CG retreat 2006 (28-29 Oct)

Sunday, October 29, 2006 |9:50 PM

i just came back from the Cg retreat 2006.very tiring..but very fun as it was a good time of sharing our lives together & celebrating our dear "wu pou"- shufen birthday. kicked off the retreat by meeting @ east coast..thanks to HH & SF that this kind hearted couple drove us to east coast. XQ & Jem planned that we shall go kayaking! Hmzz..talking about kayaking, it's my first time that i'm doing it.though i have canoe in the past before. the girls - Shufen, shireen & me were making noise saying that we don't know how to kayak..so we decided to split up in the following:

- James & Shireen

- Hanhui & Shufen

- Jarain & Me

- Jianyang

We played some team building games @ the sea. Though the sun was blasting hot, but i really enjoyed myself. Thanks to XQ & Jem who really put in effort to plan the events.

The Cg checked into the Hotel Asia @ around 3pm and we headed to our rooms to wash up. Dinner was @ Balestier and the whole group had Bak Kut Teh. After that XQ gave us a task, we were split into 2 groups and we only have a $5 budget to buy breakfast for Sunday for the other group. Amazing how we were able to do it and my dear brothers & sisters bought me my favourite bread - Gardenia Raisin Bread.whaa.. "Ai Xin" breakfast.

Subsequently we made our way back to the hotel to celebrate SF birthday..yes..my "wu pou" turn 26. i'm so glad to have this sister in the cg. Her presence has really brought much joy into the group. HH & her is really a blessing to us.. Maybe the part of making me pray for her..should i put it as a privilege?? yeap the usual me..someone who's afraid to pray in a big group is slowly overcoming my fear. Thankie for giving me the chance.

After all the celebration, we had a short game about team building and XQ shared with us the things which will be happening this few months till Xmas..What are the roles we play?? The usual me..who talks non stop without thinking mutter this:

" My role is to lead you all into deeper worship with God! With keyboard, i'll lead you all into worship to meet God in an even deeper way!"

As i recall now, cham liao..i anyhow talk again! But if God really give me the talent in music, i really would like to bring my CG people deeper into His presence. well well...we all as Christ followers must love worshipping God..because when we go up to heaven, that's what we will be doing!

To end this post, i really wanna thank the brothers & sisters in my cg. The times we share, the ups & downs, it's through all these that the group will learn to place our trust in God that He's in the whole picture. Praise to Him!
