Camp Update!

Hahaha. Well, 'Camps' Update, I should say.

KOOL Camp:

Honestly, I didn't exactly know what to expect. I never expected having to look after 21 kids with only two other helpers(who did an awesome job, by the way, thanks Carol and Dan =)), that was for sure. I never expected to endure so much confusion just because of sleeping quarters, nor did I expect to lose my voice just after a day and a half of shouting. But I love my Rubies all the same =).

Ya'll are definitely precious in the eyes of God, no matter what.

So, Stephen said something which struck me as pretty sensible; the team takes on its leader's personality. No wonder my kids tend to be the blurrest ever. And the cutest too. =P HAHA. But my kids really were cute. And hilarious. Oh goodness, their antics are too crazy sometimes. We had really amazing kids in that big bunch of kids, and I'll always have a heart for the kids, if nothing else.

This year was a pretty hectic year, but somehow one of my kids would do or say something and it'll just make me feel glad that I joined the camp in the first place. They're just so darn cute! EEHH! >.< HAHA.

Especially when they had stage fright. Hahaha. Gosh, I'd never forget the look on their faces then too. I scarcely remember looking like that so many years ago. Man. I feel old. At least some didn't even know how old I was until the others who knew told them. Heheheeheh. =P

I'm glad some of them decided to be serious though, and rededicate themselves again. =)

All in all, KOOL Camp was awesome. I hope I get to see some of them in KOOL in the near future. =)

Youth Camp:

'Twas epic. Awesome is SO overrated. Gosh. I hated that I felt crappy a lot of the time due to my fever and such, but I still had an amazing time with my Slate members. We're a crazy bunch of people, ain't we? Especially during Captain Ball ;) Hehehehe. I'm still stoked I got to play half a game! HAHA. =P AND we WON for that round! WOOTS!

Anyways. Hehe. I actually liked being in church for camp. It actually felt like an extended version of YDM. Seriously. And we had loads of time to kill so we just spent it building relationships and laughing at nonsensical stuff. And I have to say this; Ehi, you're one crazy Nigerian. I think I nearly had stomach cramps just laughing at you. And your weirdly legendary celebrity bash. HAHAHA. That, I won't so easily forget. Like the rest of my girls. Rachie, for helping me loads when I couldn't make it, Cherrie, Gaby, Nisha, Yen, Mich Wong and Blessy the Bum (=P) for just being there and being stupendous Slate members. Sheng, though we were blur all the time (well, most, anyway =P) and Shan Wee, who kept pointing out how sick I looked, no doubt out of concern =P mehehehe, we still epic together. =D

Thanks SOOOO much for all those who wished me well, I love ya'll for your concern =') Truly made me feel better inside, as corny and sappy as it sounds. Really. =)

Overall, Solid Rock Camp 2010 was a legendary experience, and I'm glad I stayed on for the ride with you epic peeps.

To YDM. To Jesus. =)

Appropriate title, Miss Shie. =P

Thanks, woman. =)

As you can see, I'm still an illiterate when it comes to technology, and a sick one at that. Gah. Non-stop camps and a pretty low immune system might be the cause of that, but ah well. At least I get to skip school, though I don't intend to carry out the doctor's order of four days off; who knows just how much I'm going to miss?!

Rights; I sound like a nerd. Ah well. Can't be helped. Speaking of which; my classmates SHOULD be getting back to me soon....

Meh. So. Life in PTEK is, well, a bit of a whirlwind. I mean, I haven't exactly created my niche yet, and I admit, I eat meals alone sometimes (most times, if I bothered to eat at all) but I talk. I try not to close up. I smile. I fix my wayward tudong. I participate in class discussion (well, some classes; Math doesn't really count =P) and I joke with my classmates. Alright, so not all of my classmates, but it's a start. A pretty good one, if I may say so. The people aren't the same as the ones in MS, but I guess they can't help it.

The buildings are... a bit confusing at first. All buildings are, really. Like, if the C Block is to the right, why is the E Block next to it? And all that stuff. I'm glad my classes aren't too far away from each other, though. Hahaha. One blessing, amongst a few others, I guess. =)

My teachers are.... Well, for some reason, all of them tend to be eccentric. Really. Like, they're weird in their own ways. I have a Math teacher with a rather stilted accent (no offence, Sir), an EAS and ELT Tutor who keeps going on about South Africa and a Socio teacher who seems to vehemently disapprove of gayness. Ah well. They're funny. =D

I like my subjects. I'm neutral with Math. =P But I like the rest of them. They actually make me WANT to study and research on stuff and basically, I'd choose writing essays over calculating equations any day. ;)

All in all, it's looking a bit rocky, but no storms ever stopped Him; why should a few waves scare me?
