camp rocked !
haha i guess everyone must be blogging like mad now abt de camp! OMGOSH ppl the camp was like super duper enormously fun! everyone screamed like mad monkeys whenever deres a chance..alrite since im like so free nw i shall write abt the camp..haha don doze off okay..cos i tink i will write alot and alots. : DDay 1- Sch started bad cos during taf we had to do alot and lots of pushups and crunches.wah siao den gt muscle aches lors..den aft morning assembly and eveythng we gathered in the hall to get our grpings and meet our trainiers.at first dey say is odd number one grp den even no. another grp bt intheend it kinda became seperated agn..so 3e was like divided into grp 7and 8.only me and kelly gt into grp 7 and bao jy and trish gt into 8.at first quite sian lohs cos i tot the camp wouldnt be as fun as it seems to be..so aft designing our flags and stuffs, we boarded de bus at 10plus to our campsite!trish me ing bao jy and kelly squeezed into the last row of de bus with our huge bags at our feets.lols aft a 20min ride, we reached the campsite.frankly speaking dis camp is considered very clean and modern alrdy compared to the saribum camp i went in p5..its like so much betta bt got many giant and fierce ants and strange insects all over the place (cos its like bhind bukit timah hill).we settled in our dorms aft a briefing and some cheering and stuffs..me and other 3f ppl slept in the top bunk while others slept dwnstairs.Day 1- activity 1: Outdoor cooking.we were supposed to cook our lunch-which is obviously MAGGIE and some other food like hotdogs bakedbeans and sardines.we had to use the solid fuel which dey claimed is POISONOUS but actually its not to cook our food using masstins over some metal rods.quite lame lah actaully.den the fire burnt everywhr except the FOOD so it took like forever to cook and we didnt know when the hotdogs were cooked cos it was red on one side and brown on the other and it happens that nobody knew which side was cooked so it was left there to boil for a VERY long time..den when i tried to stir the maggie the flame suddenly went crazy and went towards me.so intheend i gt a scarred finger and some burnt hair frm my hands. -.-"
Day 1- activity 2: High elements.
the first challenge we played is Abline or sth.we're supposed to go up a tower and come dwn using a rope or sth.similar to coming dwn aft rockclimbing.and its not challenging at all.except for the part whr u have to climb up the tower and the stairs was like metal with huge holes in them.so u get to see how high ure going while climbing up.walao our grp is like so suay cos we're part of the half tat didnt get to play the Zipline a.k.a Flying fox.omgosh im so jealous lah cos its SOOOOOO FUN!haix.forget it.
2nd challenge was sth like tarzan swinging over to the other side using a rope..we had to get at least 8ppl over to the platform at the opp side using the rope without our feets touching the ground den considered pass.so intheend most of us succeded except for zihui who needed to try over and over agn cos her leg too long i think but aft many tries we finally made it !
3rd challenge was called giant finger or sth.it was a tall and thick pole with a tyres at the bottom.we had to find a way to get both the tyres out without any part of it touching the pole.after thinking and thinking we decided to let 2 long and thin ppl which is rongyi and saliza to sit on top of somebodys shoulder and try to get the tyres out while the rest of us supported the long and thin ppl to prevent them from falling to their deaths if they lose their balance.however, to our disappointment the long and thin ppl, altho thin enough, were not long enough.so we think and think agn and so we decided to let them stand on 2 ppl shoulders.finally we succeded altho we did not really pass as i keep seeing the tyre touching the pole many times.i think the trainer also saw but she see us like half dead so close one eye.or rather two.act blind.aft taking out the 2tyres everyone damn happy esp the ppl carrying the longandthin ppl cos dey were like exhausted alrdy esp kelly.den i think when the trainer say mus put back the tyres using the same way kelly almost died.however she still did it but dis tym she gt difficulties standing up liaos so i knw she gonna die soon and if she die saliza wont live as well so decided to help her carry awhile..see im a nice person.wahahhaas. X)
4th challenge was challenge pole.we had to stand at a pole at ard 3-4 storeys high and jump to grab and hang on to the bar infront of us.actually is quite far lors.at first we thought dis is okay as we thought we were gonna stand on de platform instead of the pole which is shaking like a 8degree earthquake.so when the trainer declared that we were gonna use the shaky pole we all freaked out.at first we didnt have the courage to try but since we were alrdy dere so try lors.when i climbing i don dare to look at other place except the freaking pole cos if look down v scary..so i climbed very fast and wanted to get over it soon.lols den the bellay ppl say hey relax lah the rope is not even taut.lols den when i reached the top den v diff to stand on top of tat rather thin and shaking like mad pole.so when i finally got onto it and decided to jump, i gave a leap and Hallelujah! i grabbed but didnt manage to stay on as the bar was damn slippery and will chua tio one.wah aft doing dis challenge i think many ppl don dare to commit sucide cos at this height its alrdy like WTF.
