I want a balcony like sam's. I could spend like forever there, alone or with friends. but I wouldn't get anything done with life, I'd just spend all my time thinking ABOUT life. but it's really so awesome, to stargaze (un-stacelike, of course), lie in music or silence, talk to Him. sleep, smile, think, cry. I WANTS ONE.
okay not like I am getting much done with life. I've totally wasted my entire hols away (ok well not really wasted in that sense, but basically haven't done anything academically productive), and ohmyfreak hols are almost over, and since I got back from camp I've been spending half my time sleeping and the other half on the comp, mostly fb. or else simply drifting and daydreaming. yeesh.
on another note, whee, ytd was like an awesome band birthday :D well planned, much thanks to (the rest of) my section (since I've been sleeping and drifting rmb, all I did was like spark off ideas :/). sadly we got chased out of amk hub, but the bishan park stuff was relatively fun. and WOAHH we all fit into sam's house, and dipped our feet in her pond, and poledanced around her bamboo trees, and did many awesome jumpshots on her lawn. haha ohyes, and our pizza was good :D 'sides the fact that that would be my third time I'd eaten pizza this week. fattttttttt.
and I kinda miss having braces. and I want to continue going for daily mass! but I'm already being banned from all activity for the last lap of hols to, uh, catch up so. :/ *cries* no more group date and direct outing! D:
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after you
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you
You're my friend and you are my brother
Even though you are a king
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you
I want you more than gold or silver,
only you can satisfy.
You alone are the real joygiver
and the apple of my eye.
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you

I think our confi camp was when the seed was sown, and this was fertiliser for the already sprouting plant. I didn't actually cry, but there were many almost-teared. and I think I really went into a deeper level of worship (: my sharing was eh heh, but the rest were really good. haha and I think the three of us work awesomely together!
go group 6! :D mhmm, and I think after praying with, I really felt the true joy of the Lord, I couldn't stop smiling. (: and He was leading me all the way through, even though I was very much at a loss of what to say, and brandon did say stuff too after all! and after my first touchtime I stood beside the scrolls and thanked Him, and prayed before my second, and the scroll I got began, "Christ will appear a second time." how great is that? beautiful. we also saw some amazing transformations. "Praise the Lord!" Psalm 149:1. haha fuzzies till 2+am the last night. and I found out the sad story of the batch above us D:
sadly, that call right after the end of camp kinda slammed everything from the past 4-5 days, it was seriously like some steadily rising balloon being shot. sigh. but well, felt much better after spending half an hour in ado today (: and ranting I guess haha, thanks! ♥ and whee so many confirmands came for mass today. DO was like woah, father's office was full and overflowing haha. like God's love. I really hope that it doesn't just end here and die off for everyone, but it will take root and continue to grow, like it did for us.
and sitting in ado today, I realised that the lyrics of So You Would Come really touches me. I was that close from tearing.
Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come
and I am in love with Worthy Is the Lamb too (: singing in the shower ftw :D I can't believe they heard us :/
Thank you for the cross, Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace
Thank you for this love, Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace
Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
I thank You so much for this opportunity; I will definitely do it again. maybe our facil tree will continue to grow too! freeman-gracemary-me :D and I'll prob want to go for the next youth camp yay. go with me (:

one happy, exhausted person (:
it was a great band camp, despite being a day camp. probably one of the best in fact. okay maybe the first day wasn't too impressive. fast forward, captain's ball! :D I very smartly had loose shoes and fell within like, what, the first minute -.- but yay I got to play again. and we won whee! sec3s were really good though (: [oh and I found out who the "I'm gonna die" person is.] then sweaty and gross we tramped into the band room and stunk it up for the first of many times over the next 48hrs. and I decided to bear with it and not change cos special programme was apparently "physical. VERY physical." haha.
