What was I doing for the last four days,almost four days............(short version....long one,ask someone else)

DAY 1 of the last four days,I went to SFX to begin the trip to College General(okay ill admit i cant remember the proper name..........but its a place where you train priests in Malaysia),Penang. 4 hours and 40 minutes ride,clear roads with a break at Tapah. We then had an opening session there,you know the usual rules and stuff then lunch!!!!! Then it was our intro to M.J.What Michael Jackson??? Oh that dude with the beard who asked what we did earlier,who's name by the way is MARTIN JALLEH!!!!! Yea so he gave us a great start with games only he could win.........Martin Says......we'll win that  next time!!!!! Oh yes,he also talked about the trouble with the world.(lots of praying and praise and worship was used during this camp and im avoiding mentioning most since this is supposed to be short)

DAY 2, woke up in my room alone,thank GOD!!!No GHOST!!!! Those guys were smart in messing with my head since I had a room to myself without any roommate since he was not there yet. Today it was M.J. teaching us about what God is like. Then it was the even more fun,5 qualities of God's Love. no.5 is God has Humorous love............I totally agreed by day 4...........Anyways then it was a briefing on Inner Healing(he's sense of humour plus he's knowledge and passion really kept our attention and im sure everyone knows I lose attention to almost everyone after a while.)Then after dinner,some practice for Let's Celebrate:Drama:The Seven Deadly Sins!!!!. which had an almost totally boy group except for Lydia. So then it was time to go into Saint Theresa's room(the main room for the camp) where they got me and the others silent...........even im surprised that they managed to get us that silent.Then it was time for inner healing,ill admit that healing was rather deep that even I was strongly affected.Then it was mass,lead by Father Gerard(G.G.) ,funny and spiritual but in a way that's interesting.Yes,even the mass kept my attention with me barely yawning when you compare it to other masses that I attend.It was then the end,he offered to celebrate reconciliation with those who wanted to celebrate,it was like a pearl was given to a diver.

DAY 3,it was time for the amazing talk by M.J. on how we are to be ourselves.Then it was time for the even greater,how to fit in the church!!!!We got to play games!!!!!which taught us the 4C's, and the importance of DARING TO BE DIFFERENT(the camp theme).It was then time for Father G.G's  session,how to pray and study scripture.He challenged us in a way that I havent been challenged for a longtime,it took creativity and knowledge along with determination for both methods. Then we went for Mass where we got his testimonial of how he became a priest,God really showed G.G his sense of humour.Then it was also the night for the Drama.Joel was the leading man acting as a poor man who slowly sins more and more.The rest of the team:Shane(The Scary Jesus,he was wearing a hood and watching like he was gonna kill you),Mindy,Lance,......urm sorry I forgot your name, Darren,Mark(the narrator),M.J.(Michael Joshua not Michael Jordan or Martin Jalleh),David the Red Shirt, Ryan, Christopher,Jeremy,Lydia,Charles,Yohannes  and our Director/Writer Sonia(if my memory has not joined Red Shirt yet).I acted as a Mafia Boss which recruited Joel till Joel forgot bout his friends,sounds like a boring  plot? Well it aint,you have to see the acting and the whole plot then you'll find it good if not great. I had another part too.Other performances included CHOIR which had Doria,Charmaine,Yee Ling, Jason Nicholas and lots of others.STOMP which had Thania,Darryl,Matthew,Aileen, and yet again a lot of people. DANCE conducted by BEN had Christine,Michael,Mark,Neil and Nigel, and loads of people again mates!!!

DAY 4,M.J caught us off guard with why we did the sign of the cross as part of his being part of the church. which included Spiritual Warfare!!!!. Anyways then it was get pack and get outta there because we were gonna eat at a hawker center which sold Alkaline Kuih( I do not remember the name in chinese!!!!),I did not eat the alkaline because I wanted Ice Kacang(the good one like way better than what's in KL+Selangor) and oysters!!!!Then it was get back time,the trip had lots of interesting and funny moments!!! Then church with us meeting our parents.Yea now Ill explain what I meant by God's sense of humour,he knew we wanted to go to the beach but we didnt have time so he gave us lots of heavy rain,we look good in the rain!!!. M.J. had entertained the parents like crazy since we were late while he was early.Ill admit that must have taken lots of skill to do that.

P.S. If you want more details on anything,just tell me or ask me.
