...past conversations re-playing continuously in my head, like a broken video player
Finally i changed my blogskin!! and yes i am finally updating... haha. i cant very well let this beloved blog die now can i? haha... i just came back from my photog camp, gosh who knew going for a simple 2-day-1-night camp would result in so many bruises? tut-tut im skipping loads of parts so i shall start at the beginning...
i needed 3 aluminium cans for the camp but by thursday night i only had 2... and so did sonia... so we said we'd get one more on friday morning before the camp started... i got to school around 0740 and sat in the canteen with 3 bags. i must have looked ridiculous... 1 was the bag with all my belongings.. another was my sleeping bag.. and the last was a camera bag... i bought my last can but really didnt feel like drinking it.. haha.. i met up with bei yi and we went to the study area and saw other people there too... apparently we weren't allowed to go near the photog room or something.. so we sat there and waited... sonia eventually came... apparently the camp was gonna start late cause ms yee hasnt come to school yet and we needed a key or something, i really wasnt paying much attention.. haha well when the camp started, we were split up into 2 groups and started playing the dry games...
the first game was that weird chair caterpillar game which all the j1s and the ta1 knew how to play... my team's strategy wasnt very good lol... and we eventually gave up and cheered for the other team when they finished hahaha... we were made to do a forfeit for that though... just a simple spelling something with out butts.. yepp yepp.. so then we went on to the next station, this web which was covered in toothpaste... our strategy was simple, just go through in the fastest time neglecting whether or not you touched the strings.. it was fun.. but the more fun parts was when sean became overenthusiatic in reapplying the toothpaste on the web to sabotage the other group... (it worked btw, sonia had toothpast all over her shorts or something like that) and the last dry game was this obstacle course which we couldnt touch the obstacles... our group went in with about 5 people and only 1 person made it out. LOL? haha well it was kinda fun i guess...
after about a 5 minute water break, we headed up to the theaterette for a lesson by samuel... that talk lasted for about an hour plus... and its not that im not appreciative of his artisticness and the talk itself... but i really wanted to fall alseep... or move somehow.. i was so relieved when i could finally get out of my seat and stretch my legs... and it was LUNCH. we went out and ate lunch across the road... then made it back to school... for this mock cg photo-taking session... it was quite tiresome and well im hoping that we dont have to do it this year.. haha... when it was over, we had to do an evaluation before we played the wet games!!
oh gosh the wet games.. well from one point of view i suppose they were fun, and enjoyable... and the other hand, it was unhygienic, disgustic and downright painful... haha the first game was this ridiculous thing where we had to remove chocolates which had been placed inside a watermelon by the seniors.... it was GROSS... and daniel was no help at all!! he kept laughing at all of us... hmph... lol.. arh well the next game was just a little more disgusting... we were given this bucket of COLD water... when i say COLD i mean COLD.. we were supposed to use the a pair of chopsticks to dig out objects... and lemme tell you what was in this bucket...(other than the objects)... there was PEANUT BUTTER, KAYA and JAM. the smell was god awful... and after we dug out the object, we had to run around the basketball court shouting WE LOVE PHOTOG! ... okay the running and shouting part wasnt that bad but that horrible bucket... ergh... the last game was the game which got all of us completely head-to-toe drenched... we were supposed to build this tower made out of aluminium cans and each side had attackers to attack the other side with water bombs to topple the tower... let me tell you something... those water bombs HURT when they hit you... the first one which hit my left calf made my muscle cramp up... OW? gah.. and we were being attacked left right center ... and oh yeah. beiyi got hit with one on her head... yikes.. she reckons she might have lost a couple of braincells there... lols.. we were all quite relieved when the game ended.. though my team didnt win we still had fun... we all went to the canteen for dinner after that...
PIZZA!!! oh my darling dear pizza... i was seriously hungry!! i think i was the first person to finish their 3 slices of pizza... yummy!!! it was only during dinner that i noticed pak nian had broken his specs... he looked quite comical wearing only half of his specs.. lol... apparently he was chasing weechuan to splash him with a pail of water but he crashed into the fence instead.. ouch!! he was trying all sorts of ways to make his specs stay together otherwise he couldnt see... in the end kai yi saved him with duct tape... (why on earth did he have duct tape?) anyway after dinner we went back to the theaterette cause there was time before our next game... sonia and i did a wedding march out of total randomness... the entire thing was captured on pak nian's phone... it was quite eventful if you ask me.. first there was this whole issue about who was who... and then the aisle was cluttered with stuff... and sean, who was holding the camera... had tripped along the aisle... and then when she supposedly leaned over to hug me... she almost fell on me... so we wanted to do the whole thing over again... (something we didnt actually manage to do yet haha) but there was no time... it was time to play the last game of the day... we headed out to the the grass patch near the long jump area... and played this candle game... VERY FUN... haha but i did get hit by hot wax.. very painful mind you... then after the game it was time for a wonderful SHOWER.
