wai-el-tee-see;and whoa it's been 2 wks since i blogged!
kayyy, onto yltc.
its gonna be one loooong post.
day 1:
we met at the parade square and had our briefing and icebreakers, quite fun leh actually;
this ask qns M&M game, human bingo, and some other game where we hadta listen to ppl's voice to form shapes while holding hands.
and i started out not really knowing anyone from my group other than amanda frm track, but we rock yo.
owned the groups in outdoor cooking and rafting when our raft was absolute SHIT somemore, HAHA ;D
aanyway.
land expedition!
this crazy round the island expedition from the reservoir near yishun/khatib MRT (cant rmb which one it was) to chinese gardens, to vivo, to east coast park.
so yea, after getting frm one station to the other we hadta walk about 5k from the middle part of ECP to the end of it, near changi airport there.
reached and ate dinner, changed for night cycling and ohmytian it was so daaaammn fun.
hahaaa at least for me la, first time wad!
cycled frm ecp to bedok reservoir to around bedok changi siglap area, woww was damn nice la...
like so many empty areas where you can just chiong, and i've never went to those areas of the east before, coooolio.
can see why paul goes crazy over it.
came back to my bunk kinda tired with an aching ass, but it sure was nice.
day 2:
first thing in the morning: PT.
jumping jacks, 100 counts of 8 along with some other stuff;
piang eh now i'm scared of jumping jacks -.-
but overall it wasn't too horrible?
like kinda tolerable, not until you wan die but not slack until you'd just cruise through it.
so today was sea expedition I, kayakinggg.
nowhere nearly as far as OBS' sea expedition, its pretty much under 20km i'd say, only kayaked to near bedok jetty there and back.
but still ended up super burnt, which is nice!
i love my tan.
finished sea ex I, and had leadership talk which i thought was the most leadership-ly beneficial thing in the whole camp other than learning on the way frm all the activities;
the speakers and the activities were seeeriously good leh,
gotta try them in shooting camp next time.
day 3:
sea ex II!
dragonboating and rafting, did stuff like singing inilah and tons of songs while tying our raft which got stolen by another team -.-
ok it's like this,
we did our raft until it was pretty much quite good then the instructors said we had to change with the group next to us which wasn't building a raft more than they were building a submarine.
so we swapped our damn nice raft with another group, (group 8) and we got group 6's submarine -.-
BUT!
the irony man, group 8's raft looked the best and ours looked the worst but we got 1st and they got last.
LOL.
life is fair ;D
outdoor cooking at nite, and even though we got 2nd and our food sure looked great i think it was contaminated or sth cos i felt abit nauseous on day 4 and 5 o.O
and after that we had alumni talk which was SHIT.
daaamn, no offence to the alumnis who took out their time to come all the way to changi to talk to us for an hour but i totally din get the link between what they were talking about and how it linked to leadership ._.
day 4:
high ropes course and that's pretty much it, kinda repeated stuff from pri 5 camp, SPARKC, sec 2 camp and OBS.
the campfire was kinda nice, saw the other groups skits and some were really funny while others were, um. plain un-understandable.
sian larh, i think i didnt bang the dustbin lid hard enough so the bollywood tune wasnt really audible so ppl ended up not understanding why the hell we suddenly zi-high and danced like siao during our skit.
couldnt really cheer/shout cos my voice went to hell from the 3rd day onwards, sounded like a wounded cow -.-
day 5:
damn, they woke us up at 3am for the final challenge (run/walk 10k to near the 360ski thingy and come back with your team flag), and like even though we went from 2nd to 6th cos we had casualties and stuff its cool, we still finished the whole thing as a team ;D
cheered alot and sang stuff along the way back, laxingg.
went back to NJ after cleanup and bussed home, stopped at wm for SUBWAY!
subway tastes like heaven after bein so tired.
amazingly, din KO once i reached home cos i really wanted to use the comp and check emails, etc.
finished!
training camp frm 24th to 28th, standard chartered frm 28th to 1st, shooting chalet frm 1st to 4th.
God help me.
world of my own    5:15 AM