kay section interaction started off kinda phail, since apparently (like mutual sharing) we were supposed to "stick to the agenda, don't play games or take section photos", but well, we ended up doing the latter two anyway. many failed attempts and an awesome jumpshot later, we played like one/two rounds of truth-or-dare which saw joanne dancing around gloria the pole (hey I noticed the SL is always the pole! :p). and then a rather phail honey I love you. lesson of the day? WE HAVE WEIRD SEC1S. but well I comforted myself that everyone was weird in sec1 so hopefully they'll grow up fine. but seriously. they took like, 20min? to attempt a honey I love you, and one heavily punctuated with giggles too. and during lunch (or was it tea), their argument over the cuteness of portable toilets. like OKAYY.
direct taking was spent looking for mr mizar/ trying to call mr mizar/ finally meeting with mr mizar, but we also took perseus for a bit. hm there're still stuff to work on, but they've both improved so much (: haha batch bonding became like batch sleeping, with some of us listening to music etc. at least the sec1s (supposedly) spent it planning what to spend the next day's one doing! xD
war games were quite pointless haha (the first part), firstly cos the area was too small to really run, then plus the rules were such that everyone ended up just standing at the midline and staring at each other/ doing the can-can. and then people started trying to find loopholes, which made it not fun already if we actually did it that way haha. vivian was awesome though :D zoooom. then the mass one was at the field so bigger space, but in the end it became like just random running, getting caught, and getting saved. cos people didn't even know like where the castles actually were. but still quite fun la haha. oh I amazingly avoided/outran everyone who tried to catch me, then smashed headfirst into xinyi -____- haha after that we took band photos in the hot sun, a funny greenuncle helped us take. then, even more sweaty, we hit the band room again. (they had to air it out afterwards lol :p) and this time I REALLY had to change haha so yupp.
after dismissal we hung around the band room for a bit. camwhored, played with balloons (I want D:), and happily got one stuck at the aircon :O haha and whoo I found out that I'm not bad at limbo-ing , but it's probably just cos I'm short(er) haha. yupp then we all crashed far east for dinner, no surprises there. shared mogu mogu with julia, yepp they cut prices (still not exactly cheap though), and a full house bubble tea. then we headed off for sam's house. had an interesting bus ride talking with julia about juniors and the future of the band and all. and got totally confused and freaked out when walking in from the bus stop even after shunning the responsibility of remembering the way out. cheem! haha anw, wii-ed the rest of the night away after a nice shower, and gave up the idea of sleeping on her skydeck. aww! anw jess adn I decided to stop being anti-social and finally went down, to be greeted by like 10 mattresses in various positions across her living room and dining room. woah. yupp, with a mattress each and a nice blanket, I had a good sleep.
woke up the next day when the birds did, again when alarms rang, again when talia left. but got up only after my own alarm. had an awesome donut breakfast, thanks sam's dad! he also fetched us in batches to the bus stop so we needn't have worried about the way out. the bus took uber long, and drove uber slowly, and we ended up late, and thereby scolded afterwards :/ batch bonding was fun and productive (unlike the previous haha), we did the write a sentence, pass, draw it out, fold, pass thing. the end results were hilarious! xD there were a lot of recurring themes lol, like jolyn, apples, and clowns. and uh hairy things. eh heh and I kinda spent direct taking on fb. lunch was batch lunch, and I didn't share this time haha. and there's nothing wrong with pineapples! nor ginger but less people will agree with me on this one so nevermind.
