yep, it really has been a while.

anyways of course the biggest thing happening was agape camp RESTORATION+ which was AWESOME. no pics as i didnt bring my camera (theres heaps though just not in my possession) although i DO have a video of esther somewhat 'stuck' in a jumper. and not the way you're probably imagining. instead try to imagine the jumper tied to her in what she describes as a 'halter top' and then the hood pulled over her head essentially rendering her unable to move, a makeshift straitjacket if you will. she has of course forbidden the release of said video but this kind of leverage should prove very valuable in time.

was also a great way to get to know more of the agapeans especially since still serving in fyre so dont get to see them very often. DAMN YOU AMY AND YOUR HAND THING. but i so got you back with that a-mail. for those wondering its that thing where you make a circle with your thumb and fingers as if you were holding a cylinder. then hold it down low and if the other person looks at it you get to punch them. damn amy got me about a bajillion times but my moment of victory came on the last day of camp.

and then there were the stupid little riddle games that involved a single rule to get the answer. like the bang! bang! who died game (which incidentally drove yu min to near insanity) and the 'this is how you spin the spoon' game. but the one that trumps it all is petals around the rose, clearly the best one since i introduced it. and despite all the answer trading the only ones to figure it out properly were drew and ben.

plenty of fun had by all, games were a hoot. (S-A-P-P-E-R-S! THATS THE WAY YOU SPELL SUCCESS!) sappers of course being my team, and for the unenlightened population sappers are demolition experts, thus warranting the war cry brainchild of alvin; BOOM-TASTIC! funniest game of course the fasion show which involved ben, jon ng and andrew (JONNY TRAN) dressing in drag. (oh dont worry there are PLENTY of photos.) least our team took the high road and entered a MALE contestant, yu min as mr.boom-tastic. oh and played captainball for the first time, which apparently is huge in the asian world, and despite original presumptions (seeing as its essentially a morphed form of netball) turned out to be pretty fun. nights (well the last couple anyway) were filled with raving as jemery's groovebox provided the beats and nat bringing the err...moves.

the last day almost totally taken up by camera-whoring, especially by our cell. though the notion is not unfounded as we are clearly the coolest one. (BEYBLADES ON THREE!) then headed down to mandurah for more ice cream and yet more camera whoring. thoroughly exhausted by the end, we began the arduous journey home. so tired in fact that i ended up trying to race jeremy and alvin home just to stay awake. i would have won too if alvin hadn't chickened out and exited at roe hwy. of course they didnt actually know i was trying to race them but an internal victory is a victory nonetheless.

then SNAP back to reality, to perth and to new job! lombard the paper people, it's the place to be. especially if you need party stuff. yep part of my training involved blowing up balloons and arranging them into centrepieces etc. plus the fact that there are several tanks of helium around the store ensures endless hilarity. and finally a source of income makes the deal all the sweeter. here i come wii. :)

well thats about all thats happening down this end, its busy busy, work later, youth tonight at spcc, tmr with mum, tmr night at drews, ushering sunday. phew.
