I Say Jamboree, You Say Rock

My dear humans, I purposely woke up at 8.30am just to start blogging about Jamboree, you know? See how much I love my readers?   People have been nagging at me to blog about Jamboree 2012 and so that's what I'm doing now :D

Beware:
This post will be filled with pictures and words. And sometimes the Blogger tends to overuse the word 'LAH'. So just sit back and relax and READ ON, okay? :) Comment below or in my CBox! :D

Actually, I'm not sure how to present this 3-Days-2-Nights Church Camp. Well, technically, its 2-Days-2-nights :P So, I'll avert your attention with the Jamboree post I did when I was in Form 2. Its horribly wince-worthy and lame, cause I used to think the word LOLx is legit. Oh dear. And then there's the Camp I went to last year at Port Dickson. It was for us Form 3s only. But I think Facebook did something to the photos (cause I steal borrow them from Facebook) and now blogger can't read the photos anymore. There's just this ugly question mark  in the middle of rectangles :( Its so sad. I'm probably gonna have to re-put the photos but I'm sooooooo lazy to do it. *sigh* Give me motivation? :)

Here are the two posts:

Well, Jamboree 2012 - One Faith, One Love, One Church was just... AWESOME! :)

We are Form 4 now (16 year olds), so we were the eldest in camp. And we were supposed to be appointed as Group Leader. Un-very-fortunately, Shaun was in my group. Which meant, that he was appointed as Group Leader instead of me. Naturally I was disappointed :( But it was okay after that. Cause I got to be leader while he did all of the Group Leader's unnecessary dirty work xD Plus, I kept bullying him along the way. It was fun. #TeeHee

I was surprised to find that the first night was exactly same as Jamboree 2012. And I was still curious why Jamboree started at 7.00pm (night)? That's a lot of day time wasted. But nevertheless, the Ice Breaking was funny to play. But the house rules were boring (as usual). Then we had supper. And there were two choices of drinks: Milo or Coffee. I wanted to drink Milo but the small kids (Primary students, Standard 4-6) were like, ravaging monkeys, snatching all the Milo. So being a good Senior, I drank Coffee instead. I was so stupid, I even drank two cups of Coffee. I will regret this mistake throughout the whole camp.

We practiced for the campfire performance with Shaun and Nicholas. We weren't going anywhere And my guitar string broke! :( The G-string. I kinda enjoyed telling people: 'My G-string broke.' xD Vulgar, I know. And thank you Eric and Jude for giving me new strings! I feel so embarrassed :P

Midnight
We can't sleep. We as in me and Amelia. Stupid Coffee. Stupid us for drinking the Coffee. And that Auntie isn't helping by shining the torchlight in our faces asking if we've slept or not. Oh please, someone who has slept will obviously be woken up by your glaring, evil, light. But we didn't sleep. We couldn't. We ended up chatting throughout the night. And it was funny, cause Shantal woke up halfway in the night and mumbled-whined: 'Mosquito bite meeeeee.' Then she went back to sleep. It was sooo cute! We couldn't stop giggling after that.

17/11/2012
I was just drifting into a half sleep when my alarm, set for 4.30am rang. I felt like crap waking up. We bathed. It was a sad experience. I chose the toilet without a toilet bowl. It had a hole instead. And the shower was so weird. You had to press the button and after half a minute, the water stops running. It was so tiring to keep pressing the button whilst avoiding falling inside the toilet hole. Yeah.

We finished all our bathroom stuff around 5am. And...? We realized that we had 2 hours to kill before breakfast. So we sat at the breakfast corner and played guitar. There was this Standard 4 girl named Angelea (if I'm not mistaken) and she was staring at me playing guitar. And so I asked her what song she wanted me to sing and she quoted lyrics instead of telling me the song title. Oh my goodness, she's so cute lahh :D

Guess what? We were singing halfway and it started raining! :) They blame my voice.

Blah blah blah. We had breakfast and whatnot. Then we had sessions! Us Form 4s combined with the Form 3s. I was slightly worried about sessions cause we were barely awake. And according to my experiences from 2010, sessions were *whispers* boring. Well I was correct. The first session was on Communication. Pfft. We knew how to communicate already, thank you very much. It was so dreary and long (Sorry, Uncle!).
Yeah. That's us.

