church campo 09

ok wait i forgot to add something into the previous post abt x-man, the movie wasn't that great but what was really fun is the thrill of 'race speeding' in a trolley cart. yeap ken the man, a crazy man, was my engine, i set in the cart and he pushed away, making corner drifts and occasionally ramming me into a wall. well one reason why we could do this is because the movie ended really late at night, like 12+ so the whole 1U was empty, just like in zombie shows. well it wouldn't be fair if only i had the chance to have fun, so we swapped roles, now with ken inside man was it hard to start, control and stop. as we (form 4's) have learnt in physics: the bigger the mass, the greater the inertia. =P but yeap, every floor we went next, even the parking lot, there was an empty trolley cart, God blessed? yew meng just watched us have fun from a distance. =D

i hope you have not be bored by reading that one paragraph, i'm sorta in the mood to type alot of words today (must be because i didn't use the computer for a long long time) so now abt church camp, i't was great, awesome. one word to describe it would be: cold ... heh heh jk. it was good la, except for the powerpoint lyrics of the songs part =P so details abt it below:

day1 friday
so you see, i just came back from the jps camp yesterday. with tiredness had to wake up and go to skool for teachers day. yes i had the choice to make, and that was to forfeit rest in bed and go to skool. 1st up telematch. yeah in KBS! the red shirt people. mmhmm we had fun alright, we even had some M teachers in our group =D and we played really well. sadly as it is how the way the world flows according to rules set by man, the olahraga team always gets first... no matter what... like seriously, and cf didn't win top 3 =( well the most import is that we had f-u-n, and congrats to scouts who got 3rd.

after watching the 'wonderful' performances in the hall by extremely talented students, pack up the place and the ciowed to the scouts den for a meeting, which i didn't really attended, because i went off 3 minutes after i went in, i had to be home by 1pm, for the journey to frasers!

so yeap that was the morning, now for the real thing. this is where stuff abt camp starts... sorta. see we packed up the big-car-with-small-engin advanza with our bags, 5 of us humans in the car, my dad, mom, grandma, bro, jiaming and i. man does the advanza have alot of boot space IF you can fold up the back seats. and before we left, we said a prayer, may God bless our journey, keep us safe as well as guard the house =D

and off we go, took around 1 n a half hours. the sad thing is that when we reached there, we were 5 minutes too late and the gate was closed! (let me explain) fyi- the road up to frasers hill is... narrow. so at certain hours it is a one way traffic, either going up or coming down. they flow of traffic follows a sort of schedule, odd hours for going up and even hours for coming down. and so we came at 3.50! what we didn't know is that the gate closes at 3.40 ... owh well.. so we just waited until 5pm when the gate opened again.

arrived, checked in. gosh i remember this place. i came here when i was young. it used to be much colder then. and yeah set up the PA system went to check out rooms and all, ect. by 6pm- dinner time most people's park's people had arrived. the skill of eating used for this camp. take small portions of food, half or one scoop each, including rice, don't take more than two full spoons. yes it is quite little, but then u'l know which food is really good cause you get to try em all. and then go for the second round! splunking the plate with the best and tastiest food there is! for this nights meal, the beef was aweeesome... even if ppl did complain it was as tough as chewing gum, i loved it... chew chew chew... sat outside in the balcony enjoying the nights cool breeze while munching err..devouring down. the food was okok la, cant compeat with 1st place holder jeram besu and in second place, el santury.

after filling the tank, it was worship time. God blessed, the PA system worked like a jiff. it was really nice and thanks to thaddus, room tuning skills was a much great help to making the audio come out nice. after that, there was the opening session, camp & speaker expectation, talk. ect. the best part was, after the camp speaker finished introducing himself, there was no session! james (the great camp comandant) said "ok, so thats all for tonight, yopur free to go" !! woah !! and it was like only what.. 9, 10 pm???? woah best 1st day of camp ever! =D

then there was pne time i had to go to my parents room to get some stuff. so i asked my sister (she did the registration) for thier room number, when to block A2 .. floor 2... the lift opened, i stepped out, ... man was i freaking dark.. like freaky dark! there was only a small shine comming out of the lift, until it closed on behinde me.... shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... crap... i shall fear no evil! for i'm am fear incarnate!! heh heh .. but man, with the lift and its creaking noisie cables, it was spooky.. a lil bit .. just a lil' tiny bit.... =P okok fine, so it DID send a shiver up my spine. looking into the darkness not being ablt to see the end, i decided to go back to the lift, just as i was abt to walk back into the lift that just arrived, i heard my parents voice, huraay!

so that story aside, it was supper time, walked on down to the mamak and chowed down on some roti bawang. chit-chat, go back to rooms and ZzzZzzz off. today disgussing abt the rooms, there were supposed to be four of us, colin (sue ann's cousing), julian, jia ming and i sleeping in one apartment, but then julian went to sleep with his parents. and colin said his uncle was sleeping alone in another apartment, so we told him to follow his own advice and go teman his uncle. so yeah only left jia ming and i, the whole apartment to our selfs, i had one queen size bed all to myslef, while jia ming slept in the other room with two single beds. it was a good night. i went in, on the heater and while waiting for the water to warm up, laid down on the bed... it was meant to be for only a short while. but i dozed off =P

day2- saturday
woke up at 4, went back to sleep. was woken up by jia ming later at 7.45 ... as i turned my head to the side to look at him, i saw a cup of coffee and sitting on top the side table. oO ... *shocked* wow ... thanks jia ming.. its so kool, a personal alarm clock that doubles as a expresso machine! =D heh heh jkjk, not calling you my miad, thanks alot. so yeah went down to to the lobby and ate breakfast, the park nearby and the cool weather makes pull-ups real fun. while taking my porridge, sara dared me to put chili souce sinto my bowl, and i asked her how much , 50 cents. deal! she's shocked i did it. then i walked over to the table and jia ming said it was koko cruch, i asked him how much he bet, he said 5 bucks. and wohoo. just for the fun of it, now i know why alongs feels so happy abt people owening them cash, and yeah this we just for fun and jokes so didn't really bother to claim it, after all... james (looking out for funny pictures) and i gave jia ming the chance to free himself by kissing the lamp glass.... but.. he didn't la in the end. after eating every single avialable food: nasi lemak, poridge, toast, koko curch wth milk. headed back to the aparment to take a bath which i should have taken last night by tertidur and brush mah teeth.

see to fight the cold since i didn't have a jacket there was a skill i learnt once. after using the warm water to wash off the soap, just blast yourself with pure cold water. heh heh .. it might sound crazy, but seriously it works. i did this every time i toke a bath up there, hey i even do that down here in pj! i find that if i don't do that, i wil still sweat after a bath. but ending a shower with cold water, lowers the body's defult temperature, so not much heat is required to sustain it. or meaby its just that.... nothing else, not even the weater can compare to its icey-coldness. after all, you can get hot water anywhere as long as you have a heater, but u ain't no gonna get any cold water as this down here in pj =D. enjoying frasers to the max.

wow one thing great abt this camps scedual is that there is alot of time inbetween the activities, for example lets say breakfast, the time slot given is 7.30-8.45am. so most people wake up late (like me) and take breakfast at 8. once finished eating at 8.30, still had the time to go back and wash up before 9 (which is when the next activity starts) ... so yeah you get the point, can super take your own time

so 9am it was time for the first session's worship. and guess what??? the mangement changed the speaker (as in the box that gives out audio signals, not the pastor sharing) !!! oh man! it sounded crappy and gave alot more problems like feed back and all, this speaker was much older and was bassier too. thank God for adrian the PA dude who kau-tim the sound, while i did the transparencies. seriously, the PA system and electronic transparencies should be two diffrent departments, one person cant handle both!

after the 1st session we had another workshop, which was not planned. so the scedual was a lil bit screwed up, but not too bad la. after the workshop called 'ignatian contemplation' , where one reads the Scripture and usess his/her imagination (which God has given, tough much corrupted by us humans) ... and we choose a role to play in the scripture, subsitution one's self as one of the caracters in the passage. and then imeagining the surroundings, sound, smell, feelins, ect. we also had to write down what 'grace' we wanted from God and also have a colloquy (conversation) with God. than lasty jurnal it down

so with this unplanned workshop we were running behind scedual. thank you for 'leisure' time where we could catch up and get back on track. for those who went for camp and is reading this post, so see it was games time at 3, but we started late right? you wanna know why? ohh no i'm not gonna tell you why... too bad.... =P jkk. erm see the games props needed some preparation. making the stuff in the buckets, cutting cloths, and the hardest part was the iced t-shirts. see the shirts were wet and soaked with water and then dumped into the freezer to ... you know.. make it become ice.. the thing is that some people preparing this did not know and just dumped the wet t-shirt into the supe clean and cold freezer. thus the shirts got stucked as in glued to the walls of the fridge. some other's who prepared the shirts were smart enough to wrap itup in newspapers and then only throw it into the fridge. we had to pry out the stucked tshirt with spoons and pure brute strength. never use a knife to try and cut the shirts out as it may damage the walls of the freezer and the CFC gas will come out.

games prepared we started the activities. bannarama! (it was the theme for the games) made up by jack the head game master. wai yan and i were his little elf's aka station masters. and yeah for those who are wondering why i was limping. do you think that i was playing the silly game of putting a masking tape on a body part to show that it was hurt in a plane crash? (my appologies to those who do not understand what i'm talking abt, u may skipp this paragrah if you want to) or just continue reading on and try to guess what happened. so... for those who saw me limping with the masking tape with the word 'limp' on my right knee., do you think i was playing the game? if u taugh it was fake, then your wrong! =D see what happened earlier that day during games time, was....

there where two shirt of ice stuck together, so without using my brains i tried to do an om-bak move one the one ice cube to break it into two. i trusted my right knee up while bringing the ice block downwards with my hands, and then.. pak! ...................................... long silence.. i fell down to the floor... ow... oww.. owowoowow... heh heh .. so there you have it, the rest of tthe day i was limping. what a stupid thing to do. later on God gave me a smarter idea.. to just wack the shirts agains a metal pole, which worked on the 3rd try.. it broke into two =D

anoter good and memorialble part of the games was lai yee. see the teams had to measure various objects around the compound using bannanas and the S.I. unit bannarama. hee hee... so while preparing the games, ther was two more slots to choose the objects.. everything on the list was stationary, like the rode bump, the diameter of the light post glass sphere, the lenght of a sigh board, ect. so then we saw a cat. oO: "ooooooooo" idea, light bulp apears above head.... in the list, the second last object was the black, white and brown cat. hmmmm one more object.. then lai yee walks past us... O.O idea! heh heh heh heh ..... so we asked her permission to become one of the objects to be measured. told her the pro's and con's abt upon reciving that duty and also the ways she could escape from other groups. the pros: her group would be able to measure her, the cons: people whold be chasing after her, how to avoid: run away or go hide.

owh well, once it started, it was funny. james got omse pretie good.. oh wait no, thats not the right word. james got the BEST picturews in the whole camp. that was lai yee being pinned to the floor with a bannana being pressed againts her head. hahahaha it was hilarious. but also abit .. erm.. disturbing la. i feel sad for her, but at the same time laughing my ass of everytime i look at the picture. man she must be one trumatized girl.

with the games comming to an end, a few of us stayed and sat in the park, enjoying the breeze. we cleaned up the buckets and packed up the place, then we just loiletired in the park killling time. we tallied the scores and marks.. well joshua and i did it while jack just sat back and relax, nice being a big boss huh? one funny thing is that for in one of the answers, a grouped put '?' for the length of the cat, but still got one mark!!!! (in all the other answers, the last, most inaccurate measurment got 0 marks) but see most group guess the same lenths for the cat, 2/1.5/1 bannarama so the point 5 was given to two groups, the poin 4 was given to two groups, then so on and so fourth and when we reached the last group with the ? as thier answer, they got 1 mark! and then another funny measurment was that kok yee's group labbled lai yee as 15 bannarama.. thats around 225 centimeters!!!!! haha what a joke! while we tallied the marks some played 'sit big 2' while others played bannana-baseball. it was good.... used the boffer as the bat.. the banna splattered everywhere to show a strike! =D with good fun comes lots of clean up to do.

man the sad thing was that i couldn't change into my shorts for games because i didn't have the room key and jiaming went to town, owh well. this the things abt only having one room key and not sticking together. so just wore me long panths (which i wore most of the time in camp)

after washing up, we had dinner, it was ok only la the food. whats best is the fellowship you get when one sits in the same table as... others. the worship and session 2. gah the thing abt this camp was that everytime we weren't using the room, i had to take back the projector and keep it in the room, so everytime we needed to use it, i had to make trips back and forth to get it. good thing my room wasn't that far away. and i don't mind walking in the cool weather. the session was good. but one thing abt this pastor keith is that he always likes to use funny vedios to grab our attention. and the laptop we used, adlene's .. didn't have a grapics colour equalizer to change it, and we always weren't prepare before the talk (we don't run through the slides and tryout the vedios to see if it turns out) we just do it on the spot. now thats a bad thing, as sometimes the thing abt not trying out first is.... it doesn't work, or turns out ugly. owh well, what can a guy do if he has to run back and fourt doing both the pa system and transparencies? thank you jia ming for helping out in jagaring the pa system again

gahh, i had stomac ace. diorrea. sorta.. then steph came by: "you ok?" she asked..... i told her i had stomac ace, and she said she had it too! later on i found out alot of people kena. haha it must be the food. owh well, took a poh-chai-yi capsule filled with brown balls, and felt much better stright away. my stomac wasn't that bad afterthat incomparison with others.

ok so that was it, after the session it was supper time. most of the youths played 'cranium' in the lobby, but boy i was too tired and my leg was pooped, giving me a heck lot of problems... people who saw we walking even called me a zombie! =P ... so yeah i went back early to the aparment. switched on the heater, was planning to go take a bath, lied down in bed.. and dozed off. =P

was woken up by jia ming and adrian as they came in.. still late at night. adrain was to sleep with us tonight.. so ok... it was really late, so i didn't take that shower in the end, man i so wanted to have dragonball hair in the morning, owh well... tucked under the warm sheets tonight, unlike last night where i just slept ontop of them.

day3- sunday
yawn! woke up kinda late, 8 something. went to eat breakfast. this time i was running a lil bit late. made it in time to set up de projector and all. gosh for goodness sakes, prepare the transparencies! its not good to do it last minute! there were tonne of mistakes! then we had session 3 ...

aunt mui fong shared stuff abt slowing down the pace of life, and letting the soul catch up with the body =P and unpluging from computers and handphones ect, a simpler life. less instant-fast-food thingy.. and more patience.... ect.

a break in the middle and then session four ... for lunch and then back to the meeting hall for session 4. it was quite intresting this one. what we needed to do was find some one we don't know much abt and 'read' the person by letting God speak to us

so yeah partnered up with arian, then what we needed to do, was let God tell us what that person faviourite colour was.. i heard a small taught in me stirght away, 'green' then come to think of it, adrian had alot of green stuff, green crocs, green myvi, green bottle... hmmm so meaby we should have chosen some one we realllly didn't know. =P yeah then we moved on to the next level, we had to pray something for that person, letting the holy spirt lead our prayers.... kool huh? this what christian get to do =D xD

that aside, there was also some kinda 'workshop' we had to go for a 'nature walk' during lesiur time. all we had to do was... take a walk, and let God speak to us. saying something through nature. so yeah during lesiur time, colin, caleb, josiah and i went fro a walk, we went out of the compound to 'walk' around. we saw yew kong!!!! driving charity's peugeo! haha so nice to see him up here! cause her church was having its church camp in frasers too =D (diffrent hotel la) .. after we met for a short while we left off.,... so we went towards the jerai waterfall. we passed by a sign board tht says 'allen's water' and made fun of it.. meaby it was a small puddle of water.. and you can be allen for a short while if you piss in it =D heh heh but we decided stick to our road and go towards the waterfall. we saw umeng on the way, he was walking towards us, then he showed us a vedio of him poking a hole with a stick, then out came a big tarantula! haha kool! after showing us the vedio he continued his way and we continued on ours, after walking for a short while and reacing the rompin trail, we stopped. asked a man for directions and he told us the water fall is 4km down the road... then colin was smart and told us to turn back... along the way back we playedwith the spider holes located along the walls.. but sadly no spider ever did come out and we also had fun playing with the trapdoors the spiders made.

cutting our walk short and having extra time, we went to town. then we sad most of the youths there at a chinese stall and sat down with them. yew kong came by too! =D so nice to see him. and then there were unties who were passing by in cars, walking by also, they kept on staring at ukong! heh heh, they must have come from charities church and wondering what is her fieonce doing with this.. unkong gang of people =D ate some toast and played cards. played until 5.30.... ohh crap were late, worship was at 5pm!!! err.. one more round of cards lah then we go back =P...

so yeah hurried back. all this was done by walking mind you, no carss. and with a busted knee, limping the whole way. quickly changed into formal wear for sunday service. set up the projector and all and plucked a small yellow flower that was growing wild in the park. owh well i was thinking of what to say and preparing it while walking. i already taught abt plucking it as my 'nature' stuff.

to start off, everyone was late =D well almost la... and we started at around 6. then we gave out the prizes for games. congratz to the kia su groups that got the top 3 places. man the games had an 'anti' kiasuness controller in it but it didn't work out in the end. see the groups were supposed to find a hidden wooden cross while running around measuring things. there will be some laminated verses (its all the same) located at the foot of the cross, if your whole group memorises it (proverbs1.33) then you get an extra pont. and you get another extra point if you can bring the cross tojack, heres the catch, you must do it, WITHOUT removing it from its place. how you gonna do it? don't be kia-su ... use your brain.

the solution to the riddle was supposed to be, one must take a picture of it and show it to jack. but the teams ended up using plain brute force and carying jack there. =D owh well so much for the anti-kiasu controller. once one team found it, many others did too. and the frist one to find it, lil small kid melvin ...actually took the cross up. i saw, jack saw it.. but he nvr went and showed it to jack. good thing untie rita (a teamate) came in time and got him to put it back. so that group was safe from the B-I-G penelty if you showed the cross to jack by removing it from its place.

so after worship, everyone who had thier presentation went out and talked abt it. then when ppl stopped going out i went out. showinr the small yellow flower i talked abt how beautiful it is when you see so many of them. and how just like each christian being one of it, we should stand out among the grasses and since you always see them in patches, we must also stay close together as one body, because if one gets stepped on or pooped on by some cat, there will still be others around to make a new one grow back. in other words, we can encorage each other and keep each other alive. that was the first part, the second part of the sharing came right during worship. see by the time worship ended the flower looked readd withered and dead. so just as john 15:5 says that Jesus is the vien, we like the flowers my stay connected to the roots. if not we wont get our water and we'll just ..die. so yeap that was it. and yes to those who complemented, i shal reply you, God speaks through nature!

then later elder living shared and summed up the camp, talking abt t-net, discipleship, listing to God, ect. a short sharing. then we had our last dinner. oO beef again!! yum yum! eat only lah, thank God my stomach was better =D josiah tought me how to make a rose out of tissue paper.. heh heh kool.... and i tought an old grandmother how to make it.. cause she was sitting beside my grandmother when i gave the rose to her. the josiah was like: "oi, wrong target la" =P hey it was jsut for the fun of it! anyways the old lady (untie doraty's mom) was quite a fast lerner, jsut that she had amnesia =P my grandmother also tried because she was persuaded by her granny friend. but she gave up half way. now i know how to make flowers! thanks josiah!

then we went back up to the hall for 'games fator' but the thing is we already gave out the prizes, so we had a secret session, something abt cups. it was really kool, we arranged the tables so that there was four squares, and each square had papers and cups. there were four types of cups (four square tables) and we were required to do one cup at a time and then move on to the next when were done. we were to keep really silent, and have our own quite time to 'think' and 'reflect' using papers of guides on the table. there was also a real glass cup at each seat.

