the last 3 days and 2 nights was spent at the MOE camp at jalan bahtera with about 150 other sec2s.

Group 7! along with grace, tanji, gregory, kangwen, jiamin, lynette, kelly, tingfang, yuwan, amelia, wenzhe, melvin, terence, yuxuan, denise, krismin, chunyi, meiqian. we kinda merged with group 8 most of the time...

day 1:

workship training-essence of leadership. which was pretty important. and quite entertaining (?) lunch. talk. talk. talk. then the Amusing Race@ Lim Chu Kang. i think it was like, dumb, because we had to walk really far just to do one activity... 6 stops my group only did 4. it was tiring cause the sun was bearing down on us and it was just...walking. 10km maybe.

Night activity-nightwalk. this nightwalk was time wasting, because my group waited like an hour or so before we could actually start walking. the ground was super pokey, tough, and totally made my butt numb. damnnn bored so we played heart attack and other weird games. gregory was entertaining. and the insects were !@#$%. it was a solo walk, so like one person starts walking and the next person only starts walking like 300m later. it was very DARK but it was okay, hahah cause the instructors were sitting there wearing light sticks.

then we bathed and it was screwed. cause i waiting outside a door which had no one in it but was locked. like wth. LOL then i learnt that later on, yiqing also waited outside the same door. super funny! great minds think alike, its okay. the water was dripping super slowly... but it felt fantastic because our bodies were like, sticky, sweaty, smelly & disgusting. we slept in a funny arrangement and couldnt sleep due to.............the super irritating x1000000000 insects keep touching our legs and arms and buzz in our ears. so at like 2.30am i was like pissed and i totally wrapped myself in my sleeping bag and i fell asleep. wonderful. LOL. when we woke up...our arms and legs were TERRIBLE. ugly/disgusting/rash/bites/swell. ARGH.

day 2 (this, was the MOST memorable day probably...): morning exercise-BUDDHA CLAPS. this really LOOKS easy but is actually tiring on the upper arms. we did...660 (in 2 days) arms ache. haha.

Multi-level Captain's Ball to me was really messy and -.- because like 40 people on a small area fighting over a few balls. the first round was the worst. one ball only. last round was messy. the sponge is totally DISGUSTING. i grabbed and and saw oil. yuck. smelled my hand (faints). soya sauce+flour+water=gross. wayne&elijah worst i think. grabbed it when it was just sucked with the mixture. squeeze and whole body drenched. tanji very funny. the sponge slid down her face LOL so her hair had white spots in it. we lost but it was pretty cool i guess. it was fun blocking qianling, hahah though i think i pissed her off probably ;x oops.

Stock Exchange-was really...interesting? and involved brain power? me, kangwen, gregory, tanji, grace etc. were mostly involved. and we relied on our own knowledge and got 2nd placing! hahah our instuctor didnt help at all. hahah independent.

Endurance Training-this is totally my HIGHLIGHT of the camp. we learned basic UG drills. which was totally amusing cause it was MOK who taught us. "you cannot do chicken wing! must kiap there!" damnnnn funny. but we learned it all right though the left&right a bit confusing. did a little bit of drills and weird stuff under chief jeff before chief eunice took over for the S&S. then the squeeze&spread one was the one that was...BOOMZ? we didnt really get the point of the 'game' at first but then when we squeezed, the instuctors started shouting "ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE HOLDING ON TIGHTLY TO YOUR FRIENDS?!" "i can still break through!" etc. then they started pulling people out. halfway through round 1, my group of girls like 1/4 started crying. damn. their taunting got to us. me&tanji stood outside. held on when chief eunice pulled my abdomen, but then couldnt really do anything when another instructor pulled my hands away. tanji was dragged out soon after too. they made us stand in front of the whole bunch of people who werent dragged out and said stuff like "these are the friends you have let go!" etc. then its like you look at one tear-streaked face to another, the guilt is there. second round, more emotional. cried. we understood the 'game' now and tried to keep holding on but couldnt. got pulled out again. tanji was...shaking, literally. amanda.. from the sidelines it was worse. to watch more girls being pulled out and not being held on. yeah, it hurts to see that. stood in front of them again. 3rd round, we were damned determined not to give up. we held on like superglue, screamed when someone was getting pulled, shouted, sweated, emphatised and our numbers we cut greatly. the 3rd round, the instructors were like, reluctant to pull so much. especially instructor charmaine. she pulled a bit but when we fought back she just let go. heard that a few teachers cried omg. and then the debrief when mr mun said "............we....love you guys. etc." then our reaction was "WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" hahaha touching. and then, mrs lim decided to take a group photo -.- with our faces like that. gregory mok's reaction "HUH! but the face like that *points to me&tanji behind him* how to take?!" thanks man -.- some people think that the instructors were damned rough but i think its part of their job and the S&S was totally enriching & veryvery meaningful. it makes you realise how important your friends are...& how much you love 'em. yupp. i think they guy groups are super strong. still can sing national anthem. LOL.

Night activity:KIDNAPPED! yuwan was 'kidnapped' from our group. and we did a lot a lot a lot of activities to get the keys. i think our cheer is pretty cool.

soooooo, day 2 was very eventful :D that night i was smarter and wore track pants&socks to sleep so only my arms were attacked. woke up and tanji's legs look like she tio chicken pox. and instructor charmaine accidentally said "pokie dots" instead of "polka dots" HAHHAHA. ahhh she was super caring. "im busy being their mummy&daddy" when when she helped the few of us apply lotion on our bites and stuff. aww, so sweet. sand flies love tanji. amanda's palms swelled like mad! freaky. and the back of gregory's hand looked sooo fat cause it was swollen. couldnt see his knuckles&his bones.

day 3 we just basically finished our buddha claps, cleaned up, and went back to school. our bus sucked.

i have like over 120 insect bites all over my arms&legs. and they are super itchy. and im looking like a freak. ouch. ITCHYYYYYYYYYYY.

milo, is AWESOME. totally love it now.

i swear i hate insects more than ever.
