lame

im doing this here thing as i cant get to maplesea. it is lame. well i just came back from camp some 2 days ago. camp was slack. first day, we had 30minutes to pack lunch and dinner for camp at changi. mad. we hiked a long way and top speed to the NPCC campsite. there, we had to eat lunch and get separated into groups. me, felicia, jie heng and edmund were in the same group. we had to separate again when we had to pitch the tents. they wanted use to find 5 people from different schools and we ended up pitching tents we were not sleeping in. the people i was working with had no idea how to pitch tents or split work. me and another girl from new town did most of the work. i ended up with 2 blisters from pegging. burst one. the hurting lasted throughout camp. the tent a pitched was the worse tent in the sense that it was in the worst position in the whole campsite. it was the nearest to the trees and thus, resulted in a lot of insects. i was lucky that i did not have to sleep there throughout the camp. after we had our dinner, we were split into our tents in groups this time. i finally had someone i knew in the tent. that night before bed, there was a treasure hunt. we found a loaf of bread. that was the only clue we solved. the other teams that found all the clues harly got anything. we then had our shower which we had to wait a long time for as a lot of people were missing. i thought for sure tht we were going to get punished for it. however, we didnt. i then realised that either the ATC standard has dropped or they were just lying tht ATC was tough. all through the night we could not sleep. a lot of people were chatting. moreover, in the middle of the night, there was music playing! man... plus we heard the boys getting scolded. the instructors were mad. the second morning, we did not have PT. think that was because a lot of people were praying for rain. well it rained at 5+ when we were supposed to have PT. having to activate wet weather, we rushed to the canteen at 5.30am. which was 1/2 hour early. seeing that its was raining, the instructors asked us to go back to sleep and fall in at 7. that is cool. so we spent the morning having breakfast and after that, having our ATF. i forgot what it meant. we had the mini ropes course. simin and zhixin were the best at that. zhixin made it across everything quickly while simin sort of shook her way there without any support. now that's what's being cool. after that was the maze. some sortof maze. we had to really (not just practically) feel our way around. it was so dark that closing your eyes would make no difference except that it would make your eyes more comfortable. after the dark maze, there was a shooting game. it was pretty lame. teamwork, communication and cooperation. ha. well we went back for lunch, late as usual. it wasnt our fault that we were group 9 and were released last. well we certainly did not have time to cook. all i had was a can of sardine and a fruit bar. that was pretty pathetic. well we then had out survival course. it was boring but enriching. we learnt a lot of things there. things like not panicking, improvising and observing. we learnt how to make traps and get water. later, we went to the beach and were made to cook coconut rice and orange egg. we aso had to make some paisha thing which was a shade. our group's shade was the best. however, the coconut rice was not cooked as the guys were to lazy to dig out the flesh. the orange egg had a hole in the first orange and thus we had to get a second one. the second was burnt and we had to get it out of the fire. in the end, we dropped it. it became sandy-side-up-orange-egg. we went back to the campsite where we had our pioneering. we had to make a diagonal lashing and a square lashing. felicia was taking me too seriously. i think she was fed up with me. she looked like she thought that i was a know-it-all. when i offered to help, she looked like she didnt want my help and thought that i thought she was inferior. tht was pretty stupid. anyway, later we had to make a catapult. our catapult could not stand but due to the complicated catapults of group 7 and 8, our team won with a covered distance of 2m. group 7 threw 2 balls of twine and gorup 8 threw the twine backwards. we then went for our shower at the dorms. where the teachers were staying. we were the first ones in. we got ready for campfire. we were lucky that we did not have to perform tht night. edmund, jieheng, me and felicia were sitting together. before campfire, jieheng told me that he would have killed darrin if he went to the camp. he wanted to sit next to a CHIJ girl at the SANA course but darrin had got to the seat first. better luck next time jieheng. and wasnt wanyi enough? whatever. at the campfire, i forgot a lot of songs. jieheng next to me was like singing with recognition to every song. and some idiot was telling idian jokes when an indian guy was sitting in front. sure he was funny, but he was loud too. we were sure lucky the instructors didnt come up and scold up. the ubin wave was funny. at our section, the screams were low moans while at the middle sections, it was high pitched and the people were really screaming. the performances were funny. especially the 'i ask my love' where they acted it out and the 'when you're happy and you know it' they changed the actions. then we had the friendship dance. i kept stepping on people's toes. sorry. the next morning, PT was cancelled gain due to rain. woohoo. we were lucky. we were suppossed to fall in at 6am and it rained at 5.50+am. that was really sheer luck. we had breakfst in the canteen. then a really cadet-looking mdm (hey, she had plaits) asked us to gather all the messtins and stoves and solid fuels. we lost some messtins and stoves. we were expecting punishments but there were none. the instructirs just helped find the missing items. we had to fall in after the rain and it was really hot. the groups in front did not want to sit down as the ground was wet. however, our group sat and it was refreshing. we were sitting on the cold ground in the hot sun. we had to wash the tent sheets. fortunately, it rained again and we were stranded in the building away from the canteen. we did not have to wash the stuff. the instructors were sleeping there and we dared to sleep while the others were busy washing the things. we then had to wipe the sheets dry and then we got to fall in again. kaisiang was awarded best male camper for sec 3. after that, we fell in in units and had to trek back to the jetty. we got to board the boat first as ACS(I) sort of fell out with their NCOs. too bad huh. it was such a long queue we jumped. well we got back to the jetty of the island of singapore. i was the first to attempt to get down fromm the boat this time. i was so darn scared that i would fall into the water. well all those people who were disappointed, too bad for you, i didn't. we had to have our belongings checked like when we are flying overseas. then we had to go up and fall in in the rain. when they were happy, we went back to shelter. that was when i saw wendy and junling in windbreakers. that was also when i knew that they were sick. that was what the NCOs got for making us walk back in the rain. rain, not drizzle. a lot of people fell asleep in the bus, including me. i kept having to refrain myself, or rather my head, from knocking into xiuying who was beside me. i woke myself up when i almost bumped into her and she was staring at me. i felt pretty stupid. and glad that i wasn't sitting next to a guy. i have to apologise to xiuying for bruising her head with my wooden pole. i'll try not to next time.
