Finally, I have the time and energy to write my blog. Four days after camp and I'm still very tired and sleepy. *YAWN* See, again. Haha. Okay. Today is a fun day. Got sepak takraw tournement. Haha. But today isn't important. The CAMP is! Haha!

Here is what happened at the camp:

day one*~
Woke up after Junda called my house. Did the usual routine: Bathe, wear clothes(Number 4 for this day), wax my hair(i won't get the chance to do that for the next few days!) and went down. Yongjin came and we waited for Junda. After waiting for a few minutes, we walked out. Then Jd came from the back. Haha. Backstab seh. Later, we walked to the beatty bustop to wait for Hanyong and Masa. My bag was damn bulky and fat. It's a hard to sling it on my shoulder, so, i took it with my hands. After awhile, the two of them came. We approached the school adn hanyong said he saw guides in the school when his bus went past it. But the school was totally empty when we entered it. Hanyong paiseh! Haha. Soon, it's time to fall in. We were divided to our groups. Mine is Triple Cs. Starting, there were only 4 people but after awhile all of them came. After everyone came, we fall-in back into platoon level and there was a handphone check. We did not kena because James say that he trust us. Haha. The Bunk ICs were given the bunk keys later. Bunk ICs were also the IC of the group, so i am one too. My bunk is on C2-05. I led my group to the bunk and asked them to help me stack up the tables and chairs. Luckily, they were cooperative. The tables and chairs were stcked up in no time. After arranging the tables into 'bed's, we changed into our PT kits and fall-in at the foyer. A series of group activities were conducted. Theresa and I were discussing the MC things with the seniors instead. The activities lasted until lunch time. Field Cooking! I stole one of Joonkai's instant noodles. It's not that I didn't have one, in fact i have three, it's because the instant noodles he had are my fave! Haha! Field cooking was done at the drain outside gallery. I took a long time to light up the solid fuel and started cooking. Theresa helped me with that because she said that the pizza the guides were making are yucky. The noodle was nice! Haha. After cleaning up was circuit games. All the circuit games are nice other then one. I'm not saying which one. xD. Then after that, PREPARATIONS FOR CAMPFIRE! Haha. During that time, Theresa and I were rehersing like mad. We thought the other NCC members the 'Pass-it-on' song and they kept saying 'sick in the mind' after each paragraph. Dinner was soon ready. I wasn't very nervous then. But when we changed into the camp t-shirt and went onto the stage, my heart was pounding madly. Soon, the guests all came. There were some problems with the campfire so Andy asked me to entertain the crowd first or else i get it. Luckily, Theresa helped me. We asked the guests to do the Beatty wave and play the bombing game. Throughout the campfire, I was practically reading from the script. The most stupid thing the crowd did was to whistle when Theresa and I demostrated the dances. Other then that, I enjoyed the process of the being a MC. Haha. It was fun. When the campfire was closed and after clearing up, the sentry duties were revealed. I was suppose to do sentry with Alex from 12 to 2, Main gate. We bathed and it was lights out at 11.30. At around 11.45, I woke up and changed into my number 4, that's when i found my bunk key missing. Joonkai and Eddie started to shine their torchlights at me. I continued to search but i cannot find it. I reported for sentry and was still worried about the keys. Sentry was boring. Alex and I almost fell asleep. After sentry duty, I went back to my bunk and search again. After 30 minutes of searching, I gave up and went to bed.

