Can you?

Eight day to go.... Can you say you're not excited for camp?

If u're answer is YES... *faints*

tis*tis*tis*. what a pity. hehee.

On a serious tone, i would really encourage you to start praying, asking God to create that excitment in your heart. God is going to move in camp, with or without you. There will be an awesome time of worship, a powerful time of sermon and a smashing time of praying...and it just doesnt stop there.... Start committing urself to Him, ask God to prepare your heart. Again, i stress.. Go with an expectation. Start asking!! Start expecting! If u ask according to His will, He will NEVER disapoint you.

Dont go home, unfulfilled. Instead, go home testifying that you met God in camp.

Take care. Have a wonderful week ahead.



p/s: the checklist is out. if you need one, pls rememebr to collect it this weekend. Or u can click on the 'checklist picture' below for an enlarged version.

We had a brainstorm in the evening today. And we finally drafted out the bus list, room list and group list!!! Yeay!

Oh, anyway...we will be going to Malacca in four buses. Bus 1, Bus 2, Bus 3, and Bus 4. hehehe. Names have been divided accordingly. 'We did our best!' As for the room list, we tried our best to accomodate every of your request, especially those bring frens. After, mix and matching here and there... we had managed to come out with a tentative list. If im not mistaken, it'll be out for you all to be viewed some time soon.

We also elected the leaders and assistant leaders for the groups! :) See, we achieved so much today! However, just today is not enough. There'll be another meeting next week to finalise more stuff.

From now till then.. :)

Lastest Updates!!

KLANG: GTA Klang's youth group, Youth Alive, will be having the biggest event of the year in December that is their annual Youth Camp 2005.


This camp, an event brought to you by Youth Alive! of GTA will be held on the 26th to 29th December, at d' Village Resort, Ayer Keroh, Melaka. The price per person, is RM 170. It must be noted that an additional RM 20 will be charged for late registration, that is after the 11th December.


Kenny Chin, 20, the camp director pleaded guilty of committing the offence of organizing the camp when interviewed in his residence in Jalan Kapar here on Dec 9, 2005. Kenny, the director of last year's camp was excited when The Insider started asking for updates concerning the camp. Like a bullet-train, he ranted on and on about camp. However, he refused to comment whether or not there will be a 'tiger-caught' this year.



One male camper, who wished to be identified as Jan, expressed his excitement of being able to attend camp. "Ahh..so nice larr. Last year's camp was great, this year its gonna be awesome! Can't wait for the day to come!" After investigating his background, it was established that he was one of the first few to sing up! 'Good job Jan!'



As The Insider surveyed the registration counter last Sunday, it was not surprising to find out that there were many last minute registrations! A total of 19 campers signed up, which makes the total head count of 131 people. The secretary, Ernest Tee, confirmed this amount. "Yes, we are moving towards our target! Pressed, but not crushed, we will be trusting God for more."



The committees, who met last Saturday for a meeting, have come to a consensus concerning the number of t-shirts to be printed for each size. Initially, there was a minor dispute between the camp director and his assistant on how many baby-tees to be printed for the girls. It was 50 pieces against 60 pieces. Both of them had their own arguments. The director was thinking more of 'what if it doesn't sell? guys can't buy it!' Ahha..maybe they can buy it for the sister or gfs. On the other hand, the assistant argued that there are more than 60 girl campers! After analyzing the name list, giving the issue much consideration, Kenny graciously agreed to 60 pieces. When approached for comment, Michelle, the assistant, advised the girls not to procrastinate when buying the t shirts! "It comes on a first come first serve basis!! Grab them!"



Next, The Insider moved on the financial part of camp. The visibly distressed treasurer, Caroline Lim, urged campers to pay their camp fees. "Please coorporate. Pay your camp fees!" When furthered interviewed, it was shocking to find out that only 50 persons had paid their full camp fees!!! What about the rest? "Yes, its very difficult on the part of the committee to plan, even some haven't paid a deposit," she added. The money will be utilized for transportation, and other neccessary costs.


