So I just went out with family to eat the biggest meal ever. I feel like I'm going to die because I'm so full of food. My stomach is about to blow up and destroy me from the inside...

But yeah it was Maru @ sunnybank instead of the city where we usually go. At the end of the meal I realized the reason the boss dude looked familiar, was because he was the same guy Kieron talked to at Maru in the CITY when he/i bought a drink for that hot/not korean guy... He was the guy that grinned at me when he asked who it was from. omword, I sure hope he didn't recognize me.

Now, summerfest.
What do I say about summerfest.
Okay let's split it up into three parts.
Wait I'm going to change clothes first haha. - I lost weight at camp, as always// because I eat so much at home but dont exercise.  Whereas at camp I have to participate in physical activity. My pants kept falling off today as I walked around. = =

Part 1. 
Let's start with my packing skills. I packed the morning before camp. Got up at 9:00am and had 2.5 hours to pack.  I ended up with a medium/largish suitcase. It was pretty big but that was because it was partially empty and partially filled with food. I get there and most of the guys have 1 backpack... I felt weird for packing so much.  Bus ride there was fun. Chilled with Ella with K-pop while playing temple run. Good times.

Part 2. Acom.
The acom was pretty below average, let's be honest now. They mixed up heaps of stuff because it was the first camp in like 3 years which hasn't been in Sydney.  People payed more and got dodgy places, some people payed less and got really nice two story apartments.  We ended up at a place called nomads. It's a backpackers resort. I'm never going to stay there again. They had a decent pool and volleyball court but it was always occupied with drunk people due to the bar in the middle of the place. There were tonnes of foreigners from all over Europe.  The room we were in was 4 bunk beds, two showers, 1 toilet, 1 sink, 1 mirror. THAT IS IT. There was no other furniture. Nowhere to hang towels, put bags, no seats. Nothing. ROFL.  Neways I had a top bunk. The sheets were cleanish... but the blankets were most definitely not. I slept with two jumpers covering me. There was also a small fan but it only reached half the room, not my half of the room. ROFL. It was hot, stuffy small and the floor was unbelievably dirty. You never took your shoes off inside, even in the showers haha!  It was really close to the J centre though. Which was where the conference was.

Part 3. What happened. 
After arriving at camp we hung around at the site. This was Wednesday afternoon. Conference only started at 8pm and we arrived by 3.  Chilled, walked around, went to the shops, ate subway for dinner. It was also raining which sucked but it was still cool. Met some new people as well. Samantha we met before the bus ride. She goes to ablaze.

The first conference was epic. The PA system was really good and it was a high ceiling so the heat could go up, the air-conditioning system was also really good. The seats were all set out like S1 at school. A big sized lecture hall version with stairs though. Crashaun* from sydney spoke the first night.
It ended at about 11pm, we all dragged our luggage to our assigned rooms, showered and got to sleep by 1am.  Woke up by 7:15am the next day, went to coffee club for breakfast. 15% surcharge because of Australia day, such an expensive meal.  It was good to have a big brekky though because the day was super long. Sesh started at 9am and finished around noon. Had the day to chill/eat whatever after that and only had to be back at 6:30 for tribal war preparations.

We ended up buying KFC for lunch, after we'd already purchased massive slushies as well. The other girls went to another resort place to swim. We went to the beach instead. The rain stopped and it was just cloudy. We walked to the beach - it was pretty close - there were so many people there, swam for hours until it was like 4:30.  Finally got out cuz the waves were super rough. Got smashed by two waves. My swimmers nearly got ripped off cuz the wave was so strong when it crashed on my back ROFL. Then as soon as I popped up another one hit me and sent my spinning around like a pretzel. GOOD TIMES.

Walked back and had showers. Dressed up for tribal wars and headed to J centre again through the lovely drunk people. Learnt the chants and skit we were performing. Blue is the biggest tribe.  I was in green which was 2nd biggest, we are ELECTRO. and red was the smallest tribe. Green represent! Neways Sesh started and red was the first performance. It was a story where everyone did weird actions and someone read something out even though you couldn't hear her speaking.  Then they got boo'd off because it lead to nothing. Blue was another story, we were like REALLY GUYS, what about being original!  They were slightly better but still bad.  Ours started off with a video of a dude running and he becomes a car to a plane to a rocket to a space ship into tonnes of people. and then we were all wearing hoodies and did an electro dance/chant. then our mascot in a morph-suit was unleashed in the middle whipping her hair back and forth, pwning a person dressed in red and one dressed in blue. The message was clear. We pwn. We won the skit and the dance off and one of the harness competitions.

It was so funny, I pushed eloise out as a volunteer from electro and she had to wear a harness and grab a dog treat in her mouth. Then the leaders had to grab a raw OX heart in their mouths. Praise and worship was crazy. There were tonnes of inflated things flying around. Beach balls, punching gloves, whales...
And everyone was hardcore passionate. Coolest people legit.

That was the 3rd last sesh. Went back to camp, while other girls went for slushies. On the way back we met two guys who asked us where the nearest ATM was, we didnt know so they asked where 7 11 was, we knew that. but then I noticed the blonde one looked like an anime - like really pretty features but good looking and manly at the same time. Then they asked where we were headed and we're like nomads, and they're like The bar? and we're like aha.. nope.  then it was awkward so we said bye and left.

Em and ella ate cereal. I ate meat. Cuz thats how I role. I washed my hair before all the other girls got back. I dunno how ella and em didnt wash their hair the whole camp~ I can't sleep if I have beach hair especially after a night of hardcore dancing. We did see a lot of guys wearing the same clothes over and over though...  Anyways my hair took forever to dry argh. Everyone got back and we chatted for a while then the lights went out> I was the first person to get up. I even let myself snooze twice. I got up at 7:30, washed my face, brushed my teeth, had an up and go. then we got messages that we had to be outa nomads by 8:15 and everyone freaked out. We realized later check out time was 10am so we cud take our time and just get to J centre before the sesh started. We packed and everything by 8:30 and after returning our sheets/key card we were at the J centre by 8:50. Right on time. BOOM.

Jerry spoke at that sesh. It was probably the best session in my opinion. I really liked what he said. He talked about David and Goliath. How David was the youngest of his brothers. To a young person it seems that he's the most legit guy every taking on what everyone else feared. But when you look at it from a different perspective. It wasn't even David's fight.  He had three older brothers who just stood by and did nothing. The point was, we are now the older generation, we are powerhouse. We should be standing up for wildlife, not letting kids fight our own battles.  Boom. Message was amazing.

The last session was in the afternoon.  Then after that we chilled around until the bus came to take us home. Got home, ate food. Got picked up by Emily, went to church, church finished, Em dropped me off at homegroup.  Played with Clayton, Mario kart on Wii.  Ate food. Got home at 12. Slept.
THAT IS IT.

Didn't take many photos.. I'll add a few later though. They're all bus photos XD

<3 bye!
