Pri 5 Camp

Hello people~ hows everyone been?
Sorry ar, hadn't really been online for the past few days,
I've been running around for the Pri 5 camp, so pretty busy and had to sleep early.

Pictures to illustrate my point~

Meow Walk Extreme (CatWalk Extreme that is)
3 ropes diagonally across 2 blocks, the pupils are to walk across.
Being the new teacher, I cheered for every single one of them. :D
Abit crazy ar? :D
oh well, what to do,
thats what everyone needs,
Someone to Encourage them.
of course, there were those that are very focuse, so became completely Oblivious :D


Flying Fox (or what I call: "I jumped from the 4th level and landed without dying" element)
If you dont know how to play, go to an adventure camp, and tell them you wanna play Flying Fox, they'll be more than glad to render you their service. :D
and Yes I jumped. :D
There were 2 available ropes, So I laughing, if its 2 friends doing it at the same time, they can go "You Jump I Jump".

and my role?



as though the one in green in this picture. I pull people back on-board. If not, they be hanging. :D

Next stop: Tarzan

Pupils are separated into two tables, they've to swing from one table to another. :D
it takes guts for these young minds.

"Trolley" thats what they called this game.

Strings are attached to these planks, pupils are to synchronize their steps together.
I learnt that no matter who you are. the 1st person, the last one, the middle one, (you get my point) no matter how hard you pull, until the group shouts "left leg, 1,2,3" and everyone moves together, you are getting no where. :)
Thats what team work is about.
So leaders, get your act together. Know and work with your members.

and now, its time for some..........
EYE CANDY!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~


Of course I did take photo with him, but aiya, pai sei ar, I shy, dont want put up. :D
and the funny part is just when I was about to take photo with him, my phone low batt...
Thank God the "camera man" has a camera phone too. :D and my phone's battery can still handle bluetooth. :D so its better resolution one. :D

kk,
and the instructors that I worked with:

4 pretty girls I worked with from Innova JC, one is missing from the picture. Too shy too shy.


and the main Ranger from Campland.

Deepest Appreciation to Innova JC, Campland and Beyond Social Services. :D
and of course the teachers that organized.
You Guys were Great! Link

Be Bless~

Babel

I know le!!!

:D

Its true that my God is not a God of confusion. :D

Was talking about I dont digest the Commentary about the Tower of Babel in Gen 11.

alright let me put things into context,

Gen 11 talks about Noah's descendent going forth from the east of the land to the Land of Shinar, it was a place big enough to contain them all.
Though there was no proper mortar and building blocks for them to use,
they purpose in their heart to build themselves a tower and a city.
Hence they created bricks.

The commentary mention that that was when God caused confusion to come upon them and so they were scattered.

I was struggling, Confusion? God? these 2 words doesnt come together,

then I began to realize,

Let me explain the part on why God was against them building a tower first.

The reason why they want to build a tower and a city was actually a form of unity, they wanted to stay together, dwell together, build up these fortress so as to protect themselves from the rain,wind and acts of nature.
Stay in together as one. which was also the reason why they settle down in the Land of Shinar, (it was big enough to contain them all)

But what did God say? God commanded them in Gen 9:1, 7 to go forth and fill the earth. replenish all the land.
So they are meant to separate and each "conquer" and stay at different parts of the earth, not together, not meant to be unity - bond together.

So what was the reason that confusion would be inflicted on them?
They disobeyed.
They didnt do what God commanded them to do, for the matter, told them to do.
What is disobedience?
Disobedience is rebellion, its as good as breaking any of the 10 commandments, be it a lie or adultery or murder. Just as Pastor preach.

As I've read in the book Under Cover,
When we go against God and God is no longer God of all in our lives, He would lift up His covering of protection.

thats when the devil comes in, :) and so comes the confusion.

and so their tongues (the common language they used) became less effective (kind of like our modern day communication breakdown. :D we may be speaking English language, but sometimes points just dont get through)

Disagreement comes and off they go, each on their own, to different parts of the world.
*just as God purposed in His heart*

Guess thats the reason why we dont have one common language. :)
the hassle of having to learn another language ar? :D

the commentary mention,
Thats the reason why God gave us the Holy Language, the evident of the baptism of the Holy Spirit - Tongues.
One common language that all Child of God know
Rom 15:6
That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

OoOooooOOOOooOOOOOooOO

:D

Hallelujah!

Be Bless!

Gen 9

Hmm... wat should the title be?

Was reading the bible with Wesley commentary , am in the part on Noah his descendents.

got caught up in this part (have yet to read the commentary) where its written about Ham who went in and saw Noah's nakeness (cos he was drunk). Read Gen 9
then he went and told his two brothers about it. (at that point of time Noah came out of the ark with Shem, and Ham, and Japheth whom were his 3 son)
Ham was the youngest son of Noah, and has a son called Canaan.

Gen 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.

then follow on in v25
"And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers."

I was instantly shocked *huh?*
I tot Ham did a good thing, he told his brothers, and then they went and covered the father. Huh? how come he end up on a bad note? no its how come his descendent end up on a bad note?

then read the commentary, realized
"Ham saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren - To have seen it accidentally and involuntarily would not have been a crime. But he pleased himself with the sight. And he told his two brethren without - In the street, as the word is, in a scornful deriding manner."

the word "without" meant who has not seen.

then i realize OoooOOoOOoo.

it went on to say in v26
"And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."

and the commentary said:
"This certainly points at the victories obtained by Israel over the Canaanites, by which they were all either put to the sword, or put under tribute. "

Shem, who happens to be the ancestor of Abraham... oOOoooooOoOooo again

In case you didnt know Abraham begot Issac who begot Jacob who God called Israel. the 12 tribes of Israel are the descendents of Jacob/Israel.
oOOoOooOooOoo again.

Wah! God is interesting! So much to learn from and about the Bible
-
hmm.... theres a part on the tower of Babel that I do not understand, anyone does?
God is not the author of confusion, did He and really He cause there to be a confusion in the languages? hmm...
Thats wat I read, but nah, I havent digest it, better dont put it up.
-

Shall share on the Land of Ur the next time.

Wedding Vow

I John, take thee Doris
To be my wedded wife
To have and to hold
From this day forward
For better, for worse
For richer, for poorer
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish
Till death do us part
According to God’s holy ordinance
And thereto I pledge thee my faithfulness

Do you see the meaning thats underneath?
Interesting ar?

Amanda
