you're my sunshine

back from OMB LUMUT yesterday. this is the best camp i'd ever had. i think i've leant alot & grown from this camp. first two days of the camp was more of ice-breaking & getting to know others. then we did rope climing & the basics of kayaking, building tents & setting fire. the first expedition for my group was the kayaking(sea) expedition. we kayaked to pulau pangkor island, did abseiling & camped for a night there. then it was the solo camp. i'm so lucky to get my tent next to the waterfall so i could bath. the camp was supposingly supposed to be alone(solo) but we ended up having more like a picnic & talked alot. then when the instructors came, everyone scrammed back to their tents. & they're so sweet they brought me food they cooked for dinner cause i can't start a fire. the night was so freaky i kept wondering if there are animals around my tent. by seven pm it was pitched dark so i went to sleep. the night alone was so damn long & time seemed to pass too slowly. the last expedition was the land expedition & it's the most enjoyable & memorable one for me. we trekked in the jungle. we slided, skidded & fell in the mud & even got leech bites. we had to trust each other so much & that really bonded the team. we got to the campsite just when the was about to start & we put up our tents just in time. we made a bonfire & talked till past midnight. i was trying to sleep outside the tent & i can't sleep. it's really cold & too many mosqitoes causes too much itch. then lastly was the cultural exchange programme & campfire night. we took speed boat to pangkor island & shopped there. i dknw how but i got high during the bbq night so i pulled bernetta & carolyn around and make them groove to the music. haha. at the end of the night, jillian & i got too emo when we sang auld lang syne, we cried.

anyway, my watch changed the lyrics of the songs & dedicated it to nizam & lydia as our performing item -

you treat us like leaders
you gave us hints as clues
you shone the light of love on us
you gave us answers we don't trust
you opened doors that close
in a land that anything bites
but we'll still love you like was always do

thank God we found you
we would've been lost without you
out every fear was washed away
when you came by & showed your face
you brought the laughters
completed the journey
we're overwhelmed by gratitude
never ever will we forget your love

i enjoyed the trip to the fullest. two words; satisfactory, excellent. every single bit of it, i love it. to think that i actually dreaded going before i even went. now i would have regretted my life if i missed out on this wonderful camp. it's so sad we all gotta leave; especially coming back to singapore. i made many new & good friends. goodbye is always the hardest to say & i hate it cause i can't keep my emotions from spilling so i cried. sentimental attatchments always keeps me grounded & it's always the case when i can't let go. but i'm sure that all the friendships built over in the last ten days are not gonna end just there. who knows, it might last us ten years or a lifetime.

now i appreciate everything i have so much more. i've grown from being an uncontented girl, to a happy & satisfied girl. i've got everything i need to have, even more. & i've God, so what more do i really need, seriously. i give all thanks to God for this putting me through this camp, giving me wonderful instructor, course assistant, watch members & of course listening to my prayers in times of fear. God is so amazing. i will be still & know you're God.

back in singapore & now i need to do shopping. i need new shoes & clothes. by the way, if any of you come to singapore to shop, give me a notice or a ring. i'll bring you around. lets hit the malls!
