Some of us stayed back for another day for our rest and relax.

Back finally

Back from JB finally... Headed to JW from the 2nd-link for the youth evangelistic mtg rehearsal and then back home to AMK. It's really home SWEET home. No more mosquitoes and houseflies everywhere. But the souvenirs of the mosquitoes kisses remains rather evident on my legs. My comrades would understand what I mean.

But heavy hearted. I need to pray a lot on this. 50% sure. Nobody lives my life for me. I make my own decisions. I take ownership of my own life. Nobody will take pity on me nor give assistance to me. It's up to me. Just got to get up and move on. Yes, it might hurt in the beginning. But how? When there's no one to direct and guide me through. I can only make my own decisions. After all, it's still my life, my destiny.

O BTW, for those non-bloggers that read my blog... PLEASE... Read with a little bit more INTELLIGENCE and WISDOM. If you read it as it is then maybe you should stop reading people's blog. And my blog is definitely not for you. :)  Thank you.

Sorry. Sounded a bit harsh. Just need to say that to make my stand. I have my reason so if you dun understand, ask before you slam me down. You dun hv to be like me but neither do I need to be like you. Thank you. :)

Ok Ok. To soothe this intense tone... Back to the camp. Or rather, a funny incident that happened on the way back. For some reasons, we needed to converse in dialect, mixture of hainanese and hokkien, Boon Kiat had a sudden bottleneck in expressing himself in dialect and he went "wa wa wa wa wa wa wa...." ("I" in hokkien) Well, the whole car of pp broke out in laughters within seconds. Part of it for laughing at ourselves oso in trying so hard to speak in dialect. ha! 

It's a funny trip. I had many good loud laughs. De-stress for the body but for the heart it's still prayers and more prayers. Maybe it's really time.

Camp ended

Woo!! Camp ended!!! So tiring for us who have been working for the caamp. But I think I react slower than the rest. I dun feel exactly tired actually. I only feel tired when I seriously had nothing to do. Like now... I am reali not tired but my friends are all so tired. I think they shld be SOUND asleep like my husband now... Heee....

It's really has been some time since we had a camp like this. In fact, it's the first adult camp we had and it's across the border in JB. The adults that attended the camps were also really awesome. They were really of great sport. I mean it's really amazing man. They played the telematch like the youths and even more gung-ho!!! To think we even "looked down" on them. O we were wrong big time. You see the tai-tais, CEOs and businessmen doing the stuff like anyone else and with great sportsmanship. I was so shocked by the sportsmanship they put forth. Really shocked. In fact, I had to keep reminding them "be careful!!", "slippery!", etc. My jaw dropped la... We have decided for the next camp, it will be much harder. Hahaha. Will put up the photos when we return to Singapore.

The committee finally had a good Chinese dinner to relax. Prior to that, the guys went to play water polo and Vic returned with multiple scars that are bleeding-red. According to him, it's courtesy of Pastor YK. if you ever play sports with the guys in my zone, especially the leaders, BEWARE. They are SERIOUS players even if they seriously dunno how to play. Ha! :D

It's a fun time. And I heard they are going to play PAIN-ball (ouch! can imagine the bruises already. Haiz.). O sorry, I mean paint-ball. And Vic seems rather enthusiastic about playing bowling and ping-pong ball too. Ha! And also some kart ride or bike ride, and a whole list of activities. I wonder if that will actually take place. Hmmm... Are they really going to wake up at 7.30am for breakfast? Er... I doubt I will. Hee...

Besides that, I miss my CG. have't seen them for so long. Had been busy with camp. Praying for their prelims. Hmmm... God will be with them. God is good.
