alpha camp's over

well well well...these three days passed so super quickly..alpha camp is already over le :( gotta wait another year..well, must say that througout this camp, saw the work of God even thru very very small things, and feels very blessed and very thankful to be part of my group, Maisha. I think the one thing that makes this camp so much more meaningful to me is cos Christina came for this camp too, and i felt that at so many points of the camp,e message brought across was really so apt loh. still remb e day i asked her to go for camp, was expecting a no, but somehow, she almost readily agreed. along e way, before e camp, of course there were times when she was kinda worried bout it..but i think you're really very bang le. if i were u, think i wont even dare to go for a friend's camp like this. but really really very thankful that u took e effort to even come.more than that, so happy to see u also enjoying urself in e camp, enjoying the friendship. dunno...jus feel so touched and happy.

first time as group leader in camp (as compared to agnes's 5th time :p)..was worried at first, but somehow, maybe cos of the dread of e a levels, all e while i've been looking forward to this camp. As for e camp itself, oso, really really blessed to haf a group such as ours..i think i didnt notice it myself first, but many ppl did tell us that we were really enthu as a group, which i think is the most impt part. we had fun, we gave it our all, we bonded. different ppl from diff backgrounds, diff personalities, but we had fun together. tiring, but satisfying.

preparation for talentnite, e part which i dreaded e most. but well, it wasnt so bad, and i think personally, at that point of the camp, i was past hoping our group to top e competition and shine and all..but instead, told myself that wat's impt is really not all those stuff, but e experiences and e time we spend together. after e performance, didnt think much of it too, was preparing myself for a 6th or 7th place, cos the other groups were so super good. well, results turned out otherwise. our group actually got first. to me, these results are just wow wow wow wow and wow. couldnt believe it loh. of cos i'm not saying that only if we get such results would we then deem our group as a success. but i think at that time, personally, i really needed that bit of self affirmation. it came at just the right time. was greatly encouraged.

in this camp, was also very very thankful that enlin came back for e camp, and i must say taht it was great when 5 of us jus chatted tog. christina definitely havent known all of u for long, and enlin has also not been back for sometime. somehow, tho, we could jsut sit tog and tok..which i thot was really beautiful. happy to just see ur faces around in camp, and to know that at the end of e day, no matter how tired we were, we'll be stoning together, whining as we had to take a bath before we sleep no matter how tired we were, going together to the toilets and bathing wif the inadequate resources we had and finally falling asleep next to each other. thanx for being a great part of my memories of this camp, all four of u, christina, agnes, xinyi and enlin. *big hug!!*

and to xinyi and agnes, remb next time when we go for camp, we must keep up e tradition of bathing wif e pathetic water hose at least once k! promise! :)

enjoyed camp. feels blessed. to also know that you're always there. thanx. :)
