Meant to Dance For God.

A little longer. Please?
Friday, October 27, 2006

i've just got back from camp.
was a student leader for the sec 2
adventure camp.
after going through the camp,
it made me reflect on,
on how i was reacting,
how i was thinking,
and how i was performing as my role.
being a leader is much harder than i thought.
many people tell me,
i've got potential.
yes,
i know.
but there is a saying from someone,
if you're have the potential,
and you're not willing to take that step,
then you would not reach the fullest.

what really inspires me to be a leader?
i have no straight answer for that.
it's linked all over the place.
but majority is because,
i want to see people be happy,
see people grow,
to be willing to take that step to lead
for those who are lost,
for them to influence others.
to become a leader.
but not just any leader.
it's to be a leader that is up-right
and righteous in God's eyes,
willing to do the things that are pleasing to God,
which it may not be to men.

it's hard to take up the cross everyday.
but i learn,
to delight in it. =)

anyways,
FYI (For your information),
this is the first camp,
i had ever cried in.
why?
because we were leaving.
and i was crying because
i was only merely beginning to enjoy myself,
and i was beginning to know the people more.
regardless of whether they were instructors or not.
on top of that,
it's the bond we had.

the song
"Linger"
kept reminding me of that
and as a result,
making me cry lah.
reminding me that i'm leaving those times already.
i really do treasure the times in camp.
i enjoyed their spirit.
and most of all,
i learnt a lot from my instructor,
Ellis.

i'm not sure if he'll be able to read this,
or not.
but,
i hope he does.
because i just want to say a big thank you to him
as he does not know how much i had learnt,
how big a difference he had made in my life.

we don't need to talk to each other to learn.
we just need to observe and listen.
he constantly reminded me of myself,
when i go wild in church
or in school.
and,
looking back,
things had been rather difficult
for me to be able to smile as often as last time.
but thank God,
Jesus is there to see me through everything,
amen? =)

To Ellis:
"oeii.
if you're reading this,
after you have read this.
TAG ME LAH.
hahas.
anyways,
thank you so much,
for everything. =)"

oh yah!
to Jac too!
i hope she'll read this as well. =)

To Jac:
" I LOVE JAC!
I'M A DIE-HARD FAN OF JAC!
hahas. =)
thanks for everything.
i'd learnt something from you too.
LOVE YOU BABY! =D"

somehow,
i wished that me and my instructor,
could have crapped more.
because i am a very crappy person.
*if you do not know lah.*
and i love to have fun everywhere i go.
also,
make new friends along the way too. =)

about the song "linger",
not sure if you know,
but here are the lyrics:

"hmmm, i want to linger,
hmmm, a little longer.
hmmm, a little longer with you.

hmmm, it's such a perfect night.
hmmm, it does not seem quite right,
hmmm, that this should be my last with you.

hmmm, and now comes October.
hmmm, i will remember,
hmmm, our camping days and friendships true.

hmmm, and as the years go by,
hmmm, i'll think of you and sigh.
hmmm, this is goodnight and not goodbye..."

----------------------------------------------------

yeps.
that the lyrics of the song.
at first before i left for camp,
i did not expect it to let me hold it so close to my heart.
and it caught hold of the deepest part of me.
The other student leaders made me cry more than 3 times
before we ended the camp.
they either hum,
or sing the song.
then i'll ask them to stop.
and knowing them what they would do,
after i had asked them that,
of course they would sing or hum even louder.
it once again,
reminded me that i was leaving the moment i treasured,
so much.
i didn't want to leave.
and,
i cried lah.
each time they hum,
or sing that song.

worst of all,
I CRIED IN FRONT OF EVERYONE TWICE.
in 2 days lah.
one during the campfire.
and the other when we were leaving the campsite.
but it was fun.
i don't mind crying.
it's just embarrassing if you were to wear
contact lens and the next thing you know,
the contact lens falls out of your eye because
of the tears.
it's a big joke lah.
imagine this,
you cry and cry.
and all of a sudden,
you can't see.
repeat after me.

"ahahhahas. =)"

sweetest of it all,
was that one of the instructor,
saw that i was running away from that song.
so..
he asked me to sit down beside him,
and let the other student leaders surround me,
and sing "linger".
AGAIN.
PURPOSELY ONE LORH!!!
purposely want to make me cry.
but,
i wasn't the only one that cried.
hahahas. =)
this just goes to show,
how much this camp has impacted us.

speaking of which,
after the campfire,
my group was brought to an area
to watch the stars.
in changi.
the view of the sky was AMAZING,
that it left me completely speechless.
i used to ask God,
when could i see stars,
and that day,
my prayer was answered.
the lights were bright,
but the stars could still be seen.
was told that shooting stars could be seen from there.

before the group dispersed for bed,
Student leaders kena SABO-ED lah,
the ones in my group.
we were told to stand in the circle.
ok lorh.
like sitting ducks,
follow lorh.
do as told.
but moment of folly lah.
the members circled us.
at first,
i thought it was a bear crushing hug.
but,
it turned out to be a water parade.
only that it's on me and 3 more other student leaders.
One,
ran away.
left 3 of us.
then we dunno what to do right?
so we squat lah.
then they just emptied their bottles on us.
then was..
11pm?
Changi has a lot of wind.
so,
after that,
couldn't stop shivering.
but still,
it was fun,
even though it was cold and all. =)
btw,
thanks for your concern to those
who asked me if i was ok when i was shivering.
ahhas. =)

to my group:
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST MAN!
you people will always have a special place in my heart.

Everyone else:
especially for every one of you whom,
i have met.
even just for just one time,
you guys already have a special place in my heart.
so,
a big thank you for being part of my life.
