backed from camp.darn tired. and the matters at home stil left answer. nonetheless, camp was awesome. and i noe His promises are true and i noe that whatever things that come my way, he will never let go.
and i definitely thank him for my caregroup~ spa aka bravo 4!! tho i had mia for so long, they made me feel at home nonetheless~
camp.. i tot it will be a horrible 4 days and 3 nights at the ghostly land of sarimbum scouts camp. in the end, it is ghostly, but ghost as in holy ghosts ^^
indeed, i really tot the camp would be horrible. at least the campsite was. the insect infested bunk, with the orchestra of toads, frogs and insects behind my bunk. the food is ugh. the toilet is even more ugh. n at first the itinerary sucks.
first day was fieldtraining. it was a bore, but in the midst of the bore, there's some interesting drills that were taught. btw, this arrow adventure camp is military style. okk, back to the itinerary. first aids drills were taught. den navigation skills. kinda basic but enriching just as well. den came the fun part. the challenge valley. it's like there's a few obstacles we need to overcome as a cluster. all of us had much fun, tho we were all mud baked and bruised all over. :D washed up dinner n sharing. we thought the day was over n we could have a gd night rest in the insect-ed bunk. notice i used the word thought. yepp. lights out was at 12. but at 1, we were all woken up by shouts of the instructors of ordering us to assemble at mph in full gear n full pack. groggy from drifts of sleep, we hastily packed our stuffs, stuffed in our contacts, and rushed to mph. god. we were all cursing n swearing in our hearts or vocally at the instructors. mission 1 was announced, n all of us headed out to different locations. my grp, started from the camp site itself and headed over to our first station.
we pah kah with bravo 1 for all the stations, cause they received the same arrangement of stations as us. good fir us, their group was all guys, except for one girl. (: as a result, we clear the station rather quickly, because for the station, we need alot of manual strength. and thank god for them, for they were all a bunch of potential comedians. crapped along the whole way and made us laughed alot. ((: especially wee lock. haha! darn funny.
so ended up walking n hiking(sorta) arnd lim chu kang at early hours of morning. until 6 plus like tt. bused back frm the last station. but the mission had not end yet. there's the queen to be retrieved. yada yada was super cui by the end of the mission. and the lack of sleep had caused a fainting spell to hit me. and causing me not able to play in the pool. ): but den again, my sis jus told me that her frens saw water snakes in the water. so... heh.
6 hrs of sleep. dinner. contact drills (which my knees ached like crap) . pastor's sharing n coach jo's sharing. speaking of her. coach jo is awesome!! she's such an inspiration to me~ ((:
and that concludes day 2. with the toilet being even more ugh. was so tired that i fell asleep almost immediately i snuggled up in my sleeping bag.
came day 3. food was as usual kinda ugh. the morning activities was still fun~ it's like a smokescreen for the supposedly planned mission 2. darn fun~ really bonded the poly cluster!! and the mud pool thingy~ hahah! so fun!! ^^ wanted to go again!! haha!! and the simon says game was... fun! haha! i dunnoe how else i can describe the game. (:
den came afternoon, the games were planned by the innotreks instructors. hmm. those typical games. and also caused tension, n annoyance to build up among clusters. ntu against poly. jc against nus, smu, and private.
we've seen alot of ugliness in each other. and to be transparent, my "ah-lian" character rose oso. but thank god, all the essays of vulgarities that were in my heart threatening to spell, were kept there. the boys, both ntu and poly, were all very aggressive. all the wrestling, rugby, american football moves all came out. many of us, guys n girls, potrayed gangsterism behaviours. =/
but after dinner, coach jo and sam shared with us things pertaining to the afternoon games, and most of us, had the aha feelings, and many bitterness were gone. (: afterall, we are one big family~
den campfire!! that was the most awesome campfire that i ever had!! praise n worship under the the night sky in the nature. that was the first time in my life~~ and it's definitely darn amazing!! zendra was a great mcee and worship leader for the campfire~~ haha!
arrrow is always full of suprises. :DD
den came the last day, the toilet was ultra disgusting. but thank god, i had experience with the sb toilet. ^^ packed up, cam whored. ( WE FINALLY GOT BACK OUR HANDPHONES AND CAMERAS THAT WERE KEPT UNDER THE CAMP COMM CUSTODY SINCE FIRST DAY) bus-ed back to suntec. and were awe-struck by the urbanization of Singapore! the roads so smooth and toilets so clean!! aircon and all~~ hahah!!
and i finally got my double choc donut frm donut factory aft much days of cravings~ haha!! services were so fantastic!! the food was so so so so much edible, and better den the camp food. lunch, teabreak n dinner were served. our church is so ultra bless!! ^^
jaryl came and fetched me n pris home~ thanks ((: good to have a sister, even better if have a boyfren who can fetch her n her sister home~~ ^^
