#SYC2015

I had such an amazing trip to end 2015 and to start 2016. I joined SAAT Youth Camp or socalled SYC which was held in Malang in December 27th, 2015 - January 2nd, 2016. SYC was a camp for Christians Youth all around Indonesia. The camp was joined by almost 1000 participants from all around Indonesia. This 2015 camp had a theme, Winning Life's Battle tuning heart into God's wisdom through The Poetical Books. At first, I almost canceled to join this camp because my friend SUDDENLY HAD CANCELED A DAY BEFORE GOING THERE -_- If I had canceled to go, I'd have missed 4 great days.

DAY 1
I had arrived in Malang before my church friends arrived because I had went to Bali first. I went to SAAT from Jatim Park 2 by taxi accompanied by my aunty and uncle. I arrived at SAAT at around 4pm and directly reregistered then went to my hostel room! Yay! Hehe. It was nice to stay at a dorm since I had never experienced it before. The opening ceremony was good and I did not know anyone at first. My church friends and I were divided into groups and I was the only one from GII(my church) in my group :') At the first night, we had our first session, Enjoyment Under The Sun. We continued by doing a group sharing and it was the time I knew each other in my group :D I was so happy that I could know lots of new people. I took a very late bath like at about 11pm HAHA I tried to sleep early but I could not! Hahaha because there were 3 friends, Michiko, Diana, and ci Anna, who were nice to talk with :D We talked like until 2am whereas we had another adventurous day on the next day.

DAY 2
Day 2 was the last day of 2015, December 31st, 2015. It was the first time I was away from my parents during New Year's eve and New Year yet I was so grateful to be there because there are lots of brothers and sisters in Christ :) The second day was started by morning worship then continued by a session called "Life Under The Sun" which we had an outdoor activity, searching for Lady's Wisdom. There were 7 posts we needed to visit and ALMOST at all the posts my group lost. Wasn't it sad? BUTTTTTT...... GOD WAS SO GOOD! We won the game! Yay! We were the first group who found a "gold" although we did not found the real Lady's Wisdom. It was such a tiring morning and finally we could rest! In the afternoon, we had a session, God is too Wise to be Mistaken. At night there was a session, "A Time to Mourn, A Time to Dance". After that session, each of the participants was free to go anywhere around SAAT to reflect on what God had done in 2015 and what our commitment in 2016. It was a blessed night where I could thank God for everything He had done in 2015. Since it was the last night of 2015, we had a New Year's Eve party while waiting for the New Year. There were lots of foods! Haha. At 1am, I had come to my room then slept! What a blessed day...

The Winner! :D

DAY 3
It was the first day of 2016 and the last night in SAAT. I was both happy and sad. The same as yesterday, the day was started by mornig worship. There was 4 sessions on the third day. The first one was "Buy The Truth, Get Wisdom". The second one was all about love, "The Gradeur of Love" bahahaha. Then in the afternoon we were divided into 2 sessions either From Addiction to Action, which was talking about pornography, or Socializing with(out) Social Media. I chose the Socializing with(out) Social Media since I was so addicted with my phone HAHA. The last session was A Parados of Vanity and in the end of the session there was an Altar Call :) Lots of youths knelt down and surrender their lives to God. It was another blessed night! Since the third day was the last night, my group had the very last sharing session. Because of the limited time, we could not have a long sharing session whereas personally, it was the most memorable night during 3 nights in SYC. We exchanged our social medias to still keep in touch and I was more than grateful to be there, to know new amazing friends in God. Oh, I also wrote letters for my group's mentor.

DAY 4
Last day in SAAT and I was so sad to leave my new friends. Last day was also a final day for the Art and Bible Competition. My church joined it and the won the second place, Congrats!!! In the closing ceremony, my group was called to the stage as the first winner! YAY! Before going back to each of our hometowns, we took the last proper photo haha. See you soon, Yehezkiel(my groups's name)! :) It was such a wonderful 4 days in SAAT. Look forward to join this year's! But...... hahahaha. I really recommend you to join SYC2016 which is gonna be held in December 27th - 31st, 2016.

Guess if you know which I am :p
