God He Reigns,
Forever more

today ended the three BMC church camps for '05...
i'm just thankful for the opportunity to serve in all of them,
each with their own wonderful experiences and lessons...
just as paul/darius/meltee wrote on their blogs about the amazing way camps can touch you, i can only agree with them...
jyc was, in many ways, an annual routine, but going back to SU at sentosa did bring back memories... new friendships were formed too...
vbc, for my year at least, was our first time dealing with the primary school kids instead of the preschoolers, and it was really fun, albeit the numerous times when all of us had to think twice before acting on our desire to pull our hair out at the kids' antics...
then it was syc for the past three days, not the first time helping, but definitely the one which included the most hands-on participation... we were mainly facilitating the games, and on the campers' part, it was refreshing to witness such gusto in the way they played... not to mention the liberty that we had to make things interesting, a freedom sorely lacking in the jyc games...
had lots of time to chat as well, given that we had no duties as comm members...
first night went for dinner with adriel/josh...
second night was spent with sher/rachh/huiting/jake/josh/adriel/jane at the latter's house playing mahjong/cards... ate at simpang...
stayed over at the hiew residence on both nights...
after the beach games today, we went there to play mahjong etc... left with joshhoe/sam...

met javier at raffles hotel for dinner...
the comedy was part of the Chestnuts series, and its in its 9th year...
jonathan lim and hossam leong were hilarious...
parodies of everything that happened in the arts/media scence in '05...
had drinks at starbucks before returning home...

The enemy has been defeated,
death couldn't hold You down,
We're gonna lift our voices in victory
We're gonna make Your praises loud!
Shout unto God...
john.
