camp everyday

Yaysie! Came back from camp and I am feeling the spiritual high I heard people talk about. Heheh. I am so excited to type it all down. Where should I start? Of course the 1st day lah. So here goes. Haha.hope you all can read till the end because this entry is going to be a long one.

1st day: daddy dropped me and Bryan off at yio chukang mrt station. We went in and saw only a few timmies. So disappointed. Walked across the street to Presbyterian high school. Our campus for the year's tm camp. My fila roller bag went crazy on the way! Like the wheels were stuck and could not be rolled. So I had to carry it lah.sarah Wong had to help me and I really thank you Sarah. If not for you, I think I wouldn't have managed across the street.

Registered for the camp and found out that our bunks and the seminar room were on the 4th floor!! Wah.want to make me die..haha.plus my spoiled fila bag.argh!! Luckily for me. Ian came to the rescue. Nice Ian offered to help me carry my bag up.haha.yay!! Save me from all the trouble.aiya. But guys were made to help girls what.haha.still.thank you so much Ian.

Angel, Jeanne, Christina teo, Penelope, Cheryl Wong, Jamie, Alvin, Eliel, Joshua, Moses, Ashley, Yujin, Seth, Malcolm, Benjamin. All these people were in burger king. The leaders were Amy tan and shufen but Jonathan lead when Amy couldn't. Yay! Burger king rocked!

The first day games were alright. We had to stand in a line and like do things to the person behind. Like brush their teeth, feed them jelly, tie their hair and paste stickers or something and so on. The girls had to put on hair gel and guys, tied hair with stickers. Stupid lah.my hair kana gel. The leaders forced us to stand boy girl boy girl. Like why? I was stuck in between eliel and Joshua.
The next game was to like ' decorate' the leader. Amy was tied to this chair and we had gel, toilet paper, hairpins, lipstick and so on. But when it came to my turn to decorate Amy, the game was ended. Eee.i had like no chance. Aiya.

Sermon that night was very different. Mike was our speaker from New Zealand. He was there with his wife Donna. Wowsa! This man is really a man of God and he could like prophesize. The sermon was very easy to understand. Normally in camps the altar call would be on the 2nd or 3rd night. But he called for response on the 1st night. I responded but cried little. I wanted to cry more but aiya.

The beds were just mats and our own sleeping bags on top. Better than nothing lah. The weather was so cold I woke up a few times to cover myself with a t-shirt. Like pathetic.

2nd day: sermon in the morning, devotion. I heard God telling me to be bold and be strong but I didn't know what he meant. So Amy told me to wait. It was the first time hearing from God and I almost didn't believe it.
Mike talked about holistic and dualistic views. The message was a little difficult to comprehend but aiya. Still can lah. Learnt quite a bit from mike.
The games were station by station. We had to carry people through raffia strings, together balance a cup of water on a flimsy tablecloth, pass chairs to the front of a row of chairs so that we could move the whole line forward. This game mike just stepped up with us on the chairs halfway through the game and started playing with us. Like haha. Extra points.
Our team got full marks for all these and had extra time to rest cos' we finished fast. Heheh.

Crawl in soil and them in rotten stuff to get 60 seconds and try save 2 people. This one only Seth and Alvin went through. They saved the leaders already what..
Slide on soapy benches then put your head in tomato sauce to find a mentos. We had to do this twice but I found a way to keep clean. Heheh.
Spin around a pole, run pass chairs to 2 station and find mentos in both stations. I missed this one. We ran out of time but already had enough people to get full points. So far, we aced everything. all full points.yay!

Pass water bombs using plastic sheets. Aced.
Pass water with broken cups to reach the marking. Aced.
Write kia ora using toes and then burst water bombs with our bodies. Aced and not wet.
( kia ora is hello in New Zealand language.)

Transfer water with broken cups, now must run over the legs of the rest of the members. Aced.
Spell 40 characters using our bodies in kneeling position. Aced.
Do jigsaw while half the team do exercise. Didn't finish. No time. But still, got some points.

Overall, we got second. Lost to long johns by 1 mark. We got 312 points. Yay!

Sermon that night. I can never forget. We were asked to respond but I didn't feel anything. So I didn't respond and move to the front. I prayed and ask for the Holy Spirit to fill me. Amy Teo prayed me for in tongues. I cried a little but then stopped. So I prayed again to ask for more. Then Maria came to pray for me. I suddenly felt weak and could not stand. So a few people helped me down on the ground.

I started to shiver. They put some jackets over me. Then I shivered even more and like could not control myself. Quite scary. Like my brain is not in charge. Haha. It was more of like sudden stiffness of my body and like must stretch all the muscles in my body at the same time and like have to curl up and stand up at the same time. Plus I couldn't open my eyes or speak at all. No voice. Just a big mess. Haha. I shivered then suddenly stop, then start again. Quite frightening but cool at the same time. Haha.

