Yesterday was the first day for 3 days server's camp organized by the parish with 40 participants from various chapels under the parish, such as from Duras, Mambok Bau, Seratau, 13th mile and 12th mile.

I was invited by me server advisor to joined the camp for one day only with other members as a team for the camp, our chief, the advisor himself, the chief from Batu Kawa and also the advisor from Lutong (the Lutong guy......hahaha). The day fill with experiences, memorable and loving trip from the cathedral to the location of the camp. I has had met with many participants and it was very encouraging camps and yet showing positive participation base on commitment and cooperation by the participants. In term of gender participation for the camp, the males and females particapants have shown equal indication that no such female more than male or, vice versa. Before the commencement of the talks or sharing session after our arrival probably around almost 5pm, we were greet and welcomed by the camp programmer, Peterson Matthew
and after that I took the opportunity for photography upon our arrival.

After all, we started our session of with introduction of each of us. I'm so glad because I can shared my experiences and testimonial with them of being as a server and spoken in bidayuh language as my sharing language medium. I also told them that being a server is priority of serving God and not the human being. May God be gracious to them in wherever they serve in each of their church or chapel.

In mid of night, the atmosphere became felt chilled as the church located at the top hill, the session continued again by the chief and the adviser. Many of them impressed and started to asking question. Its showing that they are getting to know further and thinking out of the box.
Practical session also conducted of showing Eucharist equipment preparation by Stacy. Some members have been called to try their skills of arranging the equipment after demonstrated by Stacey.

Again, this memorable camp is never to be forgotten in my mind moreover, it benefits every of us including myself, to upgrade and updated my serving skills particularly when during serving in the church and also to serve the heavenly Father in His service.

I hope this blog can show my appreciation to all those concerned, our team, very great team and also the participants, may God guide them to good path and may God lead them to excellent serving. More photos and illustrations can be viewed in my Friendster and Facebook profile, please do free to add me and I'll be delighted to see you. May God be gracious to everyone of us, now and eternally.

Eat With Former Classmates

Eating With Former Secondary Peers!

This afternoon we have spent am awesome and pretty moment with Crystal and Jack who have just flew back to Kuching from capital city. It is a long decade ago we havent meet with each others since after completed our secondary school times. We're still remembered what we have achieved and targeted during the school days while regular meeting as a Christian club fellows on every friday after class session.

As usually we have contacted with others through SMS and we decided to met at the Spring mall. We having lunch together at HongKong food outlet, and many delicacies we were ordered, all are very appetized and thirsty-looking drinks. Crys and Jac have no idea what to order and what drinks to prefer but I asked them to choose whichever that they thought good to eat since this is their first time visit to the outlet. During the lunch, a lot of topics we have arose, things happen from the pastr during our school time until our future planning lifestyle like marriage, boy-girl friends, and many more. We felt very delighted and warmly felt during the session and it seem that we're unable to away from the outlet.

When our foods and drinks delivered, we served the foods and enjoyed it. Jack eat his pork noodles and butter bread, while Crys, just see the photo. I was eating pork noodle too and mother nature drink. Every of us eat the foods in silent moment for a while to taste the foods. After that we're shoting again in front the camera as memory keeping.

Finally I was purchased and able to had have the thing that I assume to had last time, the Canon new released digital camera. Thanks God so much for the gift and for Him is truly deserved our worship and grateful. Even though there were many difficulties and distress emotions before grabbed my dream camera. This time I can snap and shot any scenes or decriptions that I will ever never miss again. I can shot beautiful and nice paradise if i able to meet, good situation and most importantly to shot pretty loved lady (if they are so).

Briefyly say here about Canon A2000, a new released A series or model by Canon middle of the year and price can be assume quite reasonable for what I paid for the features it have and offered, like awesome LCD screen, high resolution and brigther flash according to the situation of shooting places. I had tried to shot in the dark location, very wonderful picture out when those enitred dark scene is as clear as during daytime or during morning sunshine brights.

The color of the model is available in one choice which is silver with grey color. Unless A1000 there are 4 colors options to choose ranging from grey with silver, ocean blue, purple and gold brown. I like A1000 purple color as it bright and modern color but the features it had not suit my need, good pixel and zoom. Whatever, the most important is the quality

pictures of the photos and not the appearance of the product.

I will looking forward for any scenes to shot and snap and hoefully every result of shoting I got will satisfied my basis needs not as what a professional photographer wants! :> Thanks alot the Creator who fulfill His people hunger and thirst. :>
