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

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!!!)

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 :)
