so here i am still holding on,
cause every step you climb another mountain,
every breath is harder to believe,
you make it through the pain,
whether the hurricane,
to make it to ONE day
today is the day everyone had hoped for, the day that make the earth shake. lol. im exaggerating but it's true. woke up at 7.00 in the morning to follow mum to the market.
her reason for me to go, " i don't noe what u wanna have for breakfast"
srsly la, i was sleeping like so nicely until she called me.
then i realised that it was 9.00 am ade. i forgot that C was gonna pick me up to school*smack my head la* then hurried back to bathe, waved goodbye to my house, & left.
we reached the stall under the 'jejantas' & waited, waited & waited

20 minutes later, ppl start coming with tiny backpacks. i stared at mine and started comparing. wth? i might as well have brought my house along. haha.then the ride came~bus. it looks kinda old & all...
Chara: dont tell me that's the bus we're sitting
Sou Shuang: let's just hope the bus don't break down on the way.
me: i think the driver bought the curtain from Jusco's sale for 90% off yesterday.
everyone cracked up.
we stopped by Fettes Park to grab some lunch
Hokkien Mee + Soya Bean,
not such a bad combo to cover up my hunger.
then we reached STELA Maris, one word= GREY.
no offense but it was looking rather pale.
the getting-to-know you session was great,
my group came in as first -again.
not much at the first day.
*yawns-*

what we could have been, 4:44 AM.
a new day. a new beginning. woke up feeling fresh & refreshed. Sou Shuang had agreed to gather by the beach for devotion that morning. she gave us a few questions & we had to answer truthfully.
then, Theme Talk 2 started. Uncle Michael was the speaker of the day. goodness-he was like singing lullabye. its funny how i could only stay awake when Aunty Hannah is speaking. i grew fond of her, not him. He was talking bout Jesus, our Christmas present!
***
BBQ was the bomb.! 5 minutes before it started, me & Sue Xern quickly made orange juice.Janet came running to help us boil the sugar solutuion. it was very sweet. & all she could say is " no...it's not sweet. we have to think how it would taste like with the ice"
i was quite pissed la cause she wasnt put in charge also. but, it's her thought that counts.
then PSV came to join in the fun. everyone was busy pushing Chara into the sea. we prayed for low tide so that we can continue to carry out the BBQ by the beach. Chara & Lydia did ARISE song with actions. everyone took out their cameras & captured that funny moment. into youtube it would be inserted. then it was makan time. ate like mad ppl released from prison. i think we ate 50% food & 50% sand. pure sand. cause when ppl got up the swept the sand behind their butt, not knowing there were actually humans sitting right behind with BBQ chicken in their mouth. yuck, gross
night came & the sunset was just beautiful... the tide start to get higher by the minute. so we decided to build sand-tembok to avoid the tide from reaching the place we were all sitting. & it actually did work! Hallelujah@@@
boy were we happy! =) phew. after all the digging.
Jillian made us dance to the song Father Abraham. shaking our whole body la now,....
then the seniors had to stay back to help clean up. kesian kesian.
we get to rebut the toilet first!
11.00 pm *lights out*
what we could have been, 4:29 AM.
woke up early-again. probly cause we were one of the earliest room to sleep last night.had to do Morning Devotion with Li Fang loh. everyone eyed her as she asked us questions. quite akward leh with her. then it was Theme Talk 4 ade. the title for the talk was Live Christ & Touch Lives.it was amazing how Pastor thought of so many wacky jokes to share & made us lauge like little kids. then it was preaching time. Hannah told us what OBEY stood for:
o-oneness
b-buried in Christ
e-exalt Christ
y-yield in perseverance of faith
b-buried in Christ
e-exalt Christ
y-yield in perseverance of faith
& she told us that we meet many diff. humans that walk in & out of our lives. " Jesus died a victorious death so that we too can overcome our flesh desire"
thought of the day: if we are blind,should we seek help from the blind?
we quickly headed for lunch at the dinning hall downstairs, & went to the living room of Apartment A to check my envelope-for letters from my angel. one. just one. she wrote -THANK YOU. ( for the gift i gave her ) so was quite glad ler cause she liked it.

what we could have been, 4:00 AM.
woke up at precisely at 7.30 am. it was considered quite late la. Rachel Tiun was the first to wake up that particular morning. luckily the morning devotion was canceled.i stayed in for a couple of extra minutes to snooze. pretty tired due to the torture of games. lol.
had tuna bread for breakfast. humans from our apartment were the only ones awake-so far. the rest were still tucked in bed, not bothering to come down. so i took the opportunity to get my mortal to slices of bread & hurriedly took off so she wouldn't notice who her angel was.
then the day kicked off with singspiration led by Sou Shuang. it was indeed a very touching one, i believe. then Pastor Hannah asked us to lift up our hands high to pray for Sou Shuang. then Theme Talk 5 began. she asked the humans in the Conference Room to split into two groups, making a narrow path in between. the one by one group had to perform a dance a.k.a WALK OF FAME. was very embarassing la. everyone was like so 'kekok' lidat. then it was my turn, every individual had to create a step or dance throughout that walk. so without much thinking, i went & strut like a chicken like no one's business! wth? -it was major fun leh. everyone did cocky moves & weird stunts la. quite entertaining & everyone sure did had a great time laughing.
then it was Leaders turn. ME & CHARA just had to go la it seems. teacher was like " when u ready time just walk" Pastor Hannah prayed for us & she said this to me.
" i see a star in you. you have great potential but you have fear. you used to stand at the corner, hiding. you know so much about the Lord but you don't dare to show it. but now, it's time to renew that relationship with Him."
it was veryyyy looong so i couldn't remember the whole thing. my knees & hands were practically shaking & trembling before her as the presence of God was so real. then the next minute, i was down. right on the ground. shan't talk bout that further.it was truly amazing la what she did. but it was all just a tiny touch of God. Hes has still plenty of things to do in our lives. this is just the beginning, not the end.
then it was lunch time. the aroma of Fried Rice filled the air. my stomach was making thousands of groans. i was very hungry & weak at that point. then *drumrolls*
it was time to reveal Angel & Mortals! so the circle started with Li Fang, as she was the oldest there. then it was Jillian's turn, my main suspect for my angel. she went two rounds before coming to take me by hand. i told her, " i knew it was you!! aha!" then it was my turn. so panic-i nearly forgot who was my mortal. & i had to ask Evelyn. thank God i did not forget. so i grabbed YinJay's hand. she seemed well, pretty happy. -cause i gave her lotsa gifts! lol!
then it was the sad part. the ending. everyone gathered at the hall of Apartment A & waited with their ever-ready look. Sinead came up with the idea to ask Rachel Tiun to perform opera in public. she sang Think Of Me by David Archuletta in high-pitch. boy, was it pitchy!
everyone had a fun time making fun of her. Li Fang even added by saying " wei, you are embarrasing David Archuletta's name lah" the whole room went crazy.
& now, it was time to say goodbye. at 4.30, we reached school. its scary how time flee when we are having so much fun. but things gotta end right? everyone were so tired too. conclusion, it was major fun la getting to join this camp cause it was way beyong what i thought it would be.
see you guys next year!=)
