(had a HUGE muffin for breakfast zomg. so I didn't eat lunch haha.) but pft still late, so I tompanged my mum. thought I was gonna be late but went there and there were only like less than 10ppl lol. then nat came and we went adoration room.so ppl slowly arrived, blahblah. [oh wtf jo, viv, ter, ju all ponned! D: ohwell, your loss. (:] then we went up to one of the classrooms to get the ayd shirt haha. we were super freaked out cos we saw the facils wearing bright blue shirts and it looked kinda um weird. but haha it was navy blue and pretty. :D really la, the shirt is not bad. :D except for the fact that mine was freaking big. D: and that was S! shoulda gotten XS ahhhh.ok so we had like spiritual prep sorta thing, some P&W. then the cohort was split into 4 big groups and we went to different classrooms and had like some uh activities. like the first one they told the guys and girls to form a circle each with one inside the other and we were like DOUBLE WHACKOOOO? DDDD: but it wasn't la hahaha. then was the draw a story about the closed door - halfopen door - open door thing. um then the checklist. basically the stuff was all to teach us more about the holy spirit. oh haha during the 10min (but in reality it was longer) toilet break I just sat and smsed and smsed and smsed lol. [need I mention that this month my free smses are going kaput again]ok dinner was at 4+ -.- haha but lucky I didn't eat lunch la. it was the same catered thing as retreat haha. so anw, got on the buses, then julia g called me so I was like trying to say I was on the way but she couldn't hear me I think. oh and her phone was screwed or smth so that whole night whenever I wanted to call her I called her friend haha. ok so camwhored a litlle with nat, then reached wuite soon cos after all it was toa payoh only.went in, called julia sng, but she was not there yet, called julia g but decided not to be extra and walk to find her (her parish was like opposite mine haha). then called pam, found her! :D got an sms from celeste so called her too haha. anw, dragged pam along with me to find julia g, and we were standing like right in front of her (facing the other way haha) and both parties were going "where! I don't see you! wave your arms wildly!" haha but found her la. then ran downstairs cos we saw julia sng, and got celeste to join us. gathering of the rgp peeps!

I want to wear to sch ahh!)oh there was a tiffany also, from rg. (: we may be forming a rg sec3 (er or '09 since we won't be sec3 forever) catholic group! :D wheeeeeeeee.yeah anw, the lights started going off so we ran back to our parish clumps haha. oh just for the sake of it, it's st francis xavier . holy spirit . st michael's . st mary of the angel's . holy spirit according to the photo haha. [oh and super sad we couldn;t go for supper together or sleepover or smth haha] but anw, it was still a long wait to the start haha. pam's church (the ENTHU one! who all sprayed their hair red lol.) continued screaming and waving etc haha.anw, when it started it was like OMGGG! haha really, the power of 2000 people, 25 parishes of sec3s, screaming for God. (: so the MCs were friar derek and sherene (ohno, sp? D:) (grp 8's retreat facil! :D) haha and they were on about how frairs are not uncool and unhappening and all haha. beatboxing! xD haha ok so there was like some intro p&w, testimony and stuff. sharing by bishop was quite funny haha, he's super amusing, but after a while everyone got abit restless ohman. apparently all the guys at the back were like lying on each other lol.anw, the band is awesomezzzz! THERE WAS A SOP SAX OMG and I was like *melts* haha. :D and walk on water productions was great too. (: the drummer is crazy awesome! (drumbiz is showbiz haha, everyone knows it.) haha the yo yo man. xD ok crap I think I'm getting my programme order abit screwed but ohwells.the blessed sacrament part was kinda freaky, when that girl started gasping and screaming. :/ and I need to learn the stuff to sing now now now argh. during camp everyone was singing fluently and I was like ohman, I don't know the words. oh and the tune of oh sacrament most holy oh sacrament divine was different. oh and this part was really like the power of 2000 ppl in absolute silence. even a tempo wasn't 2000 I think!and of course, all the p&w! it was like this build up of highness zomg. :D high high high! like really, the power of 2000 people singing their hearts and souls out for God! I love as it is in heaven! :D and the theme song (which was also the theme song for world youth day '08). ohcrap, I forgot its name! D: there were some songs that most of us didn't really get and thus didn't really like though. but TEH HIGHEST was prince of peace! :D like zomg, we all scrambled down, and yelled ourselves hoarse, and at the chorus we were jumping so much we got stitches. awesomeness, I tell you! [I noticed that when you're being very enthu and singing extremely loudly, you'll go one octave down xD]anw, after everything, like the whole hall was chanting for one way, but they didn't play. D: haha some enthu ppl started it themselves though, and the whole hall joined in when they heard the chorus haha but like only sfx continued to the You are the way the truth and the light part. anw, ayd '08 was really an amazing, awesome event la. ((: I wanna go next year!noone wanted to leave haha. and when we finally did, the girls in my bus we were like bellowing gay songs like barney, and other random songs. haha before that we were actually still singing p&w songs la hahaha. ohman, we didn't sing shout to the Lord! D: it's still like my fave.so anw, yesterday really made it to one of the best days of my life. :D and ACT1V8 is really a damn cool phrase. acts 1, verse 8! really, may we all be sent forth with the holy spirit activated. (: "I've got soul and I am a soldier of Christ!"
oh haha and random phrase, from jerome as usual: HPs make your brains become mashed cauliflowers with melted cheese. uh, okay? hahaha. it sounds very angie.