Then we had Team Building! It was surprisingly fun! We were supposed to group in a group of 10 and I was like:'Why not we team up with the boys? Since we have 6 people already, right? So we teamed up with Derrick, Eric, Michael and Tristan! :D So funny lah them. We played The Number Game, Hot potato, Tie A Knot Without Letting Go of the String and Save the Eggs (I made up the names myself, okay). Team M.C. (Michael Chin) ROCKS! :D
Hot potato. Lavene kept missing xD

The Hot Potato game was fun and funny. We had to pass the aluminum potato to one person only. And the pattern must be followed. (Lazy to explain) When we started we couldn't even pass one ball. It was so funny cause the girls kept dropping the balls (okay, weird sentence). But in the end we managed to do it. We started calling each other by their surnames. It was easier cause there were mostly Chinese in my group and our surnames are short (Woon, Ng, Chin, Quek, Tan, Chong) But Teressa, Tristan and Derrick's was long (Arrais, Joey and Emmanuel). But we had fun :D

We were doing the sassy Girls Generation pose ;) We so cute, I know :P Lining up from short to tall. You see how terribly sad it is that I'm second in line? xD
Ahahahaha. This one is very silly also :D The game hasn't even started and we were so focused on taking funny pictures xD

Innovative time! 

We had to build a contraption to save the eggs from breaking at a height more than 2 meters. And the Physics students (me, Eric, Amelia and Derrick) were arguing about the design of it. It was really funny. Cause we were like: 'You gotta give a parachute cause then it will give resistance and break the fall.'
This is what our contraption ended up looking like :D (oh dear my chubbiness -.-) with Michael the Group Leader!
Team M.C.! Minus me and Michael, of course :P 
Experiment time! 
 Guess what? The parachute didn't work! xD Ahahahaha. But we only broke ONE egg. Which is really good lah, seriously.

Then we had games. I think it was meant to be station games, but God rained on us. So we ended up playing inside the Hall. It was lead by the Youths and it was kinda fun. We had a few games which we had to combine with another group and I was lucky enough to combine with Michael's group, St. Ignatius! (Not very sure about the spelling, sorry :P) It was fun.

There was one, which was called Psychologist. We had to choose one person from the group to go out and when he came back, the rest of us had to act out the symptoms of our sickness. It was hilarious. Our group got "I think I'm Barney (The Purple Dinosaur)", "I'm afraid of the floor" and "I'm obsessed with airplanes". The last one the little boy couldn't guess the word 'obsessed' cause Michael kept using Justin Bieber as a hint. xD So silly lah.

Then there was the Chruch snatching game. It was dangerous and violent. But the solution was peace. I'm lazy to explain so I wont. But one boy cut his head because of this game :(

After that, they gave us 3-4 hours of free time to practice for our performance. Finally my group, Holy Family got together to practice our performance. I know the performance wasn't good, but I liked it. Cause my group members are the most adorable people ever. Oh shoot. I even forgot what song we sang :P And I gotta thank Nicholas cause he was in the Choir and he went inside Church to steal borrow the choir book which had chords. He's a really nice dude :D

After we finished practicing, the girls, Me, Melanie, Amelia, Shantal and Teressa SNUCK OUT OF CHURCH TO MELANIE'S HOUSE TO BATHE AND DRESS UP. Yeah, we're sneaky like that xD The campfire theme was Hawaiian Night so we dressed up. We always dress up :D

Oh and I like Melanie's house! I shall go there and swim cause she has a so-called-tiny swimming pool! #Teeheee.
See? We so flowery :D
The Campfire was beautiful. And I helped Jude with the games for the Campfire (I'm still a Scout no matter what!). We played Walking Around the Campfire, Joe in the Button Factory, The Hokey Pokey and sang songs. The kids were really cute and I think (?) they had fun :D

Funny thing about the Campfire was the girls nabbed the seats right next to the Chinese Group in the Catechism (This sentence doesn't make sense but I don't care) but there wasn't space for me cause I went practicing for the performance with my group (we were first to perform, more on that later). So when I reached there, I had to sit on a plastic chair behind them. And once I sat down, the bunch of Chinese boys immediately dispersed. Uh. What? Naturally, I'm insulted. So I said to them: ‘做么这样怕我?我又不会吃你!’ (why so scared of me? I won't eat you!) And their reaction was: ‘哇!她会讲华语的嘞!’ (wow! She can speak Chinese!) Oh My Goodness. I was speechless.

Oh oh oh. And the boy from the Chinese Catechism, Ambrose Tan? Damn, he can really play guitar man. He's a fan of Sungha Jung so you can guess what he does. I was dumbsturck.

I had already lost my voice due to screaming in the Team building. And I was screaming during the Campfire too. So I don't have any voice left.

When it came to the performance in the Hall, I didn't, couldn't sing. But it was alright. Cause we weren't that good anyway. But I'm happy that my group tried hard. :) They are the sweetest people ever! My group was lucky enough to get the first to perform! Tee hee. So we got to perform, then kick back, relax, and enjoy everyone else's performance!! :D

I can't find any pictures for the Hawaiian Night, so I'll just skip describing the performances, kay? :) Teressa's group was really cute. Amelia's group was nice too. Melanie's group was sweet (ST. FRANCIS OF AAAAAAASSISI! :P) Lavene's group was very cute also :D But I think the best was Shantal's group. There was this little Indian boy who made me promise to scream out his name during their performance. He was just 10 years old and he was like, freaking adorable, OHMYGOODNESS. Ahahahaha. But he had a long indian name though. xD So I was like, ALEHRSDLFJKEJFLSJDFKJ RAJ!!!! He didn't hear it though :(

Okay. Warren's group won. They deserved it :)

Then Father George performed. Oh my goodness. He danced to and Indian song and it was SOOOO funny! And all the Indian people knew the song. I was like, whoa. :D

Oh did I forget to mention? We Gangam Style-d for 3 or 4 times on that night alone, *sigh*. I don't like the song, but its like a MUST to learn it, ish. And I think I wrecked the Youth's performance, sorry :(

Then we took lots and lots of nice photos. So just look!
With Jude! He's our Catechism teacher and he's so nice. He feels like a (very very) big brother :D
Us with Michael :D Yes, My smile is retarded :) 
With Nicholas! Oh my goodness, he so tall lah :D He's super talented too! I can't find a instrument he doesn't play! He helped a lot with my group performance :D
Hey beautiful Teressa Arrais :) We had a blast sweating, didn't we? ;) You're so talented at photography and you are just so so so friggin' adorable that words can't express, okay? Love you lots lots lots :) 
Oh hiiii. Me giving them THE LOOK cause they didn't take a picture with me :D 
The Warren Fernandez. He was flirting with this girl ALL THROUGH JAMBOREE, OHMYGOODNESS xD
Michael and Warren! Yes, I feel awkward. And short. 
Teehee. I like this picture :D Michael is such a nice guy and super adorable! (Phuah Shelvin shut up) 
This picture so cute :D
Ahahahahahahahaha! This is like, my favourite! To quote myself: 'If Warren was doing the forever alone pose we would all go "Ew!'

Okay. Whoops. I just found photos we took before we took photos with the boys :D Whateverrrrrrr. Its my blog! I can do what ever I like :P
Us trying to redo the 2010 pose :D
Whoops. We failed :D
Hawaiian Night Girls! :) love this!
Me and mah DIAPER PANTS. 

And now for the photo spam. Tristan took the photos for us. So if it sucks, its because of his so-called "Skills" :D
Love this photo belly belly belly MUCH!!! :)
If you scrolled through all the photos, here's a collage that Teressa made :) 

After that crazy night, they forced me to bathe, cause my sweat drenched my tank top :P So we bathed. Then we went to sleep. Ohmygoodness, we slept at once our heads hit the... Well we didn't have pillows but you know what I mean :P

18/11/2012
We woke up. We even laid in. We ate junk food in our rooms. We were all super tired. Shantal slept on the floor after she finished packing her sleeping bag and she got a bruise. *Sigh*, skinny people. Teressa was tweeting ;) And me, Amelia and Melanie were stuffing ourselves with the sandwiches (well, I was :D).

And I was so bloated, ohmygoodness. The photos we took at the last day I look the worse *sigh*

We were at the hall.
Mum was looking at the photos and she was like: 'You see you, so round.' :/ Okay Mum. 
Melanie was doing her hair flip :D Oh my goodness Melanie. Do you have any idea how freaking adorable you are?? I love how you dress, I love your house, I love how kind and un-evil you are. And how you're so shy and so not attention-seeking. I love you lots and lots! You chinese-eyed retard  ♥ 
Ohmygoodness Amelia :) You're so beautiful. But you're so shy :D I'm so glad I got to know you so much better! I hope that we will get closer and closer and closer! I love how you're so kind, and so helpful and you put up with my loudness and laziness xD You're so nice, so beautiful lahhh. Love you love you love you! 
Oh you skinny-little thing. I'm so afraid I'll break you everytime I hug you x) You're so beautiful lah. Looking great in every photo, smiling so prettily :P And I like it when we dress up :D ahahahah! You so sweet and so kind and sooooo nice! No one could ever ever hate you. Aiyorrr. Love you so much, kay? Love love love! 
The Chinese Girls :D Lavene Chong ah, Lavene Chong. Y U SO LESS JOIN US D?? :) We, I, All of us, will always welcome you with open arms, so sorry for ignoring you sometimes, but we still love you, okay? You so beautiful also lahh. And sometimes the badass things you say xD Makes me laugh! Love you a lot, okay? 
With Lorenzo who moved to St. Francis of Assisi :) 
Mum asked why I was taking a picture with this tall mixed boy. I said cause we're friends :D LOL, Tristan, Y U SO TALL??!
Tristan: 'Zorro ah?'
Michael:'Nooooo.'
Michael: "Batmaaaaan.' Ahahahahahaha! This is so cute! xD
The two Amelia Qs! They're so cute, ohmygoodness :D
Lost and Found. So funny xD
Form 3s! They're seriously the most adorable bunch ever :) 

Okay. The Jamboree came to an end! And it was time for GROUP PHOTOS! Naturally, we nabbed the best spot: IN THE MOST FRONT. :D Yeah, we're bad*ss like that ;)

So did I forget to mention? I was the one screaming Jamboree Rock Slogan. It goes something like this:

Me: I say Jamboree You say Rock!
Me: Jamboree!
You: Rock!
Me: Jamboree!
You: Rock!
Me: I say One You say Faith!
Me: One!
You: Faith!
Me: One! 
You: Faith!
Me: I say One You say Love!
Me: One!
You: Love!
Me: One!
You: Love!
Me: I say One You say Church!
Me: One!
You: Church!
Me: One! 
You: Church!
Me I say Holy You say Family!
Me: Holy!
You: Family!
Me: Holy!
You: Family!
Me: I say Jamboree You say Rock!
Me: Jamboree!
You: Rock!
Me: Jamboree!
You: Rock!

Teressa started the idea and then I enhanced it :) So with this slogan, I was given the title of Jamboree Rock Girl :) I like this name. 

So here are the awesome group photos :D
Jamboree Rock! -\m/
One Faith!
One Love! 
One Church! 

Oh its so epic I'm loss for words :D I came up with most of the poses cause I was holding the microphone :P (Let me syok sendiri a little bit lah, kay?) 

I found some pretty photos of them, which they took after I went back home but I'm so jealous I don't wanna post them here xD

Okay lah. I post lah. You see? SO jelly lah me :D
Super love this photo :)
This too, teehee :D

Okay. Honestly, we didn't learn much in this Jamboree. It wasn't like the Port Dickson Camp we went last year where we got closer to God and stuff. But I met so many people and made so many friends. More importantly, my relationship with the girls got closer and closer! :D So happy :)

This is the kind of Camp that you reminisce with a goofy smile upon your face :) 

Its our last year joining Jamboree, *sigh*. But we promised we'd come back to help out as Youths next time! :D

Well, I guess... This is it. The post everybody (specifically Amelia and Eric Tan (who I did not take a photo with at all! :O)) has been waiting for. :) 

Oh and the boys are seriously seriously ADORABLE :D Shoot me, everyone. 

Whoa. My butt pain from blogging so long :P 

Peace out and Peace be with you! God bless! :)

Jamboree Rock Angel