Logistics coordinator, Julian Koay dismissed rumours that the Youth Camp will be a 'survival camp' style. He reaffirmed that the camp will be a place, where the campers will be able to unwind and relax, in addition to that, gain a refreshing exprience with God. The Insider made a detailed check on the venue, and found out that the rooms were equipped with air conditioning, and hot/cold showers. "There's gonna be a ballroom, with a capacity to host 1000 people." No holiday is complete without a swim in the pool. The resort has a swimming pool for a refreshing swim or simply lie back for a relaxing sun bathing experience.


When asked about the camp booklet, chirpy Promotion Coordinator, announced that the camp booklets will be out soon! However, she refused to comment on the details. Investigation is still going on.


When approached, the Prayer Coordinator, Sara Lee, urged the campers to start praying for camp! "Camp is cominng nearer and nearer, its not too early to start praying!" She also highligted the fact that there will be a Sunday morning prayer meeting at 7am in MPH 3 every week, till the day of camp.


There will be loads of fun programmes this year. It has been decided that there will be one workshop session slotted in this year. Kyleen Teh, the program director, reported that she had assigned a couple of people to handle the games. When asked further on what games will be held, she smiled and declined to answer.


Not forgetting an important part of camp, the praise and worship! The coordinator, Daniel Seliong, updated The Insider on the progress of the practices. According to him, due to some circumstances, some of the worship teams have been swapped for the nights. However, he confirmed the songleaders for the night will be Melvin and Reuben.


The Youth Pastor, Pastor Gideon couldn't be reached for any comments. According to some unindentified sources, he is apparently away on a 7-days mission trip to Sarawak. Please keep him and his team in prayer. The other committees, Anthony Lam and Ryan cannot be located too.


Youth Camp is going to be a blast! Sign up today! Its still not too late. See you all there!

Start praying!!!

Hey campers!

There's a strong tugging in my heart. We need to start pray hard for Youth Camp.

Here's a list to guide you what to ask God for:
(they are in no particular order. all are equally important)

1. Campsite -
for santification of the campsite, for favour from the management of the resort, for His protection through out the camp. pray that everything will go well: from the PA system, to every small detail.

2. Journey -
grant us safe journey, to and fro. grant us good weather. skillful bus driver. that nothing will hinder us from reaching the campsite on time.

3. Speakers -
Commander Gideon, Edmund Smith - that God prepare them, equipt them adequately for camp. That God will use them to speak into the hearts of the young people, and this truth will set many lives free. For God's protection to be upon them, and their family members.

4. Worship team -
for God's abundance annoiting be upon them, even during practices.

5. Camp Committee -
grant them wisdom, good discretion when making decisions for camp. to set their differences apart, and work together as a team for this camp.

6. Campers (yes, urself!) -
Ask God to prepare your hearts, to come with an expecting heart. Start telling God what you want to see Him do in camp. Never belittle what God can do for you. Ask him for MORE! He'll never disapoint you.

7. Salvation of the non-believers -
That God meet them personally in camp, and that they'll accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. Let it be a non-forgettable experience for them.

8. Food - :)
hey, food is important ok! Pray for the menu. That nice, clean, healthy, hygienic food will be prepared.

There will be a Sunday morning prayer meeting at 7 am every week, till the day of the camp. =) Join us. It's gonna take everybody's effort to make this camp a success.

p.s: The commitee will be fasting on everyday Thursday, lunch. Again, join us if you can. Make an effort to remember. Thanks. =)



All excited for camp,

21 days to go!

21 days to camp!

Will you be there?

Personally, (i think i mentioned this in my previous entry)

IM EXCITED!!! :)

hip hip hooray!!

The committe had a meeting last Saturday, and we had so much to finalise. The design for the t-shirt have been pretty much decided. We made Alison, Daniel, Kyleen, and Julian model the shirts during the meeting. We 'needed' them to decide which size fits who. For the girls, we're gonna have baby tees!! How cool is that?! However, they are limited in stock and it sells on a first come first serve basis...during camp! (i think) If you managed to catch a glimpse of Alison with her ponytail up last Saturday, may i highlight the fact that she was wearing D t-shirt. :) *say hi alison!* But of course, not that size la! She's so tiny!

