hello. just got back from easter camp yesterday. was very tired. the camp was fun fun fun! met a lot of new people, got to know God more, had lots of laughter and GREAT food :) i'm really glad that i went to this camp. thanks to everyone who made this such a great experience, esp the "Highly Esteemed Elegant Royal Easter Camp Committee Ouwee Ouwee" (HEERECCOO). u can imagine how 'siao' they are by the name.
the camp site was at waratah bay, at wilsons promontory at gippsland. about 200km away from melbourne. the place was great. the beach was just opposite the road, and at the other side was the farms, with cows. every room has its own toilet and shower cubicle. shared a room with 8 other girls. my group was Leaping Lizard Sleeping on the Wall. the names are all ridiculous. we had Char Siew Pau and Nine-headed Flying Panda and Sound of Rain on Your Roof, Pit Pat Pit Pat among others. had indonesian food for every meal. absolutely yummylicious. will definitely hunt the caterer down at caufield.
we got to make kites, had talent show, attended a few workshops (serious ones and fun ones), had a few messages, exercise in the morning (Taicho), finding for bbq food at the beach at night, games at the beach, played "sardine", had the Itchy and Scratchy show.... LOTS OF LAUGHTER, LOTS OF FUN!!! it was a really relaxing camp, not knowing what to do or what's next until they tell you either 30 minutes or 5 minutes beforehand. everyone was really friendly and kind. and funny. esp the Camp Commander (?) and his HEERECCOO crew.
i really can't summarise everything here. u'll definitely get bored reading it.
pendek kata, i'm really thankful for this experience and would love to go to more ISM activities, esp their easter camp. i'll never forget Taicho (man sui man sui man man man sui!), the POWER dance and how jessen "preserved" jeremy's wet baju by putting it in the freezer and giving it to him later as a "gift" from his Scratchy. here are some pics to share with you guys.
