OF SARONGS AND FREEDOM

(designer’s note : iphone rules)

connec t with ever yone. H is message was based on 2 Timothy 2 :2-4 where Paul wr i tes to Timothy te l l ing him that he cannot be entangled by the things of th is wor ld i f he wants to l ive for Chr ist . Ps Daniel used a sarong to demonstrate how restr ic-t ive i t i s for one to run whi le being entangled in something.

He told us that before K ing David was k ing, he was just an ordinar y shepherd boy who was not afra id when he faced Gol iath . He a lso sa id that i f we are going to defeat our ‘giant ’, we have to go TOWARDS i t and NOT TO BE AFR AID . We shouldn’t run, but instead we should embrace i t .

We sang ‘Fr iend O f God’ and ever y-one danced and sang their lungs out . At the ver y end, Ps Daniel asked us a quest ion that we should a l l ask ourselves, “ D o w e r e a l l y k n o w G o d, o r j u s t A B O U T G o d ? ” .

The ra in poured as I walked into the hal l . We were wet , cold and rest less as we found our seats. Rev Gideon Lee walked onto the stage to set the ground rules. He sa id he would ‘bapt ize’ our handphones and torchl ights i f any of us were to !ddle with e i ther one. I quick ly switched o" my handphone and hid my torch-l ight . Then we got to watch the high-l ights f rom the ! rst day of camp on v ideo. Funny stu" !

Final ly, i t was t ime to worship God! S inging ! l led the hal l as we jo ined our voices to praise our Lord God. Oh what a feel ing i t was to stand together with a l l my f r iends in worship! As the song ‘Be L i f ted H igher ’ began to play, I could feel the presence of our Master R anger in our midst . Rev Gideon Lee invited people to recommit their l ives to Chr ist at the a l tar. I jumped at the chance. At the corner of my eye, I could see that I wasn’t the only one stepping for ward. We reached the

f ront and were prayed for by the commanders and counselors. I could feel my troubles and worr ies s lowly go away and again fe l t the great touch of the Holy Spir i t .

When we were done, Selangor #7 presented their absolutely amazing drama starr ing Anusha, her t rash, and ‘Jesus’. S imple yet power ful . That message taught me that sometimes we don’t want to give our ‘ t rash’ to Jesus for the fear of the unk nown. I t a lso showed me that most of the t ime, we’re ac tual ly aware of our ac t ions when doing wrong, yet we just don’t want to admit i t or let i t go because we enjoy i t . The drama also showed me that when we do give ever ything to H im, we don’t just feel f ree, but we are f ree because we have a l ready been forgiven. We just need to learn to forgive ourselves.Our speaker for the night , Ps Daniel Ross was welcomed with much cheer. I !nd him to be a l ively, funny, and ‘youthful ’ pastor who can real ly

DODGE MASTERS FINALS!

EPIC SHOWDOWN As the commanders yelled into the microphone, the games o#cially began! The second day had been !lled with lots of fun and exciting activities. Many awesome games were held in the !eld. Camp-ers of all ages took part in the games.

A popular favourite was the ‘Bump-2-Bump’, a game where two teams consisting of four members each are to kick a ball and score it in their respective goals. It’s just like a football game except with a twist! Players are to be strapped up in an orb ball while playing! My friends and I just had to try it out!

Even before the game had begun, we started bumping into each other making a few of us topple and roll over the !eld. The other camp-ers who were waiting for their turn to play, started laughing and cheer-ing while watching us roll and topple over each other.

When the referee threw the football up into the air, we ran as fast as we could towards him trying to kick the ball. One of the players, who managed to kick the ball !rst, quickly dribbled it towards his goal but slipped and fell. But he got right back up and continued playing the game!

‘Bump-2-Bump’ was not about wining or loosing, it was more about having fun with our friends.

WHO WILL IT BE – KELANTAN OR JOHOR?

HONK HONK HONK HONK….

