Kay... so this is how it started... I... a 17 years old cowardy teenage girl who totally... i repeat TOTALLY freaks out when an insect/whatever non-human creature is on me or is flying towards me. (this includes tiny mini ants) Awesome right? =D... Few weeks ago, my church high school camp organised an outing to FRIM for jungle trekking. This jungle trekking was held this morning at 7am... On the last day of the registration date which was last week... I struggled whether to go or not to go... At last, I have no idea where I get the guts from... but I just signed up for it. It feels like... you know... many people (girls especially) are afraid to go into the hunted house, but they still desire to go for it and scream all the way through (those type of feeling)...
The next few days after signing up for that outing... the Christian Fellowship room in my school was (can say) filled wif small tiny flying insects... At first, I didn't bother about it, until when suddenly they started flying towards me and crawling up my shirt... I screamed and ran like mad... That moment, I was thinking how would I survive jungle trekking which consist of more insects and !LEECHES! (sticks on your body and doesn't come out easily) I tell you... I was like freaking out... I thought in my mind, trying to comfort myself "Okay... you're gonna do this... Couage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared - Eddie Rickenbacker... You must be brave!"
So it was friday night (the night before the outing)... I went to cell group and... tada... there was one amazing new friend who told me the "story" of jungle trekking... Mostly on leeches!!! (what I was currently most afraid of in the jungle) He says that leeches can go inside your body underneath your skin and something like that... My fear... OF COURSE grew even worse... My imagination that time was decribed as undecribedably wide... I told everyone inside the car that how I hope I didn't sign up for this... I HOPE THAT TOMORROW I WILL OVERSLEEP SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO FOR THE JUNGLE TREKKING... when I reached home that night... it was already pass 1am. I immediately went to bed and slept and prayed to God that there will be no leeches or any other creature on me during the jungle trekking so that I would still be in one piece...
Well... God indeed answered my prayer... Im still in one piece and there is/was no leeches on my body... That is because what I "hoped" for did came true... I overslept and woke up only when my mom shouted "8.30 already lo!" I immediately jumped up from my bed and looked at the time "OMG... I'm like super duper late so I didn't get to go..."... I was kinda disappointed actually... then I thought... can go also sad... now cannot go also sad... what you want wor... but seriously la... its quite saddening... So... let me advice you this BE CAREFULE WHAT YOU WISH FOR, IT MAY COME TRUE! =D
Love Germ =)
