Broga Hill Outbac

What? Again? Not bored meh??

Hehe… This time i went there with my fellows youth groups. Which is in combinations of teens, college teens and young working adults. This 3 groups age range is around 13 – 32 years old. Actually is not bored when u have a companion of laughter, good groups to be there.

 

Day One 

Before we start our journey, everyone was lingering around in church compound very happily because very curious of how does the place look like, exciting, seeing friends that cant see often. When the time we reach Outbac, everyone was feeling hot and sweating because of the weather is “really” too hot for everyone. Everyone was looking for shelter and air-cond if there is. When the workers there, Cecelia, Richard and Billy open up the main door for us, we were so happy to see our hall which we going to use for 4 days and 3 nights. Though the air-cond is not perfect enough for everyone, but we fill with joy seeing nature around us.

We have our first orientations, start with a simple introduction from our instructor, Billy and Cecelia. We checked in after the intro. Who knows, air-cond is not cold enough in the room. And makes everyone complain in da room. But is ok… As we know, is just a campsite, we do not expect it to be a 5-star hotel.

After arranging bed sheets, pillow, selecting the beds in the rooms, we moved on with our first session, “Don’t Be A Stranger”. Douglas planned the game “Guardian Angels”, which we did not played for a long time since 2003?. After taking owns papers for own mortal, we moved on to next programme to wash out, then dinner.

Is tiring for all of us to start our first sessions on the first day. Aiks…!! What to do, have to stay on awake for the session “HOLY or HOLEY”. And we do learn what Holy means.

H = Honoring God     

O = Obeying God       

L = Loving God         

Y = Yearning for God

Day Two

Wow.. waking up early for Broga Hill as planned. Tiring. 5am wake up. Sigh. Second times going up hill. Walking again.. Sob Sob  :’(   but kinda exciting to see da sun. Well, as normal being a facilitator have to guide people up. Is Amber again. Haha… Well, she made a good record this time. Reaching up faster than the first time. Though can’t see the sun, cause black clouds covering the sun but the view is still nice. Quite cold and i do enjoyed the time when on top of hill with Cecelia, Billy, Richard and Eve too. We had a few picture taken with Eve. :)

Then we walked down hill back to Outbac. Reaching there around 8.30am and is time for breakfast. Haha… Everyone was so hungry and never had enough of ‘Nasi Lemak’. Immediately finish breakfast, we had morning devotions.

Argh!!! Sleepy head wanting to sleep but still attending Session 2 that is “What is Worship?” Well this theme is a directed message on how to worship.

Worship is a lifestyle so does Holiness.

True worships is thru mind, emotions and will.

Wanting ZZzz… when attending Workshop 1 “Mid-Sex Crisis”. We actually were divided to boys and girls to tell out what makes a man, MAN and what makes a woman, WOMAN. A war happen in the room as we debating. Hehe.. But it all make clear by Pastor Augustine.

When time Pitstop, means resting,I straightly went to bed ZzZzzz… Can’t take it anymore. :P Then move on to game time which also organised by Douglas. Sigh… Helping out to watch them over thru the game. What a boring job and still remain sleepy.. haha… After game, everyone bathe, dinner bathe and here goes Session 3 “How to Stay Holy”

Luckily I’m a night ghost. Hehe… Actively stay awake at night time.

It tells us that life transforming is to be more like Christ.

“Be Salt and Light to all people”.

And Pastor Desmond, asking is there any people who would like to receive Christ as personal Saviour. And i was praying hard that there will be people who accept Christ in this camp. Silent on. Great news received when being asked for second time. There is… They are Qi Tyng, Joanne, Michelle, and  Katherine.

Praise the Lord!!

 

Day Three

After Session 4 ends, lunch with the game guardian angel. The whole day was free… Proceed with the outdoor games planned, then Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Flying Fox and Cycle. Outdoor games planned makes lotsa injuries to everyone. And I'm the only one who have to take care of them. I become a paramedic, caring the safety box all the time, here and there. Sigh… Exhausted but is fun to tortured them with yellow antiseptic. Haha…. :P

After all injuries being wrapped up, I myself also enjoyed all the activities. Having a great time with youths in the pool. :P

Every outdoor activities end at 6pm, as instructors demand. We went to shower up and be prepared for the finale session of fun. Having a simple skit with story line. The groups have to acted out accordingly. Really have a good laugh when it played.

Get to rest and enjoyed scenery before the sun rise. It was a nice weather and is so nice to finally seeing the sun rise. :P Haha.. And we rushed back to campsite for breakfast and morning devotions. Chee Wai thought of tapao some ‘bao’ for the youths. Thanks for Chee Wai for the company to uphill and the ‘bao’. Haha.. Laughed myself when i sapu all ‘bao’ from 2 shops. :P
