I'M BACK! WHEEEHEEE!camp has been :
disgusting
horrifying
and
totally fun!! (:
okay not totally, but it was still fun. here's a either brief of detailed account of it i'm not sure which.
conditions there
the dorms.. in particular mine, had holes in the roof, one pathetic light bulb to share between aboput 20 people, 2 veryvery cold fans and a toliet which consisted of 3showers and 1toliet. one of the shower doors kinda collasped, and one had a toad and a huge lizard in it. i did not see it myself cos i never stepped 3steps away from the door. haha. and one was apparently in working order. but i think later on another toad came in so yeah.. the toliet was one of the much avoided places in camp. the toliet, was just one hole.. and a bucket and a scoop to pour water down the hole.. and it was all clogged up. i managed to keep it to me visiting the toliet twice a day. hahahaha. i feel so proud of myself. but then again i don't usually go toliet very often.
the beds.. were just 4platforms with several veryvery old mattresses. it was so ew lah... and since i didn't bring my sleeping bag, i put this blanket as my so called bedsheet. and my bag was my pillow. haha. at night, its super cold. i don't know why. ah but it was freezing.. and you don't wanna get out of bed in the morning.
the canteen, had swarms and swarms of flies. disgusting okay. like the net you put over the food, you have to chase away at least like 10 of the flies on it before you can remove it. and someone had to consistenly wave her hand among the food. argh. and the food aren't that great either.
supper's the best :D and the best drink was like milo la. the rest were like what, syrup with diff colourings each day.
activites
activites was very fun! except the SWAMP & the tunnel. tunnel was so freaky okay.. we were all paranoid inside there.. and we were screaming and screaming, esp wanjin. haha.
the swamp was... lets just put it as that i came out tramautised. very. hahaha. the water stinked like shit, and the moment you go in EVERYTHING goes into you shoes. and then at this part you have to close your eyes, dig deep down in the ground for mud. and have a mud fight. i was kinda hiding behind lesley so i didn't get the mud and all too badly. poor caroline. she was quite okay in the beginning then they realised she was clean and then they started throwing at her. suyi and heidi. tsktsk. shirts were brown until you couldn't even see the words on the shirt. ears also have mud. cos other groups went with us, there were terrified screams behind us. so scary. and our group is so evil man.. like we cleared the way for the other groups to pass us first and when they passed us they started throwing mud at them. heeheehee. and when we went back to the camp site we started hugging people. haha. then one of the trainers ran away when she saw us. we ask her why she run away she said 'scared' HAHA!
waterfall expedition
LEECHES was the word said the most during the expedition. so many screams.. esp from nicole's group cos there were people like xueqi and sarah in the group. haha. paranoid people. see ants also scream like its a cockroach. hahaha. i didn't get a leech bite thank goodness. but giselle got it and her wound wouldn't stop bleeding. until like in the evening she went to find the trainers then they put a gauze for her. i got many sandfly and mosquitoe bites eeeyer. and it itches a whole lot. the last part was cool though. the waterfall water was so cold, but very fun! and the last part we had to climb rocks.. and it was really slippery. i slipped a few times haha.
night trek
wow it was quite freaky. we had to hold on to a CABLE. cable okay. not a ROPE. and hold on to your friend's shoulder too. and we did it in darkness. however our batch was quite lucky cos we had the moon with us on our night, but the other batch didn't.. and it was really dark for them.
campfire! (:
that. was super duper fun. the fire was awesome and cool. and finally i get to see a REAL hot burning fire. wheeeeeeee. the teachers were funnyfunnyfunny. and so were the trainers! it was the best night of all. :D
oh oh. there's this reallyreallyREALLY funny song i learnt at camp.. also with other very cute and funny songs.
