Adventure camp totally rocks!!
LOL just reached home from camp. It's soo fun! I shall describe the whole camp in great detail cos it's the most memorable camp for me and it made 2SY bonded!
Kay wednesday the camp instructors came to SC and we had camp chief introduction and played icebreaker and learned all the camp stuff. Our class instructors are instructor Shannon and Dee. They are funn and cool! We were joking about leewei being nancy cheng. Muahaha so funny. Yupps then we went off to CCAC. OMG it's so near changi airport and all the aeroplanes flying past are so close to our heads! We look up almost every 15 minutes when we first reached. Haha. The dorms there are spaceyand we dumped our stuff and quickly ran for lunch. The instructors are VERY VERY particular about punctuality. The food there is definitely better than school's food. But less rice.): Oh ya we had to do the makan cheer everytime before eating! Goes like this: "Sup! *clap clap clap clap* Sup! *Clap clap clap clap* Sup sup sup sup! Xishuashuaxishuashua xishuashua let's eat!" Lol.
Next we moved on to water activities. We did Kayaking first and my gosh it's so fun! But the bad part about it is sand got into our shoes and it's very uncomfortable and painful. For Kayaking me and Lyeann partnered and at first we rowed the boat in a completely wrong direction! Lol then we caught up with others and 'parked' our boats properly together. Then we had to stand on our kayaks.x) Tt's fun. And when we reached the bank we saw instructor Dee turning ppl's boats over and we didnt want to go. Haha but we still went. And got our boats capsized. Lol the seawater salty arhs..After Kayaking was dragon boating and tt was as fun as kayaking. We had races with the other half of the class and my group wonwonwon!! Haha and the instructor kept on shouting stuff for us to shout when rowing also. He kept on asking us to say our SC cheer and he liked it and asked us to do it again. Can you imagine us stomping and shouting SC cheer when we were at sea!! Our boat was rocking like mad at one point and I thought we were gonna capsize. So we challenged him to jump into the sea before we cheer again. And he rly jumped! We tried to row away the boat but he got into our boat before we were far. Haas.Then dinner and shower. OMG so freaking crowded and I had to wash my hair at the common toilet which has no door. Siao. Then we came up with ideas for our class cheer and item for campfire. Yupps and then mass supper and debriefed. Lights out was at 10.45 I think. But ppl were still going crazy and talking and giggling. So irritating.
Thursday morning woke up at 5:20 and had to chiong for the toilet again. Morning run was refreshing. Think we ran more than 2.4km le. Woots training for 2.4km run. After breakfast we did field cooking. Cooked maggi mee! I think it taste okay..but then I only sipped some soup, didnt eat the maggi. Lyeann's spoon was passed around and used by so many ppl. Haha. And Shannon used twigs to eat one of the group's maggi! Tt group also added twigs and leaves inside their maggi. Lol. Shannon was like 'hope I don't get indigestion'. Haha he's so funny. We did all aboard and another game at the general stations. About teamwork and blah blah. Alot of things so dun bother to go into detail. Then rockwall. Haiz..only climb 2 storeys..didn't complete the last storey. No strength le. Aha after lunch came the scary part--challenge rope courses. I did wild woozie with lyeann. It's a trust partner game. Like two ppl will have to stand on a high pole then walk carefully sideways with arms around each other. Must balance or will fall which is quite embarrassing. I was so scared to take the first step cos I couldnt see where the rope was and when I finally got onto the rope lyeann kept pulling me towards her and i was leaning so far forward and at the end when we finally reached lyeann was standing normally and i was gonna fall straight down. Wah so relieved when we reached the end of the rope.
Arh then we did some other games in general stations. But did not get to do flying fox! So pissed. The line broke I think and they had to try it first. Sigh..so we went for campfire prep again. Here's our class cheer:
'We are the champions,
We are the champions.
No time for losers
Cos we are the champions..
OF THE WORLD!
