Everything That Has a Begining, Has an End.

I left my blog untouched for more than 2 weeks.
It almost died.. again.
At least now I have something to blog about..

I just realised, my holidays were just the same as the previous years.
The first few weeks of the holidays would be kinda empty.
But from the 2nd week of December onwards would be filled up almost completely.
There were only 2 places I went for this past fortnight if my memory has been working as it should be.
The first was of course the YDP, which most of us wouldn't want to miss.
second was going to Ipoh and Alor Star. or Setar? whatever laaa..


YDP this year wasn't the same as the previous years.
It changed.
Almost completely.
Whether it got worse or better, I dont know.
But it just feels like it's not the same anymore.
This year we had around 30 youths from Klang, 40 from both LAP and Jurong.
The other youths from the other congregations made up the rest of the 20+.
First thing I noticed there was that there were many new faces, but many missing faces.
It was like a mixture of being happy and sad at the same time.. happy and sad doesnt make a neutral FYI.

First day there, games were all indoors.
This was due to the safety precautions they decided to have.
Icebreaking this year wasn't as good as last year's.
The grouping came.
I was in group 1.
it was my second time being in the first team.
And I was somehow chosen as team leader.
So in the end, we had a team with the worst leader.
Ask the others. =D
The last time I remembered being in the first team was during Leo Youth camp.
Anywaaay..
This is our team.
the 15 of us? the other 2 went missing anywaaay..

This was taken on the last day of the camp.

(left-right) first row: Krystle, Zelda, Eustacia, Eunice, Sze Yin, Naomi, Candy

Second row: Ee Ren, Jia Chin, Zilin, me, David, Kelvin.

Johnathan, Jasmine and Jonah were not there when we took this pic. the 3 J's. Lol.

Zelda was like the assistant team leader. Thanks Zelda a bazillion for helping out.=D

Ignore my face. I was looking retarded and exhausted.

Our team was like the team that won second places, and sometimes first, sometimes last, but in the end we still emerged as.. um.. I'd better not tell which position we got.
The gunung Ledang resort wasn't completely renovated.

The dorms were still.. bug infested.

hahaha. not really bug infested.

But we had bug everywhere at night and in the morning.

But the biggest thing in the room was this Gecko.

It was the size of.. um..

wait, it's length was the length of my arm?

I think..

It seems small here, but trust me, it's really huge.

It was big and scary enough for the guys in the dorm to catch in with plastic bags and try tossing it at the girls' dorms. LOL.

Here are a couple of random pics from YDP.

you have been warned, the pictures below are too gay. well not the pics, but me. =D

The looks on everyone's faces when under the stupidity of the team leader. =P

We had the urge to take at least one of this type of pics every youth event.

um.. yeah. that's me trying to explain why we got only the 2nd placing. LOL

And during free time in the dorm, we goofed around.. and this is what happened.

We had Heroes in action in our schedule on the last night.

Turns out to be talent time after all.

I didnt get any of the talent time vids or pics.

But it was.. LAME.

imagine a sketch with Barney, Batman, Joker, Hyperman, and so many other characters. Not forget spongebob. O.O

anywaay, i was Hyperman and.. yeah.

Had to act hyper.

If someone actually recorded us, I think i'd dieee.

Seriously.

The last day was awesome cause our team won the tug of war.

Skinny guys and girls plus barney.

David played barney by that way.. LOL.

We got 2nd place in overall.

team 1 got 2nd place, team 2 got 1st.

We lost by 20 marks.

Gah.. see what I mean?

In Leo Camp, it was team 1 losing to team 2.

and team 2 got first, team 1 got second.

difference of 2 marks.

So not good.

We all had fun anyways.

I was so tired on the last day.

Kevin and I stayed up the entire night again.

We played Cho Tai Tee with the same few LAP people again at 6 in the morning.

During the closing ceremony thing, I slept almost all the way.

Couldn't help it.

