finally back.

im finally back. whee. finally. back from camp i mean. retreat was fun fun and more fun. =) but i have an aching butt and tired muscles le. never walked soo much so far in my entire life. 4 full hours of walking. walao. damn tired sia. when i reached home after homecoming yesterday [thankfully i dint crash ruoling's room at sheares, or else i think i would have conked out on her bed]. the word conked was in bold, cos it was the six-letter word at the first station for our amazing race behind the underwater world. before i get started on camp, i better reorganise my thoughts, feeling a little hazy woozy now. hee. this must be the results of over sleeping yesterday from 6pm to 9am this morning. yes 16 whole hours i know. my knees hurt now. ow.

met @ harbourfront at about 815am. which was pure torture cos it meant i had to wake up damn early [again]. been waking up damn early for about 2 weeks le and it's damn tiring. yeah. saw my group 5 people there and started talking to them. one girl dint turn up for the whole thing so there was only 5 of us in group 5. bok [qiuli], jj [jiajin], jamie, me and weiming [whom i got to know in CIP already]. and our buddy group was group 6, but i only got to know faye and jialong really well cos they stayed over and the rest dint. their group was even smaller, cos there were only nicole and queen who left early, aside from faye and jialong. our two groups are quite close, and the people are damn nice la. i love my group. grin. then we had morning games [which turned out to be not that dirty after all..] and group 5 found out our forte was actually eating watermelons. grin. cos there was a station eating watermelon [w/o hands and two people must be behind a line] and we won it hands down. of course, with us eating crunchy watermelons. hee. yeah, the rest of the stations were quite fun la. of course we got wet and sandy but not dirty. the games were clean. wahaha. and the forfeits were very clean too. yeaps. unlike the NTU ones. yeah. i hate it when they make people do such dirty idiotic things on purpose. yeah. then we had amzing race which caused our fatigue. very badly. it was fun la, until we got very tired and xian after counting the number of benches at the musical fountain cos it was a forfeit for not guessing the correct suit of the card. if anybody needs the number, it's 854. we got 1389 the first time. acks. then yeah, we walked and walked and walked. and walked and walked. we were so slack we thought we were last la. but surprisingly when we reached our last station, the station master told us we were 8th. for a moment we thought they were kidding us, but we were really 8th. cool sia. wahahaha. yuan's group ran and ran. and they came in 5th. so what a feat for us. wahaha. anyway, we pitched a tent [the first time for me hor!!] and we dint sleep in there. yeah, we dint cos it was too bloody hot in there. we had damn good food for the bbq la, the curry was damn nice and the facils were cooking for us. hee. and we had sotong and stingray for bbq too! yum. im hungry [again]. hahaha. and the dean and profs came down for the bbq too. yeaps. speaking of which, my facil has the voice of daniel one [and he had no idea who daniel ong was cos he listens to class 95. erm okay.]. then we took the monorail for one whole round from palawan back to palawan. haha. we have a fetish for the transport on sentosa, we realised. must be cos we are slackers who refuse to walk or run around the island, hence the constant looking out for transport to bring us about sentosa during our amazing race. then there was the kungfu championships which jialong won but i was away from the crowd cos i was on the phone talking to him mah. haha. hee. then we went to the left twin tower to talk and realised it was a windy nice place to sleep w/o insects too hence the decision to stay there for the entire night. lost 3 threes in the pack of cards jialong brought while playing heart attack and soon after that more groups came along to join us at the twin towers cos it was cooling to sleep mah. but trouble stewed after that. a group of indians came along and set up a party of sorts along the bridge that bridged the two towers. their music was bloody loud it woke those who were sleeping. damn pissed la. and we so wanted to throw things down [but of course we dint. one moment faye wanted to throw her sleeping bag at them but decided they aint worth her nice cushy sleeping bag. haha.] the guys went down to talk to them and one of the indian guys was a ranger and claimed they did that every weekend. erm okay. like i believe that but he did show them his credentials so i cant say anything la. so we talked abit more and huiling came to join us in talking and our conversation topics were so diverse. it ranged from movies, to kerry vs bush, to school life, then to music. and finally when we couldnt stand the music [aka a skipping shake your bonbon track] we went back to mainland to eat cup noodles and played bridge at the mainland. and we could actually still hear the bloody indians shouting and their irritating music. walau i felt like smashing their player la. sheesh. then i talked to jialong and huiling after faye and jamie went back to sleep and huiling started questioning me about him. haha. guess jialong felt a little awkward so he went back to the tower to sleep too. and i fell asleep at around 6am in the morning at the table with huiling looking after me. *mummy* haha. poor girl, sick throughout the entire camp. and meanwhile throughout the entire night, alot of people just zao-ed. as in left camp and dint come back. by the next morning, there was prolly about 60 freshies left. damn sad la. it's damn irresponsible to just leave like that when the comn had planned games for us the next morning. i.e. the captain papaya game. though we dint get to play that cos of the heavy downpour, still the actions of them leaving aint nice lor. like yeah. just plain not nice to me. oh wells. then we spent some time playing heart attack at the back of the monorail station where we were trying to escape from the rain and when jeremy said we could leave, we [i.e.group 5 and 6] just grabbed our bags, climbed over the brown 'fences' and chiong-ed into the monorail, 3 of them managed to get into the monorail safely, while i had one leg and my bag in the monorail, the small door closed on me, leaving my leg hanging outside and it 'kiaped' my thigh. ow. so i just swung my leg in when the monorail was moving already. faye had a tougher time. the door closed when she was right outside, so she threw her bag in, and climbed in over the small door. when the monorail was moving off. exciting sia. haha. yeah and the camp ended like that.

i made my way back to hwachong for homecoming immed after my camp and yeah i was lugging a heavy bag around. glad i went back cos i saw friends, roo and tim. yeaps. havent seen tim for ages and we played bridge too! whee. thanks to wendy who sold me her carnival tee [it's bright orange so its like damn nice la.] and yeah, talked to ms ng and rudy lee and took pictures with them [i bet i look damn haggard cos i was sooo tired] too. yeaps. saw plenty of familar faces. spent alot of money and yeah, all in all had fun la i suppose. wanted to go down to sheares hall after that to see ruoling's room but couldnt tahan the tiredness so went home instead. and had a nice chat with xinxin along the way.


still feeling tired. yawn.
