ok there are lots of things i wanna update bout.

i will try to recall the many things tt happen to me.

firstly the por trip. it took us 12 hrs to get to davao la. i experience alot of things which i would nvr imagine of lor. i did lots of things which i nvr imagine doing, i try lots of things. i ate ALOT during the trip. i eat lyk double the portion of food of wht other ppl eat lor, sometimes i hlp ppl to eat their food. i got to experience the life of a missionary. made new/closer frens. most imptly, i drew closer to god.

we visited afew churches. the tribal churches at Marahan and Maluan, the baragay church at tagum city, at lastly the town church. it was really an eye opener to see god works especially in Maluan. it really dwell upon me tt i am really blessed. we were welcome by the kids in Maluan with a song.

there was a church service at maluan. during the worship, the adults and the kids really worship god man. we could feel the pressence of the holy spirit there, the are not afraid to worship god. and it really move me to tears man. i cant really explain it to u, u need to see it for yourself.

the few things i got to do in this trip.

- i got to take a motorcycle. it was my first time( i noe i am sua ku ). i took it without wearing a helmet! in sin, u can nvr ever do tt lor.
- we went to paradise island and i did snorkelling for the first time. it was quite scary at first. but i tell u it was worth it. i do not noe how to swim so i am a little terrify but it was so beautiful. got to swim with the fishes and touch sea urchin. saw a sea snake, it was just pure beauty.
- i got to be in a VIDE ministry during the destination concert. surprise right? it was really an experience. it was my first time and my first time happen to be such a mega event. i was the cable guy which basically coil and uncoil wire. i was a little slow at first. very nervous also. i was hlping evans. being a vider may look easy but it is quite stressful lor. i was on stage most of the time. and my mum even introduce me on stage lor. quite embrassing actually. if i ever got to join another ministry, it will be the vide ministry.

what i love bout the philippines.
- the FOOD! we were well fed man. my best meal was at a place called banonks(hope i got the spelling right.) it happen to be our last dinner at philippines. i ate alot alot alot!!!! they serve the rice with a very big bbq chicken i ate lots of pork there too. it was the best pork ribs i ever eaten, very soft and juicy. yum yum.
- everything in the philippines was damn CHEAP. e.g a pizza hut meal for 2 is lyk only $4. FOR 2 !!!!!!! pizza hut!!!! so i come to conclusion tt we have been cheated of our money in sin)=

things i learn.
- i learn tt i am very blessed. i should stop complaining and whining. the ppl in there lead a much more poorer life there. and they nvr seem to complain or whine bout anything. while we here in sin just love to whine and whine.
- we need to go all out for souls. it wasnt easy for pastor wee, pastor christine and ena to go and reach out to the ppl in davao. they had to walk miles and miles and they face rejection but they nvr gave up. they fulfilled god calling upon their life. i have been so blessed and learn lot of things in this trip.

Thanks.
- i would lyk to thank god for everything. his protection upon us thru out the trip.
- I would lyk to thank pastor quee beng and my dad for leading us in this trip.
- thank pastor wee, pastor christine, ena, bro winston, sis tal, bro valentino, pastor jordin, and evryone else in EFC davao for their warm hospitality.
- thank the por team especially bernice, virnice, lydia and evans( these are the few ppl i spend the mst time with.) for spending the time with me.
- thank ______ for your funny acts which made me laugh most of the time.

tt all for the por trip.

secondly, the AMAZING AMAZONIA.
did not have any rest at all. but thank god for giving me strength to survive the tkk camp. it was an enjoyable time for the kids. although most of programmes were changed due to the rain, the kids still had an enjoyable time.

DAY ONE.
reached bout 9+ the kids came at 10. the first activity they had was to build a jeep and my grp ( squirrel monkey ) jeep doesnt look at a jeep at all lor. den it was chicken rice for lunch.
it was morning service and after tt was outdoor challenge. but sadly it rained so the kids just went to the indoor bouldering gym to do some rock climbing. i was kinda looking forward to these gym and sadly sone of the kids can really climb btr den i do lor. haha. jonathan ang can really climb lyk a monkey lor. we walked back to church and was mcchicken for dinner. pastor marion came and share an impacting msg to the kids. indeed, the greatest miracle is a change life. the msg not only convicted the heart of the children but also the teacher as well. den we had chicken wing for supper too. the whole day was chicken. the kids also had drama too.

DAY TWO
got woken up at 5 by the kids, gave them a gd scolding for waking me up. den was devotion and i had to lead in the great amazonian stretch( it was some exercise la) was very kind to the kids already. did not torture them. haha. we had word explorer and den morning service. pontian was for lunch. next was outreach. it was very quiet and not much kids to outreach too. but thankfully we still managed to get afew contact. next was chicken chop rice for dinner. miss the sharing by choo chye as had to go and prepare for the night hike. in the end it was cancel due to the rain in yishun but the weather was gd in maritchie, but we went to airport instead. supper was popeyes! and den the kids can choose to watch ratatouille or slp. i watch awhile and was lyk dozing off so i went to bathe and slp.

DAY THREE.
BREAK CAMP!
nothing much on tt day. mostly we clean the church. i reach home bout 3.
tt all for the tkk camp. the kids really enjoy themselves.

SWEET NOVEMBER.
had testimonies from pastor quee beng, my dad, christopher and virnice. and it was sweet sweet after tt.

HDS one day edition.
i won the 5 a side soccer. not thanks to me la. haha it was an enjoyable time. have lots of ben and jerrys ice cream to eat already. YUM YUM.

ENCHANTED WITH MIC. JAS AND NEL.
after church went to watch enchanted. i had the sudden craving to watch any show in the cinema. it had been awhile since i watch a movie at a cinema. enchanted was quite crappy and lame la. it was some fairy tale storyline. it was crap and lame but funny also. overall it is ok la.

HOF CAMP!
it was not the best camp i had. but it was an enjoyable. the service was awesome. pressence of god nvr failed to be in our midst. i was able to feel the pressence of god in very service especially on the last nite. Rev steven kum was really an awesome camp speaker and god anointing was always on him. it was raining there was some change of plans. the immunity challenges was quite stupid except for the tug of war which RAYAKS won! woots! the volleyball sack thingy was stupid same goes for the three legged soccer. i played the three legged soccer tt after tt tiring 10 mins, my whole leg was red and it was damn painful la. we also had the reward challenge which was the setting up beach front( where most of cuts came from. those logs and branches.) had survival games and beach sports. thank god i did not get exile at all. haha. on the final night, we suppose to have a campfire but it was raining so we had our campfire indoor. each tribe(region) had to come out with a tribal song and dance and a tribal drama. rayaks won the drama. it was extremely funny lor. haha. overall, i think RAYAKS was the overall champion for the camp.

and the hotel was one of the worst hotel i ever stay in. it was full of insects lor. there were lot of things i saw in the hotel which was quite interesting. there was stick insect, a damn big bettle, scorpion, SNAKE( nvr seen one which not behind a glass before.) and many other insect la. the food was ok for me. not very nice. the things in the hotel is damn expensive.
