PLKN
PLKN is.. People Like Killing Neg..... Oh, that's just racism, man~ xD
Haha, just kidding.. But anyways, PLKN was fun, awesome, exciting. In my own point of view, it's not the activities, but the friends you make there. It's always how much you want to do.
In my mind, was nothing much, coming to PLKN was just what I think was a good way to have spent my time in the holidays. But, frankly speaking, it was more than that.
Before I went to PLKN, I asked God, "Why don't I have a testimony? Do I need one? God, I could say all I want about you, but not one experience, then what am I?"
I asked for 1, God gave me more! :D
This is my PLKN life..
First day:
I see everyone sitting in their own comfortable ways, no friends. I decided, to learn how to be the first few to make friends! Be the first to take, approach, and after approaching, join everyone I met that day and make it a group of people. Then they all thanked me for making friends for them too, and called me "Dai Gor(big brother, boss)". Haha, it was a great start for a camp. Got my bed, my materials, and huge number of new friends, all friendly, but have not shown their true colours.. :p
First Sunday:
Went to a church, Church of Visitation, a huge Roman Catholic church. I was so not used to it because it practices so many rituals and praise God in such a "different" way than what protestants do. The dark side is that I had in my mind full of questions that none of my friends can answer. But I did learn a lot. It was out of our choice and "forced" to go to a church, which is this church I mentioned. We could not do anything but just went with it :/ Sad sad Sunday...
First "Keroharnian" Class(Christian Class):
I was surprised when I knew they also supply religious classes, I was also very excited! Until the time the class started, my excitement level went to the lowest, so low that it can never be seen again. The worship, game, teaching, it was all horrible. But the worse was the worship, a HUMONGOUS X for that please. For even songs that were sang so nicely became so spoiled, game me the headache of my life. I can feel the urge in me to just randomly take the lead. Hahaha! But no, that is rude, I'm no rude, I'm kind and gentle xD The games, it was okay because the guys in the class already know each other, so we were sporting enough :p The teaching, it was so direct that it hurts others feelings.... :/ I get complains from my friends about it so much that they start to hate that Uncle, but I don't need even to hear the complain, I knew it myself.. But what did I do? I approached him in a good way and just tell directly since I knew he's a kind of guy that would accept different point of views from others...
So will it be like that for 3 months straight? Do I want to join classes like that twice a week for that 3 months? Someone has to do something.. In fact, why not I give it a try?
And so I asked that Uncle.. "Uncle, can I volunteer to lead the games, and worship? I'll try my best, then after that I'll pass back the time for you for the teaching". Uncle said,"Sure, give it a try, if you fail, I'll just help out! :)". In my heart was,"Great, I just gave my heart more burden, =.=""
First module class:
I find it very childish, but in a way, it's their strategy of teaching. This way, students pay attention more than just listening to the facts. Rather they gave us activities to work among groups to build in teamwork among each others. I think it was extremely helpful, good job JLKN! :) I also encourage more of the sharing time, because when people share, they start to trust each other. Trust is the thing we need in a team, for trust is like the backbone of a team. So, overall, for me, the class is the best opportunity for me to lead and share in a group. I thought the class is the only opportunity I have to learn about that, I was wrong. Let me go on ;)
As weeks gone by, I start to get used to the environment, the bed, toilet, food, and friends. I thought they were all just like that. And so came Chinese New Years Holidays! Wheee!!! ^.^
So it wasn't just a holiday, I went back home, and I used my iPod to take in all the Christian songs I downloaded while CNY holiday, total 20 songs. And also thank God that some of my friend volunteered to help out with the games, I said, "Go ahead!" Hahaha, that simple. I doubt that they would prepare the games, but they really did, made my full of relief! ^^
Holidays are over, PLKN here I come again, equipped with all I need for the class.
First day of "keroharnian" Class after CNY Holidays:
Class starts on 8pm, reaches at 7.45pm, "Oh no, oh no, how am I going to make it on time?! :o" *Get marker, iPod, chooses songs, writes the lyrics of the song, sweep floor*. Great, I'm late, but looks like everyone is late too, hahaha. So the singing went okay, at least better than the previous. Games went okay too, and so did the teaching. And from that night onwards, I think to myself, "It's not impossible! I can do this! ^^"
As days went on, I began to realise I can't do things my own. God shown me signs keep telling me I need help from friends. So I learnt. Our total Christians in the camp is just 25/428 campers. One day while classes are going on like normal, came 50 people joining the class. The class was packed, so they have to take the games outside of class. I was full of joy, God really was working through the class. Many heard the good news and one accepted Christ in the end. But even one, a celebration was being help in Heaven! ^^
If you were to ask me the whole story I learnt in PLKN, I would have written more, but this would be enough for tonight. By God's grace, God has led me to lead others, praise the Lord God Almighty..
For the Glory of God,
George Y.W.J.
