CF Spiritual Compass camp 2010 - Day One

12 Oct 2010
Jensen and I woke up early in the morning, getting ready to go for the camp. We only managed to sleep for about 4-5 hours. Both of us loaded our bags and went to pick up Chipmunk (Mel Hor) and Goldfish (Renjie) again before meeting up with other campers at the bus stop opposite the basketball court.

The UTAR bus soon arrived and the campers boarded the bus. Then, the journey began with the bus leading the way followed by cars driven by Jensen, Mr K and Kelvin Wong (alone). In the middlie of the journey, Mr K went another way to pick up someone else. All the remaining vehicles headed towards Setapak to pick up campers from there.

Soon, the campers made a stop at the Setapak campus and had lunch there. Then later, those campers from Setapak boarded the bus and the journey began again. It was a long journey and everyone was enjoying the view during the trip.

When all the vehicles were at PD, all the drivers were trying their best to locate the camp site. After searching for a while, we finally arrived at Golden Sands. And when I got down from Jensen's car, Derk gave me a warm hug since he hasn't seen me for quite some time. And we chatted while waiting for the rest to get off the bus.

Then, all the campers gathered at the hall in Golden Sands after long hours of travel. First they unloaded their bags and placed them in the compound near the office and gathered at the hall. There, all the campers got to know one another through a simple ice-breaking session. Later, a camp booklet and name tag were distributed to each camper. And the campers gathered their respective groups according to the list available in the booklet.

Afterwards, all the campers were given a briefing about the whole camp and later assigned to rooms and dorms. Of course, the guys and girls were separated and they stayed in different rooms and dorms but all the campers were under one roof (i.e they're staying in the same block). All the campers went to get their bags and moved into their respective places of stay and took a short rest before preparing themselves for the rest of the day.

Then, it's time for dinner. As all the campers were enjoying their meal, Dr Leong Tien Fock announced his arrival. The campers greeted him and he joined us for dinner. The next agenda of the day was the 1st praise and worship session, followed by message by Dr Leong. That was the 1st of 4 messages he's gonna share throughout the camp. All his messages were about how to find direction in our daily lives, which was the purpose of this camp.

When Dr Leong was done sharing his sermon, it's time for supper. All the campers had a brief supper before returning to their respective dorms. Then lights off!
