HRC Youth Ministry

It's been awhile since the camp now, and I can hardly remember much of it. I shall attempt to put together the bits and pieces of whatever that's left of my memory.

I do remember John Sek trying to dive into the ocean though.



Benedict nearly scared off a couple of young girls who were swimming there by trying to go skinny dipping.



Thank goodness I managed to stop him in time. We wouldn't want the kids to emerge from the water with horrified looking face now, do we?

We managed to catch this black looking thing, which I think it is a sea cucumber, if I am not mistaken.



To my amazement, the kids didn't know that it could squirt a white juice that looks like the guy's
...erm, you know. It looks really cool, not to mention funny as hell. You can get the video from the disc which we should be passing around sometime soon.



Lunch was just stupendously delicious. Got sambal ketam, sambal udang, vegetables, meat, soup,chicken, sotong...what nonsense also got. I usually don't even eat this kind of food in restaurants. And here I am eating luxury food for each consecutive meal! Praise the Lord!
And praise Brother Andrew for the food!



The funny thing is that we actually get to feed the wild hornbills there. Pardon me for my shallow knowledge but I thought hornbills were only found in Sabah, Sarawak and..the Internet?
Apparently I was wrong.



We had some group activities after lunch which does not ONLY include talking, but also sophisticated and complex stuff such as cutting out articles from newspapers and magazines to be pasted on manila card.



The theme for the discussion was "Sign of the Times', where we were suppose to look for pictures that depicts how the world was slowly experiencing a morale decay and etc.
After sticking all those pictures on the manila cardboard, we were expected to present it out in front of everybody.

Woops, I guess I didn't see THAT coming when I decided to choose some explicit pictures for my group's cardboard.



But still, I can't help it but stare with amazement at my group's effort. Simple yet carrying a powerful message. *cough* 
Hey, who put that picture of that girl there???



After that we had team building exercise at the beach! It's really simple actually. All you have to do is hold the hands of the person next to you while a hula hoop is passed throw from one end to the other. It's so simple, even my grandmother would know how to play it.

And yet we still have cases of a few people who keep getting mixed up and don't know which way the hoop goes. Maklumlah, Malaysia boleh ma.

There was this game we played which involves standing on plastic chairs. Half the team had to stand on the chairs while getting themselves over to the finish line.



It looks pretty easy, but in fact its not! It's super easy to lose your balance and fall down like humpty dumpty. But Charles didn't believed it.



And speaking of humpty dumpty, here we have Mr. Charles Teh lying flat on his back. Jonathan couldn't resist throwing sand onto him..well, I suppose that's what you get for lying flat on the beach. Haha :P



Amidst the chaos and confusion, the dogs decided that they should have some butt-action fun too. Whoever said that Fun for Christ 4.0 was for humans only?



Tada! Our most remarkable feat! Building uh, a sandcastle...with only our hands as tools! We can't possibly get anymore childish than this, can we?



Aunty Susan was nowhere to be seen while we were at the beach. No wonder lah, she was in her room conducting some side business.



What business you ask? Selling dried shrimps and keropok! Yeah and if you didn't know, Pangkor is famous for its fresh-from-the-oven keropok and stuff. Not bad ok, business was pouring in like the tsunami in Perlis. Or was it Penang ar?

We had more sessions after that. Our speaker, Brother Gasper from Monfort Boys wasn't really suitable for our group, perhaps due to the fact that we are a bunch of energetic chums who can hardly sit still.



Oliver sat right in front. Perhaps not the best place to be if you're planning to doze off. And I think that's what he did.
Who said that the most safest place was being in the most dangerous place?? Well, I guess that fella may be right. Oliver didn't get caught, at least.



Daniel Ho seems to be in deep meditation. Is it just me or do you see a drip of saliva from the edge of his mouth? Tee hee.

During the night, we had Washing of the Feet™ where we were suppose to wash our partner's feet to remind us of how Jesus washed his disciples' feets and to show his humility.



I probably enjoyed this session the most. As I thought that the video that was played was really touching. Nearly cried lah, but need to show abit of macho-ness. So what to do...tahan lor.

And finally we had group photo!



But damn! Due to the blazing sun and miscommunication, the group photo on my camera turned out to be a fluke. As you can see, most of the people were trying to cover their eyes from the sun and some didn't even look at the camera.

And yes, I am one of them. Try and spot me if you can.



And finally, that concludes the Fun For Christ 4.0 2007! Thank you for reading!
