YAYS. the 5-day camps were FANTASTIC. thank God for all the people who put in so much effort and love into the preparation and execution of this camp(: and for all my bunk-mates and all of you who took the time to come for the camps. you guys made a difference in the camp in no matter wad big or little way! xDHERE'S THE CAMP SONG

[chorus only] (:
a common love for each other
a common gift to the Saviour
a common bond holding us to the Lord
a common strength when we're weary
a common hope for tomorrow
a common joy in the truth of God's Word.

hees. we all memorised it. yays! PRAISE GOD(: it was a great time of singing and stuff. it was fantastic(: yayys. we sang "a common love" with everybody having arms on each other, swaying to the music. it was so cool. hees.ohkay. i'll tell you all the games and schedule and EVERYTHING including details. i'll leave out the lame jokes that melody told us. you'll die frm its lame-ness!!! hees. no offence mel(: [i love your lame-ness still(:]

5th june 2006 [day 1]
i arrived 5 minutes earlier then 9am. yay! hahaah. so i was early! whee~ hees. then i collected my koinonia camp tee and camp booklet. hees. then i went to change. happy happy. hees. then i put lugguage in the basement. then we went upstairs for worship and a couple of games. we learnt the camp song and also learnt that darren doesnt noe jason's full name!!! wahahah. we'll forever rmbr that darren! hees.then we had to carry our bags to the buses. i was pretty high i guess. hees. then we checked in. we had 5 dorms. one glasgow room for night worship only. and the canteen which was small and had a vending machine! yay! hahah. girls and guys both have toilets and separate shower rooms. wee. but we still had to queue up lah. the girls' toilet&shower room was closer. yays. hahs. i occupied dorm 3 together with the females of my group[keluarga, meaning family in malay], bev, kailing, rikki, querise, melody. only 6 of us to one big room. woots~ we placed the mattresses on the floor and slept in a big group together. joan joined us for both nights at the lower sec camp. hahs. near great world city there. then we had lunch where we were tied to each other in groups. i was tied to john. poor guy. he was a left hander. but trained by that day to use right hand to eat. hees. got 4 groups. keluarga, carabenas, ionites and uhu. they all got meaning one. but i forgot liao. hees. then we had station games.my grp decided to go see kailing's one first. then we ran there with another grp. they hang apples on the really very short goalpost which they sprayed whip cream all over it and we had to each get a bite without using our hands. it was messy. but we did it(: woots. hees. then we went to see seto. giolo & james had a sugar cube on their foreheads and we had water guns. we had to dissolve the sugar cube by shooting water at them. it was really funny. oh yes.

OUR CHEER(:
i love you
you love me
we are one big family
with a great big hug
and a kiss from me to you
we are from the ga-ga land[short form for keluarga]

HEES. then we went to ian's station. where there was the THOUSAND YR OLD honey and cotton balls. have you guessed yet? we had to stick our faces on the honey and stick up as many cotton balls there were. wahahaha. it was crazy! but very sweet. i licked the honey on my nose. it was yummy. no wonder it's "THOUSAND YR OLD". wahahahahaah.then we went to mimi and nini's station. melody had whip cream on her face and we were to throw fruity loops at her and make sure it stays on her face. hees. it was disgusting. heh. but ohkay lah. i koped some and ate the fruity loops. bonus was to find aunty annie and give her a hug. then shout "i love you" to daph. hees. it was ohkay.then it was off to daph's station. we had to blow up balloons. spray shaving cream on 'em. then use a SHAVER to SHAVE OFF ALL THE CREAM on the balloons. melody's balloon was the nicest and cleanest. she just GAN GAN shave. i uber scared to burst it lah. hees. in the end, we had to burst our balloons with a plastic fork. i poked it and screamed. lol. it burst at the 2nd try.i dun rmbr when we went to jon chong's station. but it was banana surgery. we had to cut up the banana. then tape it back together again. it was yucky. and sticky. oh eew. hees.then we slacked. played concentration. animal one. black magic. i got bored. and went back to my dorm.the guys played soccer. total 5 hrs lah. hees. then we didnt wash up. cuz we knew tonight will have candle fight(: we had a message on knowing who we worship. spiritual revival. we could really see God's hand working that night.
we knew the 3 names of God
1. His name is Holy
2. His name is Jealous [He's only jealous because we are rightfully His. if we worship or place sth else above Him, He will be jealous.]
3. His name is Jehovah/Yahweh.
then we went mad before the candle fight. did the alternate jump thingy. played games while the adults prepared the candle fight. i burnt my left index finger. wax was very painful. esp that dominic walking in rounds and spilling his wax on me. thanks alot. not. hees. then we won. cuz bev burnt some grp's last string. hees.then i bathed and went to slp. and melody and frens were snorting and laughing/giggling at night. i woke up a few times. hees.

