There was exam, and then there was camp. Everything passed by so quickly, quicker than the blink of peishan's very small eyes and even quicker than you can say 'peishan who?'. Exam and camp overlapped in a very irritating awkward way, ask the nus people and they will testify to that. I really must thank them for making the extra effort to come down for camp(crystal!) even though they have papers the very next day. *salute* And through this I see what really matters to them.

Exam was bad but camp was awesome! It occurs to me that this could really be a life transforming experience for many and I am so glad that I went for camp. Aren't you all? And this is not cliche because I am not a cliche kind of person. Rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, how awesome is that! And I think 'awesome' is so the word now, made popular by Pastor Chris. Anyway, I don't know how can I begin to speak of what the camp was about. The workshops, games and services. I just can say I learned a lot. And the rest is pretty personal.

Special mention to my dearest camp comm for pulling me along throughout the camp, I must have been some serious deadweight. Carissa, Toby, Johannes, Shiying, Persis and of course Ben. And to the two camp commandants, David and Louelle, many thanks for being the camp comm's voice and running the programs with us. Oh oh! To all the domain leaders, thank you for being this awesome and wonderful bunch of leaders that helped us in so many significant ways, really couldn't have done the camp without you guys. I remember our great debrief that night when everyone was super sleep deprieved. When we talk about the last workshop and shared our difficulties. I remember Carissa being super high, giggling almost at everything. Then there was the joke ongoing about Cze kin and Abby(woah! am i suppose to be typing this here btw?). Then Nat's struggles about being a mocker. Nahnah they all suddenly gone mad and everyone just started speaking really loudly and in a while the whole room was full with screaming, sleep-deprieved people. Germaine spoke to herself using 2 walkie-talkies, how cool is that. I remember all these and it brings warmth to my heart. (:

More about the workshops another time. Just to sum up that God moved strongly, very strongly in this camp. I love to see my p6ers respond to God and making their stand for Christ. I want to be like them too, making a stand for my Jesus. I want to start making my days count and to be quick to do what I promised Him I would do. And as I type this I can already think of people who will scoff at what I wrote, thinking what is this need to make everything so spiritual? 'Are you just trying to sound holy? What is this need to relate everything to God?' I can think of names already but I cannot explain the joy being in the King's court for one day compared to a thousand days in this world. I can't put into the words but I am not looking for understanding, so it is okay.

Oh a point to note, I can't run and shelve anymore. I am a runner yes I know, but I just can't do this anymore. Who knows, the previous action may have affected me in ways that I couldn't imagine. Okay, the elaboration will come later, let's move to the smaller things.

Exam is over! So many things I want to do before, but suddenly seem to forget about them already. Anyway, met up with lp, ps and chit on friday. Had a great time just hanging around, eating proper food(camp food was abit.. erm) and we watched Happy Feet. Not a bad flick, kind of like Nicole Kidman and Elijah Woods' voices. But I watched it with a throbbing headache, probably why I didn't come out thinking it was that awesome. I want to do this with them more often, I miss my team. I have already booked most of them for 21st Dec's Strings. I really hope everyone will come and do this together(we have never watched a musical together before!). Thanks to those that already gave their promise, I appreciate this alot. (:

I met up with deborah today! Happy happy! Even though ern and nicky weren't kind, seeing her was a big fat redeeming factor. So one of my resolution is to meet her more often this holiday before she flies off to charlene, another friend that I want to meet but cannot meet(boohoo!). What will I do without both of them man. And I am going to meet chuhan! Miss that silly girl loads. Have to catch her before she flies off to her boyfriend in Japan(boohoo!). See, have to catch all my friends before they fly off to someone else, hahah. And I have got a special date with the phang sisters and crazy eugenia(seriously crazy I mean). So things are looking up. I guess I need to be around these people that matters. Of course, hopefully can spend some time with shiying, persis, tianying and jingen(who will not be free at all because of Strings). JB on monday sounds good but stupid ernie says he doesn't want me to go, very evil.

Oh no I think I am ranting already. Okay bye for now!
