Today, 2 years later, I found out that that cynical angmoh judge, the Simon Cowell of the panel, thought that I, May Yap, should have gotten first place in the inter-school Public Speaking Competition 2007.

(I got third that year. Because the other two judges didn't like me that much, apparently.)

I am beyond ecstatic. =P

Yeah, I decided to put off an update about the EYM Camp until I finished my homework (long, depressing story there, so don't ask), but found out that homework can be completed real fast, provided you have no idea how to solve certain maths questions and have no colour pencils to colour the PA graph.

And that my Bio teacher has already printed out the Bio assignment for me, but since I didn't go for extra class, I didn't get it and I can't do it IF I haven't gotten it, now can I? Hehehe.

So, camp. This year's youth camp was absolutely remarkably miraculous - for the simple reason that I didn't get a single bite. Not a single MOSQUITO/SANDFLY/COCKROACH bite. Cockroaches don't bite? Oh okay never mind. Point is, I was left unharmed. =P Absolutely miraculous. =D

Now where do I start? Well, my team consisted of Caryn (group leader), Kevin Robin ( ass. group leader), Disney Jaboh (GI Joe), Mark (for three consecutive years he was put into the same team as me), Nathan Rose(the blonde hair blue-eyed heart-throb =P), Emmylyn (the future lawyer) and me (group advisor). Our group name was He-Man, and yes, I do feel much more manly now. xD

In a nutshell, the camp was a blast. The games were REALLY fun because they weren't all physically taxing, and these were new games that we had never played before. Like Battleship, in which the two teams would be hidden from each other by a few cloth sheets. Water balloons would come flying over and we had to stay where we originally positioned ourselves. Talk about suspense. Props to the game master, Daniel Rose (I asked him if he was a brunette, but he said his hair colour was more brown, so I called him a brownie). =D

On a more serious note, Uncle Louis Rose did a wonderful job of expounding on the different types/motives of/barriers to prayer and helped us see things from a different perspective. Before every session, we had half an hour of "Heart To Heart" to commune with God and prepare ourselves for the session. I thought that was a really great idea, it totally made the atmosphere more conducive and in line with the 'Prayer' theme.

Aiyah I'm feeling too lazy to resume this post. Next time lah. XD
