Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Ephraim, Yi Qin, Qin-Qin, Ben-ben. That's ME! God have given me an interesting personality. I'm a sanguine, in another word, an extrovert. I love to be around people. Some people accused that i'm lame. Well, i do find myself guilty, sometimes. Of course, at times, you will find me in very deep thoughts. I'm created to be thinker too.
Sometimes i think too much and can be rather emotions-driven. Curious about my love life? Well, the love of my life is God! I love gorry, bloody and gruesome movies and thrillers, such as SAW 1,2,3 ; Mindhunter; When a stranger calls etc. Jazz musics are pleasing to my ears. Buildiing a strong and biblical guys group to win the world is my vision!

East training camp!
-11:44 PM
The day started with everyone meeting 8am at Changi Ferry Terminal. Punctuality was one of the highlighted rule. Thank god for those who are early! haha. =) While waiting for Dennis to come, the gals did the typical 'galz-stuffs'....
like... spraying insects repellent....
and spraying SUNTAN LOTION!!!! haha.
Dennis finally arrived and we carry on with the 1st activity: carrying sand+stone burden!
on the way to palau ubin- 3 hunks on the boat! HEEHEE! =p
Arriving at Palau Ubin, dennis brief everyone on the whole day activity. According to dennis, it will be tough man. And....it was!
There were a total of 5 teams, each containing 5 people. There were also 5 stations 'governed' by 5 different ULs- joy, me, bing, yanyu and dennis. Everyone are supposed to travel from one station to the other station on foot, with each group having the heavy load of sand+stone, and each person pushing a bicycle. Yes. No one is to sit on the bicycle. haha! So, from 1030am to 345pm, it was all about walking from stations to stations to win the challenges! 4 hours+ of walking! haha!
While the people are walking, i was sitting at the hut, waiting for people to come. Wait a min. You think it was easy?! MAN!!!! try reading a book with mosquitoes keep kissing you!!! ARRGHH!!!!
My station is to test people's memory wahaha! But it was not that tough overall!.
they are supposed to memorize the number combination and step on the according paper, in order for them to get from the starting point to the ending point! yea!
showing the number combination to amanda.
Angel's team! (from left to right: cher, siew ling, angel, esther, ying jie)
I was having my lunch with the guys who happen to be at my station, when suddenly, this bunch of crazy gals came and 'entertain' us! see for yourself...
no idea what they are doing? haha. they are trying to complete dennis' station! He gave them several dares to complete. And one of them is to catch a LIVE spider! it's HUGE and colourful!!!!! i really admire their spirit and their courage man! esp ah-be!!1 haha. When they came over, we thought of telling them about the big spider to scare them. But we didnt realised catching a spider was their dare! And after showing them the freaking BIG spider, we were all expecting them to scream and run off, to find a smaller spider to catch. but guess wat?! They were SO excited about it and literally went all the way to catch that giant spider despite the size and poisonous look of it! For ur info, they really caught it in the end!!! I salute you galz! =)
After completing all the station games, we all gathered back at Mamam for the Ultimate Challenge! Dennis have hidden all the 'money' he collected in the beginning under the sand. Our mission: to find the money-all there will be NO dinner!!! WAH! everyone was so shocked haha. But finally realised that it was just post card after an 1 hour search! haha. Anyway, before the Challenge begin....
some were resting and talking. while some were... ... ... ...
eating chicken rice!!!!!! WAHAHAHA!!!!! (up-down: geck ting and joy-joy--look at joy's face! haha)
Of course, there were some who were very hardworking! aiya, i dun wanna say who la. i'll shy! =)
After one whole day of walking and searching, it's my fav time! .... FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha!!!! (but... i'm fasting from meat! sob. cant enjoy some of the good food! =( ...nvm, i mus rejoice!!! )
Finally, we are back to spore!!! During debriefing, dennis taught us certain essential principles like really seeing the value in doing what we are doing now! Truth is that sometimes, what we do or believe dun seems very logical to the people outside. Like pushing a bicycle w/o riding it; finding for our money in sand for an hour. We do all these becos we saw the value of doing so!
we also announce the overall champion as well! They are Jing jing group! yeah!!! WOAH!!! joyce was so excited becos, according to her, she never won competition before! hahah!So funny lor!!! (left-right: joyce, florence, jing jing, amanda, yu shan, sally)
Though it was really tiring, it was very fruitful and purposeful! Instead of just having teachings, what we passed down and let them experienced was not just knowledge, but spirit! Believe it must have impacted and speak to many out there!