Day 1- activity 3: Dinnertime.
The trainers declared tat the grp which raises up their hand as a grp first gets to collect their food first.i wasnt exactly famished as i wasnt v enthu abt this whole idea abt raising hands.didnt expect to be the 2nd grp to be dispatched cos i forgot i had a bunch of hungry ghosts as teammates.so they were all v fast and enthu and the trainer didnt notice that i raised up my hand alot later den the others and so this is how we got our food so fast.
Day 1- activity 4: Song session.
Aft dinner we gathered at the FAA to have a song session while the other half of the level went for their night hike first.i kind of sighed when i knew dere was a song session cos ppl tend to like stare at the trainers who were trying so godam hard to get the ppl to sing along with them as dey did silly dance moves and all and the situation always gets so stiff.budden dis tym it didnt happen altho towards the end few ppl sang as we were all tired of waiting and singing and cant wait to go inside the bloody forest for our night hike. )
Day 2- activity 5: NIGHTHIKE.
The most anticipated activity of the day has finally come.everyone were stripped of their torches as de trainers did not want anybody to scare the creatures in bukit timah hill and to spoil the fun.our grp jus happens to be the FIRST grp to start on the hike so we all were a lil' jittery.the trainers told us that if deres a emergency dey would blow their whistle 3tyms-1 long 2 short and we were supposed to squat dwn where we were and shout "innotrek" tgt.lols den when we were 3/4 thru the journey we heard a whistle like sound and it jus happens to be 3 loud whistles.so yijie, our Kamate Chief, lols decided tt we squat dwn and we shouted INNOTREK tgt loudly.as the trainers are stationed at ard 10metres away frm each other, the trainer which was like 5metres away frm us heard us shout and ran towards us:
Trainer: "WAD HAPPEN WAD HAPPEN !"
Us :"INNOTREK!! INNOTREK!! AE.Just now gt whistle wad.not mehs.?"
Trainer: " WALAO EHH THATS A CRICKET LAH !"
Us: " %$)(&($%^+$()&$*#* "
and that became the joke among the trainers. o.O
after this stupid and embarrasing incident we decided not to trust crickets anymore.and so we trekked on and reached a grassland/sandland which is the last stop of the nighthike and we were supposed to sit dere to wait for other grps and to calm ourselves dwn/reflect.the night scenery there is damn beautiful lohs esp the star-dotted nightsky which can rarely be seen and i spent most of the tym staring aimlessly into de sky watching at the Twinkle Twinkle Many Stars.walao ehhs if only i can see that view everynight. T.T
Day 1- activity 6: Showertime.
Showertime was good and bad.good thing is that finally we get to clean ourselves properly and the bad thing is that ppl are forever rushing and tsk-ing due to the pathetic amt of time allocated for our shower.wadeva.its over.how im home, i get to bath as long as i want. lalallalallalals~
Day 1- activity 7: Supper/Reflections.
Gathered at FAA to be dispatched to the canteen for supper.Had some greenbeansoup.wrote some crap for reflections.went back to dorms.
Day 1- activity 8: SLEEP.
as we were all growing girls with raging adreline,we of cos didnt wan2 waste our youth to sleep like the ppl dwnstairs.thus, we played truth or dare instead.2 trainers came to our dorms to nag at us to slp but of cos we continued aft they left.thus someone suggested tt we lie dwn on our fronts and incase gt trainer come in den we gaegae slp.lols.but aft awhile we stopped playing truthordare cos the only dare we could do is to kiss/touch wadeva angela who is not playing and all the qns asked were v stupid or we alrdy knew the ans.so intheend we chat until 3plus and decided to slp.
