7:00 AM

Remember that day when I went to Serangoon Mac to do my PW and I saw Abel? Oh man, Lois was there after her Zhonghua council thingy which I just found out. Serangoon Mac, BAYouth territory. Legend.......
I forgot to mention that Bert gave me the vcds of "The Hunt For Red October" and "Batman Begins" Thanks Mate! I like the storyline of "The Hunt For Red October", that's why my gmail adress is redoctober89.. blah....blah. Anyway Bert was so worried about his lost Papermate pen saying that it was of sentimental value, whatever, ok just hope he finds it. AND I DID NOT TAKE IT, DON'T BLAME THE BOYS OR GB GIRLS. ARGH

Exactly one week to the start of the exams. Anyway, I went to J8 today to have lunch with Moses, Mike and Leon. We went to the food court to eat and discuss about topics that can be used for Leader's training. We stayed and then went to Christofori music school next door to check out some guitars. Then we went to Life book store. Jin Hao, Yong Huan and Yuan Ting came to look for me. I initially wanted to borrow notes from Jin Hao but had to rush off for BB. I went to St. Margaret's Secondary only to find Bertram, Ping Cheng(PC) and Roymond. Anyway, after that Bert and I discussed about stuff, then I was looking at some photos. Stayed for 2 hours then I left. Nothing interesting to blog about today. Still have a math problem to crack, I'm working on it. Looking forward to the end of the mid-year exams so I can really chill out with my friends. There is BAY tommorow, it's more of a Church Camp debrief, not sure if I can make it 'cause I still have to study. No life. Argh!!! But good news!
I will be able to go for Enrolment and Dedication service, I believe I can stay over too because my exams end on the 4th and there is only ONE paper on that day, Economics. So after the 2nd of July I only have ONE paper to sit for. YES! Praise God!

Today I went to Serangoon Central Mac at 12.30pm to discuss PW. Saw Abel, he was also discussing PW with his Poly friends. We discussed PW for 2 hours, then I went to Sherm's house to play X-Box. Anyway, after that I went home. I saw Wen Kai in J8 conducting a survey for his own PW. Yeah that's about it. Just studied mathematics. Love the subject.

LAST DAY. Woke up at 7, rather late but I was super shagged. Moses did not sleep at all and Sherman took a shower. I also showered then we went to heir room again. They were awake! So surprising. Anyway we went to the hotel lobby. Wei Jian and Wei Jun were playing table tennis. I was sitting on the couch and I actually fell asleep until Ivin woke me up. I went for breakfast with Sherm. We really whacked all the eggs and sausages since it was the last day. Did we have a message that day? I really forgot. Anway, I received a pack of Hershey's Cookies and Cream nuggets and a bag of caramel corn from my Angel. My Mortal gave me a carabiner. He actually left the night before and put it in the basket, oh well. Then, Wei Jian and Wei Jun came to my room to watch some show about crop circles. Super interesting, oh yar we had to go down for worship. We were late, sian....... I finally went to the toilet during the message, got rid of all the crap I ate during the camp. Then after the message, we went back to our rooms to pack up and leave. We were watching Van Helsing on HBO when the cleaners chased us out. No lar not so serious. Anyway, Sherm went to look for his parents. Moses and I went downstairs to his parents' room. Then we went for lunch. Ok, then my Angel gave me more chocs with a note saying :" You haven't the faintest idea who I am!". Seriously, I had NO idea, neither did Moses or Shermm. The handwriting was that of a girl's, and the contents were, oh well. We suspected Kel or Joel were capable of something like that. Anyway, we had our lunch in the hotel. NO SPAGHETTI WHY?! Then the bus came, then we left. Oh the bus people were playing bridge as usual. I slept for the first half of the trip, until we reached some honey farm, bee farm, whatever. NO DRINKS @#%$!%! We expected the HONEY farm to sell some honey drinks. Anyway, there was a petrol station across the road, SLAVATION. They sold cool drinks like Rose Syrup Soya Bean Milk which I bought for the twins. And also clear 100 Plus among other things. I bought a bottle of coke for myself. I was sitting with Wei jun for the remaining portion of the trip. So I talked to him about everything and we tricked Leon into believing that there was a stall in Little India selling homemade hamburgers. So lame. Anyway I forgot to mention that on the first day, Wilfred almost got held up by the customs for suspicious items. You see, the games commitee prepared some parcels for the game "Pass the Parcel" which bore resemblance to packs of cocaine! But he did nto get into trouble, by the grace of God. We were actually praying that the parcels that we meticulously wrapped would not get ripped open at the customs. Secondly, on the second day we had our afternoon games remember? The sky was threatening, but Timo and I prayed that the sky would clear up and it did! I rained only AFTER the games and the soccer match was over, 4 hours later. AMEN?
Back to Day 4. We went back to Singapore and I took a cab home.
Church Camp Rocked! Seriously the most intense 4 days of my life. Looking forward to next year's. Oh yes and this year's BAY camp.

