well, i'm guessing people who knew that i went to my church camp would definitely want to hear all about what happen,so here goes nothing...
it is in fact, a very fun camp i must say, i never regret going even though it's just for a day. the camp was on Friday - Sunday.
The camp was at Kurrajong, a Christian Center. there's many activities we can do there, e.g. canoeing, water slide, horse riding, swimming, watching movies, tennis etc.
FridayPaul was supposed to pick me and Keilah up at 11.30am to leave Lane Cove and since he hasn't finished running errands, he messaged me to say he'll pick us at 12pm. Keilah then requested 12.15pm because she hasn't finish packing, s0 he messaged Ernest to tell him that he'll pick Ernest at 12.10pm but he sent that message to me. -.-" i was suppose to walk to BP Station about 2mins walk but then Paul called and said he can stop by my place to pick so i don't have to walk! yay! i got heavy bag and a sleeping bag but seriously,i didn't mind walking because my bag has wheels where i can pull it! so after he picked Ernest, he picked me and then Keilah then off we go but before that he wanted to pump some petrol so we went to the Shell Station and also had Mackers there. HAHA! then off we go. Keilah said it'll take approximately 1.5 - 2 hours to get there and it's a the bottom of Blue Mountain ! HA! i wanna go to Blue Mountain some day!
i first noticed a cob web in Paul's car at the backseat behind the driver, so i cleaned it and Ernest heroically killed a baby spider LOL. later, Keilah noticed a even bigger cob web on my side of the seat. damn! we didn't wipe it off though, can't be bothered. as long as it doesn't bother me i'm fine. the trip wasn't bored as Keilah and Paul are very good at socializing so there wasn't any awkward silence haha! shared some stuff, agreed to some stuff, disagreed to some stuff etc. when we were about 20mins away from the place, i started having dizziness and feeling a bit sick. i told Keilah and she told Paul -.-" he asked
"omg Sue,is my driving that bad?" i was like wth...NO! it's coz i looked at the friggin map ! i can't read in moving transport. when we reached up the place, we were welcomed by crazy ppl shooting water at us with their water pistols. damn ! WET. i told them i was feeling a bit sick and that Paul is a bad driver =P
anyhoo, we settled in and changed into some very old clothes and went canoeing. we played TIP (which will be known as KEJAR-KEJAR to Malaysians) while canoeing. damn. all of us nearly fell into the stinky lake and everyone was pretty much soaked. LOL. we kept rowing ourselves into reeds and Monica was so terrified she kept squealing (it was partly annoying to my ears) and since Paul was her partner, he kept rowing into reeds. gaaahhh~ we then plucked water lilies (it was so damn pretty) and took it back up to our place and put it in a glass for deco.
we then chit chatted during our free time + also waited for others to come up and waiting for our dinner as well. there was just 9 of us there, some can only come up at night and some can come up the next day so yeah. the girls obviously went to wash up while waiting for dinner. all i knew was, after i wash up and got changed, i saw the boys playing soccer at the balcony. there were fence there of course but it's the small rounded pole kind of fence. so i went into my room and tidy up my stuff and suddenly Victor came in the room asking Heidi to quickly get band aid or first aid kit and come. (Heidi was professionally trained before for emergencies) we asked Victor why? what happened? then he said
"oh Junny injured himself playing soccer"so she wasn't quite sure where the first aid kit was but she went and see how badly injured is he. apparently, the awesome Junny (aka Paul, we call him that) wanted to kick the soccer ball but missed and kicked the fence. his fourth toe on his right foot was sliced downwards and around. it was split apart a little. bleeding like hell. Heidi took a cloth to wrap it first to stop the bleeding then went and search for the first aid kit and bandage his foot. poor Paul. Jo called the reception of the Christian Center and asked where's the nearest hospital. so Paul had to hop around, he went in the hall and sat down. waited for dinner, Scott decided he'll take Paul to the hospital because he knows his way around Kurrajong. so he drove Paul to the canteen even though it's walking distance but of course,with his foot like that, he can't possibly hop all the way. our dinner was at 6-7pm. Paul then confesses his love to all of us during dinner time,he said
"you guys are all so awesome, you know i love you all right?" we were like
'awwww' coz it was so sudden. Scott and Paul left at 6.30pm to the hospital and we were all feeling sorry for Paul so we planned to visit him at the hospital if it does take a long time.
after dinner we went back to the hall and relax and played cards, eating chocolate, drinking tea and stuff. just chillax. we were also waiting for time to past so that we can call Scott and ask how long will it take. Monica kept messaging Paul to check in on his condition, Victor called Scott and let Scott know that we're planning to surprise Paul so let us know when they know how long it will take. at about 7.22pm (i checked my phone for reference haha) Paul called me to tell me his condition, that it will take few hours because they need to do X-ray and stuff, asked me to pray for him. so i said
"okay Paul, will definitely pray for you, hope you're feeling better and see you soon".