so first up, the cup of suffering ( something sad)
trying to break ice with my knee .. err.. caused me ALOT of pain =P physically lah, what this cup was reffering to was internal pain. but knowingy, everything (else from God) is meaningless, so i am happy yo bear the pain to come for Christ. God has indeed given me a very 'pain-free' or meaby 'pain loving' (as in physicaly lah) heart and i do thank God very much for that. so Lord i pray you'll save me a& strengthen me when pain comes my way. deepen my desire to be your disciple and desissions i've made that cause me pain: *sensord*. as i held the glass cup in my hand and tilt it, my sufferings flow away. and i opened my heart to the Beloved, accept consequences of choices i've made.

spent quite alot of time there, then went on next to no.3 the stained cup. (something bad)
mostly to do with emotions that preventness lovingness. looking into the cup, i see something that took a figure of east m'sia. most probebly to me it meant abt my.. err.. rasicsm?? attitude in class. hey all i do is jokes! both parties love it! owh well. yes it is fun, but people will see the change in me if i ... change. so the guided prayer for that paper was: cleanse me, more attentive to my 'inner world'?, wash away my unloving aspects & draw me closer to Your love

then after that i went on to the next paper, this wasn't located in one of the squares, cause they set up a small L shaped tables at the corner, and it was close to the place is was sitting, so not wanting to move much i went over there to the 'cluttered' cup. (something busy)
also to do with emotions, anxiety, resentment, and stuff that takes up ineer space. so to sum it all, just seek God, and have a relationship with him. I have lose my appitide for the computer now. (that what i said to myself then la) and so tilted the cup. freedom, joy, sit & relax quietly. matthew 6:21which says 'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' so Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven... =D
prayer: strength to empty the clutter. and deeper awareness of Our union

once finished i move on to the last cup, where i spent the longest time. the unmendable cup. looking at the short notes i wrote on the piece of paper, all i could remember was this points. -spirit can be mended. wisdom to know when things can be mended, and when it is irreparable. let the past be the past. so far, nothing came to my mind. GOd has granted me much peace and i am gratefil/ thankful.just like there were actions to complemend the guide, like tilting the cup, or looking into it, this time we had to let go of the cup. I'm scared, if i let go of the cup, the cup will hit the floor and break. see there is a hidden meaning to this. but yes for time to come, i hope God will give me the courage to let go of old bondages. isiah 43:18-19. not even remember but precive. the prayer: (i drew something like a triangle and made a mind map, too bad i don't have a picture of it so i'll just have to write it down. God give me the serinity to accept unchangeable things, give me the courage to change things that i still can change, also give me the wisdom to know the diffrence between both of them and finally help me to let go of the pieces of my past that cannot be mended. and after that prayer i wrote this: i have nothing to let go off, therefor i must change things that i can change.

after we all did the four cups we were to go to the alter, ps. keith and aunt mui fong will pray for us there nad then we will go eat cornflakes dipped in ribena (or wine, i think) for holy communion, that is to remember Jesus sacrifice for us, the 'bread' representing His body, and the wine representing his blood. since the line was uber long, i just sat at the table and waited, and reminisence. and just... lepak even more. waiting for the line to grow to its shortest. jack too didn't go out yet. he fell asleep on the table, and we took photos of him, then his dad sitting nearby came over and woke him up. heh heh i guess dads dun like funny pictures of thier sons. so i was planning to wait and wake him up when it was our turn, but owh well.. he was already awake. =P

so after that "cup" thing was done it was late into the night.

this is where the real fun starts!

=D

the last night, a night to not sleep, a night to have lots of fun, =D heh heh.

first fun stuff for the night was walking =D .. we took a walk into town (again!) but this time at night. all we did was chat, talk, fellowship and take pictures. great fun tough, walking almost aimlessly in the middle of the roads. we went to visit the place yew kong was staying in too =D

later we went to mark's room to hang out. woah there was a whole lot of people there. playing cards, big 2, bluff ect. and there were those playing cranium. the brains game. wow gosh is it hard when you've teammates who are your age. its like, we all know nuts! jia ming, julian ting and i was in one team. stepth's team won the game, with waiyan and nat. jack and his team of kenn and joann was err... had a head start, but because jack was really sleepie and tired they skipped his turn many times. brandon with colin and rachel's team had the most laughs. the hum dinners was hard. but with glitches and bugs it was quite easy to win stuff. owh well it was fun, congratz to the team with the winners spirit =D