[day 2] 6th june 2006
woke up. had breakfast. worship! then did devotions on honoring our parents in our groups. jon chong led the group. then it was lunch. some ppl joined us. then we din have games at first. cuz it was raining/drizzling. the dorm 3 ppl, including jo en and jo lin went arnd tau-pok-ing ppl. wahahahahaah. so fun lah. then aunty annie ASK us to TAUPOK her leh! so funny. hees. then they say got games. we had to so SMU for games. so we waited for the bus lor. the first 2 grps go first. then our grp and ionites. we were going to play police and thieves at SMU.
the schl was our playgrnd. we cannot run. if run, we have to go to jail. we have to walk fast to escape frm the police. there were marshalls/adult leaders everywhere. garden very fun to walk. and it was drizzling. so a bit wet lah. darn. we had four games. cuz each team had to have a chance to be the police. then the end was the marshalls/adult leaders catching us. i was caught twice. first time i was surrounded by ian and caleb. leb's against me!!! not fair. gimme a dumb grin when he was going to catch me. nxt was together with jolin. surrounded by melvin, james and eric. hees. i actually, rikki was there too. we were playing escalator with them lah. then i had to let rikki get away. so as james grabbed me and jo lin by our arms REALLY tightly, i grabbed melvin and eric's sleeves so rikki could get away first. i was pulled away and i had to let go. then got ppl hiding in 7-11. not fair lah. hees. then in the end, they caught everybody. not fair. so strict lah. then we had to go back to the campsite by ourselves. the shuttle bus to great world took forever lah.then we had message. and cassandra[who came only for the day] and henrietta[who stayed on for the rest of camp] joined us.

7th june 2006 day 3
the lower sec camp was coming to an end at 4pm. sad but true. after breakfast, we went to the glasgow room to see photos of fun we had in camp for the past 2 days and we had the message.
the message was on the 3 things that we christians should do as we are in the last days.
1. watch and watch
2. pray and pray
3. work and work
then we played the game of life. the adult leaders protrayed the world. there were jobs to do, education, stock market, investments, casinos, gambling den and indulgance land for food and accessories to enter into stock market, investments and casinos. we even had to get tattoos to get into the underground gambling den. got conman[jon chong la] who cheated my group of FIVE THOUSAND $$$. so mean. and sent us to jail TWICE. bailing us out took SIX HUNDRED $$$): then there was this old man[protrayed by seto] who would be walking arnd. asking you to help him run errands. this included carrying tables around the field. my team kinda ignored him. but if you helped him, he would tell you the gospel and lead you to "church". leb, marcus and james persisted in helping and went to "church". they then led many ppl to church". including my team. but before we went in to "accept Christ", our "life" had ended. thus, we died without having Christ. the adult leaders were quite sad lah. cuz not many of us teenz went to get the wooden cross at "church".

yea well i grouped with aika and this new girl called joanna(: well one thing was we made the most money! you could tell by just looking at the stack but as charm had said, the sad thing was we didn't realise that we had to go to the church): and you know what! maja tried to share the gospel with us and we told her we were believers and we were 100% going to heaven after we died): but we didn't even go to church or honour God in everything we did within that few short hours/years of our life. sigh. but well that's one lesson we gotta learn from and pick myself up and learn from that mistake and never let temptations take over me!

then we packed up after the game and boarded the separate buses which will bring us to our diff campsites. nona me and nosnuma had tribal camp at sembawang whereas (s.U.R.f)2 had camp with fireagles at pasir ris[where we heard it rained everyday].

second part of camp = tribal camp
we were a bit tired and sianed. so we toured the building, have carers and carees, washed up and went to sembawang park jetty for crabbing. ian gave a tutorial but i wasnt really interested in crabbing. i massaged for kailing, auntie annie, hornie and melvin[cuz he was crabbing for our bbq]. most of us went back to the campsite early. i went to sleep before devotion. opps. sorry iris(: oh yah. i wrote a letter to my caree and my carer wrote me sth(:

well i went home that night so i missed out on all these): oh wells.

8th june 2006 [day 4]
one more day then camp ends! so sad. we had worship and played captain's bomb. using water bombs as balls for captain's ball. at first was water bomb. then it became water+flour. then it was a full water bomb fight. where we had RAW EGGS+WATER for AIMING AT ADULT LEADERS. woots. hahahah. i was defender. but when i saw the eggbomb, i ran away as fast as my legs could carry me! hahahahah. sorry jon chong. and alot of ppl were upset with him. cuz he conned our money! wahahah. so alot of ppl aim him. lalala~ he smelt of egg later on. together with chai. it was bad i tell you, bad! i avoided them till they had a shower. hees. after that was lunch. we then went to sembawang park again for a game. looking for stuff in a list of pics. all over the park. went back to campsite after the game. me and others started playing soccer and the rest started preparing for the bbq. hees. sorry ppl for not helping. hehs. bbq was great.

oh yes! soccer! nice nice it's my new love! xD haha me and yufei teamed up and we won like, 3 rounds consectively! haha although i played until my slippers fell out and i had to play barefooted which turned out to be more fun and played until my specs fell on the ground and i went specsless but well i could still see(: so fun so fun! haha soccer has become my new love now! xD
