Youth Congress 2011

Yeah! Finally I'm back from this one-week church camp! First of all, the photos taken is not ready yet, meaning I can't upload any pictures just yet, so maybe I'll upload some in my next post... For now, let's just listen to me blah a long post for u, which I always do, haha...


This year, the camp is based on the World Youth Day 2011 theme... some of you might not know anything abt it... actually it's a worldwide gathering of youths which is held every 2 or 3 years, and this year it was held in Madrid around August... so what our priest did was using the WYD 2011 as our theme for the camp... the idea was used in 2008 too, but this year, the downside is that the WYD theme song is not that nice, haha... Compare the two songs below and u'll know =)


Overall, this has to be the most tiring camp I've been to in my life, because of the position I held, which was the committee for Spiritual group... I have to be in charge of so many stuffs... I've been in committee before for red crescent and still managed to get the fun out of them, but this time the situation is so much different... The problem is that I got into the committee later than the others, and I didn't know what to do until 5 days before the camp, which is a complete disaster =.=


I guess all the participants and committee can see I'm one of the busiest person in the camp... u'll see me running in and out all the time, and wherever I go, I always have two things with me, which is my hp and a pendrive containing all my stuffs... every night when all the participants go to bed, we committee have to run a meeting, and after that, some of us will go to kitchen there to chat and eat snacks or noodle cups... While the others are enjoying themselves, I'm forced to bring a laptop n my pendrive along cuz I have to check my slides for the next day... that was how busy I was ><


Through this camp, I have to say, I'd rather be a participant rather than a committee member... one reason is that participants get to be more relaxed without having to be in charge of anything and getting much more sleep... but more importantly, participants can focus much more and benefit more on the spiritual side, which is the main reason I joined this camp in the first place... anyway, this has been a precious experience for me as a committee... as busy as I was, I still enjoyed myself a lot and made new frens... I'll definitely join again next time, no matter as committee or participant... =)


P.S. Stay tuned for the next post, I'll post pics of the camp to let u know more abt it... xD

Teaching little kids!!

Okay, I've not blogged for more than a week now, and there are reasons to that... I have been so busy that I always get lazy to blog anything at all... FYI, I'll be going to an one week camp on Monday, which means today, though I'm writing this during past midnight... which means I won't be blogging again for another week... surely I'm not gonna leave my blog to rot for 2 weeks, haha, so I had to force myself to write something here though I'm extremely tired now...


Well, as mentioned in the last post, I had been teaching little kids about Christian knowledge... I have been helping out in this every year since I was in Form 2, except Form 5 when it crashed with my SPM... Teenagers around my age normally just help out other older teachers in class, but for the last two years, I have already been 'promoted' to be a main teacher, which means I'm the one who teach and I have younger teachers following me into class, haha...


This year, the biggest difference is that the committee decided to open 2 classes for kindergarten children, which means TROUBLE to us teachers... these kids are the cutest, yet the NAUGHTIEST as ever... it's so hard to control them because they are so pure in thoughts and just do anything they like... I had quite a tough time teaching them as I was one of the teachers in a kindy class... as tough as it was, it was quite an experience ><


In a blink of an eye, two weeks are gone just like that... but I'm quite satisfied with my experience this year, as I got to spend time with church friends as well as getting to know many other new friends, hahaha... Actually the reason I've been so busy lately is not just because I was teaching from morning to afternoon, but mainly because I'm one of the committee members for my upcoming camp... I have been running in and out for the past few days just to get my jobs done... Let's pray that everything will go well in this camp... See you all in one week ^^

Worries? Problems?

As I said at the end of my previous post, I'm currently volunteering as a teacher in church to teach little kids about Christian knowledge... all of that, I shall talk about them in my next post...

Anyway, today while I was in the 'staffroom' with a few young teachers like me chatting and laughing crazily among ourselves, one of the elder teachers who was sitting nearby us asked us, "Do you young people have worries or problems? And what are them? (你们年轻人有烦恼的吗? 是什么呢?)", because she thinks we don't... Some of my frens started to say stuffs like studies, money and other typical stuffs... Then I asked that teacher what abt her? She told us her responsibility is a a big worry for her, everything abt her family, her children's future, desires, studies...

Honestly, if you compare both of them, teenagers' worries are much less significant as compared to adults' worries... how much responsibility is actually placed on a teenager's shoulders? To be honest, other than studies, there's not much real worries for us other than those created by ourselves for us...

However, for me personally, sometimes my worries do not just end with studies... money is a big part of my concern everyday in my life... Due to the tough situation of my family's finance, I have to buy almost everything by myself... I'm just thankful to God that I was given scholarships, small or big throughout my life, so that I could ease the pressure on my parents...

