orientation officially ended as of yesterday. really fast with 2 events left in council.. gosh. :(

anw orientation was good. it was such an experience definitely for myself. and the j1s. hope they have a good life in jc..

okay shall cut the crap n talk abt campfire! :):):):) successfully held yesterday though sadly, it rained and rained and i was in a horrible mood the whole day. :( (and i flunked my maths test) worked on the fireball from 12+.. and i thought i was ok cos i felt that if we get to burn, we're really lucky but if we dont, so be it cos we cant control the weather anw.

then i got SUPER pissed off over some stuff and it took me like half an hr to calm down again. and i think my pissedoff-ness showed. sorry to anyone i pissed off! but nvm, shall not talk abt it alr cos i think its over and insignificant now.

all this until sharm sort of pep talked us (i cannot stand these things, they make me cry!) n i cried lo. haha. but really i got so so so so much support from all my council friends (campfire comm, snr, everyone else). and im really grateful for that. everyone was telling me 'it'll (fireball) go up and burn'. though i didnt really believe in that, i felt loads better. chernwei even got me honey water and talked loads of crap to make me feel better :D and what more can i say but i love hugs :) im not alone in council man cos im sure alot of ppl felt the same way i did. (esp my other 2 campfire ic partners and campfire comm)

wet weather proceeded.. actually it wasnt that bad. cos everyone was still enthu and the squeezy hall felt reli cosy. :)

but i screwed up the dances cos i wasnt in the mood. :( (obviously there was alot more on my mind)

but guess what?!

the rain actually STOPPED for like 30mins. so we speed hoisted and were all ready. the ppl came down aft dance session. the central plaza was like half packed. the wings were packed. ppl lined the 2nd floor (bridge and wings).

it all just engulfed me. BIG NIGHT :)

and i almost couldnt believe we were burning the fireball. nervous moments.. allison walked down the isle with the torch.. lighted the '3'.. and i saw it go '3..2..1..TURBOcharged..', and then the wheel in the most beautiful fashion ever. it was the best burn we've seen. together with all the cheering. better than ALL our trial burns. it was then that i finally put down all my worries and everyone hugged each other. I LOVE HUGS. and this time, i had tears of joy.

OUR BABY :)

if there is something called a miracle, that had to be it.

cos right after the burning finished, it started raining. :)

i was in disbelief though aft clearing up that it was all over. our 1 mth of hard work, the whole of campfire comm's DNA (ie blood) on the prickly wire mesh, our sweat, tears..

wow.

THANK YOU EVERYONE. :)

we did it.
