"under heavy fire!" "immediate extraction required!" "reinforcements are on their way!" "RPG!!"... haha.... was damn funny... we even had the sound effects... haha... later, at about 1pm, there was a band performance, and axel was being crazy and dancing all over... haha... after that, we went back to the LT for AAR(after action review)... slept a bit through the debriefing... heheh... was damn tired... only had about 3 hours of sleep the last night. after the debriefing, took 31 with axel and dickson back home. reached home at about 3pm. used com for a while, then packed bag for confirmation camp later... at about 5.50pm, left with daddy for church. about 17 of us went. alexander, alexandria, jessica, angeline, sarah, rachel, venassa, lester, jonas, matthew, dominic, gabriel, anson, marianne, kathlyn, clement and me... in the night i did a short entry in my notebook...

1.25am. bored. others playing asshole taiti. wanna sleep soon. very tired. camp started at 6pm. came at about 6.10pm. left home at 5.50pm with daddy to take mrt to church. met mummy on the way. she drove us there. haha. came here, played icebreakers like pass the message(message something like: I went to Orchard to get my sis a pair of red heels, guitar lessons for my brother, a funky yellow belt for dad, a pair of new dentures for grandad, chicken rice for mum, and a facial appointment for sweet old granma, and on the way back, I stopped at Starbucks to buy myself an ice-blended vanilla mocha) and a game something like treasure hunt( the list was: a 20cm long hair, 2 curly leg hairs, 1 white hair, 1 red underwear, 1 metallic watch, a 5cent coin, a pair of smelly socks, 2 dry leaves and a pair of spectacles and there's also another item... i cant rmbr...).... we were split into 2 groups... i was the leader of the 2nd group. at about 6.40pm, had dinner. after dinner, we continued with the lessons, incorporated into some games. the game was about discipleship, where one guy had to blindfold him/herself and another guy had to lead the way. everybody else had to distract the other group. lesson was that there are many distractions around us, and that we should listen to the one inside of us, though sometimes it is not easy... after that, had a short break, then went back for the second session. some number game. lesson was about working in groups and that in life, we should always acknowledge the people that help us along the journey of life... at 10.45pm, went to 7-11 with the rest to get some food. bought hersheys cookies and cream chocolate and a chocolate and coffee drink. ate along the way back to church. started playing when we reached back. now bore liao... haha.

