10 Days of Sheer Enjoyment?

Wow! What can i say, i have survived ten days of madness and fun and that would not be possible with God i personally feel. Shall i begin the summaries?

ULTBC (Unit Leader Training Basic Course) 2006 1st Intake
Banderlog patrol with Hamidah, Fong Yee, Naz, Chong Woon, Si Jie, Mike and I roughing out with other camp participants in Sarimbun Campsite. I guess it was because of the other International Scouts from the Course for Assitant Leader Trainer, we were given special treatment lol. I guess the main highlights of the camp would be the meals, camp development, outdoor cooking, campfire and ballista. As most of the skills are learned during my scouting years, i took the camp as a refresher course. Outdoor cooking was great because we monkeys did a well cooked chicken. ^_^ Campfire was always an important scouting activity for me as i personally feel that it is through such campfires do socialising take place. This is with accordance to Scout Law 3. Ballista was something new for me as i have never really created a propper ballista before. It was fun and entertaining with 3 big teams flinging water bombs as far as they could. My overall experience was great!!!

PLTC (Patrol Leaders Training Camp) 2006
My presence there was to ensure standards were kept and that those assisting the camp abide to the Scouting standards. It was a long time since i actually implement my methods of training Scouts for urgency. Other then that, PLTC brought back some vivid memories of my past.
This was a camp i did not fully participate as i was not there to see it to the end due to my other priorities and commitments.

Sec Two PLTC Participants

Camp Jeremiah by CAYC
We came from the diocese of Singapore as strangers with seventeen of us, (eleven boys and six girls) to interact with Acts 29. It was a camp of socialising among ourselves and to our beloved Father in heaven. There was praise and worship ( Something i do not really like participating but i like singing), alot of heart felt sharing among ourselves, competitive games where we rough it out in captain's ball; a variation of dog & bone and Nat's game and mission work where we learned to interact with people who needed help in our society. In all this activities, we as camp jeremiah participants took up this activities with enthusiasm just like prophet jeremiah. There was alot of love going around with the gift of our Holy Spirit working within us. At the day of the youths workshop during the barberque night, we could not bare to leave one another. It was unlike other camps i have ever experience.

Oh before i forget, there was a celebration of the blessed sacrament by Father Fred and i was filled with great happiness and joy upon seeing Jesus. It was as though i had not seen him a long time as i did not went to church the week when i was attending ULTBC. Anyway, i was glad to had made friends with so many Christian leaders in Singapore. As what Jonathan Eu had said, "It was as though God only wanted 17 people to come together to this camp." This is all in God's plan huh. ^_^ The seventeen of us are: Kelynn, Gwendolyn, Yvonne, Sheila, Bebe, Cassandra, Gabriel, Ignatius, Joavan, Bradley, Joshua, Randall, Zachary, Mark, Jonathan, Marcus and I.

Confirmation 4 Retreat
It was a one day event for me as i was not able to assist through out the entire retreat because of the CAYC youth workshop. This group of soon to be confirmands gave me a deep impression that they are ready to receive the strength of the Holy Spirit to bare witness to the life of Christ. It can be seen very clearly through their attitudes. I was happy for them and at the same time reminiscence my Baptism and Confirmation journey.
During the 6pm mass, i was touched by the Holy Spirit and my soul was yearning for the Eucharist. It was never brought to this situation before except on the day of my baptism. Lord Jesus Loves all of us!! ^_^
