CONNECTIONS

The camp did little to hype me up. Wasn't satisfied with the planning & activites. Thought it could be made much more exciting & engaging. Nevertheless, I still came back with a few thoughts running through my head and I suppose there will be take-aways albeit a few. But better than none!

THE SIXERS

The greatest satisfaction of this camp is the CONNECTIONS between myself & some of my coursemates. My group was made up of 3Aians whom I seldom talk to in school. Yet it was pleasantly pleasant having to see another side of them. I've always known 3Aians to be the logical, steady, down-to-earth and they are no doubt. Yet I got a taste of their cheekiness as well and they are not as dull as I've always imagined them to be. Let's just say we complement one another in our differences and it was a good synergy that I saw.




My other 2 lego-fied friends!

Human relations are ever so mind-boggling. When people come together, its either going to be a good chemistry or a disasturous one. And it has always been my belief that its the people factor that makes or breaks an experience. On hindsight, I enjoyed the camp not because the program was good (it wasn't) but it was whom I was with that made the difference.






While there were inter-connectivity with others, it was also a time when I got to connect with myself. Intra-connectivity!
This camp triggered my OBS dream & the memories of my failed attempts in becoming an instructor. I once again begun to entertain the thoughts of joining OBS or doing such outdoor educational stuff. I don't know if its meant to be but no harm just thinking & waiting to see how things enfold. Simply put, it got me excited about living out my dream again!

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