Krystle hit me a few times when she saw me swaying with my eyes shut.

Lol. Swaying buddha?

We slept all the way home.

And.. yeah.

I reached home, ate, showered and played blackshot till 1.

Yeah, nuts.

On Saturday and Sunday, I went for my school's Leo Christmas Charity Bazaar.

Standing and doing nothing is tiring too actually. lol.

I dont have anything much to say about the bazaar though..

The coming Tuesday, the 23rd, My grand uncle and aunt came from singapore.

They brought their 2nd son and my cousin from ipoh.

They're all really young I tell you.

Their son, JingFong, is my uncle but he's the same age as me.

Just 9 days younger than me. =D

Kim Yu was staying with them for a month in Singapore.

JingFong not knowing his picture was being taken.

The next day, which was the 24th, we all drove up together in 2 cars Kim Yu's place at Ipoh.

We arrived there one car in the morning, the other at night.

Nothing much on that day.

But we taught JingFong and Loon how to play bridge.

On christmas afternoon, we all headed to Alor Star in 4 cars.

Jingfong and Loon squeezed into the car me and Joan were sitting and we played bridge for like.. 3 hours? all the way to Alor Star.

We had our dinner and checked in into a nearby hotel.

The hotel was so small I tell you.

From the outside it looked like some tuition centre.

Inside, the rooms and the bathroom together were smaller than my room. O.O

We went back to the eldest grand aunt's house, which was along the highway.

They had this big piece of land.

The occasion was the eldest grand aunt's 90th birthday which is on the 26th.

We stayed there until 3 in the morning.

Most of the adults playing mahjong and chatting away.

Kids running round and playing cards.

Next morning we got out of the hotel and to the house again.

Some of us got bored and decided to go to a cyber cafe.

I thought they wouldnt have cyber cafes there.

I think i'd better stop here.

The words are killing me.

Too many words.

plus i'm lazy.

haha.. excuses eh.

Tomorrow is the year end gathering.

Theme colours are black, blue and gold.

Alvin and Christine are coming.

I just hope tomorrow goes well.

That's all I guess.

Happy New Year all. :)

treasure the last day of 2008 nicely.

Bye.

Struggling to Hold My Tongue Back.

It's the sunday night.
The same sunday night I have every year.
The same one I have before each YDP camp and childrens camp.
It has been a total of..10 camps? yeah.. something like that..
10 camps means 10 years.. gosh, time really flies by when you're having fun.
This year's YDP is going to be at the same place as my first YDP, Gunung Ledang.
It's going to be the 4 days and 3 nights everyone has been looking forward to every year.
I'll be back on Thursday.
it's already 11.25 when i type this, but I haven't even start packing yet.
I'm a really last minute person.

Samuel and Christine just shifted to Kota Kemuning few days back.
But since Sam is not going for YDP, only Christine is coming and stayover.
The moment she sees my sister, they're already.. ahh..
You can try your best, but they'll never seperate.
So, don't bother trying.
At least this time they're not tearing down the house.

I haven't been thinking straight these days.
I can't really focus or stare straight at someone.
Somehow my eyes just pull away each time i try.
I've been distracted by everything too long, so trying to focus on something isn't something easy for me anymore.
I've been keeping too much inside.
I think i'm going to blow any moment.
it has been quite a long time since i blew my top.
Yeah, I just have the urge to blow up now.
And..the few lines above, might not be making sense, cause I cant get my mind straight. lol

I tried playing this new game on garena today.
Blackshot.
Not so ugly game.
Kinda fun.
But I hate the colours.
It's hard to differenciate between your enemies and the walls.
They just seem to camoflouge into their surroundings. =.=
But overall.. pass laaa.

I won't be online or posting anything for the next four days.
I don't think it'll make a difference anyway since i dont post like everyday..

