Clementi Woods, OIIII!!
13.2.08
ZOMG! i got so much to say about camp, i don't think i can even blog about everything! gosh! it was super fun! i never really thought that it would be this fun. at first, very sian la. not very enthusiastic cos in our group are all from different classes so we just stick to our classmates and not really participate. but in the end, we all got together! it was really super cool! the insturctors were fun! our groups were fun! our bunk-mates were fun! haha. get ready for a really, really long post. :)

got to clementi mrt station later than expected. i saw seong eun and lellel waiting for me. haha. gosh, i was like, super late. :( sorry for making u guys wait. :( *hugs* anyhoo, after that we took a cab to school then lined up quick. after flag ceremony, we got to see chief kent again plus the instructors. then we got told our groups the got split-up.
here's my group:

  • me! :)
  • lellel
  • liyan
  • syarifah
  • chloe
  • carynna(?)
  • wai yan
  • terrence
  • lwin fong(?)
  • cooper
  • samuel
  • matthew
  • raj (dunno full name eh. LOL. sorry.)
  • iswan(?)
  • piranesh
  • chandra(?)
  • avery
  • khoi
yay! i remembered everyone's name! just not sure how to spell it. LOL. anyways, we're with this super cool instructor, Jaclyn! everybody give her one sexy-clap! LOL. so yeah, then go to the campsite by bus and kept our stuff in our designated cabins(?). after that got briefed about things and rules about the camp. then we got to know the people in our groups and we had to pick a group name and design a flag. we name our group the SEXY-SIX!! LOL. cos we were group six. then there were 18 of us, so like, 666. only that would be weird so they changed it to SEXY-SIX! LOL.

after that we did some low elements/general stations like the rope swing thingie. LOL. it looks so easy but i couldn't step on it with one foot and leave my other foot dangling! LOL. it keeps retracting to the ground! hahas. i'm the only one who didn't get to the platform, but it was fun trying anyway. LOL. next is the pole and tire thing. we were supposed to take off and put back the oh-so heavy tires from the pole using teamwork so we just made kinda like a pyramid thing to take off and put back the tires. then after that, we went to this like, platform thing. where our group had to all get on the platform and not fall off. hahas. the girls so easy one cos there were only 6 of us. and the rest of the boys were all squeezing in. LOL. but we all still managed to climb on top and sing the school song. LOL. after that we had to go to the wall. it was this wall (duh) where were supposed to use teamwork, again, to climb the wall. so wai yan and piranesh were the "stairs". LOL. so we all step on them then some people just pull the person going up. LOL. sorry wai yan & nesh! :P thanks too! :)

after the low elements, we had lunch then a quick break to get changed into our track pants. ZOMG. it was the start of the high elements. first we did was the CRC rope thingie. gosh! LOL. super scary eh! my stomach got butterflies. urgh. i still shiver whenever i think about it. *shivers*. anyhoo, i was one of the last people who did it. while waiting i was just cheering for people and just sitting there and helping people with their harnesses. then my turn i climb the post rite. then i got to the platform, i just stood there. LOL. i damn scared of heights eh. like gosh. i think i was one of the longest lor. one hour! hahas. i use up 30 minutes just standing there at the platform trying to grab the rope. HAHA. :P then everyone was like, "GO LIZA!" while i just stood there whinning like a sissy. LOL. embarassing luh, but i don't really care much about that. haha. so yeah, then i was still on the platform rite, then teacher kept taking a video of me just screaming and shouting there like mad! i really couldn't lift up my left foot even though i'm already holding on to my rope and stepping on the wire, so i went like, "i can't lift my leg eh! Seriously, i can't!". then they all were cheering me (some mockingly, but it was still pretty encouraging. LOL) on. even waiyan was like, "don't worry lah! i'll catch you!" which made me laugh inspite of everything going on. LOL. plus i couldn't slide cos my shoe got rims at the middle. LOL. anyhoo, about 20 minutes later, this Jason instructor guy came up and shouted at me to just go and follow what he says so i shout back.

