Harlo.
I am back from camp. Track and field camp.
Let me describe it to u:
Day 1
Morning. Throw stuff down and say hi. Separated into groups for icebreakers. My group, Group 3, won an icebreaker game. haha. yippee! then we won another game in which someone from each group pours water from 3rd floor and 3 people on ground floor use cups to try to collect as much water as possible. My group collected most water. haha. n everyone was like, why group 3 ALWAYS WINS? hehe, bcos we r veri enthusiastic. haha.
Took a quick shower. Then discussed shopping list in groups. For Day 2 and Day 3's breakfasts and Day 2's lunch. yeah, n we went to plaza singspora to shop for food. We bought loads, including tidbits, biscuits, apple juice, milo, bread, cup noodles, peanut butter, canned tuna, canned sausages, buns with hotdogs,etc.
Dat's a lot of stuff, eh?
We had lunch. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never mind. It's foodcourt, at ps after all. HIAZ...
We had TRAINING. at bishan.
CAN U IMAGINE DAT? TRAINING DURING CAMP.
For goodness sake, i've never had training whatsoever during camps! Aren't we supposed to have fun?
We went back to school. Bathed. Ate dinner(catered). Watched movie.
HORROR MOVIE.
The Eye 2.
Everyone was freaked out. Seniors kept screaming whenever the music took a turn. Or when "ghosts" appeared. Some are simply human, but they screamed anyway. Juz for the fun of it. n great effect all dat screaming gave us. We were like jumping everytime everyone screamed. n it was dark n all. n some refused to watch n turned their backs against the screen n chatted or played cards. some snuggled into their sleeping bags n pretended to be asleep. most watched n screamed.n looked away at scary parts.
(I screamed only once. when i was not scared at all. weird. i was staring at the screen n a ghost appeared. n it wasnt veri scary. i planned to go on watching n not duckin my head n stare at the floor which i do whenever something scary appears. but everyone screamed. n i was like, huh, not scary wat. then i screamed bcos everyone was. nvm. makes not much sense.)
after dat, we realised we had a nightwalk.
SURPRISE nightwalk.
It was not in our programme.
GREAT. N WE JUZ WATCHED A HORROR MOVIE.
i thought i would be freaked out as we waited. i was so tired i tried to sleep as it was like 12am but the nightwalk juz haven't started. I fell asleep n woke at around 1.40 am.
saw seniors walking around. no sec ones in sight. I thought
Oh no! I missed the nightwalk!
Fortunately, there was another sec 1 who was juz going for her nightwalk. so i went after her. I was blindfolded and had to follow a raffia string.
It wasn't scary at all. ppl blew on my necks (i realised it was thea and leanne who blew on my neck n whispered hello when they happened to see me. haha.), hit me, turned me around and around in circles so i lost my sense of direction, whispered oohs, but i wasn't scared. I imagined them as my seniors instead of ghosts. haha.
maybe my sleep helped,as my head was quite blur as i juz woke up n wasnt veri clear.n I could think of many things along the walk.
ppl smeared mud-sand-soap mixture on my legs and arms along the way. I went
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
and jumped around on the same spot as it was gross and disgusting. but i went on n found it quite cooling. by the way, i didn't noe wat it was at dat time. it was afterwards when i found out wat it was. i could only smell the smell of soap from the toilets. n the string was smeared wif soap too. i could feel dat it was slippery n smelled of the soap.
then, i found myself kicking a chair in my way. i went around it then found a pillar wif 2 strings leading out. i tried one i found myself retracing my previous steps. in other words, walking in circles. when i went back to dat pillar, i tried the other sting and soon, someone squeezed some liquid on me. felt like water. then i was asked to walk ahead 20 steps and take off my blindfold. i was half-expecting aomeone to jump out and scare me. but nothing happened. i realised the liquid was red colouring and water. so my shirt was really dirty. brown and red and smeared wif sand and mud. YUK!
i washed up and slept veri late, around 3something am. I had a blocked nose and couldn't sleep, but eventually slept a dreamless and nightmareless sleep. i was expecting a nightmare or something. haha. i kicked pillars and poles a lot of times on my nightwalk. im surprised i dun haf bruises all over my legs. haha. i had a mosquito bite though.
Day 2
Woke up at 7.30am. was full of energy despite having barely 5 hours of sleep. had breakfast n prepared for amazing race. I loved it!
we were briefed about it and soon started.
We had to blow up the biggest bubble we could using some gluey stuff and a bubble blower. then we had a clue and arrived at an answer where we had to go. we had to choose a person to be the "mummy" wrapped in newspapers n made sure she won't be wet when she was sprayed at. however, everyone else got wet instead. hiaz...guess sacrifices had to be made. then had to choose between passing 4 messages correctly, or carrying ten chairs down and up 5 storeys. we chose the chairs. my arms ached so much after dat.
then we found out dat the messages were all like science stuff, bio names, scientific names n veri difficult to rmb. thank goodness we did not do dat.
we went to take bus, then mrt to harbourfront, then took shuttle bus to sentosa. we ran around solving clues and going to stations. we took monorail too. we even had to use neon tape to decorate our faces and keep it on throughout. imagine dat. we suffered humiliations, and the hot sun. little kids went: eeeeeee so disgusting! so ugggglyyyy!
poor us. we thought we would have tan lines, u noe, white parts where tape is? luckily, we didnt. at least, not too obvious. as we peeled it off afterwards, we suffered excruciating pain as we pulled off our hair! ouch! it hurts!
anyway, we hardly had a lunch. we ate an apple each along the way, and a hotdog bun on the monorail, including some tidbit biscuits. when we finished at 1.20pm, we solved 3 of the 4 riddles we were given at the beginning, so we were awarded 6 bonus minutes. so our time wasnt 1.20pm, but 1.14pm, get it? but bcos we threw away our bubble dat was pathetic, we were given 5 penalty minutes. so our time dat we arrived was 1.19pm. n guess wat?
MY GROUP, GROUP 3, WAS 1ST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!n the amazing race was supposed to end at 4pm. haha. out of 5 groups, we did it. AGAIN...
we played by the seaside as we went to find the last group to give them their forfeit---dumped into the sea. haha. they were screaming and yelling, but got wet in the end. then we showered, n we had free time to have dinner and anyhing u wanna do, but only in orchard area. so i went to watch movie wif my frenz---Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was quite nice but a lot of parts were cut off, and some parts were redundant, while important parts should be longer. Overall, it was too fast.
back to school. watched some heart-warming movie---Whalerider.lights out.
Day 3
Last day. had breakfast. went training (AGAIN). bathed. ate lunch (catered). finished our banner and made flags for track and field. they look wonderful to me. oh..the sense of achievement...
cleaned up, then packed and debriefed. break camp.
go home! but i have to lug my heavy "luggage" ang stuff up the bus and home. hiaz. my arms were really aching, and i was really tired bcos i slep veri late the past few days. the camp was fun, n i miss it alraedi.haha. but after all,
Home Sweet Home.
