whees~!
i`m finally back from camp.
and i went to my blog.
visits - 444. duh. no one visited it.
hahas.
but anyway, camp was quite fun overall.
there`re a lot of my first times.
not THOSE FIRST TIMES. -.-
shall blog about the camp now.
1st day: 18th jan.
went to meet peifang. but the lights at the block switched off. was squinting my eyes to see.
anyway, went to school and settled down.
oh yeah! btw, i think i saw giraffe while waiting to settle down.
got a break later on. just walked around lah.
nothing much to do. and later assembled into our groups and all left.
reached the campsite. settled down, briefing and stuff.
and major group D went for tent-pitching first.
but i didn`t sleep in the tent i helped pitch.
i slept in another tent which we pitched at night in the dark.
actually this is the same for most people.
`cos there were tent-stealers around. so i think sleeping in a common place is better.
or a chalet. people can`t steal chalets `cos they don`t have keys.
but whatever, we completed and had team games.
the mine game was the one i least like. the rest was okay.
went for lunch at the beach after a game of marble.
guess what? me and peifang spent half the time defending ourselves against red ants that we took such a long time to eat. but whatever, i didn`t finish any of the meals at all. not even supper.
after that, played marbles again and changed into our high elements attire.
high elements. blah. i hate this station, not b`cos i`m scared, but b`cos of some idiots.
was raining at that time, so most of us only did 1 out of the 4 stuffs, though some did 2.
i only did the flying fox. had problems climbing up. climbed slowly.
anyway, i didn`t dare to go down. hahas. so i wasted a few minutes. but less than 5 minutes.
and the idiotic kakapoo shouted some immature thing. HMPH!
then the instructor knew my whole name, and blah blah. called them to give me support. -.-
thought i was the worst, luckily, i wasn`t. someone`s day was even worst than mine and his/her name was remembered vividly by mr. singh and the instructor.
but the flying fox was FUN. at the beginning, i was so stiff and so it wasn`t good.
halfway down, started relaxing and it was just great.
anyway, during the rain, we were doing group cheers.
after that, was night activities and stuff. nothing much.
had the skit discussion. mr singh was great. he let us in to his chalet!
lucky us. we didn`t get caught. we sneaked into the resort toilets to bathe.
HAHA! not on purpose though.
can`t sleep at night. was just trying to sleep. then instructors were talking about the things that happened. and the stupid streetlight was so darn bright. anyway, i think i only slept after 2:30am. then 3plus woke up again. slept again and woke up at 4:30am. and just waited and waited till we finally went to clean up at like 6plus? LOL!
2nd day: 19th jan
started with low elements. i didn`t want to do the rope thing.
after seeing so many people fail, i was like scared.
but i was the last girl to try it, luckily i passed on the first try.
then it was the pole thingy. and went for the zig zag thingy.
was okay lah. i cheated. mr singh wasn`t looking, so i just put my leg on the rope again after falling.
then the last and most difficult one. the spider web. i`m lucky. i was the last girl to cross. and someone from other groups came and say can go from underneath, i think so. so i just went underneath. HAHA!
played marbles again then had lunch and discussion.
mr singh koup-ed group 3`s lunch for us. LOL.
after that, went for kayaking. i betrayed the 13s.
i went to kayak with the 16s.
simple reason being me and si min paired up together.
and both of us couldn`t get the way to kayak correctly.
but anyway, kayaking was great fun.
got sunburnt lah. of course, everyone else too.
helped with kayak stuffs. bathed and dinner.
indoor campfire. BAD! i want a real campfire!
sitting in the hall made my bone at the ankle ache.
but campfire was FUN. and unexpectedly, mr singh turned up.
YAY! but 13s were discussing our skit last minute, when 14s were on stage.
then after that, supper. i didn`t take anything. don`t feel like eating or drinking.
anyway, went back to tents for sleep.
i was damn tired lah. but the moment i closed my eyes, i heard sounds from the instructors.
so i opened my eyes and looked around. nothing happened. i did that for many many times.
guess i only got to sleep at 1plus. but i woke up like 3 to 5 times.
but at least, i got a bit more sleep than the previous night.
3rd day: 20th jan
had to dismantle tents and stuff. packed everything etc.
then breakfast. and reflections. we played games too.
it`s fun playing with mr. singh, he got crappy ideas for forfeit.
but all about hugging, or shaking hands, and saying i love you or will you marry me.
HAHA! he`s evil. can`t stand him. but he`s great.
went back to marquee or tentage or whatever you wanna call it.
then felt like we`re going back so soon. and was like the camp was great.
totally different from what i initially thought. while doing the stuffs, i may not like it. on the first day, i may be waiting to go home. but now that the 3rd day has come, i reflected on all the things we have done, the activities, the campfire, the 13s, everything. and i felt that time actually passed quickly. group 6 got the outstanding award for the play. group 9 got 1st runner-up. and guess what? the 13s was champion! but i don`t think we were happy. we didn`t deserve it. we had no rehearsals at all. it was really unexpected lah.
but perhaps, LUCKY 13 was just so lucky, tyco.
LUCKY 13 is great. mr singh is great.
he`s so good to us.
camp has ended. all so fast. no more fun. we`re gonna be rushing homework.
Lucky 13 rocks.
even though we`re the quietest and probably the slackest group around.
i failed once again @ 12:30:00 pm
