Yes... I'm finally back for all those who still bother to read... Anyway, There are many things to blog about so I'll start with the earliest one...

Church Camp 5-8th Dec

Yup, the theme was Arise and Bulid.

At first I felt it was only an okay camp... I guess cause of the amount of free time the guys had... HAHA, I remember the church camp two years back, there were so much stuff to do! Especially the captain's ball session we had with the adults and young adults! Too bad this year round we didn't have any at all! Not even during the holidays... I guess I'm mostly the one organising all these captain ball outings, so once I'm not free, no one esle really organises these outings :P... And since Angela's out of town, there won't be any till end Dec to early Jan :P

Anyway, back to main topic... I had a nice quiet sharing group... But when it came to games... We OWN!! LOL, I mean we got third place :P... Benjamin BENJAMIN!! XD For the amazing race, we were like only walking around to every place and not even running HAHA it was amazing that we even got 3rd place overall :)... Anyway, the games were refreshing, I guess cause the girls planned it, it kinda resembled children ministry games :D... But THAT doesn't mean its childish, it was fun! HAHA

This camp I really spent alot more time with my cell group (guys one)... Well cause 1) The girls didn't really come over and play bridge or tiati this camp round, I guess they had stuff on; 2) The guys shared a room together? So yea, we kinda met quite often :P... Sometimes Gyming with Andre.. Or slacking with Jo/ Matthew depending who was in the room... This time, camp really answered my question on true friends... Yes and thats you all man! People whom you can trust and believe in for a long time to come! :)

Leading Worship in camp was a nice experience as well... It felt easier to do repeats, or adjust the tempo for songs easier on the spot... Well, fast songs were a killer without drums and if your bassist or guitar are lost... You're in for it HAHA! XD But anyways, When you can hear the singing of the people of the church, your heart warms cause everyone there is just really there for worship. To sing praises to God, you know? :)

As I was saying, I only thought it was an okay camp... Well, until the last night and last day of camp... Found the problems in my life... And In the morning when I heard the sharing about Esther and Sam I cried so badly... I asked myself why? It couldn't be just because of Esther... I mean I do miss her... But not that much...

So what was it?

I left early to get back to Singapore on the last day of camp to catch the night flight for Paris later that day... And I was searching for that answer... And it became evident to me what I was crying out for...

My lost love for learning... The word...

Well shall not really elaborate cause it would be really really long... And its kinda special to me, so I only plan to share to some ppl :P..

Moving on....

Paris 8-12th Dec

Yes Paris... I shall upload pics soon...

It was a real rush since the flight was 13 hours... It didn't really leave our family much time to go look see look see... So we did as much as we could in that little span of time... I went to effiel tower! Super nice :P And serveral other places... But I'll leave that till the pictures come.. Then I'll explain in greater detail :)

Finally,

CO outing 13th Dec

Since I was still on leave for CO, I guess I was lazy and all... So I legally skipped the morning combine practice to go for the CO outing in the afternoon to support our fellow percussionist Jun Yang! Well, before Jun Yang's performance, there was the ensemble portion of the compietition... Where I got to see all the PRO erhu and well practically EVERY SECTION pro people... Thats the difference btwn School standards and outside CO standards.. Ah but Whatever! Just goes to show I needa practice!

I saw many familiar faces too! I only said hi to one... But after that experince... I decided not to say hi anymore XD... Just leave some messages behind in MSN or smth XD

Jun Yang was SUPER funny on stage :P... He was acting as if he was in some drama serial! HAHA but I enjoyed his performance... I guess thats the difference between Pros and Noobs like me :P...

Well, thats about all for now... I'll comment more next time :)
