SUP! Back from church camp and my little extended shopping holiday in Malacca (so NOT Melaka which looks ugly!) I felt like a L-O-S-E-R because like almost everyone posted about church camp except me! Ho. Yeah, so I'm just going to talk and talk and not post pictures because I didn't take many. My mum took a lot though; most of it was cute little kids playing games! I almost SCREAMED with laughter when I saw the photo of my little brother using the hockey stick to TRY and play! Eeek!

But photos aside, I'll post them after I talk! Hee hee. I just need to get rid of my excitement and to record some of my wonderful memories locked in my mind in my pizza-party.

I SOUND CORNY!

ANYWAY, this part is totally optional! So like, scroll down to the photos if you think I suck XD (Sorry, I'm SO cheong hei)

D-A-Y to the O-N-E

Last one to wake up in the family as usual. We follow Uncle Puay Kee's car to Kulai and then it appears that while Clement was hitching a ride in the car, he learnt a few new words? Ah I wonder if they were vulgar.

Okay, then I didn't know where all the girls were so I followed my mum around until Aunty Kar Foon saw me and she was like, "Felice! Why you follow all the aunties?" Yeah, so she showed me the way to the girls' dorm. The dorm was pretty! Bunked with Grace, Sandra, Shu En, Mel, Cassandra, Esther, Sarah, Huijuan and Yanleen. Hee hee.

We played some cards. I learnt a new game called PIG! I felt so dumb you know, because I progressed kind of fast at first, but then I realised that you have to look at everyone and not just be sucked into your own world of cards. Heh.

We went for this briefing thing, then we were supposed to go and play Captain's Ball. The people in my team were.. er... wait let me get my camp book, sorry. Sarah, Ben, Charissa, Jiansheng, Joanna and Andrew.

The Captain's Ball field was freaking disgusting please! SUCK TO THE MUD! We lost. How bad is that! D: BUT YOU KNOW WHAT! The other team had an age advantage. They were like, double, triple our age. So that means they're double, triple times better than us, YET their score wasn't double, triple ours! How cool is that! :D (ER.!)

Okay, then it was time to shower but then we went to dip our legs into the pool because it looked so irresistibly blue.

After shower was dinner. I seriously think the guys are addicted to POOL. Did you know that I'm scared of pool!? Because every time I try using the stick to push the ball into the hole, I make a mistake and its pretty embarrassing...

There was a sermon after dinner. It was pretty good! I tried listening, because I told myself that I had to make up for those times when I was distracted and all. Yes, so it was about (to summarise) being separated from the world and being saturated with the WORD. I think for me, the second point's okay, but I feel guilty with the first one! Ah, you see, because one of my weaknesses is that I like things which are popular, and do things everyone's doing. Which can get dangerous in future, when strangers question me about my beliefs. And of course, the unhealthy habit of gossip. (At least I admit okay...)

The program says "LIGHTS OUT" but of course. The guys came into the girls' dorm to have a time of laughter, cards and games. And then the parents came in to complain. Which I find quite amusing that parents can actually think until so far-fetched.

D-A-Y to the T-W-O

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARCUS! You and your square _oo_s.

Oh my freak. When I woke up my butt hurt so much I could cry. Well hello, every night I sleep with 2 pillows, 1 cushion, 1 bolster, 1 comforter, 1 army of soft toys and a nice soft bed. Compared to the thin mattress (my butt made a depression in it) and one pathetic pillow and blankie. But you know, I can draw another lesson from here. Basically, we shouldn't take things for grunted, yeah?

Breakfast was okay, then we had a time of leisure! I think we went back into the dorm to play cards, I don't remember. Or maybe it was pool. We had a sermon after that, and this time we learnt about prayer. I love Fred David's stories :D

Then we had lunch. Sandra and I sat with the 1992 babies and it was fun as usual. We had to peel prawns which taste oh so lovely but are oh so had to PEEL!

After lunch we were supposed to play with the kids! We played this cute little game called rabbits and dogs I think. It was quite amusing! I think I'm a loser because after one round of that, I had to rush off to the dorm to do a D.Wee!

Alright, when we came back, we played this game called H2O and then it was so cute! Especially when two cute kids walk out and come back with a youth or something. Hahaha. Good game for bonding! Then we played the blanket game. And like, I had no partner so I went with whoever who wanted to go again.

