Retreat treat...

Predictably, this is where I'm gonna post one for all the new experiences.


It all started out like some would expect, just a normal retreat camp with bibles & dancing right? naadaaa~~ It was more than i had thought of and expected of.. Of course, you won't see a change in me. But on the inside, I've learnt to see some things with a different point of view. It was around 2.30pm sumthing sumthing, and finding the place while my mother drove fast was confusing. Afraid we'd already passed the kionsom baptist retreat centre cuz we didn't think it would be THAT far.. but, in the end we got there anyways.. first out we saw Joey & Jonathan... Oooo they were the first to get there, and we were the 2nd.. yes, everyone else isn't there... but that gave me ALOT of time to explore the whole place.. (not cuz it was fun, but becuz there's nothing better to do) After settling down, enjoying the view, and finding a ping-pong table that ain't got no bats or balls to play with... humans started filling the place. It was simple enough to understand, their room rocks, our room sucks... reason? the all-so-needed AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. I mean, everything seems fine.. until you come to realise your sleeping with two other guys in a puny room and a puny fan. And that fan don't help much, especially after you've gone through a HOT day and feel like cooling off in front of something that is "supposed" to cool.. To all the people out there... STOP GLOBAL WARMING!! other than the comfort i just stated, i just have to say i love the games during devotion.. probably because it's so boring there that even the slightest fun the brain detects, becomes overly entertaining.. (that was not an exaggeration) when the boys have free time, there's only so much we can opt to do.. let's see the list:


1. Ping-Pong into the night


2. Chomp On Chips, lots of em'


3. Talk, also known to the civilised world as Communication/Socialising


4. Basketball, rarely played when we were there


5. Share Magic Tricks? O.O


Now, believe it or not.. that's the only thing we COULD define as fun.. at least while we're there. But then again, nobody said it was gonna be THRILLING. There was a part that was actually quite boring though (to me), it was this game where each group was given a camera and we had a list of things we had to take pictures of... Interesting~ though we didn't get first place, it goes to show losing ain't exactly fun. BUT.. SOMEHOW.. i liked the retreat.. @.@ don't ask me why, i just do.. somehow.
