Youth Camp 08


so youth camp 08 is over
it was a blast , but i had 70% of the fun at camp cause i was sick throughout the whole camp
what a time to pass your sickness to me nicholas ng
but even so , it did not stop me from hearing what God wanted me to hear at camp
i'll be posting just the major points cause that's all i can remember :D
so here goes!!

this year's camp theme was "God is Able"
our camp speaker was Terry Appel , a aussie
well here's all the info you need :D


next , i really like the games group and dorm names , all named by ee huei our head of dorm and group department
so the dorms were

Girls

- Neverland
- Shangri-la
- Avalon 1 , 2 , 3

Guys

- Frisland
- Camelot
- Elsinore
- El Dorado
- Bresil
- Atlantis
- Stonehenge
- Chichen Itza

Games Groups

- Phantom
- Lighting
- Raptor
- Falcon
- Eagle
- Hornet
- Tomcat
- Skynight
- Cutless
- Crusader

the yellow colors are my dorm and group
danial chia was my dorm leader while ashley was my games leader
well since my dorm name was Stonehenge and danial was our leader , he expected us to act like barbarians cause well....we're the Stonehenge lol



the camp manual for this year's camp sure looks good , doesn't it??
what you think??
i think the people who designed it , sure did a great job
so goes with the name tag

i know my name tag says my games group is eagle , but i'm in falcon
su ann whom i ask to change my name tag 4 times , refuse to change it to me and gave me very lame and stupid excuses =.=
and when i toke the 3 pictures above , i tried to do the blurry affect
clearly i failed T.T

so the journey to the campsite took what it seemed forever
i couldn't sleep , cause next to me was 2 annoying paparazzi a.k.a elysia tan and nicole
who could not stop taking pictures of me sleeping
at arrival at the campsite , we were welcomed with pouring rain
then off to the main hall for the camp briefing
oh btw the campsite is below :D

Nube Training Centre :D

and the main hall , we removed the chairs
.
.
.
then we played a game what my school cf calls "mafia"
where you have to hit someone with a role of paper
( very thick paper ) and before he hits you , say someone else name
for example "A" is the mafia
and "B" must say someone elses name when "A" is about to hit him :D

my dorm

veiw from my bed , isn't it nice??

*fast forwarding*

dinner - food sux
end of story

cafeteria

moving on to session 1
well God put a phrase which i just heard days ago which is
"live like you going to die tomorrow , plan like your going to live forever"
i can't get it out my mind , and i think this is how i should start living my life

during dorm moments i was starting to fall asleep
remember i was sick ok
so the moment dorm moments finished , went and brush teeth
wear my jacket , lie on my bed , sleep :D

-Day 2-

so i heard many people went to morning prayer , approximately half the camp according danial chia
i only woke up when quiet time started
well actually when i woke up they already started...lol

*fast forwarding*

variety night preparation
well everyone should know what variety night is
but for my school friends who probably won't , it's a night where all the games group team up to act out a sketch
my group paired up with cutless

it was hard to work the sketch , at a point i gave up on the group
cause everyone wasn't focusing on the sketch
so were the 2 leaders
well just to add up i was in a grumpy mood and my fever and gotten worst
but luckily it was free time so i had a nice rest
but to spoil it was games =.=

the games this year was fun , but cannot compare to last year
among all the games , running around the bucket 10 times was the funniest
although i didn't play cause of my fever
actually , all the games i hated , i gave the excuse i needed rest
ok i was joking there ok =.=

- during the games -
.
.
.
after the games , everyone mostly went down to the beach
with 1 reason and only for ONE reason
= baptize people =
i didn't know who got baptized cause i wasn't there , thanks to my fever
every time i talk about my fever , the taught of strangling nicholas ng always crosses my mind
the guy who past me his fever

ok so it was banquet night after bath time
this year's theme was retro night
or is it "Blast from the Past"??? man am i confuse
so it's either one
well the theme is to basically dress up in your 60's/70's/80's costume
and of course the winner would be this guy

-sean lee jia ern-

who went as the King of Rock and Roll - Elvis Presley
nono this guy seriously is from our church
his this guy

- a picture that comes only every 100 years -

well let's not forget adrian the efro guy

and of course , the rest of the gang
.
.
.

and my date was joey WONG
not joey GOH
a date which i did not take out to dinner...haha
but because i was sharing date , david teoh had the pleasure of taking her alone =.=
and here's something funny to add
when danial chia told me my date was joey wong , i was still in a dizzy mood
so i said this in my mind
"har??? i'm dating my brother??"
HAHHA

so variety night , never has cease to make me laugh my head off
or in this case , my throat out :D
personally , i find that my group should had won
well actually i didn't act
hehe
i was watching my team perform while i was seating with the crowd cause i was yet to recover

so the funny moments to remember

- pastor berry banana

this one was seriously funny
well since our camp speaker was terry appel , they made fun of his name
because appel is close to apple , so they changed his name to berry banana
that was done by benjamin , and his group tomcat and lighting

- british pounds vs australian dollars

earlier during session 2 , pastor terry appel made fun of our ringgit currency
so pastor richard ( who's a British man ) decided to get back at him
so , the scene

Ps. Richard
Eugene Khoo

What is this?!?!
Australian dollars larh
What?!?! *throws the money away* I expected BRITISH POUNDS

this was also done by tomcat and lighting
and you know , i think the reason they weren't in the top 3 and probably last , was they were making fun of pastor terry appel to much
and since he was one of the judges , he might had minus lots and lots of points
so never make fun of a judge :D

- McKarKientheFoo

look out people!!
if you happened to go to McDonald's , check out for their latest burger , McKarKientheFoo
named after out photographer , Foo Kar Kien a.k.a FKK
so every team , when they get the piece of paper on which they must act something related to the subject written on the paper , must also say out 3 key words for extra bonus
in this case , one of their keyword was Kar Kien i suppose

so they named the new burger for McDonald's McKarKientheFoo
kar kien , don't feel offended about it
think of it this way , how many people have their names on a McD burger???
:P

- Robocop's bicep cramp

well it's not actually that funny if you don't know about lawrence and his biceps story
well it's simple
he taught his biceps were his thighs ( unsure spelling )
so adrian was robocop and making fun of that

and this was actually from my group
so our sketch was base on this superhero competition
a.k.a superhero idol
so we tried to impersonate american idol as much as we could
such as having ryan teoh as Ryan Seacrest
and having the 3 judges

joel benjamin - randy jackson
su lynn - paula abdul
sean - simon cowell

and also with 2 chinese judges played by sean and erm...forgot...lol
so the judges would ask each superhero where they got their powers and what their powers were
so the superheros that audition were
  1. superman
  2. cicakman
  3. robocop
  4. darth vader ( his a villian not a superhero ryan!!! )
  5. spiderman
  6. batman
erm i think that's all =.=
the funniest among all would be adrian and meng yoe who played superman

- Superman's powers and where he got them

so what are his powers??
"i can fly with manual , and automatic" - meng yoe
he's talking about the car gears =.=
that seriously made me laugh like crazy till my throat was painfull for 30 minutes
lol

so where he got his powers??
obviously , he's red underwear which he forgot to bring
so he brought a paper-shaped underwear with the word "red" written on it
and the girls in the crowd were desperate for it
especially cae me HAHAHAHA

*fast forwarding*

-Day 3-

i'll go straight to the photo session :P
so instead of having the photo session on the last day , we did it on the 2nd last to avoid chaos and rushing
well , you know malaysians and their punctuality problems =.=
and i learned something cool about photography
you can take pictures with a remote
that's what kar kien did
so cool...

after the photo sessions was 2 hours and 15 minutes of free time
so everyone headed for the beach
1st of all , the beach had very , VERY limited space
and even so , the beach were pack with rocks

so i played touch rugby
which i find was pretty stupid..lol
it was like , play and stop repeatedly for like a 100 times
it was annoying
and what makes it more annoying is you can only pass behind and not in front

baptism again...
unbelievably , the baptism people manage to baptize danial chia
lol
watching them do that was so funny
they took like 7 seconds to baptize him
and baptizing irwing was funny
normally before you baptize people , you ask
"do you receive Christ and you personal Lord and Savior?"
and the person SHOULD say yes
and irwing said no which resulted in getting baptized quicker =.=

