For starters, we had 23 youths and uncles and aunties living in a bungalow of 3 rooms and 3 toilets. Mathematically speaking, there were about 8 people in a room and each toilet had to go through 8 people's worth of bath and dirty businesses. Luckily noone let out a big bad nasty ohyouknowwhat.
Here's the climax; there were RATS.
So the wooden bungalow we stayed in did an excellent job in transferring sounds; from one end to the other end of the house, you'll know when there's a rat, *thump thump thump* AHHHHHHHHHHH *girly scream*.
200 kilometers away from our comfortable homey homes back in KL, the closest we had to technology were the '5 minutes a day FACEBOOK facility courtesy of ainsley's blackberry'. But then again, we were constantly reminded by the uncles and aunties to get off facebook and enjoy the nature. No phones, no computers, no radios, no cards (until we went to buy a pack of cards for rm3 but only used it for 2 games of chortaiti) all we had were each other and plenty of food.
Speaking of food, the food there was great for a camp. Except that one time where I ordered char kuey teow, it came out like brown soya sos soup kuey teow. nasty. Some great wise words from yours truly, "anyone who constantly eats penang kuey teow shall never ever ever order charkueyteow anywhere else."
Oh and that one time where Jared boiled eggs, yeah hmmm it came with tissues =)
The last night was the best though. On top of our dinner rations, we had a BARBEQUE.
We had 'kebabs where most of us were forced to eat capsicums', 'marinated chicken from the Equatorial Hotel Chef', sweet corn, sweet potato and to top it off, MARSHMALLOWS =D Brown on the outside, liquid on the inside just the way Sue Xian likes it. Much better when first tried it.
Other than that, we visited a refugee camp aka THE VIEW, an orang asli kampung aka THE CLIMB *adapted from miley cyrus* and handed out survey forms at Tanah Rata. It's MISSIONS CAMP after all, right? The experiences there deserve a post of itself. COMING SOON.
The sessions there were equally amazing. They were about Our Destiny and the Great Commission and God's Voice and Missions. I can truly say with my heads up high, all of us came outta that camp changed. All of this also COMING SOON.
Photo wise (eh you still remember your on my photo blog rite), there were 3 dslrs, yippee =) Mine, Ainsley's and Janice's. So there will be a fair coverage from everything to everything. Bugs, strawberries, dogs, whatever in your brain you wish to know, my sexy face, yeah all coming right up. If only Ainsley didn't stay in a zoo in Melaka, the pics might take some time, kiddos.
Kesimpulannya, the relationships formed with the people there were like wow. You know in some camps, there would be some sort of a hierarchy thingmajig going on. It might be the number of campers here but everyone came out of the camp as if they knew each other for 10 years. (even though some of us were abit shy shy in the beginning)
Those 96 hours spent with all you crazy people about babies and weddings and toy storys and farts and relationships and grandma moths and bimbos, couldn't have imagined spending it with other people. Bak kata pepatah from yours truly, 'ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE'.
THANKYOOS to Pastor Hock Cheng, Pastor Chok, Pastor Alvin, Pastor Rose, Uncle Steve, Aunty Cynthia, Adrian, Ben Gan, Boon How, Joanna, Ainsley, Ginsky, Dominique, Johann, Chloe, Jared, Winnie, Luke, Clarissa, Adam, Josh and Janice for....
