but i know you people are anticipating it arent you?
so, enjoy! (:
11June2008 - Day 1
i was tired like a dog the night before cuz of crusade camp.
thank God i still manage to reach in time.
praying at HarbourFront before setting off.

she rejected junyan when he offered to help.

on our way to board the ferry!

the anshao peeps who went.
junyan, ah neh, jen, von, lunsiong, jo, est, shaun, zhiyang, lihao, grace and zhihan.
haha, laugh at my mother at the background
jen and my PT.
but i end up sleeping cuz i will get motion sickness.
some part of Singapore that i dunno where.
looks nice anyway.
whee~! we're at Harbour Bay Restaurant!
its lunch time & we're with our usual gang.

snail aka gong gong or whatever you call it.
*slurps*
our 6 course dish.
all half eaten cuz i was too hungry, heee.

i know its dessert la!
upon reaching the hotel...
*see the towel behind? its flying fox.
but dun ever try it. cuz no one has ever in a million years.*
while waiting at the lobby.
lepak around only.
the hotel is like so beee-you-teee-foool, but the surrounding is like *ahem*.
the highest towel there and we name it,
okay la, only i name it.
ding dong! let us in to playyyyy!
whee~! time to havoc with our neighbours!
okay, picture this with me.
jen and jo took the first room, est and i are beside them.
beside us are junyan and lunsiong, beside them are neh and xuanli.
the girls had connecting rooms and guys had connecting rooms.
cool boh?
this is my ex peer leader friend cum ex classmate cum my current churchmate cum siao gi na!
*eh, i feature you hor. dont say dun have ar!*

the hotel management had our church name placed outside the function room.
so junyan presenting to you...
*********** Room! (i forgot the name of the super-long-malay-name room)

our camp booklet, free pen plus kopi-susu gula!
before we split into our groups.
101 people who attended church camp, some got cut.
yea, blame it on my camera lens.
we love famous AMOS!
kailing and lele.
*speech bubbles added with great imagination*
my group, trying to figure out what to include in our buying list.
carol lao shi, my group leader.
this is badddd photo editting.
anw, that is jiacai, my group rep presenting our protected egg.
which in the end broke after falling from a great height ):
oh well, everyone else's broke too.
only the game organiser's egg survived the crash with cracks on the egg shell.
everyone happily watching the egg drop and crack.
i'm a big time stalker zoooming at them from the 4th level!
can you see the oh-so-sexy '"muscle"?
dont the tables look like delicious fruit tarts?
not swimming on the first day.
so we when over to disturb the guys only to find them wrapped up like...
after that, more and more people when down to swim.
all we did was to,
watch 同心圆!...
(looks wrong thou)
play with cards...
that are "not big" lor.
last but not least, take picture!
(yes PICTURE. one and only)
they even reserve the res-tau-rant for us!
dErXx nO sMoKiiN siiGn iiShh kaWaii deRXx lORxzx!
who's birthday, who's cake?
uncle fu an bought the cake to celebrate it with people who's birthday are coming.
zhang mu shi praying to bless those birthday peeps and for the food.
they have this flower on every table that is soooooo fake.
oh, that is lunsiong and the guys.
Late King!
well, it wasnt really his fault
20 mins before the meeting time, we realise that our room key, is accessible to other rooms!
how do we know?
cuz when we were singing in the guys room, uncle 世荣 came into our room and 'Eh!'
we were as shocked as he was.
so we went to try out.
our room key can open jen and junyan's room!
the freakiest thing of all is that when junyan was bathing, someone opened his door and said "Sorry, sorry!"
we created a mini whoo-ha, so all of us went down late.
but the guys were later.
i met my lao da - Mozzy King.
12June2008 - Day 2
due to the order of the camp commandant, we were advice not to take pics during activities as we hav professional photographers.
but obviously someone is sooo disobedient that he even took video during games lor.
i am so guai that the number of my pics decrease tremendously ):
led kids worship in the morning and evening.
they are cuteeeeee-ness but difficult to control.
i think they had much fun but i pity my poor guitarist.
thanks a million, neh! :D
we had our own hair cut, fringe-cut to be exact during the break.
*you can expect to see me with the retarded fringe in the rest of the post.*
stalker-von reports that the guys are bullying Skye!
haiyo.
dinner time at some 933 restaurant.
zhihan, joey and donald welcomes you!

as usual, the same gang of people.

dont kill me neh!
*points finger at est*

stop looking at him!
he is gonna peel your skin and eat you like like how he is eating the prawn!
ahem! they camwhored with my cam.

back in our rooms after all the programmes,

we took lots of crazy-fun and camwhore shots.



