WOOtz, i'm back to blog..Sorry to keep you guys waiting.. was kinda busy and didnt have the time to post recently.. :P
Orite... on 12 may 2005, i set out early in the morning juz before dawn break to meet up with ct in the pouring rain.. We had break fast at the kopi tiam and then took the Lrt to meet up with jie min at bukit batok mrt station...there were some minor hiccups wen jm decides not to board the mrt we were on.. ~ hur hur, so we waited for her at the jurong east interchange..From there we set off to Sp to meet up with The rest of the campers. We found our way to the meeting place and were surprised tht we were still quite early.. Alot of ppl had not arrived yet.. We played abit of ice breakers game again before boarding the buses which would go to sentosa island's port..
We sat the ferry from sentosa port to kusu island and to saint john island.. The one hour ferry ride was filled with much enthuism as the Group leaders(GL) and group adminstrators(Ga) sang songs and played games on board of the ferry.. i made a friend named mei fang.. and she happened to be in business it too.. quite cool..
Upon stepping onto saint john's island , i got tis strange feeling of utopia... The island itself looks much like a paradise hide out for city dwellers.. Juz across the other bank is the Central distric buildings.. The scenery was simply splendid. After taking a few group photos at the jetty we moved on to the camp site ... We went into the multi purpose hall where every of the GA and GL and intensive moving Unit(IMU) introduced themself.. ALl of the campers too introduced them self... Den Heyi the camp chief announced for us to move onto our groups.. The crowd was distributed into 4 groups namely great white , sword fish , sting ray and blue whale.. Ct got into The group great white while i and jm was lucky to be in the same group in blue whale.After every one got into their own groups, we were given a white cloth and a wooden pole and some colouring materials and we were told to design our mascot for our group.. For blue whale.. our mascot design was a unique one.. with our names outlining the shape of a baby whale.. and a red badana tieing on the fore head of the whale indicating "bi Shen"....while some of the ppl spent their time designing the mascot.. the rest of the group members were tinking of cheers to go with for the group.. We decided on a cheer to present which had a tune of the song.. "twinkle twinkle little star" With much creativity the group had changed the song into a cheer for blue whale..
After the presentations of the cheers and mascot we proceed on to learn the camp songs Cadc had prepared for us...There were alot of dancing singing and action making.. After all tht , we felt hungry and all.. we were treated to a sumptous meal prepared by the cook.. how ever the food aint appealing to most ppl though.... in fact, its quite a toture eating them up.. how ever , as we were already starving we had to do nth but to accept our fate.
That night ... we went on a treasure hunt.. it started with a story plot ,where bye... a knight was walking lovingly with his princess.. but outta the sudden The evil knight, came and snatched the princess away.. but of course..the knight put up with a fight with the evil knight...how ever... he was defeated wen the evil knight knocked him out.. he layed there unconsiously.. Prophecy holds that it is us... the four fishes , one of us.. will find the potion to revive the knight and help save the princess from the evil knight's dungeon. So, we were given scrolls and maps on wear and how we are gonna locate the potion.. WE had to visit different characters all around saint john island.. TIs characters are ghouls which lingered after being mercilessly killed by the evil knight.. we muz appeal the ghouls in order for them to lead us to the next station which would bring us closer and closer to the potion.. The sight of the ghouls which was dressed up by fellow GAs and GLS was gustly and horendous.They instilled shivers down our spines as we approacched them one by one.Soon we found the potion and i was the one to give the potion to the priest ... The priest then leaded us back to the spot where the knight laid fallen....The priest.. den instructed me.... to pass the potion to the knight.. Revived.. the knight hollered for the evil knight.. as both eyes met.. they had once a fnal boutz... tis time.. both of them fallen... The evil knight was slained.. by the knigh.however the knight is too weak to move.. thus the knight intructed for me again~ to go save the princess... Wondering why its always me.. i went to open the dungeon doors.. and Hell broke loose wen the princess grabbed me.. jumped on me and kiss me on the fore head with a big thk u ..~~~ and yea.. the princess is played by a guy... ~~I was taken aback obviously stunned and too shock for words..
I spent the rest of my night dazing..... till we bunk in and fell asleep....
I woke up, by the mur murs coming from the bois who woke up earlier den me.... Den me Justin yong quan and wee siang we all went to the bath room to have a early bath..AS the icely water sprinkled on my skin.. i almost jumped out.. but i tink i was too tired to jump ler.. I juz got wide awake .. After that we proceeded on to the MPH where we were told to change into our pt kits and we proceeded for a slow jog to the basket ball court at saint john island.. Wheere we did some stretching and played some games... In one of the games.. Ct got forfeited along with 3 other campers.. he was supposed to put his nose onto the ear of a gal.. lol.. It was quite amusing..
