i'm back from the camp! got miss me? i'm sure have one la.lol! let me blog about the day before the camp until now.the memories i had with me back here...

day 1(thursday-26 oct):

went to sch with a very big bag.after assembly,went up to the hall for the closing ceremony.sec1-3 pupils all squeeze in the hall.after that went back to class...did some spring cleaning.teacher returned us our report book and report slip and the test papers and some other things.

that time i was quite angry.which was why i didnt really talk a lot.cuz in the morning,dont know who pass me the math project thingy.then i told someone to pass it to vaness cuz i have to do my duty then cannot have it with me.then after the closing ceremony,we went back to classroom and i saw the math thingy on my desk.then i told liane and vaness,either of them,to bring it back cuz later i have the camp.then liane reply me back "nvm lor.u take with u to the camp la" then i was like super pissed off la.then didnt talk alr.damn pissed off.

then after sch,went to look for my sister to pass her my things.then told her i still got some other things to pass to her.then went to change.after that went to her class to look for her again but she wasn't there.then went around looking for her with the math thingy.but still cant find her.then went to throw away the math thingy.

then went to assemble outside council room.waited and waited.then took the bus to the jetty...then took the ferry to st john's island.then went to have our lunch.our meals were always the same thing.packed lunch, water(sometimes soya bean drink) and pudding or apple.after that went to put our things.then thought of our group names and cheers and the things for the campfire.

i was in group 2 and my group name was actually bull fighters.but dont know how come in the end we all called ourselves as fighters.lol.our group instructor is eunice.group 1 is called smurfs and their instructor was eunice also...then group 3 is called pare.their instructor is timothy but he is known to be called tina.group 4 is called otso which means 8 and their instructor is serene..then also got another instructor who is our mother as well as father.he's melvin but we most people call him melissa.tina and melvin very childish sia.they always entertain themselves by doing some silly stuffs.

our first activity was dry rafting.some people had to make the water bombs and some had to make the target board and the rest had to make the raft.then i helped to make the water bombs.then instructor melvin helped us fill the water bombs also.and he ended up splashing water on us...that's so nice of him...lol...he was like trying to tie the water bomb...then dont know wat happened and he poured some of the water on melissa.lol! then some of the bombs had holes in it and he go squeeze.then some people kana.i also kana.then he still act blur by saying "where got hole?no hole wat".then continued squeezing again.then after that we took some of the spoiled ones and go spray at him.haha...quite fun...during the game,got myself wet.then for the last round,our target board kana wet.then we all quickly go use it and clean the water on andre's shirt cuz he was still dry...and we won.haha..after that dont know do wat...cant remember.

after dinner,gathered at the MPH and played some games and learnt some cheers.it was quite fun.one of the games was that all of us had to be in a big circle.then the instructors told us to face our right...then dance.we had to stand in such position like boy then girl then boy then girl.but too many girls alr so some girls had to be the guy.so joyce was one of the "guys"..then asked some people if wanna change role nort...all said no.

the song for this game was "as we walk to the left as we walk to the right.as we walk as we walk as we walk walk walk.with a heel...and a new friend found." the girls had to lift up their hands and the guys had to hold the girls' hands then start doing the movements.then joyce was my partner.then was some other girls...forgot who alr.then was eliza.then i ask her if wanna exchange roles nort.then she quckly say dont want.bad sia...next was christopher.then was another guy then earnest then abu i think.cant really remember who the people i played with were.only can remember these few.

after that had night walk.we were allowed to choose to go in pairs or alone.i decided to go alone cuz it doesn't seem to be that scary.then i waited and waited for my turn.almost fell asleep while waiting.after waiting for about 1hr,it was my turn.then i walked until a part where there is 2 ways.then i cant see any light sticks around.then i decided to walk straight.then saw the light sticks...phew...then again the same situation happened.then took the path i have decided.then walked for a while and mark ran past me cuz he need to go to the toilet urgently..lol...then i continued walking.then had to walk up the steps.quite tiring walking up the steps...walked past some instructors.

then got one part is when walking past some trees,suddenly got someone ask "wat number".it was tina...then finally i reached our camp site.then got some people said that they kana shocked by tina cuz he was sitting at where we cant really see him.then he juz suddenly asked "wat number".after that went to sleep...

