Easter Camp, Day 4

Sunday, 24 April


8.25am
Woke up 5 minutes before my alarm. Wow. Obviously I wanted to go back to sleep.... But I wanna eat.....

8.50am
I'm sore all over thanks to 3 days sleeping on a too thin mattress. Since I will be leaving today I went back to my room after breakfast to pack. It was easier than I thought, I really did pack light. 1 backpack, 1 sleeping bag. Wow, I'm proud of me.






9.15am
I'm a little late for Bible study today because of packing. Meh, everyone else was too XD Bible study was first today, finished up the rest of John 19 then had reflection time. I still don't get the use of said reflection period.


10.30am
MORNING TEA!!! Today it is delicious apple/banana (cannot tell which) brownies!!!! It had yummy cream on top too!!! Gonna fatten myself up XD


11.08am
Easter Sunday Bible Talk, Jesus' Resurrection. Once again, nothing I haven't heard of but nonetheless made me proud of having such a wonderful God. Ended the session by singing one of my favourite song, "In Christ Alone" by Keith Getty.


12.20pm
LUNCH!!!! It's the final meal I'm having in Anglesea so I was half expecting something fancy. Nope, salad and hotdogs. At least they let me have seconds :D


12.56pm
EASTER EGG HUNT!!!! Well, not exactly. There were only 5 eggs to find and their rough locations were drawn and posted. But it was terrific fun to run to these locations, beating others in the process XD






1.34pm
Before leaving, everyone had to cleanup the site, cabins, meeting rooms etc. Cleaning my room was easy, I barely lifted a finger! No, it wasn't cause I was lazy, it was just that easy! It only took us 5 minutes!!! My roommates and I are gooooooooood.






2.26pm
We're ready to leave!! Earlier they gave out the Easter eggs used for the hunt, I have so many eggs now, bith in my pockets and in my mouth!! I really love those big eggs, they're hollow inside and is was so much fun stuffing the smaller ones inside. No pictures cause I ate them before I could think of anything else. Currently eating while waiting to leave. 


2.50pm
Finally leaving!! My car was one of the last ones since the driver is the organiser of the camp, and we got a bag of marshmallows for our patience!!! YAY FOOD!!!! I also connected my iPhone to the car's radio so I was listening to MY songs on the way back. Good times.....


4.34pm
Something happened that hasn't happened in 3 days...... MY PHONE HAS SIGNAL!!!!! About damn time too!!!


4.52pm
Reached home! I miss my bed!! I crashed into bed the moment I entered!!


9.15pm
Woke up. Damn, I don't believe this, I barely slept a wink in the ride home but as soon as I got back I slept for 4 hours straight..... Discovered that my easter eggs have been crushed, they resemble pancakes now :D But chocolate is chocolate and THAT my friends was my dinner. 


This camp was seriously the most fun I've had since coming to Australia. I enjoyed it immensely. I can't wait for the next one!!

Easter Camp, Day 3

23 April, Saturday

7.45am
Snooze.

7.54am
Snooze.

8.03am
STUPID ALARM WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP!!!

8.30am
Finally got up for breakfast. I made Teh Tarik. Instead of condensed milk, I put in milk and 3 big spoons of sugar. Taste like Malaysia!!!


9.12 am
Bible talk time. John 19, Jesus' crucifixion. Though his crucifixion was shameful in the eyes of people, to God, it was like a treatment to the rightful King. Bible Study after that was interesting as well. I drew a stick figure Jesus on the cross as one of the activities XD

1.04pm
Left campsite for Great Ocean road. I'm wearing shorts cause my other pair of pants is still wet from the beach. I hope I don't regret this decision....

2.30pm
Reached...... somwhere.... Still a 4km walk away from the waterfall but the main reason to stop is to eat lunch. Yum! I'm hungry! I love the Aussie sandwiches. It's never dry unlike those in Malaysia. I really need energy to hike to the waterfall in slippers.