AFter the games.. we went back to the mph and proceeded to have our break fast which consist of a piece of bread and some milo..ok i didnt got to drink the milo... er erd.. we went back to the mph again for more singing...and we had our lunch.. den we proceeded out to the out doors to play the out door games... In tis one particular game.. we were suppposed to do a telematch...On one of the stages.. we are supposed to slide across tis large canvas sheet which had oil and water spilled on it.. IT was quite fun and indeed hilarious .... After tht we went to the beach where we had more games.. Poor justin had his body covered with shaving cream and we are supposed to squirt it off using the water we collected from squeezing water from a sponge into a water gun... lol.. WE had lotsa fun.....after returning all muddied and oily we had quite a tough time cleaning up and the bath room had a long que...
AFter cleaning up we had dinner... again the food wasnt appealing... its simply disgusting...
After dinner we played some games on our on wen heyi suddenly alerted us tht some one was murdered... Ok, Its part of the game which we are gonna participate in later on... We are supposed to help with the investigation.. we were bought by heyi to the crime scene where we were supposed to take a clear look at all the evidence left behind.. then we were given a list of suspects and characters.. after discussions.. we proceeded on to question every character... after summarizing every one.. we came to the conclusion that the maid was the killer.. the time for us to give our thesis was up so each of the groups sent one representative to present the teams ans.. but in the end... all team had not got the ans.. lol...
AFter tht we bunk in again...
I woke up.. quite late the next day... but i still went for a morning shower .... it was raiing so we had to do our morning excersize and games in the mph... after tht we had our break fast.. we came back den to play a games which required us to stand inside square boxes with numbers in it.. hur hur.. every one was like squeezing.. lucky i was tall enuff got fresh air to breath at a higher altitude.. Lol , after tht we had a beauty paegent.. hur hur, but its kinda gay wen the girl dresses up as the Mr saint john and the guy dresses up as the Miss saint john.. Omg... u shud had seen how we made use of baloons for artificial breasts...~
AFter all tht was over.. we went to the out doors Again~! Tis time we played dodge ball.. Er erd... There was quite a heated competition but i guess tings cooled and every one was friends again ... peace out~ We den played a game which is similar to scissors paper and stone.. but tis time.. every one muz be coordinated and every one is supposed to show the similar sign to the opposite team and vice versa.. the winning team will get water bombs to smash the losing team.. lol..we all got wet in the end... and we went back to the camp site again to change into dry clothes..den.. we ate our LUnch.. which is at around 5 ... lol...
After lunch.. we got our camp tees and we proceeded on to the beach where the camp fire was set up and was ready to be lit up, after much tok.. heyi the camp chief lit the campfire and we begin singing and singing under the starry skies with the company of the acoustic guitars.. but eh skies was kinda covered with clouds and then it begin to rain.. and tehre was tunder and lighting ... We began to run back for shelter at the camp... staying low.... apparently... the whole island had a short circuit and the powers were shutoff.... we waited anxiously in the bois bunk.. To relive the tension,... a few of us begin to tok about lame jokes... er erd.. with the around.. every one was relived.. after a while...we were told to move to the mph where a buffet spread was laid there waiting for us....... for the first time in my life.. i tot i'ld cry seeing so much ... 'decent food' its like.. we 've been eating ~~~~~ for the past few days... every one was enthuisastic...The buffet spread was supposed to be companied with a disco ... but since the power was down.. we had to make do with torch lights.. lol.. But soon... the power cameback again and every one was cheering and all.. kudos to the ppl who got the power back. We den begin to party through the night.. dancing and all..the groups also acted out a skit each... and each of them also sang songs... in groups.. which provide much entertainment...I nvr remember me jumping so much before till that night... Every one was quite high in the blast of the music and dance beats.
WE den settled down... and waited for dawn.. dawn at saint john carried an ambience i've not experience before.. it was quite.. nice..I could hardly keep my eyes open then thuogh.. very tired.. After we washed up in the morning... we were distributed to different sections where by we were supposed to go clean up the camp site... AFter mcuh cleaning here and there..we had our break fast and we wrote down our contacts on a piece of paper where it will be photo copied and given to each of us.. with tht all done.. we carried our luggage and headed for the port again.. ready for departure.. at the port.. we took a few photos as we waited for the ferries to come.. with much waiting the ferry finally came...we reached sentosa island where i treated myself to a large cup of sprite from BK ... hur hur... it was heavenly.. lol.. We den boarded the bus back to sp where we waited for the rest of the groups to arrive....
AFter the rest of teh groups arrived.. we had a short debrief and den the camp was declared over by Heyi.... AFter the 4 day 3 nights saga.. every one was indeed dead beat...
I jm and ct den tooked the cab back home...
In conclusion.. i feel very impressed that tis camp was organized by solely yaer 1 students and the games they playd were interesting as we've not played them before and the scale of the production of tis camp was marverllous... to wrap it up... The camp is indeed very fun packed and it will be an unforgettable experience...
