im back from camp! (: JYC '06- i don't regret going one bit (:
17 nov friday-nothing much happened on the first day, but i found out that im the group leader of SUSA-i was honestly shocked and didn't expect it. like helloo? how am i supposed to be a leader? i guess its according to age and since the p6s are the majority, the leaders are from the sectwos and secthrees.
susa-me!asuishcheryl seowodeliawei anndariusnicholasabigailsamanthajoshuathis time there were really few campers compared to previous years and i heard from shiping that there are
35 p6s! that's like half the camp! we had briefing and icebreakers before worship and our first speaker session. this year our speaker isnt pastor alvin anymore, he's
mr daniel ho i think! i didn't really take note of his name and stuff whoops! then we had dinner and night games where our group really got closer and stuff (: the night games were not bad la-station style but the worst thing was that our group was down for toilet duty at night so we had to scrub the dirty toilets and stuff yuck
then during lights out, the p6s kept making noise and stuff so a few of the older ones were super pissed with them-me, yvette, cheryl and grace played like truth or truth for awhile before we went to sleep.
18nov saturday-because me and clarisa are doing worship for the worship session that morning, we could skip 5bx :D we just spent the time listening to army stories from rupen (: then we went up for worship practice-i guess i was quite nervous and stuff because its my first time singing la but the worship session went great i had fun surprisingly! haha then we had speaker session and there was altar call, so we went up and sang for altar call
after lunch we had games at ECP-they were quite fun la (: the flour game was so retarded because royston took a picture of me with my face in the tray of water, trying to get the sweet. i just thank god that no one took a photo of me after i went to the flour part haha (: worship at night was just simply wonderful-there was altar call again and stuff buy i didn't go up because i didn't feel ready- i mean this whole year i feel like there's a great wide chasm between me and God and there's like nothing i can do to bridge it; that's one of the reasons why i was quite reluctant to go for jyc but as i stood there and the words just swelled up around me i couldn't help it- the tears just kept coming and they wouldn't stop. the words really touched me and i just stood there and let the tears come. bernie saw me and prayed for me and i just really thank god for letting me experience his love and his grace this time (:
19nov sunday-pulau ubin day! i sat with that crazy cherylseow (: and on the boat trip dawn said that she wanted to live in pulau ubin, in that kampong life (when we came back from pulau ubin i asked her the same question and i got a NO :D) we had to trek all over pulau ubin following pictures and doing stuff at stations. at one of the stations we had to do charades and i had to do uncle sinchee! i was like really stumped and stuff haha. but i was really miserable during the whole trek because my nose chose that day to become really bad and i had a really bad running nose-so bad that i was tearing too and i felt like shit. (sorry)
the trek back was much better! our favourite station was the "who wants to be a millionare" with daphne and kevin as the station masters (: since we were the last group and we had to kill time- we answered all the questions and if we got one question wrong, we had to do a forfeit instead, so we got all the points (: it was quite retarded la we got three questions wrong so we had to do the chicken dance first, followed by the banana dance and lastly the macarena and the worst thing was that one of the adult helpers stood there the whole time and filmed us with the video cam *hides face* after that to kill time, jansen and kevin were asking us really retarded questions and we kept pestering them for points, so we played the game where we have to untangle ourselves up- it was hilarious and we really had alot of fun and bonded as a group (: we kept laughing and laughing and just had tons of fun (:
walking back to the jetty was super funny too because i was playing the open close game with them and they couldnt get it! especially odelia because she was like: one more time! no, three more times! i know already! (pause) actually i don't -.-
HAHA it was so hilarious and i did it like over a hundred times all the way back to the jetty! shiping was the best-she caught on immediately and was laughing with me at the rest :D cheryl and the rest caught on when we were resting at the jetty and odelia FINALLY realised the trick to the game when rachel very kindly showed her the obvious trick to the question lol.
COP was at night and the sharing of ministries was alil too long- but the worship session was simply fantastic. we could really feel GOD'S presence in the room and the whole room was just filled with voices and the whole camp was just crying out to Him. the worship team led by Nat was really great too i just really enjoyed myself (: but i think worship was quite short, it should have been longer! ): during worship we were asked to sign up at the sub-comm we wanted when we feel led by the LORD to serve him. im already in worship, but i went to write down my name again with a few others already in worship to show everyone our commitment to serve him (:
rachel, yvette and me skipped supper and after that we had the revealing of secret pals- mine was odelia! (: but i already kinda guessed because i saw the smiley face she drew and only she draws smiley faces that way :D we stayed up with cheryl odelia and dawn and played some more retarded games like "how many maa maa jumped over the wall" and since only me and yvette know the trick behind it, it was really funny seeing them analyse from top to bottom HAHA but the three of them are really hopeless lol. we went to sleep at around 3am (:
20nov monday-nothing much today we just break camp and found out the winners- molala won ): but susa did quite well too! we weren't the last and ithink that we may be fourth! from second last to fourth-that's really good! (: i had to leave during area cleaning because my brother came to pick me up
im glad i came for this camp (: GOD put me there for a reason and i know what it is- to wake me up so that i can bridge the gap between us. HE is truly awesome thankyou so much LORD (:
