this blog post is actually for yesterday.

Yesterday was my dad's birthday!! Happy birthday Daddy! anyway he wont be seeing this post so yeah. eh dunno.. lols

i spent half the day with my beloved friends, morning i was serving in Usher ministry one last time before i go overseas, then i helped out with the packing of the chairs then attended the s3 fiesta, it was kinda awkward O.o no idea why, but yeah. went to the children's church there to buy nasi lemak. then so happen Vera also appeared there! she was supposed to help her friend for the children's church thingy. then later on chat chat chat before i went off into the fiesta, then i felt bored and helped her out. Serving in children's ministry is kinda fun!

haha i went fellowshipping with esther, jireh and bronson, took this random pic! i managed to convince the mannequin to hold my bottle of milk coffee for me! :D



im still waiting for the photos to be uploaded... waiting waiting. im uploading those for today's too :)

ok lets continue.. later on in the night, my throat was soo painful!! nearly wanted to dance in service again man.. they placed the song "through you". and in the camp, we learned some moves to it :) anyway, i went home, dropped my bag and immediately went out with my family to Paragon to eat at Ding Tai Feng!



we had all these food...

this is how to eat their famous xiao long bao!



then this is the chicken soup, the chicken is tasteless, but the soup is goooood..



lastly, i had fried rice!



OK FULL LIAO!!

i tell you i was so full, i didnt feel well! after leaving Paragon, dad drove us down Orchard Road to see the christmas lightings. i took these pictures with my camera phone, even though its 8.1 megapixels, the car kept on moving! so all those pictures that are really clear, were all by luck :P

boo to this year's christmas lightings, Hitachi and Visa really have a super bad taste man. The christmas lightings are so ugly! even the shopping centres' lightings are way better. here are the pics!!
they were taken from the inside of the car :) dad opened the moonroof covering.

















see ya! now on to my next post!! :D

after reading Vera's blog post, my mind began to zoom in into the nitty gritty details of CAMP BELIEVE...

As i continue to indulge in reminiscence of CAMP BELIEVE,
i still remember the second night of the camp,
when we had our prayer meeting,
i thanked God.

i thanked Him for allowing me to become so open again :)

during the first day of the camp, i remembered i sat quite far behind. all i knew was that i was allocated to Green group. so the crusaders caught my eye! (cuz they were all green!) it was then did i find out i was seating in the wrong group!

then later on a girl came up to me and asked me what my name was :) she was wearing a pink jacket, with her face concealed behind her veil of hair, that was Vera. Some time later, Kim came up and helped me pin on the team identity :) ha! by then i already knew Kim, but not Vera. :P

before i went for this camp, i didnt talk much in my current school, just a few sentences for a day, contrary to my secondary school days. that was what lowered my self esteem and caused me become more humble and conservative.

it was the dinner i had at the hawker centre, the fellowship time i had together with Vera and Benn as we understood each other better, then did i begin to blend in with the Knights. That time was priceless.

i thanked Him for guiding me through this year, as i learnt a lot from this fall in my life.

through this camp, i was isolated from all the troubles and woes i had from my life. all i had was fun fun fun!! all the team building activities, station games, amazing race, just took away all of my troubles.

i thanked Him for the food he has given to us.

after watching the documentary Food Inc, then did i realise how important food was to us. i dont know why i thanked Him for food, maybe i was hungryyy!!

i thanked Him for City Harvest.

ever since i was in primary 2, i was already in a church, but i didnt really take much notice, thanking God for the food i had before every meal..then i joined Church of Singapore. And it was only 2 years ago during christmas, then did i join City Harvest, as i wrapped my arms round my friends on my left and my right. As Pastor Kong continued to encourage more people to go forward for the altar call, then did i take that little step of faith, just that teeny weeny seed faith of mine, as i walked down from the last row of Charlie Terrace, all the way to the front as the whole church waited.

just that small seed faith was needed and now i see myself embeded into City Harvest with the DNA in me and as i continue to wake up early to serve every week, i just pray that we can continue to be together in this one big family, going from glory to glory as we expand our capacity to be wonderful testimonies for our Lord!!

i thanked him for financial blessings,
i thanked him for safety,
i thanked him for giving me such a strong-willed cell group leader bernice,
i thanked him for wonderful and cheerful friends like nicole who is always so caring, Kim who never fails you and never gives up, Vera who is always as cheerful as a piarie.
i thanked him for giving me beauty sleep (even though it felt like only a second)

i thanked Him for so much more stuffs...the list never seemed to end.. i thanked Him for Pastor Kong and all the church leaders...the list seemed to be never exhaustive...

i dont know why, but i suddenly remeber of all the cheer pratices we had, especially the one at riverwalk.. our practice for the moves, the sequences, the flying ( including the part nicole jumped off my leg, injuring me knee :P )
haha thank you to Kim and Vera for heading all the plans for the cheers!! they are really nice! :D

this camp has indeen allowed me to be more open to the world around me, understanding the same world from different aspects.

lastly, A BIG THANK YOU TO TEAM KNIGHT for making this camp such a huge success!! every one of us plays a small part and with TEAMWORK, all things are possible!! i will definitely not forget this camp even if its 30 years from now! i cant be too sure, but yeah!

all those with sun burns, do rest well! especially Donnie :P my skin is all peeling already man..

one thing is for sure this blog post will never fade away and as the memorabillas remain in my mind forever, I BELIEVE that i can change the world starting from myself, i want to continue putting others before me, serving others and helping those in need, i want to continue putting smiles on everyone's face! i want to be a blessing to as many people as possible!

In Jesus name i pray,

Amen :)

Haha!! after all the camps i had, whether was it the fun, school camps or the man vs wild survival scout camps, no doubt, Camp Believe is da best!! :D

took a cell group photo before leaving riverwalk :)



got home last night after a long bus ride from riverwalk, felt so tired and thirsty so i just grabbed whatever drink i could find from the fridge! some yougurt mango drink (not mine), fresh milk(not really freash lah), chocolate milk, green tea and milk coffee!! drank all of them, about 2 glasses each? including the mocha i bought from starbucks before going home..these drinks made such a wonderful concoction i headed to the toilet straight in barely a few minutes! >.<

A big thank you to Kim and Vera for leading team knights through this 3 day journey, thank you for not giving up and always being so lively! also, thank you nicole! for helping us with the body painting and helping to usher during the sessions!

here are the group photos that i have with me, haha i only have some of em..so yeah gotta wait till the rest of the photos are out i guess :P

for me, the part i enjoyed most is the dragonboating and the making of our hats! it was really great seeing everyone getting together and making our hats. just wondering which is the part of the camp you have enjoyed most.. haha here is a pic of Donnie being sunburnt! :P his arm was really red, just that the photo cant really display it so well.



the time that impacted me the most, was the first night, i feel that was when i was more confident on my goal, more confident that i will reach it! its something that i love to do and something that will benefit others :) when i prayed really intensively on the first night, i closed my eyes and visualized his magnificent presence just before me, telling me "piano teacher" with his hands showing the number ten as i saw him mouth the words "ten thousand hours, ten thousand hours, ten thousand hours". That, was when i felt really confident of my dream. ^^

what is your dream?

Thank you team Knight for being such a wonderful team!! this camp, this team, will be etched in my mind forever!