jo was happily playing that she knock into the side of the bed and injure herself!
i can float!
13June2008 - Day 3
last day spent in hotel.
we went to explore,
there are namely, goose, eagle, snake, squirrels, monkeys, birds and guinea pigs
the animals there are like few and pathetic.
some even look like its gonna die.
i think the crocodile is a tiko peh.
fiy, the mermaid is topless; not suitable for the young.
our last stop of mini-zoo, so everyone was crowding around.
whoooo~! hengli killed the croc!
est at the background trying to steal the limelight.
guess who is the headless fellow beside the topless mermaid?
HAHAHA, this is funny!
junyan was staring mindlessly into the water then neh did a sneak attack - trying to push junyan down.
junyan's after-shock reaction was to squeeeeeeeze neh's nipple!!
LAUGHS!
white elephant; useless.
view on the way back.
super nice, like some countryside house.
looking back at the zoo.
pretty but smelly.
a lao pok car that i think is probably stagnant there for 762374 years.
the game organisers already state that the games for the day will be full of violence.
so evil lor, they stick the kids up on the wall.
joey was so afraid that she cried the moment she 'touch-down'.
the next game is freaking funny!
rule: the bamboo thingy MUST touch everyone's finger at all times and together, we must put the bamboo on the floor.
BUT when everyone is shouting "down!", they move their fingers UP!
reason being, everyone's finger is suppose to touch the bamboo thing.
unkknowingly, when they are trying to touch the bamboo, they move the stick up, up, up!
let's adopt a kid each!
i hav joey, jen have angel (thou i think she wants amos more) and est with lele (the policeman).
now, tell me why is Emergency Exit 非常口?
all i notice is that the characters still make sense even if you look at it from another side.
had our dinner at the tourguide's wedding.
we were super early so the place was empty.
okay, that was a lie!
that was the outside of the VIP room that we were in.
we are stuck in the small room, BOO!
...... SENG!
you'll have to agree that the food is getting better each day.
this always happens: More Than 1 Plate Of The Same Dish.
the tour guide told us that this is some King's Res-Tau-Rant.
but i dun see King Restaurant at any of the signboard.
no Alpha for the last night, it was ZMDS + Anshao Band leading the worship and we had Bible Quiz!
the officials are collating the overall points.
a few of us saw the miscalculations in the points but didnt raise it up. HEHE.
cuz it doesnt matter, the first is still first and the second remains.
aiyo, est and neh, what are your doing behind auntie's back ar?
act cute caught in action!
group photo of the camp comm.
for the last night, we had a loooooooooong chat with ZMDS.
from the room, we went down to the lobby then we went back to the room.
exciting siaaaaaaaaaaaazxz.
it was a good long talk, probably the first and the last.
14June2008 - Day 4
last photo taken on the last day in our room.
intinery for the day will be SHOPPING!
we went to a provision shop then we moved on the the Kuey Lapis factory.
i was expecting a huge factory with machines.
but this is way cooler.
the moment we step in, the nice egg smell greeted us.
and instead of machines, its all human work!
the coolest thing is that they serve us with the kuey lapis and coffee or tea that they made, for FREEEEE!
yummy kuey lapis, yummy-ier than yummyyvonne.
we very much enjoyed our time there.
HAHAHA at my unglam mother!
totally candid.
a palace look-a-like thing near the factory out for sale!
anyone?
up next, Polo Ralph Lauren.
made and imported from America.
there's 20% discount card for it, which is like a few thousand dollars discount.
not forgetting, its in RUPIAH!
laughs*
joey and i, obviously not interested in the oh-so-expensive clothes.
our bus, number 1.
this is Polo, just Polo.
made in Jarkarta.
which makes it sooo much cheaper than Polo Ralph Lauren.
even the facade and the location look cheapo.
the 2nd level has lots of pretty cheap Polo and there's Puma jacket!
but mum refuses to buy any.
for lunch, it'll be in Batam City Square.
they have Seoul Garden, Breeks and many more siolxzxz.
lunch at Shangrila!
whose wedding is it this time?
they have a pond to look at delicious fishes.
our lunch table with the 2 gay right in front.
lunsiong, sit properly please~!
jiahuan, cheryl and i spells C-U-T-E-N-E-S-S!
doesnt this look like a potrait of a happy family?
hengli is ultra cute!
oh man, dont you just love kids?
before meal prayer.
whoo~! Shark's Fin!
better known as Starch.
nanny Jen and Amos.
now you get what i mean, we are called the Excess-Food-Clearing Table
nicest dessert out of the 4 days - Longan and Almond Jelly.
last but not least and the best, SHOPPING at Nagoya Hill!
we end up playing Go-Kart at the top level.
first round was with jo, jen, est and neh.
then i had extra battery so i can play 20secs with natnat, shaun, lihao and zhiyang.
they bully natnat!
the girls played for freeee!
not that the guys treated us, Glen (jen and jo's neighbour) did.
like what a coincidence, jen and jo saw her neighbour in batam!
zhang mu shi, shi mu and zmds used to be from his church, cool!
est, you're torturing the little black pony.
very funny est, you took a supposedly scandalous photo of me and neh with my camera.
*okay, i look super short beside him*
after Go-Kart-ing, est and i went to find the sports shop that zhihan mentioned.
on our way, we saw lunsiong.
so we dragged him there and had speed shopping cuz he wants to finish spending all his money.
at the departure area, coming back to s'pore.
on our way back, we saw a sinking ship.
according to junyan, it has been there for a long long time.
a random ship.
nope, they are not praying.
they are playing with cards.
while the rest of us took peeeektures.
look at this, junyan took this without flash.
i took this without flash too!
and i think its a good self-snap shot considering the fact that my hands are not that long, all of our faces are in and it is not that blur.
can you see the ferries wheel?
a nice view from inside our ferry.
that's abt it, all about my church camp.
up next will be mission trip and crusade camp which will probably take me another few weeks.
cont to stay tune!
and so sorry for the wait and the endless buggings!
aaron is sleeping in a very awkward position.
since aaron is sleeping, i should probably go and sleep too!
goodnight. :D
[edited: 0020]
p/s: the stupid lunsiong just reminded me that i misplaced my Converse jacket there!!
bahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY REBECCA!
