hoping for a peace of mind
It has really been a very long time since i wrote anything. But that doesn't mean there's no events that happened the past many days. Haha. Even though my memory is so bad, there's still things i can remember. Now that the year is coming to an end, i guess i need to write things for this month December. Been really lazy this month in the sense that i don't want to post about things everyday. In addition, haven't been contacting most of my friends excluding church and my GIs. Sorry if i haven't been replying you guys or answer your calls. For those out there that may come upon seeing this, i guess its time for some reflection on this year itself. I have been thinking about for quite awhile and i realised one thing. I CAN'T ORGANIZE MY TIME PROPERLY! =xMaybe that's the reason if i cancel our dates or i always appear very busy. And now its already the last week of the year. Finished my course and waiting for my cert. And camp has past quite fast. This what happened during the two weeks that i was missing.So here goes...Kayaking 2 StarIt was a 3 day course. Very tiring and at the same time quite fun even though my arms were numb at the end of each day. We were at the kallang river. The water was FILTHY! At first it looked quite clean cos i don't really see black oil and dead fishes floating around like some beaches do. But the moment you get out of your boat and into the water when you capsize, you can feel the gooey substance and the horrific smell. YUCK. You can guess how many time i washed my hair when i got home. Learn new strokes that were rather challenging. The thing i love the most is Eskimo roll!!!! Argh! Almost managed to get up. Feeling down when you think about it.It was really fun when spend time with your friends doing what you love. The GIs only meet only the end of the year unless random visits to primary school or when the snickers have competition and training then will able to see some of them. So, yeah. Love you guys. MISSES!JUNIOR CAMP!This year's was rather different in a way. The campsite is at a different location now that the one at sentosa is going to be demolished. Its sad when you think about it. its demolished because of the new casino coming up.We had all the space we wanted. Games could be extended all the way to the beach, not much restrictions for space. It feels like the whole camp only have us. No publicans walking in and out. We use to have treasure hunt throughout the whole sentosa. Running here and there finding the stickers, doing funny forfeits where you sing loudly to people you never seen before. And funny actions like the super heroes star jump. Oh wells. That's just memories for now. Now the camp is at salvation army somewhere in bukit timah. Our main hall is really very small. We use to have a hall that is big enough to play games. I guess I'm just too use to the old camp site. Okay enough for the so called "flaws" of he new campsite. It was rather nice. The whole we're in air conditioned corridors, dorm and hall. The beds were rather comfy, even though there's not much ventilation cos the dorm is at the basement. Weird huh...Learnt something new during games, its called the Algorithm March. Its super nice when you have more than 10 people doing it with you. We even added each group's signature moves. Maybe we'll do it on thanksgiving again in church. Mealtimes was fine. The food were all catered, in a way its nicer i guess... The camp's theme was "Are you ready?" I was so excited for the message thinking that they will tell us about the prophesies of the Lord's second coming. Then finally realised they will only talk about how to be ready when He comes again. Guess that even scares me more that i have the thinking I'll never be ready. Had treasure hunt on bukit timah hill. We had five stations to complete. The first was to take as many picture as you can with strangers that you see around the area excluding the workers within 5 min. The rest of the stations i couldn't remember. But the only thing i know is NO MORE STICKERS to find. So miss the colourful stickers and the zoomed in photo to lead you to the station. Having clues that were usually photos or some weird riddles. Wonder how they came up with this stuff.Left on the last to leave for Malaysia the next morning. I want to go back to camp...=(GENTINGDidn't really look forward to this trip though. Cos i have to leave earlier. The only thing that i was excited about was the theme park and SHOPPING! And i can tell you i was not disappointed by the rides at all. The first day, reached the place rather late in the afternoon. After that Super long bus ride that cause my motion sickness. Thank God there was television to watch and my music to make me fall asleep. And we have to wait again to check in because it the festive season. The reason being that means LOOOOOOONG QUEUE. Sat at a corner doing nothing. Waited for half an hour or more i guess. Headed for dinner and time for shopping. Didn't buy much, but i did manage to find shirts that i like. Other than that we were just walking here and there. Here comes the theme park the next morning. Had pizza hut for breakfast. The first ride we took was the spinner. Didn't really want to go to thriller ones with a full stomach. I wouldn't want to end up losing my breakfast if you know what i mean. Drove the fun cart if i don't remember wrongly. The helmet was stinking up my whole head. For that ride, i didn't even use the brakes except the the part where i almost bang into others and at the end. Headed to space shot. I was shaking from head to toe when we're waiting for our turn. We sang songs on the way up. Then here comes the countdown. We counted beforehand and it took approx 13-15 sec for it to drop. The moment it dropped, i could litterally feel that my heart was in my mouth. Couldn't even make a sound until it went up again. SHOCKING! But it feels good. haha. The rest of the rides that we took were just typical when you visit the theme park. Then while waiting for cyclone, it started to dristle. After awhile it started pouring. Wanted to wait till the rain stop but soon our shoes were soaking wet. And its still raining. Went back to the hotel to dry ourselves up. Had international buffet for dinner. Quite nice other than ther super hard indian chicken. HahaThe moxt exciting thing is we went to sit on the flying coaster straight after that. The ride was HORRIFYING!!! I thought i'm going to die. Oh my.... You don't sit for it. You'll lie on your stomach!!!! The moment we go up, i saw that th next thing was to go down, I started screaming even before we went down with my eyes closed. SCARY!!!But addicting... haha.LOVE IT!My God is enough♥
