Here I am, send me.

First we buy a 7-up, then we shake it till it pops up, then we giddy up, and move up, then look up, we see it and JUMP UP!

Firstly, people who missed camp, I seriously pity youu. Because you missed out on a total bomb. It was just plain awesomeeee!

Who know even how to start describing such an awesome camp like this. If I had to rate it, it would definitely be a 10/10! :)

Number 1, I'm so glad I got to be in the main committee this year, and it was definitely a great experience. I really want to thank all my wonderful partners as we planned this, meetings, setting up, discussing... it definitely brought us all closer together. Thank you Weeyen & Lydia Chech for really just getting things moving smoothly and without you two, things would definitely be hetic. Thanks Sarah (I LOVE YOU!), Kelvin, Bryant, and Ian. :)

the awesomest. :) candid.

Number 2, I really got soo touched last night. Not only because of how God touched me myself, but the way he touched the rest seriously just brought tears to me eyes. Let me tell you my testimony.

We were singing "Here I am" and the words, "I will go, send me." filled me with so much unbelief that i just couldn't sing it. I was judging the rest who were singing, wondering who would honestly GO if God sent them. I'm not boasting, but I've gone throught what it really means to follow Jesus, and honestly, its really really hard. Uncle Kevin, soon after, made his altar call, and honestly, I didn't want to go up. Pretty soon, people were just crying their eyeballs out, I was passing out tissues, etc. My gosh, did it make me cry when I saw people just crying, and God just convicted me not to judge people. I felt bad, me of little faith, not believing that God had great plans for those people. You know what really touched me was when Isaak stepped up for prayer. It just didn't seem something I would expect him to do. Somehow, I had this impression that Isaak was this guy who acted macho and cool, and seeing him step made me respect him a whole ton. Ever since I've known Isaak, I always talk about not respecting him. Also, Josh and Weeyen were praying for each other up on the stage, and after Isaak was prayed for, he walked over and joined Weeyen and Josh as they prayed for each other, and that just brought tears. It made me look at Isaak in a whole different perspective. By the end, the presence of God was so strong, I knew I had to go up and get prayer. If I didn't, it would be missing a terribly treasurable moment. So, I walked up to Uncle Kevin and asked him to pray for me, he started praying and had only said one sentence when God already spoke. By then, the tears were flowing. God really touched me with what He said, and he said two things to me, one before the prayer and after. You know, it wasn't something I expected, far from it, far from what Uncle Kevin expected too. But, I have this immense feeling full of reassurance that God is in control. He has a plan for me.

Later on, Tze Yun said, "It was like, I knew I should go up, but I didn't. You get what I mean?" And I totally do! There is nothing to be ashamed of than running into God's presence! I would kill myself if I missed that opportunity!

Jon Teh, I really loved your testimony, and I believe that God definitely has a huge plan for you. I could tell that you were so heavy with the calling you had yesterday night, and I know you are going through problems. You really made me know that God can use anyone, because I would never expect you. :)

Keiffer, I have this feeling you were touched. And I know God is in control. Trust me, he never makes a mistake. Keep following him, and I love you and really respect you. :)

Tetsuo, really glad you could come for camp, and I know for a fact God touched you dramatically. (and I mean, really dramatic!) You rock, Tara. :)

Number 3, I'm really thankful everything went well. All activities were fun, especially the water fight!! The weather was awesome. Nathanuel, Saph, Tet, thanks for helping! Filling water balloons is tiring, indeed! A big round of applaus to all 6 teams! I got to know many new people from other centers, and it was great! Minor cuts and scrapes, Mr Nicholas and his toe, Reva and her eye! But, all in all, I'm sure everyone had fun, except Jason, who called it boring. ;)

Lastly, to Jump Up! Neilson especially. I really respect you and your patience with all the little juniors in your group, you didn't complain, loved them and watched over them, played all the games with a positive attitude even if you lost pratically all, and your team definitely deserves 1st place!

