Yeah~~~ Back from Camp~~~

Well.... finally... I'm back.... home sweet home.... ^_^

Hmm... let's see... the wedding dinner was quite good... food not bad.... but didn't really felt anything special at that wedding because i am not very close to the cousin that is getting married..... age barriers..... so nothing much to say about it....

And the camp....WA.... i tell you.... i would consider it as one of the toughest i have been too.... seriously.... and let me tell you why.... ( may be abit offensive, but i mean no harm to anyone... and to my cousin reading this..... ok? ^_^)

ok..here goes...

Everyday.. there will be at least 2 hours of service... a time for the Christians to sing songs, praise their lord, express emotions etc.... and it is during these 2 hours that i find it especailly tough... tougher than the 9km run of my OBS camp... tougher than the push-ups done during NPCC camps( trying to hao lian abit here... don't mind me.. Heez).... because during those times... i will be standing there... stoning... sometimes reading their song lyrics... sometimes trying very very very hard to keep myself awake...
I even began to think of what i should write for my blog at those times to keep myself awake!!!

And standing at attention for such a long time, without any participation... stoning there... is really very very tiring.....
And everytime they finish one song... i will be like "ok ok.. enough... last song already.....".. but they will always continue one... and 1 song sometimes can sing for like so long~~~~

ok....Maybe some of you may say... then sing along lar... then not so tired what....
Well..... i know that... but i am a man of my principles you see.... if i don't believe in something, and i know that even if i do the thing, it will not be from my heart... i see no point in doing in... so i chose to keep quiet.... especially this religious stuffs....
And so... i kept quiet during their prayers... singing songs that praise their lord, and whatever stuff that involves their religion...
For the record, i am a free-thinker.... and so far... the only thing i believe in.... is myself~~~~ ( hey... this one is not hao-lian... is confident of myself, ok....)

But generally... i find the camp quite fun.... as compared to my other camps... fun... in the sense that it is really for fun one... not much lessons to be learnt from it... and the fun level was really "fun"... because there are kids there too.... (in the male bunk, i am the oldest, together with another guy, Timonthy, of the same age)
And sometimes.... i guess i have to be mature (got abit of act "mature"... no choice.. because got kids around...like suddenly see alot of my Tu-Er running around.... -_-") and so.... yar... and i guess i am very easy going... so also made some not bad friends there... like Tana (my group leader.. a person who have the personality and looks of my VS good friend... Zhen Yan), Milton (chinese chess very good)....Joel( play the guiter one) and.. hmm... some others... can't remember all the names....

Yar... i guess the camp was generally fine... nothing very special to me... because it is a church camp.... and i guess i didn't click on as well, or have that much enthusism in this camp because the religion was some sort of a barrier to me... because i don't sing their songs... and so i cannot get my "spirit" on.... only sang some campfire songs like the "friendship dance", and some other dono what title one...

Oh yar.... 1 more thing i must say.... during their services... i was actually abit shocked and disturbed to see them do stuffs... like suddenly breaking down, cry, falling onto the ground ( Tana was beside me... then suddenly he just "bong" onto the ground... knees koncking against the floor very hard... then started sobbing.... i can feel the pain for him man... but he told me he felt nothing.... -_-")
It's like.... so weird.... so.... so... ermm.... hmm... like suddenly become another person.... oh yar.. like a baby....(that's what Pastor Lim told me...)...
Personally.. i feel nothing... so the thicked-headed me just stand there... in "Senand diri" position, observing their ceremony quietly... feeling strange there... like a sore thumb standing out like that...

Hmm.... what other things... oh yar... and the children there... some of them...really abit "kiddish"... can't really blame them.. they are kids what... so most of the time i just give in to them..

And oh.... it was lucky for me that there are another 5 non-christians there.... 3 Buddhist and 2 free-thinker.... and they also didn't join in the christian ceremony... and so at least i didn't feel so weird.....

There was just one thing i seriously didn't get it... my couisn say they won't try to convert us there one..... but they were like totally trying to get everybody to join in the religion like that lor... but luckily... i am stubborn enough to stand firm in my stand.... sorry about that...

And on the last day.... it was really like chalet like that... got BBQ... then followed by play card games and chinese chess till morning... around 6 a.m... a group of us who don't want to sleep... but in the end i still go and sleep abit... because theu started palying "Bridge".. which i did'nt know how to play...

And well.. i guess that is about it for the camp....

Anyway... i reached home today at around 1100 by MRT (my parents went back Sabah liao.....and the journey like not long.... Punggol to Tana Merah...)
Then jsut now unpacked my stuffs... and actually wanted to blog.. but feeling abit dizzy..... guess it's because of the lack of sleep... so went to sleep... then after that watched some TV... and was hoping for friends to ask me out for countdown.... the Senghou gang asked me... but they wanted to watch "Meeting the Fockers".... and so i didn't join them... yet.... maybe alter see how.... but i think the probability of joining then abit low.. so late leh.... and my classmates also didn't say got any gatherings... well.... heck.... countdown at home myself lor....

I also unpacked my "Steam-Tepanyaki" machine.... felt like having some steam-boat by myself... but very troublesome... so some other time ba...mayeb get my friends to come over... haha....

Hmm... guess that's about it for today~~~ and well.... thanks for everything, 2004!!!

2005..... HERE I COME!!!
