Feels Like Home...

Good morning, rangers and friends!

Yup...the time now is 5am! Oh well, today's a Saturday and its also Merdeka weekend (which means its gonna be a long weekend for all of us!). Hoooray! For those of you rangers in Aussie and NZ-ie...too bad for you. Go celebrate your National Sheep/Kangaroo day ok? Haha. I guess its time I broke my silence and gave you guys some valuable and latest updates on whats been happening around town, and all across the nation!

Well, for starters...this one paragraph is specially dedicated to my buddy Samson, who's finally out of the hospital and getting some good rest and alone-time, recovering from the recent flu bug. Many thanks to all those who prayed around the clock for healing and a speedy recovery. We hope to see him around soon enough and let him share his story of personal victory and faith...amen! You're in our prayers, bro!

Samson Yap! The first in GT Klang to be a part of the 'global movement'...:)

Well, its been more than 2 months since we had a blast of a time in Camporama 2009! I thought I'd take a few moments to post up some memorable shots and share with you some inspiring moments we've had together in the camp. Most of these pics tell of amazing times together, and moments that will be remembered for a long long time. And yes, this will be the last post for Camporama 2009, and we look forward the the next national gathering with much anticipation.

For all those who made it for Camporama 2009....Jaiho and Ohaiyo! :) Long live the memories!

Everytime I look at this pic, it just puts a smile on my face. A city beautifully transformed overnight, by people who were dedicated and committed to giving the very best for Camporama 2009! To all the advanced party team, this one's for you!

Who could forget this moment...when President Roosevelt (Hans) gave his inspiring speech to the Americans, signalling their intent to put an end to the war, being surrounded by photographers and reporters. Soo so cute!

China City Archway! Its been great fun having the Chinese people in Camporama 2009! Great sportsmanship and friendship displayed throughout the camp. God bless all of you, KL#1! Intercity Champions...you guys deserve it! :)

Here's Cmdr. Kenny going back to his roots and trying his luck with the chinese top! Not too bad, I reckon. Looking at this pic, seems like he's on a good start!

Everyone loves the water sports! Just look at Kelly's expression and you'll definitely agree with me! Haha....Su Vien was pretending to paddle hard for the cameras. :)

And yes, everyone remembers our beloved Sumo twins! Throughout the camp, the Sumo boys/girls have been a mascot for Japan City, and a real crowd-puller. Just getting yourself into the suit and having a fight with your mates, or watching your friend bump around in it puts a smile to your day! Thumbs up, Japan!

Ahhh...my 'favourite' station...the Sushi Palace. Beautiful, elegant, and serene...everything seems so perfect until they forced me to pop down a sushi filled with wasabi! Haha. Naturally, not a very manly sight for me after that...:)

The night rallies were awesome! Its simply amazing to see how God moves in the heart of His people. It was a very special moment seeing the leaders praying for their rangers, and the rangers in return praying for their commanders. Our prayer is that this ministry will continue to raise up leaders for the next generation!

India City...bright and colourful as ever! Here's Su Vien keeping in touch with her Indian side and having fun with the hanna drawings. Looking at this pic suddenly made me hungry for some banana leaf rice. Anyone wanna join me?

Another mascot for Camporama 2009...the infamous Australian Kangaroo (which looks like a dog)! Who could forget the moment when the poor creature had to be retired during the morning parade due to lack of oxygen...:)

Australia City in all its splendour! Champions - Best Archway Competition. Awesome stuff, guys...definitely one of the most photographed scenes in camp!

Awww...isn't that a lovely sight? The cheetah-boy sleeping next to the tiger. Haha! For me, this was personally one of the most memorable moments during camp.

The entire Sel #6 family got together in a circle to pray for one another and for the group! There is power in prayer...and power in unity. Remember to always stick as ONE.

The redeemed standing victorious and free! This is like a scene from World Cup. :)

When we worshipped, we gave our best for the Lord. With hands lifted up and hearts pouring out praises and worship to Jesus, giving all glory to God for the victory He won. God moved powerfully, and I hope you were blessed.

Daniel the Guitarman...all smiles and its always a good sight to see God's people beaming with joy! Cekap la bro...:)

The ever-famous character in camp...Singh is King! Everytime I say those words...I get images of his face looking at me menacingly when I sleep! Haha...and do check out his moustache. Classic stuff, wei...makes me wanna get my own set!

Jai Ho! India City 2009...they definitely got us movin' and pumping to the music!

Folding of the Camporama flag and handing it over to Camp Commander. One thing's for sure...You can look forward to Camporama 2013 with much anticipation and excitement! :)

Take a bow, bro. Here's Japan City Mayor - Andy San. The man that held the ship together for Sel #6! Well done, chief...

National Commander, Pastor Gideon Lee handing out the City Synergy Champions trophy to Japan Mayor at the closing ceremony of the camp! This one's specially for all of you citizens of Japan for making it possible...thank you for your support and unending screaming and shouting! Haha...

And finally...Japan City group pic! For the hi-res version of this pic, just click on it and save the image that appears. Many thanks to Cmdr. Kenny for this lovely group shot!


Alright...I'm almost done here. Its been a hectic 3 weeks for me. Took a short vacation to give myself a breather from the busy-ness of life. A week later, we were all at church camp 2009 in Awana, and it was absolutely fun and refreshing being with God and His people. And yes, here we are...Merdeka weekend! Main item on the list - Rest & Relax!

All the best to the 12 brave rangers who will be undergoing their Sel #6 Best Ranger testing in less than 4 hours time! You'll be sure to receive updates and news concerning this stressful and fun activity! Let's hope they all come out of it unscathed and alive! Haha...all the best, rangers! And yes...try not to drive the leaders mad. :)

God bless and do get some much needed rest over the weekend k? See ya all in RR meeting this Sunday. Adios...

Carpe Noctum.
