:::Church Camp'07 An An Apprentice:::

Last year in 2006, I attended church camp for the first time after being in church for almost say 2-3 years? Church camp was so fun and becos I was Holy Spirit Baptised at church camp, I decided that I want to be a part of the church camp committee so that others too will experience what I experienced in 2006. =)

So I signed up to be a church camp committee and was assigned to be an apprentice in the Publicity Department; where I learned how to advertise and create awareness for the camp.
This is one of the job scope of being an apprentice. You have to depart for camp earlier than the rest of the people to get the place ready and suitable for camp. Exciting!

I'll share with you about what being an apprentice in church camp entails:-

1. You'll have to stop by this delicious Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib soup) place at JB (Courtesy of Meng Chong who fetched us to church camp and brought us to this place). See the steaming Bak Kut Teh Soup? Meng Chong added pacific clams into this soup making it even more slurrrppzzz.. So, this is job duty one. Try the local food while travelling up for church camp. =P

2. Upon arriving at Malacca where our church camp is held this year. It was near to lunch time. We drove to Jonker Street and it was here that again we were given another job to accomplish. This is the place where they had supposedly famous chicken rice balls. I think it's called Famosa if my selective memory didn't fail me. I didn't take a pic of the rice balls because we were busy eating when it arrived. So I took a pic of the place since it seems to be quaint in its decoration.

3. The next task awaits. I tell you... being a par t of church camp committee is sheer hard work! We were pretty full from accomplishing the previous task but had to pry our mouths open to finish the superbly mouth-watering chendol dessert found at Jonker Street as well. It is diagonally opposite the chicken rice store . The chendol below is dangerous... it can caused fights if you're sharing a bowl. My advice is to get your own serving. Some things in life you just can't share. Heheheheh. Chendol rating: Best I have ever ever tried. Even better than the chendol from the "Mangosteen" lookalike store in Malacca. Mind you, church camp hasn't even started. Heeee... **Side note: My lovely bear named "Zip" says hello to all! =) Well, Oonie bought this for me from the "Blessing Point" at church camp. It was the only one and I asked him to name the bear and one glance and he named the bear Zip for obvious reasons... duh..hehe**

4. Arh... finally church camp commences and these are my church mates. Being church camp committee... there will be a number of times you won't get to be near your care group mates since you would need to run a number of tasks for the camp and so ... these are precious moments to me. =)

5. Me & my church mates.

6. Miriam & I (Told ya every moment is precious!)

Having fun with the church camp deco.

7. Oonie and I. Hey, we're both serving in church camp mind you! heeee...

8. Finally, before the camp ends for good... a picture with both my camp commandants- Eugene Phang is stripes and Teck Keong in orange. Really fun and smashing working along side and serving in the camp with them. They're excellent leaders and I must say its good synergy.

Well, that's all for camp this year as an apprentice. I'll be back next year! *Gulp* Running the publicity as an in-charge.. *double gulps* and may God be with me next year to lead me in the Publicity department for church camp! =)
