YAM Retreat-Pulau Tinggi (Sept 07)

Charis Yammers went for another retreat in 2007, this time to a chalet-like kelong at Pulau Tinggi (if i remembered the name of the place correctly). We were there for a time of rest & relax, fishing and meditating on God's Word. As usual, had great fun with the Yammers, fooling around, laughing, acting crazy and Bible study sessions.
One of the main objective at the kelong was to go fishing. It was a first time for many of us as we had no prior fishing experience, except Pastor Peter (who's an experienced fisherman) but we were all very excited to embark on our 1st fishing trip. And guess what time we had to wake up...4am! Yes, we had to go fishing early in the morning while the sky was still dark, due to the tidal conditions. As the waters were very choppy and resulted in the boat rocking quite strongly, most of us were giddy and felt like puking, let alone hold the fishinf rod and prepare the bait. Yours truly was the 1st to puke and then followed the others, so we had a massive puking session onboard the boat. Amazing thing was, shortly after the numerous puking by various individuals, Alan caught a baby shark (haha, it must have been attracted by our puke, how gross!).

Yet, all in all, we enjoyed ourselves immensely because the view and scenery of the place was absolutely captivating! The cool seabreeze blowing right into your face...the sea and its waves right at your doorstep...savouring fresh fish caught straight from the sea...lazing around in the sun...absolute bliss...
