great camp!
i'm back, yups. this is gonna be a long entry. gonna blog about the camp.
on the first day, we were all super excited. then on the way to kota tinggi, some slept, some played cards. we were so looking forward to the camp!
when we reached, we were kinda disappointed at the facilities. especially the toilets. some of us started complaining, but we tried to keep positive.
didn't do much on the first day. did cable crossing. i went first, since i've done it before. i was halfway through it when the thing felt so shaky. i thought it was me, since i'm afraid of heights, and my legs were probably shaking. then cai xia (my beloved, cute, pretty and sweet instructor) asked me to look over to my right. i did, and saw that kenneth chew (the camp commandant) was toing-ing on the cable.haha.then i screamed.and continued.
the rest of the group completed the thing fast too. love my group. the group consists of cailing, joanna, ruth, chrislynn, ziwei, cheryl, kelly, kia yong, vinnodh, hong wei, kenneth, zong da and me.
dinner wasn't that nice, but still ok. afterall, it's a camp.
second day. we went trekking. tiring and disappointing at first. cause we trekked all the way up (3 hours plus) to eat lunch. just one rock wall away from the submit. but instructor rudy didn't think all of us could overcome the rock wall, and so we didn't go up. it was hard to get down, but the guys in my class were super nice. love them all. some guys stood in front to pave the way. the rest positioned themselves between the girls. every two to three girls, there will be a guy. ivan was in front of me and behind joanna. i was surprised lors. he didn't seem so gentleman in school.haha.whenever joanna loses her balance or look like she's gonna fall, ivan will support her by holding her back. then whenever i'm slipping, he'd hold my hand and say 'careful'. but joanna, cailing and i was careful not to hold on to his hand for too long.after all, he does have a girlfriend.haha.zaki was very nice. he isnt even in our class and he helped us. jiayu is prone to falling, so zaki became her personal assistant.haha.terry and charles were hopping from front to back, making sure everyone was alright. our class was super united. really. i'm sure if mrs azlan saw the scene, she'd be touched. real unity doesn't need any forcing, it just comes naturally. we were on our own until we reached the river. cause we couldn't catch up w ith the classes in front. but none of us were injured. joanna's old injury affected her, but she was alright after that.
on the third day, we did this acid river thing. we gotta cross over to the other side by a rope. unity was shown too. and zong da has a real long body.haha.he's tall.then so funny.cause he fell into the 'river', and we were like, you're melting! haha. then he said, not so fast. 1.8 m to melt. then he jumped out. then we, 'whatever. tall lahs.' haha.
then there's this thing where we gotta get up to the log and crawl over to the other side. kia yong was nice. he rested one let 90 degrees on the chair, so the girls could get up. he's so skinny, but strong.haha.we need to sing different songs as each person crosses. and the ncc guys sang so many horny songs. laughed like mad.
we did rock wall too. and trust fall. haha. thank God the guys managed to hold me. i was quite afraid they couldn't take my weight, and that i'd fall. but they said i wasnt heavy at all.haha.
they didn't catch hold of vinnodh, but they tried. then the girls formed the canvas and we succeded. cheryl overcame her fear. she hit eugenia somewhere near the eye. but we didnt tell her. didn't want her to feel bad about it. eugenia is really nice.
then we did rafting. the raft didn't break!! haha. i was quite surprised the ncc guys didn't know how to tie a raft. so i tied, together with the BB guys. the rest of the class helped in cutting strings, tying tyres, holding the pipes while we tied and all. unity. =) we had to make three trips. we were last in the first trip, so we thought we'd lose. but we managed to make it first for the last two trips.and guess what? we WON! we screamed and hugged each other. that scene was totally touching.
we then went to the chalet. haha. it was our turn to stay at the chalet. shared room with eugenia, ziwei, cailing and joanna. we wanted to 'thong' the night, so our class went over to the guys room. then some left to play strip poker at other class's room. i didn't go. so the rest of us talked. zong da slept by the time. haha. there was another mattress at his feet there, so i rested there. i fell asleep though.haha. then i woke up, and was surprised to see that the guys returned.haha.then the girls said i looked blur and shocked, and was funny. then some left, and me and eugenia rested on the mattress, and fell asleep. till the next morning. haha. but nothing happened to us. we shared one mattress. then the guys slept on the beds. ivan, wai leong and zi ming one bed, charles and eugene one bed, and zong da one mattress. when we went down, the girls told us they tried to wake us up, but couldnt.haha.and the guys no space to sleep, so kiayong, kenneth, terry and alex went to my room with cai, joanna and ziwei.
the last day, we cleaned up. so gek lors. the NA girls. totally dirtied the place. argh. but we cleaned up.
love the camp. love caixia. love pei yun.
and. love MY CLASS.
3E2 rocks my socks!
unity. we overcame every obstacle. and we bonded. we're so close now. guys and girls alike. thanks for everything! and eugene is a great monitor. =)
miss the camp.
looking forward to the class gathering now. =)
haha.anyways. i just woke up. slept for 18 hours straight. haha.
