17/02/09
Bright and early I went to Daniel Christians "worship" with Annie and Pricilla, a time before breakfast where we sang songs of praise and shared God's word. A brave proposal to hold it at camp since quite a few ppl just peered in wondering what the hell we were doing, but would you "rather make a fool of your friends and see them later, or leave them to fall into the depths of Hell and never see them again?" Anyway, lectures occupied the first half of the day, where we learnt that we all had REALLY tense shoulders, or that we're all so dirty minded (including the guy making the speech!) LOL since everything the guy spoke about was taken COMPLETELY the wrong context! Haha what a classic way to end a speech....Though some talks weren't all that interesting since every1 literally slept through the "Guided Imagery" lecture -.-" Aka Sleeping 101 - pillow and towel/sleeping bag so your ass doesn't hurt when lying down in the gym. Essentially, we just lay there, eyes closed, listening to Mrs. Culling drone on about going a journey where "we cross a bridge, picture a shining diamond....you are in a beautiful garden...." Etc.... and that's literally all I remember since I kinda dozed off ^^" hey at least I wasn't snoring like some ppl :P LOL Also, on a spur of the moment thing, our cabin (aka Me, Pricilla, Annie, Fi, Mickey n Jiin) minus PriScilla who was manning the video camera, and Mickey who was our awesome conductor :) decided to sing 1000 miles by Vanessa Carlton, a classic but a goody :) (eh which I still have in my head in random times) But that was later on.... First of all, another group of us was ushered down to the beach, but this time Me, Pricilla, Mickey and Annie decided to take advantage of the pool which had a much less saltier aftertaste. Again, water fights were a MUST and we also got Ms. Rose ^^ hehehe. And we played Marco Polo! Haha so long since I've played that game....though your NOT meant 2 open your eyes when being Marco! LOL (we can still see you looking :P haha) But after more people came, the game altered into some diving game which has no name that I know of, but basically you hide something and every1 tries to find it. Kiera kindly offered to sacrifice her precious AFL Melbourne tag since Mr. Gray wouldn't offer to give up his plastic chair as per Steph's suggestion. But damn should've bought goggles like some of the guys *cough Ren cough* who had much of an advantage over us :P haha oh well.
Reminder: Use Aerogaurd next time I'm on camp -.-"
Since our performing group basically got like 10 mozzie bites each (especially Annie since mozzie's really seem to like her blood :P haha jks) while we were practicing outside (bad idea) after dinner. So there we were practicing our song and hopping and scratching while each singing our parts. o.0 Quite a funny sight now that I think bout it, though the itchiness was damn annoying -.-"
But as I said, def one of the best highlights of the camp was Review night! ^^ Where every1's talent had a time to shine and share, also a time that we found out that Mr. Penso would turn gay for Roodenburg....*shudder* and that his hair was "just like this" *points to semi bald head....” skin colored hair o.0 hmm i wonder....LOL and for those who were there, I pity anyone who has to endure a years worth of Imam's LAME jokes LOL. Beg to differ? Take this as an example....ask him about "I lost my harp at sand crab disco...." Prepare to be utterly shocked by the pure lameness….he might even sing it if you're lucky (or unlucky) like us :P hahaha. Oh and our song? Well after enjoying every1 else's performance, (we were 2nd last) can I say that my girls Pricilla, Annie, Fi, Mickey, Jiin and Melody on piano fricken ROCKED ^^ Haha, well we did manage to get every1 singing along ^^ The buzz was indescribable. Seeing everyone smiling and joining in like that was simply amazing. Shall post up a link of the song very soon, or the performance when it's out :) So keep an eye out! Lmao oh yeh, the rest of the night after review night was hilarious LOL the ppl in our cabin know what I'm talking about :P But we also attempted to play mahjong by torchlight before getting busted and trying to help Jasmine and Melody run back to their cabin without tripping over the random rabbits that were running everywhere :P
But all in all, despite no nudie runs this yr :P I still had an awesome time @ Cowes! ^^ It is these times that we share that make it count and mean so much. It is these memories that will live on forever. It is these photos and recordings that remind us of whom we are and who we were. It is this time together that shapes our friendships and future. When I came back, I felt something change, felt more "bonded" I suppose :P I could place even more names on those faces I see everyday in those red jumpers. I could tell you something about most as I've learnt so much about these people we are to share the rest of our lives with being the class of 2009. It is these people who make our year. Together, we will leave our mark. :) P.s. Soz for the long blog but so much did happen :P oh and every1 please try to post your photos on either fb or skool intranet.
Btw COMMENTS NOW AVAILABLE thanks Moni for the reminder :)