A lot of people came to pray for me. Amy Tan prayed about the words ' be bold and be strong' that morning. I remembered and started crying. Like a lot of people were surrounding me and all. At that time, God told me He wanted to use me to be a blessing to others and to be the person who draws people closer to God. I don't really know how. Maybe by seeing me, pray for me and strengthen relationship with God or something lah.

Anyway, Amy said I was shivering for past an hour. Haha. I remember being lifted or something by Jonathan I think. Amy asked him to so that she could pray for me I think.. Not very sure. Anyway, Grace was with me too..

When I woke up, I was still weak but able to see. Everyone was like praising God so I joined in. What an experience man. Super cool.Super. I don't mind missing the night game apparently very fun. Haha.

3rd day: Devotion, Amy was like telling the whole cg what happened and all. She even said it was spasm or something lah. Haha.
Angel was like speaking tongues last night, a lot responded. Jeanne was super cool with her praying.. Blah blah.

Sermon on what I can't really remember, I lost my camp booklet!! Argh!! And I have so many notes inside!! Argh!!

That day played the vicinity code. Like hello, ask me to play that kind of game.. No transportation. Everything by foot. Wah.. Going to the first station already made my feet ache and sore. Alvin offered to carry me quite a few times but aiya. Still can walk lah. And I will be wasting his energy what. So I refused.

The games were rather crazy. Fix jigsaw puzzles, walk round a playground 3 times with hoops and 5 people stuck in the hoop, step on newspapers to cross a bridge and stuff.. we lost our way a few times, had to wait for help and all. Then on the way to one of the stations, we had to climb this really big hill. Elizabeth lee and peiyun's station was on a hill!! Stupid place lah! And I was very very tired already. Alvin offered to carry me again. Now I agreed. Once he carried me he brought me all the way up lah!! Like woh!! And he was running! Shufen was behind asking him to put me down because it was on the road and if he or me fell, it would be a long way down. Haha. But no problem lah..Thank you Alvin. I will be grateful. Haha..Oh yea. And can I make it clear to everyone, including the drama team, that Alvin only carried me up a hill, not married me. So please stop teasing me and Bryan, stop saying you want him as a brother-in-law when you are about to sleep. Don't sacrifice me for yourself. That's selfish. Oh yea, since I am at this, I also do not like tsura. It's just that I don't know him at all and so thus what happened during drama practice. Yes! I finally had my chance to tell the whole world about me! Yaysie! Haha. Ok, back to camp..

The game ended very late but we still didn't finish all the station. We didn't win anything either.we had a very nice dinner!!! Spaghetti and fish and chicken.. woah!! Almost heavenly! Haha.. all the other meals were quite horrible. I didn't even finish half my food. Lucky for me, I had the Alvin and eliel sitting in front of me, and the ever hungry ns guys sitting the next table. Heheh. All the chicken wings, chicken drumsticks, fish, rice, some veg, all went to them. Hahaha..There were games and all during dinner. I went up to do the hula hoop. But how would I know it would be so tiny and light. Eee..ask me to do normal ones I can do for hours, but that was like. What the. And we had to balance a cup of water on our heads..

There was a short sermon at night, then we all had an exercise. Like in our cg, a person would be in the middle and we all would just wait for God to tell us something about this person. I was told to smile and be a blessing and all!! Like woah!! Seth had a laughing fit then and we ended really late. Angel had a headache and so didn't join the activity. She was like at a corner. Poor thing.

After the activity, I went to join Angel. She was like lying down on Jon. We accompanied them for a while then me and Jeanne went down for supper. Biscuits.
James was like asking me to look at Daniel Chia. I looked at him then he started to do handstands on the table. Then walked on his hands down and up the table. We were all cheering him lah. Haha. Super cool.

Spent time in the seminar room afterward with Christina teo. Almost slept. Slept at am.
Woke up at 8. Super groggy. Breakfast pack up. Testimony. I shared what happened to me on the second night. Angel almost shared lah. But she didn't. Nicole went to take her place. That's about all..helped to bring camp things down to the coaches. why did the camp committee buy so much toilet paper? jeanne and i helped to carry down like almost 4 packets with 10 rolls inside each..i was thinking about my poor fila bag gonna be pushed down the steps to level 1 by me when nice ian came and asked if i needed him to carry my bag down again. heheh..guess if i took on his offer..heheh.. took the coach back to church, helped them unload and pack up, then went for lunch with angel, her 2 brothers, j kwok, bryan and zech. Mummy and daddy then brought us home from Singapore post center. Went home, bathe, sleep.
