Back from con camp 07
Yey! Finally back to my good old bed! Feels good after like 3 nights of the hard floor and crazy waking up hours. Like everyday we had to wake up at 6.30am. Who wakes up at such an ungodly hour?! Sleeping hours were at 11pm. Earliest in like at least 5 years for me, and its like Father Brian really made sure we slept. Sat there and stared at us in the dark for like a long long time, and flashing his torchlight at those who dared to defy the sleeping orders. -_-"
Okay, I hate camps in general, but this one was more than tolerable. I actually enjoyed it somehow. =) The games weren't bad, though we got like super wet during Fr Brian's station. It was like we were suppose to hold up this basin of water with our legs in the air. The basin fell on my group like 3 times, drenching us with water. In the end, Fr was like "thank you very much for wasting so much water." Grrrr....
Sessions were quite nice too actually. I loved Fr Luke's session on explanation of mass. He made the mass like as low as possible. It was like so cool and he was so funny.
The camp was fun but very tiring. I'm so not accustomed to long days anymore.
Its like day one we had sessions, games and more sessions. Ice breakers and stuff.
Day two, more sessions, more games and more sessions. We had wet games and dry games too, and we had praying-over sessions, which was really cool. Many of them were crying by the end of it. Then since it was the feast of Corpus Christi the day after, we had the exposition of the Blessed Sacrement.
Day three was like even more sessions, even more games and even more sessions. Haha! We had the scavanger hunt, in which we rummaged through the rubbish bins around church trying to find rats and cockroaches and big fat red ants. Then we had reconcilliation wif parents and washing of feet. Mum and Dad came down. Like they scared the hell outta me with their letter and they actually came down to church on both nights!!! Then I washed their feet and they washed mine. Haha! So fun and super touching.
Day four was a little more relaxing. We had a long long breakfast at my facil, Andre's house. We tapao-ed from Hup Seng. So nice..... Andre's house was like so big and his mum was like so nice. Then we had reconcillion back at church. So I did my confession to Fr Brian, face to face. I guess it was okay, since it was Fr Brian. Make me feel less nervous about face to face confessions. Anyway after that it was party time. Haha, and cleaning up.
So okay, I admit, the camp was fun. I didn't think I'll survive the 4 days in camp, but I did! At the end, I think we all felt kinda sad to end the camp, partly because Fr Brian's leaving. This is like his last con camp with IHM church. At least I know I did feel kinda sad. He's a good priest, I feel. Strict, but still good and fun and I'll miss his sweets. Those he will distribute to the kids after Sunday mass. Yeah, I'll ask for some sometimes. Of which he will say no... because I haven't been good all week. Haha!
So its goodbye, Fr Brian and welcome, Fr Luke.......
Hmm... By the way, I think i should start thinking about which ministry to join after confirmation...
Okay, gotta sleep. So tired out. Sheesh...
