Gone and Going

Where had I been? Tadah! Sorry-LAH guys I was too lazy to update my blog. It's lucky enough for you all that I'm updating tonight ;)

Well, let me brief what I have done for the past few weeks which I haven't been blogging. First of all, I joined the 4days short-term missionary camp to Bau. It's my second time joining missionary camp. I would say I enjoyed this camp very much! Before the camp, I was thinking, "oh man, it's gonna be torturing for the next 4days." Day by day passed, I found myself loving the camp more and more. I got to know the families from the villages in Bau through conversation. You might be wondering, " do they speak English? Mandarin? " No! There's not many who can communicate in English and Mandarin. That's why we had to speak using BAHASA MALAYSIA. That's the most challenging part of the camp as many of us seldom communicate in Bahasa Malaysia. Anyways, God had his planned flowing smoothly. There's Chinese in some of the villages and we got brothers and sisters to share the 'good news' with them. Through the camp, I learned that the people of Bau still counting on crops for their living. Cempedak, langsat and durian can be easily gotten there. We're blessed enough to have fruits throughout the visiting. Hehehe. Besides, I got to enjoy the beauty God has created. Every little grass, every single tree, every hill, every cave, they were so pretty! Especially when the sun was setting, when the sunlight was just about to go off to the other side of the Earth, that's the moment you feel peace and calm in yourself. Arhh~ The beauty of nature.

Secondly, it was the musical concert held at MBKS. People might ask, what do you have to do with that concert? Singing? No. Dancing? No. Guess what? It was my first time getting my hands down on the lighting effects. People might never noticed the effort of a lighting supervisor. Like the rests saying, the main focus is the performances! Yes, it is right. But, a right lighting effect can build up the atmosphere. Can you imagine watching a theatre with all the lights on all the way? During the setting of materials on the stage too? Haha. I bet you don't like it. That's why we have lighting supervisor! But that's just part of it. There's more to learn about it and I'm glad that I had Simon, a worker there to guide me. I've learned something new! Hehe.

I guess that's all for now, nothing much recently. Oh ya, notice the title? " Gone and Going ". Stay tuned! ;)
