Ok I'm back from my camp so I'll just update about it.WARNING!LONG POST AHEAD WITH PICTURES!!!
Booked in on Sunday afternoon.Met up with KinKwok and we took 174 to school.It was raining before we reached.We ran like 2 crazy guys to the back gate of the school and found out that the back gate is locked and we have to go through the front gate which means 1 big round of running again.We were already drenched at the back gate and we still have to run all the way to the front gate.But in anyways we still manage to get into the school,drenched all over though.They discussed about our SL perfomance for the talentime night.It was done pretty fast and I make friends with most of the SLs very fast.If I don't remember wrongly,we had our free time at 10.30pm.We went to bath and hang around a bit with the other SLs.Every one of them were very friendly.Slept kinda late that day.
Woke up very early next morning to welcome the freshies and I was woken up not by the CCs but KinKwok's snore.I was surprised alot of the SLs were already up.I went to inquire bout why did they wake up so early and most of them said that they couldn't sleep.Went for our breakfast and had our faces painted.I didn't want to paint at first then Jerome(one of the CCs)came and draw my face.He drew me like a cat,very sadly.Went to LT28 to welcome the freshies.A few of them arrive kinda early that day but most of the freshies were more on time.Had a briefing with the CCs and we went back to Childcare Centre(CCC) for their checking in and ice breaking games.At first,the group wasn't all that enthusiastic bout it.But they slowly cleared up through the ice breaking games and we got to know every one of their names although we couldn't really remember all at that time.2 of my freshies are very enthusiastic and thanks to them,they liven up my group!That would be Tiong Yi(TY) and Ram!Later we went for lunch and were asked to come up with a group name and group cheers.We decided on Whiskey as our group name.A few of them contributed some cheers and led them on.Thanks to Hazman for the first cheer and TY for coming up with the rest!The group by that time was the highest,and they really cheered for our cheers.We brought them on for the campus discovery.A few hours walk around the campus explaining what and where is this.Very tiring I would say.Even the freshies were down.After that was our dinner.They played the amazing race around the school and they really ran for the games.I didn't get to run with them because I was asked to station one of the games.Sorry bout that Whiskeys.The reason they ran very hard was for the bidding of supper later using rubber bands they won through completing the games.After the games,they went to LT73 and bid for supper.Very exciting but in the end we still shared the prizes among everyone else.They complained about that though because they really thought they would win something through completing those games.We brought them back to CCC after supper and gave them the permission for their Own Time Own Target(OTOT) time.I remembered that day we slept kinda late.Woke up for the second day and found my face drawn during my sleep.I didn't notice it because I was too dead for that day.Washed up and it was breakfast time.Our group did some wrong stuff but actually it wasn't too much of a problem.We bought eggs on our own money for our group but that made our groups say that its so unfair because they didn't get to buy eggs.Had some time to discuss the skit performance after the breakfast before they proceeded to Kismis field for the games.Our section played the Sperm and Egg game first.Kinda interesting and my group had fun so it was cool.The next game was Captain Fruit(Captain Ball except playing with fruits).We played this game in the field with all the mud.I wasn't that into dirty games at first and that I apologise for the lack of sportsmanship.I didn't play Caterpillar Soccer which was the next game and was the truly dirty one.They sat on the mud and crawled around trying to score against the other teams.I went to buy lunch for my group but in the end I still called for 2 of my group members for help because there was too many plastic bags I have to handle.After the lunch,we had some more time to go on preparing our skit.We were supposed to be playing the Water Bomb War by 2.30pm but it was raining and there was the lightning light alert so we couldn't carry out the game.We then had even more time to prepare for the skit in the meantime to wait for skies to clear a bit.My group had finished preparing for their skit and so we played some games with them.I can see that they had a lot fun through all those games.They did a lot of forfeit but could do more but we forgot about it later.The skies cleared up and we proceeded with the game.Just when we were about to start,it started raining again but we continued with it because the game was pretty much done by 10 minutes.We actually had another game but we couldn't play it because of the weather.They went back to CCC to wash up and had their dinner afterwards.After dinner,they went back to CCC and again,prepared for their skit.Rehearsed it up a bit and went to LT26 for the talentime.They were all given lightsticks and because we like a little bit not on time,they started the programme earlier.Group by group they went up to perform their cheers and skit.Once the last group finish,it was our SLs turn.We danced and played up a bit of a skit.Gathered the group up and went to have their last supper before they go back to CCC to have their OTOT time.My group didn't sleep that night and played through the night.Thanks to KinKwok for accompanying them but I was dead on my sleeping bag.Sorry bout that too.He Bin(SL) tried to draw my face while I was sleeping but I woke up when he touched the marker on my face.He failed another time when he thought I was asleep and came closer and found out that I had my eyes open and he was taken back one more time.I had to laugh bout that.Gathered the group up to proceed to take their SnW shirts and goodie bags.This year,all the shirts are dri-fit materials unlike ours last years.Pretty jealous about there.Then,we proceeded back to LT28 for the freshies briefing and all the SLs went behind to take a nap because every one of them was down tired.Some of the SLs went out to have some refreshments and after some time,the freshies had their final meal before the breaking of the camp.After lunch,we took photos with the freshies.I'll put them later down.One of the groups challenge us for cheers and our group beat them down to it.Cheers Whiskeys!The breaking of the camp was followed not too soon after and the SLs had a debrief before we went back to clear out our sleeping area before we get to leave camp.
Whiskey!(Without SLs)
Whiskey Formal(With SLs)
Whiskey!(With SLs)
I guess that's probably all of what's about the camp.This is just a summary because if I really wrote everything detailed down,it would take a lot more than this.
See ya folks!
