Man i think this post is gonna be long. so bear with it if u wanna read it.

DAY 1 - Mud and madness??

Assembled at school, swapped the rasin buns for hot dog ones. ferlycia's lightstick burst on her. haiz. sat at the back of the " safari " bus with michelle. joanne go put gell. haha. then michelle go write in her notebook " joanne put gell" haha.wasso funny. i dunno why. and the bus was like all bumpy at that time. so i think you can imagine her handwrining. but she managed to keep it within the lines. I THINK. in the bus me michelle n joanne was like mt faber in singapore meh? lol like so stupid lah.
started off at Safra mount faber with the water activities. lined up. saw sheila and someone familliar (kahying). was really surprised to see sheila there (my ex neighbour and friend and sister's friend.lol) she recgonised me too. and i heard her say to kahying " that 1 is michelle's sister " hmm. anyway. we changed, andthe water looked SO inviting and refreshing. we played hair dryer. chariots of fire (push and pull). twister won these two challenges:) GO TWISTER!!! we also played the getting onto the styrofoam platforms. haha. all slided off. lol. maybe we were too panicky. the only team that stayed the longest on the floating platform was 2D. and they were like so poor thing. everyone threw balls al them :( and the balls were'nt exactly soft. im sorry for throwing balls at you! changed out of our swim suits, and boarded the bus to costa sands. the uncle sent us to the wrong place ( pasir ris park).
had chicken rice and honeydew for lunch. michelle was mean to the honeydew. ms chia said we had to eat everything. thanks to those who ate my vegetables:) i think it was joanne - or gael. thanks anyway! went to the muddy field to pitch our tents. shared tents with kamariya and jaswee. apparently, our tent was arranged to be pitched over the mud pool. haiz. shoes were filled with mud and sand. my feet like sank into the mud. and when you tried to walk, it was difficult, cause it was like pulling you back. tied the ground sheet at the wrong place. we tied it over the door. so stupid. haha. burst out in laughters. and kamariya couldnt get what i was trying to say. haha. retied it. the right way this time with the help of shah. i think. went to do amazing race with a twist after that. clues were sorta difficult to solve with our one track minds. kristle helped. if it wasnt for her, we probably couldnt have figured it out so soon. so thanks kristle!
the twist was - we had to cross the river, strapped with life jackets and hooked to the rope. waited for our turn and played "bunny bunny" or "didididididididididi tiu!" haha. scraped off mud off my shoe with sticks and leaves. partnered huiting for the river crossing. we sorta paddled, wadded and did lots of other funny stuff lah. got sand in my shoe. i hate sand! esp wet ones. i hated them since i was young. haha. some people say that they dont want to die doing that. i mean its like SO kua zhang can?! u think they will let us do something that would endanger our lives? on the way back. saw a black and while cat. its was like so friendly. haha. funghua tried to lead it back with us. it folowed us for a while. then it went off to join a ginger cat. haiz. i want that cat! haiz. went to bath after that. the public toilets at the swimming pool were hogged, and we were pressed for time. so me and amelia went to shampoo and wash out shoes outside. then after that, we went into the toilet to wash ourselves. huiting got "stuck" in there. so poor thing. haiz. lucky she was in the toilet. we went back to the tents to put our stuff. but i was slow. and it started to rain. and i couldnt put my stuff back. hrmph! i looked like an oddball with all my bathing things with me. rain stopped shortly. ran and put my stuff back this time. sat at the chalet and had dinner( i think) rice, vege, EGG! we didnt do our makan cheer. aiyah who cares? lol. rained. whule waiting (for who knows what) Kristle and Cordelia were like dancing and singing. lol. so we stayed inside the chalet till around midnight. they let us into the chalet. whoo hoo! got into bed. played a silent and very funny game of heart attack. hahaha. its like so lame can. and we only played once. when we were about to sleep, shelia came and told us to collect our belongings from our tent, now know as "pond". our stuff were soaked. including jomelle's sleeping bag and the bag my sis wanted to use. im real sorry people! i sparyed deodrant on it to muffle the smell. dont worry! i'll get it cleaned and washed. so we got our stuff and brought to the chalet. we left it outside. hung my trackpants and camp shirt outside. didnt dry much though. slept past midnight. we were shivering. cause there were no blankets for us. we left it for the people who slept on the floor.

