Camp Shout Part 2

we had a quick supper then slept at 2. awkening next morning at 8.30. not enough sleep for me. at least they excused me from stretches an warmups, and after breakfast i went to school.

on the bus, there was this crazy old woman talking loudly to anyone nearby who would hear. she was saying stuff about religion or christianity... not sure if shes actually for or against it. i went over to sit just behind her but still cant hear clearly. heard "satan" and "devil" a few times. she seemed to be condemning. she also mentioned that shes from japan, and many ppl doubt japanese christians. then she took out a old, torn and rugged bible with a bookmark that showed a young woman's picture. she said " i am this woman in the bible!" then some other stuff that suggested shes some great historical figure. at the next bus stop, the bus driver stood up and said "auntie, u come here la. stand beside me and teach me. no need to shout in the bus."

my school ended an hour early, and i could have gone to join everyone at west cost for afternoon games without having missed much of it, but i had earlier told my friend who was in the finals of some ambassador competition that i would be there to support her that afternoon. well that turned out to be a good choice cos the afternoon game was cancelled due to rain and i reached church just in time for everyone else to return, wet and deprived of the fun war game.

while everyone was Qing up for the toilet cubicles, i wrote another letter to my mortals and this time gave some sweets. i found a fruit tips in my sock and a even worse-handwriting reply saying hes not left handed, but deliberately writing bad. joyce had no clue who her angel was. sometimes i try to ask questions. she also told my group during dinner about her angel and expected it to be a younger guy. perhaps im younger at heart. its kinda fun to hear ppl talking abt me when they dont know who theyre talkin abt.

the last camp dinner was very obviously the best. western cuisine of pork chop or chicken chop with coleslaw, fries and spags. the last camp session after dinner took really long. cos after the sermon was the altar call session, which usually takes up half the time. much greater response from everyone this time. but somehow less ppl went into sobbing or isolation mode. and halfway thru, due to a sudden surge of comfort, i started laughing. but im not crazy.

our last supper was also the best. 4 whole boxes of donut factory donuts, which are the best donuts i eaten to date. and i finally found out where evryone goes to at night and leaving the place feeling so empty. dunno y the debriefs had to be done in such a cramped n secluded place. i hanged around doing nth much.. picking some food and waited until a the horde of committee members emerged from the aplha office at 2am. then i decided not to stay up longer since theres nth to do, and set the record as the first to sleep. apparently some didnt sleep at all.

nothing much happened on the last day of camp, as was for most of other camps as well. the last few hours are just spent packing up, cleaning the place and doing wraping up procedures like presentation of prizes and revelation of angels. my angel turned out to be a younger guy, which is Isaac. he generously put in 2 more chocolates b4 giving me my sock. joyce was sitting at a corner waiting for her angel to appear. then when i gave her her sock she took a while to believe me cos it turned out im an elder guy who has been around her thru the camp, listening to whatever she said about her angel. as for joel, he was emotionless when i gave im his sock.

the mayans achieved the 9th position.... out of 9 groups. This time we couldnt say "at least we are not last." But oh well, we may be last, but definitely not least!! =)
