Church Retreat 2006
Before Retreat = returned from ccal camp - failed miserably to blog on time. two days of major council meetings, and i simultaneously rushed about the rehearsals for ics night. but the people in the dance provided the BEST company. everyone of them. =) pre-during-post performance was just a total High. narpalwenxintimonronaldjieyinganitasarahfarhanisterencelinusdarren.

After performance, i started packing luggage for retreat at 10.30. just grabbed random clothes, counted the number of days on my fingers, figured out there are more than that number of sets of clothes and snapped my case shut. easy sum. goodbye to parents hello to freedom. goodbye to order, hello to sisterly-living. heh. jk.

Room 461. compared to room 525, we deserve to get the housekeeper's fav. room award. me and my sis slept on a bed cos somehow, we were freezing. and weebit scared. i can tell you the story of "the shadows and mists of the balcony doors okaY".
food was so-so. worship and sermons were quite alright. night entertainment was a little above average. overall, it was enjoyable and worthit. such things always get a gd grade from me, cos i) im usually quite gracious and generous abt things outside of my control and ii) im uncontrollably positive manyatimes. so, yea. OHyes. the discussion groups were the most fruitful. got to spend time with many people as well so, as i said, worth it. alright - more than worth it.

[you have to squint] the pool was The Life. sadly - i mean, given all the algae and moss (my biggest fears) and blahblah. but i spent three afternoons in it cos we were having - watercaptain's ball matches? guys against girls, frm lil kids to um, more mature adults. had a wonderful time. of course, the game got rougher by the day and i can never forget the 5 girls anchoring/dunking renjie the catcher. he got scratched like crazy. i escaped unscathed, but stomached a lot of pooljuice. grosss. the adults played well...not bad! Oh. wait. i was scratched! by a hissingcat/barkypuppy/little girl. she's quite adorable and amusing but piggybackrides for alyssa-tay has to be guy-given, in water or on land. didnt go kayaking cos the sea and beach (er, what beach) were terrible. i heard the guys had fun, though my sister managed to reach another resort with a so-she-says very beautiful beach. given the guoman beach standard, i believe her, easily.

on the last night, the ex-y4s congregated for an illegal gathering nxt to the no-entry sign at the bridge of the pool. pastor tim joined us and minusing the bad cushioning and fatigue, i enjoyed myself very much. those short sermonettes were much more my-appetite, i must say. ended our 'chat' at 1.30++am and returned to my room, finding my sister busy with something else. thanks to leanne, charissakhor and vivian for accompanying me. i was a teenyweeny bit scared within a minute of entering the room. and they came over to entertain me. so nice. got chaperoned down to 525 and planned to wait for sunrise service. but one by one, the boys died. =
oh. for talent night, our group made a kprbc cheer. it actually sounded quite alright! okay. the bus-ride back was retarded cos i got myself a bump by leaninig against that window thingy at the window. ouch.

ohwells. better pull up my socks and do some catchingup and revision...so many distractions. so many Better things to look forward to, to hope for. bye port dickson. hello singapore & sch work.