Another hip hip hooray!! point is that we have a total of (approx) 131 campers so far! Guys and girls, its still not to late to sign up!! Bring ur frens...classmates..neighbours!! Oh may i mention that out of 131 campers, less than 50% of them have paid their FULL CAMP fees! *hint hint hint* hehe. :P Pleasseee..payy upp la!!!

oh well. enough said today. its a monday. the start of a new week.

have a splendid week.

The significance: Its out first camp shirt!!!!

Aren't you all excited?

I've already seen the sample tee...its GREEN. However, i heard that after getting a couple of feedbacks, there's gonna be some major changes to it. :)

May i encourage those who are still deciding whether to sign up for camp, to take this bold step, submit your form this weekend. :) Its going to be an unforgetable experience. If you're thinking...'yeah right', ..*sighs* ..the choice is yours. I've been going for youth camp for years, and each year, every camp, i encounter a new experience with God. And its my desire that ALL of you will have this oppurtunity too. Btw, Im not saying that you will not be blessed if u dont sign up, I just saying...grab this oppurtunity! =)

This camp is going to be different!!!! Trust me. The program director has already drafted out the camp timetable, and we managed to slot in workshops this time around. :) See, i told you so. There'll be fun fun games... Oh well, enough said for today.

Hope to see you all there.
Take care frens.

ps: Pls dear campers, may i request that you pay your camp fees. Thank you.

Hello Again!

Hello Friends!

My sincerest apologies. I know i have not been faithfully updating this blog but please be a little understanding...The Insider has lots of other commitments!!!

Anyway, as mentioned in previous entries... Registration IS open!!!!! There's a whole new deal now... IF u do register within this week... You get to choose your own roomates!!!! Mind u, its 3 to a room...guys with guys. and girls with girls.

Let me illustrate my point now: ( i know, it doesnt really make sense)

Since Collin is goodfrens with Julian and Daniel, he can choose to have them as his roomates. However, the problem only arises if Julian becomes hamsap and decides that he doesnt want to be in the group and chooses to stay with girls! ...which is a totally impossible, inobtainable thing to think of.



Up to date, we have 50 registrations! And its only October! If u dont want to be disapointed, i strongly suggest that u sign up this Saturday!

For your benefit, i came up with the brilliant idea of 'Guidelines to signing up for Youth Camp'. Just follow the simple steps below:

1. Ask for a form
2. Fill up the details.
3. If u're below 18, make sure u get an autograph from ur parent
4. Pay the deposit of full amount.
5. Hand the form back.

And voila! U're registered! Simple eh. I've even devised a simple song... U ASK! FILL! AUTOGRAPH! PAY ! Hand it backk....OOooOo.... ASK! FILL! AUTOGRAPH!! PAY!! and HAnd it bacckkkkk..... Oooo...

How can one not sign up then? See you guys at the booth this Saturday!

Its True.

Some of u all have approached us, asking all sorts of questions on the campsite. After answering them, some of them went like this ' u sure or not? have u been there? u all saw the place already mer?' The worst part is when they say.. 'dont bluff la'. hehehe.. our reflex reply would be.. ' bluff u got money get ah?' .. but then, diplomatically, we answer..(with best smiles).. Yes, its true.

And we have been there. Some of us, at least. Here are pictures of the 'outside' of the campsite. I'll save the inside ones for later entries.

Its Finally Out!


Its here. Its finally here. The forms are finally out! Youth Camp's registration forms are finally out. The launch of youth camp's registration started yesterday, in conjunction with the YA's anniversary.

There was a video clip, featuring last year's camp... it serves as a reminder on how much fun we had last camp....there was the famous no 20 tshirt, 'packeted' rice, the grossy telematches... !!!! to be honest, i see no reasons not to go!!


Forms are finally out. So get your copy.. fill in ur details, get ur parents to sign it.. pay ur deposit. .and u're one step closer to camp!

btw, i know the forms are a little.. ahem* photostated. .. but.. i assure u, the commitee will be coming out with printed forms.. hopefully by this week.. (there were some problems with the shop's printer last week).. our apologies.

below is an example of how the form looks like... pls.. make sure u sign up for the right camp!!
