Just came back from the most amazing camp experience ever :) My first time living in tents, sleeping with the bugs, running across Singapore with 10kg bags, dealing with bees, watching guys run away from bees, building rafts... :) Day 1 was about the nomadic race. Carrying 10kg bags running around Singapore... I SWEAR I ALMOST DIED.




Imagined my face when I found out we had to climb fort canning park):Randome person:"Omg got monkey there!!!"
Me: "Where's the monkey? I don't see it): "
Enoch: "There! -points at me-"

Day 2 was water rafting and trekking (which I didn’t go for cause of my injury). Rafting was interesting - The bees were super scary though. Must thank God for my groupmates who accepted that I completely didn’t know how to tie the ropes for the raft and was hence useless. (:
Our wonderful raft!!! I contributed with eye power(:
I remember day 2 for the night. The 3rd best part of the night was saying interesting stuff about ourselves and playing Shoot Shag Marry with my group hahahahahaha. Hilarious bunch of players~ (: The 2nd best part came when the few of us girls invaded the boys’ toilet because our water supply had a glitch. :) So picture a scene of topless boys in sarongs running around in fear and the girls trying to look un-pathetic. It was fun though. Yasmeen’s “8 girls in bikini in the open shower guyssss” made me laugh like shit while bathing, hahaha. :)Oh the best part was with my midnight party gang. Ghost stories, I have, I have never, Shoot Shag Marry (: Made so many new friends, heard confessions, confessed. “I have never had a girl crush before.” “I have never survived on two wheels for more than 2 minutes before.” HAHAH the confessions that led to utter disbelief(: Even though we slept for only 1.5 hours that night and totally K.O-ed on the bus back to customs.. It was definitely a night worth remembering :)
I learnt a lot from this camp, definitely. I thought it was going to be just another camp where I'd make new friends, new leadership skills, gain new experiences and memories. All these were a large part of the physical part of the camp, but there was so much more - The leadership skills, the passions, the different viewpoints..
The one thing I never thought I'd gain from this camp was a spirit for TJC... A passion that has died for 7 years, waiting to be rekindled. I can feel my life getting better in TJ, I can feel the spirit coming back. I can't believe it, but I guess TJ had increased its importance in my heart. One day this passion might die down, but at least for now I'll remember that my heart was truly touched by Yong En's speech. (:
I miss camp :/
and you.
