went for church camp on a monday morning. sam picked us up and with our camping stuff bags squashed on our legs and in the boot, we head off to hilary's, which was about 45mins drive away. got excited talking about camps and church-y stuff like how girls were not allowed to wear short shorts at such camps in the past with the "transperth card" rule and forgetting to bring cards and driving back to retrieve cards.
havent been to a church camp for so long... it reminded me of the one we had in a secondary school in bishan then. this is so different. it's like a retreat, with bunk beds and dorms and all.
overall camp was ooookay, at least for my first time! didn't enjoy the idea of having to pay $80 and running around doing tasks and amazing races. being a student overseas can be quite ball-sucky you know.
i wasn't too pleased with this girl in my group, and i immediately disliked her at the first contact... and this kinda spoil my experience with my group. don't know why i let people i dislike bother me so much sometimes :( she was so stuck-up and didn't want to make conversation with people she deem "lower-class". i saw this through how she didn't want to talk to me in the beginning thinking that i am from murdoch zone and how she asked people where they were from and ignoring them after hearing that they are from malaysia or something.
the convo went from "where you study?"- and i replied "UWA" which was her school, so she got interested and asked "what you study?"- and i said "masters of mass comm" which perked her interest now that my level seem higher than hers. then she asked which country i am from, where i went- is it jc or poly. when people ask such things, it can be quite annoying like she's my mum's friend, an auntie who judges you by your education.
it is dumb coz it is really not by my own merit that i got to study in a relatively esteemed course, but rather my parents see it fit to support me with their hard-earned money. any dumb kid with generous parents could get a masters really.
hurmp. i am pretty embarrassed to say i relied on suds a lot, just going to him for comforting shoulder pats and hand-holding makes me feel a lot better. it really is awkward to try to be "single" again. lots of people in camp seem to be single too. one of the group mates was like "let's name our group the super singles! we here are all singles right?!" and he looked around the group to some really stoned faces. LOL. that was agan actually, the mixed pan-asian guy.
my group mates are pretty awesome.
the group is called team awesome.
murdoch zone people!
with the 360 panorama app on the iphone!
also throughout the camp you start seeing people with cool photo-taking apps on iphones cam-whoring around. zzz. made me kinda wish i had an iphone with such apps. sigh! i wish i can kick consumerism in the balls sometimes.
also i found the megapraise event on the second night pretty weird and head off to my bunk bed alone in the cold drizzling night to bathe alone (i am sooo brave).
also sam said that the dorms were designed exactly like those in NS. i was so surprised. why do NS boys complain?! it's really rustic cabin-log-cool even though the bunks can be quite creaky sometimes. beds are quite comfy!
