"Lost" camp.

“Lost” is not just a camp. It’s a camp where god embraces us with his words.”


It will be a long long post....

On 28th of May, I have mixed feelings on going to the “Lost” camp. So do Rachel. First thing, I feel so alienated. The atmosphere was different with the school camp which I joined previously. I am exposed to different people. Strangers we named them. Firstly, I wasn’t feeling good as I am not in the same group with Rachel and Jefferd. Well, I did neglect to join at the time but lastly, I changed my decision. I am looked forward to this camp. Just put your lens on the positive sides! This was what I told to myself.

Get into the van. Engine started and there were no turning backs! I reached the Sepilok Jungle resort. Entered the hall and it was odd. Seems like me, Rachel and Jefferd were not mixing the group behind us. Even worst when I found that I am living in the room who I am again, alienated. I looked at the list. Who are they?!

Same thing happens when I am in the U.K group. Shuk Hang, Zhao Fung , Fiona, Clement, Li Shuan , David were fresh to me. Jacqueline and Tan Boon Kiat were the only people I know. Yes, god knows and god is always there to tie knot among us. In a flash, I get closed with them when we’re thinking of the shout out and flag. Love em. They are sweet and really friendly.

Had our Orientation and Mini Olympic. Everyone worked their best. Night Falls, “Xwave and Message” filled the boring atmosphere. Message form Mr.Yong let me have a deep look in myself for being a materialistic person. Then, we sang along. I did try my best to sing. It’s my first time letting my voice out on worship/gospel songs.


On day 2, had our Devotion. I had my first embrace on the HOLY BIBLE.

Had group photo today. It’s fun! It’s like a big family.

Then we had “Upgrade Urself’ which were motivational workshops.

Yay, we are having our Theme Park today! It’s going to be wet! Cause it was raining. *Cheers with the angels*~ Same, we had our “Xwave and Message”.Everyone was busy with their performance for “ Chang Ho 1 Chang” tonight. I’m not performing as I had sore throat. Thrilled and amazed with their performance. Love em! Group from China ROX! Tonight, something different in my room. It was no longer boring and lonely. No more blues. Jesus opened our hearts. All of us chat. Roommates from other room came in and greet with me. More people in my friend list again! Victor,Brandon,Sylvester,Peow Yee,Kee Ken,Jimmy,ah fah,bin,nyiap,hien and more! Not to forget Loise!


Day 3 was an extravagance! After the devotion, had our “ Praise and Worship” and the last session of “Upgrade Yourself”. Next was, “ONE WAY!” Beforehand, we did grasp our brain cells thinking on the drama performance tonight for Talent’s Night. We came out with lotsa cool ideas. Thanks for Elbert for working on my drama play. Had lotsa practices and got better every time we practice. In “ONE WAY”, all of us were blindfolded and with a pair of hands and a heart to walk the path of god. Each members will have one hand on the rope and another one on our team members shoulder. Leader will lead the path for us. It was a toughest thing to do as we can’t see and there were tons of circumstances and problems facing. The unknown voices calling us and nasty flour, cooking oil, greasy ‘Kaya’, cow milk and water splashed over us. One motivational word came out on every one mouth.. Keep Holding On!. Keep holding on, cause you gonna make it through. This verse of lyrics came out in my mind……

Keep holding on
'cause you know we'll make it through,
we'll make it through
just stay strong
cause you know i'm here for you, i'm here for you
there’s nothing you can say, nothing you can do
there's no other way when it comes to the truth
so keep holding on
cause you know we'll make it through,
we'll make it through.

All of us know. It’s you. The rope we are holding.



Tonight, “Xwave” get all of us high! Jumping high, soaring our hands high above and singing out loud worshiping songs as not the thing to be missed. All of us were happy and overjoyed. When it came to the “Message” by Pastor Yong about life and death with the anticipation of the song “Change My Heart, Oh God”. Pastor’s every words were analyzed and lastly, tears bombarded out both. Heart and Eyes feel the touch and embrace of god. In my mind, the images of Jesus were flying. I’ve been lost for so long. Pastor asked us to closed our eyes and visualized on our past and on Jesus. Asking us to put our hands up if we felt blessed by Jesus. Deep, deep , deeper and lastly I gotta put away the feeling of embarrassment and I soared my hands up into the sky to accept Jesus in my live. Opening the sealed door in my heart to invite Jesus. Tonight, I am a Christian after the prayer is spelled. I am reborn tonight. All my past sins are forgiven. I’ll never know how much it cost, to see my sins upon the cross. Here I am to say that you’re my god.

30th May 2007 is the day!

Tonight, we had our drama show. It was successful. African Mun Bin ROX! Thanks for all the support for making this wonderful. Then, all of us keep chatting. Lotsa people came to me and congratulated me. Crystal said “Welcome to the big family!” Thanks to Kevin too for the conversations and Eyen for being supportive and a big big big thank to Pastor Yong for the meaningful message. God Bless you! Thanks to Fung Ling for spending time chatting with us till midnight.


On day 4.Devotion time again! This verse banged on my heart.

“When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside.He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun”

2 Corinthians 5:17


Last day in the camp was the teary moments when all of us sang “
朋友” with Pastor Yong. We hugged each other and giving big handshake for the farewell. Cameras’ flash never stops flashing as every one of us took lotsa pictures for memory. From this camp, I made a very minor comparison on every one look compare on the first day. Every one looks more mature and happy.Besides,I am so amazed with the passion of the squad team in spreading the message of god.


“Lost” is not just a camp. It’s a camp where god embraces us with his words.”
Lost” is not just a camp, It’s a camp which get us back on the track which god made for us
“Lost” is not just a camp,It’s a camp which gives hope on the new day”
“Lost” is not just a camp.It’s a spiritual camp!”


Today is a brand new day! I thank god for forgiving all my sins and I’ll try my best to keep my soul clean and getting rid of sins.
