warning: super long post! heylo! I just got back from the most indulgent afternoon ever. I woke up at 12pm, changed and stuff, went out for lunch at 1pm, at dempsey hill, this super classy place with nice food and all. We ate at harry's, and i had two mocktails, a shirley temple and a pussyfoot. Nice man. Then we drove to novena ville, so we could have our kampong fish therapy, where you submerge your body(or body parts) in to a tub full of warm water and hundreds of small kampong fish. And you guessed it, the fish would then swarm your skin, nibbling off your dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and rejuvenated! :) Warning though. Extremely ticklish(lyn and i couldnt stop squirming and screaming) and expensive. Its like 30, 40 bucks per person for half an hour. :S Next up, united square for a body and foot massage at Wanying. 40 bucks for the foot massage, lasting 40 minutes and 36 bucks for the body massage, lasting 20 minutes. So all in all, we spent an hour there, getting pressed and rubbed and massaged. Its a bit painful but very very shiok. Its amazing the things they can do with their hands. Anyway, this post shld be about what its title suggests, ym camp and the christmas party, so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ym camp 2007, for me, was an awesome experience. The sermons and worships touched me and impacted me so much, i was often reduced to tears, as tzeyong and lyn would probably know. Pastor How preached about living your life not for yourself but for others, and also becoming a not only righteous christian, but a holy one as well. I made a strong conviction to live my life for god, to live him in my everyday life and actions. Its difficult i know, but i'm going to give it my best shot, because he deserves all that i am. Jesus Christ, a sinless man, died on the cross for us, a couple of sinful men. He sacrificed so much and went through so much pain, for people as undeserving as us. Think about it, would you do it? Let yourself be charged and despised for things you never did, and then sent to experience flesh tearing pain, to have nails hammered into your swollen hands and barbed wire jammed onto your bloody head and to be hung on a wooden cross for all to laugh and ridicule at? No. Which is why, i believe we all really owe alot to God, to repay him for all he's done for us, and to reach out to others, to let them know of God's great power and might. Personally, thats alot for me, because being in a non christian school, people around me come from all sorts of backgrounds and families, and i'm also pretty self consious, and i'm afraid they think i'm some sort of holy freak who goes everywhere preaching. Thats stupid, so i pray that one day, soon, i'll overcome that and set out to do what God has destined for me to do. Also, i would like to thank god for touching so many of my friends at this camp, esp tzeyong, this being his first camp and all, i really saw him being touched and experiencing god for the first time. And i can safely say, that that experience is life changing. After you feel god, you never forget it, and it spurs you on to want to be a better person, a person truly walking the path of christ. I pray that all of us in this cell group, would one day be able to feel god the way many of us have. Well, ym camp was as usual, really awesome, but god, my father, you're even awesome-er. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Christmas partyyyy yesterdayyyy was really greattttt. I love you guys alot, and i'm waiting for the photos to surface, so i can 'kope' them all and save the wonderful memories in my mind permanently. Here are little messages for all of you guys. Lyn: my dearest sister, having you around is truly wonderful, and i love the way you are crazy and bimbotic("I cant get sunburnt!"), because that reminds me that i'm not the only crazy bala. :) Yas: heyy cell leader! thank you for leading us to become such a bonded, close cell group under your great leadership, as well as teaching us about god, for us to know and love him so much more. Shaocai: I know you've been busy studying the past year, but just know that you're never forgotten, and we're all waiting, until you come back to lead our group with yas. Tzeyong: heylo best friend, thank you for your concern yesterday, after i got that depressing phone call, and i promise i told you everything there is to it, so dont worry. :) i like your house and pool, since i finally got to see it, after dunno how long. Nick(y): You are one emotional guy, esp when it comes to your girlfriend, who "means the world to you". i really got to know you better yesterday, whats with the 'talks' and stuff. :) i hope you know who's carolyn and who's lynette by now. Nat: hello you toughie. you're the only one who willingly goes chasing after the guys to smack their guts out. but sometimes they deserve it, so go GO nat, defend the girls! and forget the lousy shawn. like, seriously, you deserve better, because you rock. Jess: thanks for being the sensible one, and telling me all that stuff which i simply didnt notice before. i never really knew you before, but now that i know you better, you're really great! :) Lonhau: Skinny monkey! i am still laughing at you, mgs boy. :) you are the life of the party, with your jokes(which are not funny), retardism and outer space-ism. Sarah: heyyyy! i'm glad you came to camp and the party, because i got to know you better, beyond the quiet girl you normally are in church. you're actually quite fun and adventurous, which is mighty cool can. :) Dom: hello half a man! i believe you wont stay child-like all your life, so dont worry, very soon your mom would be telling you that you're a full man! Lihao: you're more of a quiet one in the cell group compared to the rest, but thats okay, because you're still an impt part of the cell group, the normal one amongst the crazy. everyone: i love you guys alot, and thank you for being such a great part of my life. i look forward to us being together for years to come! :)
love and XOs, carolynn
