camp
very fun. more fun than i had expected it to b. the campers in my grp all frm my cat class one.. grace michelle anastasia nigel dominic matthias. the first activity is game lah. all the ppl except two in each grp play wacko. wif a very ying4 stick made of newspapers n masking tape. i was one of the two in the grp.. crap! one of the two in each grp haf to b blindfolded n the other one has to haf the hands taped bhind so tt lose balance. i forced anastasia to b blindfolded after she whined alot irritatingly. then later went out n play those kind of games where u haf to use the chairs to move frm the start to the end n everyone balance on the chairs n the first person will move the chairs to step on n move further. anastasia keep screaming. annoying. i cldnt balance oso nvr scream wat. aiyoh. bt 6 ppl on 4 chairs qt hard. n like the girls r guys plague n guys r girls plague. i alws on first chair wif michelle n grace on the second wif anastasia n grace alws almst kana push down by her. the three guys shared the last one. i dun noe how.. nigel n dominic qt skinny. tok so much crap in the end we were the last team.. haha.. bt nvm it was fun! then i tore the masking tape bhind me once we reached the end. hands very achy..

proceeded to take camp photo to b developed n given to all the campers the nxt day. then went upstairs to the prayer hall [very very cold!!] for sessions. first one skit. then all the grps gt to judge the other grps. our youth facilitators alws in charge one then nvr come n help us lor! unfair. then other grps like faithfulness haf super enthu facilitators like shaun. funny guy. n theres this guy clement hu looks kinda like wayne rooney! bt rooney is 2yrs younger. most of the camp was singing.. sing sing sing sing.. bt nt those kind of church hymns. i think those r songs they composed or sth. most of them i nvr hear b4.. n try to make us follow their actions! like action songs. bt alot of ppl followed.. i dun wan. stone.. everytime we go prayer hall will b very sian. most. then LUNCH!! so hungry. eat spaghetti.. the nice canteen aunties made food for us for free! so kind leh. we onli paid 10 bucks for the whole camp n i think we were given much much more than tt 10 bucks we paid. very worth. more on y later.. then sessions again then TEA TIME! yay! eat again. then had games.. very dumb one like getting flour on ur face while trying to use ur teeth to eat a mentos sweet on a flour covered plate in the church carpark on the floor. then eating it n using ur teeth again fill up a plastic cup of water frm a pail n run back. the floor slippery n cn fall down.. some ppl did actuali.

bath time sucked!!! dun wan to say. anyway all camp baths very bad one. even p5 camp same. then we went for mass.. the person hu played the organ was one of the campers! so li4 hai4 leh. play so nice. sound like adult play one. met my couz there hu was in the choir. then after tt DINNER!! yay!! very nice. the nice aunties this time made western food for us like hash brown [very nice] chicken n very-hard-to-cut-n-bite veggies like the carrots n very-hard-to-swallow-cos-its-so-tasteless veggies like the cauliflower. bt then gt free haagen daaz ice cream n u cn take as much as u wan!! very nice i like the strawberry one alot alot!

then the session. this one very cool. first it was singing. everyone sang very very happily.. a few din.. i din either.. then later the priest brought this thingy in. i forgot wat its called.. it was reali nice n i was sitting rite in front wif my frens n the thingy was directly in front of me. it looks very nice. all golden n everything. then very quiet.. n everyone starts to feel very sad. me too. 6 or 7 tchers stood in a row. we were sposed to tell them wat to pray for us for n they wld pray with us. all the classes.. joy faithfulness peace patience love charity gentleness [???] n i think one more tt i forgot. it was reali nice n when u pray wif the tcher u feel very sad n going to cry all tt. when i went out of prayer hall [lights were off] saw my frens all like crying n sniffing. then we all wrote our troubles n stuff tt u wan to say to God on a piece of paper n put it into a clay pot. went back in to sing again.. then after everything we went outside n burnt all the paper. very smoky. supper was optional.. everyone set up their sleeping bags. there were mattresses provided bt then nt neccesary to take. since nt enuf anyway for everyone grace n me both nvr take. cassandra [another fren frm peace] n anastasia took n put sleeping bag on top. the floor was super super hard. very
difficult to slp.. i slpt at 1230 bt woke up at 1 130 3 then finali 6. usuali its impossible to wake up so early without getting someone to shake me awake.

everyone went to change n wash up then it was breakfast!!!! was so hungry. every grp had one jumbo loaf of bread.. alot alo of butter n ham n jam or peanut butter or none. we gt strawberry jam. we thot it was normal breakfast bt nooooo. we had to come up wif the most creative thingy.. so cut the bread n stack nice nice make a
castle. we gt 8 points out of 10. we sposed to win bt duno wat some other team did to gt the credit.. haha. bt no one cared.. then the camp commander said. tt every grp had to eat the bread tt was spread by the team on their left.. ewww!! i din like the peach jam. bt still ate, too hungry. then we went for the sessions again. games was juz this lame treasure hunt tt they gif u pics of the diff parts of the church n u haf to find then ans the qn. lamest part is tt all the work is done by the facilitator. at least for our grp.. we c one pic. facilitator say oh i noe where it is then we juz follow the leader.. we came in 3rd. i think. then back to the prayer rm. lunch n tea!! then later had this trust walk qt fun. u haf to blindfold urslf n then hold the shoulders of the person in front of u n walk. there wld b one person giving instructions to the person right in front.. in our case it was nigel. then walk down n up stairs up chairs n benches round about. scary part is of course cnt c if u gonna bang into sth.. grace bhind me gt lost cos one of the other grp facilitators bluffed her n led her to a very far away carpark.. so funi!

another skit. break. then the egg breaking thing.. we were given some straws n very very little masking tape whiich was used to tie the straws up to build a support for the egg. had to drop it frm 8 feet n make sure tt it doesnt break. then we weaved the thingy.. n wrap till very xin1 ku3. bt still in the end all the eggs broke.. except for peace's. it was very fun to c all the eggs break! whenever one team goes up the table n gt ready to drop all of us around the table wld chant break break break break.. then dinner time! nt as nice as the previous one bt still gd. then announced the grp positions n gave out tokens to all the youth facilitators. theres this guy hu looks 30 then duno y he still considered youth. hmm. gentleness won.. bt i very hapi tt joy was 5th!! cos later aunt angela [shes a doctor! so cool] said tt first to last place prizes all the same. like equal value! hahaha. so patience hu was last very hapi n gentleness very sore. 1st 2nd 3rd prize gt 10 bucks haagen daaz voucher each. 4th gt sth i cnt rmb wat. bt 5th we gt borders gift card!!! its sth like a voucher bt then cn retain value tt has nt been used. like if u buy 8 bucks worth of stuff n ur card inside gt 10 bucks still will left 2 bucks. then cn add value too! 6th gt kinokuniya vouchers. i think very lucky. bt then all the ppl like dun wan cos they dun read. :S

clean up the place n wait for the parents to come n then offically close camp. everyone gt this "choicecard" tt looks very like credit card or cash card bt then it said choice instead. even gt name imprinted. its sposed to remind everyone how to make choices. c is check out influences h is haf the facts o is others cn help i is in Jesus
we pray c is choose n e is evaluate ur choice. then go home!
