MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! ONE AND ALL, HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED AND JOYOUS CHRISTMAS!!
ok this was my christmas week
24th December 2006 (Christmas eve)
i woke up at 2pm and went downstairs to check on the food for the christmas dinner later, then after that, dad came back home and brought me to siglap centres' cold storage to get the ingredients for my cannelloni (it's looks like an Italian popiah), so went there and bought tomato puree and mascrapone (cuz the ricotta was out of stock and that was the best substitute), after buying the ingredients, went back home and started cooking finished at 4.30pm then watched some tv while waiting for the cannelloni to cook in the oven. then sis and bro-in-law came wif my 2nd niece, brought christmas pie and salad, then bro and sis-in-law came wif my 1st niece and 3rd niece, brought lasagne and tiramisu then at 6pm we all started digging into my mum's curry, my maid's chicken, my sis-in-law's mums' turkey and penne and all the things i said above. after that scrumptious dinner, took some family pics and opened our presents, i got a nike arm wallet, Cantebury of New Zealand rugby tee and a shirt. after that went for midnight mass and go to my mum's fren's hse for some christmas party then came back home and slept at 4.45am.

alright yesterday came back from SPX camp but did't blog cuz tired and playing vegas =)
ok so here's wad we did at camp:
Day 1, 4th December 20060700: went to church to get help leaders get stuffs ready for camp (as i was a facil....hahahah)
0830: registration for the boys and got them into their groups
0915: Fr. Fred's prayer before we went to camp site
0930: reached st. stephens school (yup thats our camp site)
0945: got the boys to the hall and settled down for breifing from camp cheif (Dax)
1000: breifing on the "house" rules, monito, point and flag system, camp and fiesta night theme (Our Identity in Christ)
1030: Ice Breakers, played whacko and where the wind blows
1100: got the boys to their "corner" and made their group flags
1145: get the boys settled into their sleeping areas
1200: lunch
1245: prep. for fiesta night
1315: session with Fr. Fred (talk about why are we servers)
1400: rest (some groups weren't resting but trying to capture other group flags)
1415: game 1, Bondage
ok here's how the game works, groups must bond themselves up by the arms and must not break, whoever breaks must be taken out and forfeited for him back. around the school there are papers with the names of your own group names on them, the objective is to find them, simple as that.
1615: water break
1630: Prep. for fiesta night and shower (still some groups were trying to capture other groups flags)
1745: walk to church for mass
1800: mass in church
1845: dinner back at camp
1945: Prep. for fiesta night (same thing happend with the groups)
2000: Praise and worship
2045: night station games
ok this is what happend,
the first station which my group went to, was supposed to put stuffs through our clothes, stuffs like, eggs, chalk, and soaking wet with soap sponge. then the next station, we were supposed to shoot hops at night plus the ball was black!!! so at least my group managed to get some in, but i couldn't cuz the leader in charge told me to shoot a 7 pointer!!! then next station, we were supposed to use our spoons to hold an egg and transfer it to the next person on the opposite side sounds easy, but we cannot use our hands even during the exchange so it was damn tough. the last station was an obstacle course, we had to blindfold ourselves and crawl through tables, benches, and raffia strings2145: rest
2200: wedgie ops
ok it's a game so i should explain it, each group has a cloth shoved down he's pants at the butt area, and the enemy was supposed to pull it to "kill" us. the objective was to steal the opponent's flag. each group has a medic (which does not have to wear a wedgie and cannot steal the flag), a few defenders and a few attackers. if any of your group members does not haf a wedige (means they are dead) has to call to his medic for another wedgie.
after the groups had their turn, it was time for the LEADERS VS BOYS, and of course us leaders won (as always) it was like a running rampage, this was our strategy, 2 leaders to stay back and guard and the other 7 to attack and it was not a normal attack, it was a straight line attack which looked like this:
0 0 0 0 0
0 0
0 0
flag
and then me and chander the 2 power houses in the leaders were attacking so when we moved, and u see from the opponents point of view, it looked like 5 guys attacking, but when the first 5 moved to the sides, we showed up and stole their flag and ran back to base.
next round, different strategy, this time we cheated by having no wedgie at all!! and had 2 in our hands and ran forward to attack so it looked like we were medics and we could not die so again we stole their flag and won the game.
2300: bath/ supper/ auctioning (auction for food and drinks lar)

ok this is also a game so let me explain it, each group will have to line up with their hands on each other's sholders and the last person will have 2 ballons tied to his legs (1 on each ankle).
the objective is for the head of the caterpillar to step and burst the other team's ballons to "kill" them.

2330: capture YOUR flag
it's a game so i shall explain it.
the first round is for each group to find their own flags (which the leaders hid) around the school, and if that was not hard enough, the school was haunted!! so some little boys didn't want to find so they went to sleep. and the second round is for leaders against the boys ( where the leaders will hide their flag and the boys hide theirs and try to find each other's flag.
