Church Camp ROX!

Day 1:
Got to church at 10a.m. Then we played games and we got to know our "family"! There are four families and there are Laska (Or as Sarah calls it "Laksa"), Dragoste, Amour and Rakkaus (My family! These group names for our family mean the same thing in 4 different languages--that is LOVE. Cause our theme for the camp is 让爱走动. There is a papa and mama in every group too. We 're just like one big fun family. We designed our Rakkaus flag too and I love it! Then we had lunch and more games till about 4pm when we headed to Changi Aloha Chalet--our campsite.

Before dinner we had station games and it was so stupid and fun. There was one part where we lost to a group and we had to eat a lot of sauces with bread. Yuck. And another part when we saw Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and he waved at us! And Sen He asked who was Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong!?!? Grr.. When it was real dark and we were gathered at Chalet H, Jun Hui(our youth pastor) asked Yang Yang(Camp Committee leader) to come in a fierce voice and there both went upstairs and they started shouting and throwing stuff and I thought it was real but then Jun Hui came downstairs and said Yang Yang was dead and I knew that it was just a murder game where we go searching for clues in other chalets!

And then there was a room that seem to have no one in it and "mama" opened the door and Wen Qi jumped out and scared us! Everyone was like screaming....But the best part was that Rakkaus was the closest to solving the murder! Yay.

Day 2:
Kayaking FUN! We went kayaking and it was oh so fun!!!!!!We kayak towards the Singapore Flyer and then the instructors played some games with us while we were still on the river and then we kayaked back. My hands were like aching!!! Plus, I am burnt by the Sun(especially my nose..)

And we also did mass dance! (For finale night) I love mass dance.. You had to find a boy partner(if you are a girl) and dance some steps together. I quite like the steps. But mass dance turned out to be messy dance..

At night, there was service and after that we had to write encouragement stuff..

Day 3:
AMAZING RACE - Pulau Ubin
It was so fun and tiring. Once, we had to travel on foot for 30 minutes befor we reached a station! Once we completed the stations, we realised that the ending point was at Pasir Ris Park and 2 groups and us were racing to the ending point. 3 groups got on the bus and when the bus got to Pasir Ris Park, the bus door opened and everyone ran to the ending point like crazy!!Out of the 3 groups we got there last..(The other 5 groups arrived much much later.)

And then our family dicussed the skit which we were performing at the finale. (It was about Joseph) And we made the skit so funny with all the singlish and modifications to the story..

Finale!!
Campfire and dinner's a good combination!!!!After dinner we did mass dance!!!It was so so so so fun. Everyone went this way and that. Like some people went left and the others went right. Then it was skit time. The skits were so funny and everyone had a great time laughing their head off.

After the skit, it was time to announce the overall winning family! And Rakkaus won! YAY! We were each given a $10 Starbucks Coffee voucher. Then Amour and Laska went off to chalet 1st while the other families waited. All the Rakkaus played games together just like a family does. it was so fun playing. And there was forfeits too. Betram, Sean and En Hui ended doing the forfeit which was Jackpot!

I tried to stay up late cause it was the last night but I still went to sleep at 2.30am after I played cards.

Conclusion:
Rakkaus ROCKS. I love my 'family'! I would like to thank the camp committee (Huilin, Yang Yang, Si Hui, Shu Min, Wen Qi) for organising such an unforgettable and fun camp!
