Kem Pengawas

I didn't want to go for the camp as my piano exam is just one day after the camp.. (no time to revise) but because most of the people didn't want to go when they know that i'm not going.. so i was forced to go.. so much for my friends to join the camp.. haiz

but after the camp, I didn't regret joining the camp.. because I have another testimony to share! Here it goes...
Prefects are leaders. So, every leader has to know how to speak to influence the people. Likewise, we need to learn how to speak.. Every member in the group was given a topic to talk about. Then he/she is to speak in front of the group.. Then, 1 will be picked to represent the group to compete for the 1st place (5marks). Fortunately/unfortunately, I was chosen again to represent my group..

The topic was not being prepared.. all the public speakers have to pick the topic and then talk about it on the spot... The speech depends a lot on the topic.. and I was praying that I would get this particular topic.. because we know the topics that we are suppose to choose from.. its just that we don't know which one will we get because its all in random.. and........... to my greatest suprise, out of the 12 topics there, I got exactly the topic I want!!!the percentage of choosing that particular topic is 12% and I managed to do it... And God did not call me to be a leader without equiping me... My group won that 5 marks for public speaking! yay!!!

I realise that when I ask anything from Him, He will give it to me. I just have to ask..that is the love of my Heavenly Father.. ANYTHING!! Anything at all! I was so touched that I nearly cried... He loves me! Everything I ask for,it was given to me..

EXCEPT if it is not his will..

1 example at camp...
Overall, ,my group lost to 'JOSE RIZAL'.. I asked God why... then this thought began to penetrate through my mind..

My team will only win if I am leading the team.. through the past experiences.. Group 4 won 1st place when I lead the team. But many times, my team only got 2nd or 3rd because I wasn't leading, but active in the team...

so... I believe this was what God wanted to show me... I didn't want to be SYARIF MASAHOR's group leader because I wanted to give others a chance. especially the form 5s. I didn't want them to graduate secondary school without haveing the feeling of being a leader...

I finally understood the essence of leadership through this camp... A leader must have God's anointing... The Lord will prepare me to lead and I will be willing to learn and improve myself.

Through this camp, I also learn that I must never be an autocratic leader/lassez faire but I must be a leader of democracy.. I must listen to the opinions of the people...

We had lots of fun and laughed together with the fascilitators.. they were so funny.. I totally respect the camp commander.. he is very disciplined but at the same time he is not creating a gap between the campers and himself... Abang Izat... is his name... He does laugh =D just like dad said... without discipline, there is no success..so, the disciplinary board in Badan Pengawas is going to have a lot of modifications after this.. this i can ensure you... just wait and see... Li Meng and Leonard are going to be forced to the limit to maximise the discipline of the prefects... all you prefects of SMK TSJ BEWARE!!

this camp was one of the best I've been to otrher than Grace Youth Camp, RIMUP, and Youth Holiday Camp.. because of the fun and games and the bond with each other and the bond with the fascilitators.. although we only had a short 2 days and 1 night to spend with each other, but I look forward to have the prefects working well with me and also the Board of Directors (AJK) all 7 of us will be united and the Badan Pengawas will be motivated to move to greater heights to achieve greater things together...

Amen!
