okie, the camp turned out well although there were some areas that cld be improved, like having more time for the leaders to relax and let the rest run the camp..hee.
i spend the first day of the camp practically outside the camp.. after setting up the sound system, father jj and me set out @ 1pm to get some items for the systems but ended up with a lot more things. we went to swee lee first, then to plaza singapura, sim lim square and lastly to paradize center to pick up adel and daphne. we came back at about 7 odd, did sound check and heave a sigh of relief when everything was working well. did a last minute checks on things and went for dinner with father, daphne and leslie @ a nearby kopitiam. after dinner, i was off again - tis time to pick up cristy from sembawang. came back at about ten and took a long deserved shower, the rest were still having their walk up the hill and i just chilled out with nico gab till it was lights out.
woke up at 5.45am, the guys were still asleep but some the girls at the next room were already awake as i told them to wake up at five. sorry, gals there was last minute changes - the guys were not informed but they still slept like a log and man, u should have seen their faces when they woke up - disorientated and blur... hahaha..
we walked up to mount faber where we had our morning reflections and breakfast. jamie told them that they are going to have an amazing race kinda game but it will be called stairway to heaven. they were told that there will be station masters at each checkpoints and they will also have to question ten strangers to find out what christmas meant to them. so off they went to orchard road, city hall and other areas in town to each stations finding their own ways and means to get there. while father, jamie, don & deb (both not feeling well), jessy and me headed back to camp.
back in camp, don took a power nap, jamie tried to but her phone rang every now and then, jessy was on the keyboards entertaining us while debs and i tried to solve the jigsaw puzzle which will have to be used later that night.. jessy later joined us and alas, we managed to solve it and debs numbered it correctly. (thanks debs & jessy for helping out!) we were still contemplating where to have lunch when jamie told us that lunch has to wait coz the first group just passed the last station. so we came down and waited for all the teams to arrive.. chels' team came in first coz they managed to squeeze five people in the car thus beating eugene's team. the next team to arrive was daffy's team and the last was leslie's team who took another route up to church while we waited for them at the front....hie!! anyways, chels' team won a $50 secret recipe voucher... *applause*.

wld like to blog more of the camp but u have to be there to experience it but i wld just like to add this:
- leslie, i know how stress u were when nobody listens to you and the pressure u got from us..but u managed it all well. you did well, kid and i guess u have matured during the camp. keep up the good work!!
- denise really impress some of us given that she's only eleven. once she came up to jamie and asked her if she could be a leader for the amazing race; and the other time she came up to a bunch of us and reminded us that we should be practising for the the skits and i think i was very brave of her considering the fact that she's the youngest in the camp.
- bell, thanks for helping out when we needed the extra hand and watching over denise.
- to everyone else... the fun has just begun... together we could make the youth group a driving force of our parish!!
