back from June camp 08[:
haha. i guess joong and i really really believe prayer works tons of wonders now; i remember how we kept reminding each other to pray!
Joong's famous line (besides "that's a good question, what do you think?") :
"when in doubt, pray!"
haha. from day one, our batch came at 5 plus to 6; and i mistook sarah ong for sarah giam [it was early in the morning! heh. xD] so jazlyn, sarah ong, joong and me started carrying loaves of bread, jam, lettuce and watermelon down to the gb room [i'll never forget how embarassing it was when i took 22 loaves of bread off the ntuc shelf - with everyone staring at me and someone even going "whoa. na me duo mian bao"; and there was this guy who even had to offer help to me cause it was hard to manage. and how joong recalls her having to take 7-8 watermelons watermelons all at one go too. haha.]
anyway, so we started getting ready, preparing and praying. then yeah, camp started. people came, and everyone began reporting at the parade square. so took attendance and yeah. things went on okay. i think devotion was pretty unusual and interesting:D Ms wong played a game with us after that; the game of trying to find out how many points we have absorbed. and yeah, after we made some funny mistake, it was down to either joong's group or my group. and we lost in the end - and did a forfeit [monkey,gorilla,chimpanzee thingy] it was embarassing too! but fun :D
urban hike was pretty okay i guess, apart from the monkeys and peacock that were around, didn't like them! =P but giam and ky were with me! haha, we crapped and ate alot of sweets while waiting(= went back for dinner/bathe and worship etc. then i guess that was more or less the end of the day, with a debrief at night lasting till about 1am plus 2am. lol.
day 2 was pretty alright, i guess. went for archery and vera kept going on about how she can hit the bullseye cause she's wearing yellow [the bullseye was yellow] yeah. and how my bow was a little screwed, so the arrow kept not shooting properly for a few times. haha. later we had this individual challenge thingy, and we all had to shoot! guess what? i got 30/100! haha xDD following that was a team challenge, haha. team captain? joong and i -.- we were officially sabotaged! haha. but anyway, proceeded for the finalist challenge S1-S1;S2-S2;S3-S3-S4-S4;teacher-teacher. FUN:D went back for bathe/dinner later followed by drill, where the sec 4s took the sec 1s and 2s drill while the our batch was busy setting up night walk. joong and i were untangling this entire pile of raffia strings and we did it! the rest were all running around and getting things organized! then night walk started, the sec 4s were helping us too[: yay! so yeah, liz and i were moving around, watching the other S3s "enthice" them. haha. renci and giam managed to lead many groups off trail. lol. claire and i were kinda retarded for a moment - jumping around, banging railings and she made weird retarded noises. haha. towards the end, it started to rain, but i guess it was alright, we managed to still complete the trail though it was shortened and i think that was where the S4s began to have more fun, to stall time for us. haha. all the singing of songs etc. xDD yeah.
day 3 was more or less alright, clean up, debrief, worship etc. uor batch had a debried with ms wong later and some of the S4s. yeah, comments came in +ve and -ve, but well, i guess it's for all of us to learn, and camp was fun! better than we expected :D
we stayed for lunch and talked alot; cleaned up. now gb room's really really clean :DD camwhore and slept there for awhile longer. (:

to you [ i think you'll know who you are when you read this]:
my dear girl, cheer up! maybe there are many mixed feelings within you now and stuff like despair and disappointment, but just learn to let go yeah? unexpected things happen, the way things turn out is not something you can control fully. think less,pray more. feel less, trust more. less of your thoughts and feelings,more of God's thoughts and wisdom. you'll find that things are clearer to you.and for that upcoming thingy, you'll be fine! jiayou girl! anything, i'll be there[: we'll all stand by you and you'll pull through it<3
At the beginning - donna lewis
We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whenthe storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

went for lsl session today; it was at Jurong/Boon Lay. yeah. thankfully, dad could sent me there, i really can't imagine how i'll drag myself out of bed to take mrt all the way there. anyway, i still woke up half awake -.-
i reached there, thinking i was early, it was 8.50am. so i sat outside, smsed jiaying and qi to ask if they were there alr. here came jy's reply: "haha. for a long time alr" and i went in feeling i just did something retarded. haha. BUT I WAS "EARLY", just that you guys were EARLIER [:
anyway, went in, fixed something that looked like lego for the kids. was with jo-ann. yeah. they were very hyper active. lol.
went for lunch later and went home, i travelled from boonlay and wonderfully woked up at eunos, just enough time for me to get ready to get off[: woo! haha.
came back, did some stuff, and went for a swim, even though i have terrible muscle ache. haha. it was fun(:
