Just returned from camp..... this year's camp was an entirely different experience for the both of us, for we weren't YGZ but were instead helpers, helping them oversee the programs and all... Many things happened in the duration of the camp.... and all I can say is, God has truly been watching over these pple during the camp.......we had wonderful campers and lovely weather....something we wish for in every single camp.....Darling and myself are v. drained right now....coz we've been sleeping very little these last few nights.....we really do feel old.....we can't keep up with these young teenagers anymore......funny how we are only 22 turning 23.......the difference in age may be small, but the limits of our body is clearly changed.......Had lots of fun teaching the campers their Lindy Hop....and I think they had fun too.....teaching them was very satisfying and very fulfilling.......Although the venue of the campsite was rather old..... with lots of insects (that massacred my legs!!!) and non-existent shower facilities...yet....I think it was a very nice place....calming, safe...and really really peaceful......Have gained closer friendships, strengthened the existing ones....and looked after the young kids....... Darling and myself are so different this year as compared to other years...... I realise how much patience teaching has offered me.....I no longer lose my temper as much.... and I am able to relate to them the way I would with my students......Darling?? well, he's really different this year.......he actually brought himself down to the kids level and had lots and lots of fun with them...this is unlike other years where he would clam himself up...and not really interact with them. Thought very hard abt some of the friends I've gained and lost in the course of the last few years.....more on the latter actually....and all I can say is....It's at times like these that I wonder how much I really really thought I knew you.....
On a lighter note, had our food tasting today, and the food was not bad....both our parents loved the place.... and am quite pleased....had a little misunderstanding during the big dowry thingy...but...I do hope it's all solved.....20 more days to the wedding....it's less than 3 weeks away......I don't know what to say.....i guess the jitters are slowly coming on to me....haha.... have to really get everything solved during the course of the coming week especially since Darling has taken leave to look after his parents' home that is under construction........so much much more to do.........
