whooo it was great! I'm still on a spiritual high! ok this post is gonna kill everyone, seeing that so much more things happened than at batch chalet (which I prob won't rmb enough of anw) and the batch chalet post was alrd 12 paragraphs haha. ok I shall um try cutting down? I tell you it's not gonne work one. haha I think my blog is like for my own reference only, esp at the longgg posts. hey they improve my typing speed!

anw. ok arrived feeling bleh and sleepy haha and for once I was earlier than joanne! heh. ok registered, everything. wah they were so lax on checking. I think quite a few ppl brought phones. ahem. ok then waited kinda long for the bus. mmhmm then finally got there and it was at ulu pandan and looked quite ulu. -.- yeah but the conditions were actually not bad lah.

briefing on house rules and stuffs, attempted bonding before that. erm quite unsuccessfully. oh and I'm blocked on the group photo taken at the church hahaha. ok then went to dorms, yay we were damn happy it was by class ok! cos at first we thought it was by groups, then so sad cannot bond with classmates. ok ours was the one with aircon but no beds on the second floor, which is really convenient cos we had all our stuff at the hall on the second floor also. the other girls' dorm was no aircon but got bed, on the fourth floor. the guys' dorms were on the third floor.

ok shall skip the parts abt all the (boring) talks and stuff. ok not as bad as the history of s'pore talk in chinese which literally gave me a fever, but some just made me almost sleep. hmm overall the food was not bad, though the portions were quite big lah. oh and my grp is um quite interesting? darren has err bad table manners. hmm. ok and bathing! haha we were the first to cheong down. and bah completely cold water can! like sch toilets liddat. froze. and ppl like vicky and rachelle were screaming haha. and I found out that corinne's in band! yay. (: band ppl ftw!

hmm wah the whole camp's really so overwhelming in a gd way. can't describe it all. praise and worship at first was like bleh cos we didn't know a lot of songs, but on the second night, after prayingwith, ppl were completely HIGH singing shine Jesus shine ok! like dancing arnd and the guys were cancan-ing lol. it's such a high song! in more ways than one. my voice was going crazy cos I wanted to sing the higher octave one hahaha. extra. and dip dip is stuck in my head!

oooo oooo oooo oooo (x2)
who lives the faith in the fa- fa- faith
who lives the grace in the grace
who lives the hope in the ho- ho- hope
who lives the love in the love
who is that man
I want to shake His hand
for He lives in me
and He died for you and me
oooo
dip dip di- di- di- dip dip di- di- di- dip dip di- di- di- dip (x2)

whoo such a cute song with actions haha. first time we did it was morn so everyone so sian to bend down haha. and I never really got the actions for grace and hope. haha and when we sang power of Your love I was reminded of the GB sign language test thingy.

ok sorry this post is gonna be super unorganised unlike batch chalet one cos this is just spurting out all the nice moments. ohya there was gossiping abt church scandals haha joanne and I seriously never knew anything lah! our class is so... out of everything. ): and _ is so gross and flirty.

haha and the warm fuzzies idea was a really good one! where everyone had an envelope and ppl can just write to each other warm fuzzies. haha vivienne you and your _ ah. I never even said I like _ lor! joanne and I just said _ had nice hair. haha only three of us will get what I'm talking abt. but it was damn funny and malu-ating lah ahahaha. don't ask, ppl. (I think joanne really likes _ though hahaha)

and whoo sleeping time! first night was a great sleep, never woke up at all if I rmb correctly. nice new soft cushy sleeping bag! and so warm haha poor joanne was freezing. oh and the damn funny convo before sleeping:
joanne: I need a bolster. I want to hug smth!
me: vivienne! joanne wants a hug!
vivienne: ...I'm ready!
joanne+me: O.ooooo
vivienne: haha oops that sounded so wrong
joanne+me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

anw, vivienne coudn't sleep at all that night! poor thing. cos she didn't get her hug haha. cos after that part of the convo she was saying stuff like "come and hug me!" and "I can't sleep without your hug." hahaha omg so funny. the second night joanne hugged her and she fell asleep so fast! oh anw and I taught some dorm-mates the 5cent coin game haha.

2nd night was cool. we were telling ghost stories, and courtney and celestine were telling us abt their sch's many freaky stuffs. a little before 12 we went down for a erm night walk but it was so brightly lit and crowded we might as well have been walking into a pasar malam. half the ppl were still downstairs chatting and stuff. so we went to this quiet pond/fountain thingy, led by courtney, who suddenly turned around and we all briskwalkied away cos she saw a shadow or smth haha. then I was like "let's go to the back" so we went. as in like there's this part where if you turn right it's the stairs and if you turn left it's the male toilet and smth behind. so we were like walking slowly there with a torch, saying "the back... the back... the back..." in turn for no apparent reason, which noone else will get, but if you were there it would have sounded quite funny haha.

ok so we went back up to the dorm, then courtney was talking abt some if you can't open a room that is usually unlocked, then knock first, then suddenly we heard knocking from like upstairs or the wall or smth. O.o haha anw after a while we all slept lah. ohya courtney and her spaghetti strap haha. oh and that night a lot of ppl, including me, slept quite badly haha. cos auntie jessie was snoring kinda LOUDLY. ahem. hahaha. and apparently in the middle of the night, guys opened the door, looked in, and laughed at the snoring. three times or smth. haha ok we made candice run into the guys toilet as forfeit so well.

on the last day, I was amazingly sad ok! I didn't want to go home lah, really. camp should have lasted longer. and we should have had more bonding activities. haha I think a lot of ppl feel the same way. and yepp I'm looking fwd to sec3 confirmation camp too!

ohwait the bus journey back! haha pearlyn (LAU) was being irritating with her "long legs" lah lol. X) oh then the guys suddenly called this sec3 girl who was helping out with the camp and said smth abt singing rgs sch song and I was like omg I'm not alone! but I'm still alone in the cohort lah boo. anw, duh she didn't. and some guy(s) started singing his sch song I think. O.o okayy... haha then they called me to sing and I hid under my hood. then they started singing happy bday to me haha so sweet. though it was kinda out of tune. X) ee but now the whole bus knows my bday. bah.

and then the family mass at the parish hall, which was mainly quite normal. until we got our fuzzies, then we started looking at _'s supposed fuzzy again, and then started comparing it with vivienne's handwriting, marker and style, and poof! haha then we went to kill her. haha it's so not smth _ would say lah. ok then grp photos, then back! )): so sadd! I completely zonked out when I went home though. oh wait not before sms-ing cos of 3 day phone-deprivation haha.

and now I rmb there ain't gonna be catechism till next yr, I'm really gonna miss everyone! ): haha we should have a confirmation cohort camp on our own. but ppl like _ will like... yah. (btw, _ does not always refer to the same person ok! the first _ and the second _ are like completely diff.) and we must have more class outings! and oi class yahoogroup and class tee! bah. haha. we must get class tee done by this yr ok! if not I have to change it to 3charity '08. but we die die must get it done before sec3 confirmation camp at least. oh er we ask uncle ignatius and uncle richard if they want to buy also k?

yepp missing you all! really!