*stamps*
Take a glance
It's your chance
To be wowed
By our style
Add some love
Kick in some spice
You'll be shocked not once but twice
So prepare to prove your stuff
Cos we're SY the brains and buff
Tie your laces and your hair
Cos we'll knock you out with flair
Say 'ooh'
Say 'ahh'
Say 'S'
Say 'Y'
Say 'S-I-N-C-E-R-I-T-Y'
2SY!!
Whoooo!'
I think it's the best and Instructors Dee and Shannon said it's very very good! And we went 'hng of course'! Lmao. And our item's a song:
'There's a fire in SY and it's shining
There's a fire in SY I swear
There's a fire in SY and it's shining shining shining
Spread the fire fire everywhere
There's a fire in SY and it's glowing
There's a fire in SY I swear
There's a fire in SY and it's glowing glowing glowing
Spread the fire fire everywhere
There's a spirit in SY and it's thriving
There's a spirit in SY I swear
There's a spirit in SY and it's thriving thriving thriving
Spread the SY spirit everywhere'
And I love it. We were so happy that we finally got the hang of both our cheer and our song.^^ Ahh then we did abseiling. Whoosh that's so fun. But scary when I started to lean back on the metal bar. I was gripping the rope so tightly cos I was scared tt if I let go I would zoom down. Haha instructor Sky was like no point gripping so tightly cos you will have to let go off it bit by bit to move.;D After dinner we showered and finally I got a cubicle with the shower head.
Finally--the CAMPFIRE! 2SY was the second last to perform..and we messed up our cheer, but thanks to debbie and Wenhui's quick thinking we pulled through it. Sad tt we forgot our lines again though.): After all the class performances the instructors gave some performances and we did the flea fly mosquito thingy again. And we did the sexy claps for Dee and Shannon.^^ Yaa tt's basically about it. We had supper and then debrief. My gosh I cried during debrief all because of the music tt they were playing and because of what Shannon said. He said so sad things..like must bring back ur memories, forget me never mind but you must remember what you have learnt in this camp..and he said it so slowly. Thankfully he asked us to put our heads down so no one could see tt I was silently crying cos I thought I was the only sensitive person crying. But when he was nearing the end of his speech I heard alot of snifflings. Lol. Then I looked up and realised more than half the class was crying. My gawd all because of Shannon and the music!! It was seriously damn saddd. Dee wasnt so bad..not so mushy. Eeks. Then we went up to our dorms and were laughing at how Shannon stood. SO gay. Haha. And i realised tt my tan marks are very evident.
Today was the saddest. I cried like siao. Couldnt bear to leave the campsite. We quickly did area cleaning and had 30 minutes spare to spend with Dee and Shannon. They gave us back their autographs then started talking..then we took lots of pictures with them. And quite a few was him wearing leewei's SC skirt! OMG so lol! He had to squeeze into the skirt. And he posed for Cheryl and also catwalked with the skirt on! Wowww he said it's his first time wearing a skirt. Rofl. Then group photos[: Haiz we cried again when he asked us to do a final class cheer and sing our song for him. I actually wanted to bear with it but when singing the 'spread the SY spirit everywhere' i cannot tahan alrd. Especially seeing Dee looking so sad and Shannon trying to look cheerful. Camp debrief the choir girls sang for them and it was sadd. Finally when we were gonna leave the whole class cried again and knowing tt we might never see them again was the saddest. I had to focus on controlling my emotions on the way back to school.
When at school I got such a shock because Mrs Low addressed us on the JI leader issue. Such a big thing happened so close to our school when we were in camp! My gosh I was also very freaked out by tt. And when mel and I went out of school to look for her mum, this guy came up and started taking pictures of us and the school. Scary. We faced our backs to him. I was somehow linking tt incident to the JI leader's escape. SO FREAKY can. tt man stayed there for a very long time snapping shots of everyone outside school at the busstop area. @.@
I wanna have camp at CCAC again! Soon! And I want class outing to CCAC to see Dee and Shannon again![:
XOXO,
