goldfish.

hi guys.

i'm back from om and ohana camp. this is one of my first posts in trebuchet for a long time. in fact, this is one of my first posts in a long time. few problems came up like my internet was down, and my mind didn't feel like blogging, but now my fingers are steadily at work.
let's see. my dad just came in and said i had to do my work. maybe after i blog.

another life gone. ah po, my godfather's mum's eldest sister. always greeted her whenever i paid a visit to my cousins. a week ago in a coma. now, not sure where she's on her way to. prayed for heaven. will have to pray again. wonder what ever happens when one dies. it's a real sad world.

odyssey!

odyssey' was damn fun. Out of all three times, first colorado, then iowa, and now michigan, there's not been a time where it hasn't been fun. could this have been my last time in om? i hope at least year 5 still still stays promising. not sure about next year.

let's list one happy thing-
WE GOT FIRST!!! OWNAGE! PWNAGE!!! FIRST!!!! We've never gotten 1st! In p6, we got a measly 4th. Then in sec 1, 3rd, and now in Sec 2, first!!! WOOHOOO. jumping jackels! hmm. but actually currently, the only excited part of my body is probably my fingers. and a little curve on my lips that spread across my face. the excitement of om has died down. so sad it's over now.

let's list one sad thing-
I missed the buddy team night party! Argh. All of the dumb luck, i had to be a heavy sleeper. nong claims he spent 15 minutes trying to wake me up. aww. thanks nong. they spent many hours signing shirts, exchanging emails and talking. even makes me feel sad now to think i missed out all the fun. in the morning, i was super sad.

dang it. om's over. it was so fun. when i get pics of the buddy team and all i'll probably post it up here. or maybe i'll be too lazy. i realise i'm rather lazy to blog about every single thing that happened in om. i'll try to make it brief.

we got there.
decided who slept where and made a storage room.
ate dinner and traded pins.
did some other stuff.
and um, i can't remember, slept real late?
next day, main highlight was opening ceremony and meeting the buddy team. opening ceremony didn't seem to have many people, probably cos other teams had not arrived yet, i was not too sure.
in between opening and closing ceremony, we did our ltp and spon, which was about a singing frog. i was quite upset about spon cos i thought we flunked it, but it turned out that we got second for spon, and second for ltp and third for style. at least we got 1st overall! yepp, of course we also traded pins, play with our buddy team, and had to work on props and a bit on spon.

ohana

ohana camp, very basically, wasn't as fun as youth camp, but was probably more meaningful. yepp. i don't really miss it. but i just feel weird. the only youths i knew well who went were ben leong, teng bros, evan, heidi, berwyn, heather, aaron, and gracelynn. yeah i think so.

games were ok. not that fun. we really sucked at them but hey! that's ok. our group had many elderly after all, and many of our members were organisers. ahh well. even if the games weren't that fun.

food was good. but boring. around the same thing everytime.

worship was good. although there weren't any tng songs. would be an overdose of energy and noise for the adults and elderly i guess.

sermons were uh...no comments. except second one was not bad!

workshops, since we were the oldest there, i didn't really feel like the methods suited us. i guess it did work a bit in the end. a lot of note-taking and weird games. but hey, it's all to suit the age gap.

yepp, i guess that's about it. oh yes, did shopping as well. bought two new t-shirts, from the brand of "forest". not too sure about it, but i liked the designs. at night, we had mini-parties where the youths gathered to snack and play cards and talk till like 1+am.

good times good times.

and now it's over. back to school and chamber and bb and prefects and church.

yepp.
right now my bro's watching bleach, and i'm still blogging. sometimes i'm distracted by interesting scenes. i thought it was the first week still, since i spent about a week in the US and half a week away at Ohana. Damn.

went for om.
came back home for 1 day.
went for ohana.
came back home for 2 days.

it feels weird to keep shifting, and finally now that i'm home again.
i feel like a goldfish being experimented consistently with waters of different pH.

sigh.
