Day1
Young teens retreat! :D saw Elysia at the church busstop so we fetched her along to the hardcourt which was our assembling area. A lot of people were there already, but duh there were some later than us. So we just fellowshiped around and Theo introduced us to her dear friend Leah. :) afterwards the mentors settled some logistics matter and we started the day singing a few songs to praise God. But I'm not so sure of some lyrics. And there was poor contribution and a short lesson my uncle Richard. Then we were distributed in our groups. I was in the same group as Theo, Leah, Ashley, Joseph, Daniel, Samuel and Justin. :) and we split up and made a group name, group cheer, and a group banner. Our group name was Daring Dreamers! :D yay! Other groups are Mer1di△n, Dun-can, Xclusive Limits, Fantasy4 and Flying Penguin! :D gosh and that Joey kept coming after me for a cheer and then I went over to help. But Davis wouldn't give me the piece of paper and Nicholas slapped my hand wut. Okay anyway, afterwards, each group came up and explained the meaning of the flag and presented their cheer. Then we proceeded to head to Changi Aloha Resort! :D but our bus took a lil some time to come. Sat with Daynzxc. And the whole time Theo was like pedo-ing on Joseph? LOLOL. Laughed so much during the busride. And also passed by the jetty to pu. Oh, those times. And soon, we reached Changi Aloha Chalet. There we decided our rooms and made ourselves comfortable and killed time all the way until 3, talking and all. Then we assembled and had ice breaker games. The first one was erm awkwarddd? Then the price game hehehehehehehe and I so called partnered Nick hahahaha. And banana whacko for those born on the first part of the year 8) COOL LIKE THAT YO. And those born at the later part of the year played with a normal ball. Well our game was obviously more fun. But luckily I didn't banana hit. :P then we had a short lesson by Martin Philix and Rachel Louis, who are currently in the teens. Inspiring sermont of theirs, I really like it. You know the feel at camp with the teens teaching. And after the 1hour long lesson, we had dinner and then free and easy. Well most of the sec2s I should say, stayed at the workers' quarter. And we just fellowshipped there. Some played cards. And I sat there laughing LOL. Because of Alwin and Duncan, they used the eye drop thingy and sprayed on people's hair, and they kept disturbing Nicole, and Duncan evenhanged the clock's timing. Wow, I've never seen this side of Duncan before! And then Daniel, Joseph, Clement, Ray and a few others kept scaring us from the window as our back was facing the window. >< well I should say really really had fun fellowshipping with them. :)
Day2
After morning breakfast and quiet time, we had the Changi Challenge! :D which was pretty much like the amazing race. :) hehe. So we all took turns to be leaders and all. I apologise because its already one month since retreat and I kinda forgot the order of our stations so yar. Our first station was at the sailing place there, where we all had to stand on a piece of material and flip it over without falling out. We had to try a couple of times thoughh. >< but we still managed to get it. The second station, well, brave Leah is brave she asked people where the second station was and indeed, we found it. :D that station was a LOL. Its like we had to sit in a circle and a paper in the middle. We had to hold the ends of the string which was attatched to a marker and copy a drawing. With much teamwork and determination, we did it. :) we even cheered after we completed a stroke. Because Daring Dreamers are awesome like that. 8) then we had to walk a super long way to the next station. And at the next station well, we had to move ourselves to another side of the place and we couldnt touch the strings. Pretty much what they did at sembawang challenge camp. We had to redo and redo and redo all over again. In the end, we managed to get 6 people across. I was one of the heavy ones argh. >< so it was embarrassing. We wasted like a lot of time there, trying to figure out which way was the best and all. Next station was something like a minefield. We had to wait cos another group was before us. LOL blindfolded and another person to guide you and you can't step on the tape at all. We restarted like twice or thrice? But not bad lah people. :) then we walked a super long way because we had to go back to our campsite. However, lost sheeps we are and we made a u turn around walked a longggg way back to our camp site. There we did pur next station. We had to make a tall tower out of spaghetti (long thin strips of stuff) and marshmallows (totally gross) ah. Ours was like dk how many cm lah. :P the next was we had to fill up a water balloon, and cream was put on it and a partner had to "shave" if off, just that our shave didn't work. And there was once we were awarded points because Jerry poked and burst Theo's balloon xD and her reaction was (y) totally. Got some cream in my hair but whatever. Saw group 6 there too and they were having lunch. And we had our lunch there, trying to think of our next location but we just. Couldnt. Get. The. Clue. So we were wondering and wondering, using our free tine after lunch trying to figure things out. Even when our lunch was over, we wandered around changi, trying to find any young teen worker. And that was when we saw group 6 and we followed them. >:) we stopped at a wrong station and then we followed. And when they saw the worker we all ran LOL. But I gave up halfway. :P but there were 2 people there so we could still play. This game was the most interesting one. Muah chee. Oh gosh. You know that right. Yes, we had to dip ourselves into the sea and afterwards ROLL ON THE SAND. Hello pity us cos the tide was low and our sand wasn't fine sand anymore. And then collect the sand into a bucket. We dud that for like half an hour and I felt like a machine. Sea -> sand -> bucket. Repeat. LOL. Yup seriously we were racing for timeeeeeeeeeee. And I was halfway tired but kept going. And everyone else too. LOL and at one point Timothy was like "eh help the Jo what ah" I WAS WEARING MY CLASS TEE DUDE. LOL. And at the end of our muah chee game, we did our own group cheer. :) and it started drizzling but who cares, we proceeded to our next and last station, though we missed one, at the changi jetty. Ah those cca leaders camp times. There, we had to skip and read out psalm 119. Gosh I was such a noob at this game. >< I was almost there and then I suddenly lost momentum and all. And it was at this station when James and Julia joined. After this station, we proceeded back to the camp area. Talked a lil with Julia while walking. :) and I also waited for her while she got her bag and all and brought her to the chalet there. AND I WASHED UP. AH ALL THE SAND BYEBYE. LIKE FINALLY. Ah. We actually had a bbq dinner but because it was drizzling, it was changed to become a buffet dinner at the guy's bunk. :) I was sitting beside Ray heh. ;) then Theo Leah Sean Cedric played Taitee. LOL SEAN. Nathan's friend. He's so cuteeeee and his hair is so nice to touch okay. And he plays cards just likea laoqian. Then after that some of us went to our bunk and I just went to get some aircon 8) hehehe. All the way till 9 or something, we assembled at the "parade square" and we had a briefing for night walk. Some didnt go. It was interesting LOL. Actually was guys first but because theo went in front er chased her and so we were mixed with the guys. And Ray. Oh Ray. HE HAD A CRAB LEG IN HIS MOUTH TO SCARE PEOPLE. He even picked it up when it dropped on the ground. Ray ah. ._. And then there was this part when uncle Roger and uncle Richard told ghost storied and I'm there fanning myself. :P and then uncle Richard kept scaring us by standing behind us but I managed to keep my cool LOL. And the two cousins are so cuteeee! They held hands and hooked arms awww. <3 it wasnt really creepy but interesting. And on the way back Nick sang blue skies and rainbows aww he's such a cute guy. After the night walk we directly went to our chalet and slept. LIKE A LOG. Oh and before that me and Leah and Theo and Joey went taking pictures. Heh. I took pics with Sean THAT CUTE GUY, Leah DUH and Daniel THAT COOL DUDE.