And now, for the best part, a few pictures to hold you in suspense till later. :P

Kelvin & Brandon with the flower girls. (?) HAHA!

My cutie, Sapphira! :D

I adore the beach. =)

Number 4, hugs are the best. :)

being, basically, ... ME!

I'm happy, convicted, but somehow, I just can't be bothered to care. Its so unlike me, yet so like me, and I love it, yet hate it. You'll never guess this, but! I haven't done school work since tuesday. So, the last I did work was Monday, and that was hardly anything. =X I'm super behind my planning, but I can't be bothered, seriously. Camp has kept me busy, busy, and I can't wait for tomorrow! :D

I got to see my kor, and he looks black. No offence, but like, he definitely had a major tan. :) And I got an awesome Muskiteer, and a Snickers. :P I know, I'm awesome.

Raquel and Zoe are probably in a huge bundle of fun at this very moment. Probably talking about you-know-what, hot guys, movies, girl talk! D: So jealous. But then, I got Raquel jealous today that she isn't going for camp, so hah! xD

I need to finish packing, finish reading The Princess Diaries #1, get ready! I dislike packing for anything, cause I have to plan in advance what to wear, and i like to do that at the split-second.  Plus, all the ironing, folding, squishing and squashing. Not pleasant. Agh.

Well, quick review on the latest book, Tommy Sulivan is a Freak or also called Pants on Fire. (Bee pointed out to me that Shane West in A Walk to Remember acted as Tommy Sulivan in the school play when Mandy Moore sang Only Hope. She has the greatest memory!) Anyway, getting back to the book, its absolutely wonderful. I'll rate it 9/10. I'm in love with Tom Suilivan, he's soo nice. Like Charmaine said, he loves her but he lets go, because if you love someone, you'll let go! :) Its crazy sweet.

Currently reading; Princess Diaries. Its okay, nothing great.

It seems very necessary that I blog often these days.

My Zozo is growing up! :D But, then again, my condolence. To the fullest. Welcome to teenager's torture. :P And I so don't believe you're as tall as Bee, but we shall see. :) SOON!

Well, I got to talk to her on the phone yesterday. Its been ages since I've heard her voice, like at least 3 months, maybe less, cause she used to call me. I couldn't even recognize her voice cause I wasn't sure whether it was her cousins or her. :P And no, for the thousandth time, she does not have an accent. (P/s. Everyone's been asking me that, Zoe.)

I passed that horrid French test by the lowest grade ever, but at least I passed. My teacher kept insisting that everyone had gotten 'tres bien' grades, and then I look at my results and I'm like, "Yea riiightt." It was 63% and passing mark is 50%. But, I'm glad I passed!

Tomorrow, there a futsal tornament that will occupy my whole day and make me get into a bad mood by the end of the day! But, thankfully, I escaped from playing and will be doing first aid. Tres tres bien. At least I don't have to waste my whole day chasing after a ball which I'll never get, and can seat myself in the corner, entertain myself with the camera, do some school work, and and get entertained by girl's screaming at the ball and guys showing off. What to do, we are humans. :P But I much rather prefer girls acting girls then guys showing off. :P

On the other hand, I have the most idiotic bet with Isaac, its too stupid for words. :P But what to do when guys are just plain smart. :)

I have a billion and one assignments to do, its so terribly hard to work while sitting beside Bee, but I get her to do tons and tons of work. :P She finished a Math book in one week. :) So proud of my honey bee. But, pretty soon if I don't get myself disciplined, I'm gonna start burning midnight oil. =\

I can't wait to graduate. It seems such great fun to plan your future, what college you want to go to, what to study, getting enough credits, etc. I've counted, and once I finally get out of school, I'll have 20 credits from my plain 5 subjects, 3 credits from Home Ex, Art, and Health/Health Quest, plus 2 credits from French. Thus, 25 credits. For what do I need so much?

