Christmas Service @ Singapore Indoor Stadium

Yesterday , we had a Christmas Service at Singapore Indoor Stadium. For Praise and Worship we sang Christmas Songs and some worship songs then Pastor Prince came up to preach. After the service , we went to Jack's Place to eat lunch with Abigail , Charity and Grace's families.After that Charity went to buy her spectacles.By that time it was already 6.30 pm and Abigail's family went home already.After that, the rest of us went to Charity's house to play( computer and PlayStation). We then ate dinner and then continue playing . On the PlayStation , we played SXX3 , car racing and SpongeBobSquarePants. We played while the adults talked.We left at 11 .30pm so late lah.But it was really fun.=) Can't wait for 2moro.
Oh ya!
Merry Chritmas!

Standered Chartered Kids Dash 2007

Yesterday , Grace , Rachel , Dawne , my sister , Dawne's cousin and I went for the Standered Chartered 750 meters Kids Dash . It was not a competition but still Dawne and I tested our limits and we came in top 30 -100 position. But the winner does not get any prize becos everyone who completes the race gets a finishing medal. It was quite fun but the sad thing was we could not try the games becos we had to meet our Daddies who went for the 10 km run at Marina Food Court so we did not have time to play the games . Another sad thing was I could not go to church becos of the run.Boo Wah!='(
Gotta go now .bye!

DARE Encounter Jesus 3 Camp

EJ Camp was on 27 November - 1 December 2007


Day 1
We reached Suntec City Level 6 at 7.45 a.m. to take the coach to Marriott Hotel IOI Putrajaya. Once my bus (Bus 2) was ready we set off at 10 am. We stopped for lunch at a Chinese restaurant . The food was nice and within 10 secs nearly each dish was empty( we were that hungry cos it was like about 2.15pm.)My bus arrived at the hotel at about 4.30pm. My bus was one of the latest bus becos some buses reached there at 2-3 pm.So both of my room mates already arrived .So they already jumped on the bed . Boo Wah=(! So we checked in and had half an hour to relax. My roommates are Rachel Shelia Zavior and Charity and we had the room to ourselves.The best thing about our room is that we don't hav a balcony but we have to climb out of the window and then there will be another short wall to prevent us from falling .It was very fun but dangerous.After that we went down to the ballroom for camp briefing at 5.30pm. Then we had dinner and went up to our rooms to take our bible , stationery , notebook ,etc.Then we went to the ballroom for the camp opening and an awesome time of service.We(DARE) were the first Singaporeans to sing the latest Hillsong song.The service ended at 11 pm and the curfew was at 12pm.So on the way up, the lift lobby was jammed up becos all 500 of us DARE youths had to go back to our rooms.So when we reached our rooms , Rachel , Charity and I(RCI) ate some cookies for our supper , bathe and then talked silently cos we pasted the curfew already and then went to sleep at about 12 .30am.

Day 2
We woke up at 6.10 am becos it was freezing even though the temperature was only 21 degrees . So we climbed out to our "balcony" to get some heat and then went to wash up . We had our breakfast then went back to our room to get our bibles for the Men's & Women's Meeting.Some girls from my DG (DNA) were sleeping during the Women's Meeting .
After that we ate lunch and went to play Mighty Men Games. We had to play 15 stations of games within a time limit.But my group did not manage to finish all the games but the games were really fun. There were some dirty games like blind-folding us and then we had to cross many obstacles like climbing onto a table and crawling under another table and stepping on Colgate toothpaste with our bare feet in a dark room ( but it was very fun =D).So after the Mighty Mens Games we washed up , ate dinner and went for a wonderful time of praise and worship.This time we ended at 11.45pm thus the curfew was at 12.32am.So after the service, my DG (DNA) gather to pray for Phoebe as she was sick and then we went back to our rooms. RCI went to eat some of the Ovaltine biscuits Charity brought and then went to sleep.

