it so we decided to have another competition. we were suppose to balance the cones on our hands and at the same time, try to topple cones from ur opponents. because i was the best there, they decided to gang me. but, the good always triumph over evil so ya, i WON!!
we took a couple of videos and since we still had time, we brought a bench to the basketball court and put the 4 cones on it. then, we sat behind the yellow line and tried to hit the cones with the soccer ball. everyone was entitled 4 tries. as we went on with the game, adeline taiqin joelchong edwin joelyong joined in. we played for 4 rounds before going back to our bunks to bathe. and the overall champ is ..... ME!! i think i am quite gifted in retarded games. all in all, i'm quite proud of myself for being so random.
at night, we had worship followed by a video of successful ministry and revival in other countries like uruguay. a whole nation dedicating themselves to God on national day. it was extremely powerful and inspiring. however, i still wasn't so burdened by the whole evangelism thingy.
second day, ps eunice spoke to us. i read a passage about the woman who poured perfume on jesus feet and used her hair to wipe it. ps eunice told us to read it really slowly and ask God to speak to us. as we examine the verses and read through it a couple more times, no words or phrases caught my attention so ya. it seemed as though i was the only one that didn't felt anything but i suppose that's fine too. then, she gave us some markers to write what God said to them on the paper pinned on the wall. the markers had like pictures of butterflies and some other random shapes. i was quite fascinated with it and started chopping it on everyone and everywhere. so fun!
at night, dave spoke and somehow, i was challenged by God to share the gospel to 50 of my campus mates during my orientation camp which happens to be this coming sunday. its not a dare, more like a burden for them. i joined the camp for that actually, get contacts to share christ. so ya, as we proceed on for discussion, my group joined joy teo's cg and as we discussed, we decided to print a t shirt that says im a christian, ask me why. this shirt will actually get people to ask u and then we can share our personal testimony. anyone interested to get it as well?? and yes, that was our plan.
ivan came halfway through the discussion. we prayed for our leaders, joy and james ji and went off for our own games. it started off with me adeline and grace. we played some games which involved the finger movement but adeline totally couldn't control her fingers properly so we played the goggle thingy. eventually my entire cg joined in so we set new rules. loser has to drink a cup of water and since we started the game at 10.30pm, no one is supposed to go toilet until 11.30pm. adeline was totally finishing up everything on the table. kash joined us after awhile and she became the next victim. then, we played 007 bang ahh.. zhenghui came up with another rule in which the middle guy has to do the yandao pose while the two guys at the side have to raise up both their hands and shout ahh.. finally as the older ones got tired, more people left so we tried to grab people from other cg to play polar bear with us. it was quite retarded, we made alot of noise and after awhile, some guy from other church complained so we had to tone down and after that , the atmosphere was different. we felt really restricted so ya, i went back to bunk to sleep. oh ya, during polar bear, when we were eating potato chips so when we closed our eyes, we'll try to locate the chips by sweeping our hands left and right. i decided to take this opportunity to play a joke on joel chong who was constantly on the move. as i took the bag of chips and placed it on my lap, joel swept the table to the point whereby his hand accidentally pushed against the cup of water and it landed on no one but me. sheesh!! the second time i did that was when j kwok sat beside me. this time round, i make sure that there wasn't any cup so ya.
i think ivan woke me up like when he came back into the room but i was semi conscious so ya, i went back to slp right away. morning was great! ps daniel spoke to us and God spoke to me again. i caught a vision of myself preaching to alot of people on stage. i was excited but at the same time scared. i always have stage fright, thats y i dun like to give testimonies during yf. anyway, heopfully god will use me and by that time, i pray that i will be prepared for whatever he tasks me to do.
so ya, that was all for tf camp. i went home straight, took some strong cough medicine and slept till it was time to book in. heh. once again, i am out of the army!!!!
