i want to go bak...

----- edit on Feb. 22nd 2006 ------

alright finally have the time to talk bout retreat...well let's just say it will for sure be one of those trips that i'll always rmb hahaha

well first day it took us 6 hours to get our lodge..haha well for all my sjab ppl...let's juss say the tradition of havin a car stuck each time i go to camp was not broken hahahaha...well bak to my story...took us forever to get to collingwood..crazee snow blowing everywhere...n seein how our directions wasnt the greatest n how itz all dark outside n we cant find our way...yah doesnt help...n i finally understand the concept of ZERO visibility..it happened couple of times that nite..n we were forced to just stop on the road..

finally we get to collingwood but still cant find our lodge..ended up at A&P around 12 at nite...found out one of the cars r slipping n sliding up a hill..n our pastor's car was already stuck in a ditch on the same hill...so a bunch of chinese ppl hit up A&P to ask for directions as well as buy Kitty Litter LOL

on the way to the "dangerous" hill...andrew's suv gets stuck in da ditch...3 ski patorl guys from blue mountain comes n saves us ..n drives away in the darkest...surely God was lookin out for us that night..surely ..tho no matter how fustrating n annoying that nite might have been..our fellowship stuck together like a family..n grew closer together...

lastly we cant forget bout the ladybugs that swarm our kitchen..."brokeback blue mountain"...finally an OAC picture...dare poker on the first nite...our worship n message sessions..our sharing times...n the puzzled look everyone had after communion lol

God was surely with us that weekend..n truly spoke to us..n that are long and treacherous journey to Scott Mission's Lodge simply resulted to one of the most memorable retreats ive been to...

change in perspective...

for those that didnt kno..i woke up from wed till today..ive been pretty sick..body juss wouldnt go n e more...

wed: got to work .n threw up...try to fight it out...after an hour or so couldnt take it n e more n went home...threw up sum more...went to nap...woke up got 102 fever...took sum medicine..made sum congee (tasted horrible i cant make congee)...planted my butt on the couch n didnt want to move..body aching..head exploding..by the time i was goin to sleep at nite..still had 101 fever..

thurs: woke up..still got fever..juss wouldnt go away...i was actually kinda worried ..juss never seen a fever that wont go away b4...but at least i was eatin more than just congee (so not fillin)

n now still gettin better..fever gone...went to the doctor's n got sum medicine..hopefully it works...i dont think ive ever brokedown like that b4...not emotionally but just physically...like my body telling me to stop n despite me tellin it keep pushin it...it juss wouldnt start..itz crazee feelin so weak n unable to do n e thing at all..every step felt like a hammer was bein pounded into my head..but surely n thankfully God was there the whole time...takin care of me...hearin my prayers..givin me the rest that i needed...n now truly learning how to rest...even my parents pointed that to b the cause of my problem..my lack of rest..my lack of downtime..funee thing is i think i slack off a lot hahaha

other random things i learned:
i) according to sum ppl Gatorade is a wonder drug for stomach problems
ii) change my idea of some ppl
