Cameron Retreat 2010 (Day 1)

Last Friday was the first day of ConneXion Semenyih retreat at Cameron Highland (again). We took off from Subang at 10 am morning. after almost 3 hours drive we reached the waterfall at Brinchang for a break.

Waterfall shooting:

After some time traveling with hunger, we got ourselves some food. It's the same place we had lunch last year, but can't deny that this is a special Indian shop compare to most of those that I had. This time I got myself mutton rice instead of naan.

ConneXion Semenyih in Nasi Kandar restaurant:

Not too long after lunch, just 5 minutes drive, here we are at our "camp side". Compare to only 8 person last year, we had 13 people this time! All the rooms are fully utilized, but it's still enough for us. The newbies really are amazed by this place that we're gonna stay for 3 days.

Our retreat home:

We watched a series of video about reaching out, and then we're out for tea. It's this smoke house again with the extraordinary pricing. We had tea and scone, having fun time "acting" like high class kids.

Tea time at smoke house:

Next, Uncle Rodney stopped by a strawberry farm to buy some strawberries. We had some time walking around the garden with flowers and cacti. The photographers sure had some nice time shooting around.

Garden of flowers and cacti:

Back at night for another session of outreach DVD, and it's time for dinner. Uncle Rodney did us spaghetti and garlic bread *Yummy*. I accidentally ever-took my portion, and it was hyper satisfying.

Dinner time:

Burp~ excuse me... Ya, after dinner, we had free time relaxing in the house til we call it a night. We started the fire, and it's a warm night having fellowship. Some of us helped preparing meal for tomorrow. Me, Mark actually helped Sen Loong prepare the pan mee until 2 am =.= what a great day.

First night of fellowship:




"But you should keep clear mind in every situation. Don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at bringing others to Christ. Complete the ministry God has given you."
-2 Timothy 4:5-

Thank You Lord for this great time of fellowship, drawing us out of the world and just to be with You. Pray that this moment of rest will help us grow closer to You and learn how to reach one more for Your kingdom. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
