Onto Leadership

I wouldn't like to start off with this, but i will. I am very disappointed -shakes head and index finger in disappointment- I go wild camping for 3-4 dayz, expecting a lot of new posts, new anime episodes, but no, none of that happened. The one thing i look forward to when i come home... and it's not there. It saddens me tsk tsk.

Anywayz, yah. I'm very tired from going wild camping. First time i ever slept in a tent, but it was very fun. The guys tent was dirty inside with grass, so... not inviting. There were a LOT of spiders outside and a lot of bees and flies n other insects. So annoying! I saw a spider rite beside me and i had to kill it with someone else's sleeping bag. For those who don'g read this blog, i wrote b4 that i'd go camping coz i was gonna become one of the leaders of my fellowship; which is a very huge responsibility. School, then planning for fellowship stuff. Talk about full and tiring dayz, but i'm sure it'll b fun and exciting. Just don't give me anything to worry about such as relationships and i'll be fine. Wht stress...

Sunday, went to our youth pastor's place to sleep over b4 we go camping. Stayed up to 2 playing video games and eating and talking. Then spent another hour to 3 just talking while sleeping. Guys and girls in the same room sleeping (but clearly divided. Girls in couch area, guys... on the open floor). All the guys were trying to sleep while the girls had their "girl talks" which disturbed the guys sleeping coz we were all in the same room! "So that's how it's like to sleep with girls... "
We were talking about random stuff, throwing random animals blindly (as in just throwing stuffed animals in the air and c who it hits coz couches block the view of both genders).

Monday, woke up at 6 (3 hours of sleep) coz of the sunlight and the guys just went straight to video games while some girls watched and others continued sleeping. At 8 we had breakfast and started repacking our stuff to go camping. We crammed all our luggage into one van (luggage of 12 ppl, approx. 2 bags per person); the whole back window was blocked but it didn't matter coz the van didn't have a rear view mirror newayz, haha... dangerous. So yah.. we headed off to balsam lake which is an hour and a half drive from here. Arrived there around 2. We set up our tents, but none of us knew how to set it up. The person who brought it knew but he wanted us to figure out how to do it ourselves since we're suppose to b "leaders" but he ended up helping us... and tearing whtever u did b4 down coz it was wrong. It was tiring but so fun. I got pictures, but too lazy to put them out rite now. We ate filipino food coz both counsellors were filipino which was kool coz one of my friends doesn't understand much chinese, so the counsellors would speak whtever their language is, and we would speak cantonese (i'd b quite quiet) and my friend would not understand anyone of us (we would do this on purpose, much more funnier). After, we went to the beach area, some went fishing, some just talked and played tag (me). I had to cook dinner that day (me cooking... haha) with someone else and we made fried marinated chicken and fried pasta. So nice! Tasted good, but i think some weren't cooked well enough. We made camp fire after and just started talking and playing games around the camp fire. Then ppl took showers at 2 30 while others were just too tired and slept (me), but we still stayed up 'til the ppl taking showers came bak coz they wake us up when they get into the tent.

Yesterday we ate danishes and scrambled eggs and sausages. It tasted goooood, but i was on clean up duty that day and it was so greesie! We played a few group games after and started to make lunch (breakfast at 11 and lunch at 1). We ate tacos! mmm... yummy! it was so filling. All the food during camp was filling. Anywayz, after lunch we went down to the beach again. Some took a shower, i just washed my hair coz it was itchy and was so annoying! We were gonna go paddle boating but we were too late. I went fishing that day! ooo... i caught 2 fish! but they were two small to eat; one of them was almost big enough, but was just under the eating line... lucky fish. There was also a fish that ate one of our counsellor's bait AND hook, which caused our counsellor to b mad so we all helped him try to catch that fish. haha, spent half an hour trying to catch that one fish (it was just under the docks eating our bait, smart fish!) We ran out of worms and it was starting to get cold so we headed bak to camp. We ate dumplings and other hot pot food for dinner! It was nice... such healthy and delicious food! After, we had another campfire, but b4 we lit up the fire, we all looked at the stars which looked soooo pretty coz there wasn't much lights there. It was mostly a rural area so not much lights. If we didn't haf flashlights, it would b pitch black! Scary! I thought up of scary stuff but some girls didn't wanna hear it so i stopped. There was also some shadow performances, but that'll take too long to describe. So yah, roasted marshmellows that day, had glow sticks and sparklers. So amazing! I took a shower that day (hehe) so yah, it was freeezing that day too! I could c my breath. We talked about the leadership stuff n other stuff concerning the fellowship, but that doesn't go in this post. (ps. slept at approx. 2 30)

Today, woke up at 9 35ish i guess. I started using this lighter to burn spiders and bees. it was fun, but the insects deserved it! kept on bothering us and touching our food! but i felt sorry for the lil' insects... and arachnids. newayz! we had brunch which was grilled sandwiches; it tasted great! i'm gonna try that at home... after we started cleaning up and packing our stuff to go home which took about an hour or two. Taking down the tents... so sad coz we spent so much time constructing it, destroying it was just that much harder... and that much faster. So yah, we went to the beach one last time, took some group pictures, skipped some rocks and we were off to Toronto! uh... thts about it. Details were left out coz the post would b too long. But not much details were left out so don't worry.

.reflect, resound, reverberate.
