something really exciting happened in my life again! :D
the SECONDARY THREE LEADERSHIP CAMP. [24th April 2008-26th April 2008]
FIRST DAY-
i woke up at about normal time, packed my PE t-shirt inside and off i went to school! I was partnering Crystal because Cheryl seet was partnering Chelsea and Belinda, with Abigail. We were supposed to wear slacks/track pants (as the cheif veron said, so we won't show so much skin when we go to st. john island-.-") and well, some people esp e china scholars (sorry) looked like they didn't suit their bottoms at all.. just thank god i had slacks from NP, cause i HATE to wear track pants, esp since how they're usually so tight and would stick to my skin, revealing all my ugly leg fats:X After assembly, we gathered at the forum and our respective group intructors were introduced to us. Group 5 gotYAO XING! while Group 6 gotWAN WEI. At first i guess i was abit disappointed cos i though grp 6's instructor looked nicer hehe, and my grp's one looked abit..uh..not that friendly? Yup, then we soon set off on the buses and sat down at Marina Pier for awhile. Before we boarded the ferry, there was this ultra cool thing where you can put ur thumb and then the person would take your thumbprint! hee, like first time seeing it. and i think it's quite efficient for taking down your identity(: We got Mr. Alex Teoh taking care of us, btw. And half of the class sat at the top deck while others sat at the middle one cause there wasn't enough space on top. and i was sitting facing that horrible gloria ang and rebecca tan): lucky have Eunice to talk to!
within half an hour, we reached ST. John's Island. It was raining, so we wore ponchos/carried umbrellas and walked up to the gathering hall number 8 with our heavy baggage. I was wearing the poncho from the Campcraft Competition, hehe. -SHHHh don't tell:)- and other people thought it was nice too! i like those kinda poncho material better too, the plastic one will tend to stick to your skin and make you feel even warmer. dark blue:D We checked into our Dormitry 11, which was like the nearest to the gathering hall. The bunks were kinda like what most of us expected them to be? Mattress thin and both the mattress and the pillow's dirty, got few have small shit on them. they told us that they'd give us those foldable Safari beds (like beach chairs) so we won't have to sleep on the cold hard floor! Anw, we soon started to think up of our group cheers, group name and designing our group flag in the dorm. Yi Ling, because of her wonderful drawing talent, was chosen to draw it for us. yup, and guess what's our group name?HOTDOG.haha. And this is how our group's short cheer go: " Hotdog, Hotdog. Yumyumyumyumyumyum. Deliciato. "
After that we hadAMUSING RACE! (instead of Amazing Race) Its like we are given clues as to which where to go and once we get there, we have to complete one task. I think that we did quite well, quite fast! Especially that Untanglement. that was the FASTEST untanglement that i have ever done, WITHOUT CHEATING. :D I guess Yao Xing made things abit easier for us too. but he keep taking pictures! it's supposed to be good luh, but hehe, i'm camera shy! (but he took a picca of me when i was blindfolded-.-") It was okay luh, but it seems like something that you would get to do when you go for normal camps (not UG camps, most definitely). then.. WASH-UP! Me, Darice, Crystal, Beverley and Low Ann walking together and were searching for toilet together and when we finally found one nearly empty one, was very happy! ^^ (josie and bianca let us five bathe first, thank god for them!) And that was the shiokest bathroom ever, and although mine and Darice's shower cubicles didn't have curtains (there wasn't enough to go around i guess), we trusted each other that we won't look so yeahh. But you know i kinda get this feeling that in a girls' school, we tend to be more open. hehh.
Yepp, so fresh, clean and smiling, we went back to the dorm, before going to some other sheltered place where the whole class discussed out campfire item. Me and Darice sat together, and well, we talked about some stuff! hee, only paid attention to the class discussion and practice of the item like 50% f the time? After that wasDINNAH. Again, we said the HUNGRY HUNGRY cheer (and this was going to be said before the start of every meal). Dinner was worse than lunch? Partially the food but mostly because the students were all so freaked out by the big flies which loved the lights at the shelter there and kept screaming. I got see before during ATC do i didn't really care much. But after awhile, i started to get impatient laa, cause all their screaming was causing dinner to be delayed. We took half an hour to settle. And then after dinner, Chief Mojo "talked" to us about our behaviour. They said they didn't believe in scolding, since this was a leadership camp. Or something like that.
