Strong Bonds of Connections
I just came back from camp and i'm going to describe it in great detail.
Tuesday, 6 May 08
We reached the camp site, not really looking forward to it.
I was really unhappy about the grouping.
I just wanted to fake sick and go back home.
All of us were missing home a lot.
I was separated from Margaret, Tzeli, Faye and all.
I only had Rebecca Lau, Joshua, Jonathan, Brendan, Gabriel to talk to.
I was kind of demoralised but i didn't lose hope 'cos
most of the time we were sticking together!
We did high elements after lunch and i was freaked out
when it was my turn. I was stuck at the pole for i think more than 5 mins.
I just kept hugging on to the pole. The first time i was about to step on
when suddenly someone shouted GOGO and naturally i went back.
Anyway i did manage to make it across with God's help.
We had absolutely no time to bathe but just change.
My class was doing Dinner duty and we gave alot of people
huge huge huge huge servings :D
After dinner was the game "Blind Man's walk"
During the walk, he suddenly told people to sit down.
It was really freaky, extremely.
I thought we got isolated 'cos we were too noisy and stuff
But actually it was some Safe Me Safe Me game
that my instructor did.
At night, we stepped into the toilet and turned on the taps
a minute later, the stupid instructors started banging on the doors
and said that the lights would be turned off in 1 mins time.
We were like WTH?! I was freaking pissed off and i told my dad.
But he said that he couldn't do anything because he was overseas
but he said he would pray and i guess he forwarded the message to my mum
and my mum told me she would pray. At that moment i was
kind of disappointed that they couldn't do anything, but i just felt more
enthusiastic about the camp. We could barely sleep 'cos
the 2B girls were screaming and kept spraying fruit scented
insect repellents at bees which obviously attracted them more.
Anyway, we woke up at 545 in the morning and went to shower!
Wednesday, 7th May
We went morning walk to the guys dorm and back to our dorm.
After breakfast was Supposed to be kayaking if i'm not wrong
but as we were on our way there, there was thunder so
we gathered at one the huts at the guys dorm area.
So, instead of kayaking we created our flags.
group 1 called ourselves ZOO 'cos there was Rhino(Tzeli), Poodle(Joshua),
Bull Dog(Jonathan), Rebecca Lau(Duck), Deborah(Great White Shark),
Panda(David), Pig(Brendan) :D
Group 2 called themselves Chi hwa hwa. Influenced by Monday's Study Skills.
Had lunch and they gave us a pathetic serving!
After Lunch was CFP, Camp Fire Preparation.
We took extremely long to chose a song.
In the end Alvin suggested Tarzan and the XXXXXXX's Agreed
whereas the rest were pretty unhappy with the decision made and
we just kept silent in order to avoid conflict.
The Guys started really dancing and it was really funny
That reminds me, I love those people who went to AJC's "open house"
3 cheers for us! Anyway, the conflict couldn't be avoided.
But basically, the people who started the conflict
started adding fuel to the fire that they made.
Anyway we were supposed to go Abseiling and Zip line
but it was cancelled 'cos there was CAT1, some thunder thingy.
In the end we only had 40 mins of Abseiling and ZipLine.
We had played some Kipnap game.
I was the search party unfortunately.
But i was a great experience which got people moving and working together!
We had a early shower and we had a good sleep though the day was boring.
I'll blog about the rest of the days another time :D
