Finally back from the camp. Extremely tired. Lol. Was fun but it had its ups and downs too...3 day blog so this'll be a little long.
Day 1
Bright and sunny, seems great for a camp.

First came all the settling of the admin stuff then icebreakers which was I was supposed to handle. =S First time ma. Lol. Not too bad but could be better. After that came CSI.
Sitting there outside the photography room with people looking at me and all, with it being an extremely hot day.

After that came dinner and an extremely wonderful bath because I was totally drenched from sitting in that corner all day. I was reminded of the push button baths as described by Jeffrey Archer in his prison diaries. He managed to master the art of pressing the button before the water cut off to ensure a continous stream of icy water. Haha.

And I present to you, my bedroom! I was the bunk IC of F3-5. Under my "rule", I witnessed interesting activities that reminded me of Oceans' Eleven or Prison Break.


Day 2
PT in the morning. MMM day. Meridian Magnificent Marathon: The Quest. Indeed an interesting quest. I believe I was in water longer than Wet 'n' Wild day, and was definitely one of the soggiest, depressing and tiring days of the camp. =[


First of all weather was freaky, which was the worst-case scenario of the marathon. Alternate rain in different parts. So...some, I think lowlights is more appropriate:


Long distances covered on routes


Impossible tasks e.g.
Running from one end of a HDB block to another
Getting a girl to pick out 10 mealworms one by one
Someone drinking from a milk bottle till the water within hits the 50ml mark
(without removing the bottle from his mouth)
Laying 3 metres (exact) of bee hoon
Eating half a loaf of bread
All to be completed in 1min42secs o_O
Best of all, when everything is done, you must draw a card from a deck and the game IC too. Bigger no. wins. If you lose, REDO everything. I dunno how this proposal got through.


Cause of the weather, we were told to carry on in the drizzle. Then, we got caught in the rain in the middle of the flyover. =) So we made for the nearest shelter, which was...a tree. Such a tough death or death decision. Struck by lighting on the flyover or crushed by a falling tree. Hmm...in the end we gave up and walked in the rain to this ulu station. A dilapidated old pavilion. In the midst of...

Then it rained madly, so all of us were stuck in this pavilion for a real long time with nothing to do.And then the ants decided to move house.

Then we trudged for hours in the rain, wandering through HDB estates I have never set my eyes on ever in my entire life. Our hair kept getting periodical rinsings by sky juice, and my legs were burning. We were so wet we didn't even care. Then later it was stifling hot. =.=


Later on, campfire cheer session was fun though. =]


Day 3
MUCH more fun than Day 2. Some funny stations involving the using up of a single bar of soap as fast as possible and flour. Overall was pretty ok apart from the fact that we never completed all the stations due to lack of time. Admin stuff later before leaving.

Finally. Some R and R. Not. Went for pool later with Sixu, YM, and Shawn. Was half sleeping on the bus. Lol. Then for dinner before going home. Gonna go out again. Happy Feet. Though I don't think my feet are going to be happy with all the walking I did these days.

Sixu bears a strange resemblance to L here. =S