-Station Games-

erm there were altogether 10 stations
so i'll try to rmb the games

1st was AJ
the game was putting coins , eggs and marbles from 1 container to another with a chopstick
and the chinese people in my team should be ashame of yourself
including me =.=
cause among us all , the best person that used the chopsticks was benjamin , a African guy

the 2nd station we went was Dar Ray's
it was at a very grassy area , and he used it to his advantage
in 5 minutes , hit as many cans by rolling a tennis ball
he was difficult as the cans were covered by thick , long grass
i didn't roll the tennis , i was the catcher catching all the balls , running everywhere =.=

3rd was melissa's
erm , didn't know what it was
it was something about lifting up legs , i was resting at that time
ran too much at the previous station..haha

4th kar kien and danial's
of all things to throw at us , they threw chili sauce
and what happened ?? went inside BOTH my eyes
well the game is simple
put a water balloon on someone's head , shaved all the cream out till u see the color of the balloon

and i was the unlucky person holding balloon which meant i couldn't dodge any of the incoming chili sauce attacks
which i forgot to mention , either kar kien or danial poh would be throwing some water mixed with chili at the people constantly
or whatever was inside
it made my eyes burn like crazy =.=

5th was samuel's
it's passing 2 balls and a rugby around
which i find is very hard to explain it here so , sorry
anyways , i didn't play
so i watched the other groups at kar kien's station
natalie was so funny
she tend to run like 10m away when kar kien throws the water , not forgetting the constant screaming
lol

6th was jonathan's
i didn't play , guarded adrian from getting him his nipples attacked
i seriously don't know what's wrong with the youth
attacking each other's nipples
man this sounds really wrong...
the game was simple
8 people are blind folded , and 2 people have to direct them to put boxes around them
or whatever :P

7th was su ann's
it was stupid and childish yet fun
aren't all childish games fun??
well , it's something which i actually fail to do in my childhood days
it's shooting tin cans with a water gun
i love water guns
but , apparently , after shooting it twice , it spoils , malaysian product mah!!
and when i asked my parents to but another , the answer is "no"
and well , i spend the next 7 hours crying in my room
that was when i was 5 not 14

8th was ee huei's
lazy to explain
lol
there's a mine field , full with banana peals and erm....poop??
so the guy crossing the mine field is blind folded
and someone has to direct them across the mine field

9th was su lynn's
erm , tossing water balloons to another person with blankets??
i'm getting tired
sorry =.=

10th was cae me
which was like the easiest of all , but the seemed hardest for other groups
easy , get 1 person to read out something funny and the rest of the group members must not laugh
as simple as ABC
:D

i'm starting to get tired so i'll
*fast forward*
again

erm , getting REALLY tired so...skip to pack up time :D
actually i didn't pack during pack up time cause i actually packed my bag the night before
so i just slept awhile , cause i was predicting that the 2 paparazzi were gonna do their job in the bus again
annoying people =)

so , the bus 3 that was awaiting us was a different bus
the bus that journeyed to the nube facility was green
and brian seem obsessed with it =.=
so instead of green , it was yellow
but liked this bus because the driver was kind enough to let us a watch a movie
and the movie was Hancock
i've never watch it before so i was paying full attention to it
apparently after watching it for 15 minutes i slept

so this what happened in youth camp 08
i'm sure next year's would be better ( it better be ) :P
although i was sick throughout the camp , it was still fun
fun both in fellowship and experiencing God's presence
i really enjoyed this year's camp
( especially the water gun game :P )

before i forget , i wanna thank dar ray and danial for taking good care of me throughout the camp and also to my dorm members
who woke me up at 2 just to give me medicine
and yucky it was
and also , i learned 1 very important thing
NEVER go near nicholas when a important event is coming up :D

and also , i hope YOU would follow me to next year's camp
it'll be a life changing experience you'll never forget