day two*~
Woken up at 6.15 by Joonkai who has just finished his sentry. Took some hair mud from yongjin and smashed them into my hair. Changed to PT kit and fall-in the foyer. Sir told me that the key was with him. I left it on the door. Carelessness again. After everyone was there, it was PT. Haha. PT ain't very tough that day. Then came the running part. FOr the second time with the guides, we ran to bishan park! Haha. On the way, it was fun making cheers and songs with the Part Bs. When we reached, we had plain bread and kaya for breakfast. Joonkai started to make fun of Wei Ghee, who started a major eating spree. He ate-do not blink your eyes- 10 pieces of plain white bread. 10 pieces=1 loaf. Joonkai called him Huo(fire) Yuan Chia, in english- shameless. Huo Yuan Chia in english is Fearless, so Wei Ghee is shameless. Haha. Yongjin and I also started to make fun of Claudius and Junda. Haha. Later, it was the Scavenger Hunt. The list was kind of weird. How can we find 3 balloons in a park?! After a few hours, it's the end of the hunt. Haha. We went back and were briefed on the Airsoft Shooting course. The rifle was so fake! No recoil, no ease spring, so light. The Part Bs and guides went first. We were supposed to go for Knowledge Exchange with the guides patrol leader and practice Reaction to Enemies' Fire. RTEF rocks, man! Yongjin, Hanyong and I were in a group and we did it very fast. Cool... After a talk with Sir Kelvin, it's time for us to go for the shooting thing. Yongjin and I volunteered to be the assistants but were soon pissed off. When it's our turn, I took lane 9. The rifle has problems! No bullets come out! Sianz. After all that, we must shoot down 5 cans in 6 bullets. It was the 'ultimate challenge'. I was darn easy! But i was not a sniper although all my bullets hit the cans. My fourth bullet hit the can but it did not fall off. All the snipers in my batch, except for Nanda, was pure lucky to be a sniper. They shot one can and it hit another can, so both fell over. Yongkang was the best. He shot 5 cans with 3 bullets. The Airsoft thing took more than four hours, so there were no more nightwalk. Wahhh... I want nightwalk! The sentry duties for the day were mostly guides. Alex was the only poor fellow who did for two days. Haha. Finally got to sleep in peace.

day three*~
Woke up on day three by Ben. AFter PT, it was a hike at macritchie. We took a bus to some road where nobody walks to and started the hike. The walk was almost like a living torture. Ups and downs are everywhere. Steep roads rocky paths were what we walked out. But the smell and what we see was all nature green. Haha. Fresh air. Ahhhhhh~... After a long long long long long long long long walk, we reached the tree top walk, a hanging bridge over the forest. The view was magnificent. But the boys infront kept shaking the damn bridge. Wei Ghee was so afraid that he walked in small steps. Haha. AFfer the tree top walk was something worst than living torture. This path was full of stairs. Up and up and up and up and up and then down and dwon and down and down and then up again. Finally we reached the Julutong Towers which was some kind of bird watching tower. We enjoyed the view and took a rest there. And then... living torture part 2! We walked the same path back to where we started except for the tree top walk. Took the bus back to school and it's time for bunk inspection. I quickly commanded my bunkmates to what to do as we know how tough the inspection will get. Soon, Yik Jun was here to check our bunk. We fall-in outside the bunk and waited for his decision. He said it was overall okay but the windows are dirty. So we got pumped for that. After all inspections finished, we all assembled at the foyer before going to the carpark area for the prize giving ceremony. First it was the best cadet and guides camper award.
For sec ones...
"Sim Yi and Germaine."
For sec twos...
"Weekeat and Audrey."
For sec threes...
The tension was high. yongjin was the favourite. Even I think that Yongjin is going to get the award. I think no one expected the result too.
"Chanyu..."
I was stunned. My eyes wide open, staring at everyone. When i saw everyone looking at me, then i marched out.
"...and Theresa."
Wahhhhh... Is this a prank? We recieved out prizes and took a photo. Next is the Overall Best Group award. The IC and 2IC must come out to recieved the prize. This result was unexpected too.
"Triple Cs!"
I sighed as everybody laughed. I marched out and recieved the prizes. The coke and sprite. Then took a photo with robelle, the 2IC and marched back. What did I do with the prizes? Hmm... I gave my can of coke to the Part Bs to share, the bottles of coke and sprite to my group and left myself with a packet of melted chocolates. I'm still wondering if it's a prank...
