H1N1.

UPDATE !
UPDATE !
.
As most of us might have already known, one of our schoolmates and CF members has been confirmed tested positive of the H1N1 virus.
Many have been quarantined and some of our CF members, apparently are being inspected or experiencing some symptoms of the flu because of close contact with this CF member.
.
So as brothers and sisters in Christ, we, the CF urge all of you who know or who are reading this post, to unite in PRAYER to fight against this enemy (the virus) .
.
Let us be the avenue where we and other students work together through prayer to fight against this enemy through the blood of Jesus Christ.
.
GET WELL SOON, BROTHERS!
HAVE FAITH =)

Not quite hot yet... Heatwave: Wave 1

Dear Heatwave campers,

Missing Camp? Well come back next year :) and for the Form 5s, treasure the memories for life... I will.

So without further dragging let's get down to business... I'm going to write abt camp and ur going to read it. Deal? Haha, dun worry, I'm a very interesting writer :)

So we gather at DK court and leave in true Malaysian style, at 10.15am; 15 mins behind schedule. There are 55 campers in all, together with Ms Lee and Ms Liang in the two buses.

Fastforward to abt 1pm and Harvest Haven is before our eyes. It's so small -_-' Whoever took those pictures on the post before this on the place gets 100 marks from me man... He/she made the place look so big!!! with all the right angles, lighting and whatever lah. But he certainly got us there man :p

Upon arrival there's a little chaos but everything is soon settled and we are now sitting in the hall.
Wah so obedient all our campers :)

First up there's 'Angels and Mortals'. It's a game where u r supposed to do nice things for a person whose name you draw from a bag. The person is your mortal, you are the angel. Simple right?

Kah Hoe: Can I join your group?
David: No!
Aaron: No! Reject!

Wah, why CF people suddenly become so clique-ish one and some poor souls, like me, just seem to be perpetually outcast.. No lah, it's only the 'Accept me, reject me' game. Each person is labelled with tags and then supposed to get into groups but the twist is there is a condition on the labels like, 'Accept me if I'm a guy/girl', 'Accept me if I wear specs' or just plain, cruel - 'Reject me'.
Game in progress...

The wonderful groups: (alphabetical order no favouritism)
Belacan
Cili Padi
Jalapeno
Tom Yam
Vindaloo
Wassabi

The teachers:


SU people: (including guests form Myanmar) woot!!!


Now comes a very interesting segment of the article... The Longest/Biggest/whatever-est

Longest...

Leg span!!! Ok lah I didn't win but still I'm good right :)
Wai Wan: 3rd longest

Smallest...
Brain!!! No lah - ear lobes :)

Smoothest...
Skin!!! What! That's it? Not bum or something?!?! *Sunshine doing the judging ;)

Now some honourary mentions:

Longest-est-est-est...
Everything!!! Here KY's showing his amazing *freaky* tongue :)

Most...
Leg hair!!! I dun lie :)

Finally there's a passing ball game
We're supposed to transport the ball using our hands placed on our heads as a path for it to roll...
Here's an example of how it's done :)

All eyes on the ball...
Boys and girls in *ahem* close proximity...

With that the games session came to an end and all the campers went back to their rooms.
(Wah fully-airconditioned man!!!)

6pm Dinner
7.30pm Chee Cheong Fun

Khye: Wah how to eat after dinner...
Chen: No lah its only the FUN part... LOL
KY: Huh?!?
CS: Fun as in GAMES lah!!!

Kah Hoe's Pool station...
Get the black one!!!
Like playing golf only...

Aaron and David's blindfold station :)
Snake!!! Jump 5 times... *How immature can you get, tsk tsk tsk.

Jen Wei's D*EP station... never mention the word...


Sugar, spice and everything nice, but Professor accidentally added bitter gourd and thus
Chen Sern was born!!!
Using his long list of questions to test our BK and punishing us with vegetable and fruits *argh* when you get it wrong!!!
Who can stop this little fella reign of terror???
Not this group apparently...
Drink it, ye who dun know ye'r Bible... hahahah

One final challenge, not sure what
But they sure seem semangat-ed
Hmm... Teachers take note :) They seem to be studying something!!!
*De*p Gasp!!!*

8.30pm WORSHIP!!!
Aaron and back-up, Yan Chee & Calvin
Musicians
FEMALE drummer!!! wah...
The enthusiastic crowd

Session one: Who is God to you?
Speaker: Christina Leong, SU

First activity: Write anything event or person from the Bible and come paste on the timeline:

Chen: Eh, what was the woman David was peeping at ah?
Kah Hoe: David Rosh? When?
Chen: Not our David lah... King David
KH: Oh... Bathsheba

And so we came up with a very interesting and quite complete timeline of our own.

Seems like most people really remember the cross and the events surrounding it.

So why the timeline? Because it's God plan for His people.

And you see the big gap after the cross till the end?
Well that's where we belong. Each of us is in God's plan and He has a place for each of us.
All the events and people that have gone before us were a spark, just like you and me now. And most importantly, they became a heatwave that lives on till today. We too have the potential to become a heatwave, but only if we allow God to change and use us.

Lesson #2 - God can relight your spark. Even if you sometimes fail and the spark dies out, God will never give up on you. He is ever there for you.