Trying too hard for something that wouldnt work at all,
Going all out for something that's not worth it at all.
Expecting the worse to come when you've already had the unexpected in your face.
Pushing aside all the help given when they were really needed for your case.
Thinking too much about something that you wouldn't do anyway in the end.
Wasting all your time away for something that'll just bring you nothing more than a Yen.
The sky is just too clear when it's dark.
when doing nothing also leaves behind a mark.
I burned my own map,
Talked nothing but crap.

For The Times We Knew But Did Nothing About It.

It's almost the 3rd week of December already.
The holidays just don't seem enough.
Who has enough of it anyway..
Mom just came back on Wednesday.
Now she's awake when i'm awake.
She's still stuck in the US time zone. lol.
So when i'm awake at 3, she'll stilll be awake.
This can't go on.. T_T

We just had a reunion lunch on Thursday.
With the usual relatives.
It has been a while since we had something like that.
So.. yeah.
I think I was just preoccupied thinking what were they preparing for lunch.
We watched this Singaporean movie My Family, My Heart.
I can tell you, I really hate their shows.
The startings are always funny, and in the middle they go dramatic.
They plotted the show in a way that they want the people watching to cry.
Which singaporean show doesn't have a really sad, emo, dramatic part? lol.
But overall it was okay.

Friday we went pyramid.
First time with unexpected people. LOL
Cheong, Chua, Danny, Gim Chai and Kang shen.
Deweil and CheeKiat ffk us.
I didn't mind.
Cause I wasnt the one organising this outing anyway.
What they all lacked was Punctuality.
okaaay, that sounds abit familiar..
I waited for them for half and hour.
That's how "early" they were. hahaha.
When we reached there, we split up.
and finally back to redbox. =.=
I never want to go back to redbox again.
Never, ever.

I don't know what else to say.
My brain is just empty anyway.
Haven't really been doing much.
I barely opened my form 4 books to revise.
Wait, I don't have any of those books already anyway..

Random stuff.
Danny has a blog. :D
I think i know why he got one.. if you want to know why, let me know. :D
YDP is on Monday.
It's at gunung ledang again. AGAIN..
We hope it goes well..
Joint Christmas Bazaar is this coming Friday to Sunday at subang Parade.
Just try to go there and support ZhiPeng's first project alright?
This year would only last for another 3 weeks?
So I hope it doesnt go to waste..

That's all I have.
Chaoz.

Just So That Everything Stays The Way They Are.

I spent the rest of my days of last week in boredom.
Really.
Thursday was plain empty.
Friday LSK Leos attended a project at the NKF at PJ.
We as Klang citizens don't know much about PJ roads and highways.
We were.. abit lost? yeah.
But it's unbelievable that our club was the earliest.
We're always the earliest in any function.
Well, just the ones I've attended la. haha.
It was abit boring there.
We were listening to a lecture that I've heard of before.
The 8 of us from Klang then went to mid valley.
We grabbed our lunch and head straight for home.
I had my haircut again.
It kinda explains why my head looks like a coconut shell with some hair sticking up? lol.
I was supposed to be packing for camp right after church, but the computer was tempting as ever.
So in the end, I started packing around 1 in the morning.

Saturday was Leo camp.
32 Leos participated. 9 from LSK.
Quite a big figure from us. =D
When we first heard of the number of Leos participating, we were abit disappointed.
Well, small figures doesn't mean that it's unsignificant.
Danny and I were in one group.
We had Wen Jhe, Sok Yan, John, Ying Zhi, and Jian Wei in our team.
Most of us dont speak up alot.
But.. We still did our best during the 3 days there.
We lost to chee Kiat and sabash's team by only 2 marks.
Small number, but it's because of 3 marks, we didn't win.
Moving on, this camp was like the best compared to my 3 years of prefect's camp?
We don't wake up at 7 just to jog, tire ourselves out, march etc etc.
We had flying fox there, abseiling? =.=, jungle trekking, building a bamboo water raft and racing with it, playing in the mouldy pool, feeding leeches, and screaming in the cold bath water at 6 in the morning.
In the camp, those that lost their voices badly were mostly from our school.
We screamed out heads out and shouted whenever possible.
reminds me of forum when we shouted till we lost our voices.
I'd give the camp a 8/10 rating.
For prefects camp, it'll be a 4/10. LOL
the only thing good about the prefects camp is the food.
Nothing more.
3 days at dusun eco, we practically did everything under the rain.
I think we all got so used to it.
Well, I did. Alot.
I walked home under the rain when we just arrived in klang.
I'm nuts. haha.
When i'm back home, only then I realise that I've more than a dozen cuts everywhere.
Not everywhere though. ALMOST everywhere.
Places like in between my nails, on my inner thighs, all over my hands, etc etc.
Yeah, I haven't been to camps like that for months already.
I've been really wanting one for a long time.

