nscfl 2010 - day 3.

[All camp photos by Kenny Chong]

Restaurant City - This was the day that felt like a mini Law Orientation.

looking as if he was born to be royalty. -_-

 

took a riot to get daniel out of his room. =P

Difference #1: Some of the campers seemed to enjoy it.

There were a few attempts at stand-up comedy, which... well, just note the look on my face la.

from left: chang ling, jy, marianne, jen, lisanne, cindy.

 

If it wasn't for the total lack of mayonnaise (which was not the campers' fault), they would've made an officer very happy that day. [Footnote to evaluation form - officers to bring a jar of mayonnaise each the next camp]

Difference #2: The officers returned the favour after the event. The first favour the campers got was a warm welcome back into the hall.

The second would come on the last night of camp. =) And no, it wasn't like the Law Fac's Royal Simbah at all. Aha.

I personally thought it was funny how everyone moved on with their lives after Restaurant City, as if the event never happened.

Jason took the boys for their BGR session.

 

Marianne took the girls.

Marianne handled the session in a way I've never heard before (and I am a HUGE fan of BGR sessions =P). I won't blog the five pages of notes I wrote for this session - just this:

Our understanding of love should be shaped

by our relationship with God,

based on our understanding of His Word

and of the Gospel.

 

Godly sort of love can't be conjured up by ourselves.

God provides us with the power to love in a godly way.

Godly love should be other-person-centred, not self-centred.

Love isn't just something we get, it's also something we give.

Smarter love is aimed at being blameless and pure.

Seek someone who can lead you towards this kind of love.

And in return, 

Lead him also to holiness.

And,

Besides the usual "does he like me?",

the big question to ask before entering into a relationship,

is,

“Can I see myself married to this man?”

Difference #3: The reason for Restaurant City was explained, that is, to show them what true service is – being the servant of all, and to show them that everyone is wired differently. Service is to serve where you are needed most and where you can give your best. Some were the heads of the crew; others worked with their hands; and still others, gave their hearts for the crew.

Also, the officers apologized for if we offended anyone. (I think this might be one of the biggest differences. Haha.)

As for Roshan’s session – live your life in such a way that at the end of it, you will be able to say:

“Lord, I gave You my life.

I fully trusted You.

I fought the good fight.

Now,

take me home.”
