we assembled at South View Primary school, took a bus to... St. Andrew's Cathedral home for the aged!!!
there, the girls sang songs, had lunch! and played a few games..
and Rachel got a blister!! hha!! no la, it was food stuck on her foot.. hha.. but looks like one big blister.. hha!
After that, we moved off to the campsite!!! hha.. all i know was that i was super duper tired.. =) and it rained!!! living proof with Elissa running to shelter.. hehe!
played games, introduced the groups "Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, and Gentleness" I'm in Kindness!!! Elissa's in Peace! =D
played dress up? hha.. then the "warriors" had to fight it out!!! Oh no!! lol...
hha.. after that the helpers were taken out to help in the next series of games, which is the station games.. didn't take much photos.. SORRY! hehe.. but it was fun!! i was with my group the whole time.. lol.. and especially the captain fruits (captain ball), the fruits were disgusting.. hha!
Didn't take much anymore for the rest of the day.. all i remember was that i had to go prepare the firewood, and i realised that there wasn't enough Kerosene, so Elissa and Violet started calling people.. hha.. but it was fun chopping woods and soaking.. though we missed song and praise!
At night the Lightstix helpers went to meet Gladys for a time of prayer and worship. it was great. I reflected upon the day and realised that there are many areas in which i can improve in.
2nd day...16th Nov
Woke up early again for prayer and worship. ahh!!! a great way of starting the day!! =) even made milk tea!! my favourite drink..
we went for song and worship...
and boy were the helpers tired out...
Still, we had to help out in the amazing race to VivoCity!!!! i didn't take pictures though.. =( but it was great fun!!! hha, i was one of the station master... so funny to see the girls run to me.. hhe... and i even used the free time i had to write cards for my Mortal and my group members.. =D
After that, went back to the campsite and started preparing for the campfire. the guys, namely LeFa, Matthew and Sean helped out.. =) and ta da!!! wood is properly placed!!!
throughout the night the campfire was ongoing, with Elissa, Celine and me being the MCs.. almost shout until no voice.. hha.. but it was definitely cool.. DEFINITELY!!! in the end Matthew, Sean, and me threw all the kerosene into the fire (needed to finish it all), and yea!! it was a big fire!!! hha.. and i managed to avoid being wet.. haha...
the helpers were definitely very tired.. and it was the prize presentation next! took the time to rest myself.. woohoo!! and bathed.. before having the meeting, my group girls started playing "eagle catch chick" (translate to chinese)... hha super funny!!! oh well, the meeting was great too!! only we were super tired..
once all the rest slept, i went back to the canteen to finish up writing the cards, and went to cool off the fire.. before going to sleep too.. =)
3rd day... 17th Nov
woke up early again to finish clearing off the fire, but to my amazement, the Uncles at the campsite had already cleared it up!! saved me the energy.. hehe..
the campers were still sound asleep...
hha.. off course we had to clear up the area and i made winged hearts for the girls in my group.. man i'll really miss them alot.. =) so sad i didn't manage to take pics with them using my phone.. only took with WeeJin's camera...
we broke camp and headed back to the school!! and guess who my mortal is.. HAHA!! IT'S ELISSA!!!!!!! she was so shocked.. hehe!!!
yep!! camp was great! but super tiring.. haha.. had lots of fun!!!!

Judas planned to do something to show the people which man was Jesus. Judas said, "The man I kiss is Jesus. Arrest him and guard him while you lead him away." So Judas went to Jesus and said, "Teacher!" Then Judas kissed Jesus. Then the men grabbed Jesus and arrested him. -- Mark 14:44-46 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT: How sadly ironic! Judas betrays the one who loves him most with a kiss. For everyone whose heart has been broken by someone he or she loves, this is a great reminder that Jesus knows those deep feelings of betrayal and loss. Here is a Savior in whom we can confide. He knows our dashed hopes and our broken hearts. He promises to strengthen us and be with us in our dark hours of need. Most of all, he promises to dry every single tear from our eyes and welcome us home.
TODAY'S PRAYER: Father in heaven, betrayal by someone we love is such a deep and cutting wound that many of us on your small blue planet never recover. Thank you for reminding us -- reminding me -- that Jesus knows this deep bitter sorrow firsthand and can help us in our time of need. In Jesus' name. Amen.
SASA a.k.a MISS RANDOM
