Okay, so its been a long long time since I've blog.
Suprisingly, the days have gone by so quickly, only a couple of weeks left before the New Year. Plenty of events....grad. ball, 4/7 chalet, 2/4 chalet, church camp.....yeh. It's left me way exhausted (at least for today).

Start with the 3D2N of chalet and church camp "combined", since i could not sign up for full time [need parent's consent], and also in part since i paid the deposit for the chalet already [perfect justification for the use of 'deposits']

So the chalet was at Coasta Sands resort this time, much nearer to downtown east compared to Aloha Loyang. Anyway, only went for first day, and it was a case of deja vu. We all [and not was actually not many] rented double bikes for 2hrs and it rained about 10mins later. I was cycling with James Lee, and credit to him, it was so difficult to cycle in the rain with the water and wind catching u right in the eye, but he was able to navigate pretty well. We cycled fast, slow as well, and made so many 360-deg turns which didn't work out and ended up having to take a long loop round the grass. Fortunately we were lucky not to crash after running over many branches and roots. It was cold indeed with us all wet and the wind. After that the girls took a LONG time to bathe [and it was only liike...6 of them?] and we went out for dinner. Then watched this 'girls aloud' show which had xiaxue in it, was totally stupid and NOT useful at all, haha. After that was talking and playing cards all night long, and most of the morning too. Woke at 7, headed off at 8. Very sleepy, and had to get my dose of coffee to keep alive for the rest of the day.

And so I took the mrt all the way from PR to Woodlands, changing at City Hall. The NS line going away from the city was not crowded one bit, and thus i had plenty of space to sleep, which i duly managed to, haha.

The camp at Sports School was great. The auditorium was gigantic and a very good place for all the sermons and praise/worship sessions to be held, although sitting down on the ground was a lil uncomfortable, not that i'm complaining here. Think the first sermon session right after I came was the most enlightening, about not giving in to obstacles between us and Him, and persevering on. Pity that part-timers don't get the Breakthrough shoe bag package, but I'm gonna borrow one copy of the book ASAP. Felt a little sleepy, but that was cured by the salt and vinegar chips, haha. Then after lunch which was OK, had a meeting regarding JC ministry. it's gonna be exciting I'm sure, our next 2 years at JC. But yeah, rightfully said, gotta do our best even during the first 1.5 month or so. Zero JC2s at R now, so, it will be difficult but I guess I've got to give my best next year.

Then after wash-up and rest, it was time for mismatch picnic which I didn't know of, oh well, guess at least I needn't have worried about how i looked, haha. The dinner was good, and the performances and thanks later were better, though it was kind of unusual that it wasn't the 'finale item' of the camp, with sermon still to come later! And it was another long one by David, mostly composing of testimonies. Well, guess it's a refreshing change from the usual sermons at services, yeah, although I was getting kind of sleepy.

The midnight concert was great, and really repented some of my sins recently during worship time, as well as strengthening my resolve towards Him. The songs were all good, and I enjoyed the praise part too with high spirits!

On wednesday, rather amazingly Northeast managed to win the olympics and that big trophy, lol. [heard from quite a few people that NE are pushovers and James even said many other districts wanted to thrash us at some sports, in good spirit of course, haha]. Well, it wasn't particularly 'us', cause I wasn't able to take part in it, but hopefully there'll be a next time to take part, and there'll be a next time to win again.

Well, I'll pause here for now, hopefully there'll be more promising stuff to write about after street outreaching tmr.