the girls were supposed to take the shower at the sports complex so we headed over there... when we were walking down that scary dark corridor, i had to hold on to beiyi... it was super scary... haha but we managed to get to the toilet without any mishaps... i was the last to bathe but gosh the water was fantastic.. even though it was a bit piercing on the skin... it was like a blissful massage on my head... i felt so much better after that bath... we headed back to the theaterette for the movie marathon... but neither sonia nor i liked the first movie War of the Worlds much so we decided to go to the D area and star gaze... i think we were there for about 1 to 1.5 hrs... we just stayed there looking at the stars and talking... it was fun... and very cooling... x) at around 12 am, we made our way back to the theaterette and i decided to try to sleep... i slept till about 3am i think... then someone woke me up for shrek3... the movie wasnt quite up to standard and i liked shrek1 and 2 much better... it wasnt as dramatic i think... wells after that we all (okay fine most of us) went to sleep again...
sonia woke me up at 0645 to go change which was when i noticed this HUGE bruise on my calf... O.O... it didnt hurt much... my calf muscle was aching much more than the bruise.. but still it was quite unsightly... arh wells...breakfast... which melissa (and i cant remember who else) had done for us... i ate 2 slices of kaya bread!! yum yumm.. after that we were split into groups again with the task of going to bugis street to take photos... i was quite elated... i could sleep on the bus!!! wheee... but we all had a late start cause the guys suddenly realised that they didnt know where their room key was... o.o scary thought. no matter, we finally set off and i did manage to sleep on the bus, on sonia's shoulder (which is very comfy)... and when we got there, arun suddenly realised that he had the keys to the boys room... gosh... on the bright side they finally found the key...
the outing at bugis wasnt much, and we all gave up on it and decided to slack the day away instead... we went back to bugis and had an early lunch at kfc... then we got a phonecall saying that we all had to be back by 12nn instead of the 2.15 planned.. so we rushed through our lunch... and as i was still eating my cheese fries, sonia took some ridiculous shots of me... beiyi thinks i should advertise for cheese fries... hahaha... funny.not. anyway we rushed back to bedok and brisk walked all the way back to school and we MADE IT!! coolness.. since there was a huge gap between the time we arrived and the time the games started, we all stayed in the theaterette watching The Devil Wears Prada... i didnt really like it in the first place but... to fill up the time okay fine...
the game eventually started and we had to play sort of a amazing race game where at the end we'd "save" someone they had "kidnapped"... beiyi and i were tied together at the ankles so we were the handicaps... at each station we would find an envelop which lead us to another station and so on... and at some stations we'd have to do an activity... like the Memory game, Charades... and weird math games which included counting... something i hate.. lol... our team managed to win this time!!! gosh it was very fun... after the game we headed back up to the theaterette to wait for the other team to finish... then we'd start the hastings...
hastings went by... with not much surprises cept darryl's... cause he couldnt make it, he had sent a video... nothing much to say... dinner was right after that... we all went to the food court opposite the school.. well half of us did ... the other half went to play bball at the bball court beside the food court... sonia and i weren't very hungry so we ordered 1 basket of calamari rings and 1 basket of garlic bread... YUMMY... although lincoln was the first to get this food, he didnt eat till all of us had our food... we all waited for a very long time cause we all followed his example... and finally managed to dig in... coindidentally when the other group had finished playing bball... lol... after we finished eating, the other group grabbed a small bite of stuff from the confectionary shop and then we went to wait at the school gate for ms yee to open it for us to get back inside....
we werent allowed back into the theaterette cause the senoirs were still preparing for the handover... so sonia and i were behaving weirdly outside... arms around each other shoulders and swaying from side to side... LOL. we were terrorising all the seniors who had to pass us to get to the theaterette.. oh but what fun!! when we were finally let in, daniel made a speech, and the whole thing was so SAD... ms yee said her little speech too.. and then the seniors gave out a little gift to all of us... oh yeah... sonia made SECRETARY!!! congrats darling!! haha well that was kinda the end of the photog camp for me...
i made loads of new friends and really enjoyed myself haha.. hope we have another camp or bonding time soon eh? x) well ive got an appointment with my sister right now, we're planning to watch charmed episodes on youtube.. xD gosh i really have to catch up on my revision too... *worried* (: well i guess this is it for this post... *muax* to all my friends and arriverderci!
