2006/04/09
Gone for a total of 4 days, which i spent at the sports camp 06/07 of ngee ann poly. Man, it was a cross between fun and torture, i supposed tt's how the camp organisers prevent ppl from running home halfway through the camp.
Indeed, tt thought crossed my mind like, a thousand times each time i passed the gate. Sad part was, my legs weren't obedient at all, so i stayed till the end.
Monday- Woke up at roughly 7.30am.
- Got rdy to head for camp, blah blah blah.
- Went downstairs, took 154, headed towards np.
- Reached there, finished the signing up and everything.
- Apparently, things started with the normal 'Self Intro' part.
- Apparently, everyone still dunno each other's name due to the fact tt while we were getting to noe each other, the other groups were doing cheers and screaming at the top of their voice.
- Apparently, the 'self intro' part was a big waste of time.
- When everyone officially arrived, the camp organisers introduced themselves.
- They were made up of: Commitee Members(Main organisers of the camp a.k.a idiots who we should be hitting for the torture we went through), helpers(Helping out for everything from games to food, a.k.a assholes who are out to get their revenge for the torture they went through during last yr's sports camp) and finally, CGLs and GLs(Camp Group Leaders and Group Leaders a.k.a Committee member lackeys)
- Shouldn't have made the CGLs and GLs sound so bad, since they were the ones who took care of us afterall, so pardon my words.
- First instruction for campmates: UR GROUP FLAG IS VERY IMPT, SO KEEP IT CLOSE TO U NO MATTER WAT, IF NOT, HELPERS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS WILL ATTEMPT TO TAKE 'EM AWAY.
- Oh ya, before tt, saw two guys who looked like some ppl i noe, and one who looks like junxiong(JC classmate) if he went to NP.
- Plus. saw chee keong(from JSS) who's one of the GLs. Man, he nvr changes.
- Day 1 activities starts.
- Realised y it was called a sports camp.
- To put it simply, it's a camp for showcasing the sports cca in ngee ann.
- First cca to showcase: Volleyball.
- First casulty to come out: GL Lester, barely with us for a few hrs and have to be taken away to the hospital becuz he broke his ankle.
- First thought we had in our mind: Wat a suey kia.........
- Before we could move on to other ccas, it started raining(thunderstorm).
- Ended up doing cheers and blah blah.
- Finally, nite came and every group lost their flag.
- Nice going, committee members.
- As a result, we were supposed to take part in some treasure hunt.
- It has one more rule: GLs are supposed to stick some paper on them, if it gets wet, and every GLs' papter gets wet, the game is lost.
- To ensure to wetting part, water bombs were given out.
- For some stupid unknown reason, we kept finding other groups' clues, but not ours.
- In the end, whole thing turns to be a disaster, due to certain factors(Inclusive of conflict btw our group and other groups, and some smart-guy-who-tinks-he-noes-it-all-and-started-critising-about-committee-members)
- Couldn't wait to get to bed(or sleeping bag)
- Heard the worse news ever: We can only slp at 1am and MUZ wake up by 7.30am to assemble the next morning, plus, it's gonna go on for the next few days)
- Dotz, sports camp got off with a bad start.
And thus, day 1 ends. Pretty boring, i supposed they concentrate more on showcasing the ccas than bonding and fun.
Tuesday
- Woke up at 7am.
- Washed up in roughly 15min.
- Had some morning PT as their way of 'waking us up fully'
- Had bread and 'apple jelly' for breakfast.
- Whole day was spent with ice breaker games, including catching and showcase of floorball.
- One game was all gals be catchers.
- Guys were all down in 10min.
- Another game was all guys be catchers.
- Gals were all down in 1 min.
- Was asked to bring out our blindfolds next.
- Had to blindfold ourselves, went around the whole sch while being guided, and get back.
- Now i understand how Chen Wei Lian feels.
- I knocked my head on the pillar twice(result of being too tall) and got shot in the butt by a water gun and being washed by one bucket of water.
- Wat was interesting was wat happened after dinner.
- Committee members came out.
C.M: Guys, are u bored?
Us: yea..........
C.M: Do u wanna have some fun?
Us: Yea!!!!!!!!!
C.M: Well, we found in our letterbox abt a guy, who's interested in this gal and wanna noe her hp no. Shall we ask him to confess right now?
Us: Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the c.m found out was easy. Apparently, the guy wrote a letter to request the GLs for help, but the letter somehow ended up in the C.M's letterbox. Another suey kia, as u can see.
Both came out, with the guy embarrassed. Whereas the gal, how should i put it, one look at her and u noe she juz saw the guy and wanna reject him straight away without any qn. So, while the guy confessed to her(with the c.ms making things funny), we were all silent. Moment he finished, we were all chanting 'Reject, reject!!!!' Man, we muz be rly chek up at tt time.
