Of rafts, flying foxes and "kayu"s...Camp Commandant's Top 10

1) The mamak sessions at an obscure location in Port Dickson...seriously, it's hard to find another location nearby big enough to cater our group size. Trust me, I've searched prior to the camp.

2) Pastor Dennis' sermons...I had warned you, he keeps you at the edge of your chair, and if you're not careful, you'll just flip over! Especially his comments "the urge to merge".......HAHAHA

3) Sea rafting - that's where I got most of my sunburns. And seriously, I didn't think all the teams will make it back in once piece!

4) Flying fox - some of your expressions are quite amusing.....I recall Meng Meng was pushed off by the facilitator, I never knew Yuen Yee can screech her voice, and Don was just singing "Only You" as he jumped off.

5) Meng Meng's perpetual joy when she's able to complete 19 out of 20 obstacle course and flying fox. Her excitement vibes can be sensed tables away from her sharing epicentre.

6) Food - you've gotta admit, the quality is quite good!

7) Altar call - it's heartwarming to see some of you responding to the altar call. Bless you.

8) Obstacle course - I was wearing all white, and after the 1-ft barb wire, I was all brown at the front. Also, Soo Sze splashed water into me during the log-walk over the water and the tarzan swing! And I didn't think that we had the energy left for the 8-ft wall.

9) I've learned that "help coordinate" and "in charge of i.e. camp commandant" are the same meaning in Ps. Stuart's vocabulary.

10) The camp committee - fantastic group of people to work with. The quality of work put in by these people exceeds expectations.
