Sec 2 Ace Camp'09
I had a fun day yesterday and today but I shall update on my camp
I'll most likely update 'bout yesterday and today on another postDay 1[21102009]
the trainers when to school at about 8am or so.
2G had got 6(or more) absentees
-boring things happened in between-
At the campsite, they trainers gave us bread
and Marcus was like giving Mr Chan the whole packet of bread when Mr Chan ask it from him [inside joke]
then we were dispatched to our dorms
2G girls stayed in a dorm that is super near the entrance and we do not have to share dorm and toilet with any other classes :D
and of course, be able to use the gents
after putting the clothes, etc, we had ice-breaking activities
[which is super redundant]
the class is separated into two groups
my group was named GG Phantom
we wanted to name ourselves pumpkin
but we thought "Nah... we want something more exciting"
Then Crissa says Phantom of the Opera or just Phantom
the trainers asked us if we want GG Phantom since the guys wanted to incude GG in the name
after the ice-breaking activity, we had outdoor cooking
so we had instant noodles, sardines, sausages and baked beans
and it taste together :)
there are some people who did not eat their lunch D:
mostly guys yeah?
after lunch, we went rock climbing
and I nearly reached the top of the rock wall
but gave up 'cos I don't feel like continuing =.="
next we went to the challenging rope course
and I love it :D
I did the one with two strings which is suspended in the air and one needs to climb up to cross it
however
there will be a rope hanging you to prevent one from falling
I stopped midway to find an easier way to cross it
then on of the trainers was like
"Eh... Why you stop halfway?"
Me: "My legs very wobbly" -looks down-
Trainer: "straighten your leg lah!"
So I did
I tried towing my foot but it doesn't work
so half of the time up there I was half towing my foot and half trying to do it the traditional way
and when I came down I heard this:
"Eh! Is she wearing track shoes"
and mentally I was =.="
Trainer: "She is wearing running shoes, yeah?" and followed by a "Are you wearing running shoes?"
Me: "yeah..."
Trainer: "why you wear running shoes? Are you in your school's track-and-field team?"
Me: "no"
Trainer: "then why you wear running shoes? I mean all the glittering and flowery here and there..."
Man...
those running shoes are my school shoes, which is like 98%(or so) white
and the only icon there is the adidas logo at the back of my shoe
=.="
ShiHwei did not complete the CRC. She slip and "fell"
Crissa and Shenny did not go across
they had only climb to the platform and come down
and the trainers were making fun of them
there are a lot of inside jokes in the whole process
Shenny was crying when she came down
reason why she was crying: afraid that Stanley will tell the others
=.="
She was actually wanting to say
"I was afraid the guys will tell the others"
HAHA
THEREFORE
Stanley got scolded for nothing and was complaining to me after he got scolded
NEXT, we went for the zip line :D
it was super awesome
before we did the zip line, we saw Lydia crying
ShiHwei and I thought it was because she was afraid of heights but the real reason she cried is because she could not reach the stand
I was one of the last few to do the zip line
At first I was neurotic but when I start to go to the opening, I started to panic
the trainer there is extremely kind
he told me to sit down [and we are suppose to sit at the opening], move slowly to the front, look down and remember to scream
and the next thing we know is, he pushed us down the 6-story high building
and the scariest thing is the line is not in a straight line
it is u-shaped
so it is like going 90 degrees downwards and up again
it is thrilling
REMARKS ON ZIP LINE:
Stanley screamed like a girl
Manoj kept saying it hurts[another inside joke]
Crissa funny when I saw her while it was her turn
Shenny was equally funny
MISS THO WENT FOR THE ZIP LINE :D
-END OF REMARKS-
We had dinner after the zip line
my class when last and the food was surprisingly delicious
better then the usual camp food that is
after dinner we had our night walk
the night walk was super rocky
and I was super irked by Shenny
After the walk we had to stay at a field to "listen to Mother Nature"
Stanley was like complaining about somethings and got frightened by a weed
LOL
after which, we had bath time and lights out
bath time is another irritating time
I got annoyed by Shenny again
Lights off: 0045
Day 2[22102009]
Assemble time: 0630
We had team bonding activities
one of them is called loop the loop
the aim of the game is to pass the loop around the circle we form and not breaking it
-some more activities happening+lunch-
we went to the nature hike after lunch
we have a very lucky nature guide
he gave us lollipop and sweets and tried some berries, flowers and leaves
then we had our campfire preparation, dinner and campfire
Mrs Tan interrupted our skit.
but we had fun
we are suppose to have an hour to do the camp booklet
but we don't have it
so the camp chief said we can have our shower first
therefore we had 2 hours of shower time instead of 1
lights out 0010
Day 1[21102009]
assemble time: 0720
nothing much
the choir girls manage to convince Mr Phoon to let us pon choir
I'll update the SS program tomorrow
we need to do it
before it is too late.
