monday, 29th may 2006

a reluctant heart torn between home and friends. for one, i realli can't bear to leave my comfy bed fer the camp... and yet on the other hand, i imagined all the fun i could get frm the camp... cheers, new friendships forged. all these are somethings tt i had basically in mind. the last camp tt i went fer was in sec 1 (yes... tt's so century to mani out there... and i pon the sec 3 outward bound camp =) ) the main difference between now and then was tt when i was actually there, i wasn't present wif a burdened heart, unlike in secondary one. perhaps... i have grown more mature, n perhaps i have the company of friends, or it could be tt it's onli a 2 days one night camp. well... i m not sure abt though.

camp started @ LT3, wif the introduction of our various camp groupings and our group leaders, and then sending us off to our bunks to put down our bags. then we had to rush to the bball court fer a series of icebreakers. some 2pid balloon game where we had to tie a balloon to our right ankles and then running around, to burst others' balloons. then there was tug of war... the JC1 vs JC1 round... my grp won... but the JC1 guys vs. JC2 guys round, i had to admit tt the JC1 guys suffered a crushing defeat. imagine 4 JC1 guys up against abt. 10 JC2 guys! ridiculous! n wad's worse is tt i suffered 2 big BLISTERS on my left and right hand, the right index finger being the worse. n imagine tt i had to carry on wif the camp wif the blisters fer the nxt 2 days! (n the camp juz started...=.=)

the day juz flew past like magic, n the main highlight was the mentor's night, where i had to put up a skit fer the J1 and J2 mentors and 2 teachers. oh... i forgot to mention my grp! diaoz... anw... my grp is voicilia, my grp leader is darryl (veri nice person and some more he was frm 2004 batch 4SA and is a 12 years saint!) yeah... n my grp members: jasmine, fadilah, audrey and yan shan. anw... back to mentors' night. david, zhang yun and i were so scared tt the teachers will scold us fer selecting mrbrown's shows fer our skit. cuz its so political and it has hokkien vulgarities in them? anw... i chose the bah cho mee one n the no more birds one. i hope the audience enjoyed it. i tink they did, cuz they laughed? anw... i tink we've done quite well, despite onli starting rehearsing at the eleventh hour and onli havin 3 outta 5 of our mentors' night group present.

mentors' night's followed by night trail, then supper then debriefing. by right, i shld be able to turn in @ 12+, but david can't sleep, so i followed him to the track. n saw mani couples around there, either star gazing or sleeping. n it juz look so wrong: david and i, 2 GUYS, walking on the track STAR GAZING?! when the rest hu r star gazing are like a guy and girl? dots. well... anw... chatted wif david till nearly 2 b4 going back to the bunk. n i slept on the tables, n using my sleeping bag as a pillow.... zzzzzzz