Liza: I can't move my leg. Seriously, I can't!
Jason: who says you can't do it?
Liza: me.
Jason: who are you to say you can't do it?
Liza: cos i'm the person who's doing it!
LOL. seriously i shout back at him lor! didn't care whether he's instructor or not. hahas. this is how errr, feirce i can get under intense pressure. ZOMG LOL. then he pull back my safety rope 'till i was almost hanging off my harness then he told me to move. ofcors i cannot la! so he put looser, then finally i can move! hahas. i just stood there and shook and hold on to the rope. HAHA. then i take baby side-steps to the other side of the post clutching on to the rope for my dear, fragile life. :) finally after almost an hour i got to the other side! yay, me! LOL. i can't believe i've done it! HAHA! booya! LOL. some, like avery & khoi, got pissed cos i wasted too much time. sorry. :( really, i am. i really didn't mean to take up so much time, i just really can't do it. also, thanks for still encouraging me even though i took up a lot of time. after me was chloe, then i was like, "wah.. so fast sia." LOL. then after that was wai yan. LOL. he was like, imitating me by going, "i can't move my leg". LOL. he damn fast eh! LOL. he got super long arms and legs luh. haha. then about halfway through, he was like, "wah, the scenery so nice eh." then piranesh was below then he heard wai yan and said, "maybe that's why Liza stay there for so long". then i was like, ZOMG LOL. they were making fun of me but it was funny. LOL. i don't mind la, actually. LOL. i just go, "so bad sia". haha.

after everyone did the CRC, we got the chance to finally bathe. and all the girls say? AMEN! LOL. i really wanted to bathe so bad. then you know, the shower rite? SUPER COLD! no heater! :( like, duh. we're at camp. haha. but it's still super cold. then after that rite, did some other activities, then ate dinner. gosh. the water we cleaned our dishes with was damn dirty eh! the soap all diluted. ick! but still no choice. :( so i just wash thoroughly using the clean water by the tap so at least clean better. after eating was singing session! LOL. it was very fun! especially with Jeremy HIH-HOH-HEH and Calvin act-cute. LOL. we sang a lot of stuff and did a lot of claps. LOL.

after some song session, it was announced that one of our team-mates is missing. indeed, piranesh was. LOL. we were now playing kidnap! LOL. we had to solve this puzzle while 4 people go look for piranesh. it was some simple puzzles that just needed a bit of thinking. after 3 tries, i found the way! haha. then it was correct! ZOMG. LOL. so we handed up the puzzle then waited for the search party to come back. they didn't found nesh. :( so we had to do activities to get 3 keys to free and find piranesh. we did like, A LOT of things before we even got near to getting the 3 keys, but we did make it! haha. so after that we had to go look for nesh, who was so cleverly hidden behind a plank of wood at the dark corner. wah. then the guys had to carry him back and his pants kept falling! ZOMG. hahahhahaha. *ehem* anyhoo, after that had to rush back to the MPH and had to do a cheer. so i leaded a cheer then just did the "repeat after me" thing. then we were 3rd!! haha. even if we didn't get first it was still ok. haha. very fun. :) after that had to brush teeth and wash up. then went to sleep. :)

2nd day had to wake up early lor, cos our group had duty. so yah, liyan woke me up at about 5 or so. then we went to wash-up and brush teeth at the toilet. after that we woke other people up and got changed then reported to the MPH hall, but turns out we were too early! LOL. so our group and some other just hung-out at the carpark while waiting. some instructors finally woke up and lead us to do this morning excercise thing where we say a part of our body then we were supposed to hit it on the floor!

here at jahlan bahtera(?)!
we do it with our heads!
finger, finger, finger!
palm, palm, palm!
shoulder, shoulder, shoulder!
hip, hip, hip!
butt, butt, butt!
knees, knees, knees!
head, head, head!
haha. so funny lor! then after that, our group was excused from the rest of the excercise as we had to prepare to do our canteen duty, which is to serve food to the people. LOL. half of the group, ate first while the other half served food. when we were done we exchanged tasks, but in the end didn't really got to do anything cos there wasn't any stations left. :(