So the guy got rejected, and the gal was asked to stay. This time, 5 CGLs went out to compete for who can get her no. Could have died of laughter at this part.
First guy: Ur father, is a thief!!!!! Becuz he stole 2 beautiful diamonds and put 'em in ur eyes.
2nd guy: If i have to choose 3 letters in the entire alphabet, it'll be U N I.
3rd guy: (can't rmbr)
4rd guy:(can't rmbr)
5th guy: I won't say mushy stuff like those guys, u'll noe the best for urself when u see 'em.
*Method of rejecting: Those who got rejected will get shot by the water gun tt they juz gave her.
So in the end, she chose the first guy. Looks like gals rly wanna hear some sweet stuff before they get touched, eh?
- After tt, got another sports cca showcase.
- It's cheerleading, or Magnum Force!!!
- Saw Zhijun in it.
- Got a big shock first.
- They started off with flinging some small gal into the air and catching her.
- I began tinking, if i was the one flinging the gal into the air, the problem will be whether the gal survives when she drops down.
- Took part in one of their demostrations, which involves a gal to stand on my shoulders.
- Holy $@#^, i tink i shrank by 1cm.
- Lastly, we had some kinda weird conveyor belt.
- Involves everyone to lie down, put out our hands, and carry the ppl.
- I officially became a sex maniac, becuz two gals who were being passed down got their butts grabbed by me.
- Hey, it wasn't my fault, which is worse, the gals getting her butt touched by me or her butt crashing onto my face?
- But i have to admit, i'm getting more and more like pig lately:X
- Finally spent the last hr preparing for items to perform on campfire nite before washing up, having supper and going to bed.
Other than going to bed at 1am, we were only able to bathe at 12pm, so u can imagine the kinda stench each of us had. Worse part was the meal, imagine eating chicken for lunch and dinner everyday. Fried chicken, stir fry chicken, pan fried chicken, satay chicken, curry chicken, man, i swear if i eat tt camp food for another 3 more days, i'll succcessfully get bird flu and officially become a cock.
Wednesday
- Woke up rly late, like at 7.15am.
- Washed up, realised i was the only one left in the toilet.
- No time to wear shoes, so i walked barefooted towards assembly area and wore shoes there.
- It was at tt time when my frens asked me: wah, u also kena the toothpaste ah?
- Only then when i realised there were some toothpaste on my leg.
- Seems like it's the work of the helpers while we were all asleep.
- Worse part was when i slp, i'm like a corpse, so i can hardly realised wat happened to me while i was asleep.
- In other words, i got no means of counter attack on wed nite if they decide to use toothpaste on us again.
- Decided to leave tt out for later.
- Once again, PT, this time with a jog around the whole sch campus.
- Passed by 2 canteens, with me almost running towards them.
- Finally we hit the swimming pool!
- This time, it was the showcase of water polo, canoeing and dragon boat.
- We started off with a game of water polo.
- First time in my life, i wished i was taller, for the stupid ball was thrown at high angle from time to time and the ball went through the tips of my fingers.
- Next was canoeing.
- Apparently, it was a sport which involves the playing of water polo on top of a canoe. Weird, eh?
- Apparently, my legs were too $#^&ing long for the canoe.
- So instead of being common and using the common ones named Vampire like the others, I was forced to use one named Dagger.
- Even the CCA ppl got a big shock when the dagger was requested to come out.
- So, i was rowing happily on the swimming pool.
- For a bit of fun, i decided to change direction.
- When u change direction, u put the paddle into the water, either left or right, depends on wat direction u wanna go.
- End up, instead of changing normally like others, mine capsized.
- Worse part was, i couldn't get out, legs were still too long and tightly struck inside canoe.
- Stayed underwater for roughly a min, tinking of whether to call for help, get out myself or to drown juz like tt.
- Decided 2nd option was better.
- So i swam my way up(dunno how i tink it, try swimming with ur legs in a canoe) and breathe for a while.
- Then i went underwater and got my legs out(After quite some effort).
- Looks like i did quite a stunt, cuz everyone was watching me.
- Despite tt, still thought canoeing was fun and put down my name.
- Lunch time, with chicken again(Here comes the bird flu)
- Went back, this time it was dragon boating.
- Realised y it requires a lot of arm strength. Apparently, it has to do with physics.
- After demo, we all got nth better to do, so we played pool catching.
- Catched ppl had to hold hands and be catchers, and only the two ppl at the end can catch ppl.
- Only 5 ppl left, inclusive of me after half an hr.
