DAY 3

Day 3 began with moulded bread that we brought for brekkie, so we had to be satisfied by the Shabu-shabu leftover, some instant noodles and luckily, Jewawo brought some croissant and ‘tasteless’ bread alias roti tawar, that we heated and made into a French toast…. Love French toast!   After that some of us were packing up the stuffs as we’re leaving at noon.

It’s time for Arie’s group to have the BS Ruth 3 at the hotel lobby, near the café below the stairs. We’re studying the characteristics of each character in the book of Ruth, i.e. Ruth, Naomi, Boaz, as well as God’s character, and some OT and NT references of how an “outsiders” can get into relationship with God. We, Christians, are similar to Ruth in the way that we’re also Gentiles, we’re saved because of our faith that we can be spiritually part of God’s people, and the difference is that we’re brought near by the blood of Christ, abolishing the law.

After BS, we’re pretty much packing up the things, since we’re leaving at 12pm and continuing Chris’ 4^th talk at Shang’s. I guess the Yasmin people were glad we’re gone, since Villa Pelangi no 53 had caused them much trouble, starting by asking for extra bed, pillows, blankets, plates, tissues, talenan, internet connection for Chris, combined brekkie vouchers, and the last of them all, broken water pipe….. * Sigh* A good experience for them maybe, for building a 4-5 bedrooms villas next time…

Strangely, Chris seemed to crave KFC for lunch, coz he’d been avoiding chicken for the past days (coz of bird flu, ed.). He said he knows the general manager of KFC for South East Asia, or wherever it is, that KFC’s chicken is cooked at 130 degrees that the virus would be dead….. oh well…. Not a really big problem for us though, coz Indo’s KFC is lots better than OZ’…… After lunch, we went back to Shang’s, without Yudhi coz he had another appointment in the afternoon.

Chris’ last talk, “Living Successfully 2”, was talking about putting on love and the things listed in Col. 3:12, knowing our place in the relationship that God has placed us in (i.e. as children we must obey our parents in the Lord), and acting wisely by praying, evangelising, and partnering.

The talk was closed by prayer, and a short, unprepared “award-giving” ceremony to thank everybody who had put his or her efforts to make this camp happened. The prizes comprised of SQ’s stuffs such as first class toothbrush and brand new SQ pen, as well as Shang’s stuffs such as a bottle of wine, hotel sandals, shampoo, soap, bathroom requirements, stabillos, rubber eraser, combs, etc. Everyone got one!

After that the Cahyonos (i.e. Arie and Frida J) invited us to have dinner at their father’s seafood restaurant, Bandar Djakarta @ Ancol. Unfortunately, the Gautamas (i.e. Steph and her twin sisters) wouldn’t join us for dinner coz Steph’s exhausted and wanted to go home…. So we’re 1 car short and had to troubled Mr. Cahyono to pick us up from Shang’s to Ancol (>.<). Thanks to the Cahyonos that we could enjoy delicious abalones, crabs, calamaris, fishes, kangkung, prawns, and also baby shark! Yes, a real fried baby shark! I really ate a lot, forgetting the afterwards-consequences…… :p hehehehe

Oh well…. I guess I have to end my stories here, as we all left for our homes afterwards….. J

Oh ya, I think we still have around Rp. 600.000 spare from the treasurer, and ask Daniel to collect back your part! Oooppsss….just received a news from Daniel, apparently all the leftover money was gone! hohoho just read the comment below….. cheers!J

Cheers!
