No Apologies Camp @ Golden Sands, Port Dickson

Date: 17 - 19 August 2008
Venue: Golden Sands, Port Dickson
Event: CBC youth camp

A great and wonderful 3 days journey with the youths of CBC (can't remember what it stands for >.<). For the first time, I conducted one whole session of No Apologies on my own with no one's Daddy's help. It was pretty scary since it's my first time. Although I've been observing some of the few best facilitators doing it, it's totally not the same. It was so silly exciting to have agreed to my colleague, Chloe, that I'll go with her and assist her, not knowing that I'll be handling one whole session on my own. But it was a great experience to me.

Well, the room was wonderful. Slept the bottom level of a double-decker bed with Chloe at the top and 2 other females from Seremban. The food was awesome so-so only. Don't think it was enough to go round.

Not forgetting..it was my birthday on the 2nd day. They were so nice to have bought such a huge cake to celebrate the other youths (whose birthday was on that same day too) and my birthday. Of course..that day, lunch was somehow not enough to go round. Chloe, 2 of their leaders and me sneaked out and went near by for lunch. Lunch was definitely delicious although banyak lalat flying around.

Overall, the 3 days camp..was definitely AWESOME!!

Big Fat Heavy Gorilla

It's always awful to be sick till you can't get out of bed, needing people to do stuffs for you, and having to take the awfully tasted liquids and big pills called medicine. It's even worse when the sick cycle just goes on and on..one moment you're all better, and the next moment you're not.

Gee..right now, my chest feels like a BIG FAT HEAVY gorilla sitting on it. It makes inhaling so difficult. I guess that's why they call the puffer thing as an inhaler, which is supposedly to make inhaling easier.

Right now, it's a wonder that I can still see through my tiny little eyes that has swollen due to some kind of allergy and typing this entry. Being sick is just so awful. Especially when your immune system is a weak one and your antibody just doesn't seem to function.

Since young, I've always gotten sick. Thanks to the asthma I almost had to stay in a hospital. Thanks to my white blood cells that decided to go missing, I was admitted to the hospital about a month before my SPM! How nice that is.

All I can do now is to sit here and grumble..or..to just take it easy and see it on the bright side. The bright side is, I don't have to go to work..yahoo it's terrible. I can sleep in the whole day and be pampered by er..someone? anyone? NO one.

It definitely ain't nice bout being sick. Food restriction, sleep restriction, activity restriction..
Sigh...just a silly thought if the saying is actually true...
