Woke up at 1pm yesterday with the most unimaginable muscle cramps. Especially in the legs and shoulders. Wah. I stretched around for 15minutes to relieve the pain. Haha.
Then I went back to sleep. Woke up again at 5, then went down to Church for cell.
Message was on a clip taken from Facing The Giants. Kind of cool to have a follow-up for a movie man.
Sis didn't eat dinner cause she was practising for worship, so went with her to Rivervale Mall Macdonald's for supper.
Weird la, I thought the mac's there was 24hours, but it closed at 12mm. Thankfully we reached there at 11.45, so brought something to eat and went to some void deck.
Haha, walking around at night in Punggol and Sengkang is scary...even though I should be used to it, still very scary.
Especially when we saw this guy with enormous muscles and tattoos all over walking past us.
Or this police car that actually slowed down with the officers inside turning to look at us before driving off.
Haha. Fun.
I'm trying very hard not to think of homework. Please do not remind me explicitly or otherwise about the humongous pile of homework I have yet to finish. At least until the last week of holidays where you can start chiding me for procrastinating. =)

Post NCO Camp.
I wouldn't say that the camp was completely fun and I enjoyed every single minute of it.
In fact, I'd say it was the worst camp I had ever attended.
But it was a training camp la...so I'd say that it fulfilled it's purpose.
And I just counted 5 blue-blacks/bruises on my legs and hands. I have no idea how I got them except for the hands, which I got through the 250+ push-ups.
And the campfire preparation/execution had lots of mistakes, but the instructors said it was one of the most high campfires they have been to? =D
And we had to run and bring our bags down to the parade square at 10+pm, unpack everything onto the parade square and make sure it is standardised with the rest, do push-ups, run back up and standardise everything in the bunks again in 10mins...for 2 days.
But I realised that the camp was so so much tougher than what I'd excepted, yet it was so much easier to just focus on the camp instead and not bother about anything not related to the camp. The camp is less stressful mentally cause you just have to follow orders and all. Although you do need to think quite a bit especially during MOI, but you don't have to bother about problems with friends or deadlines or whatever. Just focusing on the camp. So I actually felt more relaxed than elsewhere cause I conveniently forgot about everything else.
But of course, the moment I come back I have to deal with everything. And I feel more tired than I have ever felt. Maybe it's cause I stupidly decided to walk home after the camp cause I had nothing better to do. Felt like dying when I reached Punggol Plaza...but I actually made it man! 20+ Bus Stops and I didn't give up. Haha.
Still left with ATC, and NDP trainings. =)

NCO Camp 2007.
Ok, this past week has been utterly exhausting. Completely devastating. It's like the sheer irony of preparing for a camp being worse than the camp itself? From firewood to flag structure to campfire performance to whatever.
Sighs. But kind of cool la. I mean. Did lots of unorthodox stuff that I'd never do if I was alone.
Like pushing a trolley full of firewood from Heartland Mall Kovan to School. Awesome.
And today, it's 12.30 yet I'm not sleeping. I'll have 4 hours of sleep.
This is probably the most unprepared camp I've ever been too. Like, at 9.30pm I was still walking around Hougang Mall trying to buy masks and light sticks.
Okay, so I won't be blogging until Friday, which is okay right? Considering I haven't blogged since Wednesday. Like a 4-day interval.
=D I shall be very fit in 4 days time. Heh.

Camera Cracked.
=( No idea why the LCD screen on my camera cracked.
But for some reason I can still access the camera from the computer, and most likely can take pictures, except I have no idea what I'm taking...
Naturally, I'd put a picture of the cracked screen cause it looks vaguely like venom from Spiderman 3, but I don't have a camera to take the camera with. =/
Went to meet with squadmates for NCO camp discussion the past few days. Blah, don't feel like going to any camp at all. I feel like sleeping everyday till the end of the June Holidays. And lazing around doing pointless time wasting stuff.
Anyways, class bbq yesterday. Quite okay. Haha. The last part was fun. Where we threw ice on the bbq pit. Watched the ice sublime a bit, but I think it just transitioned from solid to liquid to gas lar.
I think it's the last, or one of the last few photos i took with my camera..So sad...

