the long weekendsooo... do you like.... stuff? :p joke.
alright.. easter camp weekend. i confess i went with much apprehension wondering if this was gonna be a camp i'd spend thinking about unnecessary things for want to occupy myself.. i also wondered if maybe i was gonna be one of those losers that stick themselves in the room all day coz i'm a social recluse..
(btw) i'm blogging coz i'm so tired and my brain's fried. i'd given up on methods (oh joy) and decided to abandon methods till my mind's more refreshed at least for chinese :p i treat chinese so second-rate, it's not funny :p it's the only subject i do with the music blasting, tv on, or chatting on the phone or msning or something.. lol.. anyway back to camp.
the weather was awful till today (how ironic).
the highlights of camp i suppose was a heap of realizations that enlightened me on lots of things.. a few observations i've made this year is that us younger ones in church seem to be aging already - previously when we'd be hyper and unstoppably noisy we're now more toned down and grounded - we spent a free-time session with most people glued to their various studies..which was quite impressive, really, because think about it - since when does a whole group of friends sit down and do work together in an extremely docile and mild manner when they're on camp?
as for my spiritual life; yes it's been enriched much indeed with the things i learnt from camp. one thing that touched me though, was aaron's baptism. it never fails to amaze me how god can place his special touch on every individual's life; how he nurtures everyones hurts and strengthens their shortcomings..and turns it into an awesome living testimony to the power of christ's miracles (:
as to the "loner" aspect of things.. i guess it turned out unexpectedly okay. for the first day i suffered from bouts of pms and stayed grumpy and moody (sorry everyone - didn't mean to) :p girls use pms as an excuse for everything.. joke ! :p but i eventually did get to spend bucketloads (or at least enough) time with the important people. sooo.. to the following people who made my camp more special -
bena : hey dear.. you probably won't even chance upon this.. but i want you to know that i really appreciate you coming for camp and i know, no matter how lonerish or anything i could feel, what you feel probably would be ten times worse coz you're new and all.. and i'm sorry for being grumpy sometimes and perhaps in that neglecting you.. but this camp wouldn't have been the same if not for your company :p (and i'm still diligently trying to learn canto and i believe i will accomplish that someday!) and i love you lots and lots, and it's wonderful to have a sister in christ like you (: you've been there for me every single time i needed you and even though we bicker and you get abusive :p lol, i love you anyways.. very very much =)
pris : hey minion :p *sigh* we've had our share of good days and bad days eh? let me know anytime you need a hug, i'll be there.. and we'll get through this together.. i promise we will with God leading us and guiding our way! p.s. you're the best minion ever.. no one takes care of or "mums" me as well as you do!
debbo : eyyy.. probably my "oldest" friend from church considering how our paths crossed a long long time ago.. it was great catching up with you and i've missed you since you left youth and bhs.. hardly see you around anymore.. but it's awesome to see your motivation and fire for the things you've set your sights on, and i dearly hope you'll keep working at that.. thanks for being there as well.. whenever i needed you *hugs* and i hope we'll have lots more church camp memories to come..
icky : booooooooo.. silly -.- you're so slack! anyway, thank you for keeping me company lots :p and nono, i was not sleeptalking i was just hungry! lol.. and the harry potter audio books were goooood.. yes.. you're good company.. and you cheered me up many a time even if you didn't know it.. so.. yes, thanks very much for that.. :p oh oh, and a song dedication to you: on the first day of christmas my true love sent to me.. lalalala lol :p darn, i never did get a chance to ask andrew whether it was him
em : harloooo.. good talking to you that day :p *wink wink nudge nudge* hahahah.. em is coooool.. *nods* - zips mouth shut - hahaha
gah. typical klutzy me, during dawn service, due to 1 hour of sleep before then stumbling up for dawn service walked into something.. and left 2 big bruises on my leg which are rapidly turning a very er "sexy" purplish color which i'm afraid even school socks might not fully cover.. hrm.. *hurts*
oh and the mission team (more or less) was briefly united when chunni came down :) with flora as well.. *nods* it was a good thing.. and we saw tina or "timina" again.. yep we've missed him and his silliness lol.. memories, memories.
and i finally did get to watch saw 2 (i forgot who recommended it to me ages ago) but yes.. damn sick indeed :p that same night i also watched the end of passion of christ.. it scared me.. even though i always had this prefixed impression of the whole procedure of cruxification that segment was so visually poignant that now when i think of the love that it takes to die on the cross for sins that aren't even yours.. well.. ouchies..
i think this post is over.. pictures on my space.. oh and i really, really badly, want photos from maurice's birthday dinner *cough*zhen*cough*send photos*cough*
aite.. off to er.. research on.. beijing.. lol..
