time isn't healing.

So while my family are up at Genting enjoying themselves at church camp, I'm stuck here studying. If it wasn't for the fact that I have Chemistry the coming week, I would have gone for camp.

Being at home alone is pretty nice though. The house is quiet. NO fighting for anything. Eat at anytime. But anyhow my dad is coming back tomorrow to take me for tennis then he's going back to Genting later in the evening.

And now I'm officially hooked back onto anime and manga. I used to watch manga quite often last time. Then I stopped cause I got bored but now I'm starting again.

Now a post about MYF camp.

Wednesday 12.03.2008

Got there late seeing as it's almost impossible to wake Weng Yan up. But still in time for ice breakers though. Got put in the YELLOW group with Denise as my group leader. That girl ah I tell you, hyper like nobody's buisness. Okay, so we had a discussion about our team name and cheer and designed our flag. Finally we decided on Bananas For God(BFG).

Our cheer went something like this.
We are going
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Bananas, bananas
Bananas for God.

My tag. And no, my name is not eng yee.

So after that we had our treasure hunt/amazing race. Tons and tons of walking involved. We walked all the way to Paandi's where my group had to have 19 roti canais. It may seem like a lot but it really isn't seeing as we have 11 people in our group. Later we climbed up Bukit Gasing. Nice hike. Climbed all the way back down to do a task where we had to put eggs into our pockets and roll over reflexology stones. My egg didn't break!!! Then walked all the way to Amcorp mall and back. Quite tiring. Went back to church and took a shower. Had our first session that night with Annette. Went back home around 10.30.

Got up around 6.30 and followed my dad to his office for a Presentation Skills seminar. It was a complete waste of time seeing as I've spent 2 years in English learning about how to do good speeches with Mr Mark. Left around 3 and reached Peacehaven at 4. Just in time for Fun night planning. This year instead of the usual skits, we had to do a sort of music video.

My group had to use the character Niki from Heroes, set in the caveman times with hair models. The 3 songs we got were Unwell but Matchbox 20, Friends theme song and Fix You by Coldplay. Talk about being emo.

Haha. Funny pic while we were outside in the car park planning the music video.

Friday 14.03.2008

Had another session with Annette. Then instead of having Team building exercises, we had an hour long prayer thing. Where for an hour we went around and prayed for each other. Something different but it was nice. Games after that. First game was where we were all tied up together and had to walk around to get flags. Quite fun but required lots of teamwork.

My group tied up.

Next game dodgeball. Let's just say it wasn't very safe. I got hit on the head with a basketball. And then we played BelalangBelatuk. Quite fun but I kept getting confused as to when I had to run or catch.

We also had this game where 3 people balanced on two wooden sticks and had to walk to one end to the other. The guys did better in this game. Wanna know why? Cause they walk kangkang. Girls usually walk one foot in front of the other so it was harder with the wooden sticks.

Just to tell you the wooden sticks and circular not square.

Then we had the balloon game which was SUPER fun. Everybody had to pair up and our hand and legs were tied to each other. After that each pair had 5 balloons which they had to protect which trying to burst other teams balloons. Then we had Tug of war. We lost terribly.

Me and my team flag. That's also my gila team leader Denise.

Last day at camp!! Closing session with Pastor Buell. Left Peacehaven around 1. Ate lunch at Hartamas then went back home. First thing I did was sleep.

Actually I was going to go into greater detail about camp but soooooo lazy right now.

Woke up early this morning seeing as I was supposed to do ushering for Palm Sunday. In the end didn't really need to as they had enough people.

if you meet me half way.

Just got back from MYF camp this afternoon. So am super tired....

Will put up a long and detailed post with pics some time tomorrow after tennis.

The camp was okay. Not as fun as the past ones have been seeing as lots of regulars were missing but I still learned a lot about God and that's the most important thing.

Let's also say that just because it's a youth camp does not mean that there are no 'scandal' stories to tell.

