For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, i love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.

My very first time serving in children's camp and it was way awesome..
10th
we went to church for cleaning up and stuff..we did the cutting of paper for the names, putting it inside the paper into the card holders, sweeping and mopping the floor..
I'm in the upper primary group CONCERN with darren and both of us were the first time serving..
11th
woke up at 7am and thought someone broke the fire alarm..
nope, it was esther's alarm ring tone..
the children in my group (upper primary) are very shy..
they include:
wen bin
nicole
isabelle
esther
raferty
yixuan
jeremiel
bryan
i talked to who, who ignored me
at first..
then they talked..
like Nicole, she's naturally very shy..
and she has alot of cousins, like in almost every group (upper and lower primary) she has at least a relative inside..
I was one of the behind back up for praise and worship until ern xu retreated and stood behind me.. he was supposed to stay in front..
anyway, we sang my all-time favourite song - HE'S ABLE!!
but we kept repeating 'i wanna be' and it was very(not boring) just really uh.. long..
i thought of some random actions the night before and tessa wanted to do it..
but it was seriously random, so we didn't..
oh did i mention we were supposed to make our own lunch?
yeah the children were, youth helpers HELP.. thats what we're for..
but since eeliang and i weren't attached to any groups, we just hopped around, making sushi/hand roll..
i made about 6, i ate 2 of them.. the rest went into ... ... ...
but well, it was sure delicious(:
then we made Water Dumplings(水饺)..
my first one was a ball-dumpling..
because the initial state of the dough was rectangle and not a circle..
my second one was the best.. the third was.. not as a disaster as the first..
so i was eagerly hoping to get my ball-dumpling (which was artistically made- contributed by Jiamin) but i never got it!
it went into someone else's tummy):
well, i wasn't going to eat mine anyway, it was for ... ... ...
the upper primary did a skit about Sowing and Reaping..
it was quite cool..
i was the 'fast runner' aka 'the work horse'???!!!
during case study, dawn was asking us what our big rocks were..
then she prayed for me, too, that I WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO DO MY HOMEWORK SO I WON'T COPY :P
we slept at around 12 plus after cleaning up, supper and doing MATH!!!! all my math homework are done!
12th (the last day)
we went to the Dragonfruit farm..
it was really hot there but i had fun disturbing tessa with the creepy crawlies that were around..
the dargonfruit drink was refreshing too!
we had games after lunch in church..
we did 3 stations - the newspaper one, the borades(how you spell it?), and the one in the fourth floor extension hall.. we left out one cause there wasn't time, thanks to RESPECT who took up alot of time in the Borades station.
but so what?!
CONCERN is the overall winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
three cheers to us, million cheers to God!!
still trying to make Nicole do the actions at the last PRAISE AND WORSHIP session..
but nevermind, at least our group bonded..
i think i don't really dislike jeremiel after all..
he seems like a really nice kid now..
after the cleaning up, we were all really really tired..
but it was as amazing experience..
i think i'm starting to miss camp..
i learned how to serve by faith
trust in the LORD ALWAYS (literally)
to be careful with what i say
