Go Taurus House!!!
Leadership camp 2006-I have never been a happy camper.I mean,i hate the outdoors.We have comfort,we have technology,so why deprive ourselves?Say what you want, but there's nothing macho about getting bit by a dozen mosquitos and scratching like a tick infested animal.But,i have to admit, this camp was pretty...fun.Yes.I said it.It was okay.Allow me a rundown.
The beginning.The camp lasted from wednesday to friday.That's two nights without a bed.But, leadership camp?If the whole J-ones go, who the heck are we supposed to lead?Yeah,yeah,the future of singapore and bleh...but seriously,i had my doubts.
As usual, i overpacked.I thought i looked like i was hiding a body.I saw worse, trust me.My bag was nearly battering ram standard.So, okay,early morning, apprehensive about going still.Went to school in my bloody PE shorts.They,by the way,DEFINE the words shorts.They guy who invented shorts would be so proud.Such a compromise of modesty in those shorts.They were...Short.Really short.So, yeah.Stupid things.So we left for the camp.House Taurus and House Rasalas.So harry potterish.
Breaking in.At the camp,our activities were held up.By these kids who booked ot late.They called us the "blue people"(our t shirts).Adorable?I think they're just getting dumber.We got down to business,finally.We got briefed,about proper attire.It was then that a very major flaw of mine hit me like an angry woman.I had only ONE pair of school shorts.Yup.It was my precious,precious ichor.My shorts.Here's a revelation.I wore those for three straight days.Stop retching,guys.I don't stink bad.Unlike others.Moving on...Our handphones were also confiscated.Let's all give a hand for Nat's genius plan on getting past this,and still looking like a sweet goody goody angel in the teachers' eyes.The dual Handphone trick.It really was a morale dampener for me.Mom almost skinned me when i came back.And,i missed a certain someone so very badly.
During free time.There really was alot of time to think.I like thinking.It may not get you anywhere in a hurry, but i enjoy the process.It awakens emotions.Without external factors.That's how actors cry on will i guess.I thought about how time can pass so sluggishly.I thought about life thus far.I questioned the purpose of millitary disipline.I thought about Christine.Alot.Knowing for a fact that the camp next to us was called camp Christine made it worse.I really missed her.Everthing started reminding me of her.The peas in my fried rice(she likes peas),the clouds(one was shaped like a hamster.She gave me a stuffed hamster doll.Not a real stuffed hamster,thought that would be cool.) I missed her.The first lesson i learnt.I cannot bear to be away from her.Call me weak,or whatever you want(anand must be having a field day) but my heart used to give this depressive shudder when i thought about our distance and time apart.I love you Christi.
Acts!Activities! I have never gone kayaking.Ever.I got burnt.I look like charred dogpoop now.But Venu's a good guy to kayak with.He has so must experiance, that the kayak almost moves itself.Guys,if you are reading this,Remember Dan Fu and Darren's "turn around" They took a huge loop that took half an hour.And Dan Fu's arms almost fell out.A chopper flew pretty low down,but no one capsised.Darn.Other than that, i didn't really do the high elements.The games were fun though,i still think 3 seconds on the challenge pole can only be gotten by bribery of the ODAC leaders. And who can Forget Edmund's stylish finish on the spider web?2 whole points for Taurus!
Field cooking-NO COMMENT.JUST DON'T ASK.Dan fu choked on a noodle.
Sleeping.The bunk sucked.Darren was forced to brokebag with venu.We did not have space(30 people was way too much).Sorry,danfu,for elbowing you in the space.And Hidhir,for sleeping with raised armpits.We heard malay music at night.Freaky?Nah,just the nearby boathouses.
Now we know why they give the feedback form directly AFTER the camp.We're too tired to complain.
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G SONG.Campfire night.We Rocked the cazba, 0641b!!The girls were sizzling!Except one(i'll keep you in suspense.I'll tell me if you ask me direct.Unless you're that girl.Duh.Pretty obvious.)Seriously,we were the best.We were born to entertain!Thanks Venu, for saving us guys from our inability to dance(with one exception).You're a great leader,don't get a big head, but everyone else thinks so.Which reminds me,now would be a good time to point out some people i got close to over the days.Friendships formed, strenghtened.As such,also my dislike.(i'm not saying,call me shallow,hypocrate)In no random order,it starts.Thanks for being so unified 41B! You make coming to school fun.It's short,i can write thesises on you guys,but i have a space limit.
Donovon-Snowball,you left your conditioner in our toilet,got everyone scolded and forgot your fancydrill,but the class would never be the same without your jokes and bright red shoes.You're like a little brother to us all.
Dan fu-BASKET!60-gig memory,our walking timetable.Very witty and always smiling.A pillar in our group.Pei Chai Chee is real lucky,the girls will agree.
Joy-Thanks for always being there to talk to during PE.Me and Venu might always kid you about your candylicious problem,but we're always here to help,okay?Continue to jump for joy,joy.And get stuck.
Darren-WATCH OUT, PE TEACHER BEHIND YOU!With a paranoia of PE teachers Darren's really funny.Tkd blackbelt first dan somemore.Always make me laugh till my stomach hurts.Where would we be without your many hand signals?
