Welcome to the March 29th, 2022 issue of our weekly newsletter.

This has been a turbulent and challenging week of uncertainty, loss of lives, destruction of buildings, bombs, bloodshed, and trauma due to the looming war in Ukraine. Just when the dust begins to settle over the Covid 19 pandemic, war broke out in Ukraine! And this has already entered into the fifth week! According to the world news, there were heavy casualties on both sides of the divide. Ten million civilians, mainly women, and children had fled Ukraine with a knapsack on their back to escape death! There is no sign of any cease-fire or diplomatic breakthrough anytime soon. We are certainly living in turbulent, perilous, uncertain, and unprecedented times, with pandemics, earthquakes, natural disasters, complete with a full-blown war! Let us pray for God’s mercy and grace.

Snippets from Memoirs of a Doctor:

SUNGEI BILL CAMPSITE

I always looked forward to scout campfires, camping, and other activities. Camping was the highlight of my scouting days. Our campsite was in Sungei Bill – named after a river with the same name.

On arrival at the campsite, we would set up our tents. We had to dig a drain around the tent in case it rained. A single tent could accommodate up to four people. There were many large, rounded rocks in the middle of the river emerging above the water.

For dinner, the senior scouts would boil rice and cook curry chicken with potatoes. They would also fry mee and mee hoon (rice noodles and vermicelli), and so on under the supervision of our scoutmasters.

As I remember, the boy scout’s chicken curry rice was most yummy. I can still picture the spectacular scene – sitting on top of one of the large rocks while eating dinner and watching the beautiful scenery. The soothing sounds of the running river and the nearby waterfall encapsulated perfect peace.

Dinner would be followed by the campfire, whereby we sing songs, strum guitars, play games, share testimonies, and so forth. “It only takes a spark” and “Kumbayah” were among the favorite campfire songs back then.

At night, we had to do sentry duties, taking turns to guard the campsite in case there were any intruders namely wild boars, tigers, or other four-legged “friends”. Fortunately, we did not encounter any snakes, but leeches and mosquitoes were plentiful. On some nights when we were lucky, could see owls with their two eyes peering at us through the night.

Futuristic! Revelation is a ‘no-go area’ because of its vast futuristic contents. However, for those who like futuristic phenomena and prophecies, it can really stretch your imagination!
