Day 2 started with a bang thanks to Jerry’s innovative warm-ups. He started a new Taichi routine based on the tune of Beyonce’s “Irreplacable”. It’s really silly but it’s so catchy at the same time. Best of all, he does it with such conviction that it really gets you all choked up in laughter. I am not sure how he came up with it, but it was really brillant!

The first session of the morning started off with a great time of worship that just moved into a time of ministry. I had to leave earlier with the ever affable Jerry to pick up lunch from mainland Singapore. After lunch, we had another session with Auntie Debbie. Her voice was so much better as compared to the previous night. It was a great workshop session that saw Joachim and Jing-En tying the knot. That was one of the highlights of the workshop.hehe.

We then had the last session of games which was aptly called ” A Crazy Afternoon”. With games like the Stocking Gladiators, it was really a crazy affair. The objective of the game is simple. Wear the stocking on your head. Swing your head as vigorously as possible so the ball in the stocking will be able to entwine with your oponent’s stocking. Then you pull as hard as you can and hope you are able to yank out your opponent’s stocking. Last man standing wins. This was probably the most hilarious game and a game which most people enjoyed. Something really new and innovative.

The other games were pretty fun too. There was touch frisbee, which is a hybrid between touch rugby and ultimate frisbee. Another simple game saw the campers pair-up as they try to feed their partners water-melon while they remain blind. The last game saw them swimming across the waters to the opposite “island” and collect alphabets. They had to shout out across the waters and the rest of the group members had to form the alphabet. Unfortunately, this game was brought to an early halt by the Lifeguards at Sentosa after they deemed it too dangerous. All in all, it was a great time of fun and relaxation.

We had a great final night. After the night session, we had one more activity called “Prata Night”. Many of us were left puzzled with this event called “Prata Night”. We couldn’t decipher if it was going to be some kind of mystery game or a game where we had to make prata. But it was just as simple as its name, a night of Prata and curry. So we had Prata for our last supper at the beach. The camp comm took this time to give out some awards and sabo people at the same time.

Shaun won an award for being the most Kiasu Camper, simply for jumping off the stage during alter call, when he was supposed to be playing the guitar. Zhengxin became the most eligible camper after he tried to push the award to Ern, Joachim and Jing-En unsuccessfully. For the records, he “proposed” to Crystal Goh and Randolf accepted it as a proxy for Crystal. She is henceforth to be known as Crystal Lam.=p just kidding.

This bring us to the end of camp. Jeanette preached an invigorating final mesage that serves to inspire all of us and to keep the fire burning brighere. PJ also shared something very personal to her heart which I felt was really bold of her and it really brought us closer as a ministry to be able to pray for her.

I had a great time at camp. It was a timely reminder to be dependant on God’s strength. The high calling of leadership will be difficult and choices will have to be made. Stands must be taken and there can be no compromise. It will not be easy, but with God, all things are possible.
