The 3 Es- Embrace, Edify and Empower
hmmm. if u were to ask me what happen during the camp
i guess one whole long blog entry is not enough?
rights june and joanne?
i guess. this camp is really different.
from ALL THE CAMPS tt i have ever been to for my WHOLE 18 yrs of life.
right june?
it is a different experience(pardon me for my limited vocab).
everythg is just so different.
i shall do a daily analysis ok haha. short one though.
day 1-
reached june's church. everyone super friendly.
first church person i kind of made friends with is san san!
2nd one is venetia. the rest cannot remb le haha.
june brought me on a mini tour around her church.
btw her church name is Calvary Assembly of God Church. right june?
reached the campsite. some boys and girls brigade campsite. which is ultra ulu!
in sembawang! allocated our dorms. dorm no 35!
which consists of me, joanne, june (yeahs s1b! haha), jody, justyne, karen, abigail, clarice and aunty christine.
boy tt seems like a lot of ppl!
anws WE ROCK. most imptly!
anws, we were divided into our games grp too!
they are so nice to put me and june in same grp.
poor joanne, group 2. luckily there's audrey(june's sis) in her grp!
anws june and I are from CROSS EYED!!!
ok the 6 diff grps are- Fire, SOS, CROSS EYED, ZAI, CFC and JOKES(haha)!
erms the names sounds lame, but got spirtual meaning one ok!
anws my grp consists of me, june, etc. haha. got ard 14 or 15 of us.
june is asst leader man!
we played some steal-e-other-grps-slippers and wrap-e-egg-so-tt-it-wont-break game!
had service at night.
boy, i admit i was very shocked.
june, if u didnt prepare me, i will have fainted!
spaghetti for dinner. boy, there was so much meat.
puny joanne cannot finish.
day 2-
had devotion in the morning.
aunty christine is our leader!
met lisa and christine. nicee ppl! :)
e church is so considerate to put us in the same grp.
cos somehow we had the same doubts abt eveerythg!
played dodgeball for 2 hrs? quite exciting game.
basically, i cant dodge or throw for nuts.
there was like once i went in and immediately i AM OUT. haha. how lousy. didnt see the dumb ball coming in my way lah.
BUT BUT, i managed to shoo someone from the opponent team out. i think! hooray! cheers!!!! :) thumbs up for myself* haha.
service again at night.
Rev Pamela Seaward has seriously a fantastic memory!
The stories she shared are quite funnie.
I guess tues night was the 1st night tt i got a bit emotional?
With each night, i am faster at flipping the bible. Cheers!
at least now i noe Psalms and Proverbs are in the middle of the bible.
day 3-
WET games day. i think the game was FUN. but damn tiring.
boy, how tired i was at the end. i only lk the pingpong part lah cos i was lk the fastest at tt station i think! hahaa.
but then as i ran to the 3rd station, some guy ran past me like a gust of wind.
to summarize the whole game.
stn 1: run across this slippery mat which is full of soapy water.
stn 2: bite the pingpong ball. cannot use ur hand. the ball was in a bowl of FLOUR. haha i chose the one whereby the ball was damn obv. i bite and just ran off.
stn 3: take a huge bite from either apple, celery or tomato. i guess ppl w the right mind will choose apple. ok lah. got since most ppl eat the apple, means sharing saliva la haha. anyways. no hands allowed again.
stn 4: fill up 4 plastic bags with water! and boy, i was the slowest lah. cs i couldnt tie the damn plastic bag. i think i suck!!! arggh. so anws some ppl just filled up 2 plastic bags lors. and june u noe what. Pastor Chad give me 5 plastic bags. luckily i ask the other ppl, eh must fill how many.
stn 5: the HARDEST. go the beach and fill up styrofoam cups w seawater.
run up to the shore
stand behind this line, AIM and like fill up the small buckets a dist away with the water inside the cups. donnoe if u guys get it a not.
damn frustrating. when my water managed to lk get into the bucket. some water splashed out. means NO DIFF.
luckily, my gp member sara came to my rescue! haha. with combined efforts, we DID it. haha. anws other grps also like needed 2 or 3 ppl's efforts to finish the tasks.
i thot got like six stns. cant remb lah but think i am right!
anws, u have to RUN from one stn to another.
and i was bare-footed. ran on GRASS, SAND and ROAD? pain man.
service at night.
getting more emotional.
day 4-
this is the DAY man. MOST emotional.
i was the extra one during bible quiz. cos i noe nothg abt the bible.
i felt so useless. could only look on. sigh.
treasure hunt! oh man this is the HIGHLIGHT of the DAY man. haha. winks winks at joanne and june*
guess who we saw!
SYLVESTER. hahaahahahahahahaahahahah.
like not qiao. at sembawang park at 1am.
with a grp of girls. quite young. younger than me.
and 2 guys i think.
but when we met him, he was playing guitar. sitting on the top of the bench.
while the rest were sitting on the bench. can u picture the scene? haah
e other 2 guys i cant be bothered haha. they were sitting at another bench.
anws. we got a tip-off from this guy called. BO MAO. i think.
cos right our games grp got this super good team player called dwayne(haha). he was in the top 45 of SI. indian-chinese? funky man. PINK HAIR. PINK slippers. lk not funnie lah. anyways, sly is his fwen lah. like duh.
when they saw each other, they give each other a "brother" hug.
then tok for a while. while the rest stared on haha.
june is so mean lah. and heartless and emotionless.
no least excited. cant b bothered with her haha.
my fone cam sucks. and obviously i am humji, don't dare go forward take foto
and most imptly, there was so many ppl around, it will be so paiseh.
n i concluded june's church ppl do not lk sly, they prefer taufik.
as we met other grps. everyone was like "did u see sylvester sim?".
and when we told some grps. eh sly is there. they don't believe.
anyways, i concluded he is weird, buaya and as fair as a ghost. and skinny.
