man how they have changed...

Just got back from an awesome camp last Wednesday. Pre-Mad camp.

I was not supposed to be there as i had class, but i was not able to pull myself away from the camp. It was not just the excitement of the feeling that something great was about to happen, but also...It was the people there.

For those who are familiar with the style of SE, pre-mad usually is held in church and well most of the time everything is well taken care of, which is a good thing because the committee is a bunch of young people with no experience in taking care of people younger than them, and most of the time they themselves are the people that we need to take care of.

After this camp, man i realized, all those "kids" have grown up.

Camp coordinator, Li-anne...
Used to remember her in sunday school not listening to the teacher, playing with her handphone, disturbing other people...now commanding ppl to "Listen and keep quite while poeple are up front talking ."

Sarah Loke
Remembered the first pre-youth camp when she said "How to do pumping...i cant la"
to the sarah that carried David's VOX amp all the way from the car park to chapel, and telling David "Hey i can do something you cant"

John Yong
Always branded as the trouble maker.. Still is :) but now a smarter one, and a more submissive one..and really fun to be around good transport arranger too...
