haha this is post number 60! nice number. Dunno how come my sister's blogpost reach 70 already when my blog has been in existence longer than hers. Anyway hers is like almost officially dead now. this post is going to be abt youth camp. Think will have a lot of narration and some reflections.

Camp started on Monday. Met some ppl at cck interchange then take 67 to church together. We were made to form our groups and come up with a group name and cheer. Ours ended up to be broken slippers(no reason) with Tian Loong and Tian Yong as leader and co leader. The other groups had funny names too, like chainless aka your mother, haha, banana, thirsty hippo aka your father. Then after lunch took the bus to changi bethany church.

Start of the fun! Had afternoon games. Got some a bit disgusting like chilli bombs. At first I wasn't wet at all the Issac went to bomb me and make me wet!!! Arh! Then my shirt got chilli sauce smell. The soccer and other games were rather fun. I scored 2 goals for soccer haha! But the all stars team was really good and we lost:( Then after bathing and dinner, we had service. Service was really great. Chris Long was very funny and we were laughing all the way. The worship was nice too. Shall write reflections of all the services later.

Next day had service in the morning and afternoon games again. We were supposed to get dirty cuz got obstacle course, egg and water bombs. But I didn't:) Sellek and Yong Chian wanted to bomb me when we were walking back but in the end Sellek changed his mind. Yong Chian said cuz he scared I scold him despite him(yc) saying that I won't. Am I that fierce? haha nvm, it did me a favour. The ppl who got the dirtiest were the poor guys who were being the wheelbarrows. And then after that game, a lot of them tried to master the art of hugging people backwards. Yup, then at night got service again. Had some indoor games after the service.

3rd day had service in the morning again. The weather for the first 2 days was sunny but it started raining on the third. The games were supposed to be outdoors but then had to change and modify it to make it indoors. It was modified 'persecution'. Quite fun, esp the persecution part, but the time too short. We had some time before dinner to do our own stuff. So I taught some people how to play PIG:) Super fun. Yong Chian reaction was super slow at first. We were waiting for him to get to level 20. He was the highest level pig for the first round. Then when we went down for dinner, he was like "Auntie, I got the highest level, must give me first."

Then at night, we played strongholds. It was very fun also. The comm dressed up as demons and hid all over the place to scare us then test our faith. The entire place was rather dark and a lot of people were screaming. Some of the comm acted really well and they were really scary. I was in the same group as Jireh and Julian. Jireh was making fun of all the 'demons' so it wasn't very scary. We had pizza for supper! Then went up and continued pig for a while before deciding to go for the night trek with sam soh and some other people.

The night trek was fun! Some parts were really dark but the air was very cooling and the environment was nice. Though it started to drizzle quite a bit when we were on our way back. Reached back around 1 plus. Then bathed again. Just bathed before the trek and my hair was drying as we walked then rained and made my hair wet again, then bathing made it even wetter. After that went seven eleven with Calvin and Yong Chian to buy food:) And we ended up playing pig downstaris cuz upstairs too noisy and too many people. But there were people sleeping downstairs so we had to be super quiet. Silent laughter... This round, Josiah was the ultimate pig. Level 10. I think Thaddeus was next. The rest of the night/ morning was quite boring cuz we were just trying to pass time by playing cards, talking and telling ghost stories.

Yup, then this morning was prize giving and some aution. After the camp offically ended, we went to the airport to fetch Joyce and send Justin off. Wrote Joyce's name on paper and held it super high for her to see and ended up embarrassing her and ourselves. A lot of people walked in front of us just to see what we were holding. Then went to T2 to send Justin off. This time no paper so used our bodies to form his name, like what they did to send Joyce off the other time. Ya, then went to have lunch and took mrt home. Joyce insisted on taking train back with us. Tian Loong was sleeping on the way back.

Haha, I slept from 4 to 8 after reaching home cuz only slept for 45 mins during the night so very tired. Then went to eat dinner and came back to blog. And here I am! Ok, quite lame. That's the end of the narrating section. It's like super long already. Bet nobody will read my reflections. But I'm still going to write it (i hope).
