27 Oct 08 - Camping @ NACLI

i had a very interesting long weekend this wk.. well, it started with my anticipated boredom which gave me the 'drive' to involve in this activity alone.. i went SINGLES CAMP OUT @ NACLI! Well, i really miss NACLI training site.. had great memories there when i had my leadership camps there.. good old days with great fun.. So when i saw this activity to be held in NACLI, i'm so keen to register for it!

walking through the halls, the lodging rooms, carpark, dining hall and even the stairs hold great memories.. esp the games site.. i still cannot believe my group then actually carried me through the little tiny hole in the wired game! after more than 10yrs,i'm still amazed how they did it.. great memories of how we went through the 1-wk training, knowing one another from different schools, and we even cried so sadly in our final night.. though it's just a camp, we really had great fun and bondings.. on our campfire night (talent show), i even acted as the little girl in 'baa-baa black sheep' nursery song. really miss all of them.. can you believe i still have the training program book which all of us signed on it for one another. it's just so memorable!! how i wish i can have another chance to camp like that again!!! imagine 30yrs old adults having camp fire, dancing friendship dance and chasing around like kids in the dormitory rooms? haa..

ok,enough of the super sweet memories.. well, this time was not that bad.. i have to bear in mind that most of the campers are above 30yrs old, hence ... not really i'd described as 'camping'. but it's always nice to know new people..

personally, the most enjoyable thing is when all of us (girls n guys) all crowded into one of the guys' room last night. had such a long hearty chat about 'why are we still singles'.. we started this 'go-and-see-their-room' at midnight, started chatting and it went on with so much buzz till 3am! i cant imagine how some of them can still go for supper (shall i say breakfast) after the chat and our breakfast is at 830am this morning! (i know i have stamina for all the walking, the games or even the sports but not this! i need my beauty sleep :) )

ok, for some of u who are wondering if i've met any good candidate(s) for my consideration.. erm.. sorry to disappoint. but it kinda brings me to a better and clearer understanding on my requirements (this list is really getting so defined now!!) it's not that i'm being narrow-minded, but it's always good to know what you want - the 'core values'.. but i'm also keeping options open for friends.. well, i still believe in miracles (if you truly desire, fast and pray) :) meanwhile, i enjoy being single - to meet up with new people, though loneliness might kicks in once in a while (bear with me ok)..

don't worry abut me, i know God has everything in His control :)
I love this passage when i chanced upon it during my life pit,...just wanna share with you..

Love grows deeper, stronger and more beautiful when it is planted by God kept in His Will;
Nourished by His Word and warmed by the sunshine of His ever-abiding presence;
Always walk together in the happy ways of love;
Trusting in the grace of God to lead from above.
