I'm officially lacking sleep! haven't been sleeping normal nights since the start of Jing Xiu Ying.... sighz...what with all the 4am nights during the camp, I'd thought I was already deprived of sleep. Boy, was I wrong!!

Am doing all my wedding favours now, and have completed about 190 of them....still have another 60 to complete. Darling's busy with the decor for the car, as well as the guestbook.

There's really much to be done...if I carry on at this rate, I think I'll be not in very good shape during the wedding. So much to think about, so much to worry about.

08/12/07 - Meet wedding planner at 1100hrs; Chang Nian Da Hui @ 1400hrs; family dinner @ 2000hrs

09/12/07 - Reading in Church; Curia @ 1245hrs; Xmas Party @ 1430hrs

10/12/07 - Going to the florist; gown fitting; decor to purchase, hair dyeing session

15/12/07 - Wedding Rehearsal @ 1000hrs, purchasing of decor items from IKEA, packing for the DAY and the honeymoon

During this entire period, however, I have to complete my wedding favours and decor!! Feel almost suffocated....

Thank God Darling is on leave this week, so he can help me out with the stuff....been sleeping at about 3plus each night to complete the favours asap, and waking up at 9am to come house-sit Darling's house whilst renovations are being carried out.

Surprisingly, I completed the video montage for JXY in one go...took about 3-5 hours....a much faster try as compared to the one I tried to do last year. It's of much better quality too. Haha...can't wait to show it during the Xmas Party...just hope nothing goes wrong!!

Sighz..I have not idea as to why we came up with the theme of Winter Wonderland. I really am clueless about what I want to wear!! I don't wanna buy anything that I'm gonna wear only once!!! have to get the gifts as well...*sighz*

Been reading all the "kids'" posts on the camp. I'm really amazed at the lengths they are going through to keep in touch. All the conferencing on phone and MSN.....haha...makes me think back of those days in 2002 where we ONLY MSNed........but we went out a lot. So I guess we equalled each other....hehe..

Am glad that they all loved the camp. Darling, Angela and me were analysing...and figured that this time, all the YGZ were closer to their age, and they had "older" campers amongst them as well, which made it less dictatorial in a sense..... of course, the fact that the entire camp's focus was entirely not on God made it a much more appealing thing!! =)

As Angela so aptly put it yesterday, "Pet, your tagboard suddenly very busy ah!!" Yup, i sure do think so....glad you all enjoyed the dance so much, and that it had such a great impact on all of you....when I was conceptualizing it...was really worried you wouldn't like it, and would have a problem, especially with the couple part...turns out it's quite a good idea after all, coz it made you all interact even more than you would have on an individual basis!

As for being a YGZ, well, it seems glam, seems like lots of fun, in addition to the fact that the YGZ are far more bonded than all the campers at the end of the camp, and are the ones who have the biggest emotional and mental reaping after the camp, a lot of hard work has gone into the preparation to make it what it seems like to you guyz. Of course, after trying to make sure that all the stuff prepared goes through perfectly fine, there's the seemingly never-ending meetings to go through EVERY night....there's where you really feel the strain. It doesn't help that there's people like me and Robin who have very high expectations of the YGZ, that no matter how tired you are, it is imperative that you do not show it to the campers at any time at all.

So...for those of you who feel like being a YGZ is a dream, do place yourself in reality... =) haha. I think what's most sad about it is that once you become a YGZ, you no longer can fit in as a camper. It amy not seem that way...but it sure is, especially back then, when there was no other pple to do the camp, and we continuously had to do camp after camp. But we survived, and maybe that's why we expect more of you guys... =p

As for now.....just enjoy being campers, being young, and enjoying camp after camp with what the YGZ have prepared for you...trust me...the stress is definitely 100% lesser!! When your time comes, you will be approached....don't have to worry about that! =)
