Monday, January 02, 2006 || I return from camp!
- I RETURN!!!
Okie, so I came home last Friday, but I dozed off promptly as soon as I reached home, without even packing.
About camp, it was G-R-E-A-T! Amazing, even!!! Made a lot of friends. =) I actually took a lot of pictures, but apparently, some feller thought it would be funny to delete some pictures off my cam to annoy me ... GRR. -_- God, all my japaneseee pictures!!!
I have LOTS of things to blog about. I dunno if I'll find the inspiration or mood to really elaborate ... and I'm a lil' lazy to upload all the crapload of pictures I took, so here goes ...
Asian Baptist Youth Fellowship Conference: Day One: Heading for P.D ^^
Erm. Our dearest p.s Joshua made us reach EBC at 9 in the MORNING 'cuz the bus was *supposed* to leave then. But we ended up leaving at 11 ........... And Jac, Cally, Esther, Marianne and I were shoved off the van at Canaan to follow their bus, which left at 12.30.
... WASTED our three hours of sleep. -_-;;
Gahhhh, I have no idea why but my hair was #@$@# in camp. And for some reason, my face got a lot bigger ... I blame it on the food. Bleh. And my friends for pointing that out to me so many times ....... Oh well.
Jaclyn trying to act cool with her caps + shades look. *smirks*
Hot Esther, Marianne, cute Cally, and *bleeped* me at Canaan B.C
In the van ... and my stupid forehead. Hehe.
Anyway, before camp, I SWORE not to curse or swear in camp. But apparently, my self-control is still noobish ... one very funny moment in the bus ride with the Canaan-ians was when Jaclyn and I tickled Cally, and she YELLED out "WHAT THE F***!!!" ... Which caused everybody to turn around and blink at her.
LOL.
And after one or two hours of pigging out on chips in the bus ... We reached Bayu Beach resort, which was NICE!

I loved it ... it was not that fancy and peaceful looking. =)
... But of course, most of us EBC-ians (which includes ME ^^) had to stay at Golden Sands, another resort ...
But it was okay, cuz I love Golden Sands a lot. For some reason, that place has a peaceful quality about it ... so much that I love going back to it every year.

Our Golden Sands dormitory. =P The three of us in one of our usual crazy poses ...
One thing about camp, Jaclyn and I were like sick cats throughout it. I was nursing a perpetual sore throat and cough, while Jaclyn was a mixture of all. -_-
Anyway, more about the camp. It is a once-in-a-long-long-time opportunity for Malaysia to host the Asian Youth Conference, so at least 700 people came, from 13 different countries. It was really an amazing experience to see how so many people from different backgrounds and cultures could blend together so well. :D Almost everybody were really friendly, and a lot of them were cute. *coughs*
Proof that I was a sick cat:

Cally was, surprisingly, the healthiest among our trio. Damn semangat man, that girl, taking pictures of almost every leng chai with her camera phone ... HAHA.
Asian Baptist Youth Fellowship Conference: Day Two: The Fun Really Begins
The second day was the day when we started really crapping and talking with the foreigners. I LOVED the japanese! So cute, their accents ... Friendly too! I HAD pictures that I took with them, but some *bleep* deleted them. Blah.
Me: "Soooo ... I watch Naruto! I heard its really popular there right? I watch a lot of animes .. ^^"
Kawaii Jap Dude: "Yes yes ... Naruto very popular in Japan ... We have a lot of animes"
Me: "I HAVE TO GO TO JAPAN! I love everything about it!!"
Kawaii Jap Dude: "Malaysia is great too ... but a bit hot. Our country very cold now ..."
Me: "WOW! We Malaysians must organize a trip there ... you all must bring us around ok?"
... Obviously, I was in a crappy mood. Which was cool, cuz at least I talked ... Right? :p
And we were divided into different teams. I was in the same group as a dude from Indonesia, Brunei, and I can't remember the rest. Hehehe. Everybody was nice, though.
The first obstacle was a food fear factor thing. We had to gobble up ONIONS, GARLICS, GINGER and CHILLI PADI or we wouldn't be able to head for the next round. Jaclyn and I swallowed garlics like mad ...
..... And Jaclyn puked five times after that. *shakes head*
There were presentations from the people of different countries... I actually did take a lot of pictures, but ah, I'm a bit lazy to sort them out in this post. Maybe next time ......
The third day, I think. During games session ...
Joshua with two dudes from India. :D
Our EBC team! I love them to bits ... Like seriously. Suarup, my friend from India, is at the back. Hehe.
The view from Bayu Beach ... Nice, right?
Also taken during games session ......
You know how they say ... you'll never REALLY know someone until you've LIVED with him/her? That phrase is SO TRUE, man.
There were a LOT of dramas at camp, especially within my social circle and dorm. HAHA. One ridiculously 'funny' person was Pei Yi. That girl is crazy ... -_- Which sorta drove us out of our nerves many times. :p
So there was one time, she was grumbling about how dirty we made the dressing table, and she leaned over to push our stuff aside ... and when she did so, I pinched her ass, which caused her to SCREAAAAAAM really loudly. And made a big scene. =P
On the very same day ... Jaclyn hid around the corner of our dorm building with a mop, and when PY walked in, Jac went "HAIYAK!!" kung-fu style with the mop at PY, which caused PY to jump and nearly fall. -_-
Damn funny lah. For most of the time, all of us were laughing till our jaws hurt. =P

Uncle Button the kawaii clown and Ps Rob Cain. :D
EBC-ians unite!
People from Hong Kong and India, with a very 'sesated' Jaclyn at the back. Heh.
... I can't really remember which country are these people from. *whacks own head* I love their costumes, though!
The Australian worship team...
Some people and the banana boat ... Which I didn't get a chance to ride on. Blah. T.T
Okay, enough pictures for now ...
Camp was awesome. I've learnt a lot about myself ... And sad to say, I've learnt that in actuality, I am nowhere close to the person that I thought that I was. I've always thought that I was this headstrong, stubborn, independant girl ... But I've realized that I've been such a JERK for such a long time already.
In camp, there were a lot of free times, so there were a lot of emo moments when I'd be able to really really talk with my best friends. And it turns out that I'm not the only insecure one ... We're all wearing masks. Confident masks to protect ourselves, acting like we don't have a care in the world. So I guess that I've concluded that it's okay to feel sad or vulnerable. That it's okay to feel lonely at times.
What was I trying to prove, anyway? That accidentally cursing REALLY bad words all the time was cool? Whenever my friends talked to me about smoking, drinking or whatever ... I'd only smirk and play along with them. I never stood up for what I believed in. =/
I was a ... coward. Still am. But, well, I think that I'm going to make some serious changes in my life. =) I've recommited my life to Him, and I really really want to be a better person. Less insensitive, friendlier, nicer ...
My new year's resolution is this: I want to try to be the best person I can be. Not the shadow of the people that I want to be.
I don't know how long will I stand firm ... But I really want to feel happy again. I really want to love again. :D I miss Him ... a lot...
More about camp later ... Tsk. Maybe I'll get more pictures from my friends, though I think that I was the only one who brought a cam from EBC. O.o
You know, I really did miss the blogging world. A bit, at least.
Happy New year to everybody!
