3rd Training Camp

Okay okay. I know I haven't been updating lately but i've been really busy la. So dont scold me xD and I know 3rd training camp was long time ago but ive been waiting for pictures which i eventually got but i sort of damaged them ( dont ask me how!) xD

Hmm... 3rd Training camp was AWESOME!!!!!

Okay erm i cant really remember everything but I'll try my best- est xD

Hmm......

First Day

I went to Ben's house before going to church because i didnt have transport

Haha Ben's brother seriously likes to annoy him a lot. I mean a lot, a lot

Haha but Ben is very patient with him. lols

Hmm Daphney's mum picked us up because Ben didnt have transport either haha

We were sort of late when we reached church but on the upside, most of the work was done xD

Hmm bus trip to our camp site KEM BINA SEMANGAT was fun xD

I was sort of scared when we reached there because we had to show everything to Jude

Okay i say sort of scared but i mean REALLY scared

But it turned out okay i guess xD

Had a few praise and worship sessions

Cant really remember what happened la xD

Before We left For Camp

No reason to put this up but jus couldnt resist xD

Second Day

Hmm what happened ar??

I think we did Ice breakers again

Cant remember la

Owh! We had this session with Jude

He told us to go find a place anywhere in the camp site

He gave us 15 minutes to pray and talk with God and then write down the areas in your life you want God to touch

Hmm after that, Marc brought us to this shalley (not sure if its spelt like this, lols)

it was air conditioned and was so nice!

We were all wondering what we were doing there

Marc said we were there because he heard that some of us were having constipation problems and he was gonna let us use their nice clean toilets! LMAOBut we eventually found out that we were the for Affirmation

We had to take turns affirming each other

It was such an amazing experience

But we had to stop halfway because we were out of time

hmm after that we had inner healing

Jude had invited some people over, who we were supposed to talk to about our problems

They counciled us, gave us advise and prayed for us

Jude assured us that everything we talked about would be held in the strictest confidence so we had nothing to worry about
Well I finally got the courage to go and speak to one of them

The moment I started talking about my problem, I started crying

Most of you reading this would think, Zachary cries?!

Well if you knew me well enough, you'd know that I do cry sometimes for the right reasons

God Bless that man, I wish I had asked his name

He helped me so much

Im sure he wont ever read this but

Thank You

After inner healing we had mass which was pretty cool since it was in a hall

Then we had supper!

On the way to supper, Laura told Lizzie, Ben, Ash, Michelle, Angie and I that we were doing the "lullaby"

At first i didnt know what they were talking about

Haha turns out it was Dancing With The Lord!

The 6 of us were on stage leading

It was the awesomest thing ever!

It was so much fun!

But it was damn tiring, and the stage was damn hot, and i lost my voice after that!

We only sang 6 songs! And we felt like we were gonna die!

Dancing with th Lord during Rally is 30 songs!

Madness!

I thought after that we could all go back and bath and sleep but they started singing more songs!

Lala Pose xD

Third Day
Hmm we did Dramas
My Dramas went pretty well i guess

Jude gave a lot of helpfull feedback

Hmm owh there was this session by Jude

He asked us to go out again

We were supposed to pray and ask God to speak to us through his Word, The Bible

I was pretty scared as i was worried that He wasnt going to speak to me

But He did

I prayed really hard

Asked God to speak to me

I started flipping through pages of the Bible and stopped at this particullar page

I was going to read the whole page but I stopped at the verse

And i thanked Him for speaking to me

" Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you" - John 20 : 21

Some of you might think, so what? what so amazing about this?

Well it meant a lot to me

Cause lately I've been doubting my worthiness to be on the team

I thought I wasn't worthy enough to be reaching out to people and ministering to them

But this One Verse told me that I was chosen for a reason

Thanks Daddy

Drama Mama - Miss Evelyn Toh

Hmm after that we played some this awesome game!

which i cant tell you about because they are using it during the rally and that would spoil the suprise xD

But it was damn fun la

So if you want to experience it....

Come for the SIC Youth Rally!

Then in the night we put on clown make up just to get used to it

Haha damn fun la

Awesome People

Fourth Day

Everyone was tired as hell!

so praise and worship didnt go to well

Hmm after that we continued the Affirmation

Marc also affirmed us

Which was really cool

He said Ben and I reminded him of himself and Michael Harman

Dont know if thats a good thing xD

haha after that it was time to go home

But the buss was late

So some of us played volley ball while the rest lepak-ed and shared stories

all in all

CAMP WAS AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, SUPERB, AMAZING!