then it was amazing yellow race (omg you know I only connected the yellow with the location clues paper colour quite long later ahaha) whee! I think games this camp were the best, at least different from the usual station games, although some groups cheated and skipped stations. haha the first game was crazy, they damn smart lah, make us run up run down run up run down. then cherades which was super easy lol, band member or conductor. the listen to band song and hum one was slightly screwed firstly when I can't hum (but yay they got all anyway) and secondly cos our station mistress got a call AND ANSWERED IT in the middle of our game lol. the quiz was like, BOOM, suddenly test academics somemore haha. unfortunately both dot and I had thrown away all P&C knowledge heh. the jigsaw and blurred pics one was fast. and the canteen pne we totally wrecked our newspapers haha! oh and that thing totally showed it was the luckiest day of my life or something. 1st question, composer of pioneers, I knew cos well, I like pioneers. 2nd question, fourth song of cadenza, I randomly started guessing with aquarium cos uh I remembered it for being the most boring, and woah, correct! then 3rd question, how many time changes are there in overture 1, I spouted the first number that came into my head, three, then OMG CORRECT :O haha our group totally owned first game, although we got held up at first location, but got caught up with afterwards. especially cos AHEM some people skipped stations. go paris! romantic, sophisticated, charming, and most of all francais :D shouting go paris go around the track for one round totally murdered my voice, which is why I can't sing/ sound funny now, cos I was totally forcing and ended up being like the volume of the rest of the group besides dot added together haha.
everyone was so amazingly fast that we were way short of the planned time for games lol, so they had a "surprise programme", section interaction! didn't go expecting much, but it ended up like THE MOST AWESOME PART OF CAMP :D crashed a new J block classroom for the aircon. and we played games like conquering which was quite mind-wracking haha. and my impromptu-thought-up-of I never hangman, which turned out quite amusing haha. we must do it more often d: then we had to move to an upper classroom cos greenmen had to clean, and had tea. shh! finished up the previous day's famous amos and digestives. and yupp the sec1s were weird and laughy again. milo-spurting alert! haha and many things were generally funny lah :D yay I think it's good that we're quite close to the sec3s and the sec3s are quite close to the sec2s and the sec2s are quite (in comparison. haha will get more one la!) close to the sec1s.
when we went back the entire band was there already :/ so we followed off for mutual sharing. ahh I was such a fail head, even with borrowing the agenda from peixin. the stuff were kinda hard to talk about, and delia was quite quiet haha. I was totally boring everyone with like my rgssb life story or something ohman. I don't know lah, it's really hard to talk about such a thing, to describe such a love in words, to paint out such a journey of four years in five minutes. it's really something you have to live yourself to understand. and I hope they do/will(: okay when I got back and stopped worrying about what to say and about droning, I sorta started emo-ing heh. farewell pang again. sighhh. visioning session, I wrote a totally kimdergarten-ish hope, but it was totally heartfelt, so yay :D letter was messy ohdear, but completely heartfelt too(:
then as usual dillydallied for a long while before finally leaving for section dinner heh. went far east instead of lido, I think it's become our new section dinner place already haha. fountain instead of escalator, for the aircon hahaha. initiated joanne into pastamania-eating! and shared meatball penne with gloria, and a big gulp too. mmmm. haha whee and we treated the section to an apple crumble pizza, and now 2nd june is officially slww day! (: nope we didn't embarrass ourselves by playing games like I never hangman in the middle of a public area :p but definitely in other ways like lying around the staircase for section photo heh. guilty as charged. and took various direct photos and photos with the sec3s (: haha I am still amused by the hugging thing. nevermind, farewell xD ohyes and lesson of this day: OUR SECTION IS LARGELY PAEDOPHILIC :O hahahaha. and quite a number of our section like blue and don't like pink. that was me in primary school! haha had quite interesting/fun/nice conversations for the rest of that night. found out that I'm not the only one who emos when I blogsurf! haha but omg sheryl you must stop being so emo. jumping-off-building thoughts are wayyy overboard. lol and joanne, who has no control over her eyebrows (and shoulders. offbeats! xD)! yupp, finally had to leave, and did, very very happy about slww and very very emo about farewell.
I think I've never felt like I love SLWW so much before! :D so that was my happy ending to band camp (: but that night, I had to actually pray that my heart would remain intact on farewell D:
-
and I'd like to thank You so much Lord, for my awesome co-facils (: and our awesome chemistry. all nokia fans, who have/have had 5610 music Xpress! may camp be an enriching experience for us all, as well as the sec3s of course, and may all go smoothly. daily mass, gogo!
