SORRY FOR THE SUPER LATE UPDATE!i haven't really gotten a chance to solidly use my computer since i came back! :)
well anyways.
EJ II WAS SO AWESOME! :)
i really receieved so so so much.
i shall try my best to remember everything from the begining! haha.
DAY ONE:i woke up rather early and alena's dad fetched my bro and i to clementi. it took quite awhile to find the place but we eventually did and were one of the first few to arrive! haha. waited for more people to come and eventually waited for the buses to arrive! super D 2 was in bus 9 with some of the huper 2 people! and the 2 brothers were on the bus! daniel and manfred! haha. not forgetting aloysius which would then equal to a very cold bus due to much lameness. hahahha. anyways. we got to sit the sexy
PINK bus! haha. sat with alene cos we were gonna prison break all the way thru to customs!
managed to take a look at our nice new MM shirts which were super pretty! haha. charmaine did an awesome job on the design mans! and so did the ppl who went there to quarrel for us since the original shirts had size problems. :) anyways. prison break-ed all the way to customs. and changed buses when we reached malaysia. and we still continued prison breaking till the ipod got stuck. haha. and we resorted to talking, and due to the other pesky ppl on the bus, they tried toothpasting people when they slept! haha.
SO MEAN. so particularly, we tried not to sleep. :)
reached the pit stop for toilet break and to eat our lunch! and after that went back up the bus and travelled all the way to port dickson. and when we arrived and the
BEAUTIFUL resort, we immediately had to change up into our sports attire and go for camp opening and start the games!
our first game was
DARE MEGATHON. and the first game we played was ultimate frisbee! and we played against jrockz! it was really amazing seeing all the guys go all out for the team! haha. i played the first round and cheered the team on for the 2nd. and jack managed to score a goal for us! :) whoo hoo! and even though we lost that game, we still got points for the cheering! :) yay! i love my super D 2! :) and even though our dear aloysius was cheering for manfred chew instead of super D since huper was playing at the dodgeball station beside ours. haha. we still love him .
after that our next station was one leg catching and we played against CG! and it was amanda's group! haha. and we won this game! :) yay! and our third and final game was baseball, and the balls were water bombs la. so it was quite a fun wet game! haha. we played against huper and we won! :) yay. so it was many many points for super D 2! :)
we were then sent up to our rooms to change up and go for dinner. i was in room 511 with janey and alena! :) we got our keys, and lugged our heaving bags upstairs and when we got to our room, the door couldn't be opened. so while our dearest room ic alena had to go down and change the keys, which still couldn't work, janey and i slacked outside and started eating. and eventually some nice lady opened it for us haha. and the keys
STILL COULDN'T WORK. but we still managed to get into our room so we happily unpacked our stuff! and kept all the food safely in the cupboards and fridge to store our
GREEN TEA :)
showered and changed up and eventually went for dinner at auqamarine! and went for extreme encounter service! :) and it was so so so awesome! i could just feel daddy's love and presence right there in the ballroom with all of us. and i just cried and cried so badly! daddy just really showed me what i saw during the hillsongs concert! as the ambs sat at the back getting a full view of the auditorium. i just saw such youths so hungry for jesus, jumping sreaming and cheering his name. :) daddy just brought that vision back to me, and i just know this is going the be DARE in the near future. full of youths whose lives have been impacted by
JESUS. :) it was really such a precious sight. :) i just kept crying and crying and even as worship ended and pastor asked us to sit, i was still crying throughout the msg! i was just so so so touched. :)
after svc. we had a short MM meeting to discuss when we can meet to practice the dance and skit, and we decided to meet at 8am the next morning. :) so i went back up and spent time with my lovely bunkmates. :) we went to go snack like crazy. talked a lot more and took spastic photos. and eventually went to sleep.