day 2(friday-27 oct):

woke up at 6+.prepared and assemble at the MPH at 7.30am.then had morning jog.after breakfast,our first activity,which was cluedo, for the day started...instructor jeremy told us a story about st john's island.we had to go around and find out who killed max,with wat weapon and where is the scene of the crime.after that,had our lunch.then had campfire prep.

our next activity was the island casualties.our instructor will choose 2 people.then we had to carry the 2 casualties to the beach.we also had to carry a dustbin half filled with water.then on the way,had to collect some branches.our casualties were melissa and staphenie.at first i had to carry melissa with some other people from my group.after we finished almost half the journey,we decided to think of some other ways cuz all of us find that carrying melissa was very diffcult.carrying melissa was a tough job...then i changed to carry staphenie.then some other people carried melissa.

carrying staphenie was a lot easier...yu en,abu,cheryl and me carried her until she sleep sia....lol!not in a deep sleep though...then we keep on talking and laughing while carrying her.it was quite fun carrying her although there's some weight on my shoulder.finally we reached the beach.we were the second group to reach there.after that,we sat in a circle and talked and also rested.

after that,had our next activity which was quite tough.the instructors suddenly became so strict and serious.then we did the buddah clap.did 300 of them...do until my both hands so tired until i wanna put them down.

after the buddah clap,was the squeeze and spread.the sec 1&2 had to protect the sec3 not to let any instructors pull them out.there's people being pulled out for every rounds except the last round.the last round,everyone really worked together.then when someone was being pulled by the instructor,all the girls were like "dont let go,dont let go!"got one time everyone were like "jiayou,jiayou" even the malays.so united...

after a few rounds,the instructors started to pour water onto us.then everyone were like "everybody close your eyes" or "WATER!!!" haha...then there's a few times instructor veron tried to pull me out.she pulled quite forcefully.but i was holding tightly onto my wrist.when the instructors wanted to pull someone out, the people around the person would all try to push the instructor away from that person.heard that some of them even kicked the instructors sia.lol!these 2 activities were the most serious ones.it seemed like we were having army training sia...

then we were given the time to go play in the sea.after that carried the branches and dustbin back to the camp site.poured out the water in the dustbin.some used it to wash themselves.then dont know who ask if anyone want to have the whole water poured on them.then michelle was like "me,me,me!" then the guys hold up the whole bag of water.when lifting up the bag to pour on her,the plastic bag broke and only some of the water was poured on michelle.coincidently when the bag broke,grace was there and the rest of the water splash on her.haha...

then went back to the camp site.a lot of people were queueing to bathe.so me and joyce juz used the water bottle and pour water on ourselves.the feeling was so shiok sia..after that had dinner.our shirts and shorts were still very wet.after that went to the beach for the campfire.everyone were enjoying themselves even the teachers and the instructors.but the instructors dont need say one la.they always enjoy themselves de.even at meal time.group 4 was the first to present.they did a drama like that.it was quite funny.then was group 3.a dance presentation.after that, played the copy cat game.after the game,was group 1's turn to present.a drama showing the advertisement.followed by my group.we sang the song "pass it on".then did some cheers.then got one cheer we always forgot how to do.at first our response were quite loud.then it became softer and until dont even have sound sia.then dont know who say "purposely one" then we start all over again but still the same thing la.then we juz ended like that lor.haha...the instructors did a dance.after that they had a speech to each group.

after that had some group reflections until 11pm.then went to sleep.

day 3(saturday-28oct):

woke up and packed our bags to go back to singapore.my arms aching when i woke up sia.cuz of the buddah clapping we had.everyone also the same.then gathered at the MPH.after that had our breakfast and went to take our belongings and put them at the MPH.then went to the beach.did some reflections.at first was individual reflections then group then the who council reflections.then went back to the camp site.had a cheer competition between the instructors and council.after that went to take the ferry backhad our group photo while waiting for the bus to come.after we reached sch,me and joyce went to buy bubble tea.then went home.

when i reached home,quickly went to bathe sia.cuz is like 3 days didnt bathe.after that slept til 8+.my hands still aching...almost lost my voice during the campfire.throat dry dry one.



the camp was so fun.at first i thought that it would be very boring and tiring.but it turned out to be very fun.then my group at first all of us were not very co-opperative when staphenie and grace and some other people were trying to get us together as a group.but after si ni talked to us,we juz suddenly very united.our group was the quietest one.but still quite alright la.missed st john's island sia...although there's nothing there.although cannot buy anything there or go play electronic games,it's still quite a nice place...oh ya..we're the first to have campfire at the beach...cool right..