Yesterday, the first thing I did when I arrived home was to fix the router and use the pc at full throttle. lol.
I haven't been listening to my playlist for days.
Chye Leng asked me to attend the seremban camp this friday.
I told her i'll attend it if she comes for YDP, which was impossible cause she had other activities next week.
So there, problemo solved. lol.
oh, my number on my leo name card is no longer mine.
But you still can contact me through it.
Just add a " to the hot guy" or "to that nerd". hahaha.
Nola, Just mention my name in the msg will do.
I slept at my usual sleepng time, 1 in the morning.
I'm so used to it now.
It's either 1 in the morning or 3.
I cant sleep any other time.
I dont know what I have for today.
Maybe I just need some rest at home today.

Mom is coming back this wednesday.
She has been in US for more than a month already.
It also explains why I have to find my own transport to anywhere.
YDP is next monday.
This year's year end gathering has already been planned.
We didn't have one last year.
Tragic month.
so.. anyway.
The new school semester would be starting in a few weeks time.
Seems pretty close from now.
Most of us would be in form 5 soon.
4 years have come and past so quickly, we haven't got to know each other well enough.
That's all I have for this post.
Chaoz.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Had No Hair

Last Sunday we kinda celebrated Joel's birthday.
His..19th? yeah. hahaha.
After that we had futsal at 3.
It was the international court again because we had way too many players.
I got injured. again.
But it's worse this time.
I'm still feeling the pain even until now when I walk.
Monday I was supposed to go to the bukit tinggi aeon.
We were about to eat up our.. free pizzas. haha.
As soon as i stepped into aeon, I already had to go pick Alvin up.
He's in Klang again. =D
We met Kevin and Jonah too.
My sis was asking Jonah on Sunday who's gonna be there when we all hang out, he just told her "You, me, him, her, more hims and more hers."
His one lame chindian I tell you.
After an entire monday night of frustrating planning, we all decided to go to Sunway on Tuesday instead of 1 utama.
Krystle couldn't turn up this time either.
Patrick couldn't come cause Krystle was supposed to pick him up too.
Allan almost didn't want to come.
Daryl and Erny.. went 1utama with the others.
Our train was delayed, our bus broke down.
How unfortunate.
We all finally met up at pyramid.
Allan, Alvin, Kevin, Jonah, vincent, Chye leng, Joan and me.
Not many this time, but at least it was funner? LOL.
We watched twilight.
It was okay I guess.
Throughout the entire show, you can hear squeeling of girls and guys learning how to squeel too.
hahaha.
Alvin was teaching me some basic stuff about Dota this morning.
He's a pro. REally.
But he just left in the evening.
So it's all quiet now.

Leo camp is this Saturday.
I don't know if i'm able to run and jump by that time.
It's a guy's pain.
hahahahaha.
There's a possibility Allan or Alvin might be coming here to stay next sunday right before YDP.
The people that have registered so far is.. satisfactory la.
YDP is probably the last time I'm gonna see all of them for this year.
We were planning on going out next year during the week we're gonna have the Y.ES.
So.. We're not sure about that yet.
But.. yeah.
that's about it.
I gotta go.
Chaoz.