Well, the main point of my post here is that, I guess we, as teenagers especially, should always stay grateful to God for everything that has been given to us, and not always sulk around abt this and that... There's a lot of other ppl who are less fortunate than us in terms of health, money, family relationships etc. Now when I look back at my previous posts worrying abt not getting a gf, I can't help but to think how stupid I sound back then... From now on, I shall always thank God for everything He has given me, no matter how tough situations might seem to be at times... let us all learn to be grateful and thankful in life at all times... =D

This is so true! ^^

Church camp~~

Phew, I just came back from a 3-day church camp called 圣神同祷会 yesterday... it was held at the Sibu Pastoral Centre and organized by the prayer group of my church... This is the very first time I've joined this annual camp, though it has been around for quite long dy... guess one of the reason I joined was just to cure my boredom n get out of my house, haha... however, I was in for a treat, as I reli loved the camp in the end... =)


The theme for the camp this year is 我心深处, the deepest part of my heart... that's the part of the heart where all the sorrows and injuries are hidden away with us not realizing it at all, so the main point of this camp was to heal our hearts' deepest sorrows and injuries... of cuz there were other normal programmes which they carry out every year in the camp, such as Inner Healing, Baptism with Holy Spirit, Praise and Worship, speaking in tongues and many more... those who aren't Catholics, dun think u'll know what I just mentioned, haha...


Anyway, I realized that the participants for this camp are mostly adults, and I'm talking about 40-70 years old adults... and as a result, the meals prepared had to be suited to their taste too... >< However, I still had some good frens in there around my age, so I wasn't that bored at all...


Well, all in all, I certainly learnt some lessons in there... I learnt that we shud at all times put God above anything else in our lives... God's love is what matters, not anyone else's love... and I promised God that I will regret my sins completely and not repeat them ever again, which I pray I can achieve, haha... and through the inner healing and baptism of Holy Spirit, I felt much more closer to God than ever before...


I just hope I get to join this camp every year from now on... As for now, I'm currently helping out as a teacher in church to teach little kids christian knowledge for 2 weeks, hope it all goes well... =D

Do Women Date Assholes?

I wonder how many of u would agree with the guy in the youtube video below? I think I agree for most of the girls, not all... lol... >.<

Retired!!

Well, after 2 short months as a teacher in SMK Sacred Heart, today is finally the last day... I'm officially retired as a teacher!! I guess the larger part of my heart is just feeling relieved and relaxed that it's finally over, that I dun have to face all those problems I've faced before anymore... on the other hand, the rest of my heart kinda feels like I'm gonna miss all the good and cute students, and oso students calling me 'teacher', haha... Mixed feelings la...


Overall, though it was a tough experience from the beginning, I started to get used to it as it went by, u could just say it fitted into my system gradually... At first, I was always sleepy and tired as I could not deal with sleeping early and waking up early, that was the worst! But in the end, I got used to it and could sleep 5 hours and still feel awake at school, haha...


But now, I'm just glad it's all over... I can even say that my holiday has just resumed! Haha... Anyway, it's quite awkward to think that I was a former Methodist student teaching in Sacred Heart... most teachers asked me whether I was an ex-student of Sacred Heart... now that I've done that, my heart might be split between the two schools... However, it's clear that I'll always be a Methodist by heart!


Anyway, since that school holidays has started, this means church activities are coming thick and fast... Hope I can fully enjoy the last 3 months of my holiday! =D

If I could read minds...

If I could read minds, I would know what cards the others have in a card game, and know what moves I should make next.


If I could read minds, I would know what others truly think of me, whether they like me or hate me.



If I could read minds, I would know why someone doesn't like me or is unhappy with me and try to make it up to them.

If I could read minds, I would be a great CSI detective and identify the culprit as soon as I see the person. (too much CSI dy, zzz...)


If I could read minds, I would know what questions teachers are setting in exams and get excellent results in every exam. (that'll be super great!)


If I could read minds, I would know the real reason why someone is in a bad mood and be able to console him/her if needed.


If I could read minds, I would know exactly what to do and what to say to a person in a bad mood, because I would know what he/she hopes to hear.


If I could read minds, I would nail interviews because I would know exactly what interviewers want from me.


If I could read minds, I would know if a girl is into me or not. (that would be extremely handy >.<)


If I could read minds, I would know when to propose to my future gf because I would know whether she is ready for marriage or not. (thinking too far ahead, lol...)


If I could read minds, I would know various passwords of programs of other people. (thinking of being a top hacker, maybe? Haha!)


But most importantly, if I could read minds, the true faces behind hypocritical masks of every single person in this world would be revealed to me, alas, the ugly truth.