Adventure of a Life Time

It all started on the 8th of May
Around a week or something before, i received a letter in Church
The 8th of May, according to the letter was the first day of our first training camp
I almost didn't go for it....
But I thank God I did
23 other ppl were chosen to go
In camp, we were told the purpose we were there
They told us the journey was gonna be incredible
They told us it was gonna be difficult, hard
They told us we were now a team
They told us that our lives were gonna change
They were right....


Through the entire year, we worked, bonded, had fun and laughed together
We were scolded, told to buck up
We were taught and instructed on how to fulfil our purpose properly
Our teachers, mentors, or as we call them, graduates, Aunty Pat and Uncle Richard, are amazing
They sacrificed so much time, money and energy to guide us in our journey
And on behalf of the team, Thank You

We became close
Very close
Practically family
We had fun together, laughed together
We faced problems together
We got stressed together
We cried together
We were there for each other
And we still are


Who are these people you ask?
They are the SIC Youth Rally Outreach Team 09!
They are the most awesome people ever
I love you guys!
Every single one of you!
You are the bestest!
=D


But the journey isn't over
We still have a lot to do
And we are gonna do it together as a team
I love you guys!
Don't any of you ever doubt that you deserve to be on this team
You guys made this year the most memorable, awesome, amazing, superb year of my life

And it was all thanks to Him
It was all because of Him
We were, are and gonna doing everything in His name
All because of Him

Zero what??
09!

Stupid Ben xD

Yesterday....

Hmm.....
Took the bus to practice again today
When I was walking to church from the bus stop, i dont know why but i felt so happy
I was like singing "Everything Is Changed"
I guess it was that song because, this year, my life changed for the better
Owh... did i mention it was raining??
haha so i was like walking in the rain with an umbrella while singing xD
Even the guard at the church knew I felt happy
I guess it showed

Hmm... We practiced Ice breakers today
Went okay i guess
Before dinner, the closing team showed us their flow
It was a lot better than last time
Good job guys!

Oo Oo Oo!
We ate McDonalds today for dinner!
haha wonder why the graduates were suddenly nice enough to buy us McDonalds
thank you graduates! xD
Double Cheeseburger for the win man! xD

After dinner Ben and I went to the toilet
Then Ben made some lame joke about being so full he couldn't even bend over and tie his shoelaces and I left a bit then he started laughing and then i started laughing because he was laughing!
We ended up laughing till we couldn't breathe and until it hurt because we were full of McDonalds!
I keep laughing at everything he does eventhough it isn't really funny
I guess its the way he says it and acts
He is so lame la!
Haha and everyone expects me to not laugh when I'm acting with him!
Imagine acting with him and suddenly he does something lame which he wasnt suppose to do!
Wouldn't you start laughin?!
Okay maybe you won't but i definetely will
Then when i start laughing he starts laughing which makes us laugh more till we're on the ground coz we cant breathe!
This is what I go through at almost every practice
haha but its awesome la

Hmm.... our 3rd Training camp is in a few days
Pressure man!
And aunty pat wants to see the openings entire flow!
So scared man
Hope she likes it

The Reason

Yesterday....

Woke up at like 9 am. When to sleep at 2 am the day before. so sleepy....
actually woke up that early to do some work on the comp but my lifeless brother was already awake, using the comp.
So i lazed around the house and waited for dad to pick me up for practice.

When i reached church, it was around 2 o'clock. practice started at 3. 1 hour early.
so i decided to go into the prayer room and well... pray.
that was the first time i entered the prayer room with out being told by my grandmother or my mother. It felt weird but very nice at the same time. so i stayed there for around 20 minutes then i came out. I have a lot of things to pray about okay.

When i came out, Michael who just arrived, went in.
Then i found Michelle, Ash and Jeanne and we went to the mamak which is like the official eating place of the JYM. haha.
hmmm owh owh. we found a spider on the table. okay fine it wasnt on the table, it was on my hand and i put it on the table just to mess with the girls xD
michelle kept telling it to go away but it kept coming to her. haha.
but then jeanne said go to michelle and the spider turned and went to jeanne instead.
So through this observation, we came up with a hypothesis. lols. i think thats the first time i used that word except for in science. lmao.
well they came up with the conclusion that the spider only did the opposite they were telling it to do. and so they tested this conclusion and obviously did not work. lmao.
see the bunch of nutjobs i have for frens?? xD

so we went back after a while and then practice started after like 10 minutes.
The opening team planned out our logistics stuff and then tried the whole flow out with it.
worked out pretty well i guess.
And then after practicing so long the closing team came in and did their flow.
And they were awesome!!! okay maybe their flow a bit confusing and their still using scripts. but they seemed better than how the graduates rated them to us. and they were really funny and their scenes were really good.
The opening team was like omg they are better than us. sigh.

