CC1 camp '

CC1 camp was amazing. 

Speaking frankly, I was kind of hesitant and reluctant to go because there were many things holding me back to go to this camp. However, because of that one time, I happen to sit beside this sec 1 girl (and got to know her) during mass and I've heard her rattling non-stop, I've decided that I could help to get this year sec 1s to get to know god better. 

Yes, even though 4 days were spent on facilitating the teens, instead of studying, I must gladly say... I didn't regret to come for this year's CC1 camp. I'm very sure that what I've learnt and done during this camp can never be compared to guides camp at all. During guides camp everyone were just horrible seniors doing nothing during camp and not even giving our 100%. If we really care, juniors first. 

day 1:

As the teens reached the STC, I panicked. Part of me was really afraid that my group members wouldn't open up. However, I decided to make the best out of it, to come out of my comfort zone and take the step forward to let them know jesus. So the sessions went really well and I'm really glad that by the end of the day my group members went from "I need my phone badly..." to not even mentioning everything about phone. You do know if you give 100%, got will give you 200%. I've experienced it in many ways before. Besides through day 1, I've learnt to be able to open myself up to the teens and learnt to step out of  my comfort zone to push and prompt them further and for them to answer the questions deeply and all. Also, not only that, I've learnt to make eye contact while sharing and make the first step to share so that the teens will be able to share. Stepping out of my comfort zone was certainly not easy for me because I seldom step out of my comfort zone and share deeper about my life. And I've learnt that hey, I'm not that bad at prompting people. Well, even though I realised I was slightly too friendly with the teens will they may not listen to me during the activities. 

Day 2:

Up and awake, being really hyper, considering the lack of sleep I have, I managed to be really hyperactive and then it was amazing race at west coast park to find JESUS!!! So we went around west coast park and played games with my teens guiding them along. Well, the whole day went really well even though it was tiring because I slept so little and having to keep my energy up for the whole day.

Still, I had a lot of fun with my group members and some how telling jokes and making each other high and everything. Also, the trust fall thing was really heartwarming. Standing on the chair and falling while their classmates catch them. Showed that they really trust their class in supporting them and catching them when they fall. The last game was the pegs where girls have to snatch pegs from the boys. HAHA. It was an interesting and wonderful sight.  Well, spent the night writing warm fuzzies to the teens and reflections and slept around 2am-3am. Yup. Learnt to be more responsible and I learnt that I must not let my guard down especially when everyone is really hyper and all. After that was mass where Father emmanuel came to celebrate for us and I do love his style. And then followed by praise and worship. Its been 3 months since my last praise and worship. 

Day 3:

Clear up and a time of sharing and reflection...

Haha, I'm probably missing the teens now. Now that I'm on the giving end, I really have to give myself 100% and commit myself 100%. I've learnt many things about myself and I'm aware that I'm very blunt with my words and everything. Not only that, I know that god is with me, everywhere I go and he is in each and everyone of my friends.

Well, I hope that the teens enjoyed themselves and learnt more about God.

Took me really long to type this post because I fell asleep halfway while typing day 2. incoherent paragraph.... :[

Feeling tired now and I'm going to sleep after I eat dinner. k. bye. 

FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!

What I've been doing for the past few days: PLAY. 

Kidding. I'm gonna do the Monday:....thing. 

Monday: 

Met Michelle to study and I swear she is one of the greatest jokers alive in this world. Though we were quite productive but I kinda wasted a bit of my life... fixing heYeahr stupid earpiece. That was pretty funny...

1) she was unable to take out the plastic from the box. I had to help her. 

2) she was unable to remove the box. I had to help her. 

3) she was unable to fit the soft ear thing into the earpiece. I fixed one side for her. Then she couldn't do the other side. So I had to fix it for her too!

That was so funny at that point in time and I couldn't stop laughing. Did amath, physics and history. Okay la, not bad.. wait till Tuesday..

Tuesday: 

Somehow... went to Michelle's house to study and I swear that was hell funny. Because we played 8 rounds of mario kart and out of 8 I only won 2. HAHA if I play with Xenia/Sharlene it would be like at least 5/8 or something. Anyway then we watched home alone 1,2 and enchanted. Had a fun time laughing at the boy in home alone. He is so cute trying to capture the bandits.

Yes and all I did was a bit of amath and nothing else before heading home... 

