Hello, I'M BACK FROM 慈少 CAMP!

Sorry to those who tried to contact me this weekend, i couldn't reply cos i didn't know sigu will confiscate phone. x: Still i must say, This is an awesome camp! (:

Day One-

Arrived at 静思堂 at 1230pm. Haha, everyone were scattered around the hall but i spotted Kaiyun soon and went to join her. Poor sister, she couldn't find her group. After that Sigu(s) came and everyone sat in their groups. Our group name's 善解 :D Hahah. There were 8groups, 知足感恩善解包容 and 和心和气互爱协力. There weren't any changes in my group just that we had a new face! I forgot his name but he's known as '圆圆' to us. You'll know why later (:

After that sigu said she'll keep our valuables for us. Man, Kaiyun and i were so reluctant when we surrender our phones lo. Moreover, We didn't have to give them last year. x: Ah, and those who arrived late didn't give their phone to sigu!! That's when we felt stupid -.- It's okay. We have integrity. Hahaha. Initially, Kaiyun and I were grumbling that we didn't want to come and we were tired cos we slept late and bla. Yes, cos our first impression of this camp is Boring...... She even said she didn't want to continue 慈少班 next year cos she's afraid she can't take the stress as a sec3, but her ahma wants her to continue. Didn't know she's also the choir president of her school ley! Pro huh, the stress level must be maxi. Of course, i managed to survive this sec3 ordeal already. Eheheh, but i know the worse has yet to come /: Okay, Back to the camp. After that we realised every girl has to tie plaits. We tried all we cld to escape but to no avail. Lol, in the end we had no choice. Eunice and Huizhuang didn't come as expected. They were my besties in 慈少 for 2 years till sigu changed our groupings and we were separated. Eunice had poly camp and huizhuang's busy for prom stuffs. I miss them superrrrrrrrr! ):

Proceeded to 佛堂 and did our prayings first, then 慈青's 课务组 took over. (: The host said they invited 5566 to sing for us. Like woah, Lol, it turned out to be Huici and friends. Haha. Same stuffs, Sang 慈青会歌 and they screened the video of this whole year's activities. After that Huici came and join us as our group mentor. We made group flag and group cheer. (: I didn't know how to create chinese group cheer! Argh. Lol. Kaiyun and I started blabbering our own cheers. It was fun entertaining ourselves. Lol, Her version of dynamite was different and cool! I even thought of my dad's MrMao's cheer-.- In the end we gave up and we helped out w th group flag while sigu helped us w cheer. Rongjun and friends kept saying Obama's name for idk why. Haha, but they're rather funny and rly made time past faster. Lol.

After that was “爱”的奇迹. Errrr, i rly don't know how to explain. Haha. Okay, in short, it's simply telling us what you say makes a difference. They did a 2week experiment of two bottles of cooked rice, one named Good and the other Bad. They started criticising the one named bad and started praising the one named good for 2weeks. After the 2weeks, the one named bad decayed badly and the one named good still looked perfectly okay. So that's about it. Even things with no life and soul can feel what you say about them, it makes an impact.

Next was Amazing Race 《爱的大冒险》.

FunFunFun! lol. Although in the end we came in last cos our money was the least but we earned 800plus. Hahaha. There are Angels and Devils wandering around, sigu(s) disguised as needy people to test our kindness and gamblers gambling to test our selfcontrol. We earned alot in the 慈济's history station! Heheheh. They tested us 静思语 but weren't strangers to me cause my dad's been using them to teach us moral values. Rongjun and Huici also v pro! Some examples :

