The one for me.

hey hey i'm back from my long week! had camp during monday and tuesday, and went to malaysia from wednesday to friday~ so let me talk about the camp first..

Day 1: The facilitators met at 8am and we started discussing and preparing each of us for the camp, mostly the amazing race. After that, the campers came one by one and we made 3A and 3C our bunk for the camp, with 3A being for the girls and 3C for the guys. We had a introductory workshop, and discussed abt what racial harmony was. Anyway it lasted till 1pm and we had lunch. It was nasi lemak and everyone ate till abt 1.30pm?

We had some get together games such as the memorising name game, where you have to say out the names of everyone before you, and "Tempo tempo", adapted from the game played on Channel 56. Soon we broke into our teams. Since we were a team, we had to come up with a group name and group cheer and the group name has to start with T, E, A or M, and had to do with the dinner we were going to prepare later.

I suddenly thought of "Makan" and tada~ we were called Team Makan! LOL

and the group cheer part, also thought by me and it went..

WE'RE THE MAKAN ELITES
AND WE EAT EAT EAT
WHEN THE SUN COMES DOWN
WE SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
WE PLAY PLAY PLAY

TEAM MAKAN! EAT! SLEEP! PLAY!

nice right? LOL!

At 2pm, we left for each of our stations. Not forgetting, my group members had some changes as Fazilah and Maverick were not around, leaving Me, Yoong Kang and Quraisya. So I got Natalie Tan to join our group, since her's had 6 people.

We started going our stations. The below are not in order because I didn't really remember them.

1. Count the number of Ls and Ts that can be made with the lockers in Sec 3.

2. Draw a map of the 1st Floor. I remember I made it harder by having a time limit and made them run from point to point to draw the map. I know it isn't fair but.. they could draw a nice one by discussing what to draw right? haha..

3. At Limbang, there are some zodiac animals there and they were supposed to take photos of them doing the action of the animal.

4. With reference to clues, they were supposed to find different venues in the school and form a picture which leads them to the station at the exercise corner while walking to Lot 1.

5. At the exercise corner, we were supposed to videotape a 2min video on exercising. My group had this idea of persuading a boy to make use of the facilities and become fitter. Nice right?

6. With a picture, they had to find a playground at Limbang and take only 45 steps to walk around the perimeter.

7. At Limbang, there was a poster for an event and they had to memorize the stuff on it.

8. Get 2 signatures from teachers. This was done real quickly because this was our first station and when we started doing it, Ms Rajoo and Ms Tang were like behind us -.-

9. We had plates with numbers on them overturned, so they had to turn them over one by one, matching the pairs, like memory game. And during this game, Yoong Kang injured himself and when we went back to school, I had to apply first aid, something that I was uber inexperienced in. I applied some antispectic cream, and hoped it will get better.

10. We had to go Limbang to buy our ingredients for our dinner. As Hwai Yi was a station master and din had a group, he joined us. We bought some stuff like chicken stock and made chicken soup. The problem was we didn't have any chicken inside -.- we also bought some potatoes to make mash potato.

We went back to school and started cooking. We boiled water and skinned the carrots. We couldn't find the skinner or what do you call that and so we had to use knives. Yoong Kang gladly volunteered himself, but Liying saw him almost cutting his finger and came to help us. Thanks Liying!

There were some funny stuff that happened. There were some groups who were not able to start the fire and I went around helping starting the fire. I also held the fire starter wherever i went and soon, Ms Tang gave me the nick name "009" LOL! Quraisya also had some funny parts. When I saw her chopping the onions I started to laugh. After cutting them to small pieces, she used the back of the knife and kinda smashed them? Also, the xiao bai chye i bought, was supposingly meant to be done like the Yong Tau Foo, but it was cut into small parts. The potatoes for the mashed potato were not cooked enough, causing the potato to be hard.

After that we started eating each other groups' food. one had cheese egg with bread, others had pasta, pizza, garlic bread, tom yum soup.. thats about all? oh i remember our genius president doreen's group had spaghetti but most of them were thrown away. NOT because it ain't tasty. Its because it was too much. Not forgetting, as Doreen wasn't that talented in cooking, she went around collecting rubbish and some ungrateful people called her the rubbish girl. Hey! What she did was something not many people will do. Respect ok!

The rest of the day we pratically slacked and had some stuff about the workshop. I was really tired and at about 11+pm Ms Tang was having a discussion with the group leaders for the skit and I played Chinese Chess with Yoong Kang and Doreen. Won Yoong Kang, made Doreen si qi but she "won". The band were having their camp fire at around the same time but they had some difficulties because the fire was too big.

Soon Ms Tang came out and screamed at us telling us to sleep. Sec 4s had sentry duty but I couldn't tahan till like 4am as planned? By the Sec 4s la, for the chit chat session. so after the short chit chat session, we went to sleep and I shared the sleeping bag with Suren. In the middle of the night, it was really really cold la! but since it was shared with Suren, I couldn't cover myself with the other half so I went to take my towel. Cannot tahan also must tahan. Until about 6am, Haikal woke up for his prayers and so Suren used his sleeping bag and I covered myself. At 6.30am, I was supposed to wake up, wash up and help out at the Cookery room, but I asked Suren and he said "5mins" and wow! the next time I woke up was like 7.05am and at the same time Vicky woke up so we went to wash up and did not bathe because we will smell of oil and all these after the cooking.

After we washed up, we went to Cookery room and saw most of the food done, so I just tried to help out here and there, but did not do the cooking myself. Kinda wasted my time? Because I don't really remember in what ways I helped. During the proccess I was like trying to zi-high to keep myself awake because I think my face was quite stoned. Soon the rest of the members came and we had breakfast. Saw some or at least most of the people all sian sian one. Sure is never sleep. After that, we went to prepare for our skit. And our group's idea was like. A Malay girl(Quraisya) was always bullied by 3 other Chinese Boys(Me, Andrey and Hwai Yi) by all the racists jokes, and most of them came from me. I felt bad la, but it was all to make the skit more convincing.

After the skit presentation, we had this debrief and Quraisya mentioned I was quite a caring facilitator because I made them drink lots of water and when Yoong Kang was injured, I was concerned for him in the sense that I made him go back to school for first aid even though he said he could tahan. Something I add myself, I held him while crossing the road! Because if I'm not wrong, he got knocked by a car once and he has some kind of phobia. I also taught him how to cross the road properly. If you guys don't believe, you can ask Quraisya! or my other teammates! Miss Tang even said I was husband material -.- After I heard that I was like super embarassed la! my face warm warm de..

My parents kept calling because I told them it would end at 1pm but it delayed till 2+pm. My phone wasn't with me and soon they called Ms Tang. Paiseh ar! Because this type of things very unpredictable de ma. And I didn't have the phone beside me because I din't want to distrupt the sharing session.

This camp was quite fun la. Got to know most of my juniors better and could bond better with everyone as a whole. But I really didn't sleep well lor, so end up stoning the whole day until when I reached home and slept for about 5hours? ok maybe too much but my point is I slept la. And when I woke up, I had to pack my bag for the Malaysia Trip. I'm gonna wait till I got the pictures for the Trip from my mum's camera. Till then, see ya!