DAY TWO:woke up early early the next day rushed for the ballroom! and practiced our dance. aloysius managed to
BREAK his umbrella by smartly doing a handstand on it! so we needed to look for another one. and we tried our best to redo our formations so it wouldn't take up that much space. and we just practiced for awhile without music since the sound system hadn't been set up yet. then we went to join our DGs for breakfast.
we had another extreme encounter service, and during this service, daddy just showed me a picture of myself at the foot of the cross looking up to him and worshipping him, as he was hanging there. and then i was reminded again of what charissa shared during an ambs outing. that there was no higher calling than to just sit at the feet of jesus and worship him. and it was so so so sweet. just remembering his love for me, and him reminding me time and time again why i'm here. :) pastor also prayed over me and called for my double portion. which i will receive in jesus name. i want my double portion! :) and coach lily just prayed for me, and she just told me that i will be an established women in christ. so strong and secure in him. amen to that. thank you jesus for loving someone like me. :)
after that powerful service, we went for lunch and then to
DARE MAFIA. :) i really think that dare mafia was a really well thought out and planned game! where one of our group members were kidnapped and we had to play games to get money to save them! haha. it was super funn! :) and i could just see super D so enthu and go all out for john who was captured! and even though we were last, and we didn't get to play the sauce pool, i had tonnes of fun. cheering and screaming and jumping into the pool and everything! haha. it was FUN :) and aloysius was first blinded by a mafia, and we were like begging him to mute him instead but he didn't want to. but eventually coach alice muted him and our whole group cheered and laughed like crazy! haha. cos he was SO NOISY. and aloy was super sporting mans. even though he kept banging into the wall and the guys kept bullying him. he still did it! whoo! and he talked to me and alene in his SIGN LANGUAGE cos he couldn't talk. he's GOOD man! haha. oh and i got him to borrow a pole from the logi people cos we needed one to use for the dance. and he managed to get one, but he broke it in less than 10 mins! and parry refused to get him ducktape to stick it back. haha. super funny.
washed up and went for dinner and svc again! it was super fun mans! screaming and cheering for jesus! :) all the ambs were in our pretty green ambs shirt. it was really awesome being there in his presence once again. what a way to start and end the day! :) and after that the MMs had a short meeting with pastor. and he told us to expect more. and that we were all going to rise up and do things we never thought we'd be able to do. that we'd even surprise ourselves. and i really just said amen to all that cos i did want to receive that and step out of my comfort zone and shyness. and i know daddy can only do that. we then presented him with our MM shirt! :) yay. and we moved outside the ballroom for practice. thanks to anjo who brought her laptop! so we could use it for the music! :) praise jesus mans. we recapped steps and after that i just prayed for them. i was super shocked at myself cos i never knew i ever had it in me to do that. but it was really all jesus. :) i surprised myself that night.
everyone eventually left for their rooms, while amanda , manfred and i waited since anjo's laptop was there and i didn't wanna leave it there alone so i was with her. and after that coach said he'd bring it in for her so we left and decided to slack around the lobby for awhile. haha. it was super funny la! chatting there laughing at people and making jokes and random comments. super super funny. and i eventually made it back to my room where my 2 darling roommates were already fast alseep! haha. and they were so sweet! they wrote me a note saying the cooked me cup noodles since they knew i'd be back late. and actually they were supposed to be fake sleeping so they could see me eat my noodles but it ended up being them really falling asleep. haha. i really thank god for them :) they're the
SWEETEST. DAY THREE:the next day had breakfast with the ambs! played concentration and had to do forefiet. honestly the pancakes
SUCKED. the first few bites were swallowable but the rest was super
GROSS. ahh. it was like bitter and stuck all over your mouth.
