QUEHUONG6.5: SAIGON!

okay, so camp was.....FREAKING FUN! best camp ever. and here is my recap. QUE HUONG 6.5 BABY. so camp was at chino hills. between MAY29-31, 2009.

friday: got to church with my overpacked duffel. and got into groups. SAIGON FTW. my group was seriously the best. SO STACKED. it was me, david vu, bob!, jason!, huong!, sophia, vincent pham, and lisa tran!. seriously stacked. and then we got into cars. i was STUCK with hiep and teresa. and i was like, “sorry if i ruin your ROMANTIC DRIVE!” and they were like, it’s okayyyyyy. and in the car, it was really funny. cause hiep is freaky. and teresa would ask me “jessica, i’m gonna hold hiep’s hand okay?” i’m like... dot dot dot. *awkward silence* but they’re a cute couple. cause she calls him boyfriend. and hiep is a retard. OKAY! got to camp. it was SO SO SO NICE. bad side: BUGS GALORE. so many bus. i wanted to die! but the scene was so nice. and beautiful. and the lake. i felt all nostalgic. and i wish you guys could’ve seen it. [MJKK!] and then we started playing with the logs. and there were A LOT white people there. camping. so it was like. whitewhitewhiteASIANGROUP.whitewhitewhite. it was pretty funny. and we went to one of the bathrooms. and the stall had NO DOORS. IT WAS SO GHETTO. so we were like, uhhh...anyone in here. *awkward* the other bathroom was better. EXCEPT FOR THE DEAD BUGS ON THE TOILET. *dies* and then we had one hour to build a gate and set up two tents. which was pretty hard. OUR GATE WAS SO COOL. it was a mini replica of the DHNS2008 gate with the pyramid but minus the yarn. and it was pretty cool. then we had to MAKE FREAKING DINNER. and we had to BARGAIN. which was fun. cause i was like LOOK ME IN THE EYES. LOOK AT HOW HUNGRY WE ARE. NOW SELL ME THAT TOMATO FOR 10,000 VIETNAMESE DOLLARS. it was so funny. we made sandwiches. yumyumyum. and then at night, we played some games, anh huy’s games. they were okay. but the highlight of the night was anh bao’s adoration thingee. we had a ball of yarn and it started with anh bao. and he’s like “to whoever gets this, i give my support” and he threw it to someone randomly. mine was “to whoever gets this, i give you my determination” and others were like love, lending hand, crying shoulder, listening ear. it was really cute. cause we were all kinda interconnected. and it was really nostalgic-y feeling. *tears* then we went to sleep. and i had a good night’s sleep! WEIRD.

saturday: woke up at like 7. and we got FIFTY MINUTES to go brush and stuff. which is pretty amazing. cause at doan camp with MORE KIDS we have like twenty minutes and go! so fifty minutes was well appreciated. then we had to go bargain again. we made the shell noodle soup thingee. and WE MADE THE BEST ONE. YEAH, CAUSE WE WON! and then we played tugowar/. except you had to tug the rope all the way to the back. grab a raw catfish [dead] and pass it up to the front of the group. SO GROSSSSSSS. the white people were like. what. the. eff. so hilarious. and then we went and had to COOK THE CATFISH FOR LUNCH. made soup and some fish dish. WE WON AGAIN! SUCK THAT! and then. uhhhh, what did we do! played some other games. most memorable game. chi xuan’s guppy game. she had these guppies in a bowl and we had to pick them up with chopsticks and transfer them to a cup. at first it was SO HARD. but i got THREE OUT. i CRIPPLED ONE. MUAHHAHHA NEMO! and i think one died. so uh, i’m a guppy killer. *tears forever* and thennn, i can’t remember! we interviewed my dad for the skit. fun. and then we made dinner which was meat stuff. i can’t translate in ENGLISH! dangit! and WE WON AGAIN. cause our’s was the BEST! yeah! and then skits. OURS WAS THE BEST. BWAHHAAH, freaking. “i killed....i killed.... A CHICKEN!” so funnnnnnnnnnny! i love davidvu trying to woo lisatran with his sexy moves.”hello dep gai!” freaking hilarious. and then after the skits we had a quiet moment and it was like. thanking all the tro ta. and then we thought it was time for the skit end song thing. and anh huy’s like. “one more thing....” HIEP RUNS IN AND SCREAMS OUT “SOLDIERS! SOLDIERS! COME CAPTURE THESE VIETNAMESE! THEY’RE TRYING TO ESCAPE!” and we freak out. cause we’re like WTF?! and they’re shooting us with water guns and smacking us. and they shove us in our tents. and after we calm down, we realize. OH IT’S TRO TROI LON! WTF! and then we go on this journey. to escape vietnam. and anh bao is our guide. *heartheart* and we had to like lay down on the ground and crawl everytime one of the communist soldiers were around! wtf! and then so funny, cause anh john though he saw a group of us. and it was actually two white people taking a walk. so he’s like RUNNING down the hill screaming in vietnamese. and he realizes it’s white people cause they completely FREEZE IN FEAR. and he just runs STRAIGHT PAST THEM. SCREAMING IN VIETNAMESE ALL THE WAY INTO THE BUSHES. it was sooooooooo funny. and then blahblahblha. FREAKING JOEY’S PART. we’re getting robbed by some pirates. and we’re kneeling on our knees with our hands behind our heads. literally CRYING in fear! cause it was SCARY! and they’re beating up anh bao to get our money. and we’re all freaking out and anh bao is screaming. and then four white people walk by like this. o_____O dotdotdot. and we’re still freaking out. and they’re all weirded out. it was really funny. :D

sunday: wake up. play games. MADE MORE FOOD. yumyumyum. packed up. trip ride back with huong hiep and teresa. i fall asleep. huong puts booger on jessica. *dies* go to church. came home, HOMESWEETHOME.
