ARPC Church Camp 2019

We attending ARPC Church Camp for the first time and it was held at KL Sunway Resort. And since it was during the June school holidays, Mummy and Daddy decided we will stay with Aunty Mei Mei and Uncle Vincent for a couple of days before the church camp. They have been asking us to visit them so this seems to be a good time to do so.

We booked our coach with AeroLine and boarded the coach at Harborfront on Monday. They have comfortable reclining seats and even a personalised screen with many movies and games to keep us occupied during the 6 hour journey. We arrived at Sunway Resort without even noticing that 6 hours have passed. Aunty Mei Mei and Uncle Vincent with their 2 sons, Brandon and Jasper, were there to receive us.

For the next three days, we spent much time checking out interesting restaurants with good local dishes. We even went to a famous local wet market call Chow Kit Market for breakfast. In fact, Aunty Mei Mei has not been there herself as she finds it quite dangerous and never visited it before. Daddy found out about this market from a food channel on Netflix and it was really a great experience. And with the exchange rate around 1SGD to 3MYR, the food was not only cheaper than in Singapore, it was also more delicious! We must have put on 2 to 3 kg in that 3 days we spent with them. 




On the second day, Uncle Vincent drove us to a very special place called Sekinchan which was about an hour drive from KL. There are rice padi fields and also a factory which showcases the rice harvesting process. It was very interesting to see how we get the rice from start to finish. Nearby from the rice factory is a seaside area where many people were flying their kites. We bought a few and all the kids were flying the kites. Unfortunately there was a very sandy slope where i slipped and fell and had a very bad scratch on my right leg. I cried buckets cos it was so painful. Before we headed for dinner, we were treated to a eagle feeding show. We took a small motor boat and headed out to sea where the boatman will drop chicken on the water and the many eagles will just swoop in for the food. It was an interesting experience. After the eagle feeding show, we headed to a kelong for our seafood dinner. Again the food didn't fail us and the price was very reasonable. 























We were very sad to part with Aunty Mei Mei, Uncle Vincent, Brandon and Jasper. We had a great time with them and before they dropped us off at Sunway for our church camp, we had one last meal and needless to say, it was very good. On the way to Sunway, Jasper was especially quiet and we were told that he is not very good with parting and thus can become a bit emo. We wish Aunty Mei Mei well as she will delivering little Daniel very soon. 

For the next 4 days we were based at Sunway Resort for the church camp. While Mummy and Daddy attended the talks, we were at the children's classes and we will get together during meal times. There was free time when the kids were able to go out to play. We spent an afternoon on laser tag and the next day on archery. We even managed to spend an afternoon ice skating. It was my first time and Daddy and Mummy said I did pretty well for a first timer.
