first. i cant go to next week's mutual cos' it's a dance and i am 14 only in May.
second. camp was freaking boring.
third. camp food sucked. i barely ate. ended up eating the biscuits they provided for supper (1 huge tin) to fill my stomach. maybe i am too picky.
fourth. i only brought 1 bottle of water. not enough. they didnt provide bottled distilled/mineral water. i drank water-cooler water. it is tap water. i was way too thirsty. also, i drank lotsa H2O drink. so much sugar. argh.
fifth. i couldnt sleep. somehow the cement floor of the classroom didnt seem as comfortable as last year.
sixth. my mom advised me not to bring my HP in case i would lose it. i should have brought it to sms max. i was so bored.
seventh. this one's a little funny. the 'to kill a mockingbird' movie ended up freaking me out. i was screaming all the way back to the classroom. i was super scared. why did bob ewell and boo radley have to be so scary-looking? why did boo radley have to hide behind the door? why did bob ewell have to check out atticus' car like so scarily? i know it's a cool car but he didnt have to do it like as if he was gonna kill jem, who was in the car. i understand that he was drunk. he's still so scary though.
eighth. i fell during the second activity in costa sands. i didnt go for the river-crossing and there was a used cigarette on the floor of the shower cubicle. at school, they gave us 4 pails to share. there were 6 cubicles for us to use.
ninth. i did one of the first moves for the campfire item wrongly. i doubt anyone really noticed cos' it was just too dark.
tenth. we reached school at 12am from costa sands. there was not enough time to take another shower. went to have a 5 1/2 hr sleep all sticky.
those are the things which sucked. oh wells.
i shall try to see the bright side of the camp now.
one. beatrice and crystal helped to make the camp funner (i know there isnt such a word. but you know what i mean.). we named one of the instructors and costa sands Raymond. his name was qian fu. it all started sth like this..
B- beatrice R-raymond MC- me and crystal
B-hello. that teacher over there (points to miss chia) was our science teacher. she is leaving us. she is nineteen.
MC- yeah. she is nineteen. she was from our school.
B- how old are you?
R- (laughs) 21.
B- still can.
MC- she is a GEP and was the prez of our student council.
B- what are you?
R- i am a loser. i am a slacker.
MC- what CCA?
R- no cca.
B- oh yeah. what is your name?
R- qianfu.
B- any english name?
R- no.
B- actually the name raymond suits you.
and the name stuck. later we also found out that he was from SAJC. haha. it was super funny. beatrice is so funny.
the instructors gave us lightsticks. i accidentally cracked both of mine while trying to remove the fastener on it. crystal cracked one before i cracked mine and she cracked her other one while pretending to be a drummer with her water bottle. haha. they told us to hide the lightsticks. crystal and i stuck it in our shoe, using our long pants to cover the rest up.
two. i heard really nice ghost stories from kendra on the HSBC treetop walk. really creepy but nice.
three. popular was open and i managed to buy some sweets.
four. it didnt rain.
five. my class had the second best dance. (according to quite a few pple) 208 as usual, had the best dance. i really liked it! it was so so so so so so so nice.
there. i cant find other stuff. during this camp, i realised how talkative priscilla is. she talked non-stop for 4 hours. no kidding. i am truly serious. was quite irritating. :| basically, camp sucked. i appreciate the effort the camp commandants put in but it wasnt what i expected. :P oh yes. they showed some pix and there was one where a table of six girls at the peak performance workshop. i was one of them. guess what they were doing? playing bingo! haha. the workshop was really boring. sigh.
