Sunway Ipoh Boot Camp

camp is finally over !!! the thing which has been taking up so much of my free time.. it has finally come to an end.. that's simply because i was in the organising team and i never liked being in the organising team since high school.. it's not easy to keep participants occupied and entertained, afraid they won't enjoy, afraid they would feel bored.. but all in all, i think the camp was good overall though there were faults here and there..

we walked so much throughout the 2 days and 1 night camp.. it takes 10 minutes to walk from our campsite to the entrance and i lost count of how many times we walked in and out.. and i didn't bathe at all throughout the camp.. hehe.. was simply too lazy and didn't see the need to bathe.. i'll get dirty again after bathing anyway.. when it comes to camping, i don't care much about hygiene.. it's only 1 night afterall..

throughout the camp, i really learned a lot and i realised that i'm no longer the same me as i was back in high school.. i wasn't so worried about the camp before it started and that was what made me worry - worried for not feeling worried.. i prayed so hard that it won't rain during the camp but it rained heavily.. that didn't mean God didn't answer my prayer, He just said no.. it was good in a way that the rain took up most of our free time during camp.. and there were people who tried so hard pushing me to my limits trying to earn their significance or for whatever reason i don't know.. what made me realise that i'm longer like before was the ability to keep reminding myself that it really didn't matter at all for i am already significant enough being called child of God.. it really doesn't matter what people think of me.. i wish everyone would just realise that nothing matters more than being His child..

and then there were people who weren't really participative.. i guess i was supposed to get angry at them cause everyone else was, but you know what? i wasn't angry at all... i didn't have high expectation towards them in the first place and i'm glad enough they came for the camp despite how much problems they gave.. back in high school, i would have scolded and punished them.. i just didn't wanna get angry during the camp.. i managed to held back all the anger that i had..

i'm not trying to make myself sound like an angel here but i believe, God has really changed me over the years and i give all the glory back to Him for being able to held back anger and reject satan's lies that i'm not important.. people often talk about how God change them, i always wonder - how has He changed me then? and i now realised.. He gave me so many reasons to overcome the bad feelings i had.. gosh..God is simply amazing !!

oh yes, i only slept for 2 hours during the camp.. i fell asleep watching tv when i came back for another 2 hours.. woke up and slept again for 9 hours.. i wonder if it's enough.. this camp was really a great experience.. it's like a once in a lifetime experience.. i love outdoor camps but i'm not sure if i'll be joining another one like that again anytime soon.. and i'm glad it's over.. it's really time to start catching up with my studies..

sorry, i tried to keep this short but my fingers wouldn't listen =p no pictures yet.. i know my blog is picture deficit.. will try to work on that.. till then...!

p/s. thank you fellow campers for all your support and participation!!! (if anyone of you would read this)

p/s/s. the after effect of camp - i can't walk properly now.. i always believe that fun comes with aches and tiredness =)
