OCF retreat 2008

we arrived at sunbury court on friday night...
and that's when the stress started (no i'm not kidding.) haha. cos i was backup for hannah who was worship leading... and i had to set up the sound stuff and projection stuff and all... while people were milling around waiting for things to begin =P. a good start to the camp though... cos i really didn't want worship to end once it began... Daddy was there =).
then there was some admin stuff.. some icebreakers and intro to the speaker... and we were done for the night - except that we ate supper, didn't go to sleep and played kempt... and the ninja game (check out the vids!)
the survivors




saturday... was a Beautiful Day

again though... as worship I/C... and one of the head cooks i was chionging around. but it was really blessed... cos it was a chill-chiong... if that makes any sense. i wasn't worried about stuff, just did everything (and there was A LOT of stuff to do). worship prac and projection in the morning, then went off to prepare lunch for 2 hrs... (really paiseh that the two groups helping had to miss the session)... then it was lunch and serving lunch... and doing random things on the field haha... then it was more worship stuff for the afternoon session, then when people went to play games it was prac for the night session... and then when everything was over it was prac for the sunday session! lol. by the end of sat i got to do some crazyy things... like at 3am in the morning lol. extended worship, some sharing... and well.. bob. hehe

i say my cartwheels are the prettiest! lol but based on the competition i'm the slowest lah.

albert my saviour! haha who helped drag huge baking trays out of the oven for me and who could actually tell when things were cooked so i could go settle worship stuff yuchian the other backup singer for eugene... yay 3 part harmony =) take #01: bob the big taboo guy forgets his lyrics

take #05: bob the big taboo guy doing an impersonation of kermit the frog



sunday... chill day, kinda. once the session was over it was just clean-up... and taking photos... and more random things... talking to the speakers (so cool lah... to be 80 and sharp!) and having to pack up the ton of electronics i brought to retreat for the projection stuff. heh.

what did i take away from it? a lot i guess.. in the way of serving out of rest. the speaker was really good i must say... though i didn't quite agree with some of what he said - all in all well fed *mmm*

...

that said... i had the most shitty day today -.-"
woke up early to condemnation for some reason (perhaps cos i intended to do work even earlier but didn't??) and it was to the extent that destructive thoughts were swimming around my head... horrible. i think i might have succumbed at some point if i had gotten up =S

therefore.
i went back to sleep...
and skipped all my classes today...

and woke up to a different kind of condemnation... cos it was by choice that i skipped lessons... and it wasn't even to do work... therefore i could hardly bring myself to do any work... though i really needed to.

wahlao... talk about a lousy day...and gosh the power of guilt =S but now reaching the end of the day... i'm back to chill mode... not really caring about work (after 1 prayer, 1 hr of talking to Daddy, some cui guitar playing & worship)

guard my heart... indeed.
from never forgetting that Daddy's the one in control... who prospers my studies... and it's not about what i do or don't do.
