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!!

Thats about it. Have a great week.

-The Insider-

U know what i heard...

U know what i heard...

Kenny's wont be around for whole weekend. wakaka.. and the Committee says.. Yeay! Apparently, he elected Michelle to take over his duties. (duh! who else ler? deputy!) Anyway, where was i?

Back to the topic.. the management of The Venue (btw lets call Ayer Keruh D'Village..The Venue, dont u think that sounds cooler?) was supposed to fax their quotation to the church office. So i guess, the venue is like 100% finalised.

Oh yeah, another leak out. Apparently, there'll be some promotion going this concurrent Sunday. Im not sure what it is. Maybe a skit. Maybe some posters.... I overheard Alison's conversation with Julien today. Something funny, i think. Last week's poster was good. Oh well, we'll find out what the Committe has in store on Sunday itself.

My feelings now: Its tiring being in the Committee. (im not complaining!)

The Venue

There was another forum today. This time, i could definately see some progress. To be honest, i was quite worried.. because for the past weeks, we didnt seem to be making any progress. (at least, that was what i thought to be) The venue of the camp was finally decided.

So folks, Im proud to announce the venue for Youth Camp 2005 (actually, i dont know whether im suppose to announce it or not) oh well. Lets pretend that you didnt find out from here. :) Its Ayer Keruh D'Village, Malacca. Don't frown now. Its a pretty nice place. It has a FANTASTIC hall. The best among the other places the committee checked out. This picture will do the trick... (just one picture for now)

Ok, i guess i side track a little...
Back to the forum..

Besides the venue, we also discussed the budgeting and funds. :) And promotion.

Everyone, putting on their thinking cap...

Kenny addressing important issues...

This is how they look, when working under pressure. Blur.

Nobody seemed to be paying attention to the camera.

Last but not least... the highlight of the meeting was this:

Check him out!!! :) Just look at the biceps and triceps... hehe. For those who dont know who he is, he is our COOL YOUTH PASTOR...Cmdr Gideon Lee!!!! *applause pls* A cool youth pastor could only mean one thing... a COOL YOUTH GROUP!!!!!!!! YeeHhha!! *another applause pls* Thats Youth Alive! Btw, the picture credit goes to Alison! *final time, applause please* wakakaka.

Okies. Since this is a leakout column.. hehe... this was Cmdr Gideon's reaction when he saw it...

There he was..talking bout something.. something... When Kenny took that picture out.... Immediately, Cmdr Gid paused. hehe. He went 'WOW' ... as he placed both hands on his head. One word to describe him.. "SUPER SHOCKED"... hehehe. I mean, how often does that happen? That was it. Go tease him bout it. :) Again, lets pretend you didnt find out from here.

Meeting adjourned about lunch time. hehe. Kenny will have to call the D'Village people to confirm the booking. Thats about it. Stay tune for more updates.

Brainstorming...

We had a Brainstorming session today. The purpose of this forum (btw, we call our meeting forum) was to discuss the theme and venue of Youth Camp 2005.

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.
