Detective Saviour’s Files

It’s Sunday, 1st of June 2008… 2156 hours…

The end. Camp Cameron 2008 closed its curtain on Friday with goodbyes, hugging, and cryings. Three weeks of camp and I can say that I had learnt a lot from the experiences I had with God and also with my family members.

I was staying with another 20 other people which we were called as a family and through the good and bad times, we pull ourselves along the journey. The laughing and crying moments in this camp is something I will not forget for the rest of my life.

I really experience God personally in this camp and seen how He struggle with me with my personal problems that had been haunting me all these while. To actually look back with all these problems was not an easy thing for me but I thank Him that He wanted me to help myself and also provided friends to be there for me.

Living together for 3 weeks could sound fun but there was always some problems here and there, especially regarding the bathroom and toilet since there is only one in each chalet. The girls were sleeping in the chalet and the guys will sleep in another place but all of our family meetings will be done in our own chalet.

Organize by the FES, I have to say that I really admire the effort and hard work that they had putted for this camp. It was indeed a success and I believe that they had seen a lot of the student’s life change after this camp and one of them is me. I finally know what is my mission that God had placed me in my family and also in my campus.

As one big family, I have a Grandpa, three Grandmas, an Uncle, an Aunty, a Papa, a Mama, three brothers, and nine sisters. So plus me and all together you have twenty-one in my family. My family is known as the Family of Chalet Ten or we also called ourselves as the LAME Family, because of our lame jokes. Haha…

I had taken some pictures of the memorial events I had there and I placed it soon in my friendster and also in my Facebook account. To be honest, there is just so much to say about the camp and I don’t think that I can write all here. Ask me personally if you want to know more and I’ll be happy to tell you.

On Friday when it was time for us to leave. I really feel like not leaving the camp site. The bond that I had with my family members was very intimate for me and I did my very best to hold back my tears as we all say our goodbyes and started to hug each other. But we promise to keep in touch.

Even now, I really miss all of them. Though we were always noisy but all of them had taught me what a true family is. On the last day, I read out my poem to them. It was a poem about my family and I will end my blog with it.

The Family of Chalet Ten (2008)

*

This is a story of our lovely family

The twenty-one of us may be crazy

But only six of their hair are curly

And there’s another two whom their hair are wavy

*

We have a Grandpa and three Grandmas

A caring Papa and a loving Mama

A uncle and a aunty who loves us so much

And thirteen cute cheeky children who cause them trouble

*

Grandpa Joshua is known as the irresistible grandpa

And that is why we have three grandmas

Grandma Swee Kit gave us all the good genes

But we wonder why we are naughty in our teens

*

In the second week, Grandma Grace was welcomed in the family

And thanks to her, our food is prepared with love and care

In the final week, Grandma Adrene was added to the family

She’s a cheerful person yet firm at her stand

*

Uncle Lucas flew all the way from Indonesia

Just to take care of us here in Malaysia

Aunty Mun Yee took care of us full with love

And that’s why by her action we are so moved

*

Papa Timothy is a man who loves sport

If you want to challenge him then meet him in the court

Mama Hooi Keng will make sure there’s breakfast before she sleep

And then join the girls to brush their teeth

*

Sun Sun is the eldest and she loves to smile

But we admire her for she sometimes will do the extra mile

Then come Melissa who is the quiet and gentle

With her gentleness, our family can win any battle

*

Big brother Boon Chuan comes next in line

Ask him anything and all you get is a smile

Joanne is the fourth who loves the colour red

Treat her some chocolate and you won’t regret

*

From the east comes Angela who may be small

But don’t underestimate her for her spirit is high

Shih Han is next who seldom give anyone any worry

But don’t you dare argue with her or you might be sorry

*

Early in the morning, Dawn will be in the kitchen

And breakfast will be served before the crow of the chicken

Yen Hong is one of the active girl we ever know

She might be a great athlete for all we know

*

From Cameroon, we have Francis by our side

He cooks well and you’ll definitely want a bite

Nago was born with a natural talent in singing’

And that’s why the birds are always chirping

*

Next in line is Gabriel who loves to eat

He is still skinny but still good in beads

Suleen has a cute pillow by her side

And she always cheer everyone with her smile

*

Shoo Chen is the youngest in the family

Though she might be cheeky but she’s still lovely

So that’s the complexity of our family

We may be big but it’s all by God’s grace

*

There are times we may argue with each other

But our Grandpa and Grandmas will remind us to be together

So that is how we grew up as a lovely family

Through good times and bad times, we shared our life

*

We may not know what will the future hold

But we’ll trust in the Lord and love one another as it was been told

We will part our ways one day but our caring will never end

So that’s the story of the Family of Chalet Ten
