.:. Camp @ school .:.
Long ime no update my blog... A bit lazy since it's holiday and i want to watch youtube while I can.
I had lifeskill camp in school last week, a 3 days 2 nights one. Actually, it can be considered 4 days since on tues, we had no lesson at all. The camp kicked of on wed, and I wore my over-sized camp tee to school.
The trip to Pasir Ris was fun. A bit draining, considering to amount of strange and rigorous exercise we had to do. The filling of the bottles was the easiest, as we used the cones which are for marking the position to act as funnel to allow water to flow inside. Still, the mat thing was ridiculous. We spent so much time on it, and i almost 'broke' my left hand when someone sat on it... After screaming at her, I was able to squeeze my hand out. Everything seems to be in a frenzy... I cannot remember much except that Eunice Loo was next to me, wincing and squirming as we squat on one leg and tried to balance on one hand... Overall, we won 2nd for the first section. The section was building of a structure with 3 functions. I acted as the father... Actually, i was gritting my teeth to stop laughing. We won it anyway.
That evening, we watched 'Over the Hedge'. Can be consider the most comfortable part of the camp since we were able to enjoy the air-con in the audi. The sec 2s were at the Quadrangle watching 'School of Rock'. I didn't sleep more than 3 hours that day. Especially since Eunice(Loo) started to entertain us in the middle of the night with her jokes and dancing... I won't blame her since i wasn't sleepy either. Woke up the whole class with my loud handphone alarm the next day at 5.15 and went for an early bath... Must say that the water really wasn't that cold.
After breakfast, the whole level left straight for Mt Faber. Had the amazing race first. Nothing much, except lots of running. Then came the seal sports. I love the 'Dragon Boating Race'. We sat on floats/tyres and had to paddle backwards. So much fun! The final part was the hiking. The climbing of the stairs was more torturous than the actual climb. The hike was worthwhile though... The view was something we don't get to see everyday.
Talentime was on that evening. I must admit that our item wasn't that outstanding but it doesn't really matter... I enjoyed myself throughout the process eventhough it was a bit stressful sometimes. Mixed with a few more friends and forge stronger friendship... Well, the campfire was nice as we get to scream and jump(i won't say dance) about to the songs... The whole level formed a ladder and ran about! Lol... 102 formed a circle and fool around with Mr Mackintosh(have I meantioned before that he's a tribe leader in scotland?). We were the last class to leave the field later... Couldn't bear to do that. I would never believe how fun that was if i personally wasn't there... Slept better and didn't woke the class up with my alarm.
Had Nanzhong Quan early next morning and found out that our movements were different from the ones the Sec 2s learnt. Had telematch and the final clean up. I'm glan we didn't get posted to the toilets. Final item on the list was in the hall. We had a last survey and prize giving... Our class won the prize on which class is most dedicated to the camp theme! I caught my face at the last photo sharing session...
Now for the complaining part.
- The food provided by the school couldn't be worst... The lunch provided by the seal sport was so nice, especially the chilli. If all the meals could be that nice, it would be wonderful...
- Our class was split into different sections for a few occasions. I wasn't so happy since i'm always with the second half of 101... The more depressing part is that eventhough we're competing in different groups, we cannot resist cheering for our classmates. I afraid that 101 is not please with us and that might cause some friction.
- There are no enough toilets alocated to each class. Why didn't they want the pupils to use the toilets in the science blocks? Plus, some people are simply unhygienic. They didn't even bother to clean up when they dirtied the cubicle.
- I didn't sleep more than 8 hours for 2 days. That pathetic...
Overall, it was quite fun and enjoyable... How I wish I can remain in that carefree mood for a longer period of time...
Everything's like a dream...[12:02 PM]
