Church camp over :( sad ah… camp was sooooo fun and enriching.. where should I start. Ok I do a journal form of each day..
Monday -- bus ride there was boring.. mostly slept cos it was thru the night.. played and talked a little little bit wif wl and clarinda who were next to me. We reached the hotel at abt.. 12 then had to wait till 4pm to check in to our rooms.. so we went to hav lunch la. we had ba gu tey.. first time in my life eating leh believe it anot. Quite good la. but the drinks rite, the ice very weird taste. Dunno how they geddit one. Some of us went shopping after that.. mi and gabs and some others bought christabel bday present.. gabs super indecisive sia. I bought her a stuff toy pig.. v cute one.
Back to the hotel… then.. icebreakers wif the adults.. then jeanette like introduce lina and angeline to a few ppl la.. then she wave to me ask me say hi then I shy ma. So juz stare back at her wave at her. Hahaz… then play this game the newcomers muz memorise 10 names and say out la, then lina said my name and I din expect ma cos I din know she knew then I nvr raise hand. Hmmz.. Bla bla.. then dinner! Whee! Haha.. I sat nxt to lina, my group one, but at tat moment we like totally dunno each other.. at mi table was angeline.. jeanette ivane cheryl daniel kenny(? Not sure abt this) and a few others which I forgot. Then they keep asking me stuff and lik paisei me la. lol. Dinner was good. The guys got to eat a lot cos mostly girls ma. Then we eat until shiok.
Then after tat.. we had the youth ice breakers :) played a couple of games.. pretty fun la. Then.. pick angels for the angel mortal game.. at first I got shushu.. which is good la cos it was a girl but later on at nite found out had to change cos some screw up. Bleahz. After msg by jon fong.. we went to sleep. Zzz. But first watched bball.. lakers vs pistons game 1.. lakers lost :( (mi bunkmates = abel n gideon )
Tuesday – devotions taken by jeanette.. mi bunk got up fairly easily in the morning at 650hrs. got som stupid morning call thing tat woke us up.. (Disabled after this day dunno y ) abt being passionate for god.. we went off individually to pray and such la. (this was the only day I went for devotions :p )
Breakfast was good too.. buffet.. then got these 2 chefs cook egg for u if u want. Scrambled sunnyside or omelette. Cool la. Blabla..then msg! Then discussions! First time spending time with my group. Short description for fun:
Jeanette – leader. Close to god. Can hear what god says to each one of us. talked a lot for each of the discussions. Made a lot of effort to help us in the discussions.
Joel – coleader. Had some pretty cool illustrations which I never knew he had. Quite funny to hear him talk cos he’s nervous and will pronounce all his words very clearly like all the ‘d’ ‘t’ ‘s’ ‘k’. guess we all were nervous.
Gideon – also nervous. Talk very little. Shy la. But seeks god. Good.
Angelina- super super quiet. Shy? Talks very little, and that’s when she opens us lor. Very quiet.. smile also cannot smile full mouth one unless uncontrollable.
Lina – lik her hair better when its tied. Talked v little at first too,but later on opened up. To like.. everyone in camp.
Rachael – shy also. Always look down when talking. (im trying to kick this habit too) always say ‘erm’. :)
Blabla.. lunch.. sucky food.. lunch is always lousy food dunno y. buffet style btw. Games got special group one. Me anthea gabs benc cheryl hozzy leon. Anthea super cute one. I don’t say act cute (which is what she does) bcos act cute actually means only in front of some ppl u pretend to be cute cute then talk also pretend u’re cute. But to everyone she’s lidat so I don’t think she’s acting but I really dunno. Mostly relay games la.
After games played cards wif girls in my room tho they took like forever. -_- easily won. Lol. No la. not really.
Dinner. Then.. msg time.. michael was distracted by the noise next door (there was zero soundproofing so like they sing song and the speaker talk can hear very clearly from the youth room) then started apologising and stuff. Then din reli hav msg. Discussions.. they prayed with each one of us individually and privately, both joel and jeanette together. I felt kinda sick.
