Haha that's my group name for youth camp!! and yup i'm back from camp, taken 2 days of leave and feeling recharged. haha.. before the camp i have been staring at the comp monitor for long hours till my eyes feel like they're bulging out and my head aches.
btw. if you've checked out my previous entry, there's a pic. I forgot to intro it. this shop offers Western, Jap, Korean and Chinese cuisine. lol. very nice though! the menu listed Fried Rice, Minced Meat noodles but are not available =( they have Salmon Fried rice, but not Fried Rice. how funny. also the shop name - in Chinese it's Tang Xiao Chu, but the English name it's Hang?s Delight. (Have you spotted 2 mistakes?) They never demand the designer to reprint..
ok back to updates.
30 Nov Fri
Diana finished her exams! Went for dinner with her at Mos Burger (yummy) and shopping at Wisma (argh.. oops haa okay la they're quite fine clients) and finally used my Topshop card! ah yes Weiting was referring to the black and gold dress I bought. It's $56 after sale. will upload the pic later. =P I can never find anything in Topshop man. Too ex and the clothes don't look worth the price. Went to Esprit upstairs after that and saw a lot of nice clothes!! Looking forward to my HK trip. Will shop lots lots!
1 Dec Sat
Went to Orchard again in the morning, this time with my mom. There was a Children's Charity carnival going on and my mom has free carnival coupons from her boss. So nice hor!! Spent the coupons on mainly food, and some bags, stuffed toys, games, and special items like Prison Break folder and a Lost notebook. Left at around 1+pm. Took train to Bedok where I'm supposed to meet my cell grp to go ECP.
Spent the whole time there learning to ride a bike (again) while the rest took turns to teach me and cycle around. It really hurt my whole body... Suffered lotsa injuries (sobz) After returning the bikes we took Ben's car to get to the food centre. oh man i ate a lot. Haa..
Wanton mee, satay, carrot cake, chicken wing, coconut!! After that nothing much to do, so we went back. Took train with Matthias towards the east and decided to call my dad to fetch me. Turns out my parents are in Tampines! So I alighted to find them. Felt a little hungry (oops!) and ate some more. Walked around Tampines to find the right bus stop to take bus 34 home.
Tired.
2 Dec Sun
Still tired and aching ALL over. had breakfast with my mom (actually i was the only one having a drink) and then walked to church. YAY the MCG Newsletter is printed and distributed!!! very happy haa.. got new song for camp. a lot of pple weren't at service because of Children's camp as well as StanChart Marathon. after service had lunch with Psalmist and prac for youth camp sessions.
surprisingly i wasn't sleepy even after prac. so i went out with some M'kk guys and Gabriel, to Vivocity. it was Vincent's bday so it was sort of a celebration for him ba. had dinner at Terra Cafe (i only realise i've been to the one in Bugis after I saw the menu) didn't have enough money to order more. hmmm.. haven't got my money after transferring funds. walked around and then went back.
3 Dec Mon
Worked a bit late, so by the time i called my dad he was already home from Kovan. and I wanted to go Kovan!!!!
Went to enrol myself in Comfort Driving Centre. I came out feeling very scared, lost, inconfident of driving!!! haha.. i've always thought myself to become a very dangerous driver, very blur on the roads kinda thing because i can't coordinate my limbs. i thought i've conquered my inconfidence by thinking that, since there are so many drivers out there, how difficult can it get? but i have to keep praying that God will guide me all the way.
4 Dec Tue
Wanted to ask pple out for movie, until i realise that.. today got prayer meeting!! very few pple there. from youth only Evelyn, Ron and myself. wahaha.
5 Dec Wed
Haven't been talking about work because there's too much to complain about. haa.. i felt very racist suddenly, since my Chinese colleague wasn't around.
after work went to take bus to Cineleisure. alighted behind Taka instead cuz i thought it would be faster, but i had to detour cuz there wasn't a traffic light where i needed to cross so i had to walk back, to the front of Taka! it was pouring heavily so it slowed me down a lot. =x the SAJC mentors had a grad dinner at Meritus Mandarin so Theodore had to rush. oh, i was going to meet him and Wen Zheng to discuss youth camp stuff. finalised on our camp group name as well as identification. Wen Zheng had lost his wallet but managed to recover it, only after our meeting. haa. Praise God.
6 Dec Thur
One day before the camp! haa.. went to buy gold cloth for our group identification. as well as some toiletries - it's so convenient to work at Chinatown =) so excited about the camp. haa.
packed my bag and tried to sleep early, but i was kinda bothered about my finances. argh. received a call, at first i thought it was some stalker from my poly, then i realise it's one of my group members. i wonder how he got my number, since he shld be contacting the person who called him?
7 Dec Fri
Camp! My dad gave me a lift since he was going to work about the same time. wanted to have breakfast, but i woke up too late, so no time.
