Hmm.. I wanted to blog about my Perth trip initially but I guess that post will be very long so I think I shall blog about my first poly/di camp first. I'd just came back from the camp. At first, I really didn't feel like going to this camp because I didn't see a need to go. I didnt want to move on. However, God did spoke to me a few times and deep in my heart I didn't mind going so I went in the end.
The camp was very different from Youth camp. After going to that camp, you'll really miss youth camp a lot. In fact, it seems like I've changed church or like I'm going for a mission trip.
These are the picture of the campsite which is called Camp Christine.
My first impression of this place was OH NO! I WANT TO GO HOME! haha. really. There is no stage in the hall. There is no individual room for us. In fact, all the girl lived together is one big room where there is double deck bed which the mattress looks dirty. It's not well furnished like kent ridge or sports school. There is a lot of ants, mosquitoes and some flying unknown insects. I even saw a toad. I really feel like crying at that moment and I cried out all these to God at the first worship. God told me to step out of my comfort zone and stop comparing. We are going for camp and not holiday. He also reminded me that if such places, I'm already complaining, how am I going to go plant church or go other churches for mission? Thank God that after that I feel much better...

Well, in fact, I enjoyed the camp. It's very different from youth camp. Normally, in youth camp,
I learnt things through the teachings. But for this camp, it not that I didn't learn anything in the teachings I did but not a lot. But what I really learnt are things that God speak to me personally through the worship and it's not quite relavant to the theme. I also enjoyed the fellowship here. I like my new group here too.

God, use me to impact and be impacted in this ministry. Use me even more in Tertiary. I want to grow and I want to be more christ-liked!
-
I'm looking forward to a new growth with God as he slowly revealed his purpose to me in this new ministry. I do not what will be coming in the future but I know He will be with me..always! (:

I'm in Perth now! haha. Anway, I've checked. My appeal to Temasek Poly is sucessful! I will be going to Aviation course. I will update more when I come back! Bye (:
I went to MJC for registration today. While the teacher was talking about the course in Universities, I suddenly wondered why I would end up in that place. I want to study about tourism!!! HOW?? JAE had end and Hospi, a very popular course definitely would not have any vacancies already. HOW?
I'm very stressed now! I don't know what I want. Should I just whack first and if I can't make it, I join poly next year? HOW?!!! Now, I worried about mission things. I havent got my luggage, havent change my money, havent prepare the gift, don't know what to wear for the costume party. OH HOW?!!
Anyway, I've chose my subjects which I want to take in MJ. For H2, I most probably would take Econs, Maths and Hist. H1, I would take China Studies in English. I know taking CSE is funny! but it's really interesting. You would get to learn about the cultural in modern China, the politics there, their relationships with other big country and the economics in China. It's cool la! Especially the part about the cultural and politics in China. I believe it will be useful when we go out and work. Other than this combi, I wont take any combi which means, if I didnt get this combi, I will change school. haha. Most probably, I will be in the same cass with my cousin. haha. So cool! haha.
Another thing is that there are only 90+ people in arts stream! It's so little! I believe there are some people from art stream will want to change stream. For me, I wont. I sure cannot take science. My practical is so bad la. haix..
25 hours later, i'll be taking plane! ahh!! Do pray for me okie? I want to kiasu! I want to take back valuable expericence back and I want to come back in one piece! haha!
rayna off to pack!

Yup! I will be going to MJC!
Hooray! I've done my quiet time! It was a refreshing one indeed. Perhaps it was my desire of wanting Him to speak.
Yup. Today's sermon was great! The things that Dennis shared was great too. Both are about spiritual hunger. However, the sermon was not only just about the spritual hunger that we should have, it was also about giving God our very best! Indeed, I had to confess that I don't really give God my very best. Perhaps, I did at the beginning but soon later, it faded. I had forgotten that God's my ultimate giving. One example that Sister Shirley had shared has really strucked me. The example is something like that. A friend wanted to treat his best friend a meal. When the friend wanted to get a fries from his best friend, the best friend forbid him to do so. Well, as Shirley shared, in my mind, I was thinking, "Wah! If I'm the friend, I will be super angry! And it will be pretty dumb to do what the best friend did!"
Indeed, in life, I am as dumb as the best friend! When God gives me something, I dont always really give it back to the Lord! I kept thinking that it's mine and forget that all this belongs to him. HAHA! Dumb of me isn't it? Oh yar! One of Dennis' teaching point is "can't get enough". With today's sermon plus what Dennis shared, I want to always say "not enough of God's presence" rather than "not enough money!" haha.
By the way, I realised Edwin from dunman is going perth too. He will be going on the 12 March while we will go on the 9March. Maybe we'll see him there! haha. If so, the world is soooo small! Aileen will be there too. I heard from Edwin that she had migrated there. Maybe we will see her too???? Hope so bah! haha.
I am excite for the Mission trip! One objective I have set is to "Encourage and Be encouraged!" I wants to be able to encourage the people at the same time, encouraged by them. Also, I was thinking what kind of attitude I wants to bring there. They are such as, hunger for God, child-like faith, a humility heart to learn and an open heart that wants to change! I am going to spent more than $1000 in this mission and I want to make sure I get the worth back! $1000 for a life transformation is definitely worth it! I want life transformation! I want to be kiasu! $1000 for it is super cheap. If never get it, I wil lose out. This cannot happen!!! Haha!
ALL OUT FOR GOD"S KINGDOM! thirsty4more~