Alright, then we went to play floor ball. My team was quite alright, but it was just filled with people my age I talk to a lot, like Sandra, Jiansheng and the twins, so not much new there. Hahaha. Played whacko! That game gives everyone the giggles and laughs! But I find that sometimes the way people play it pisses me off, just a very small portion of it. I don't like the word sabo. And there are no chances in whacko, when your partner forgets your name, you go up there and whack.

After we bathed, we went for dinner, then another sermon. It was about the valley of dry bones and it was a really special night. Wow. I was so amazed with this things happening in the room.!

Aunty Karfoon opened up this lounge which the youths could use at night to have little fellowship sessions because the adults (were so cute) to complain and worry that 12 guys and 12 girls cannot be in a dorm with 12 beds. *chuckle*

Anyway, the room was like super cool. We had this dai tee tournament and this time I made it to the second round. Ah, how cool is that! But in the semi-finals (too much football) I was playing against Hui Juan and En Yao which are so fantabulously good that I don't stand a chance. :D

Okay, my sister taught everyone a new game called polar bear! It's quite a fun game which can include the masses. It's pretty complicated but you'll get it after a while! Yeah, then the 1992 babies played HEART ATTACK which is like my absolute favourite card game in the world! Too bad no one likes it. But anyway, I had a great time playing that. I love the part when everyone stacks their hands on top of one another after hearing HEART ATTACK :D

Then it was lights out. I slept better that night because I stole a pillow from the sofa. So I had two pillows instead of one. :D

D-A-Y to the T-H-R-E-E

We had breakfast, then a sermon. Fred D. (doesn't that sound cool) talked about thankfulness. 3 things Christians should take note of in their spiritual growth is accepting Jesus as our one and only Lord and saviour, examining our fatih from time to time (to make sure we're not drifting away slowly in the raft of EVIL) and allowing the love of God to be seen in our lives (the fact that we're alive - I guess that's enough).

We had leisure time! Sandra and I went to buy ice-creams. Then she made me play pool. Ack. *jaw-drop* So damn horribly embarrassing :O No one should ever team with me in pool. Did you know, that I was supposed to use the stick to push the white ball which pushes the black ball into the hole to conclude the game. I THINK. Yes, that's what I did. And I was so shocked that the black ball actually went in. But you know what? (There's always a but.)

Wrong hole.

We had lunch, and this time we made an effort to split up so I (and a few other youths) ended up eating with Rev. Soon and his wife.

More leisure time! We all went up to the lounge to have a round of games! We played like, polar bear, concentration, pig, the slapping game, big fish small fish (that game drives you up the wall, seriously!) and a few unsuccessful rounds of truth or dare.

Then everyone went down but Sandra and I were lazy to move so we sat there chit chatting. Then Shu En came up and told us to go down too. Yeah, so we went, but Sandra left her pack of cards in the lounge so we went back to get it. And guess what! We lost the rest! So we walked around like, the WHOLE resort! Poo.

Then we sat down at a table in the cafeteria with a bag of chips, 2 chocolate bars and a pack of cards. Jiansheng appeared out of nowhere with some kids. We saw the rest heading to the pool area. Jiansheng stayed there with them while Sandra and I went to the pool to take a look. Ah, I'm a pang seh-er.

We couldn't freaking swim. Cough.

We went to shower first, then when the girls got out of the pool, we joined them in the jacuzzi! But we only dipped out legs in there. Haha. Then Sandra got like, super red lobster legs which looked like Japanese high school socks. Hahahaha!

We were really late for the "BBQ" dinner! But we weren't that late for the talent surprise. It was really funny! Shaunald won some best judge award, winning a tin can of biscuits and each of the contestants got their own little prizes.

After that, we went to the lounge again. WE PLAYED MANY MANY MANY GAMES! So fun. After the games I think everyone was pretty tired so we were just talking. But you know, not everything went as well as perfect...

We slept at like 5am. :D

D-A-Y to the F-O-U-R

I dreamt of my friends playing cards, did you know that!

Had breakfast, then went for worship and service. It was about the Holy Trinity. After the sermon we had a group photo, as a church! Then we went to pack up. Those taking car stood at the entrance and did a wave for those taking bus. Haha. Felt like national day...

After the bus left, talked to some people who were still left. Then you know, all things, good or bad, come to an end, so we drove off to Malacca for our extended holiday with Uncle Keng Yew and his family.

More about the extended holiday tomorrow please, my MSN windows are blinking like crazy (orange-light district).

Thank you for your time if you actually read the whole thing (:
