Yae! I managed to survuved 5 days of 2 camps! hehe. The whole camping thing is no doubt tiring and I was practically a walking zombie on the last day of the zhss sec2 camp but the accomplishment was great. =)

I was actually pretty nervous and excited on the whole of this camping thing, especially for the judo camp. It's the first time camping in ny and attending judo camp mahx! Let me start with the judo camp first. I was kind of judo camp sick when I was in the zhss sec2 camp. haha. The judo camp went passed so quickly! I jsut kept thinking of the trainings and fun we had when I went there for the games during the zhss sec2 camp. I think it really bonded the j1 together a lot and of course get to know some of the others better. Not forgetting the j2s also! Should recognise their effort in organising this camp. They're a cute and funny batch! But it's really sad that we only started to know them better and they're going to leave after the competition. I think I'ld really miss their crappiness and coaching durign trainings.

Anyway, back to the camp. It's pretty a slacking camp actually minusing the judo trainings. I think most of the j1 were expecting much more physically demanding stuff especially for pt. Oops! tsktks. However, they said that this camp is meant to help us bond together so I think the objective is achieved. By the way, my group was called 'Moo'! hahaha! It consist of angela & yiwen (facilitators), ricky, kian soon, darren, wee keat, di hua, shiyun, jasmine, krystal and me!

The jodo training is like the peak of the entire camp for me. (We had judo training on the first day too. Coach tan was there. It's his last training with us before the competition so the pace was fast.) It's so damn tiring and demanding! Warming up is like shit man. I was already sweating like a real bull! hehe. And my knee got kana again. Plus my ankle, so the whole right leg is like dead. Practise a couple of throws and did uchikumi. Think like 2 sets of the uchikumi - 1min, 30s, 10s and we had to do it like super fast and accurately. But the sense of satisfaction and achievement was really there when I finally completed the dojo training. *woot*

We had the night games on the second night. Some were pretty fun and Moo was quite high at the begining. However, the Treassure Hunt was very tiring! We had to go from one end of the school to the other everytime and most often than not, we wallked into the dead ends. haix. We came in last but the prize was quite pathetic so it's alright! haha. It's twisties by the way! -_-"

Last day of judo camp. Most of us (j1) wanted to like give something to the seniors so we had decided to treat them pizza. So we told the ms lim and she agreed to help us to "distract" the j2 in the canteed while we went to the mpr to call candadian pizza. But it wasn't open yet! It's only almost 9am. We got pretty worried and continue calling and other pizza outlets but none was opened yet. Emily lim was really good in stalling time. One hour plus man! haha. We thought it's quite bad not to do anything despite emily lim trying to stall time for so long so we decided to buy bubble tea. Shufen and shiyun went (j2 had returned by then) but returned empty handed. Thank god peizhi manged to call through candadian pizza. It's like 9.45am then. We were so desperate lo and thankfully the people there helped us the pizza despite them not operating yet till 11am. Thank you! Had also the EXCO thing. Kinda of sucky cause I don't really know what to say and was just crappy away. Ran for secretary. The j2s especially ben, was making some of the question so damn hard to answer for some of the others. haix. I'ld just wait and see...

Went for the sec2 camp after that. I was like pretty tired already. But my group is really nice; 2e2-blue. My junior facilitator had also helped me alot; Cheryln from Girl Guides. When I got there, I was actually kind of slacking at first. So damn tired and don't feel like doing anything. The sec2 were having lunch and having their mass dance then. So I pratically slack through the whole thing. It's until the games at ny that I finally got to interact more with them. The afternoon games was still alright.

It's the night games that I really enjoyed myself man! The I/Cs had put all the ny people to games side or patrolling so that they wouldn't help their groups with the clues. So me, jes, kimmie, shufen and zhiliang were in charged of 'Stariways to Heavens'. Yesyes, it's the korean shows name. The game is like this: Each group had to send 1 representative to the toilet (fans and lights closed). He/She had to enter 1 of the 4 cubicals. They do not know that 3 out of the 4 have jes, shufen and me in it. If they enter the cubicals with either 1 of us in it, they would be drenched. If not, the whole group would do a forfit. Cool arh! hahaha. I'm quite a sadist. Almost everyone got wet except one of the facilitators. Chuan Yan if I didn't remember his name wrongly. hahaha. He entered the 2nd cubical and no one was inside. So he's like " No one uh? It's empty." Then all 3 of us came out and were like "EMPTY?!" But, taking him as a facilitator, we still slpashed water at him. I think he was the most drenched of all!

Went gab's house while the sec2 were bathing to watch the 9pm chinese drama. So it's more slacking then. Played the xuan ming thing and the very spastic game, don't know what's that call.

The next day the sec2 had course again. So nehneh, chessy, kimmie, liyana, jes, me, shufen, hongjin, ahma, etc went to the 3rd floor (outside the GB room) to sleep while the other facilitators and game I/Cs went to sing campfire songs and learn mass dance. Very shuang there lo! It's so windy! hehe. But I did went to catch up with the mass dance thing later in the afternnon. The moves are damn spastic and ugly but it's fun to dance. tsktsk. More games at ny before the campfire. Everyone was very high at the campfire despite the hic-ups and drizzle. 2e2 is so damn enthusiastic and enjoyed themselves! So happy for them.

Zhenting came too. So at night most of the 4e2-04 people plus zhiliang were catching up with our lives. So nice to chat with them again. There isn't any barriers and we could just talk very comfortably. Not frightening of backstabbers and hypocrates. So homely. Everyone just chat with an open heart. That's what makes zhonghua especially 4e2-04 so special. Everyone trusted each other. =)

It ended up making me a walking zombie on the last day. Couldn't stand the tiredness and I was sleeping everywhere I went. I didn't manage to take the phto with my group, no camera and no time. But you kids are great! =)