7:06 AM

That morning we went to their room again. We tried to wake them up but they refused to wake up as usual. Ok we had morning breakfast then my Angel gave me more stuff, I got some Toblerone and a special crackling sweet so totally cool. Anyway, Christabel is like totally arguing with me all the time, I think it's quite fun. To sum the day up. Someone said that long entries bore people. Ok, I was in charge of a station for afternoon endurance games that day. Basically you had to search for a red gummy bear in the whole room. Wilfred's station was the most challenging, picture this; eating gummy bears dipped in salt, then eating a bitter gourd spread with wasabi and chilli padi. No Joke, everyone hated it. I only smelled it heh! Anyway that night we had BA night. WE sabohed a few people and said it was random. Kal and Timo wrestled on the stage, super funny. Anyway that night we had our last games meetin and the major debrief session. I opened Alan's Twisties without asking him, sorry! Yeah, after ther debrief, I went with some other peopel to a room to play bridge but as you know I don't play that game so Hozzy wanted to play Ping Pong so I went with her. Then Wilfred came, we played for 15 minutes then I left to look for Sherman. He was in the place I least expected. The room! Oh man, I thought he didn't have the key. But he did. Freaky. Anyway the next day we were left with only one key, mine. That night, I slept at 3.30.

+ AMEN

3:56 AM

I slept at 2.30 am the night before or the morning before... wadever. Anyway, Christabel and Lois requested that we give them a morning call. Moses decided that we should go for a morning run at 6am. We woke up at 5.30 am and did soem washing up, then the three of us (sherm, moses and I), went to their room and slammed on the door and ringed the bell 10 times. Yvonne opened the door, then we barged in and screamed, hoping they would wake up. Christabel was still sleeping like a cat, unbelievable. Anyway, she woke up after 30 minutes and took 10 minutes to get to the toilet from her bed. Anyway, we left their room and forgot all about our run because we went to play some table tennis. We went back to their room after that and guess what? Lois and Christabel were still sleeping!!Argh!!!
anyway they woke up at 6 plus. Then we went for breakfast at 730am then we went for the message. After the message was the discussions as usual. These things were rather routine.
Yes then we had lunch and then we had afternoon games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool. Ok I am waiting for Dom to send the pics to me.
I was taking a game with Timo where we buried packs of Corntos around the entire volleyball court at the beach. The teams' objectives were to look for them. By digging, blowing and other spastic actions. Some people actually crawled and thought they could find the Corntos. not to mention we buried bottle caps too, they were worth more points.
Anyway, after that we played soccer at the beach. Imagine 20+ youths playing soccer, bliss. But we were all exhausted after the match. I cut my leg because of the sand. I sprained my left thigh doing a stunt, I wanted to utilise the soft sand anyway. We played for like 2 hours, double bliss. Then we went back to our rooms to wash up. I used 3 bottles of soap and 2 bottles of shampoo from the hotel. The sand literally sticked to my skin.
Sherm was totally drenched with sweat, so were the rest lah. Anyway we had dinner and then the night message and then the discussions. This is all getting routine! Yes, the message was so long that we had to forgo night endurance games, why?! why?! Wilfred was totally complaining, but I was also quite frustrated too. Anyway, that night we had a very brief meeting. Oh not to mention, my Angel gave me another pack of cookies and some Ritz Chocolates and other stuff. I also bought a snickers bar for my mortal. Then I bought some stuff foor my Angel. I slept at 3 that night. This concludes day 2. Yes, Christabel and the other gals wanted a wake up call again. What happened? Stay tuned

