This month is a hectic month for me!

During the first 2 weeks, I have to prepare lots of DOs, COs, and invoices in preparation for the upcoming PC Show 2008. Then followed by PC Show on the 12th to 15th June. Although I only worked from 12th to 13th, it was tiring enough!! My bones are aching and my leg muscles told me that they couldn't stand for another minute anymore!! I reached home at 12.00 a.m. that day and started preparing all the stuffs I'm going to bring for youth camp... All these end at 2.30 a.m. Then the following morning on 14th June, I woke up at 6 plus to get ready! My I can tell you my eyes are drooping like the rabbit's ears... Luckily for me and my brother that Chuan is also going to Kallang Water Sports Centre straight to meet the rest of the youths and teens. So we took a cab there and found the correct place.

At first, I really wanted to meet them all in the evening so that I can skipped away the kayaking part! hahaha J But my brother pushed me along and so down I rolled... rolling soon becomes rowing as we were preparing to get into the kayak. Then suddenly, the instructor who was walking down the steps behind Limin and I, was knocked over by the kayak the guys are bringing down. All I heard was "SCREAM!! and plonked!!!" The next thing I saw was a head bobbing out of the water with lotsa seaweed on top. That was when I realised that she fell from the steps head landing first onto the plank that we are supposed to step on, before falling into the water. Can you imagine how painful it was to have your head knocked onto a wooden plank from high and into the water without any preparation??!!

But she was VERY brave!! 2 of her teammates brought her out of the water and after "regaining" herself, she followed us for kayaking!!! But throughout the kayak, I din really like it that much… L The whole ride was very scary… and my, was I stupid? I keep pouring sea water onto my leg as the weather is terribly hot and the sun is shining blazingly on me!!! Little did I know that seawater will make you even more tan than ever!! DUMB!!! That evening, I’ve got Indonesian flag on my arms and legs… :s

Next day was the amazing race at Pulau Ubin… I really hate the weather la… and it’s my first time to Pulau Ubin… I can just use the quote from Taiwan Maokong Station “You can see nothing except Greenery!” It’s really true lor… there really nothing but lots of trees, branches, grasses, bushes…. MOSQUITOES!!! Overall, I dun have a good impression on Pulau Ubin. If anyone ask if I want to go there ever again, I’ll say NO straight!!! The roads are too curvy to cycle properly with my teeny weeny bicycle skills… I’ll become the best dinner for all the mosquitoes there! The sun is not my best friend! I’ll be able to come up with millions of excuses not to go there!! HahahaaJ

But overall I think the camp was quite good!! Thumbs up for the camp comms!!! I learnt quite a lot of stuffs during the camps and managed to have a good talk with Jane, Cindy, Andrew and Youming.

On 20th June 2008 (Friday), I went to church for “Alone with God camp” after work. I was so scared that I’ll fall asleep during the quiet time… but luckily I didn’t…. We have a session where we sit down in our own corners and did our quiet time and learn how to wait for God’s voice… then pray for our buddy for whatever things that God points out to us…. At first I sat their waiting… wait…. Wait….wait…. very long… wait again…. Then suddenly I got this feeling that I know what to pray for my buddy…

So after that when the lights came on again, we had to go to our buddy and pray for her/him. It was a nice experience for me!! After so long in the office, I have finally found some peace in my heart… I’m so glad that I went for the “camp” as it made me realize things that I usually don’t think about. Then next morning, we had our morning walk around the estate while thinking of how God has worked in our life and how he has created this world! This is where I have found back the joy in me. Maybe I should try it out every week at home instead of twice a year in church…

I realized how important serving is to me… Although many a times I’ve tried to run away from it… But like what cindy has said… the more you run away from it, the more servings you kena… TRUE!! After I realized my mistakes, I gradually learnt how to accept it and soon, it make me realized that servings are important… It is an important step for Christians to grow in the Lord. Through servings and practices, I gradually learnt how to open up to others…

These are what I have thought of and learnt thoughout these few weeks…

God, can I change my job??
