With Christ in the vessel

Sec. One Orientation Camp! Riding the waves together.
It was in God's plan that the camp was a success. It was also His plan that the SLs and PBs got to know each other much better, and bond, really really bond. If not for the SLs who planned out every detail of the camp programme, all the campers and us wouldn't have enjoyed ourselves.
Sleeping very early (late) and waking up early as a group, in the hall, which air-con was exxxxtremely cold, was an experience.
Like many have emphasised, it's really about leaving a legacy behind, and impact on the sec ones. Our PBs/SLs (when we were sec one) did. I remember wanting to have the same experience they went through - seeing how bonded and close they were, how enthusiastic they were despite being very tired - and today we have experienced it. It's all in God's timing.
I really want to thank the camp comm (Benn, Becky, Anna, Claudia, Wan Ning etc), and all the effort and work they've put in 'cos the camp was good! (Even though campfire wasn't so MG :( )
Worship was great.
With Christ in the vessel,
we can smile at the storm, smile at the storm, smile at the storm,
with Christ in the vessel
we can smile at the storm
as we go sailing home.
Sailing, sailing home x2
With Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm
as we go sailing home!
All in all, it was good. I love how much we bonded, the fun we had together, and getting to know the juniors, and getting to know some (Hint, hint!) better.
Here's a big thank you to RACHEL CHAN and CHLOE LIM for being my bodyguards!
And Gillian Chan for being so enthu
And HIROMI OCHI for being my favourite arch enemy(M)OCHI! :)
And MAEGHAN Lee for being the happy person, with a unique name. (I will name my daughter Maeghan and my son Jayden - yay!)
And Amadea who can amazingly write a script in 10 minutes.
You know, Elan has a fanclub in her OG!
God has given me the most amazing friends ever - always supporting me in whatever I do, when I'm down, when I'm irritated, when I'm happy, when I'm high - I just have to really thank God for that. Shar, Laura, Faye, Angie, Nyam, AnnaBelle, Gail etc. - thank you guys so much for making camp so enjoyable! :D
Best friend (Gerou) who's always there for me - always being so adorable and cute, with her normal high-pitched nasal voice, giving a smile whenever possible that just brightens up my day. Sherri, whom I'm always reminded of of batteries (Red&Black gummies!), who leaves long encouraging messages on MSN, updates on life and just anything she identifies with.
Friends are what makes life more enjoyable, accompanied with sleep (yeah! exactly what I'm going to do) and God's Way.
Mum fetched me home today, and got me lunch at macs drive-thru 'cos my bag was big/heavy! I missed her a lot :(
The carpets in the bedrooms are being removed, and parquet is replacing it. It's both good and bad I guess - no more comfortable ground, but it'll definitely be cleaner because there's lots of bacteria in it, after 17 years :P
I got a shock when I got home because I had no idea the workers were coming today, and it was sad, I didn't get to say bye-bye to my room's carpet :( It was nice having it around all my life! Also because of this, Nai Nai's back is hurting so much again, 'cos they had to move the cupboards, beds, my VERY HEAVY shelves, study table etc and I feel so bad to have not been around to help. Anyway, the house stinks of thinner/wood varnish and it has taken its toll on my nose and eyes. Since there's only one room available in the house now, Dad and Aunt Kaylee had to go over to Bedok to stay overnight. I was just whining awhile ago because I just got back today, and they aren't here to accompany me.
Childish indeed, but I got quite homesick okay, though I'm quite used to camps already.
Okay, I should start on some work and sleep. Yay.
