family camp 2009

after many years of deliberation, GMC family camp finally kick off on 8th may. Personally it was wonderful spiritual enlightening 2 1/2 days for me.

What makes Methodist so different from other deno? It was with the clear spirit-filled expositiion by our beloved President Dr Rev Su that i have come to understand many basic truths abt methodist and John Wesley. It was also thru Rev Su that I have finally decided to attend the Methodist convention in Sibu first week-end of June.


We 'camped' at the Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort. Amazingly there were no mosquitoes at all.. we enjoyed the 'life' there. I did not regret going for the jungle trekking and thanks to our knowledgeable guide, i learnt a lot about the plants esp those that keep flies and mosquitoes away... Ask James Chai for the picture of the red-corn-like flower plant.. hehe

The trekking itself was uneventful except for a kiss-in-the-face by a no smoking sign.

We walked and climbed thru the treks; drank from a waterfall..(yuck..the water tasted sweet and thick..); educated on the flora, rode on a tractor-pulled train and breathing in dust; took a boat ride across a 70,000-patin infested pond.. and i DID IT all on my pair of black and red slippers. They have been faithful to me thru many retreats and camps.