Saturday(25th nov)
woke up at 5.55am. the girls woke us up, even before my alarm went off... gabriel and lester said that i snored... haha... i didnt know that... i usually do not snore... haha... went to the toilet with lester where we bathed and brushed teeth. at 6.30am, went for morning mass. finished at 7am. had breakfast, then packed our stuff and left for changi. reached changi beach at about 9.30am. pitched tents, then had free time till 11am... we walked about a bit, exploring the place and finsing for bicycle shop... haha... but in the end couldnt find. so lazed around and played taiti till 11am. for the third session, we had to build a sand castle with a moat that had a constant water supply... group one built quite a nice castle, but didn't really had a constant water supply cos they built their castle to high on the beach and far from the sea. my group, however, built our castle near the sea, and dug a moat. and had an island with the castle on it. however, the island was crumblig and we were struggling to keep it standing. in the end, we had to take a quick picture with it and let the waves wash it away... haha... lesson was that we have to know the source before setting out... if, like group one, we had a strong foundation, but stagnant water, our water(faith) would soon dry up. however, if, like group two, we had a huge amount of water going in and out, but our foundation was weak, we would soon collapse. at about 11.40am, we walked to changi village to have lunch. had nasi lemak and sugar cane juice there. aunty daphne paid for us. walked back to campsite after lunch. rested a while, then played around. supposed to be volleyball, but nobody was very keen to play, so changed to captain's ball. we guys and gals played first. group 1 vs group 2. we narrowly lost. group one won 10-9. haha. after that, we played against the tchrs. was quite fun. we won. the tchrs said that our teamwork was quite coordinated and stuff... haha... cant rmbr the score. haha... after the games, it was damn windy and started to drizzle. our tents were almost being blown away, so we fastened our pegs and added new guylines. the girls' tents was almost flat on the group... haha... the wind was that strong. after getting the tents back to stable condition, went with dominic and gabriel to bathe. was damn hot and sticky. came back, then had fourth session at 4pm. we were all given cups and one person was given a spoon of salt. our objective was to spread the salt among all of us so that all of us had salty water. lesson was that we must spread our faith and stuff like that. finished at 4.40pm. was bored, rmbr-ed that i saw a bicycle shop in changi village, so went with venassa, gabriel and lester to rent bikes. was 2 bucks per hour. so we got 4 and started riding around. was damn fun. we rode past our campsite and explored the other side, till a construction site blocked our way. went quite near the airport. then, as we still had about 20 mins left, we went past changi village and went down near the aloha resorts... rode back, then started to cycle around changi viallge. returned the bike at about 5.55pm. walked back to camp site with a pain in a sensitive area. lester too... haha... the bike seats were so hard and is not shaped for a guy's butt. reached campsite at 6pm. started to have a bbq. halfway through the bbq, a family came and told us that they had booked that spot. found out that we had set up camp at wrong spot. haha.. but as we already ahd pitched our tents, we staill stayed there, but moved our pit and made a portable one. first we went to the beach to have the bbq, but they said cannot, so went back further to an empty bench to continue it. sat on the beach and ate. we ate in candlelight... so romantic... haha... was chatting with aunty frances( alexandria's mum) and lester and dominic.... topic turned to james bond and about how pierce brosnan was the best one... haha... after the bbq, we had the 5th session. the catechists were affirming us and reminiscing with us about when we first joined cathe class and stuff... after that, we took a walk along the beach, to a sand bar at the supposedly quietest part of changi beach. was stargazing and plane watching... haha... it was quite nice... loved that spot. we walked back after that. reached back at about 10pm. wanted to go bathe and brush teeth, but in the end only brushed teeth, cos got pple hogging the toilet and there was a long queue... went back, then started to play taiti on the beach using torchlight and candles... haha... at about 12am, went back to the tent to lie down a bit. next thing i knew, when i opened my eyes, it was 7am. haha...

Sunday(26th nov)
woke up at 8am, cos at 7am, saw the time, then rolled over and fell asleep again. found that everybody was packing liao, so went to bathe and brush teeth, then came back and packed up... left the campsite about 9am. went to changi village again to eat breakfast. had roti prata there. aunty daphne paid for us again. after breakfast, about 9.50am, we took the same bus as yesterday to the catholic church of the holy trinity. reached there early at 10.10am... mass starts at 11am. so waited on the bus at a nearby parking lot... at about 10.45am, went in, saw martin chew, ricardo and kenneth. was freezing in there. was cold. haha. after mass, went straight to the bus then went back to st mike's church. had a short break for lunch and toilets, then went in to the room for the sixth and last session. was a game about a grid, and we all had to go through it by the correct path. if we stepped on the wrong square, our tchr would ring a bell. lesson was that in life, there are many choices and crossroads that we face. if we went to a wrong path, we have to go back and try again. when we finally reached the end, we had to go bath along the same path and lead the whole group through the same path again. this was to show that once we had foound the right path, we would have to show other ppl the right way and help them through it... after the game, the tchrs put a piece of paper on our backs and we were supposed to write on each other our affirmations... when we finished, we had the prize giving for the winner group, as throughout the camp, there was a point system. group 2 won. we got some chocolates. group 1 also got some chocolates. after that, had a cake for venassa's birthday, we all ate the cake then said goobye. mummy and daddy picked me up on the way to fetch the dog to the animal hospital cos of his eye. they dropped me off home and left again. now listening to music and wishing that the camp lasted longer. IT WAS FUN FUN FUN!
