con. camp

30 minutes later, i was on the bus. I kept worrying that I will be late cos I did not have a watch to confirm.

When I reached the church, I sensed that something was wrong. IT was silent. There was no noise, no movement, no one. I went to the parish office to inquire. I met father Gerard and realize that I was supposed to go to Sembawang challenge camp directly! Almost died. I took a cab there. It exhausted all my funds. I was almost late.

What a nice warm up before the camp.

After registration, they divide us into groups. They screwed it up a little. My name was called twice, in two different groups. In the end, I was pushed into pineapple’s group cos they have a lesser amount of people.

After that, they show us an ‘Oscar’ winning video. Here are my comments for that video and the rest of the videos that are shown in the camp. I think that thy put in a lot of effort in making the videos. The content was good.

However, technically, it is not so good. They made two unforgivable mistakes which is commonly made in many home made videos.

1) Poor audio. They should record the video and sound separately.
2) Very weird, MOVING, camera angles. It made the video very messy. Good neat videos are filled with fixed, still camera angles. Moving camera angles should not be attempted unless the camera can be moved in a uniform speed.

The ice breakers was interesting, I think that my group is good. There was a bit of communication between group members. I will rate them 3/5. It was OK while we were working on the task. It was fun when we opened numbers to decide who to do stuff. But outside that, it was crap. The girls talk among themselves and the guys were stoning. We only communicated while working on a task.

During bedtime, it was not easy to sleep. I did not sleep as early as I seem. Actually, I was only pretending to be asleep when they turned the fan to their side cos I hate the cold. I want to sleep so I had to focus on something. I was deciding which world I should go to. (The main worlds in my mind are: Philosophy world, Science world, Manga world, Crush world and reality) I decided that I shall venture into the crush world tonight. Hmm… What will happen if she is in my group? I pondered as I slowly melt into dreamland.

The morning PT was pathetic. My arms are really itchy, I want to do push ups. I want to run. Ahh!!! I was ready to show my power but they give us such a pathetic PT. Dam them.

The sessions after that were really interesting. The session Mr. Apple took was fun. It was about doing something (Anything) to kill time. It is fun.

The most interesting session was Father Gerard’s Session about Sin, Life, Death and the apocalypse. I was really interested as they are the main topics in my philosophy world. I paid attention to this session.

Writing warm fuzzies was OK, except the special one for Ms Mangosteen. I had a headache while thinking. Should I even write at all? What should I write? Then, I remembered a certain recount Mr. Apple told us. It was about him and his wife. I decided to use a certain phrase in that recount to my advantage.

That night we had reconciliation. It was the best reconciliation I ever had. I spent all the time reflecting carefully. I even confessed my darkest sins. I felt really great after saying them out loud. It was really good.

During bedtime, I ventured into philosophy world. What are elements are greater than death? (God, life, love, happiness, memory, love…) However, thinking of those require a lot of RAM, I will not be able to sleep if I kept thinking of those stuff. In the end, I slept thinking which world should I switch to.

I woke up at 6+, close to 7am. I decided that I should not sleep anymore as I should have sometime to warm up before they wake everybody up. So I set on my bed for a long long time. After that I went to wash up. I expect everyone to wake up when I returned. However, I came back and still find everyone sleeping. So I sat on my bed and think of possibilities (obviously something is wrong), reflect on the past few days, spin my pen, worrying what will happen after Ms Mangosteen read the special fuzzy…

They finally decided to wake everyone up at 9.00am. This means I sat on my bed for two hours! I found out that wake us up so late cos a tragedy happened last night while I was sleeping. Many people woke up but I was sleeping like a pig, thus I do not know anything until then.

After that we prayed for the people who are hurt in the tragedy and wrote get well cards.

The collection of warm fuzzies was interesting. I have a nice number of warm fuzzies. I wanted to vanish on the spot when I saw Ms Mangosteen reading her warm fuzzies. I think I am pathetic. AHHH!

After that we had mass.

The end.

I think this post is rather brief. If i go into details, it will be x2 this length
