back from camp! really awesome 3 days and 2 nights with the awesome family of God, and the awesome God!
really grateful to the wonderful people who made the camp happen. and also the game masters, and so on. really appreciate the creativity and effort put into the games! if not for the weather we'd have played everything, but oh well.
the venue, Singapore Vision Farm @ CCK, is one of a kind. the "bunk" was a setup of bunk beds (without mattresses) stuffed under a giant tent, and just 3 fans were to provide moving air for the entire bunk. the "toilet" was just a container, where we showered under what were essentially running taps on the ceiling, and curtains were the only source of security. the toilets were beetle and flying ant and frog-infested. but thank God for this venue! for it really made me value what I took for granted: something soft to sleep on, lockable doors, SHOWER HEADS, and walls that block out the mosquitoes. the mosquitoes over there are true warriors; they won't cease attack till you literally slaughter them. and as usual, I was a feeding ground for them. racked up an impressive 50 bites (approx.) over 3 days and 2 nights. oot oot! mozzies love Benjamin.
the outdoor bunk was only for the guys though - the girls had air-conditioned (or at least indoor) dorms to sleep in. but thank God for them! they were willing to squeeze in one of the dorms so the other one could be vacated for the guys to occupy, so they wouldn't be attacked by mozzies anymore. still, one of my camp objectives was to "tough it out"... so I toughed it out. the bunk AND the shower. I survived! it was a really good experience... one I probably won't experience again till NS. and I showered like a new man when I got home. :) again, shower heads and doors are luxuries, ladies and gentlemen!
got to know some people better, got to know some new people, and learned a lot! God also guided me during the camp in solving a major issue. God felt my pain. He loves me. and for my sake, He had to force me to make a choice. I've made it, but the problem is far from over. gotta guard my heart, and keep focus. shepherd, pray for me! ^^,
