Christmas Delights

My aunt was back again for the Christmas season and as usual dinner was special. Aside from the Christmas gifts, the food were really awesome.

My sister made this..

Try this on for size

Have a look at this..Japanese bread

Whats dinner without a glass of wine? Different each time.

That's but just a slice of my Christmas. Thank all you guys out there who got me a gift. Really appreciate it. God Bless!

This Is Now!

There have been people that already posted about camp and there are others who haven't. I've been pretty lazy lately so I guess I won't type so much. I won't be posting a typical camp post because this camp was everything but typical.

God already started working even before camp began, looking at the simple things like camp registration. I was helping out so I knew the numbers that were coming in every week and it wasn't much. On the con "last week" for registration, there were 100 youths who signed up and it tallied to about 160. A lot of us were doubting we could reach our target goal of 250 campers but you know what? On the very last week, Jan was the 250th youth to sign up and that itself was a miracle, even before camp began. Later on, everyone found out there was a total of 260 campers. Really praise God for that.

Moving on to camp..this was the first time I actually prayed for camp and I already told God what I wanted Him to do in camp. I went to camp expecting and God didn't fail me. In a way, this is my camp testimony, not straying away from my blog purpose. I told God that I wanted to see from a new perspective. I've attended 3 youth camps as a camper, it's fun and all but I wanted something different, different from the normal youth service that I see every Saturday and different from the usual youth camp sessions. This youth camp I got the opportunity to facilitate the game and be bus leader...again. Being bus leader wasn't so bad. I had the master bus list and I knew the roomings before everyone else. Muahahaha...

That aside, we played the game of Life in camp. It's the real version of the board game. I'm not allowed to discuss the game but it does exist in a real life version with a powerful truth behind it. Turned out everything planned for the game was all finished by some teams on the 1st day of games. So the whole lot of us got together to plan for the next day. For the first time in my life, I saw what our youth was made off, our foundation. After most of the people left, a number of us stayed back to pray. Mind you it was already past midnight and camps were not all free and relax. This was what I prayed for and God really answered it. We prayed liked never before until 2.30 in the morning. No words can express the experience. I think only God and Holy Spirit can fit.

The rest were in the hands of God and it turned out well. I was the camp speaker's host too and I don't think I did very well. Haha. Pastor Jeremy got his message through and it's also a privilege to be an altar worker, another new perspective. Camp definitely brought new friends and we got to play football on the beach. A lot of younger ones came for camp and literally can see the new generation taking over. Well, there is much to say about camp but I just don't know what. Now, let's see if I can "borrow" some pictures from other people...

I'm really glad that break is here but as you can see, I'm too lazy to blog anything, upload pictures and the like. All in all, I would say the break till now is just...

Like I said on top, hols are just empty, oblivious, blank, void, vacant, hollow and any other word that fills the hole. Words that fill emptiness. Hmm..never thought of that. Efforts to recruit friends to get out and do something have all but failed miserably. Would someone cared enough to take me out? I'm not expecting much.

What's left is Youth Camp on Monday. Which reminds me, I'll be off in the next few days...

Whee!

Holidays are here. A whole month of comforting yet dreadfully doing nothing experience. Anyways, a few things have came up from the nothingness.

CF Farewell and Reunion BBQ went on well. And I can testify that my God is great because it rained and it poured heavily but it stopped right before the event started. Turned out lots of people came and lots more of BBQing to do. The video was done well and everyone was happy with the food, I guess. So depressing that my finely built fire, powered by torrents of wind from the rain, went on without a picture. I was so proud of it but I have nothing to showoff. *pretends to wipe off tear from eye*. Then I slept at 4.30am and woke up at 7.30am. Something I haven't done since the 1st day of last year's GY Camp.

Moving on, I had an extremely good impression of McDonald's. I value quality in stuff and in people too. Today, that great impression has been shaken to its foundations. I ordered and paid the bill. It was RM13.55. I paid RM14.00. The cashier handed to me 35 cents. That was number one. Bad mistake. Wrong change is not good for image. Well, that was just a small error. Anyone could have missed it out so I forgave. The next one was just despicable. I ate everything on the tray except for my burger. I didn't even take a look at my burger, a deluxy Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. I went over to the counter to get a refill and come back looking at an empty table. They were just looking for trouble. Come on, my bag was on the seat, like isn't it obvious enough the customer has not left yet?!? The thought of sueing surged through my mind, recalling the lady who spilled hot water in her car and won the lawsuit against McDonald's. So I demanded to see the supervisor, not really but it sounds cool, she kindly acknowledged and sent over a new, hot Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. It mended the reputation but it didn't restore it to it's former glory. I still like the free refills.

Then there's this random rant I found in the bible as I was looking through Song of Songs,

All beautiful you are, my darling; There is no flaw in you. -Song of Songs 4:7

Referring to whom or what? I myself don't know...
