yes. my encounters for two weeks. before i start, please pray for twin. she's having a fever of more than 38 degrees celsius.
2 weeks ago...monday:
met joyce and jocelyn and the rest of them at buona vista mrt station..hahaha. surprisingly, i was the first to reach despite me leaving my house at rather a late hour. was carrying a broom and a pail (which never found its way back to my house again) and my big bag for staying over and walking around and having pple looking at me strangely as if i'm someone pretending to by a sweeper or something:)
yeah well:) games went quite smoothly...though we did take a lot of time trying out each game. hahaa:)we also prayed for ruisi 'cos she was having a fever...
by 8+ we were quite hungry...and we had yet to decide on a place to stay over at 'cos the nus eusoff hall pple said tt we can't stay over in their hall afterall..they'll be locking the place up:| and the idea of travelling back to toa payoh and travelling to nus again the next day didn't quite appeal to me, so i decided to stay over at central rc with cathy, yuqian, lausanne, jason and two other brothers whom i've forgotten the names of:| heh.
after dinner we tried out the games for 'amusing race'...was quite excited about my station 'cos everyone screamed when we tried my station out and i was just laughing my head off. hehehe:)
then we had this station whereby you have to flip urself over (called suicide window) from one side of the railing to another...it was quite scary just before u had to flip 'cos it seemed as though u'll bang ur head against the railings and concuss or something...or else u'll prob just slip and fall and everything else. but once u tried it, it's really fun. hahaha:) shirley came to join us and she tried it too..
then off we went to rc to rest. haha. me and yuqian and mandy and shirley hopped onto the first cab seen... so bad right. the rc was super near nus...it's extremely near holland village. haha:) it's like. 1 min walk away or something:)
yeah well. being the first to reach rc, me and yuqian decided to go to 7-11 to get something...then we saw the rest coming up by the lift, so we waited for them...and alvin (one of the brothers of whom i forgot the name just now...heh) held an extremely fast 'caregroup' inside the lift. super corny.
i dunno what yuqian did...but i remember chasing her all the way to 7-11 in someone's super heavy slippers. they're nice to step around with 'cos they're heavily cushioned with lots of air...but it's not fun to run around with them. hehe:)
yeah well. we made the signs and everything that night. quite an amusing night. just laming around...can't really remember doing wat. mandy and the rest of the leaders stayed up the whole night finishing the name tags for us. so touched. hehee.
took a cab down the next morning and we did our best to try to finish everything (eg. filling up flour...) the half-hour before registration started was super confusing and busy...everyone had to rush things to do..and 3/4 of the games comm pple were still with freddy preparing for the amusing race... and the few of us left had lots of things to pack and finish...and the pieces of cloth, turned from very nicely cut to... (eh..) not-so-nicely cut:D thought it was quite interesting how u can improvise on cutting cloth as well. hhaa:)
yeah. then the rest of the day was when games commenced and teaching commenced and the rest of the brothers and sisters came (so nice to see them again:D)
i think the thing about camps is that they contain a lot of fresh insights, new goals, renewed passion, interesting memories, knowledge, deep thinking, fun and laughter which can't really be contained in a page-ful of words...and the best i can do is to retain these as memories, packed to keep them as fresh as if i am still reliving them when i think back about the camp. so yes. i can't really put the three days of camp into words either.
i responded in the camp to two main things... one is about what i do with the time i have (more specifically, do i align what i do to the vision?) second thing is responding to being a cl by jan 2005. actually i responded to it as a sign of truly wanting to follow my leaders and support them all the way. how to say. like... my main focus is to fulfill the vision that we have for vj...and it doesn't really matter to me if i'm a cl or not. just that if God appoints me to be one, i'll definitely accept it.
i can't quite remember what i did last friday. or sat ('cept that there was service and jasmine did a very nice 'card' for jocelyn:D). or sunday ('cept that my mum and sister and i went out to shop for clothes to wear to my cousin's wedding dinner night. what's this. year of weddings of nieces and cousins? *boggles* haha).
ah well.
monday. studied with jiali at macs before wfl... hahha. shepherd had to take care of sheep, so shepherd took sheep up to oceania room when she was going to prepare as well. sheep was quite amused and felt that she was having extended shepherding during wfl and now sheep thinks she's talking in xinyi's style.
tuesday...tuesday was a day of chalet..hahaa. was arguing with myself if i should go 'cos i can really use that one more day for studying...but went in the end 'cos i'll be disappointing two groups of pple if i dun go:) hehee. first was the chalet with 03S1D...me and steph thought we're late...in the end, we were the first females to reach:|
played mahjong (haha. munbbill is surprisingly good at it:|) and bridge... (hahhaa! 10-4... unfortunately ...or fortunately, depends on how u look at it, grouped with thong kheng. we won the 10 sets!!!:D:D:D) and heart attack. some things i remember was the crab killing minutes spent AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN 'cos crab killing didn't quite appeal to me (:P), eating nutella on its own and shouting 'hello!' to the pple at 'wild wild wet' with michelle and actually getting responses.
main food supply was chips and drinks. junk food basically.
then went over to tracy's chalet! hahaha. it was a combination of the former nygep pple and the rj pple. ate lots of food. chicken wings, marshmellows, satay, otah, sausages, crabmeats, chocolates, watermelon, potato with butter (or satay sauce)...yeah well:D
tracy and qing and weez are crazy:D hehe. i wanted to play bridge after all that eating and they wanted to play basketball:D we did play bridge. one round (!!!) and then it was basketball. can u imagine, all the food in our stomach? got a stitch after the game...combined with four guys who were there before us.
had study cg on wednesday:D was quite interesting. i observed a few study patterns about myself... then studied with them together on thurs again:D we should have an overnight study session. most of the time i was just getting into the mood to study again when i had to go home... :(
studying at amk galilee cafe with steph and dancing was too short to be effective. hehee. well thankfully i did finish my econs mindmap...so at least i can refer to it next time:)
TODAY IS SATURDAY!:D it was a hilarious saturday so it shall have an entry of its own. anyway, this one is getting too long for comfort. hhahaa:)
