What do you see? iC! i see...

I thought I’d write a bit about the spectacular camp that I spent my mar holidays on.

iCamp. It was called iCamp because the i stood for Identity in Christ. The camp was a secondary segment camp held at the GB Centre at serangoon, and though it was a secondary camp there were plenty of new P6s. I was supposed to go help lead one of the groups, that is, play the games with them, bunk with them, and just be there for them. I don’t remember having any thoughts about being a camp leader (maybe I was too caught up with JC work) but I’m definitely glad I agreed to it. I really enjoyed the time I spent with my group, even though the group took a long time to warm to each other and the leaders. There’s a certain gratification in living for someone other than yourself, and simply put, I believe it’s because seeing somebody you care about smile makes you want to smile too.

Funnily enough, the parts of the camp I enjoyed most weren’t on the program. I liked singing in the bunk during free-time and talking late into the night with Chong Hao and Clarence. And I liked bathing at night in the cold water and eating food out of a packet. I think it reminded me of BB. (:

Today, I was sitting at the church hawker with some other iCamp-ers helpers after we broke camp. Samuel was next to me and he just turned 17 today. Someone said “I can’t believe I’m 18 already” and someone else said “yeah, same.” I’m going to be 17 in four days, and you know, I can’t believe I’m so old either. It seems only yesterday that I was the cute P6 in the camp.

Oh speaking of which, please don’t get me anything for my birthday! I think I’m really more than blessed already. :D