The Habitudes Experience.
Exactly one week after the iHope Conference, and I'm attending another Conference. =D
Signed up for this even before I heard of iHope though, cause it's cheaper, and I went with some people from youth group. I think it seemed a bit like 4 media club press conferences squeezed into one. Saw that guy from youth challenge that came to our school some time back for VIP, then there was Daphne Khoo from Singapore Idol, then the Founder from 77th Street, then someone who had cancer in remission.
But didn't get 77th Street voucher. Haha. Learned totally different things from iHope, emphasis a lot more on leadership.
And the usage of images and videos to carry across the message was cool too. Ensured that I didn't fall asleep. And of course, I have a picture of my turtle.
That's my sister's turtle and phone btw. So no one can say anything anymore about anyone allegedly associated with me.
I think I've learned more in this week than any other normal school week so far. From PK/HFS course to the 2 conferences and all the other miscellaneous stuff. And hopefully I have an inkling of what to do. Hopefully.

Pre-Camp Training.
I tried surviving a Friday without a single taste or cup of coffee. Haha. Although I did consume a can of Anything for lunch. It had coke inside.
Day started with me dragging myself out of bed as usual. Reached school at about 7.20, then waited for the instructors to come.
Left however, before the training really started to go for Maths Remedial. It shouldn't be called remedial cause the whole class is being taught and not a select few that did badly for Maths*cough*. It should be called supplementary, or extra lesson, but we're not going there to learn English anyways... =D
Felt like sleeping during the lesson. But I learned Modulus Functions! Haha, like every A Maths topic that I've learned so far, it always seems super easy at the start. *shudders*
Went back to NPCC after the remedial, and learned Orienteering! It seemed easier that I thought it would be, cause there's not much effort required except a good compass and reliable map. Learned about the various parts of a compass like the baseplate and direction-of-travel arrow and orienteering line and a bunch of other complicating terms meant to confuse the unsuspecting passerby. Like, why can't the needle on the compass be called a needle? It has to be a magnetic needle. Special okay? The compass needle is magnetic hor.

Went to eat Long John Sliver after that. Third time eating this week already. I'm getting tired of the chicken nuggets...
Went home, then went out for Worship Ministry meeting. Haha, this time I learned about the technical parts of the music, like the equaliser and auxilary amps and all the other stuff is helpful when one is playing for worship. Like, woa, I never really knew there were so many auxilary amps or that the equaliser actually cut out the frequencies? I'm think I'm kind of confused by everything now, so nvm...
Watched Facing The Giants for cell, cause Youth Camp started yesterday. =(
I think it's a very inspirational movie. Talks a lot about honouring God in every single aspect of your life.
(Ignore if you want to.)I realised now that I'm being tested. I should have foreseen it, but the feeling of shock and well, disappointment swept me like a giant tsunami. Now I'm very confused. Should I take revenge? I want to take revenge, it would be so fun to slam someone on my blog again, sadistically speaking. It would be so easy, so pathetically easy, to slam that person repeatedly again and again, it would be so fun, inventing horrible insults and sarcastic comments and watching that person's reaction. It would be like playing game all over again, this time I'd be more experienced at playing, I'd reveal all secrets, see what the other party can come up with to rebutt, then think and carefully strategise my comeback until the other party gives up. But this time I'd continue with the insults, not giving up until that very same person gave in and begged for mercy, but I would not forgive, I'd make that person isolated slowly from everyone, reveal everything that person has ever done to make my life miserable. I'd blame every single wrong, every feeling of hatred, anger, digust and blame it all on that person. All the while knowing fully well what I would be doing. All the while knowing and yet enjoying it. I'd laugh as that person finally realised who was really in the wrong in the end. I'd laugh as I pretended to be on the right side, when in reality, doing all this would just make me on the wrong side.
Yet...what would I accomplish? Sadistic revenge? Feelings of exuberant joy and happiness? I wouldn't be honouring God, yet I feel so tempted to just pick up the fight waiting foolishly for me. Could I really stop myself from doing the wrong thing in the midst of a fight?
To that person: I know already, I knew all along, I guessed it a long time ago, and your actions confirmed my guesses.

Shrek The Third
Went to VivoCity to watch it yesterday. Coincidentally, there was a class gathering at Vivo, but I didn't go, cause I think it's much better economically for me. Ate at this funky place at the extreme corner of Vivo which I've never explored before. Forgot the name...something M la. M for Minghui mah. It was super high tech cause you used something like an Ex-link card to pay and you simply gave back the card when you wanted to pay. And the decorations were very shiok too. And a lot of choices of food. But all super expensive. -.-
Anyways, Shrek 3 was quite okay. Super funny at some parts. But I think the first movie is still the best in terms of plot and all. But that doesn't mean this movie wasn't good. Haha, the Merlin part was the best man.
Reached home at around 10+ and suddenly remembered there was remedial and NPCC the next day at 7.30... -.-
