sec 3 camp is over. so fast. and it wasnt as exciting as i expected it to be. but one really cute instructor made up for it! haha. ok la. i think pinwei or watever his name is is funny. thats all.

1st day. visited the school for the visually handicapped. did some vioce recording for the 'person in charge' there. half the class did office work, half went to the classrooms. i wanted to see the classrooms but nvm.

4 girls cut shapes out of cardboard, 3 typed something i dunno wat and 1 read out some stuff for ms chong to type in braille. i did the voice recording. so cool. means i left my mark there. haha. wadeva la.

after recording a few exercises, i went to the canteen and went to look at the classrooms. yay!! heehee. oh yea. and the people there thought i was from raffles. is that a compliment??

the classrooms are surprisingly small. the size of my bedroom. that is small. but i think it should be considered big already since in the first place. there were not many students there.

1 discovery. although the students there are not as bright, but they have talent. dickson, this small cute guy, could play the piano. i thought that was great.

after visiting the canteen adn classrooms, we, the pl people, went to the hall to rehearse what we were gonna perform. some songs. yea.

so we did sings some songs. all christian songs. then i led in some games. michelle did lead here and there but most of the time, she was like ' not there'. still, michelle did a lot to prepare. she prepared all the sentences for the message game, and all. and she called me so many times to ask me what to do. means she really does care about what she was doing. i take my hat of her man. i think. michelle is really mature. i think.

we played the message game, pass the parcel, which was more like ' throw my a maths textbook'. someone borrowed my book and i went home before she returned it so i had to bring it along.

pass the parcel really shocked me. cos the parcel person had to share name, age and a favourite. the students might seem small, but they were not young. if you know what i mean.

yea..and we did hokey pokey which turned out really fun. i guessed everyone had fun.

lunch was not say very good, but nevermind.

newater plant was the other side of singapore so i slept the journey.
i filled in most of the worksheet before we did the tour so most of the tour i didnt write anything. i learnt alot there. all the processes and stuff. newater is really cool...yea...

God is really intelligent. to come up with all these modern technology. without Him, there would not be any of these. hee..

on the bus to east coast, where were were supposed to do another 1 and a half hours picking litter for cip, i went through the worksheet answers with the class.

at east coast, beef and i took a bag and picked up everything we saw. haha. expect the unmovables. we got some really heavy stuff.
slacked long time. with like a lot of classmates and the instructors. haha. all i can say is pinwei or whatever his name is is really funny, he has ultra sharp features and likable. all his poses....

took class picture he was behind me and celina. and then one photo he whacked me on the head, cause my mouth to open. the photographer, yi zhang, exclaimed to us my mouth was huge. stupid la. so we took another one.

1st day no need to camp out. went home to sleep.

2nd day, kayaked. jos and me had lots of fun. we carried alot of kayaks. did a lot of demos and volunteered to capsize. and all.

dinner was great. eggs and veg and fish. i gave my veg in return for eggs. nice meal man.

did preparations for campfire night item.

slept in a tent with rachel, michelle, audrey and jos.

at 4 am, it rained. i was asleep but woke up instantaneously.

packed the shoes and stuff, slept a while sitting up. the rain came in a bit. lucky not much. i heard other tents had their own swimming pool and stuff. some even commented tsunami was in singapore. haha. as expected, didnt sleep much.

3rd day, had to walk a distance before reaching the nearby toilet to wash up. the cement track we were near, that led us to the toilet, was crawling with earthworms. gross 143 times.

long ones, short ones, dead ones, live ones, fast ones, slow ones...there were even crabs. cos the other side of the track was the beach.
guess what was for breakfast.

mee tai mak. i didnt a single bit of it.

orienteering. using the compass and map was basically common knowledge. we just walked a few hundred km to one point, find a password stuck to a wall, then go to the next point.

4 points before lunch, 4 after. did 3 before lunch. wanted to finish but gave up. other groups did only 1 so its ok.

on the way to lunch point, our group met pinwei's group!!!! heeee.
the following 2km didnt seem so tiring. anyway, it was already consider short distance. compared to what we had covered.

lunch was western. nice. but dry. fried fish, fries, cold slaw that wasnt cold, baked beans. ate everything except the fries. we gathered all the fries and gave it to pinwei. pig.

after lunch, the instructors decided every group do 2 points and return to camp so that we could bathe first, to not cause a jam when the other people doing other couses came back to bathe.

we did ours really quickly, had some hours to spare. then slacked for a while before taking mrt back. luxury. ours was mrt and secretly, chocolates and sweeets. other groups' luxury was macs and stuff la. so actually, each group could have a luxury.hee. yvonne, the instructor taking us, even bought the group a pack of gummies. heehee. she didnt know we bought other stuff when she bought the gummies.

anyway, we reached the campsite first. got to bathe in the chalet. the teachers got rooms plus the chalet gave our school some free ones just for us to bathe in. yay!! cold drinking water was already considered luxury not mentioning bathing in a chalet.
we needed an adult to be in the room with us when we used the room so we waited for a while. then wei chuen, this other cute instructor, volunteered to help. we didnt allow him to of course. pervent. haha. kidding.

campfire. our item was really last minute but it went well. compared to other classes' item. i practically slept through some. and the fire kept getting smaller. haha.

slept well. yay.

last day. games. super super fun. 1 person knock down 3 bottles then 3 people can bounce a ballon back, then 6 people can transfer water to fill up a bottle, then 9 people can do this this this, then 12 people can do that that that, then 14 people can carry 1 girl back to starting point, then 18 people can walk back with only 6 limbs on the ground, then 18 people can do this that this, then 21 people can play memory games before 1 person carry the flag back to starting point.

this is a rough layout. yea. our class cheered screamed and all, and we cheated a bit but so did the rest. then when rachel opened the last 2 cards of memory game and forgot to bring the flag back, i did it for her. haha.

went home, drank cold water, bathed and slept.