P/s. Jon's probably on the plane at this moment. Or, back already. :) You have no idea how much I miss him. I have no idea what I shall do when he goes to college. *shakes head* ;)

WHAT'S UP? CAMP? Here I comeee. :) 4 more days.

Girl power, we need you!

This week has been busy busy, I've been pulling through trying to finish my work, but trust me, did not succeed. I planned to take 4 test this week, but in the end, didn't even get to do 1! I tell you, I have terribly guilty, and plan to do tons of work during the weekend.

What's Up Camp 2009 has basically occupied my entire week. We started off with as little 13 people on Monday, and now, the number of campers (excluding committee and supervisors) has reached 54! Including the supervisors and committee we reach a total of 72 people. A big improvement. :) I'm getting pretty excited.

The only thing is...  48 of the 72 are guys. Only 24 of the 72 are girls! I tell you, that is a big big problem. We girls are the people who make camp fun, guys are just so boring and really don't know how to entertain! =X That's like 66.7% is boys and only a pitiful 33.3% is girls. Absolutely, the girl power is missing. XD

Well, I have a whole list of assignments, test, etc. to accomplish next week. I'm coming on Monday just to take 3 test and collect the last of camp forms... and then, on Wednesday, I have to dreaded French test to overcome. But, oh my gosh, I so can't wait for it to be over and done with, cause then ZOE comes back, and JON too, and SCHOOL CAMP comes! :D My life is basically focused on those four events, and after it all settles down and is over, its back to hard hard work and french classes until November.

I terribly dislike French because I might have to take my final exam, DELF A1, the day after my birthday. I tell you, that is soo pure torture, the definition of torture. And my oral exam too, etc. D: Agh. I dread. The only thing I look forward to is that French classes end in September, I have the whole of October to study for the major exam. :D

Well, here's definitely the joke of the day.
Weeyen waaloo, they all got an issue lah!
Kelvin then we give them tissue lah!

no boundaries.

Vacation is heree! :) Yes, I'm so glad, and wish it was longer. :D But, by the time this week is over, I'll be like, when's school starting again?! :P
--
  We are awsomeeee. :)
(Plus, there's this sign behind us that says : SITTING AREA IS STRICTLY OFF-LIMIT TO GRC STUDENTS.)

Friday was hectic. I completely hit the stone wall by the time I realized I still have French to overcome. It started out with praise and worship and assembly - I know, on partey day! =\ Anyway, it was so not a eat and eat sort of party, it was like.. sit in the corner and depress. Haha, I am not deprived, I was just having terrible red flag cramp. :(

After school, practically half the school headed off to 1U. Honestly, it was pretty torturous. Number 1, by the time I got there, I was already exhausted from all the pain and stress about camp tees. Number 2, I didn't exactly want to go, I was just going for the sake of occupying my day. Plus, the people I went with wasn't exactly 'click-click' like magnets, so I have to be thankful that at least Isaac & Jon went. :) I haven't spent time with Isaac for ages, so it was nice to catch up on him. And Jon, I love him man. He and Tetsuo actually made the trip bearable.


Well, we watched Night At the Museum 2. It was okay only, I don't really think its one of those really amazing movies that makes me cry or love it so much, I'll watch it again immediately if it was possible. I'm just glad they didn't force me to watch Terminator or something, cause I'll probably be so scared. Yea, I already found Night At the Museum scary, just at the beginning. :P The music, and don't mock.

&&, Tetsuo's dog is SO adorable, I'm in love with her. =) I haven't seen a minature schnauzer since Barkley, and that was like 3 years ago.

French that night was pretty hard, cause I was trying my hardest to pay attention, and I'm dreading studying for my coming exam at the end of June.. but after that, CAMP! I'm sooo excited. :D Can't wait till we go to PD and have a natural pedicure in the sand, run through the waves, and bring memories back of my beautiful Old Orchard Beach in Maine. Oh, and torture you all. :P
You guys better register soon. :D
