I left my blog untouched for more than 2 weeks.
It almost died.. again.
At least now I have something to blog about..
I just realised, my holidays were just the same as the previous years.
The first few weeks of the holidays would be kinda empty.
But from the 2nd week of December onwards would be filled up almost completely.
There were only 2 places I went for this past fortnight if my memory has been working as it should be.
The first was of course the YDP, which most of us wouldn't want to miss.
second was going to Ipoh and Alor Star. or Setar? whatever laaa..
YDP this year wasn't the same as the previous years.
It changed.
Almost completely.
Whether it got worse or better, I dont know.
But it just feels like it's not the same anymore.
This year we had around 30 youths from Klang, 40 from both LAP and Jurong.
The other youths from the other congregations made up the rest of the 20+.
First thing I noticed there was that there were many new faces, but many missing faces.
It was like a mixture of being happy and sad at the same time.. happy and sad doesnt make a neutral FYI.
First day there, games were all indoors.
This was due to the safety precautions they decided to have.
Icebreaking this year wasn't as good as last year's.
The grouping came.
I was in group 1.
it was my second time being in the first team.
And I was somehow chosen as team leader.
So in the end, we had a team with the worst leader.
Ask the others. =D
The last time I remembered being in the first team was during Leo Youth camp.
Anywaaay..
This is our team.
the 15 of us? the other 2 went missing anywaaay..

This was taken on the last day of the camp.
(left-right) first row: Krystle, Zelda, Eustacia, Eunice, Sze Yin, Naomi, Candy
Second row: Ee Ren, Jia Chin, Zilin, me, David, Kelvin.
Johnathan, Jasmine and Jonah were not there when we took this pic. the 3 J's. Lol.
Zelda was like the assistant team leader. Thanks Zelda a bazillion for helping out.=D
Ignore my face. I was looking retarded and exhausted.
Our team was like the team that won second places, and sometimes first, sometimes last, but in the end we still emerged as.. um.. I'd better not tell which position we got.
The gunung Ledang resort wasn't completely renovated.
The dorms were still.. bug infested.
hahaha. not really bug infested.
But we had bug everywhere at night and in the morning.
But the biggest thing in the room was this Gecko.
It was the size of.. um..
wait, it's length was the length of my arm?
I think..

It seems small here, but trust me, it's really huge.
It was big and scary enough for the guys in the dorm to catch in with plastic bags and try tossing it at the girls' dorms. LOL.
Here are a couple of random pics from YDP.
you have been warned, the pictures below are too gay. well not the pics, but me. =D

The looks on everyone's faces when under the stupidity of the team leader. =P
We had the urge to take at least one of this type of pics every youth event.
um.. yeah. that's me trying to explain why we got only the 2nd placing. LOL
And during free time in the dorm, we goofed around.. and this is what happened.
We had Heroes in action in our schedule on the last night.
Turns out to be talent time after all.
I didnt get any of the talent time vids or pics.
But it was.. LAME.
imagine a sketch with Barney, Batman, Joker, Hyperman, and so many other characters. Not forget spongebob. O.O
anywaay, i was Hyperman and.. yeah.
Had to act hyper.
If someone actually recorded us, I think i'd dieee.
Seriously.
The last day was awesome cause our team won the tug of war.
Skinny guys and girls plus barney.
David played barney by that way.. LOL.
We got 2nd place in overall.
team 1 got 2nd place, team 2 got 1st.
We lost by 20 marks.
Gah.. see what I mean?
In Leo Camp, it was team 1 losing to team 2.
and team 2 got first, team 1 got second.
difference of 2 marks.
So not good.
We all had fun anyways.
I was so tired on the last day.
Kevin and I stayed up the entire night again.
We played Cho Tai Tee with the same few LAP people again at 6 in the morning.
During the closing ceremony thing, I slept almost all the way.
Couldn't help it.
Krystle hit me a few times when she saw me swaying with my eyes shut.
Lol. Swaying buddha?
We slept all the way home.
And.. yeah.
I reached home, ate, showered and played blackshot till 1.
Yeah, nuts.
On Saturday and Sunday, I went for my school's Leo Christmas Charity Bazaar.
Standing and doing nothing is tiring too actually. lol.
I dont have anything much to say about the bazaar though..
The coming Tuesday, the 23rd, My grand uncle and aunt came from singapore.
They brought their 2nd son and my cousin from ipoh.
They're all really young I tell you.
Their son, JingFong, is my uncle but he's the same age as me.
Just 9 days younger than me. =D
Kim Yu was staying with them for a month in Singapore.
JingFong not knowing his picture was being taken.
The next day, which was the 24th, we all drove up together in 2 cars Kim Yu's place at Ipoh.
We arrived there one car in the morning, the other at night.
Nothing much on that day.
But we taught JingFong and Loon how to play bridge.
On christmas afternoon, we all headed to Alor Star in 4 cars.
Jingfong and Loon squeezed into the car me and Joan were sitting and we played bridge for like.. 3 hours? all the way to Alor Star.
We had our dinner and checked in into a nearby hotel.
The hotel was so small I tell you.
From the outside it looked like some tuition centre.
Inside, the rooms and the bathroom together were smaller than my room. O.O
We went back to the eldest grand aunt's house, which was along the highway.
They had this big piece of land.
The occasion was the eldest grand aunt's 90th birthday which is on the 26th.
We stayed there until 3 in the morning.
Most of the adults playing mahjong and chatting away.
Kids running round and playing cards.
Next morning we got out of the hotel and to the house again.
Some of us got bored and decided to go to a cyber cafe.
I thought they wouldnt have cyber cafes there.
I think i'd better stop here.
The words are killing me.
Too many words.
plus i'm lazy.
haha.. excuses eh.
Tomorrow is the year end gathering.
Theme colours are black, blue and gold.
Alvin and Christine are coming.
I just hope tomorrow goes well.
That's all I guess.
Happy New Year all. :)
treasure the last day of 2008 nicely.
Bye.