Wednesday:

Kim, Mich and I were supposed to go cycling at east coast park but the weather was so bad. And haha the night before at 1am Mich and I panicked because we don't have a wet weather plan!!!! So we discussed that we will go to mich's house to play and quickly text the almighty kim who slept so early. Well.. it was because I was reading my book thats why I was awake at 1am plus. Whatever. So we decided to go with wet weather plan in the morning with messages at 7am. HAHA. It drizzled anyway.. we can't cycle. :(

So we played a bit of basketball first in the morning before heading to buy cold soya beancurd which I found out kim also love eating that! then off to chua's house and lala played guitar hero which kim and I were really bad at. And then luckily I have my guitar so I never ever die in guitar hero because I could kinda figure out the chords here and there. But I died like crazy when I used the button guitar thing. or the 'drums' which apparently if kim and I play.. we die like mad. 

Well after that we head down for lunch. Then we went up and watched home alone 3. Which we spent half the time laughing while I actually spent the time nua-ing on the sofa. It was so comfortable. Well, but I watched the whole thing a little lost because I was reading book. But it was so funny as well. The boy is so intelligent.. If only I have a little of his smartness or something..

After that, we headed to AMK hub to watch snowwhite and the huntsman with JiaYi and Cheryl and the movie was pretty good and I guess the queen acted really well.. And she is quite pretty anyway. I guess? HAHA. Yepp thats all about it. 

Thursday:

Studied with kim and mich and played cheat which I'm still very bad. I can't cheat for nuts!!! Its so funny when the pile have like don't know how many 7s and we all start to suspect each other lie/cheat but all don't dare to catch each other. Well, memorised SS, chem and did physics. yeah, reached home really really late. 

Well, today is day 0 for sec 1 camp so I'm gonna disappear for a pretty long time.

Btw, Wattpad is amazing. HAHAHA. 

WATTPADDDDDD

Okay, I officially declare that I've gone insane.
I've been reading stories after stories, books after books, fan fiction after fan fiction for the past day. -__-
Well, and it is not fault for entering into this. Its just too addictive. Like whenever I scroll past my homepage/apps list there is "hey you! click me click me! you have an unfinished book!! finish it!!"
So I just clicked on it and I ended up reading and reading non-stop you can't blame them for being so overly addictive.
Besides I'm yawning my ass off now. I slept at 2am last night because I was reading a book in wattpad, in the dark. I'm so grateful that I can adjust the lighting for the night! which makes the whole thing even more perfect where I continue to read. Goodness.
Call me insane but I think I have to stop at some point because I have to start studying! And suddenly studying don't look attractive to me at all! :(
Shit and I'm feeling really tired now :(

Jubilate IX

Ha! Jubilate IX is over.. Just yesterday, and I must say that it was amazing.
Had a good time making comments (basically I can't really keep them to myself). And don't worry, they're definitely not insulting comments! Not only that, "pedoing" on the cat high primary dance boys. Well, it wasn't my fault. The whole theatre was like "So cute!!!" HAHAHA!!
Oh and not to forget all the st Nicks Primary performance. Well, basically the whole thing was pretty good! Even the seats! 2nd row!! With lizzie's head blocking me but never mind! :P
Well, its a night worth to remember. Next up: confirmation... prom.

Took many many more pictures but I'm too lazy to upload HAHA. 

At this point in time, I really feel like getting a DSLR or I should have brought my mum's cam out! ah! the quality is really bad!

... ... ... ...

I've been at a funeral for the past I think 5 days...
And its pretty much my first time being at a funeral different from a catholic one and its also my first time attending one from the start to the end.
So my grandmother had passed away while I was taking my chinese Olevel paper. And I guess I should dedicate a short blogpost to her and my experience at the funeral.
Even though I'm not really close to her, but I will still remember her really constant nagging. I mean, really. Every time when I visit her, she tells me in chinese/dialect that I've to lose weight and don't stare at my phone too much. Occasionally slipping $10 into my hands while talking to my parents. Yes that is my grandmother. I'm really grateful to her and I'm pretty sure she wants me to EAT LESS. Haha, that was what she told me like ever since I was young.
I went down on the first night of the funeral.. well, didn't expect much was kind of overwhelmed with emotions when the body was brought in and we all had to call what we usually call her. And then after that followed by prayer in which I followed. Well, then for the subsequent days, I had to travel all the way to CCK by train and on the train... 1) I lose balance and fall 2) I eat read book until I forget the stop. WTH. 3) I can't get into the train. I mean what in the ridiculous world is this.
Thats not the point, I learnt how to go to my Grandma's house by myself!!!! Bus 300, 4 stops lalala. So on the last day which was the day that was most emotional.. Well, a morning of prayers and I followed along before walking barefooted following the van out. We then reached Lim chu kang (??) we got on the bus halfway, didn't walk all the way though.. And then as we all watched the body go in to burn.. which is where everyone broke down and start crying (including me)... that was really uhm, sad..
Yepp, thats basically the end.
