Our forum started at 7.oopm with a prayer by Andy Gan. First on the agenda..' the theme'. Kenny explained that the theme for this camp would probably be the same as last year's (with a little modification). The camp committe was required to come up with ideas on a catchy phrase based on the camp's Scripture verse: 1 Peter 2:6-10
6 For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."7Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone, 8and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Kenny made all the committee contribute ideas. Everyone had to crack their brains... Grace, out of desparation..gave the suggestion of 'wa beh hiao' (which means I dont know). Respecting her view, Kenny put her suggestion on to the board. :) Everything seemed unfruitful until about 8.40 pm, Melvin, who was sitting there quietly, gave a suggestion.
This was how 'quiet' Mel was.
Melvin: How about The Appointed?
Everybody look at Melvin in awe...
Kenny: Okay. That sounds good.
We then decided to expand his idea. Out of nowhere, Mr Smart-Pants Kenny, came up with another suggestion: The Appointment.
As u guessed, we had a debate over the theme. A heated argument broke out. It was a debate between The Appointed: The Appointment. We decided to opt for a vote. You know how it goes, majority wins. Out of 14 people, two persons (Kenny and Kyleen) chose The Appointment. However, not willing to accept the result... Kenny demanded an explanation for the reason why majority chose The Appointed.
Andy and Kenny having a 'heated, but friendly debate!' they'll make good lawyers.
The Committee getting frustrated with Kenny.
Kenny, deeply upset, began 'shooting' the fellow committes who didnt see eye to eye with him. (he in his pretence world).
This triggered Ryan, and he started acting weirdly. (Sorry, i can't explain how weird is weird, maybe a video might help)
Sometimes, some things just doesnt matter. Grace, Michelle and Kyleen..obviously in the world of their own. ( in other words, not paying attention!!!)
In the end, Kenny GAVE UP! haha.
Daniel clearly annoyed with the camera.(tension in the air)
After twisting and turning everything around, we decided on The Appointed. :) Thats our theme for this year. It's FINAL. for now.
Next on the agenda was the camp venue. Kenny revealed the details of venue which was under consideration...somewhere in PD. He stated that a team of three, Cmd Gideon, Michelle and himself will be leaving for PD at 6am on the 30th July to examine that place. (6am!! can u believe that?!)
Meeting was adjourned at 9.05pm with a short prayer by Andy Gan.
Then it was dinner at a hawker centre. (we were very very very hungry by then)
Waiting... impatiently for food to arrive.
