Sometimes when i look back over the weeks and think about what to blog, sometimes it comes instantly whereas sometimes, it's really mind boggling about what exactly is interesting in my life to blog about. Amidst the business of my submissions and piano rehearsals and trying to keep up with thumbforlego, I had church camp!!! (Sidetrack, it would really help me a lot if you could like my page) ETEncounter was so amazing that even though I was only there for 1/3 of the time due to various commitments, it was truly an encouraging camp as ET zone (a zone in my church) merged with MJ zone (another zone in my church) to do this camp. I initially had my doubts, that things would be awkward but after realizing that everyone is from City Harvest Church and not labelling them as being in different zones, I saw how people were making friends with each other, helping one another. Oh god I just came back from a xplorer nerf war and im already sneezing like mad. Danggit. But it was fun!! taking time off the mundane schedule of life and doing something different once a month is another form of a "reset" button for me! Another "reset" button is also when I go to church, see my church friends once again, talk to them, hear out how their life has been for the week~

Did you know that Yellowcard is going to be gone?! Like it feels weird now that they have just announced it. Or maybe they announced it way earlier just that I am slow heh.

Nerf war today was fun as we gathered together and talked about our NS experience over lunch. I just find it interesting that every guy in Singapore who has gone through national service has his own story to tell. and it acts as such a great bonding tool! Not that we have the primary goal to be bonded therefore we share our stories, but it is just something that comes naturally from a conversation starter.


As the work keeps coming and coming I soon realize that the end of the semester is approaching and I feel that it is way too soon?! Just like how i was so not "prepared" for church camp. One thing that I realized in such camps is that the older ones seem to be more rara, more garang, more involved in the camp, being hyped up. It is also the case for camp preparation like the making of team identities, etc. And I got intrigued because aren't the older ones going to  have thoughts like "dang i am too old for this camp", "omg you seriously want me to run as fast as i can? I dont even remember how to run" or something along those lines. The picture above is actually our team identity. They are patterned green cloths. The only reason that I came up with, only because it felt like a convenient and satisfying reason to me to not cause me to ponder further is that the older you grow, you tend to see the bigger picture - society. That when you are younger, you tend to attribute anything that happens to the direct impact on you whereas when you are older, you tend to have more thoughts on society or people working as a whole. Therefore older people know that everyone needs to chip in an effort therefore everyone helps out during camp prep and camp itself? That they know that it is awkward if only the team leader is the one shouting and being so hyped up, so everyone does it together? It's a bit like an individual thinks he is invincible in a group you get what i mean?