Then jeanette said something amazing.. she like read my mind la. she said I was thinking abt something which has been bothering me for a while.. then like dunno if should go on with it (this thing is actually abt to try being a leader in church) and she told me god said just go ahead and do it. sth lidat. God really spoke thru her.. so amazing.
Yup then slept almost immediately after the group left my room ( yup they used mi room for discussions) cos I felt sick.
Wednesday- din go down for devotions.. slept an extra 45 mins or so cos I still felt sick. Feverish. Then I went down to the room, jeanette ask me how I was feeling like casually.. then ‘are u sick?’ like super super casually la. I think. Then I say ‘ya I got fever’ and I think she was like shocked. Heex.. then she asked kel for panadol which he din give? I dunno. Then had breakfast.. blabla. After tat we went back to worship rite, jeanette actually I think went up to her room( which is like miles away. Muz walk very far to the lift to go to our rooms cos it’s on another wing of the hotel from our youth room. Then lifts take hours to come one) and got me panadol and this vitamin-c-that-dissolves-in-water thing. Wow. You rock, jeanette!!
After lunch we had station games! Got diff stations, basically diff ppl’s rooms. My group really opened up then.. had great fun and every1 was more cheerful towards each other. Rough outline of games:
Benben’s station – charades. Guess a phrase or word when the person does actions. I got stuck at shrek cos I didn’t watch it and have no idea wats it about. Hahaz.
Ivin’s station (my room! ) – paired up wif som1, basically one actor one talker. Ivin would do this series of actions, like walk to the sofa, do jumping jacks, bla, then the talker muz tell the actor (who waits outside without looking) all that ivin does, then muz imitate exactly
Kel’s station – taboo. I had 5 words but jeanette had 8 words! Wow. Pro. I guessed quite a few too :)
Cheryl’s station – stand one line, the first person given this object or sth, then muz act it out to the 2nd person, who muz act it out to the 3rd person, etc. last person muz guess. Our group quite good. Hahaz.
Corn’s station – muz do a series of tasks blindfolded. I did level 6 :) I chiong all the way.. hahaz..
Eh? I like cant remember anymore. But joel wasn’t with us leh. Doesn’t he have a station? Hmm? Forgot.
Yup after games the free time we went gabs joel corn room to play taboo. But got nba match lakers vs pistons games two (lakers won in overtime thanks to a 3pointer from bryant with 2.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter which drew the game. Pistons missed the inbounds pass. The guy fumbled then times up.) so I din really play taboo. Got play abit la. lina and angeline came. Lina really mad abt taboo.. hahaha.. she loves it man.
After dinner.. msg by michael which he covered pretty well. Discussions.. fun la. Shared abt personal stuff. Jeanette shared sth really personal, and I really admire her, cos if I was her I wouldn’t have done so lor. Joel also super funny. Haha nvm.
Thusday – din go down for devotions again. Sleepy la. eh? Did I? I hav no memory of this. Hmm. (of not waking up on time)
Thursday free time.. did something against rules which I wont say.. don’t scold la.. actually nothing bad one lor.. juz keep out of certain areas can le ma. Yupz. But had fun. Hahaz.
Trip down memory lane.. at nite.. pretty lamez. Photos from past camps la. then.. nite games!!
I kinda ‘led’ the group cos jeanette and joel were part of the game committee thing. Got 6 ‘guardians’ 6 ‘guides’. Guides will giv clue , guardians wont, both muz do a task for them first. My group got a black card (which the clues point to) pro rite. Hahaz.
Then.. had worship till 12 am.. a really good experience.. I kept praying for god to enter and come in and that I would feel his presence.. then.. after gabz prayed for me.. it kinda ‘opened the floodgates’. Hahaz.. I felt gods presence la.. and I started to cry.. joel prayed for me then (he peeped to see if I was crying I saw him peep) ben ben also.. then timo. A great experience. Guess tat kinda answered my prayers.. yeps.