Heads turned wondering what was causing the ruckus. Tra#c on the road parted as a long parade of tinted cars rolled into the entrance of Lego Land. And like true Malaysian style, the VIP was late, fashionably late. Out steps His Majesty, Sultan of Johor, Nelson Suresh and his lovely wife Datin Siti Nurhaliza to o#ciate the opening of Lego Land, !rst in Malaysia.

Lego Land is a Malaysian pride, at least now we have an equivalent to Singapore’s Universal Studios. Constant rivals, Johor and Singapore continue this love hate relationship even to this day. The judges visiting Johor city were treated to a taste of Singaporean rivalry as an abrupt Singaporean named ‘Sunshine’ kept barging in

for photo opportunities with the Sultan. It was obvious that Singapore wanted a tinge of fame at this momentous ceremony.

The judges and visitors were given passports at the entrance of the state and gum to chew in case deprived Singaporeans visited the state. Next, they were treated with a skit of a boy named Badang, a famous warrior of Johor and enjoyed the sight and sounds of the traditional Kuda Kepang dance.

They were even taught how to play a local kampung favourite sport named sepak takraw. Unable to resist, Stefan Fani Fischer played a game of sepak takraw with local champs.

Working up an appetite, the judges were ushered into the royal dining room for a meal

with the Sultan and his beautiful wife. There they were treated to live music on the kompang and a three-course meal. First starting with otak-otak, a Malaysian !sh and prawn cake served either grilled or fried. Stefan gave thumbs up and exclaimed, “I loved the brains the most!”. Then they had Johor Laksa a dry spicy noodle gravy dish and ending with sweet Johor pineapple. All this was washed down with the delicious juice of a burned coconut.

Finally, the judges were given chewing gum to ease any indigestion. Prior to ushering the judges out, the Johorian immigration o#cers sternly warned, “Spit that gum out, you are entering Singapore”.

As the sun’s !erce rays blazed over the land of Perak, campers were treated with a great cooling wind of change as they entered the enchanting Gua Tempurung. The cave was an extravagant entrance to the city’s premises itself.

Upon exiting the cave, an aroma strong enough to tingle all !ve senses of the human body, instantly !lled the air. We knew it came from none other than the famed Ipoh White Co"ee. Rumored to be the original founders of the Ipoh White Co"ee, Kedai Kopi Leng Chai was packed with customers speci!cally there to try out their famous co"ee and the mouth-watering Chee Cheong Fun.

Kedai Kopi Leng Chai, a Chinese family run business passed down from generations had mother daughter, father son, uncle and aunty working under one roof. As any typical Chinese

kopitiam, the environment was intense as waiters scramble to control the swelling crowd. Nonetheless, the energy and enthusi-asm from ‘handsome’ waiters as the kopitiam’s name suggests, merrily greeted customers with Chee Cheong Fun and co"ee ready for consumption.

“This city day brings back fond memories,” said Gary Chow of Sarawak City. “The Chee Cheong Fun and Ipoh White Co"ee tastes exactly like the ones from Ipoh!” he exclaimed while adding that his mother’s hometown is Ipoh.

Kopitiam in Ipoh plays a vital role in Perak’s history. Said to be the ‘gossip palace’, everyone knows the ‘what and who’ from conversations between regular customers. With Teresa Ting’s songs faintly playing in the background, karaoke sessions are inevitable. Some even

suggest that, karaoke was !rst started from incidents such as this.

Apart from its old kopitiam, Perak boasts a wide mixture of activities and attractions that brought the city to life! Campers were able to experience the traditional way of tin mining and game such as the sepak bulu ayam - an exiting activity where campers attempt to juggle a feathered ball. Last but not least, Tan Ah Beng Pomelo stall was a crowd puller as campers were able to taste the sweet and juicy pomelo all the way from Perak!

Perak city day was truly an experience not to be missed. With every possible activity and attractions o"ered by Perak, one really does not need to go to the real Perak to experience the very best the state. True story.
