It was a surprise when Ps Chew Mae informed me that i have a place in YQ. i really didn't know how to react. Earlier, i ran every possible mile to register for a place after the submission of registration forms by Ps CM. You see, it was gotong-royong in church and i did not manage to hand in my form to Ps CM on time. i end up thinking that maybe God did not want me to attend YQ.
2 weeks later, i announced that im not going to YQ. Pastor CM told me to get Aunty Choi Quin's address or email or whatever.... i don't remember what else. She even helped me to call Aunty CQ. This was what i heard from Ps CM... 'hello, may i speak to Choy Quin? Har, driving? Sorry, call you later...' Sigh. I e-mailed her but no reply. The last thing i did was asking Uncle Christopher to help me pass the form straight to Aunty CQ. Failed. Uncle Christopher said that the number of participant was full. Aiyar... by the way, thanks Uncle Christopher... However, i learned how to praise God even when im in a not-so-happy-situation. You see, number of participants reached the limit. Wasn't that worth enough to praise our Heavenly Father?
Yalar... perhaps God wants other young people who need Him more to attend YQ. Since that, i never thought of going to YQ anymore.
About 1 week before YQ, on a Friday night, my sis told me to ring Ps CM. And guess what? i've got a place. This is because Joash had to attend the BB awards camp. Although i always think that BB, especially 1st KL company always make the members to attend a lot of things and it's a waste of time, but now i hav to thank them because of the camp, im able to go to YQ. Also thanks to Joash.
Now, everything was done. i only hav to wait for the day. Everything in YQ was fun. I met a lot of new friends. However, not many of my old friends from YLDP last yr remember me. So bad... cannot blame them anyway.
My group was Yoel. yeah, YOEL ROCKS! i was the only GMC guy. since Joash is 14 so he's in family 1. Younger people will go to younger groups. And since i'm taking his place, i had to do my devotion and group discussions with friends range from 13 to 15. IM THE OLDEST AMONG THEM!!!
The most embarass thing that happen in YQ was on the third day. We went for outdoor activities. In the station with tunnels, STRENGTH i guess, i tried on the monkey swing. Below was a pool of dirty water with some tadpoles. Some of us call it 'tadpole soup'. For everytime i tried, i fell in. I don't remember how many times i tried. There was twice i fell in flat on the surface. The whole Yeremiah was watching. SOOOOO EMBARASS... Later, when i tried again, my group member Abishua holded me when i reached the end. I managed to swing over the tadpole soup!!! Thanks Abi...
On the same night, i was asking myself... what's the purpose of God giving me a chance to come here? i felt that it was all well planned, just that i don't know what was God's purpose for me. This really disturbed me. I told Ai Mie and Rekha. Then i thought maybe God wants me to make friends. But it couldn't be only that. No answers satisfied me because nothing in YQ gave me a big impact.
After YQ ends, i reached home and think of it once again. Then this came to my mind. Perhaps God wants me to meet a friend and take care of him when he's sick and be a good friend of his. Perhaps. Hmmmm... That friend was from KL Wesley. He happened to be in the same primary school with me but i didn't know him earlier. During the outdoor activities, he fell sick and i was concerned about him. His dorm was just beside mine, so whenever i go back to my dorm, i'll wake him up either for meals or activities. Why so good to him? He helped me a lot during the outdoor activities mar...
For the moment, that hypothesis... errr...answer was the only one that satisfies me so far. The real conclusion is yet to be discovered. Anyway, all praise to God for the plans that we could hardly predict and comprehend, yet so wonderful and amazing...
