Sweet Infectious Confessions: The year is ending once again

Hey guys. It is the 31st of December again. Damn, life is in a hurry. How fast can things move. Let's see... I still haven't updated my old post. Before anyone can say that I am one year behind on my posts, I shall slowly and pain stakingly update the month of December. Embrace yourselves, it is going to be a long post.

First of all, the CEC End Year Camp. It was fun. 3 days and an overnighter during the beginning of the school holidays (Too bad classes for college were still on.) The first day included everything from no toothpaste on friends' arm and taking videos of others snoring (ground rules). It started off with Andre's session - Chosen. I think it had something to do with Chicken Eagle and Charcoal to Diamond. Next was break and the next session. Basically, the whole camp is about reaching out to others and not being so darn selfish.

To talk about the whole camp in detail is plain impossible. So let me run through the highlights when I was not doing the disappearing act (balancing college and church all at the same time). Let me see, first was the Kampung Manis gotong royong that everyone did. It was so awesome. We spent two hours just picking up loads of rubbish. Click here to see the results!

Besides that, there were group activities, talks from various outreach ministry and of course, games. And yes, they also involve loads of water. It was quite fun, though I definately never intended to get wet. But I did. Ah well...

NEXT, exposure. Down from 85 poeple to 40 people. Five days of work in homes (old folks, children's, nursing homes and even the recycling center) Woah! So much work, so little time. Before you know it, It is 4.30 and you have to go home. Everyone got pretty attached to the people there and I think that some of the youths actually went back to visit them. Good job guys. The schedule was 10.00 till 4.30. Then back to church for debriefing. Honestly, the month of December flew by pretty fast.

Third week of the adventure... MUSICAL PRACTICE! It was fun. Only 36 people could commit. Two weeks of practice. For presentation. Technically, the youth spent about 14 hours practicing. The rest of the time was gotong-royonging, dance lessons and of course, sessions and PAW. It was awesome. God was really present throughout the whole experience man. No way the power of man can handle a supposedly three month practice squashed into 15 hours. The youth are awesome. Props to them. The musical I think would be sold in church later on. News on that later. Guess what, for the musical, I was SMG (Smoke Machine Girl). HA! It was so cool. It was as if the actors were farting on stage. A LOT! Especially Ryan in Heaven. Woosh, stinky! ^^ Pictures can be found here. Here are some pictures that I like from the musical itself.
