Aftermath
The camp ended yesterday. After the camp i went back, took a long shower since we have been having 4 mins showers in the camp. After some time on the com, slept for 2 hrs before waking up for dinner.Went back to sleep after that,only wanted to sleep for 2 hrs but slept till the next moring which was 14 hrs. So i actually slept for 16 hrs.Broke my previous record of 14.5 hrs from my pervious camp. Went out with my friend to arcade..It felt like i have lost touch with the world for so long..Some how i still felt sleepy throughout the day.Maybe its because i slept too long. i shall enjoy today before studying for the 2 upcoming tests next week.

Camp (Part 2)
Day 3In the morning, we had some games using ropes.Climbing and walking on ropes etc. After that was outdoor cooking. It was my first time cooking though.Lolz..the girls actually did better than many of us.I only helped to cook the rice..We sat down and ate together and joshua passed a sarcastic comment as usual.."The rice taste so nice,must be done by shengyang." As if his was damn nice...-_- After eating,derrick tried to do stunt with a water bottle and a lighter as he burns the mouth of the bottle,hoping to make a rocket,"boom" and it backfires, i guess he tried to make a rocket using his finger? The burn was quite bad though..pitiful derrick.lolz..At night we have this game blindman's trail. We were all blindfolded and been led about.People in front of me were taken away one by one till i'm the front person. it really suck when you can't see anything.Messages were been passed down by trainer such as there's a dragon infront and there are some rocks in front and even there a waterfall in front.and they started pouring water.Good try though but how can we have that in a tennis court?
Joshua and i slept outside the tent.It was just too hot inside.We wanted to count stars and only managed to count one.It was cooling outside and became cold in the morning.
Day 4We had archery in the morning.None of us are really good at that. They only had equipments for use with right hands,so poor pax whom had some difficulties.lolz..2nd part of the game, we were supposed to put ballons there and shoot.Before shooting,we burst 5 ballons and 1 fell off.So we had 4 instead of 10.i managed to get one with some luck.lolz...
Next was rafting.4 long pipes and 4 huge barrels? great.Thanks to people like zhiwei and ryan we made it though.It was really hot that day and derrick started sprinking water on us and some others followed and we were wet with sweat and water. Test run was successful and we made it with four girls on it.
It was the campfire. We performed the carlsberg dance and the banana dance together with group 2.It was without much practices. It was nice watching others perform.
After that we sat down together for our reflection.It was the last day for our trainer S.K who went to school the next day.He talking about how he felt about us and was happy to have us as his last camp group as that was his last camp. We sang songs together.Those were the sad moments. What he said, i gave serious thought about it.It is important to cherish what we have now.No point trying to get back the old feelings when its gone. Just like what S.K and Ms seah did.They both wanted to get back the old feelings of been in their jc days. But it will never be the same ever again. True friendships comes from the secondary and jc days where everyone is so innocent so called la. Can call your friends idiot and they still can laugh. true though.lolz.. Moral of the story.Cherish what we have now,live happily and not waste our youthhood on unhappy stuffs. We only have one chance to live through this and will never ever get to experience this again....Another memorable and inspirational night for all of us.
Day 5Finally it was the last day. We unpitched the tents and our tent was the only one which left the floor wet.Lolz..we have been sleeping in a wet tent for so many days. It was also the last day for us to do cheers together. Although we didn't get the best group award,which S.K wanted us to get,however we have achieved quite alot these days. Staying together also shows alot of one's character. Some have true leaderships skills and some just wanted to be one.Reponsible people like zhiwei whom helped others in need are rare.
May 115 always stay bonded.Let get though this 2 yrs with ups and downs together.
Lastly i would like to wish S.K all the best and thanks for everthing. Not forgetting 115 and Ms Seah!

Camp (part I)
Group 1 oei~~~.....just came back from the raffles marina camp. Well...gotta admit that it was fun. The camp seemed boring at first. But the first night will always be an unforgetable night.
DAY 1After lunch we had belay school and rock climbling. It was fun learning how to belay people and to have their lives in your hands. Muhahaha." Do something for me or stay up there" I only managed to climb past the red line before the trainer called me down.It's so unfair..haha...others can climb all they want. I'm amazed to see people like madina reach the top. 3 cheers for the monkey!!~~and the hair on her hands proves it too.lolz...no offence though...
We played this game called the animal call at night. Our group were supposed to be cats. Blindfolded and we started screaming "MEOW!~" Most of our people got together towards the end.
AT 3 a.m, rain started pouring heavily. We were all alsleep in our tent.I merely said it was hot in the tent and it started raining. At first i was like thankful for the rain. However after some time, our tent was flooded. We had a rain cover over the tent, and everyone thought its gonna be "waterproof". We were enjoying the swimming pool or some called it the water bed until we realised that our belongings are all wet. Many of us started moving out off the tent for shelter. We held on as long as we could, hoping that the rain would stop, but it didnt till morning. We moved out. Leaving our belongings behind, which was a good thing. Some girls' tent flew away as they have removed their belongings. As for the rest of the night, the girls we sleeping an air-con room, while the guys were in the carpark/canteen. I gotten an hour of sleep. The next morining, we went back to our tent. The entire site looked like some refugee campsite..people walking around with their belongings,broken tents.Luckily we still have our tent.
Day 2.We had our breakfast and went for expedition. Luckily the rain stopped. We had kayaking first. Before we enter our kayaks, we have this water confidence test. We formed a circle and enter the water with our life vest and mustn't break the chain.As we enter the water, we started getting stuck in the thick mud. It was difficult getting out though,but its teamwork! Finally we get to kayak. Jos was my partner.He injured his finger during the water confidence test but we still made it.I admired his perservance.
Now the land expedition.
As we set off, everyone was having high spirits. walk , walk and walk. We were exhausted. But the thought of reaching the destination,jurong point kept us going. 3 hrs later, we arrived!! we soon started out treasure hunt. My grp grab some food and drinks after the hunt and met up with the rest. Our trainer, S.K is a nice guy man!he's flexible as in mentally not physically.we ate in front of him though we were not supposed to and he pretended not to see anything.
We set off again after 5 mins of rest. We were relactant at first but still moved on. Some of us started running which i didn't.but we still caught up. We cheered on the way. It was really exhausting for some of us. we perservered.We made it back to the campsite in 6 hrs. though we were late. We were much faster than other groups and some groups didn't even complete or made it to jurong point. Man, we are just that damn good!lolz.3 cheers for group 1! The route was actually 26 KM!! and yet we made it back. Shouldn't we be proud of ourselves?...
After we arrived at the campsite.Mood of the trainers changed. We were told that the other groups received a huge scolding from the trainers because of some toilet issues. Perhapes some people used the wrong toilet at the wrong time. Luckily we were spared from the scoldings.
We sleep soundly at night.With sounds like snoring.
tired of typing..to be continued...
