Confirmation Camp

well, i just got back from the MBS Rawang Resort about 3 hours ago, where my final confirmation camp was held.
the journey there was okay, and i was in the same car as melissa, sonia, jane, alcia and two other aunties. we got into the mvp cos the van was taken by kristyl, rainier, desiree and the others. they just couldn't wait to torture raymond with justin bieber songs, ever since raymond mentioned it to us herd of buffaloes just right before the trip. how much smarter can he be? ¬_¬
well it was all his own fault
we were kinda off-timing, cos we were supposed to be there by 7 p.m., but reached there a little later than expected. this is all because of raymond's driving and also those justin biebers that raymond had to babysit. well he was just lucky enough not to have ludatelle there.. or else he might die before we even reach our destination. the resort was located deep inside a forest with winding roads, so remote that its almost impossible to locate it.

the first person that i met was sean. what an outgoing fella! so later in the day i warmed up to more people. i noticed something about myself though. the phrase that i used the most was "whats your name again?" cos i just cant remember names! there was this dude who said " you asked me many times dy la"
how embarrassing.. ughh. the sessions were okay, the only thing everyone looked forward to was the pool!
at the pool yesterday : i cant swim, so all i did was just soak in the water in my clothes. raymond and his gang were having water polo, and heck, he looked like a giant in the water! the water level was at everyone's chest, but when he stepped into the pool, it only reached his waist! so he started to splash water on everyone, mostly on me. at first he tried to drag me into the pool but failed. we had our payback time when all of a sudden his leg cramped. sonia and i grab this oppurtunity to splash at him in return. muahahhaaa!!

later, i saw roy walk by with sandra. he made some gestures with his hands on wanting to push me into the water. i got up and said to him that if he's got balls then let me push him into the water instead. i guess he's just those type of guy that cant be challenged. he admitted that he had 4 balls, but i kept the convo going by asking him is his balls are made out of plastic. we walked to the 6 feet deep area and he challenged me to push him, but i sensed that he was gonna pull me along, so i turned away and left. he, in turn, grabbed my hands and forced me to the side of the pool. i was trying to grab anything that i could touch but there was nothing.. i told him that i can't swim. he brushed it off saying "come on la". he was really strong - he just literally flung me out into the water. the moment i fell into the pool those chlorinated water swallowed me quickly. i felt my feet on the tiled ground, but my head was still underwater and so i tried to stay afloat by moving my arms like mad. this time the water gushed into my nose and mouth, but i managed to get some air before i started to sink again. the next thing i knew, someone jumped into the pool and dragged me up to the surface. he pushed me up to the side of the pool. i was soo relieved but at the same time had panic attack as this was not the first time i almost drowned. when i opened my eyes, i see auntie t, brandon, rainier, joshua and roy crowding near me. i was hyperventilating so much. i was coughing out the water from my nose when i heard someone asking me if i was alright. i got up, made my way to the toilet and had to explain to about a hundred people of my condition. at that time, i got so scared that my hands were basically numb and shaky. the next thing i know, desiree cut her finger by the rotating fan. that place was pure evil.

so later in the evening roy came and apologised to me. at first i just walked off cos i was still angry. the second time he approached me i made him tell me his side of the story. apparently, according to him, i did not tell him that i couldn't swim. i did! he twisted the whole story by saying he didn't hear what i say. not only the apology was insincere, he even turned the whole story around by saying that he saved my life. wtf! more like he almost accidentally killed me! i accepted his apology anyway.

later in the night i met the most awesome person in the entire camp. and his name given by me is mister awesome, real name richard. i went out of the room to get fresh air, wanting to sit on one of those benches but all of them were wet. then i heard someone calling my name and at first i thought it was brandon cos they were wearing the same colour, but it turned out to be two of the facilitators. he made me tell my story to him for the millionth time. i dont know why, but apparently he found the way i present it funny. hmm... well thats when i found out that he is awesome, if not as awesome as i am. and it only took us one conversation.

part 2 of the story is gonna be continued prolly tomorrow cos i am really tired. all my energy is drained cos i was playing the name game with mr. awesome until about one something last night, and i was woken up today morning at 6.15 a.m.. what a life!