DAY 2 - Chalet and Campfire

Woke up bout 20 min early today. couldnt sleep anymore. my muscles ached. was like squeezed between sherilyn and huiting. so i had to sleep in a funny position to not disturb them. lol . could'nt blame them. poured and poured. Had very oily noodles for breakfast. it kinda made me sick... all that oil. i mean you could practically taste it. finished it in the end. was raining. stayed in the chalet almost the whole day :) nice and dry. though it was a pity we had to miss the night walk and the high elements. had almost the whole day for camp prep. our item was solidified with the help of cordelia! so many thanks! had fried rice lunch. Made Nevien, Sheila, Cordelia, Shah Eddie and Kahying claps. played games, "bunny bunny" amanda kana saboed. lol. did pole dance, lap dance with sherilyn with demonstration from Cordelia. so funny. shelia did the romeo n juliet thingy with nevien. funny man! also played, " Baby if you love me , Smile " michelle, cordelia, and sherilyn was like so funny. played " charlie's angel " too. haha. played blind mice also. grace goh climb on the stair case (that thing where we hang towels) haha. like monkey like that.
got news from sheila that we had to go unpitch our tent :( but anyway someone's gotta do it. we cant expect our instructors to unpitch our tent for us right? me and kamariya didnt wanna pack the tent in the mud. so we tried lifting the tent to the road to pack. but it was damn heavy becuase of the pond. so we tipped the tent over (with difficulty) and let the water pour out. then whe we carried it to the road, it was like SO much lighter. dunno where jaswee went. hrmph! had to pack by our selves :(
had fish and chips and water melon for dinner. and kor lijie started sliding down the stairs. haha. it did that when i was young. at my aunt's house. but she gave my a carpet, it didnt hurt that much and it was FAST! haha.
Campfire was like so secretive. they wouldnt tell us anything. i think they planned it to be in the room. cause eddie told us the size of the campfire space. campfire if its in the field, where got so small 1? and sheila said it would be cold and suggested for us to bring jackets. if its a real campfrie, how can it be THAT cold? haha. they dropped lots of hints which we didnt pick untill after the campfire. okay. so we walked to thehall, and were greeted with deafening screams. my ear hurt. it lik pierced throught my ear drums. i mean iterally. we could hear the noise even outside. i couldnt even hear myself cheer! campfire was great! we were like so high! like nothing else matterted! sang, danced and cheered. 2D's dance was like so cute! but it looked quite scary after that when their face paint started dropping off. cuz it looked like it was rotting. sorry! 2B's (i think) romeo and juliet performance was like so funny! haha. 2G's was a fashion show. quite nice lar. later somepeople complained. i think i got a quick glance of them. ang mo. haha. the instructors didnt want them to spoil our fun, so they locked them out. haha. i didnt think they would do that! haha. thanks anyway! the finale was beautiful, smoke and bubbles... some cried. glenn's speech was touching. no doubt. but he was like so loso. he kept repeating the same point. he just rephrased it. Melanie's birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE! so sorry i cant say it to you personally in time.

went back to the chalet after it was over. talked talked talked with sherilyn, huiting, angeline and michelle. cordelia joined in later. haha. slept at 3+. cordelia was like nice:) she set up sleeping bags for the other two instructors. but i didnt see them sleep here. haha. her effort wasted. cordelia dunno how to use joanne's pillow. haha. so funny. sherilyn fell asleep. she sleep like so stylo can! haha. then kamaria flung herself over sherilyn. haha. we wanted to see sherilyn's reaction. but she just pushed kamariya aside. haiz. dissappointing. lol! talked , then slept.

DAY 3 - Thirst and Tears

Its the third day, and we're back from camp today.woke up in the morning after a few hours of sleep, washed-up, and packed. it was like SO SUNNY! and hot in the later part. had Nasi Lemak for breakfast. Michelle said the chilli tasted like tom yum. lol. but it was tasty. was very thirsty today. dunno why. everyone was like "you got water?" i think i drunk the most water today out of the 3 days. cleaned up the chalet after that, then went on to clean the Marquee filled with dirt. Once they removed the tamboline sheets, i saw the sand and the cardboard boxed kah ying n shelia told us about. thought it was EXTREAMLY nice of them to go the extra mile for us. Thank You from the bottom of my heart! washed the mud off and went to get out bags in the chalet and moved to the car park where the prizes were given. Deannah and Sherilyn were awarded best camper. 2D got best group or class. CONGRATS MAN! true lah. was abit dissappointed that 2E didnt win:( well. the best class won. they were some though competetion.
Filled in feedback forms, sang My Love one last time, and boarded the buses. Many were crying. Some instructors, Ferlycia, Fung Hua, Amanda and many more.
Got back to school, went back to the gym. Saw the sec 1's bringing their plates after lunch. Lucky us! we didnt have to bring our own plates in sec 1 :) Stayed back alittle while in the gym. Ms chia told us to drink lots of water (blahblah) got a drink after that, and went to Compass to have lunch with Ferlycia, Fung Hua, Joey, Michelle, and Priscilla. Had lunch at mac donalds. discovered that my money was wet. and so were the coins. lol. its a little too kua zhang bah! but its true. they laughed at my "excuse me," haha. we talked bout camp and someone. omg! i didnt know she was like that. i thought her intentions were pure... anyway. it shocked me. Talked till 4 + then made a move to the shops. Saw Mr Lim buying sandals in Bata. Parted at the mrt stationand went home. I cut through the field on the way home. got stuck in mud. but it wasnt so deep. and my feet wasnt drenched. after the mud in the camp, this mud - was considered shallow. got home, and unpacked. found out that my oil blotters were soaked:(
Had a long, clean bath, did finished the nae thingy for gina and cara, then went to sleep. Man! that was good. Fell into a very deep sleep. Was practically dragged out of bed by my dad for dinner. Had instant udon, and was asked bout camp. went online later and scanned the timetable for cara.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
kept doing the "rain spell". it was tiring. the rain went on and off. then when i was sick and tired of doing it because my concentration kept breaking, it poured and poured and poured. sorry! maybe it was my fault :( and day two's rain was so heavy, i felt as though it rained for day 3 as well.
Cordelia and Kristle was like so poor thing. the teachers fogot about them. so they didnt really have anyfood for the first day. they ate left overs. sad :( i think it was only in the second day that they were catered to. they slept in the chalets with us. haiz. got lotz of mosquito bites. itch itch. scratch scratch.
i felt bad bout complaining. because the instructors like never complained and sacrificed so much for us, i feel like some spoilt brat. man! im so sorry for being so moody and whiny and mean! or is it whiney? anyway that don' matter if you got my point. it was our loss to miss so many activities. but at least we didnt miss the main thing we came here for - CAMPFIRE! lol.
i think i cheered too much. my voice went all funny...
