FINALLY!
the run of camps and sgb dates are over. the sgb dates were sian, but the 2 camps were probably the most fun camps i've ever attended.
firstly, the bb camp. it seems like such a long time ago now, 1-3 dec, when i was at bbhq with the other bb boys and some ppl from mcyc. as my wrist was still injured from the sentosa incident, i was appointed photographer and had to sit out canoeing, rock-climbing, and some other activities. however, i still managed to play soccer...it was fun watching eggy score after many tries, and even more fun watching some 10 yr old kids run rings around us at times. also went running with zy, melvin, nathan and david (an mcyc kid whos in pri 5) to SUNTEC CITY from zion rd. omg, that kid's super fit la, kept up despite being like, 5 years younger. anyway, there was also this movie marathon were we watched hot chick, the longest yard, and other stuff until 4.30am. the others stayed on to watch pirate of the carribean, crazy buggers. the camp also allowed us to realise how fortunate most of us are, u know, coming from good families and such.
well, after that was the church camp. ok, last yr's church camp was damn sian outside of the worship sessions, cos i didnt click with the group, so i ended up spending group time and quiet time stoning. however, this camp was the polar opposite; everything was fun, including my group, although we were a bit quiet at times. the games were cool, though they did border on sick at times, eg., pass water from cup to cup where some one is holding the cup in his/her mouth, and the water is passed on by an unfortunate fella biting a straw... transfering water from pail to pail using girl's hair or boy's shirts, etc. some games seemed a tall order (we had to build a tower consisting of straws and place an egg at the top, doh), but we OWNED them. ok la, owned is an overstatement, but we did reasonably well. winning 4/9 games.
the group also decided that losing was not part of our vocab, so it became not winning instead, lol.
person 1:"arghs! we lost!!"
person 2:"no! we just didn't win!"
then there was the massive war game. OMG, our team consisting of 2 groups totally owned. we captured 5 flags, but had to return one cos it was our allies. haha, friendly fire on. anyway, we built this real cool base with masking tape traps to peel off unsuspecting victims leg hair. in fact, my group was uber obsessed with using duct tape to de-hair ppl la, lol. the women's platoon did well, as they captured the flags, while the brave men formed static defence, lol. the only time i left my post i got hit down there and was left rolling around for five minutes in excruciating agony.
i also spent a lot of time fooling around with weasley, zun you, jerome, kenchin...from taopoking ppl in the hall with ken to making stupid jokes with jerome and weasley's group at mealtimes. which reminds me, their group was SUPER fun la. everybody was retarded in his or her own way. i think they spent every single group discussion time playing heart attack and doing forefeits, eg, jerome singing sandra's mom and writing a letter to the acjc prom queen who was his group leader, LOL. muahaha, i never lost at heart attack, and hence did not have to do any forefeit, unlike poor matthias, who had to stand and get hit down there by a ball.
and finally, i enjoyed this camp cos i heard God's voice. i'm still not very sure sometimes whether it is Him or another voice telling me to do something, but i know that what was told to me at camp was DEFINITELY His voice. learnt many other things, which i never knew, and i really believe that this camp did wonders for me. hopefully, i will keep the faith and stay an 'on' Christian.
there are many more things that happened at camp, but then the tale would be too long to tell. all i know is that i can't wait for next year's camp!
