Teens devo camp!!!!! Yay left house at like 11, WITH A MASK because of the haze. And camp ain't cancelled I'm glad of that. :) but luckily we reached church before the PSI level rose to a dangerous 400+. We met Theo first and we skyped Thimoro, Mara and Chealin who were in school. Chealin and Mara wore different uniforms and I'm like ooh. And okay I got to know my group, we're in group 4 with Bantzu Jasmine Steffanie Sarah Dylan Isaac Neal and Jordan. And yup we killed time until 1 talking to the rest of the teens who came early. Plus did I mention there were many typos in the name list And at 1.30 or something we gathered and we watched a really really amazing opening clip. The combination of whale and star sounds, and it sings a song to the tune of "How Great is Our God." It was really amazing, God is amazing. And we had worship, singing that song and others, including the theme song, Higher. :) and yup we first gathered in our groups for prayer and did our goals on what to Grow in, as that's the theme for the retreat. Like erm, first time group prayer with the brothers. Afterwards we thought of group name, we came up with many names and in the end we settled with 4OR GOD. :-) we had a mini discussion about tomorrow's performance, our theme was God's mercy, forgiveness. But well pretty much the whole time everyone was talking in weird accents! And then we headed to the third floor for games! The first game was like a jeopardy where they showed the answer and we had to ask the question. And first we had to fulfil tasks like turning 10 rounds (that is very dizzy I am serious) then having to suck a pudding finish with your partner before running on stage with or without a helpline. Wow. I went with Bantzu and we asked Zhizhong (he said he set the question) hahaha and yay LOL. Afterwards we had to go hunt around the church for true Bible verses and even before the workers finished explaining the games, the teens were already running everywhere LOL. I had a disadvantage cos of my height.  but yup we went up and down and left and right and I only found a pathetic one. I think all were found super easily LOL. And our group gathered in front of stage to discuss and we handed in like 11 pieces? And all correct! Yayerz! Afterwards we took a group picture :-) by then ut was dinner time and we had Duncan the youngest christian to pray for us xD the sisters were sitting in a circle on the floor while the brothers had table....... talked with Elaine and Theo about the Cambodian teens xD and we played the tookitooki game with Robbie Celine Dayna and Theo and Tricia where I laughed like siao because it was really reallu very funny. And we had lesson by Uncle Vincent and aunty Jane about embracing our purpose and weakness. We had to sit brother sister kinda way but I sat between tianyi and theo cos theo's a brother I suppose. :P afterwards we went to talk to aunty Jane too! Hahahaha funny la :p and had d group discussion. Afterwards it was free and easy for the rest of the night. Shower time wasn't so rush and I could shower for almost as long as I want in a CAMP!!! So I'm like yay! And took pictures ;) and we played mafia too like one big group of people. Heh. And before we slept us and theo and elaine went to the childcare there and skype Yean ahahahaha. And we went in and talk and talk and talk and slept at 2.

Woke up at 6am omg so tired la and washed up and prepared. Had breakfast otot until like 8 and er was opening a packet of bread and both the bread flew out what. And we gathered to have devo and lesson by uncle land :) afterwards had prayer with my group sisters! ^^ after prayer we all gathered back for the first games! The first game was literally bonding game for the group LOL all of us had to tie our hands together and had to find a mentor and solve a question. We found uncle Sonny in the lift even though we missed him a few times xD and we were glad after that one so we just sat at the third floor and discussed the question. We solved with OUR HANDS STILL TIED so well done group4! And then Neal had to read the psalm a lot of tines xD apparently it was wrong and so we sat at the second floor sofa to discuss again and it was correct and we finally untied! We were the first group! Hohoho! Second game was almost the same but this time we had to tie our hands in pairs and find water bottles around the church. It was NEWSPAPER WAR LITERALLY with flying newspaper and bottles. Our group didn't even find a bottle hahaha xD and by the way this game was Neal's idea so yay. Afterwards we had a break for 2 hours plus lunch where us and theo and sometimes Elains skyped with Yean, Hour (Yean's twin) and Vanthan (Thimoro's elder brother) COOL. and at 4 we had a lesson by Addis, keep calm and run the race. Again we had to sit brother sister brother sister so our row was Theophilia Gabriel Me Thaddaeus Robbie Cedric hahahaha! And before service we camwhored with Gabriel's phone xD D group discussion before we had to begin planning for the skit. We had different and many crazy ideas and our end product was indeed a crazy one. We had Ming Ming Ming private industry where Dylan MrMing was the boss I was the translator MingMing and Isaac was the bodyguard XiaoMing plus Bala who was Sarah, Siti was Bantzu and two narrators Jasmine and Steffanie. I had to speak in both chinese and english accent gah hahaha and The way Dylan says ming too hilarious I couldn't keep a straight face though I should >< and basically our skit was about mercy and forgiveness. And it was show time! 4 skits first ( spiritual hipsters, solid ground, US, the seeds) and we had buffet dinner. BUFFET DINNER. B U F F E T. D I N N E R. IN A CAMP GUISE BUFFET! Hahahaha before another 3 groups performed (the haze, mustards, humble p i e) and I had a great laugh during all the performances !!  afterwards we had prize presentation and 4OR GOD GOT 3RD PLACING YAY TEAM 4 YOU ROCK! And we had sharings by Eugene Renee Sarah Zena Xueyi Angela and Spencer before we sang a last time of Higher, the theme song and took a teens group picture! My first retreat with the teens, although it was a hazy one, but I enjoyed myself thoroughly. :)

27/6/13
woke up and did nothing. Left house at 11.30 for movie with da people! Waited at Yishun for Elysia. And we met Dayna and Gabriel who waited for Duncan there too. Duncan was walking with swag LOL. And then Elysia came and we went to Wendy's to meet Robbie Kyla and Tricia, where we had lunch. And Joseph came. And we just talked and laughed LOL. Duncan kept wanting to watch White House Down but others World War Z LOL. And I voted for white house down cos wwz was about zombies (and you know i cant stand them). But ah since we had a lot of time we walked around northpoint. So saikang warriors and the escalator. Le sigh. But yeah we went around and around until at 2 we headed back to the cinema. Got some snacks first before going into the cinema. World war z this is it. I almost died. The zombies are like omg i cannot take it. And I was like omg what and covered my ears. And I ate my popcorns to take my mind off from the zombies but it didnt work. LOL omg I survived 2 hours of that zombie movie, really... and afterwards we headed our own ways. Took the train with dayna and tricia. :) and duncan and his lame jokes really last warning ah....
