Anyways, left the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM; this is the last time I'll be typing our the full name 0.0) building around 3-4PM with Nick, Jason, Shannon, Aiden and Trebor (yes, it's Trebor, not Trevor). Reached the place about an hour later? The place is so chilly, something like Genting Highlands back at home, minus all those rides though. The place is so beautiful, neat and clean. Makes me wanna move there 0.0 Haha! The dorms are awesome too. There were only like, 18-20 of us but we had 4 rooms that had 6 beds in each room... Yeap, we got loads of space. Our evening was kinda laid back. We played Spud and Kickball before dinner. Dinner came late though xD. Christina and Jerome came kinda late, they were in charge of the food. Jerome cooked some awesome chili for us... IT TASTED SO GOOOOOOD! It's not spicy or anything but it's still nice. Then we had devotion which was so good. Nick is a really good preacher/sharer or however you like to call a person who shares/preaches in a devotion session (0.o). After the devotion, we had SMORES! Marshmallow, melted over a campfire, eaten with chocolate and two Graham crackers... Yes, REAL smores 0.0 It tasted awesome!
After the smores part, we celebrate Shannon's and Rachel's birthday. Was kinda like a surprise party. The cake was awesome. Christina baked it. We were supposed to have fun playing some games and stuff, but most of the participants were sleepy already. They slept uber early for these kinds of retreats 0.0 Well, I stayed up with a few people to play some Uno and Poor Man, Rich Man. It seems that the Uno rules we play back in Malaysia is wrong 0.o Gosh!
Woke up kinda early this morning. Played Pictionary while waiting for others to wake up. Then we had an awesome devotion. We did it outdoors and Nick was speaking about the "wilderness". At the end of the session, he asked us to just like, go to a certain spot that they wanna go (trees, bushes, flower beds) and just enjoy the moment, let God's creation rejuvenate us. It was so awesome.
After devotion we played Spud and Kickball again. It's so frigging fun! We also played some frustrating games as well, like those Black Magic and Bang Bang Bang, Who Dies kinda games that you guys like to play in Malaysia....
Overall, it was worth it! Worth the U$D20 I spent! Wait, money is not the matter here, worth every second I spent in the retreat. Thank God. Glory to Him.