2.59pm
Drove to Erskine Falls instead. It was drizzling and we were short of time. It was a short hike away. I did some boulder climbing, in slippers. Yeah, I'm awesome. Shorts and slippers were a huge help, they increased my maneuverability. I'm more flexible and willing to get down and dirty compared to wearing shoes and trackbottoms. Cool!



4.12pm
Left the falls and now on the way to the lighthouse



4.50pm
Reached split point lighthouse. Beautiful beaches surrounding it as well. Split point lookout is the perfect place for pictures. I took so many pictures. Camera battery running low...



5.32pm
Time to balik!!! The Great Ocean Road really is a beautiful place. Now it's a 20 minute drive back. And I have to pee....



7.34pm
Campfire!! The fire was huge and hot!! I think I ate over 2 bags of marshmallows. Since we're in the middle of nowhere, the stars are both bright and plentiful. The Southern Cross and Orion was really bright and obvious.



8.15pm
Got bored. Yeah. Had chocolate crumble for supper then played card games. UNO, some nerdy card game, Texas Hold'em, Big 2. You name it, I played it.

1.01am
Still playing poker

1.53am
Had a hard time sleeping. Stupid too thin mattres.

Easter Camp, Day 2

22 April, Friday

7.53am
Stupid snooze that is only 9 minutes long. Stupid breakfast at 8 in the freaking morning. Stupid morning that is morning.



8.18am
Went for breakfast. I'm still half asleep. Ate 2 apples. Did you know apple can wake you up better than a cup of coffee!? Well you do now. But I'm still sleepy. Stupid morning.



9.07am
Bible talk time. Read John 17-18, Jesus' betrayal and arrest. Nothing new but still inspiring.

10.11am
Reflection time. Morning tea will be at 10.30 then Bible study. Morning tea? So soon after breakfast? I'm gonna get fat in this camp....

12.36pm
Lunch time!! Delicious pumpkin soup and garlic bread. Mmmmm.....

1.44pm
Left campsite for outing. There were 2 options, a stroll trough the wetlands or a romp at the beach. BEACH!!!!

2.45pm
BEACH!!! My shoes are completely soaked! Water is freezing cold as well. I love it!!


3.37pm
Had to leave D: On the way back a friend dared me to eat an olive straight from the tree. Not. Cool. It tasted bitter. I'll stick to olives on my pizza thank you very much.

4.00pm
Afternoon tea. Yep, definitely gonna get fatter.

6.16pm
DINNER TIME!!! And it's beef!!

7.00pm
Games time. I kicked ass.



9.34pm

Daredevil

Ya know, you gotta love Australia, they are willing to do street performance for money. I've seen people sing, breakdance and even have a band performance on the street! I also saw a small girl plying the trumpet, SO CUTE!!!

But no act can surpass this guy.

Not only did he ask for a 10-year old volunteer, he gave the boy knives, 3 to be exact .


At least he's doing his act in front of a church. God may take pity on him.

Knife suspended in time
This dude would make an awesome parent!! He asked to boy to THROW 3 KNIVES AT HIM!!!! Oh, did I mention he was 10 feet in the air too? On buckets.

Scared.... So scared....

Someone is changing his mind right now. LAWL. He almost missed 1 knife, it was about an inch from his chest when he caught it. Accidental or intentional? I don't want to know.


One more!
Juggling knives 10 feet in the isn't dangerous enough for this dude. Naturally, he has do do it on a super small bucket as well.


Does it make me an evil person if I was chanting "Fall, fall, fall" throughout his act? Nah...


Awesome pictures are awesome!

Yay! He did it! This is why I love photography. Watching it in person is good, but when seeing snapshots of the event, you really can see how dangerous it is. That and you're really respecting the guy who has the balls to do this!!! And hope he fails miserably!!


I took this picture too!! Cute kids watching dangerous acts!! Middle Eastern children are so adorable but why is it when they grow up they become so ghastly!?
