This is The Boss reporting to you live from Ipoh...the land of tauge chicken, limestone caves, and free wifi! Seems like every shop here has free wifi! How cool is that? McDee, KFC, Ali Mamak, Big Apple, etc etc etc...Anyway, thanks for your prayers...glad to inform you that the Boss is still alive and well. Had a lil' scare yesterday...came down with flu, fever, backache, etc. Feelin' better today, however...we'll see how things progress over the next couple of days. SS2 durian on Sunday night, anyone? :)
Oh well, so whats been happening? Apart from the fact that the world is still in mourning over the departure of MJ, Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema...Hmm. Tough week for some, I reckon. And just to clarify, I have turned down the offer to be the next King Of Pop, even though some have said that when MJ sang the song 'Black or White', he was singing about me. Brings me to tears everytime I do the moonwalk. Oh well...time to move on. I've lost 2 good friends already...first it was Elvis, and now MJ. Thanks for the memories, guys!
Even though Camporama ended like 3 weeks ago, the memory still lives on and on! I'm still on a journey to bring the memories into the present, and once again...many thanks to all our excellent photographers and wannabes who captured these images for our viewing pleasure. Tonight's collection comes from the man they call 'Just Kech'...Do take time to enjoy the pics. There's quite a lot in the collection, and so I'll try my best to cover the camp from all angles in my upcoming posts! Till then...stay true and God bless! Enjoy the story...
Here we see William and Jayson working hard and putting the final touches to the Archway...everything had to be right! And everything turned out superbly in the end...many thanks to all those involved in the advanced party! You guys surely did an excellent job!
Talk about a Japanese garden here in Raub? Welcome to Japan City @ Camporama 2009! Beautiful, serene, and I felt all Japanese inside just walking around the area...:)
To experience the full beauty of our city, you cannot afford to miss the view at night! Its simply gorgeous with all these extra lighting. Thumbs up! If ever there was a Beautiful City championship, I reckon we would have won it hands down!
Camporama Highlights - Here's Marcus Hood taking a shot at the Archery Range. Had loads of fun trying this out. Would have been more fun if we had some live targets running about!
Here's our Cmdr. Julian and his archery instructor aka 'adopted father', giving some pointers to the campers before they begin shooting. They make quite a good pair.
Ah huh! Here we have the Zhi brothers...Zhi Kang and Zhi Bin having a brotherly time at the lake kayaking together. Good stuff!
Check this out!! Cmdr Wei Chuan being the daddy of the team...here seen taking his kid, Gerald Chan for a ride out in the lake. Awww....so sweeet!
At first I couldnt recognize who's this dude....but then when I looked again closely, I noticed the way he smiled. And there's only one dude with that smile...Mr. Jojo!! Right??
Ok...no points for guessing who's this dude. Mr. Yap Zhi Kai! Such a poser and a happy dude...:) Good shot, Mr Kech! Was he stuck on the ropes???
And yes...even the oldies had a fun time playing in the water...here's Cmdr. Cheryl and Cmdr. Phaik Joo! I can still remember...during the last Camporama, they were only 13 yrs old! Wow...reaching Senior Citizen status ade (just like the old fella in Australia).
Here we have Mrs Lee and the kids! Great to have Serena, Elisa, Elena and Mr. Rambutan Joe Boy join us for Camporama 2009! Yes...you might be wondering where's Cmdr Gid? Well, I'm pretty sure he was busy zzzzz....what say you?
More smiles at the Kayak station. Its great to see everyone having a mind-blasting time together at camp. Maybe its because ppl get extra happy when there's water nearby??
Awww...such a sweet couple. Benson and Bryan. So happy being together with each other. Whole time during the camp...they're seen together. Sleep also together. Go makan, also together. And now...go kayak, also together! What's with boys these days...haih.
And when there's boys together...you'll definitely find girls together also. Here we have half of the Awesome Foursome founding members...Casovia 'the Ballerina' and Trisha the 'Sampah-kia'. How they got these names? I dont know. Seriously.
A scene from the Morning Parade. How cool is this?? Japan brought our very own legendary Sumo Twins!! These guys instantly became hits during Camporama and their presence will forever be remembered...together with the fainting Kangaroo. Haha. Here we have Jason Ong and Dan Seliong in the sumo outfits. Not an easy task, I tell you.
Hey hey...guess who came along! Yup...its the Indians!! Here we see Mr Singh ordering the Indians to riot and cause havoc during morning parade. Noisy bunch, I tell you! Haha. But thanks to the citizens of India, you guys really made Camporama 2009 all the more memorable!
"Oh oh!! I'm losing hair!" Denyse squeeks...Oh fyi, she was the co-sailor in our victorious cardboard boat race. Respect....
From this picture...I can tell that Hans has a lot of complains about his partner on the boat. Knowing Cmdr Kenny, I'm pretty sure he made/threathened/forced Hans to paddle by his own all around the lake. Haha...hats off to my Cmdr. Kenny! Thats the way, bro...show them who's boss!
More oldie goldies! Here we have Cmdr. Huei Lin and Cmdr Sherlyn having a splashing good time together in the lake. Great to have you join us for camp!
The scenes during the Camporama 2009 opening ceremony! Yup...indeed it was a colourful, noisy, gempak and absolutely rockin' morning during camp! Everyone was excited and looking forward to even more exciting days ahead! As someone said about MJ, "You could feel the electricity in the air...".
Good day, campers. Please meet my friends from Japan! Here we have the Geishas, the Sumo Twins, a lost Mexican, and little Ninja boy!
As expected, the Indians will fight with anything and everyone. Here we see Mr Terence Singh is King squaring off with Japan City Mayor, Mr. Andy San. All for show...and it was a good show, boys! ;)
Here we have the Sumo Twins doing a little dance performance for Mr. Singh. Taken from the song "Do the Boogey"...You put your backside in, you put your backside out. You put your backside in, and shake it all about!" Haha...
"You do the boogey boogey and you turn around. Thats what its all about! HEY!"
Ladies and gentlemen...presenting you, the GMA Achievers - class of 2006 - 2008! Congrats to everyone who made it this far. A special congratulations to Cmdr. William Ong and Cmdr. Kevin Chin who achieved this remarkable feat! Such a waste that Mr Pilot couldn't be here with us...guess the parachute plan or 'curi the plane' tactic didn't work out eh? 
Here we have our honourable General Superintendant of the AOG Malaysia, Pas Ong Sek Liang presenting the special Camporama flag to Cmdr. Andy and the rest of the participating churches. It was truly an honour to speak to him, and hear him share his vision and admiration for the RR ministry. Together, lets continue to pray for him and stand together with his family in prayer.
More scenes from the Opening Ceremony...the campsite looks absolutely beautiful during the morning, with the morning dew and mist surrounding the area.
Once again, the last pic of the day goes to none other than ranger Kelly Yap! Thank you for the "Yes, I am happy and you know it!" smile of yours that causes others to smile too. God bless!Ok friends. The time is now 1.30am. Its been a good time looking through the hundreds of Camporama pics and I'll be sure to share more during the next post.