thanks to joshua on behalf of everyone you cooked for. the mee was awesome (heh heh). he cooked sometihng that was like indomee by flatter with a cattle! in between turns for crainum we would chat. there was one time he went to the mini blacony and after a while rachel went to check and he wasnt there! then we made a joke and said he jumped down =P. after losing/winning cranium i went off with him to his balcony and had a talk. ahh the brezee outside so nice. he is one funny dude, always cranking up jokes with him. then was this cicada that flew into his apartment, we we palnning to scare brandon with it when he woked up =D

later on went back to the happening room and played bluff with two deck of cards. made a mistake which almost cost me my win. but was still able to make up for it by placing the card down real fast so they couldn't call a bluff. =D there's the glitch. it was getting late so went back to the room. colin came to sleep with us cause his apartment was really far away. so he slept in the other single bed with jia ming. and since this che kai, lai yee wanted to sleep in your apartment (yeah i know she is a girl!!!) because our apartment was sooooo peaceful compared to mark's (we were just neighbours) so yeah she went on earlier to our room to sleep. there was no more bed from me. but i had already planned. ever since josh and i had the talk in the balcony i got the idea to sleep outside in the balcony!!! haha a true way to enjoy frasers to the max!!! first i tried to sleep on the chair, but failed, there was no pillow for me! =( jia ming took one, colin took anoter. and the only spare pillow left was in lai yee's room! . so i took the cusions out from the sofa and slept on it =D siok!!!!!!!

day 4- monday
slept fomr 3-6am. 3 hours of sleep only. why? cause i made a deal with jack that night. that we would go joggin at 6 in the morning. hey its the last morning. i've always wanted to wake up early, but always failed to do so. so i had to wake up for the last morning! =D changed into my long white 'plent tough' pants and my white long sleeve shirt, heh heh this was sure to scare the crap out of some one, seeing a dude dressed in all white at 6 am in the morning! =D and yes jack kept our pact, we came to my door and we went.. for our.. walk. (i didn't have shoes) so yeah.. crap the joggin lets just go for a walk. .. together.. alone.. 6am in the morning.. so gay.

the last night was fun. the last morning was just plain crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why you may ask, whats with all the exclamation marks? was it really that insane?

the answer: YES!

now you may be wondering what we did. ohh i'll tell you what we did. see it was so early, we decided to take a walk. around frasers, not in the compound of silver park. so first off we reached the cross roads. the road on the left towards the waterfall was really eriely dark, so we decided to go to allens water. so off to 'allen's water' and not surprizingly just like colin, jack made the same joke abt pissing into the puddle of water. when we reached there, we found out it was a pond.. ok... nice. then for our next destination we headed towards the waterfall. the sun had risen by now, and the road didn't look as scarily dark as it was earlier on. so we walked.

when we reached the rompin trial i told him abt what colin, caleb and josiah and i experienced.. abt the tarantula holes and trapdoors and all. then we made the discision to go to the waterfall.... man i tell you, that was the dumbest decision i've ever made in my life. we walked. reached the 'smokey house' went insde and looked around, nobody came to greet us owh well... saw the menu, one bottle of water cost RM10!!! hahhaa what a ripp off. and there was a dedication plate... saying something abt the place being buitl and given by a church in england and something to do with st.john of juruselem... kool... so we walked on and read a sign board that said. "jerai waterfall 4km" .. we didn't really take much consideration of how long 4 km would be. even colin gave up when we heard of it. so we walked. there were markings on the floor. 1 ..... 2... 3... took around 3-5 minutes to reach from one marking to the other .. we walked .. made fun of buildings that we passed by.. calling it tank factories and plants to take over the world... and walked.. and walked.... and talked... we even saw a monkey =D and walked even more. our legs got so tired. we wanted to give up half way, but no we continued on.. walking... then we wanted to turn around, but then we taought we've come such a long way, must as well continue... then around 3/4 of the way.. (we don't know how far the waterfall was beofre, we were just walking not knowing when we'll reach the end)... we heard the sound of water! ohhh how sweet the sound... but later on we found out it was really diciving, cause the water fall was much much furter ahead.. there sill so much road left to walk.. i'm sory i cant really explain to you readers how both of us really felt. you have to try it for yourself. but after reading this you'll only do that if your dumb =D like seriously it is a ling way to walk!!! .. at floor marking no 11 it was the last one... we reached the gates that said jeram waterfall, out side of it was a parking lot, for smart pople who drive cars. so we opened the closed gate, just as we did at allens water.... and walked in. litter did we know that we still had a long way to walk insde ... we reached a small water fall.. i was abt to kill myself.. cause this couldn't be it!!! the trek still went on, so we continued, only then did we reach the waterfall! the real one! wohooo!! .. and as he had planned during the uber freaking super duper mega ultra long walk.. we took our piss in it =D (woah i hope the autorities don't read this)