after that we had to go to another high element station, which was the abseiling. ZOMG. hahahaha. i cried while doing this. LOL. thinking about it, it was stupid. LOL. i really wanted to just do it and get it over with but my body just doesn't let me to. :( but i still got to do it! HAHA. :P i got up, then i was like, ZOMG NOOOO!! then that JASON guy was the one who got in charge of me lor! so bad sia! like, why do i have to get stuck with the grouchy one?! but he was actually kinda nice. he just calmed me down and stuff, but i still ended up crying. LOL. then i was like, "i wanna go down". then he was like, "ok, calm down. just follow what i say. if you can't do it, then i'll let you down the stairs". so i did what he said, but i really can't squat down cos my legs and arms all cramping already. so he kept saying like, "ok, let's try one final time. if you can't do it, then i'll let you down the stairs" but i try like a million times already, he still haven't let me down the stairs! then one final time, i did what he said, then he pushed me! then i was like screaming, "ZOMG! mummie!!! i wanna go home!!" and it was for real. LOL. i was practically hyperventilating while going down, and i couldn't hold on to my rope properly because of the gloves! so when i got down, i was like, "get this thing off me! get it off me!" then i stormed off. then the Jason guy was like, "are you ok?" then i shouted back, "no! i'm not ok! do i look ok?! no i'm not!" kinda rudely. LOL. well, you can't actually blame me! LOL. ZOMG. i sound so unpolite and stupid. :( i'm sorry for shouting back. :(

anyhoo, after that was the flying fox. ZOMG! you don't even have to ask me twice. duh, i wanna go! LOL. well, actually i asked people first if i should go, then they were like, yeah cos if you don't you'll be thinking about it so much and you'll regret it. so i did. haha. and i didn't regret going! ZOMG! it was sooo fun! i wanna go again! ok, fine. it hurt a bit cos of the harness but it was still very fun! ZOMG. it's the only high element station that i like! :)

after that, had to go eat lunch. then change into our dark shirt and shorts. then we had to wait before going for the nature rumble. while waiting, we thought about what we should do for the campfire performance. at first, we thought about doing this american idol thing. then next is a skit about camp where we all acted very sian. LOL. so we all planned about it then had to go for the nature rumble. we walked to the jungle-ish place and had to walk to the end and then walk back out again. so sad, we didn't get to the mud pool. :( i was actually looking forward to that. so sad lor. :(

anyhoo, we went to the kayaking area to, yep you know it! go kayaking! hahas. surprise surprise! it was actually very fun lor, but very tiring. lellel was my partner and we kept paddling around in circles cos we couldn't keep hold to the kayak beside us and we kept drifting apart. after all the kayaks got together, we had to stand up on the kayak. LOL. lellel and me kept screaming like dunno wad! LOL. i kept screaming cos the kayak kept shaking and bumping into the next kayak. lellel was screaming cos she was scared that i might tip us off. LOL. it was funny and stupid at the same time. and it took me awfully long to stand up and sit down. HAHA. so we had to do the kallang wave(?). LOL. so funny sia, but so hard not to tip off. LOL. after that we had to sing the Singapore national anthem, only there were a lot of non-singaporeans so the song wasn't loud enough cos we didn't know the lyrics to the song. so we sang the school song instead! HAHA. so stupid sia! LOL. after singing for dunno how many time, we did a final sit-down kallang wave. haha. then kayak-ed back to shore and had to wash up the kayaks and paddles and stuff. :)

after that, we had time to shower and get changed before dinner. after having dinner, we sat down at the MPH for a song time before going to the campfire area. ZOMG! the campfire was so much fun! :) our group wasn't very enthu anymore cos they were all saving energy to shout for our performance, but i kept like, shouting like mad! LOL. i can't remember all the performances anymore but i do remember seong eun's one! ZOMG. the girl dances like she has no bones! so freakingly scary and oh-so amazing at the same time! i was like, blown away!!! she never said that she could dance or anything. she doesn't even want to do presentations! she just sits there staring at plain oblivion. LOL. kidding. but i never really saw her dance! everyone was so shocked! LOL. so good sia. haha. anyhoo, our group was the last to present. we didn't get to do the skit after all. :( cos we didn't get to plan properly. so we did the line dance(?) instead! hahaha.. the people who can't do the line dance just went round and round. LOL. raj was supposed to break dance or do a shuffle or something but i dunno what happened. :( so after the crappy presentaion, we did our super loud cheer! :)

yay! haha. after the campfire, we just washed up a bit and slept. haha. i was soooo tired lor! LOL. the next morning, we washed up and gathered at the car park again. as our flag was stolen during kayaking, which was not fair cos we couldn't possibly bring the flag with us while kayaking, we had to clean up the toilets! LOL. it was fun though, we got to soak jaclyn. but she also tried to soak us back. LOL. didn't work. hahaha. but me and liyan still got wet cos we purposely asked to get wet. LOL. after that, got changed to dry clothes and said our goodbyes to the instructors and all the people and took the bus to school. then we just all broke up. :(

i miss camp. :(