GROSS. i almost wanted to puke so kev and i went to spit them out. haha.
after that we had extreme encounter service and it was just the last svc! and i just went in telling daddy i wanted to receieve just keep giving me and show me things i'm going to do for you. and i went up to the front and as anointing oil was being placed on everyone, coach mel just prayed for me, and she said that he was going to lift me up and out of my comfort zone, and raise me up. and i just teared and fell under the anointing. and she bent down and whispered into my ear, and he wants you to know that this is just the begining of greater things to come in my life, and that he's preparing me for greater things. and i just cried and cried. and after that daniel prayed for me as he said that i'm going to be the woman of god that he called me to be. and i got slain again. and even coach lily prayed for me, telling me my dreams will be fulfilled, and that i will perform for his glory. :) gosh the prayers were all so precious. :) it was really anointing that filled the place. as god was doing his wondrous works there and then. :)
after that we had DG timeout where super D 2 proceeded to daniel's room where he talked to us about how jesus changed him. and i really just saw how he has transformed from glory to glory. :) and we just shared about what jesus has done for us. even as he talked about being slapped on the right cheek and you should turn to the other and get slapped on the left. just opened my eyes to what being gracious was and learning how to be the more mature one in seeing problems as we undergo different circumstances. it was really a revalation in itself. :) praise jesus for the awesome time spent. after that we went to aquamarine and met up with super D 1 and played a few rounds of taboo and discussed about
DARE express for that night. the MMs had to leave early. and i rushed back to my room to change up and rush back for dance practice with the rest of them.
when we went down to see coach julian. who looked super scary and super fierce. i didn't even dare look at him straight in the face and he just sat there waiting for all the MMs to arrive. and everyone was there at 6.30 when we were supposed to meet at 5.45. and coach just talked to us about punctuality and everything. turns out the skit was gonna be cancelled as it didn't flow with the hype of the night. and even when he asked who were the ICs i couldn't even raise my hand and look him in the face cos it was super scary. but turns out it was a miscommunication about the time. cos coach thought we'd be meeting at 5 but we told lynn 5.45 n everything but it was really grace that coach didn't scream or yell at us. (praise jesus)
we eventually quickly rushed through our dance practice. and did positioning. which didn't turn out so badly. praise jesus. ran thru the dance with music 3 times and then went for dinner. the skit ppl were there supporting us all the way. :) and thats super greatly appreciated. :D i thank god for this bunch of MMs who love each other so much and really just them being there infront of us dancing with us was helping us in a way. :) praise jesus. after that we rushed off for dinner. and back to my room to collect the props for
DARE express night.
after giving out the props, manfred, laura and some others were running into the room, screaming for all the MM dance ppl to be in the ballroom now. haha. and we ran down the stairs all the way to the ballroom as we gathered and waited for everything to start. and bumped into many characters! like those from X-Men! and MIB. haha. super cute. took some photos. and eventually we were outside prepping everyone for the dance. and when we looked in the ballroom and saw everyone was sitting uptil the front it was super PACKED. and we had no space to dance! turns out we only had the catwalk. and no one told us that or marked for us the space during our rehearsal! OMG i freaked out la. but the MMs still wanted to do the dance so we were in one corner trying to think of a solution when i cried out to daddy and just asked him to pull us thru this, and anjo just prayed for us and then wei heng said we can just get everyone to move back! PRAISE JESUS really cos we got back our original space! AHHH. and we also managed to find an umbrella for aloy! hahaha. :) its really jesus who made everything work out in the end, in that moment of panic and frustration he turned the situation around. :) it shows just how even in the little things he cares. :)



the finale night was super
GRAND as everyone donned costumes of they're characters and before we knew it we had to go up for the dance. and even as we danced i just knew even though it was a simple dance, it was really the heart behind everything we did that really showed. how much determination we had to learn the steps and the formations and everything it was just all complied into that few mins on stage. :) praise jesus. i really enjoyed myself. and just seeing the rest of the MMs at the back cheering us on and everyone else in the ballroom as well just made everything so much more worthwhile. :)
after that we just kept cheering as everyone congratulated us and esp aloy and his solo.
