Bones Creak

Whoa... did anyone miss me? Heh...

Rushed off for the Church Youth Camp just a week after the Akha trip. Got roped in as one of the coordinators... Games primarily. Heh... body's aching all over!!! Gotta blame it on the Hide-And-Seek game... I HAD to jump into that bush and support my weight with just one elbow... And i HAD to be the last few to be found... >.<

Actually i'm kinda caught between Enterprising and Social. In fact i think i have more social gifts than enterprising. Hmmm...

Anyway i think i was caught by the word Leadership. I don't like it, but i willingly take it up when i have to. Isn't it said somewhere that the best leader is a reluctant one? I do not crave for power nor recognition. I just want to get things done in the best possible way with everyone being happy doing it. Now i'm sounding like i WANT to be a leader... Bahh... perhaps deep down i do think that i'm a leader? >.<
