Church camp. was. simply. the. BOMB.
We started off the journey at 8.12am on Saturday. Listening to young adults and adults talk is just so hilarious. You'd be surprised! I won't go much into details la. Boring la details about car trips!Haha!
Reached bout 12.30pm. While waiting for the bus humans to arrive, Anthea decided to release the kid in us. Rocks. The place is really cool. Oh yeah!
Venue: Impiana Resort,Cherating,Pahang.(10 km away from Club Med!)
So, they had like a lot of facilities,most of them on sand. Bola jaring, Volleyball(a MUST!), an awesome swimming pool with a man-made waterfall,football sand field. Ping pong tables( not on the sand laaa) and a gym. What else?They had a mini playground!
Now you can pretty much imagine a small monkey with braces running wildly in the playground. There were like ladders hagning from the trees ALL over the place. I climbed until I had difficulties coming down. LOL.
POP QUIZ!
What goes up and can't come down?
Answer: Liesl climbing a ladder hung down from a tree.
*Psst..Thank you Anthea for helping me get down:P
It isn't as easy as it looks. Trust me. it isn't nice to see your "hosts" at the top of the ladder. Iiern can agree with me on that. He was greeted by red exoskeletoned 6 legged creatures. Haha.so pandai.
Okay,skip the boring parts.Moving on...
The bus people arrived. 3 hours later in fact. Rules..oops,lemme rephrase that, "core values" were clarified by the camp commando, Uncle Doug! Then, telematches began. 5 hard core mini games. Lemme tell you guys this,it doesnt only take brauns to do physical telematches,but also brains. Uncle Wooi Meng,the Physics experteh, really helped a lot during the "Highway" game.
After the whole tiring 1 1/2 hours of running,spinning,duck walking,building,cheering,eating(YES,EATING!), we had free time.
The older males with some "exceptionals" were playing Volleyball.
Some,were playing "Penguin". (?!?!)
The kids?They were swimming.
Us youths were playing frisbee,in the pool.
Me?I was trying to Cwalk in water:P And the audience goes *roll eyes*. Haha. I was also trying to handstand underwater,but instead I did a summersault. Whoops.
Ken was trying to shuffle. And the audience goes *roll eyes and shakes head*
At night,sermon was good. I took down loads of notes. More to reflect during QT:)
We ended the night with Twister. Yes, the one with the polka dotted mat.
Jian Lin,you're really one flexible dudette. Oh yeah!I met Jian Lin!
Jian Eu,she SOOOOO looks like you, except with longer hair and cuter too!I still can't believe she's 12.
Next day?
Quite relaxing.
Woke up at 6.30 am for the usual 6 am session. The dudes went "Sea Walking" while me and lucas and kelvin played frisbee a while. Then QT. Had a good chat with God:)
Breakfast?Good meals I'm telling you.(*Psst the guys are total FA-T-T-I-E-S,they couldn't help themselves from the buffet!*)
Praise and worship was awesome. It was so oomph-ing! Sermon,once again was good. Debatable points,well some of them only la but all was good. Lunch was a horrible *wet* experience. I nearly drowned thanks to Ken and Jian eu. Geniuses.
Let's rewind to the scene.
"Shandong Groundnuts,Kacang Shandong.."
Iiern: 1
Ken and Liesl: 2!
So we both had to drink half a cup of water. Ugh,so full after that. So Ken drank first and it was my turn to drink.
Liesl:*drinks*
Ken and Jian: Peanuts!
Liesl:*spits out water while choking*
Dum.
Then,free time. Couldn't go into the pool or beach. So guys went to play Water Polo while Kee Ken, Lucas and I made sand balls. Eventually,the sand ball fight started between us and Simon/Iishan. Hectic. Then were later joined by the rest. Dug holes in the beach and buried Judson/Simon/Iishan/Sam/Kee Ken's feet under the sand. Quite deep. didn't know how in the world they got out. Haha.
The Funny thing?
Sam couldn't get out if Simon couldn't.
Why?
Because Simon's foot was on Sam's.
After,played a little volleyball. See,studying PJK DOES come in handy:)
Then,my mind blanked out and I forgot what I did.
No seriously,I dont remember until Fun Night.
List of Characters: (As far as I can rmb)
Arjund- Civillian
Sam- Hermes (from the Hercules movie)
Jian Eu and Iiern - Frodo and Sam (Lord of the Rings)
Me - Aqua Girl.(Fictionize character)
Ken Ming - Phantom (Phantom of the Opera)

We had to present impromptu skits on the spot based on the lines given and the situation.
My group( Snapper!) had a damsel in distress scene. I stoned on stage. Please la,I wasn't the damsel. I was an evil henchmen along side Lokkie and Jordan,the main man Villian.
My lines?
"Dont hurt me!!"
"Wanna go scam some chicks?"
Though,I really laughed at Keegan's line which was
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"
What were the odds of an American with a rich American accent getting that line.
After the whole night of laughter,it was time to sleep.Zzzz.
Pfft.
At the last night of camp,there's no such thing as sleep. Only naps are allowed on such occassions:P
So we talked and played "Truth or Dare". well,in other words, more like"Tell or Die"..Haha,i'm kidding!We played only truth because well, it wouldnt be pretty if your neighbours come by your room and telling you to stop jumping around the rooms like monkeys and esp during the wee hours of morning.
I took a look before going to bed.
3.35am
Good morning,Cherating.
The following day..
*Grunt grunt.. All the little piggies rolling in bed..
Since we ended so late,we were ALL zombified except Ken Ming who is and was always hyped up. Crazy shuffler.
Worship and the last session was good,as usual. I really think that the sermons during this camp were really good. Maybe because of the fact that he's like a youth speaker. I guess it's easier for us to understand:)
Soon,it was time to say..
"Hey,it feels like we just arrived here 5 minutes ago."
Yeap,don't we all wish that before we bid adieu to everyone.
Guess what else we always say before we bid adieu?
"Tomorrow got schoool/work!!!"
*Snort..
