JUNIOR YOUTH RETREAT yr 2007 -

The much awaited camp for those of us who are under 15 and above 11? right! zone of insanity and crazy-ness...it was more than that actually. It was something like 'zone of screaming our lungs out, losing our voices, getting injured hands, and jumping for joy.'

This year's theme?- walking with God. Well, that was what the theme was suppose to be for the nametags. Special thanks to Miss Loke and Mister Thum for giving out ideas on what the nametags should be. After having to brainstorm for what names should we give the groups, we came up with shoebrands. Ahh! The usual- Nike' , Adidas and Fila. 3 groups were more than enough since there were just a handful of campers this year. The staff had the oppurtunity of being uhh 'BATA's' for 3 whole days =]

Being one of the staff and not a camper is a huge difference! I mean seriously, it's fun to minus marks for groups who actually aren't behaving and uhh yeah- it's just oodles of fun. It's great seeing them being tortured during physical jerk where they have to play a game of 'sit-squat-stand' in fast motion. HEH.

I'll just skim through the pictures really fast. Not much of close up shots since I had to be running around and helping out in practically most of the things in JYR.




We staff, - the 'BATA's' had tonnes of fun filling up water balloons when the rest of em' campers were asleep during siesta' time. After taking about an hour to do so, we managed to have 75 really gigantic-enormous water balloons. Miss Loke and I had to sit right behind in the van to take care of 3 heavy pails + 2 waste paper baskets full of water and balloons. AND believe me! the ride was a very bumpy one which made us both get really wet.

STATION GAMES-
Mister Thum's idea of using elements such as 'fire, water, wind, electric and earth' as stations. NyeHAHAHA! Like I said, it feels really great to see em' campers getting tortured. And in my case, it was really FUN seeing them eating instant noodles without seasoning but with slices of onions and big chunky pieces of garlic + pepper...Oh gosh! You should see the look on their faces when they tasted the food they had to eat.






Mister Thum's station was the worst! - Many of them came back with bruised arms after completing their task as to making a human wheel barrow and the person below had to blow a marble to the finishing line.

Rocking Roommates- With them, You won't be able to sleep throughout the whole night. Even with me in their rooms, they knew that I won't be the one forcing them to sleep at 12. The funny thing about them is that, they can't get sniffy even if the aircond was about like 18degrees. I eventually had to sleep outside on the couch since it was super cold for me in there.
