CC3 camp....2 words to describe it...wonderful encounter...i realli benefitted tremendously from the camp...it was just so peaceful and joyful ..a warm embrace from God letting me know he has planned my life and he is there every step of the way...Thought of the day...If u wanna make God laugh tell him your plans...what a great retreat...left me feelin so much more at peace with myself and my life....we watched a video on the 1st day about the father's love letter to us....if u wanna see or read it go to www.fathersloveletter.com ...realli beutiful...to all my frenz pls do read it...

YLTC...u can go thru lectures and workshops but nothing can prepare a leader like a training camp like YLTC...somehow all the lectures that i went through hearin the same old stuff...all fitted into place...this camp realli put all these lectures into experiences...that i would never forget...and i have gained tons from this experience...i have proved to myself that i can perservere through tough times...and i thought it was the best possible followup to cc3 camp...what better way to perservere thru the mentally and physically tough times of the camp...

My most memorable moment was of course my rock wall climb...thanks so much to fos and the trainers there for their encouragement and support...i would have come down much faster if not for u guyz...i gave my best...i let my mind control my body...there were times when i needed to rest and then i carried on...the perserverance that God gave me...the strength from within that kept me goin...when i closed my eyes while on the wall...it all came to me...the peace...the experiences at cc3 camp....thank u Lord for always being my father...for guiding me up that wall and keeping me goin...yes i did not reach the top...but to me, i scaled my own personal mountain...fos u guys made the right decision in askin me to come down...i could not go further....at least not on that day...reachin for a grip that seemed so distant yet so close...still i really want to reach the top and one day i will...somehow...someway...someday...

Life is like a rock wall
Never straight and simple
Full of ups and full of downs
Rough and Tough
Tiring and Painful
Humbling but yet exhilarating
Sometimes you need to rest and recuperate
But you keep on going
The finish line feels so close but yet so far
Yet there is always hope
Hope that when you meet a gripless section
You will jump and reach for greater heights
The encouragement from below
And you feel lighter
You feel stronger
The light at the top beckons
The overcoming of physical weakness
The triumph of the power of mind and faith
The strength of the human endurance
For Impossible is Nothing

I learnt a lot from the second day...One word...Balance...Yes balance dont laugh because it is key in leadership...there are always two sides...both being normal human responses...but there has to be a balance...fos thank you for that lesson that we all learnt together...

3rd day we were waken up early for a morning hike...at first i was dreading it...i was barely awake...but still i pushed myself...i thought i would still give my best anyway...and i learnt from it...the trust that i put in the group walking down slopes...the sense of fulfilment when i reached the top...and then as we were goin down it started to rain...and the support for everyone was tremendous...the lightheartedness the rain seemed to bring almost made it seemed like showers of blessings...i ran and ran and ran...and it felt good when it was over...i did it...
Dragon boating was fun but was over pretty fast...we had debrief and sharings and then it was farewell...YLTC 2005 we did it...we came, we saw , we conquered...everyone who helped esp. Mr Loh and Qianyi...and all the trainers...u guyz rock...To FOS it was grt being with u guyz...thanks a million for the experience...
