Ha... Many probably wonder what does the YaYA mean. It stands for Youth and Young Adults in my church. We call it YaYA in short. Sounds nicer, and rhymes with papaya too... =x
First day, was out getting stuff for project before heading home to get bag for camp. Ice breakers were ok, cause my group didn't managed to win any... Even after i sacrificed my hair... T.T
Had dinner before having out first session with Sarah Allis Young. Interesting story she of her life before you got to know God. First session touched on identity. Guys tend to find their identity in work while gals find identity in guys. What does that mean? Guys have this tendency to judge their day with their work and how well it is. Usually when we have a bad day, it is usually due to that we didn't do that well in our work. Likewise for good days, where we are happy with out work. Girls? She stated how girls always talk about guys, and when guys don't treat them as well as they want, they have a bad day.
So i was asking myself, at least for the guys part of the above statement, if it was true. Kind of, sometimes i guess. Finding my identity in the wrong thing? My identity is in God, and no one or anything should decide what i am. Felt better after that, cause no one else has the right to dictate who i am. (:
That was one of the few stuffs i remember from the first day. 2nd day started with breakfast with a little twist. Had breakfast while doing devotion. Covered the fruits of the spirit. Had different fruits to represent different fruits of the spirit. Slowest breakfast i have, but was quite good time besides the point that my nose was going off at the wrong times... =x
Was followed up by another session by Sarah. Er... I wonder if i can find notes from anyone... 2nd day was one of the flu-ey days for me... Was blur throughout the day. =x
After lunch was a session by Wan Hsi about prophetic worship. I guess i fell asleep halfway cause of the flu... =x Not that it was boring, just that i was really tired for soem reason. Woke up before the thing ended though. The thing i picked up in that session was that worship should come from the heart.
After that was our own CSI game. Went around a small portion of Singapore trying to solve the mystery of how a person was murdered. All the clues were like all over the place... And the answer to the dead person was so... so... Man... She fel down the stairs not dead yet... But was an allergic reaction to a new drug that killed her... So actually no one killed her, just that an accident happened...
There was another session by Sarah. A question that came to my mind then was if i'm willing to trust God with the extraordinary. There was this time where we were asked to see what God told us of someone else. First we were to ask our partners if they were an animal what would they be. 2nd was what car would they be. 3rd was what picture do you see when you think of them.
First was with someone and i told him he was an mouse cause he was quick and fast and very hard to catch. He said i was a cat cause i am softspoken. =x
2nd and 3rd time i felt a little pressured cause i was partnered with the senior pastor of my church. For the car question, i told him i thought of a toyota cause it was hardy and lasting. He said i'm a vintage car, not cause i'm old, but cause i will grow in value, i guess in the sense that i will continue becoming better. Felt quite good after that. =x
Last question, i saw the house, in the countryside. Warm and cozy. Just get a feeling that people approach him for help cause they they they will be safe with him. And he saw me as those power tower that hold up power cables, that without me holding the connections in place, it will all fall apart. Felt appreciated then. =x
3rd day was on Sunday, so had usual church session at 9am and 11am. Only difference was that we had to attend both sessions intead of the usual one... No second breakfast that day... T.T
The first highlight of the day was treasure hunting, not in the finding stuff sense, but finding people. We were to ask the Holy spirit to put stuff on our minds and we were to write it down. We then go around finding people that matches the stuff we wrote down. Was exciting. Prayed for people along the streets. My group only found 1 person that matches the things on our list. Was looking for an umbrella, but since it was so hot, didn't really expect to find one until we saw the ice cream man. =x
After that was free and easy period, but was used for discussing the skit for the performance that night. Ended up with one that was a modified version of Noah's ark. There was the Tamil tiger, scape goat and no-eye-deer (no idea) among other things. Kind of threw in bird flu, swine flu and reindeers too. =x
Then it was the performance it self. Found props all over the place last minute. I was playing the no-eye-deer. Our skit was about this bunch of animals trying to get back on the ark cause they forgot to get on board. So imagine this: No-eye-deer gets an idea, pigs get swine flu and flew carring the tiger, tranforming the tiger to tiger airways. No-eye-deer ask praying matis to pray for rain so that the deer becomes a reindeer(rain-deer). Imagine a deer flying blind... =x
And since it was the night of the camp, people tend ot sleep later. Many slept after 3am, 4am++. Me? I slept around 1:30am. Can't help it... Project has done that to me... Sleep when you can, cause you never know when you have to pull an all nighter... =x
So the next morning my alarm rang at 7, i snoozed it. 7:10 again, and i snoozed again. 7:20 ringed again, but this time i turned it off. Next tiem i woke up was 8:45 and the the next sessin was supposed to start at 9... I was thinking of just jumping out of my sleeping bag and rushing, then i saw everyoen else around me still sleeping... So i took my time to wash up. XD
The session started an hour late, but was still fine cause we got the session. =x Was about angels and something else which neither my bro nor me cna remember. =x
The talk about Angels was interesting, cause apparently they were all over the church, and Sarah could see them. Some of us could too. Supposedly could feel them too. I just wonder if i felt them or is it the air-con sometimes... But hoenstly some of the spots where they were identified, it felt either warm or cold sometimes when i placed my hands through. Someone actually said she saw angels march into the room the moment the worship started. XD
After the last session, packed up, and joined soem people for lunch (NEPALESE FOOD!!). Before heading back. Wanted to go back to school after it all, but was too late... Called Singya and asked if i was needed in school on the way out of my house. Kena called crazy cause by the time i reached would probably be too late already. So i walked out of my house and walked back in again... =x
Ha... It has been an interesting weekend, bothe fun and tiring. Ah... That's what i can remember about what happened. =x See yah around!!