RESPECT MANS. haha. him with the umbrella and everything. gosh i really really enjoyed myself mans. went back to our groups with alene and we just took many more pictures. esp with the pretty boys who went to go put on
EYELINER.
haha. manfred and dean and some of the guys went to expirament with eyeliner and it turns out they looked rather pretty! haha. the MMs also ran to the front to support wei heng as he sand w the dare choir. and after that we just praise and worshipped till the end of the night. :) it was really such an awesome night spent with the MMs. coach julian and wei heng then talked to us and just shared with us :) till about 3 am.
after that i had to get wet tissues for the guys to clean off their eyeliner cos they had no idea how to do it. they thought they could wash it off with soap and water. haha. so amanda and i had to help them clean they're eyes and then i went up to alene's room to join super D for sharing. :) but i shared abit and just ended up sleeping and at about 6am i decided to go back to my room and really sleep! haha.
DAY FOUR:awoke at 10am the next day and packed up to get ready to go back home. :) went for our last breakfast with super D and then back to the ballroom for camp closing. :) and waited for our buses to come to take us back to SG! and since we were in bus 9 we had to wait quite a long while! so we took many group photos and played many games. haha. all in all it was fun fun fun. :) and coach julian just talked to me about the MM dance and just said that he saw me jesus just lift me up bigger than my circumstances. and was really so true seeing jesus so faithful and just seeing us though so much. :) praise jesus. i really feel honored to even be part of the MM dance and to be even given the opportunity to choreograph it. :)



even though alene and i were so sad that camp was over, we know there's just more to come. :) bus ride back home was quite okay. didn't really prison break much. chose to sleep instead. was super tired. and shared a lot with daniel on the bus. :) we also managed to toothpaste aloy as he fell asleep on manfred's shoulder, and after that he kept complaining that aloy's head was super heavy. haha. darn funny la.
pit stopped for a&w lunch and eventually made it back to sg. :) it was a super peaceful journey as we slept in the bus and it rained outside. love it. :) when we got back to clementi we said our byes and alena's dad nicely sent us back home again. :)
praise jesus for this camp mans. i really receieved so so so much and i just want more! i realised that ever since my time in
DARE i've just been so happy and so blessed. and this year has really been one of the
BEST years of my life. :) i've just been so much happier. i've really found what true kingdom friendships are and i've never had friends as awesome as those i have now. who'd go all out for me, and i'd really do the same for them. janey, alena, alene, ethel, claire and all those babes in my DG. the hunks too! :) really you're
THE BEST FRIENDS EVER. :) even like how janey and alena just made me those cup noodles when i was gonna be back late. gosh i was just so
TOUCHED. :) i've really never had friends who'd do that for me, but i know daddy has really belssed me with real true friends. :) praise jesus.
and one thing i really caught from this camp was the group spirit! like that in super D! how super D never really is split up cos we're always
ONE FAMILY. how together we all are and how we enjoy each other's company. i really thank god for
SUPER D. i really grew so much in this DG just seeing how everyone cares for everyone, and how we love each other. its really a team spirit i never knew existed but is so
REAL. :) and same for the MMs. just seeing how we support each other and just really are there for each other. i can say we all supernaturally bonded. due to the short time we had with each other and even as we have to serve in our own DGs i just know that we're a very special batch who'd really go all out for everything and anyone. :) praise jesus. i'm really so thankful to be an MM and be with all these awesome people. :) i just love the team spirit. :)
and to all my awesome dancers! thank you so much for being so patient, learning all the steps and working together. :) it wasn't easy but we pulled it off. and i'm so so so proud of you all! :) thanks for always trying and supporting me. :) you all are really the best. thank you alene, amanda and the rest, for always encouraging me and never allowing me to give up, being determined and trying to get the steps and formations just for me. :) you know i love you all so so so much! :D
thank you jesus for an awesome and succesful EJ II! and
YES MORE TO COME. i just know it.
AC3 is gonna be
SO MUCH MORE MIND BLOWING. :) i know it. thank you jesus. cos its only with you that this is all even possible. thank you for everything in my life, everything is such a blessing. and as my life just
ACCELERATED this half of the year. i know you're just preparing me for your goodness. and i just know.
so so SO much more to come.
THANK YOU JESUS. you're just
SO SO SO REAL. :)
EXPECT MORE GREATER THINGS TO COME. :)

all i see is you.
Jesus.
