"True Worship" Camp

Three letters... W.O.W!! The camp is awesome! I've made a lot of friends there, re-made a lot of friends there cause last time when we met we seldom talked, had a lot of fun, and of course, I've learned so much!

The people from our church that went there are Me, Andrew, Peter, Adam, Cheah Ping and Eunice...

On the 1st day, we played games such as water games... Our team got 1st place in the games...Our team is team Esther... And the funny thing is our team cheer: We got...nobody nobody but you... Esther!! haha... And believe it or not... Xue Ting splashed water at me and covered my face with flour! ==
That night, we listened to a talk by one of the teachers there, and the talk is about true worship... I've learned quite a lot there... =)

Okay, now the second day... I woke up earlier than the others because I didn't sleep well that night.. I woke up at I think around 5:30AM... So after I woke up, I went for a bath and then went to the hall... There is no one there at that time... I went to the stage and took the acoustic guitar and started playing it... Not long after, Leon and Yew Xian came and I taught Leon some of the skills I know on the guitar...
So after breakfast and P&W, we started learning a warm-up dance... And after that, we went for the courses... There are two courses that we can choose to participate in... Me, Andrew, Peter and Adam chose the drama course while Cheah Ping and Eunice chose dance...

The drama course is remarkably AWESOME!!! We learned how to express our feelings... After the course... we had two scenes that the teacher wanted us to act... He chose me Peter and Adam and two other teachers... He let us lie down and let our emotions flow... The scene is about 5 wild creatures fighting for the place to be the King of the Kingdom of Creatures... So what happened next surprised me... I was the 1st one to get up and get into the scene... The emotions flowed in me like crazy! Anger, Hatred, Determination, Anticipation to be the king circled me... I've forgotten that that are more than 20 people in the room... We fought like we are real enemies... I think myself as a wolf... So what happened next is on my account: In just a few seconds, Peter was pushed to the ground, bitten and killed by one of the teachers, the first one I fought is on of the teachers, we went head on... We were pressing our heads against each other... After a while I retreated because she is a strong opponent, she retreated as well... The next one I fought is the other teacher, and at that time, two of the teachers are attacking me, but I fought like crazy! Adam later attracted the first teacher I fought and they fought as well... So I fought with another teacher, and she is as strong as the other teacher... I successfully killed her but I got a scratch on my arm... Later, I just looked at Adam fighting with another teacher, he killed the teacher as well... And then Adam saw me waiting... We all waited for each other to make a move... Adam took it first... He sprinted at me and jumped at me... I pushed him aside and I pounced on him... Later, I broke his neck by biting on it... And before I know it, it's all over... I'm the King!

The director a.k.a another one of the teachers called us to calm down... So after 30 seconds or so, we are back to ourself again... Later, I found out that Peter think himself as a mountain lion while Adam thought himself as one of the Avatar natives...
(All the killing is just acting)

So after that, the other scene is about a scene after a war... Where everyone is grieving on the lost of their love ones... After that, we had lunch, then after that, we are separated into three teams and was given the chance to think of our own drama... Our drama is about a professional pianist who got a broken finger after one of the stage workers pushed him down the stage on purpose... So after that, he was in the hospital and the doctor went to tell the pianist his medical report... She says that he might not be able to continue his career as a pianist anymore...The pianist went crazy after that... He scolded the doctor to get out of the room... And then he sweeps the things on the table to the ground and cries... Later, the worker who pushed the pianist comes in and teases the pianist, causing him to grief even more...So two months later, a girl comes in and advises the pianist... And of course, the pianist couldn't accept it and says that he's a waste in this world... But soon after, he thinks about it over again and finds hope... He started practicing his piano but failed a few times... Two years later, he is on stage performing to the audience that is a lot more than when he has no broken finger and touched the audience's heart... And that's the end of the drama... Alright, the cast: Me as the pianist, Leon as the worker who hurt the pianist, Xie Yen as the girl and of course the doctor...

Later that night, we had an activity like team-building... We had to build the highest tower out of straws... And that time, Abigail asked me if I have scissors or something... And I said I have... And then Xue Ting called me Doraemon... == She said it's because I have everything they need in my backpack... And of course, I gave her a nickname too, that is Mashimaru because of the water bottle she have...

And after the team-building activity, we had a revival meeting or something like that...

The third day is a preparation for our concert that night... We are gonna act a 40 minute long drama... It's one drama act by two teams... One team, one part... I'm the director and "part-actor,part-sound-engineer" in my team... I don't I'll be able to explain the drama to you guys here.... But I'll post the video here is there is a chance... Then goes the preparation and comes the rehearsal... We practiced in a very tight schedule... Out P&W team have no chance to practice our songs at all... I barely finished my dinner before the concert starts...

The concert started at around 8:15PM... The P&W goes first and then it's the first dance, that is a broadway dance... Then comes the drama... The drama is PERFECT, plus the magnificent lightings and sound effects... The drama made quite a few people cry... The last program is the second dance, which is a sign dance I think...

And after the concert ended... We took a lot of photos.... I'll also upload the pics here after I gathered them...

And before we know it, we have to go home... we had to say good-bye to each other... We went home with different emotions... Happy because of the experience and sad because we had to leave each other...

To all my best friends at the camp, I really hope we meet again soon, I will cherish the moments I've had with you guys and lock it in a safe place inside my heart... There are moments that we captured in camera and there are moments that we didn't... I really regretted not taking more photos with you all... Eventhough it's only been a day, I really really really really miss you all... LOVE YOU ALL!!!!=)