Day 3
We woke up and then went to eat breakfast as a DG and then all the ppl went to the ballroom.After that we split up for Level Time Out.So we Level 1 D.C. stayed at the ballroom while the rest of the levels went to other smaller ballrooms. So first we started to play some pre-service games. Teacher Johnny and Teacher Dora were the MC s and after that we had a dynamic time of praise and worship and after that Coach Elizabeth ( our level head )told us her testimony after she joined DARE about 15 years ago. Then Pastor Daniel told us some background about some Dare leaders such as Teacher Kevin(little Kev) and Teacher James and he also told us that we are very blessed to go to DARE . After that he showed us an illustration of a non-believer which has no roots becos he had not accepted Christ yet could be blown of by the wind but when a boy who is a believer with will have many strong roots which are also very deep becos of God's love could stand strong and would not be blown away be the wind no matter how hard the wind(devil) tries to up lift its roots.After that we ate lunch and then everybody gathered in the ballroom for the start of High School Saga(game).We were suppose to help Inspector KK Loone to solve the death of a girl called Candice with some evidence stations and questioning stations.After the game , we ate dinner and then went back to our rooms to get our bibles for the service. During the service we had an awesome time of praise and worship and then after the preaching, we were anointed with oil. Many ppl cried and some of them fell. The presence was so great.After everything we went back to our rooms bathe and then went to sleep.Zzzzz.....



Day 4
After eating breakfast , we gather in the ballroom,but this time b4 we go to another ballroom for the Men's & Women's Meeting Pastor Dan(Daniel) wanted us to gather together for a full band Praise and Worship session instead of one where the girls and guys have separate Praise and Worship session only with a few instruments thus it was not as dynamic.Then after that we split for the Men's & Women's Meeting . Then we ate our lunch and had a DG time out. My DG(DNA) had to change into our swimming suits becos our DGL (Teacher Johnny) allowed us to swim. We played for a while and then our DGL talked to us for a while then we went back to our rooms . But I got locked out of my room cos Charity and Rachel were from different DGs and they had the lift cards so I had to wait for them to come back cos different DGs were at different places. After they came, we bathe , wore our theme night clothes and then went for dinner.Since that was our last night, the buffet food was delicious.There was mini pizzas , spaghetti ,beef lasagna ,potato wedges, ice cream ,etc. After that we went into the ballroom for the Theme night .That night Teacher Dora and one of the coaches were the MCs. There were a few performances and after that we had praise and worship for like 3 -4 hours until the musicians needed a break and my muscles ached becos I only sat down for one minute and the rest of the time I was either jumping or standing . But it was awesome ! During the Praise & Worship , all of us were anointed with oil again and many ppl cried and more ppl fell becos the presence was so strong and Pastor Dan could just lay his hands on someone's head and say " Feel it " a few times and the youth would just fall down.So all the Royal Stewards were quite busy (I guess). But it was really a WONDERFUL , AWESOME , DYNAMIC Praise and Worship Service . Actually it goes like this( if you are confused):
First. Praise songs
Second. Worship songs
Third.Praise songs
Ok. But the sad thing was we didn't sing these 2 song : the blink blink song(My heart overflows) and God is moving.We ended like about 1.40am and then since it was the last night , there was no curfew.Thus after we were dismissed , there was a jam at the lobby (again) and then we changed into other clothes and then RCI went to Abigail , Annabella and Nicole's room to play.Until 2.30am , then we went back to our rooms and went to sleep.

Day 5
We woke up at 9am , packed our bags ,then checked out and then went to eat brunch. My bus set off at 1pm and arrived at Suntec City at 7.30pm (2 1/2 hours later then the time stated on the camp briefing list). But the sad thing was 2 buses broke down on the way.So I think they arrived back at maybe 10pm? Who knows? But I am very sad that the camp has passed in just a blink of the eye.But I enjoyed it , but I still missed it. How? I just got to wait for EJ4 next year.=D
