Singles Retreat 2009 - Port Dickson (Part 1/5)
2009.03.06
The humble entrance to the Methodist Centre in Port Dickson.
|
A bungalow which made up one of the many dormitories available. It is equipped with hot shower!
|
The gravel path which leads to the main buildings are beautifully lined with tall trees.
|
The main building where the hall is located.
|
Another of the dormitories; brothers in the left wing, sisters in the right.
|
The organizing committee definitely went the extra mile in making sure the place is all ready to receive the visitors.
|
The beaches along the Straits of Malacca is hardly comparable to those of the East Coast, but at least it's much more accessible to city folks especially those from the Klang Valley.
In the case of Port Dickson, it's only about 32 km from Seremban and 90 km from Kuala Lumpur. |
God's love for us is omnipotent; everywhere and at all times.
|

Football is always a popular choice among brothers to spend their free time, albeit sadly only during retreats. |
Siew May and Chooi Ling taking a leisurely stroll in the park; city folks need to do this more often.
|
|
As usual, the brothers and sisters played some fun games before the sermon.
|
A healthy dose of non-violent violence from Jack Wong and the gang.
|
Singing praises to the Lord.
|
Sam, veteran song leader and Liverpool fan.
|
Grace Phang, another old timer in the Song Ministry.
|
Xuen was the only toddler around.
|
After the singing comes the sermon.
|
Zugos, the yoke of God.
|
During the night, the canteen cooked up a delicious green bean and barley dessert soup.
|
Saboteur is a popular card game among the brothers and sisters where players take on the role of dwarves. As miners, they are in a mine, hunting for gold. Suddenly, a pick axe swings down and shatters the mine lamp. The saboteur has struck. But which of the players are saboteurs? Will you find the gold, or will the fiendish actions of the saboteurs lead them to it first? After three rounds, the player with the most gold is the winner.
|
Players have cards in hand. On a player's turn, he must do one of three things: place a Path Card into the mine, play an Action Card in front of a player, or pass.
|
The miners are trying to build an uninterrupted path from the Start Card to a Goal Card, while the saboteurs are trying to prevent this.
|
They shouldn't try and be too obvious about it, however, lest they be immediately discovered.
|
Khim.

A friendly neighborhood dog.

The Singles Retreat at Methodist Centre, Port Dickson was a 3 days 2 nights holiday specially tailored for the Singles. Detailed planning and laborious efforts meant that the Singles were treated to an infinite variety of experiences.
The chosen location, The Methodist Centre, was a humble yet affordable and tranquil sanctuary, hidden amidst the many hotels and resorts that dot the popular waterfront of Port Dickson.
To the brothers and sisters, the retreat was definitely a much needed break from the bustling atmosphere of the city. For a few days they embarked on a journey of unique fellowship experience, exciting games, delicious meals, and insightful sermons.
The wealth of tantalizing delights during the retreat would not have been possible, save for the outstanding efforts of the organizing committees which naturally comprised of the Marrieds. These belated collections of photos are but a token appreciation for their services and recognition of the sacrifices in time, energy and resources.