For Bless1000 my group is assigned to go to Bishan - haa we happen to have 2 Bishan residents. Deb is very familiar with the place, so we split up and went to give out the Christmas tracts at a prime position. after we were done, a lady who knows Deb bought canned drinks for us. then we went to find the guys. bought some snacks from the pasar malam there :P took bus back and it was soon time for lunch haa.. Nasi Lemak. no serviettes leh. haa.. didn't bring my own mug so didn't get drink =(
after a while we boarded the bus to Camp Christine. passed by the Jalan Bahtera MOE Adventure campsite where i had bad memories.. haa.. and had great and funny memories at Camp Christine, where i first had my period when i haven't been educated. man, i thought i had some disease or what la. freaked out. haa.. and i still remember who was the one who helped me with my first pad :P okok stop it.
played "ice-melting" games and also combined with another group to play some games during our free time. After that i realised i was on duty and supposed to have dinner first! haaa.. Jem drove us in Aloy's car to Salvation Army. it was there that i realise i didn't bring my jacket to camp at all. so i borrowed a jacket from Wen Zheng last min. haa.. Auntie Joyce Chow preached about Witness Jesus.. learnt that there are actually mistakes that are easily committed when u reach out to friends. actually we ought to preach Jesus and His love for our friends, rather than what He can do for them, or else they will only ask Jesus for help when they need it but when things are fine they stop going to church. Or.. when things seem to turn for the worse though they ask Jesus for help they lose faith. know what i mean?
after that took bus back with the group. so tired. had supper and vesper with the group, then leaders' debrief. dunno why this time i feel like i'm not doing enough as a leader, like there's more that could be done. i think i have been a camp group leader before, but it felt easier then, probably because i was kind of an intern? hmm.. went to shower and then QT and sleep. froze during the night cuz i didn't have my jacket. =( haa
8 Dec Sat
Woke up early for prayer. felt more refreshed =) had pancakes for breakfast. haa.. attended workshop on sharing the 4 SLs in Canto.. led by Jeffrey. i was shun bian learning Canto. haa..
after that Chris shared on Apologetics.. it means something like defending our faith. meanwhile i was a little distracted, because i had called my dad to bring a jacket for me. At first i asked him to bring to Salvation Army in the evening, since the campsite is super inaccessible, but he asked my mom whether she wanted to come along to Lim Chu Kang, i didn't feel bad la.. like shun bian go pa tor. haha..
had a power 10 min nap. then we played dirty games... i was really reluctant man. very stressed, considering i have to set an example for my group. for the past few years the games weren't that rough lor. sobz.. haha. i think my group saw my effort to play la, hope that encouraged them. =P i think we really had fun and didn't stress ourselves out to win. went to shower after that. realise i didn't exactly have a lot of time to rest before dinner. asked Jem for the stuff that my dad passed to him. he actually brought along my silk comforter, in a backpack!! it takes up a lot of space when folded, and i already brought a backpack on the first day, my dad shld have known! ahaha.
brought my jacket to Salvation Army. I feel so loved =) hahaha.. did projection with Guorong. a bit stressed cuz that night we did a lot of impromptu songs. including Party by Chris Tomlin they did for Live Concert, i don't even know that song! went back to campsite for supper and vesper and leaders' debrief. we all agreed that we did better today. =)
9 Dec Sun
doesn't feel like Sunday. haa.. today woke up a bit late for prayer. after that we had cell group time. a few of us were constipating and joking about having a "smooth" time. haha.. then i realise we haven't had fruit in our meals. hmmm... Wen Zheng shared what he learnt through the sessions, after Theodore led worship. i believe the Holy Spirit had left a stirring in the hearts of our members. =) had lunch and then phototaking session, and while waiting my group played some games. then we had indoor games and boy, it poured very heavily man. the tennis game was super stressful. haa.. after that we had free time. wanted to take a nap but i couldn't fall asleep, so i went to see what my group was doing. joined them in playing the table soccer game, but we improvised it by using straw etc. so cool haha.. we left saliva all over the table. wahaha.. the team that loses will stuff 4 marshmallows in the mouth throughout the Finale night. haha. my team was the one that lost!! after that we played individual and i lost, so i had to stuff an extra marshmallow. sobz.. haha..
went to shower and then played Saboteur with Nelson, Elisa, Seng Tiong and Naomi. my first time playing, but managed to grasp the idea. haha.. we only had time to play one round cuz we spent too much time watching another group playing Mafia, which takes super long. soon it was time to head to the hall for the Finale night. the tables were decorated with tealight candles.. so romantic! and we had spaghetti for dinner!! background music was good =) Wen Zheng was the emcee for the Finale Night and Aloy was the entertainer. hahaha.. he's really good man.
during the Leaders Appreciation session my group was really very sweet. theodore, wen zheng and myself went up with marshmallows stuffed in our mouths as forfeit for the games we played earlier. my group shouted "sun oi lei!!" to me cuz it was really funny when i tried to pronounce it during the Vesper the night before. =) feel so loved
our group won the consolation prize but we weren't disappointed or what la. i'm glad my group is really sporting. =) feel so touched and wanted to have a time of sharing, but we went to play Blind man's bluff. at first i was okay to play that game, till i saw how scary Paul could get playing that game. i freaked out and decided to sit one corner. ahha.. after a while other group members started to join us. and after a few injuries we decided to play Mafia. it was really a long game. played a few rounds and a few pple got sian already. some of us went to watch the Hokkien debate between Nigel and Jason. haha.. then i went to sleep. ..it was about 4am already haha..
10 Dec Mon
ohh last day of camp... had chee cheong fun for breakfast and the group was laughing at the way i eat it. haha.. i had to open up the rolls and eat it like hor fun. i'm sure there are people out there who eat like that too! after breakfast it was time to pack up and clean up the area. i feel so lazy~~ haha.. there were nice guys who helped us clean the girls' assigned spots. then at 10am we gathered at the main hall for final thanksgiving and dismissal.
took the bus back to church and some of us stayed to help the camp comm move the stuff to the office. then my cell grp went to Mac's for lunch. wasn't hungry so i ordered Happy Meal =) kept shitting. haha.. shitz. went home to shit and sleep, wake up for dinner, shit, watch tv (Heroes!), tried to shit. and haha okok stop it.