- Wanted to do a stunt, diving under water and going thru 2 lines of catchers.
- Looks like they noticed me, cuz the moment i went thru the first, i find myslf surrounded and unable to get out.
- Dotz, no more high risk stunts for me.
- Lastly is juz a game for fun, to do with panda bears, hunters and villagers.
- Got back to the table, where i got my biggest shock.
- My specs, somehow or rather, got one of its sides broken off.
- For the rest of the camp, i was wearing one-sided specs.
- Ok, day's wrapped up, time to prepare for campfire items.
Due to the fact tt we were at the pool the whole day, and the sun was blazing, i got myself a sunburn.
- Our group decided to re-enact the scene of getting the gal's hp no. tt happened on tuesday nite.
- But roles are reversed, this time is the gals to get the guy's hp no.
- And ending part of the story was, the guy chose a bapok instead of the gals.
- Almost died of laughter.
- I was chosen as MC. Apparently, for my mouth.
- One of the lines they recreate was amusing. 'Ur mother is a thief!!! Becuz she stole a spare tire and put it in ur stomach, make u look so cute'
- Oh ya, the guy chosen was a fat one(NOT ME LA), the 4 gals were those ah lian types and the bapok was a macho malay who got 6 pack.
- In the end, it started raining.
- So we all thought there goes the campfire.
- For some reason, they gathered us at the convention centre.
- Looks like instead of having chicken for dinner, we get a buffet instead.
- We all got saved from having bird flu.
- So, shocking part was, after dinner, we had campfire nite inside........the convention centre?
- This is the amusing part. Their 'campfire' was made of paper, some wood, some glow sticks and some light torches.
- Dotz, i would rly die of laughter at np's 'nice ideas'
- So most groups did cheers and blah blah, except for 3, inclusive of ours.
- Seems like the handing down of the presidency of the sports council was also on tt nite.
- After tt, it was disco nite.
- Looks like break dancing is the most 'in' thing, cuz the moment the music was changed to techno, everyone started chanting 'Change song, change song!!!!'
- Man, for the first time in my life, i found out tt i can break dance.
- Slpt at roughly 3 am tt nite, becuz the last 2 hrs were spent playing games and laughing at those who needed to forfeit when they lost the game.
- Forfeits include the guy being a 'iGallop' and the gal has to sit on it.
- Forfeits also included guys doing pumping on top of the gal.
- Wanna try guessing where most of the wise ideas came from? :)
- Finally, went to slp.
- Before slping, i heard some footsteps.
- Opened my eyes to see a guy bending over my groupmate with a marker in his hand.
- Kicked his butt and made him jumped.
- Toked to him a while, made a pact with him, with me revealing wat were the names of those slping and in return, i won't get my leg drawn.
- Man, i'm getting gd at backstabbing nowadays.
And thus, wednesday ended. Finally, it's time to go back home and get my well-deserved rest.
Thursday
- Woke up at roughly 8.30am.
- Apparently, the C.Ms allowed us to slp in.
- Looked at my fren's leg, almost died of laughter.
- The helpers sure noes how to design one's leg.
- Felt like going back to slp, but C.Ms requested us to meet at assembly area by 9.
- Talk about torture.........
- Briefing on the day. Looks like we were gonna get rly dirty, for they also requested us to wear unwanted clothes. *note: unwanted clothes.
- Had breakfast, activities started.
- First activity: in no time we got wet.
- Thought we were juz gonna get wet, but tt was impossible.
- Next activity, paint.
- Everyone was painted, some got their hair dyed.
- And before we noe it, we were covered in paint, mud, butter, oil, grass, and more paint.
- Worse part was the garbage pool.
- They filled up a hole with water, and threw in garbage and mud inside, making it the most revolting pool i've ever seen.
- All ended at roughly 3pm, with us having to clean the stadium and the toilets.
- Thankfully, our group had a smartass who immediately requested us to clean the toilets.
- Went in and washed ourselves straight away, without qn.
- Washed the toilet next.
- Had a recollection moment, speeches from some of the C.Ms before we finally break camp.
- But we didn't went back until 7pm, partly becuz we were spending some last moments with each other and the GLs.
- OK, headed home, no more sports camp, no more watever.
And thus, sports camp ended for me. Seems long, yet short. I wonder y.
-
For all who's wondering how my sunburn is, well, it's going at quite an interesting rate.
- Skin turned red on the first day.
- Skin remained red on the 2nd day.
- Skin turned dark on the third day.
- Skin started shedding off on roughly the 3rd day's nite.
- Skin still shedding on the 4th day.
So for now, i will have to change my identity from a cow to a snake. But i sure am amazed at the amt of skin tt is used to cover my body.