after dinner, marc sat us down and asked us about what we did today.
And dominic gan said that the closing team was better than us.
Then marc told us that we still didnt get it. that he failed in trying to make us understand.
We weren't doing this to be better then the rest. it wasn't for us to put on a good show.
The reason we were doing this was all for God. All for him. All for his glory and not ours.
It was all in his name.
I, personally, felt like an idiot. I had forgot the reason we were doing all of this.
sigh. after that we practiced some more.

Haha when we came back into the main room, after practice was over, the closing team had gone nuts!
they were all singing along to a song. so the opening team joined in xD

Show Me The Money

Yesterday...

School was same old same old.
Except for the fact that we were gambling xD


haha my class joined with 2T.
Vicknesh, Ashveenk, Tharvin and I started playing blackjack xD
haha. Tharvin lost a lot of money and i gained a lot.
But then Bridget and Vanesa came and everything changed.
I started losing money!!! T_T
Girls apparently are very lucky when it comes to gambling.
lols. But in the end i still profited.
Now Kar Chun owes me Rm5 and Tharvin owes me RM1.
Tee Hee! xD

Happiness, Fun, Laughter, Sadness, and Awesomeness all in One Day

Woah man. Lots of things happened today.

Had to get up at like 8 in the morning to go for practice *yawn* was so sleepy.
haha but practice was awesome!
haha me, ben and michelle couldnt stop laughing! guess it was because we were so tired.
All ben's fault la. he kept making stupid jokes.
Haha. He kept saying michelle had H1N1+2 x square root of 49.
Lmao. damn lame la. but it was still damn funny haha xD
Owh and we were messing around with the closing teams caps xD
And Ben started to rap. haha. he has a future as the next Eminem, man. Check it out :


Yo, my name is Benjamin,
Come on, come in,
You wanna play dota?
I sure win,
Coz my name is Benjamin,
Yea!
A-min.

Haha. or something like that la xD
Laugh until cannot breathe man!
Haha. Lizzie felt like slapping us coz we kept laughing and weren't paying attention xD
Then Michael Ho came and joined us. And we passed our H1N1 + 2 x square root of 49 to him xD
Haha. we started talking about stuff which i cant really post here xD
you 3 know what i mean =D
It was basicly like that the whole of practice. Non stop laughter :)
Awesomeness :D

Owh and then the Opening team and the Closing team decided to have a dance battle.
Haha. whatever dance that we had was shown to each other xD
Damn cool =D

After we ate lunch, we attended Dylan's grandfather's funeral.


My respects to Dylan's grandfather, Christopher Chew.
May You Rest in Peace. Body and Soul.
God Bless.

My Deepest condolences to Dylan and his family.
May The Lord be with you through this hard time.
God Bless you all.


The funeral was so sad. After the funeral, we all went back upstairs to practice.
Everyone was like so gloomy and no mood.
The funeral made me think of both my Grandfathers who passed away this year :( so sad la
Feel so sorry for Dylan.
Haiz. we all eventually got our energy and hyperness back after a while.
so we continued practising.
I was doing my Mc script with Ash. and the rest were doing other stuff. lols
well we almost managed to get it done but then Stephennie called me coz they wanted to practice a song for closing night which i was suppose to sing with Anne.
Do you know how well Anne can sing??!!! Her voice is amazing!!!
I was like so intimidated! lmao
Ash and I never really managed to finish our script. lols. but im sure we can do it la xD

After practice, some stayed back for registration duty.
Went to the mamak with Dominic and bungkused a milo ais xD then went back to church
Then when we got there Michelle, Ash and Odelia decided to go to the mamak. lols
so i followed them with my milo ais that i bungkused from there 5 minutes ago xD Mike Baldwin followed too
haha i bet the mamak dude was like wondering why i came back
so we sat down and talked about random stuff xD

went to visit Mama after Dad picked me up.
She can move more now and she can smile and nod her head and stuff.
But she looks so sad. Sigh.
Hope she gets better soon
