Chruch camp

All right. Been really busy with all the paperwork (I thought I had to finish within one day. Anyway, I took 2 days to transfer all the hardcopy data to softcopy. In other words, I spent my entire two working days on the COM typing non-stop. And what happened, I typed so fast that after awhile, I begin to freak out. Since when did I type that fast. Haha. Ego ego.
This week had been pretty eventful. On Sunday, I called my boss to ask whether I could apply leave to go for church camp. Well, I prayed about it for quite some time already and obviously I know I will be able to go. The type of confirmation is somewhat similar to how I feel towards the MOB trip before I signed up for it. Anyway, my boss told me that its impossible to apply for three days so I was quite taken aback by that negative response from him.
Went to plaza sing once again for lunch. I had the intention of playing ‘serious Sam’ but before going LAN, we went pass this shop at douby ghaut mrt station. It’s an X Box game shop! Both Ian and me decided to try out for like one hour while waiting for Josia to join us later at 5pm after tuition for LAN gaming. The first game we played was Excalibur 2 I think. Can’t really remember the name of that fighting game but BOY was it exciting. All the moves were pretty impressive. After like 45 mins, we decided to change the game since we tried using all the characters already. Ian thrashed me quite badly but overall, it was an awesome experience. Shall go there next week or maybe wait till the price dropped. Currently, the price is like $5.80 an hour, which is like quite crazy. Oh, I missed out my second game. We thought of like playing for another 15 mins so we chose NBA something. Chris and Ian started playing first because I sucked at this type of games. Shall not elaborate on the game.
During LAN, like what always happens, I got thrashed again. Notice the trend. I think I am only good in strategy games or maybe RPG games. Those that requires no thinking, I tend to screw up. Oh well, that’s what happens to people with high IQ and EQ. Sigh. How I wished I could be like them. So simple minded – no worries!! How nice!
When I got home, I called up Ailin to tell her that I’m going for camp, even though I couldn’t take leave. I somehow feel that I should at least get the boat moving before God can steer the boat and lead me along and so that was what I did. On Monday, I approached my boss again and this time round, I bargained abit and thank God that I was entitled to one-day leave (Friday), which was better than none. One problem gone and the next one emerged – transportation. My mum will never allow me to travel alone and so I spent practically two days calling up people to ask if there’s anyone going for camp at a later date or time. When I was about to give up asking people and just let auntie Sue arrange for me, I went online to have a break from that entire calling. The first person I chat with was Deborah and finally, I found someone who had things on Thursday and will only go for church camp at like 7pm on the 17th June. Everything is more or less settled now. I am left with one last one. Mich told me that her dad will be going back on Monday which means I had to transportation back. That one I will really leave it to Auntie Sue to help me.
Will be going Golden Mile this Thursday with Deborah to check the timing for the coach to Malacca. I hope we can get a good timing like erm, 7pm? That will be perfect so people, please pray for me ya. God bless!!