9:42 PM

CAMP TOTALLY ROCKED!!! I miss the camp, seriously!
Let's begin from Day 1.
I went to Church at 7.30 am but bought some silken soya bean jelly(tao huey) from the stall in Serangoon Central for breakfast. When I got to Church there were already alot of people. We did some final logistics preparations for the camp. I am in the games team together with Timo, Christabel, Wilfred and Alan. So totally cool. I forgot what happened then. Ivin decided we should pray before the bus came. We prayed from 7.45 to 8.30 and then the bus came. Ivin is this year's Camp Commandant! Joyce, his wife, was the Discipline master so cool!
We got onto the bus when I realised that I had forgotten to buy something for my mortal!!!! ARGH! But thank God I had a frisbee with me.
Anyway, on the bus I sat with Moses. As usual, he wanted to play Bridge. Actually he did some studying first, so typical. If you are reading this, sorry! Anyway I went to sit with Wilfred whp was adjacent to Wei Jian and Wei Jun, my fave twins! ( they are guys by the way). I was like talking to them the entire trip. Wait, I forgot. Firs we stopped at some hawker center on the way. WHY IS THE FOOD IN MALAYSIA SO CHEAP AND GOOD?! I purchased a bowl on dumpling noodles which cost 3.50 rm and another platter of dim sum which cost 3.80 rm. I gave Giddy a prawn dumpling. The food was great!! Then Moses and I went to some provision shop across the road to but some sweets. The roads are very dangerous. Warning, never jay-walk on malaysian roads, Mo and I almost died! Thank God we didn't. When we got on the bus again after this pit stop, I started chatting with the twins again. I irritated almost everyone on the bus with Zhng My Car and the Mr Brown Show. Especially D.O.H.C. I'll be like asking everyone:" You know D.O.H.C.? Damn On and Hiong Camper?!" So I guess I was liek the DOHC Guy. Ok, halfway in the bus journey I fell asleep until Lois woke me up when we reached DESARU!!!
I saw Sherman there with a TOTAL 90 SOCCER BALL, wah salvation! We chilled out at some lounge in the Hotel. Then we went to the conference room which we booked for the entire 4 days. Yes Icebreakers! The games team was in total frenzy. Firstly, the stage was super small, imagine the height of Daniel Choo multiplied by the height of Ivan Chow. Seriously. But we improvised. Timo was super funny. He translated the instructions of the games into Chinese. He said: " The song will become faster towards the end" then he said in chinese: " Na ge ge hui chiong ar!" SUPER FUNNY. anyway we had worship first, Daniel played while Timo, Alan and I lead in the actions and stuff. We picked songs that were sort of bilingual so the mandarin and cantonese side could understand. Guess what NYJCians? Miss Liu Fang came for the camp! So cool, sian I did not take any photos during the camp. Anyway, the ice breakers were fun. After that, the Youths took the entire conference room. Wait no, we got our room keys first, Moses, sherman and I went back to our room to chill out and test the channel. sherman used his IPod Video to play some Jay Chou music video on the TV! So cool. Then we had out youths gathering in the conference room. Yes we played Angel and Mortal. My mortal was Stanley. I did not know who my angel was until the last day, but my angel was legend...... Anyway, Joel was the Youth commander, he told us to take a pillow from our rooms to play games. So fun, we played some mass soccer. It's hard to explain on my blog but anyway. We played alot of games. Then we had discussions with our groups. Wei Jian and Wei Jun, whom I will refer to as the "young- twins". Their cousin, Carol was in my group. I believe we made her feel welcome in the camp although she is from another Church. My group was very united. Wait!
I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE WATER IN THE TOILET WAS YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man. But the coffee rocked, so nice man. Yep, we then had our dinner at the outdoor cafe. It was very cooling and the food was great. We had spaghetti everyday YUM! there were other stuff to eat. That night we had a message from mr Lian Mun Yee, talking about Holiness. Our camp's theme was "Pursuit of Holiness" . We then had discussions in our groups. That day, My angel gave me a whole large pack of Hershey's dark chocolate nuggets and a string of sweets that melts in your mouth. In case you do not know how the game "Angel and Mortal" is played, I wont explain it on my blog, but ask me if you see me. Anyway the 9th of June was the WORLD CUP OPENING! Did we miss it? How could we?! We gathered in each other's rooms to catch it. I was actually showering when Germany scored a goal in the 5th minute. Sherman was screaming and I rushed out to watch it. Awesome. But Costa Rica scored a goal in the 10th minute. I watched the match until the first half was over, then I had games meeting in room 234, Christabel, Lois and Yvonne's room. We discussed about next day's games. Apparently, we had to recce the place the next morning. Anyway, I missed the second half, but Sherman told me that the final score was 4-2 to Germany, expected. Christabel also told me that they wanted a wake up call the next morning. So when I got back to my room, Sherman and Moses were already sleeping. So I watched HBO and then I slept. This conclude just Day One!!!!! Keep reading! Still 3 more days to go

+ AMEN

TOMMOROW IS CHURCH CAMP!
Today was a very busy day. I woke up at 10.30 am and had my breakfast, then I had my lunch when my Mom came home at 11.30 and I had my lunch. Then after watching Teen Titans (where's Kid Flash?), I went to Church to prepare games stuff for the Church Camp which is tommorow!
The things we prepared cannot be mentioned on my blog. You guys have to find out during the camp!
After the meeting, I went for my Chinese tuition at 4pm. Yes Jin Hao was there too. After the tuition class, I went to cut my hair and he followed me. Cost me $8.
After the hair cut, I walked around the place with him to buy some stuff. He is seriously bored at home, so I had to keep him company. I left early so I can prepare for camp tommorow.
I have not actually finished my packing so I am planning to do it tonight.
So the class outing is next Monday when I come back from camp. I can't go! ..sob....
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK AND MIN JUN!!!!!
My last entry before I go for Church Camp, be back on the 12th!

+ AMEN
