14-04-09 (Tuesday) "OCF Canberra Easter Camp '09"

... "The Last Days"...

That was the theme of the camp this time. Very awesome camp. Fellowship was just awesome. Really felt the family bond between everyone at the camp.

We had this hour and a half drive out of Canberra to this place called Wee Jasper (Little Jasper, heheh...) And MY the scenery was just out of this world!

The place is in this valley SURROUNDED by mountains!

Wake up in the morning, open the door and this is what you see...

Those are the horses there in the foreground, in their 'pen'...
The last days - From Jesus' first coming to His second, which is basically now... Is NOT that scary after all. As I think about how wonderful and awesome-some heaven will be, really gets me all excited and hyped up abt getting there! The best part...? Its not abt doing good deeds and giving a lot of money to get to heaven. You just hafta know The Way there! Yep yep... Simple faith and trust in God's gift of salvation is all you need!

Well, like any OTHER camp, there always HAS to be fun...

And fun there was...

Levitation... using nothing but F-A-R-T power. hahah...
Some in the name of fun...

And others just to get back at others...

And, giving credit to whomever it was that invented it...

King Kong, Kang Kong... King Kong Kang Kong...*1*..*2*.. ONE! TWO! THREE! KING KONG! ONE! TWO! THREE KONG! *pause*... Everyone: WHAT..??!?
I've brought 'King Kong Kang Kong" all the way from Miri to Australia now! I still remember the 1st time playing on the table outside the chalet at Similajau during Prefects' Camp 4 years ago! Was it Ben Tan or Ing Cheng who introduced it? Cheers!!

I still am amazed that they played it for 3 hours straight and was laughing all the way...
I was just totally ROFL-ed when it came to the skit. 30 minutes of preparation. That's all we got. We had to include some random lines and random items in our skit. The outcome was just... CCCcckkKCCCccraaaaAaAaaAAazzzyyYYyyy!!!

The creativity of everyone involved(especially Han Hui) just left me at a loss of words.

Willy the "Pregnant-ness"
One of the major highlights of this camp would be the starlight/moonlight worship. Out in the dark, with the moon illuminating our figures, we sang and praised our Creator for over an hour, oblivious to the drooping temperature. Some have been wondering whether heaven would b boring, having to spend eternity doing the same thing over and over...

If you've had an experience as such... You wouldn't even mind having to spend THREE eternities praising God!

I think it may have been the smaller number of campers that might've helped it be so close-knit and fun but...

I dare say everyone had the most laughter-filled period of their lives!

I could just caress and stare at horses for hours and still be awed by their beauty. I wish breeding horses was sth cheap, affordable and easy but... They are potent in ways that involve more than muscles...

These were all around the campsite, marking where the horses have covered in their lives there.
Going to a place like this for a camp gave me a whole new level of awe for God's creations... Majestic horses... Brilliant moonlit sky strewn with twinkling stars... Towering mountains everywhere you turn... Walking in mist at night so thick that you only see two steps ahead of you...

... More importantly... Lovely, fun-filled, made-in-the-image-of-God ppl to hang out with...

... MOST importantly... The most awesomest, amazing-est and loving-est God being amidst us through it all!!!

Job well done, OCF Canberra! Keep it up for the glory of God!!