Hunger. Poverty. Deprivation.

Went for the 30 hour famine in Bukit Jalil on Sat and Sun. It was an experience. Never knew that the level of poverty in the world was so bad.

30 hour famine logo. Henna tattoo.

When there was still food in her tummy.
25 HUGE balloons.
Me, Trixie, Melissa and Puiyi were in group 6. With a group leader who sounded like
Willy Wonka.
A game where we had to build a shelter for 5 people. Pretty good if I do say so myself considering it was made out of newspaper, string, cellophane tape and water bottles.
We name it 'Hope for children'
Look at the number of people. And that's only half.
Reading to pass time.

After 30 hours of no food only water, it was time to BREAK FAST!!! It wasn't so bad. But the last hour was agony.

Chocolate soya bean and banana cake never tasted so good.

Of alcohol, movies and camps

Let's start with camp.
Got there around 10.30. Had the opening activity which was the skit for 10 minutes. My group, 'Yahweh yellow' had to do the 10 plagues. Jon was a very good Moses. Haha. Had lunch then went over to the clubhouse for telematch. Did the blowfish and handball. Blowfish was fun, we had to do a wheelbarrow then blow a newspaper fish. But my arm hurt like crazy after that. Handball was okay. Lost in the first round as 80% of our team was under 12. And the other team had all the adults.Got 2nd place though as other adults played for our team later. Went back to the apartment after showering. You know, when I went in I realized that I've stayed there before, not only for prefect camp but in primary school for some study thing. Had icebreakers that night. Not much to say bout that.

Second day, woke up around 7 which is pretty late by my standard for a camp. But anyway, wanted to go to the river but Michelle took very long to get ready so just went for breakfast. Had a session with Wei Shen. Had lunch then the 'highlight' of the camp. Fear factor/Survival challenge. For youths only. Started out with a brain teaser asking loads of questions bout Becca, Lauren and Jason. Had to swim in the pool for answers. Was the first team to finish then went to the futsal court to do the 2nd task. Jon had to be blindfolded and we had to tell him what to draw. Next was the football thing, get 3 goals while blindfolded. Did the gurney sack race after. Then went to Jason's station. Had to stick our hands into a mixture of cornstarch and soya sauce. AND rub it in our hair. Then stuck our foot into it to take out a prune. The worse was next. Lauren and Becca's station. A mixture of flour, raw eggs, soya sauce and tomato sauce. There were 12 high sours in the mixture and we had to take it out using only our mouths. Didn't really taste that bad but it was REALLY salty. Someone puked though. Finally got the last station where we all had to memorise a sentence. 'Dear friends we are pleased to present you with our 2006/2007 gifts of hope catalogue featuring gifts that will put a smile on your face and hopes in the hearts of children and families.' Got to the finish line second. Lost to red by only a teensy weensy bit.

Talent night. Didn't do really well. The adults in our team so 'tak semangat'. Got last for that. Overall got second though. Lost by 1 point to purple but tied with red. This camp like went by so fast. Had loads of fun though.

Came back and started packing for Puiyi's b'day. Went to redbox. We all 'sang' so much. It was fun though. Then me, trixie, melissa and aleena went back to puiyi's house for a sleepover. Though you know that teenage girls never sleep at sleepovers. Watched a french movie called innocence but as only me and trixie could understand a bit, changed the movie to 'the perfect creature'. Melissa's pick. She likes vampire movies. Aleena wanted to watch the pick of destiny but we all didn't. She said it was because of the fat man. Haha. 'The perfect creature' wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Watched 'perfume' after that. It was a good movie if a little vulgar. Okay, not little, quite vulgar. Ended up sleeping at 5. but woke up at 9. Had to leave at 11.30 as had dental appointment. Changed my braces colour to BLUE. Wanted white but then it wouldn't really show.

Went for piano rushed home to get ready for ballet. Had dinner at San Francisco Steakhouse that night. So was super tired when reached home.