our thinking was, if one of us gets hurt, all of us gets hurt too. so i got the phone call from Paul and Heidi got a phone call from Scott at the same time announcing the time that they had to stay there for. but obviously they weren't near each other when they made the phone call. keeps me wondering lol. anyways,i announced the time that they gotta stay so i kinda was the one who gave the green light to leave the place immediately and surprise Paul. we all packed a lot of food, i suggested we take a few cans of coke there just for Paul, Heidi brought Uno, Poker, Poker cards. Victor brought our supper (cakes) and biscuits and we're good to go. Me, Heidi, Keilah and Monica were in Heidi's car and when we passed by KFC and Monica was like
"can we go get KFC for Paul?" so we went to the drive-thru and bought him a popcorn chicken lol. 4 of us paid for it. Victor arrived at the hospital first and then called Heidi to check where were we. so Victor,Ernest and Jo waited at the car park for us and once we all carried our stuff, we walked in the Emergency Center and Paul saw us he was like
"OMG what? why'd you guys came?" and then i passed him the KFC popcorn chicken and said
"we bought this for you" and when he saw the poker games and biscuits and cake he was like
"awww can't believe you guys did this for me. i feel so loved now,so much love".
anyways, Paul was called in and the doctor did an X-ray his feet and took off the bandage that Heidi wrapped on, and then he came out to wait for his turn to get stitches. we were playing Uno on a kid's table that Heidi took from the nursery area and also a kid's chair for Paul to rest his feet on LOL. after a while,i noticed blood was rolling down his feet i was like
"Paul, blood is dripping" *points at feet* and then Jo asked if there's tissue around and she was about to go to the toilet to get some and i pulled out few tissues from my bag to wipe the blood off his feet and the chair. Heidi then wrapped his leg with the bandage again to prevent blood dripping. lol.
after Adam arrived at the hospital we then leave to head back home. Victor decided to stay back and accompany Paul until he's done. so all of us left. we went back to watch a movie as scheduled. there was a mini cinema and i kid you not, it looks like a friggin cinema! except the chairs and everything is a little old but how cool is that man! we watched The Usual Suspects, it was a good movie but i wasn't paying attention in the beginning so i kinda zone out. i was tired anyways. after the movie we head back to wait till Paul and Vic arrives. Chris, Kathryn, Dave,Ben,Sophie and Anna then arrived at the camp. we played cards and chit chatted until about 2ish am and Vic and Paul walks in. whoa. 7 hours waiting at the hospital, not cool. he got 4 stitches.
Saturdaywoke up to have breakfast, Paul skipped breakfast because he said he isn't the kind to take breakfast. right before ministry session started, he whine about the pain on his toes, he wanted to take Panadol with Coke but because he hasn't had any breakfast, he wasn't allowed to take Panadol. LOL. after session we split into our own Connect Groups and then discussed in a group and after that we just hang around the hall waiting for lunch to be ready. since last night i saw Paul's feet all yellow because of the iodin medicine the doctor put on. i can't stand the sight of it because it's gross and nobody wants to help him clean it plus he can't bend to clean it, not with his toes like this. so i said to Heidi
"hey do you have any wet wipes or tissue or cloth that i can use to wipe off the iodin off Paul's feet?". she then said she has wet wipes in her bag and pass me the packet and she said she wanted to wrap his feet up for him too with a bandage pad underneath so that he doesn't feel so uncomfortable. so i took the packet of wet wipes and i told Paul not to move his feet, i sat next to him and started wiping his feet LOL. he was like
"omigosh Sue you're awesome, thanks for cleaning it for me". so i said
"nah its okay, no worries, i know you can't possibly bend and clean it yourself." and he felt so touched he said
"i'll clean your feet for you next time ok? deal?" and i just look up at him and was like O.o"
"what for? NONONO". so i cleaned his feet and you know how the tendons are linked in your toes? Heidi was telling me to be careful in case if i move any of his toes,i might just split the injured one. so i was trying to clean in between his big toe and the 2nd toe, i folded the tissue in half and slide in between and wipe. out of nowhere, Paul said
"Sue,you should be a nurse,you're so gentle". i was like o.O"
"no way! i don't want to." then i started to rub really hard on his feet,nowhere near the toes lol. he started laughing. ish ! anyways, after that we went to lunch and Jo took me to the station after lunch so i can come back to Lane Cove and miss all the actual FUN at camp. actually i had a cousin's 21st to attend.