自爱就是报恩，付出就是感恩。
原谅别人，就是善待自己。
屋宽不如心宽。
天上最美是星星，人间最美是温情。

We met 3 devils in total._. so you know where most of our money went. Ha. After that we bathed/ate and proceeded to 《亲心唤我心》 when we watched a 慈济movie ：《天堂的妈妈》. Very very touching, everyone teared. ): It shows a mum who got breast cancer and the pain she went through and how she stood strong to teach her children how to face death and how to lead on life without her. She taught them to cook and wrote notes to them before she went for treatments. Even at the brink of death, she went to help out with recycling. Her youngest son narrates the movie. It's so real that we know it could hve just happened to anyone of us. When the movie ended and lights were turned on again, sigu told us to cherish everything and our kinship. Everyone then received a letter wrote by their own parents. The moment i saw mine, i broke into tears again. ): They gave us another letter to reply them and everyone wrote in silence. I think it's really very well-planned huh. Lol. (:

Next was 星夜呢喃+知心相契. Everyone moved to the roadway and there were chairs, tables and candles arranged for every group. Very romantic! The streetlights rly shined like they were stars. (: We had desserts and sandwich there while everyone reflect on the day. So sweet right. 圆圆 hugged his mommy, that's when we realised his mummy was the one who helped kaiyun tie plaits! Sigu's daughter came to hug her also.

Day Two-

Loud Music were played and everyone woke up. Si ying helped me with the sleeping bag cos it's damn fat. Lol. We went to change and i got the same 慈青姐姐 to tie plaits for me :D After that we did morning exercise. Haha, this time it's hotshot's superman song. Wee-U-Weet! Then we learnt the dance of 第一道曙光. I like! Heh. Breakfast was alright and i sat next to huici. Huici and Si En reminds me so much of the crazy times with huizhuang during handsigns. ): Went to look for Si ying and Kaiyun and got to know someone called Weibin. We played a little prank on him ;P Hee. (He's going Taiwan too!) Was kinda tired that morning after all the prayings and 人间菩提. Finally we had afternoon snack and i thought sigu was holding milo so i asked for some of it but it turned out to be coffee! Mygod. Shared with Huici and Kaiyun and i think it works cause for the rest of the day we were very high. Haha. Saw Kailiang coming in his home clothes + dyed hair and was kind of surprised to see him cos he usually don't come for lessons. After breakcamp he sms to say he brought his friend to see me-.- Like i believe huh! Haha.

Next was carrying 3kg of rice in front to experience how tough it is to hve a baby and understand the inconvenience our mothers went thru. Kaiyun and I went first for the game. We need to walk with one of our legs tied together, blow 5 balloons, skip 10times together with one rope, take off our socks without using our hands, lift a bucket for 5seconds, do the limbo and do 15 situps, WITH OUR 'BABY'. You bet it's not easy! Especially the lifting up bucket and situps. -.- After that was doing housework with our baby. So damn tired! ): We slacked and got snapped by the cameraman. Zzz. After that was 《静思语闯关》, we had to compete with 和心group and at first it's not very pleasant. Nevertheless, Our teamwork is awesome! We came in 2nd. (:

Lunched and proceeded to 大爱剧场：《把爱找回来》. Every group is given one scene. The main character's name was 圆圆 and that new guy lost to Hong er in scissors-paper-stone, so he became our yuanyuan lo! (: I was the narrator with Huici. Everyone did well, heh {:

Decorated our mahjong paper and our Mr Artist drew alot of animals which represented us. Haha. I don't know why i'm snake :x Huici wanted goat but he drew sheep, Kaiyun's the dolphin and Rongjun's a pig. Heh. After that was 感恩时刻, everyone pasted hearts on the people we want to thank. Everyone involved in the camp did cheers too! We danced 第一曙光 twice and we were kinda funny cos of some things tht made the partner thing awkward. Huiying kept laughing at us! x: Haha.

(Half of them left) 善解♡ !

After receiving souvenir, we chased after sigu for our phone and took photos. :D Thn i went for the Taiwan briefing. So many rules and 2weeks of vegetarian! Woah, What a challenge. Lol. Hope it'll be fun. (: I'm leaving on this Sunday 23rd. Saw Youming and a little boy stacking cards in the dark. Gave me a shock, haha. I'll take care, thanks! :D