After that gotcampfire songs(mostly we NPCC people know already)! As in we practise under the shelter. Hehe, while doing the Bumblebee cheer, with Yao Xing leading, Chief Mojo suddenly cut in and said stop/wait in japanese. Then Yao Xing freezed at his then-current position! Chief Mojo then carried him out while he was still in his frozen position. Like so cool and he was like very light laa! (anw he so skinny...) For the rest of the Bumblebee cheer, Chief Mojo played with Yao Xing's hands to do the actions for the song. But damn good leh, YAo Xing must have had a really good stamina or what to be able to remain "frozen" for sucha long time. After that was..NIGHT ACTIVITY! Brenda Goh and Sarah Tan were kidnapped and the groups were supposed to complete a set of tasks to obtain a key and find Brenda Goh. Again, Yao Xing helped us alot to speed up our tasks and stuff. He even lead us to where all the kidnapees were without us asking him to laa! But we carried Brenda Goh all the way back to the basketball court. Hehe, was abit obscene for her, cause her shirt kept going up and revealing her back. But it was fun, though tiring! (:
By the time the night activity ended, it was quite late already so there wasn't any supper or debrief. We like immediately proceeded withwash-up. The toilet got BITING ANTS you know! damn what lor, they just keep climbing up your shoe and your legs as soon as you step into the toilet and even INSIDE your shoe. Irritating pests..first time i experienced ant bite too. For the sleeping part, two beds were pushed together and a few sleeping bags were laid on it. Me, Darice, Vanessa Tan and Crystal all four slept on it hehe, with me and Crystal at the extreme ends and Darice was sleeping beside me. Was abit squeezy and in the middle of the night i woke up realising that my blanket wasn't covering my legs already and well, so i pulled back from Darice. hee, fun-ness.
ehm..posting now cause i was a little disturbed on thursday...
eh..i have an awesome 'GAY' PARTNER/ BARNEY, aka kai ying! church friend laa, sec 2. last time from st nicks pri one.
anw, i told Bianca that we call each other gay partners for fun laa (because got one time we pretended to be les and walk along the road with tracy and seeyi in front, our arms over each others' shoulders ,hehe). then Bianca was a little concerned that because i put 'I LOVEE MY GAY PARTNER/BARNEY;D' as my pm on messenger, she was a little worried that people who are les or not may take it as an offence. and then she said something like she thought i'm like a very devoted christian and stuff so i think she thought i wouldn't say/do such a thing one laa. When i heard it right, i started to think laa. as in it never occurred to me before..i just thought since it's just for fun, playplay, and that me and kai ying were both PERFECTLY straight, it would be okay.
but after she said right, then i started to think that perhaps it would probably give other people a not so good impression? (if they think it's real, or not the other meaning, which gay = happy) then i started to think that i as a christian should have set a good example. but now i dun care! i just continue to put as my pm.
ohohohOH!! guess what?? ON FRIDAY I WENT FOR THE PLANETSHAKERS CONCERT! very cool and omg, its free! once a year only.. so happy man..then sound system very good also..all surround.. jumping and praising god so fun!! yeah had so much fun although not much space cause sharon and emily squeezed in between with us just before the concert sterted. actually supposed to start at 7.30pm but you know, usually concerts will have delay of any sort because of the people wanna go inside or something, so yeah it was delayed. ohyeah, the singers weren't out of tune at all leh! and it's like usually when poeple perform live they'd tend to go out of tune at least once laa. Saw a couple of st nick girls go there also but well, the only one i know well and have no feelings of dislike whatsoever towards is Benita. She shouted hi to me when she saw me haha. the rest are like abigail tang, gloria ang (blehh!), vanessa from sec 3 hope (blehh!), cleo, etc. but idc them! hee. it ended at 10.30, and well reached home at about 12 plus. then called kai ying and talked to her till 2.30. (andand today woke up at 8.30 somemore..)
However, what really touched me was seeing so many christians gathering together at the concert. And of course, you know that there are definitely more out there. Another thing that touched me was how the Planetshakers and Tim Hughes impacted the lives of non-christians among us and in the end, a lot of them accepted christ at the end of the concert. ahh..thank god for such concerts that may touch the lives of the many lost sheeps in the world. i hope that they can do more of such things, cause i really wanna see more people knowing christ and oh, may the faithful believers out there not be prosecuted by the government for worshipping Jesus! may the Lord watch over them, give them the strength to continue to perservere in their mission to spread the Gospel. May God always watch over them and be with them.
today during shepherd's meeting (unit), we were asked to think of one person there and affirm them laa. i started to affirm emily..saying that she always makes an effort to come down for things like how she rushed down for the concert. then after that i agreed with sharon that she listens whenever people complain to her. i DON'T KNOW WHY, but at that moment i started to cry. they started to pass me a tissue laa and i didnt get to finish affirming her. what i wanted to say and noticed was.. I think she's very sacrificial. and..you know, ever since the night of the sleepover when *ahem* like vent her anger (as in like scold/complain/released her frustration) to emily on the phone because there was some unhappiness on that day laa. and it was like, mostly not her fault? yet, she was the one who lent *ahem* a listening ear..just like she gives one to everyone. i really thank god for her you know. Somehow or another i get this feeling that emily actually has some personal problems in her life la, and she's also physically drained. However, she manages to keep that smile on her face almost everytime one sees her. And she can still crack the whole caregroup up. I thank god for her being strong laa, and also..for her faithfulness and dedication to her sheeps. She's had some difficult sheeps and how she managed to bring them back/connect them is so amazing... she'll make a great careleader someday. (:
