I dare to be different. Do you?











































































friday (14/09/07')
Came home from school, took a shower, changed and when to church. I was in bus 2 along with Kathlyn, Ivy, Jarita, Shasha, Nicholas, Grace (whom I sat with), Kassandra, Stephanie Poo, Jordan, Nigel, Joshua and some other people I cant remember. :P reached 'the farm' at 4 something 5 (not sure) unpacked in the dorm then had briefing by Martin followed by free time so I went exploring the place and finally saw the pond (that, btw, had fish in it). There were many animals there such as dogs, raccoons, iguanas, birds and ROOSTERS!! We then had another briefing and were told that we were playing the angel-mortal game! my mortal was jordan. After that, we had dinner. My guardian angel sent me 3 pieces of cincau. :) food was 'sinfully delicious. After dinner, we had a session that ended at 10.30 and then had supper and we went to sleep. I hardly slept because the rooster started crowing at 2 a.m. and would crow for every half an hour. -.-

saturday (15/09/07)
woke up at 6.30 a.m, feeling hyper. o.O took a shower and went to the deck for breakfast. Had to cook my own but I was to lazy so I bribed damian into frying an egg for me :D sat around talking to the boys. After breakfast, we had one session then had light refreshments followed by another session then came lunch. My guardian angel sent me a plate of guava (because the night before when "it" sent the cincau, I turned to nick and said loudly "thank you! but i prefer guava *insert goofy grin here*") After lunch, Leanndrea, Damian and I lead praise and worship. we sang dip - dip, pharoh-pharoh and a few other songs I cant seem to remember. Straight after, we went into our session then had tea. My guardian angel sent me a hug, through one of the guys. Tea was followed by another session. Had a 5 minute break and then we had activities. The first one was we were separated into groups and we formed a circle, we all put our right hand up and joined hand with the person opposite us then we were to do the same with our left hand. Once we were tangled we were to form a circle without letting go of anyone's hand. My group won first both times we played. :P the second activity, we were to form shapes in our groups but we couldnt talk or say out the instructions. It was hard, but we managed to do 10 shapes :) there was the trust activity where we were to get into a group of 5 and we were to make a cross shape and the person in the middle was to be pushed around. FUUUN! (guess who voluntarily became the middle all the time? :P) we also had one more game which was all the girls lie on the floor face down in a straight line, closely together, and each one were to roll over the whole line of girls. Super fun! :D Another activity, see the theme for our confirmation camp is 'DARE TO BE DIFFERENT' so we were split into two groups and each group stood at each ends of the deck and then Martin put on some music and we were told to dance all the way to the other group one by one. At least 6 people went across and then the people from the other side started shouting and chanting, 'joanna..joanna' and the people from my group did the same. O.O So, I did ballet all the way to the other side and Jarita did the banghra. Epitome of cuteness! After our activities we all went to the field to play games. We played 'do you know your neighbour?', poison ball and then came the suprise game. We were told to sit in a big circle and close our eyes. There was water balloons and lots of buckets of water *get the picture right?* It started to rain and Martin said, "Ok, everybody POND!!!" everybody ran and jumped into the pond. I really wanted to and the water was nice, deep and cool and deeeeeep *well if you know me then you will know why i didn't go in* So Teacher Jackie, Cassandra and I were playing under the rain. After about 10 minutes of playing in the rain, i decided to go and take my shower. After putting soap and rinsing, the water decides to suddenly stop and I so happen decided to wash my hair that day. so i wrapped myself in my towel and go out of the cubical, turn on the sink and the water was full blast, so i said, ah forget it, so i just washed my hair in the sink. It took me and hour :P 'desperate times call for desperate measures.' After that we had a barbecue, well technically it wasn't a bbq because it was all prepared earlier and all we had to do was eat. We had sausages, lamb, prawns, fish and salad. my guardian angel sent me lamb :) and when my gurdian angel's messenger sent me the lamb, i refused it a first cause i was full :P then Adrian was like, "no no, joanna, you have to take it! you have to eat more! you're so tiny la!" Then Zach was like, "Yesyes! You have to take it! Don't you know it was sent with so much love from your guardian angel? And besides, you look like you need lamb" So i just shutup, and took it. After dinner, it was inner healing <3 Beautiful and magnificent. Words can't express all the emotions felt. Then we read the letter our parents wrote to us. Throughout this whole session, I never stopped crying. We then had talent night. Zachary and Adrian showed off some football skills. *typical guys* then Nigel and Ethan did like the wave or something with their stomach. Had musical solos by Micheal (guitar), Timothy (violin), Cassandra and Alyssa (singing). Then we had wushu and akido demo. Then Ethan, Jordan and Sandra did some shuffling. Fiona, Ashley and Sandra did a cheerleading routine. After that Fiona and Sandra ended it with a dance. Finally went to bed at 4.
