So I'm back from TeenStreet. I'm SUPPOSED to be sleeping, and SHOULD sleep seeing as I'm tired and all.
But I'm in a blogging mood.
after all I haven't updated in donkey years. okay..donkey days.
MY SISTER IS HOME! SHE"S HOME FROM AUSSIE! the thing is, because of TeenStreet, I wasn't around to fetch my sis back from the airport. So today is the first time im seeing her in
months. So, I was estactic to see her. and guess what, she bought me YARN! not just normal normal kind you know, it's this kinda feathery yarn, I'm thinking that I might make some nice stuffed toy out of it. so furry and soft! :)
During dinner we were laughing our heads off about well..the usual family stuff were only your family gets it, and only your family will laugh till ttaers run down your cheeks. :D Tomorrow gonna escort my sis shopping haha. by escort meaning I'm not the one doing the shopping loh, just the eh...consultant but more higher
pangkat version lah I'm the sister right? :P Besides I quite like that, because I don't have much patience shopping for clothes... ahha. I'm more of a book person. books are the
main source of attraction. or if 1Utama starts selling yarn(the good quality ones) super cheap :p
And then of course about TeenStreet...
Honestly, I wan't sure how it'll go. Firstly, I knew no one. okay actually I knew 2 people there. But one of them, I haven't talked to in a long time. another who's well a fountain (Allo great counsellor friend!
:) ) So I had to socialize. which is a good thing I guess, to really get to know new people and not stick with your little groupies all the time. I got to know my net group quite well. :D Secondly, I've never been to TeenStreet before, so I had no idea what to expect. But I've heard so much about it. so, I guess I DID have my expectations. Well, it was fun, and well one of the few camps Ithat I can honestly truly say is properly catered to youth :D
I wasn't so used to the worship though, my church's music is considerably more conservative. Besides, my music taste is quite different from the super jumpy rockish kind.so throughout the worship service I was quite silent..I did sing the songs I knew and tried to join in some of them. But mostly I was reading the words rather than singing.
TNT race... I shouldn't have worried so much about my costume. I was the only person from my net to bring a cambodian-like (or what little we knew of their clothes) costume.I was quite stressed about it(ask my eldest sis..she saw it firsthand) jumping around my sis's room, until she solved my
"I have nothing to wear!!
" problem. For my net group, well we only completed 2 events ahha. The one I remember best is the 'post-war trauma' event, we were supposed to put our head close to a pole and walk around it 7 times(the kind souls toned it down from 10 rounds...probably should call them wise souls too..seeing as what happened to me ahha), well I did just that..up til the 6 or 7th round, I was slowing down, then I stood up after my 7th round or tried to since next thing I knew my head was on the grass. I remember some guy was shouting "stand! stand! Whoa whoa.." and I was like "I am standing!" and then I just plopped down. Our 3rd event was going to be slippery escape. but the alarm thing went "AAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" so we all had to stop.
anyway I'm getting really tired now. sooo might update more tomorrow :)
