I. hated. the. journey.
The camp was held in Chefoo Methodist Centre which I'm familiar with.
Held within the labyrinth of its grounds and structure are some of my fondest childhood memories.
Held within the labyrinth of its grounds and structure are some of my fondest childhood memories.
It was the place Andrea, Joanna, Yung Yao and I played the Mad Game and had just too much fun.
It was the place Shekinah and I made friends.
It was the place where we sang "Walk, walk, walk, walk in the light. Pling plang!" thanks to Kennard who is a natural at percussion.
It was the place where my childhood friends and I got ourselves entangled among the bushes but pretended we were in a maze.
It was the place where I smelt and tasted delicious shortbread.
It was the place where I tried my first frozen fresh strawberry ice lolly.
It was the place where the boys played ball and in the process, managed to get it flying towards my direction..or more accurately, my head.
It was also the place that appeared in my dream before I ever step foot into it. Il est Déjà vu!
The moment we arrived, it was time for the morning session.
Once that had ended, a telematch was next on the schedule.
So while they had fun, I fidgeted with my camera.
After the telematch, I had personal tutoring on photography from Jeanette.
[Shoutout to Jeanette: THANK YOUUU. :) ]
Daddy volunteered to be my model.
I know, I know. It's a miracle the camera is still intact and working.
We went out for a drive around the tea gardens.
The scenery is just breathtaking.
Campanula is common in the highlands.
Refreshing green tea slopes
The tea estate
The shoot of the shrub
...and someone had to shoot a pic while I pick a shoot.
Dad tried to play hide and seek.
Unfortunately, he's pretty hard to miss. LOL.
I think Japhia is awfully photogenic. Don't you agree?
Eating sweet potato balls is on the 'Must-Do List'.
After that, we stopped by the cactus farm.
Dad and I playing among the flowers.
The cacti certainly caught our attention.
They were...
outstanding...
and bizarre.
The hot twin pricks.
Our last stop was Bala's Holiday Inn for Tea and Scones. Another 'Must'.
Tudorbethan structure and design.
Daddy then decided that he would show me how to take REAL pictures.
So he took the camera from me and started snapping away, in a purely professional fashion.
Then he passes me the camera and I was awestruck by his creativity and talent.
Below are all the pictures he took:
He ooozes raw talent. A Picasso in photography.
Anybody want to hire him?
:S
This is Japhia making steely brace marks through the scone.
I just love my Robocop sister. :)
We returned in time for dinner and after the night session, off we went.
I. hated. the. journey. back. even. more.
*mumbles*
