hmm-hmm~la-la

hehe... perhaps most people can sense from my title that i'm in a quite happy mood...

Well, i just came back on sunday from the Christian Youth Camp in Port Dickson, with all the youth. It was an extremely enjoyable and fulfilling trip! In fact, after being amidst so many people for those few days, i miss them and the atmosphere so, so much. Being alone in my room and in college when it is the holidays is not exactly welcoming, if u get the idea....

anyway.... i am very happy because... hehe... =P i had a lot of fun in the camp. even coordinating to serve was a very nice experience. my group was in charge of one of the games, separating beans with chopsticks. it was so funny to keep changing ways they picked the beans, and then scare the youth whenever they dropped a bean, or when time was approaching its limit... haha!

another game was, the XY game. actually the motive was to gain the most positive points to win. there were 10 rounds in the game. the game was actually based on trust, that is, each group would have a representative to flash either "x" or "y". if everyone flashed "x", each would gain 100 points. if anyone flashed "y", the "y" person would gain points while the ones who flashed "x" would lose points. but if everyone flashed "y", all would lose points as well. bottom line is, you had a better chance to win if you flashed "y".

after 2-3 rounds, it became clear that we weren't really going to be able to win. so we changed tactics. instead of winning by gaining positive points, we were going to win by negative points. hehe.... hence, after that, every round our group rep flashed "x", and our points became further and further negative. someway in the middle, we thought that we should support our rep, so we started cheering and clapping every time we lost points. it was hilarious because everyone couldn't understand why all of us were laughing like mad while we were actually "losing".

we did lose, in the end, our points being an astounding -2700. =D then even more surprisingly, the serving one actually praised us, commended our group that we actually did not complain even though we lost. he said how we actually had more trust and love, by sacrificing to allow other groups to win. then one of the youth in a winning group said, "haiyo...see! let them get the glory already!" hehehe..... it was even more funny because we never thought of it in that way at all.... =P

hmm.... hope there'll be a trip again soon.... i would love to have so much fun and enjoyment again!
