Let the ruins come to life In the beauty of Your Name

Rising up from the ashes
God forever You reign

Woah, in the blink of an eye, NCOC 13 and church camp just went past like that.
Church camp started on the day NCOC ended, so I haven't been home
for a week hahah. it feeels weird to be away from home for so long.

NCOC
Before camp and course day started, there was the instructor pre-camp!
We had to go all the way to HQ.
In short...
We went through all the lectures and even did the hiking route etc.
On the side note, a
ll the other instructors always stay up late but Amanda and I go to bed ( sleeping bags in this case )
really early hahah.
I remembered  vividly there was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night and it woke me up.
I was so glad Amanda was sleeping beside me hahaha,
what would I ever do without her?

Then there was course day,
it was really awkward with my group ELMA at first.
As the days went past and as we talked more during group interactions,
it became less awkward.
I think our group talked the most and laughed the most out of all the other groups in the end haahh.
I can be really quiet at times so thank God most of them are talkative people!

Campppp
It felt great to have camp back in SN again,
I really miss camping in school so everything felt fine (:
It was a traumatic start though, at least for Qing Le who forgot her beret and had
to go all the way home to get it ...
Hiking was great, I was gamemaster with Trisha (:
I thought it was going to be boring being a gamemaster because I rather hike with
my group and play all the games with them
but it turned out I was wrong!
I really thank God I got to be a gamemaster instead because if not,
I wouldnt have the chance to spend time and talk to Trisha for hours!
We talked mostly about what is happening in our corp and
we shared many interesting stories together!
So im really glad that I can spend time with her
since we havent met up since last year!
Ohhh, Camp performance was awesome as well!
Though the instructors performance was really really really last minute,
all of us had so much fun during the performance!
This is probably the first time I ever had so much fun performing for people haahha.
I ususally dread camp performances where I have to perform for people hahah.

I shall not go into anymore details but those were the
so called huge events of the camp!
I really miss Elma and all the other instructors/sirs/maams though.
I like how they give me the "one big family" feeling hahah.
If I ever go back to SJ,
the reason will be because of the people there.