Activity #2: Leave your handphones in the box. WHAT!!! NOOoOOooOoo...



Then take a candle and go outside.
Pitch black as we set off. People are dropped off, alone at isolated places at diff places. While there Christina asked us to think about who God is to us.
Suddenly there's a bright flash of light! What was that! Oh it was Miss Lee taking a pic.
If you look hard enough, that's me at the right of the pic in white :)
Then I think: It's been 20 mins what am I doing here? Arhh... Stupid insects... Itchy grass... Wait what's that? Light! Oh yes!!! I'm saved.Khye Yuen receiving light from Jitki
Christina lighted the candle of the camper A who then lighted the light of the B, who lighted the light of C and so on till all had light.
Simple illustration with a powerful message: A single candle can light many, many others; a single spark can start a heatwave.

Leviticus 6:13 'The fire shall always be burning at the altar, it shall never go out"
Keep the fire going!!!
I'll leave you with this:
A example of what happens when bad cameraman-ship produces funny but cool pictures.
Anyone can make out what shape or word these jokers are writing?

That's all for now...
The on9 co has spoken
He shall now go to sleep :)

HEYO!

Education is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity
~ so it says on one of the billboards in SMKDU
.
So What's digging everybody?
.
Exam results have been most insufferable but by God's grace, and thankfully, we're still SURVIVING!
Yeah?
Yeah =)
Well, we'll wait till next Saturday, perhaps?

* Reportcard Day.ahhh!HAH! no pressure for people like Heang-lee! :D*
.
__________________________________________________________________
Anyways, just looking through the blog and I realized we hadn't had our song of the quarter for quite some time now, haha, I wonder why!
.
First things first, anybody heard of a band

DELUGE?

.

OK, if you have, give me a *woooot ~!*
And if you haven't, it's ok,we still love you but God loves you more.
.
Ok. I think many of us sing/use Planetshakers or Hillsong (United)'s songs during worship. Can't blame them, they've practically taken over the christian music industry (with good cause of course) . But have you checked out other bands - Desperation, Delirious?, Generation Unleahsed, Jesusfreaks, DELUGE and others who share their equal amount of talents to be used for God's glory?

YOU SHOULD CHECK THEM OUT.
.

Of course, ultimately, it's not about how good they sound, or how cliche their lyrics are.

We have one sole purpose to fulfill when we worship:
GOD

.
So yeah, found a really really moving song from Deluge about being truly worshipping God.

So spare some time to chill and check out this song.
.

.
.
(Verse)
Take this offering that I bring
Humbly I fall on my knees
To proclaim You're everything
My life's nothing without You
Take my hand and lead me through
You are my sustaining love
(Pre-Chorus)
I live to worship You
I live to worship You
(Chorus)
Here I am worshiping You
With all I am worshiping You
Bowing down in spirit and truth
With lifted hands worshiping You
(Bridge)
I'm gonna worship You forever
I'm gonna worship You

Haha. yeah, I'll like to see ya all do that =)
___________
Before I toodles off, here;s a scripture that I'll like to leave with ya all.
It taught me some thing. It started off when King David realized his sin through Nathan the prophet when He committed adultery with Bathsheba, on how we sould ask forgiveness from God from our iniquities.
.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me,
Don not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me."
Psalm 51:10-11

DUCF CAMPERS ALERT!

check out your snail mails/emails these few days.
Briefing notes, agenda, where to meet, contacts are all packed up nicely for you in one envelope.

but just in case,
here are some footnotes about camp, what to bring and expect:

1. Bible, stationeries and writing materials.

2. Personal toiletries and towel

3. Coins and extra money ( just in case)

4. Dressing is casual for all sessions but do be discreet and appropriate (no spaghetti or tank tops or midriff baring tops or hot pants or hipster jeans allowed. This is to show respect for one another). Don’t forget proper sports attires because this camp’s learning ‘classrooms’ are both indoor and outdoor.

5. You are required to bring a set of smart/formal wear (batik shirt, long sleeve shirt, slacks and shoes for guys and dinner dress, dinner suit or baju kurung for the gals) to be worn for the final night... a sort of prom night for you. The event will be called HOT night aka Hanging Out Together night

6. Do bring your gaming equipment too like your Pingpong rackets, Basketballs and Footballs as there will be free time everyday for your sporting activities

7. During the HOT night, there will be a talent time session where the campers (you!) will be allowed to perform in front of everybody! Bring your Backing Tracks if you intend to sing and bring your CDs if you intend to dance alone or by a group as well as your necessaries. Do inform Sunshine or Ee Choong the moment camp commences to ensure that you have a slot during Talent Time.

8. As a precaution against mosquitoes please bring mosquitoes repellent or electric mosquitoes mat burner.

9. Bring lots and lots of extra clothes and make sure they are not those which are branded or expensive as there are games where you are required to get down, wet and dirty. Most of the area there are air-conditioned therefore bring a jacket if one gets too cold.

10. Do bring little gifts/presents or little things as there’ll be this game called Angels& Mortals where the Angels are suppose to bless their Mortals throughout the whole camp.

**for those leaving with us on the bus, bus LEAVES tentatively 10am at DK court.
PLEASE BE THERE AT 9.30 am SHARP or EARLIER
Mind you! phone calls asking us to delay departure because you are still on the way will not be entertained.
