Well, I just came out of this Christian camp for MGS primaries that I've been a student leader for. there are twelve groups, and they're named after the different groups in the Bible. Mine is Group Twelve, Haggai. And I discovered one thing: small kids(Primaries) have the ability to lift up your mood. From the moment I stepped into the chapel the entire place was as quiet as a cemetery. And I took out my book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and started to read. Then Becks(My fellow group leader, of another group. Her real name is Rebecca.) came along and she said: looking forwards to leading? NO! Why? Because I'm not the normal sociable person. I'm a social idiot. I prefer being by myself than being with people. We continued chatting till most of the people were here, with their parents bringing them in. Then I thought: here goes! I shall have to learn all the names of the people in my group. So I just wrote all the names of the people in my group on my hand from the attendance list tacked up on the wall. Then I went over to this little girl in an Olson shirt, and asked her what her name was, and I said that i was Ka Onn, the group leader. Her name is Elizabeth. And she just started talking, like this is my crab Crabby. Crabby has the words Chilli crab under his shell, and he holds chilli in his left pincer. Then she asked questions like do you like pets, or have any? She has a dog named Curly. She drew it for me. And we exchanged phone numbers. Later when it was snack time, we sat together and started talking. I showed her my teddy bear named September. We played with Crabby and September. Crabby attacked September, brought him back to his lair and wanted to have spicy steamed bear. So I made Superman fly down and capture September. But Crabby hung onto September and so we dueled. Or rather, I came up with plans to kill Crabby and rescue September, and she'd come up with plans to combat the plan of mine. Another girl, Darienne, watched us play. We let her be the nurse when September went into the hospital. IAT snack time, she skipped off to play with her friend Gillian. I was still eating the bread we were given and I watched her and looked at the sky. Then it was really peaceful.