after we had complete our goal, it was time to go back.. oh gosh.. it made me depress to even thing of how much road we needed to cover to get back. it was uphill too. i'm pretie sure we reached the bottom of the vally, as it was all flat ground there. but owh well.. we walked up... to marking no 11.. then jogged to marking no 10.. phewh tiring, but iwth the cool air we recovered fast, took off our shirts.. and there you have it, two half naked guys both running in long white pants. =D then there were some pretie flowers nearby. so i plucked one as a memory. then jack plucked anoter as proof of our long walk down. as we finished our walking break from poin no.10 to no.9 .. we jogged on to no 8.. wow there is much diffrence in joggin and walking. joggin was so much faster! like crazy much faster! but tiring lah. thank God he pulled us through it. and i didn't die of a hungry stomach. hint: next time bring food along! as we slowly jogged and walked our way up i picked up more and more flowers. holing a buch of wild and beautiful flowers in my hand. (which later withere and some broke when we were running)

jack made up a sermon abt it. life is just like this. as we go thorugh life, we take the momries along that are sweet, while leaving the ugly ones behind.

then we went and tired to take a short cut, but it didn't work... we tought we were on the right track but insdead we skipped a junction. so we walked up the road and came back to the right path. =D another lesson. as right as a shortcut muight seem. don't take it =D

and then we also passed by a bush with very nice orangie flowers. i tried to pluck it, but it had thorns! yeouch. forget it, the stem was also quite fibourus so it was hard to break. another less.. something the memories might seem nice, buy actually it is a pain in the @55 .. so we just left it behind....

finally we reached the roundabt, our walk was comming to and end. we reaced the makan place and ate breakfast, filling my oh so hungy stomach. then i arranged and wrapped the flowers in tissuepaper into a nice buquay .. which later jack took and gave to sabrina (aunty nat's niece) =D heh heh.. he took the prtiest flower of all out tough and gave it to nat. other than the wild flowers we/i picked there was also some man planted .. erm.. bunga tahi ayam, doesn't sound very nice, but it sure does look bigger than the wild flowers... but those didn't look wild, so i left it out of the buquay. ah well.. if only the small girl knew how much sweat and.. err.. blood? was needed to get those wild beautiful flowers. (please forgive me, for the muched used " I " in this paragraph)

and then after lazing around, we went up to the hall. (which was situated above the makan place in the same building, which was also the receptionish counter) then there was the clossing free for all talk. jack and i kept on hinting to each orther to go out, but we never did in the end. after that was done. it was time to go home!

cleaned up rooms. almost forgot to pack my white long sleeve shirt, but thanks to jia ming who double checked, it wasn't left behind... turned in keys, and while everyone was eating lunch, i went upstiars to the empty hall and pack up the PA stuff. i have learnt an important lesson, both as PA technition and camp participant. to not stink: i brought 6 shirts! more than any othere i've brought for camps.. and yes i manged to used them all up... tough i only wore 3 pants tough.. and forgoodness sake, don't just bring gnam gnam enuf cables! next time come prepared with more xlrs! so with knowledge learnt from experince...ate lunch. pack all de stuff into the cars. and left of for PJ.. tadaa! the end
