we'll never know till we try
i almost fell asleep on the sofa while taking five reading a book, when the kettle started whistling. hurrah for the kettle =S made some miso soup and decided to come and blog about the last day of camp instead.
the book i'm reading now is intellectually-stimulating, uses an expansive array of grammar and is about the socratic method, also known as elenchus, which is hellenistic greek for inquiry or cross-examination. hahaa it's quite exciting, and seems good for recovering various terms that i haven't used in awhile! philosophy rox =)
anw on to Day 4:
woke up groggily, but we could sleep in later (like half an hour lol -.-) because they'd chartered a bus to fetch us to sentosa, palawan beach! but only got 2.5h sleep that day. i swear we must have run back and forth along the entire length of the beach 6-8 times..
Sentosa Games-
it was station games! and fun =D there was a twist, each group had 3 sabo cards they could use! and if they won, the other group had to do the forfeit while your own group gets bonus points.. the sabos were 1. human muah-chee, 2. human pyramid, 3. camo cream makeover.. our group had to do the first two, but were spared the last! which was highly fortunate because one of my councillors was scaring us about the side-effects of camo - pimple outbreak! he used to not have any pimples, until army and camo.. =S how lucky we didn't tio.
there were 6 stations in total!
1. Dodgeball= there were two parts to this, first one involved racing and scrambling to get as many balls as you can. second one was the actual game! our teams were split into two. so there were 2 matches! ended up 1-1, so there was a tiebreaker that we won eventually =D my ogmate was quite paiseh, coz he hit the girl who had been his movie date.. but it was all for the victory! =)
2. wugui wugui tiao= some children's game where you can't have the same action. and the objective is for the entire team to roll into the water! the first team who is completely wet first wins.. it's like self-muah-cheeing.. lol but mokuze fell in love with muah-chee! because we were so pro at it =D we'd lost at the first part of the game so we were further from the free roll line, the starting line where once one team reaches that, all the teams can start rolling towards the water!
if in the first part, the wugui game, if you'd won more times, the team would be nearer to the water. teams are lined up in a row, lying on the sand, and every win from the wugui game entitles the team to one roll, so you'd be closer to the free roll line! haha my group was further but we rolled damn fast and we won! i remember when i was rolling all i could see was sky, sand, ogmate's legs! i think i rolled off course coz i'm supposed to see his head not his legs.. HAHA so i siam and just ROLLED into the water =D overtaking him so fun! that's how we fell in love with muah-chee.
3. Twin towers= supposed to be a tag team race where we complete stations! we lost this one.. and the opposite team used muahchee sabo card, which wasn't a big deal since we were all wet and we loved muahchee! HAHA so fun =D and we won the bonus cheering points coz we were all high after rolling into the sea LOL
LUNCH BREAK: the chicken rice was the best! did i mention that everyday, we had one chicken dish for lunch and dinner? LOL coz it was cai beng. but sentosa day, was real chicken rice with veggies! yay for veggies =D
4. WAR= girls were piggybacked by guys.. and held a bottle of water. we were supposed to go and snatch and empty the bottles of the opposing team.. rawr =( i didn't like it. it was unstable! and i didn't wanna be piggybacked but no choice. luckily we were immersed in water so it wasn't so heavy for him.. sian.
i was damn scared of falling or getting scratched by the other girls! we were number 4, so when the councillor called 4, we had to go and fight the opposing 4! i just kept hiding from the other people instead of being violent like use him as a shield to protect the bottle then when got chance, try to grab. but wow the other girls were REALLY violent.. i was more concerned with trying not to fall off =X scary!! but we won, because at the last free-for-all fight i managed to GRAB HOLD of one girl's bottle and snatched it away and upended it.. that was like my only moment of glory =D heehee! i was the only one who totally emptied someone's bottle. anyway, everyone cheated la.. got chance will sneakily re-fill bottles.. except that time there was no chance! i seized the correct moment despite being terrified of falling =D LALAA~
5. psychomotor game= they gave us coloured flags and read a passage.. the flags were supposed to be held up or down by the end of the passage, and you're supposed to listen for it! but well, apparently my group wasn't good at it because at the end of the first passage we only had one contender left.. LOL so we lost.. and had to do a human pyramid.
6. treasure hunt! = this was quite fun, except it involved alot of running. we got pro at putting pieces of puzzle that formed our group's logo together =D yay.
FINALE=
we were trailing horribly by the first station! no idea how the other groups managed to get water into the bottles so fast to fill it up to the mark. i think they just kept running for water. our strategy failed. hmm. and the worst thing was every station was AT LEAST half the distance of palawan beach away! so we were running back and forth SO MANY TIMES. plus the sand was super hard to run on.. i want to train by running on sand! i think it's way more effective, except some sand was very scratchy and i'd had sand abrasions on my feet after mass games the day before.. so it was VERY PAINFUL.. but just kept running loh! 2 of the female freshies also had abrasions then they stopped playing so councillors had to sub in, coz one involved broken skin and plasters that wouldn't stay on!
i'm looking at mine NOW. it looks like a burn scar.. no wonder so pain! because when the wound had been fresh, it had just been a thin red line and i was wondering why on earth it hurt so much. the other abrasions on my feet were just scratches so heck. my legs are disfigured! LOL besides the stupid deep scar from falling on stadium steps in JC that's black, i now have a myriad of bruises on my knees and shins! rawr.
anyway we ended up 4th! =D not bad from last place =D hahaa. anw, palawan beach's sea near the kou fu foodcourt is really dirty. i do not advise visiting it. there were random bits of garbage floating in it with us.. GROSS.
i really almost lost my voice at sentosa! even now, its condition is fluctuating.. hahaa i ate a LOT of pi pa gao at costa sands pasir ris, which is where we stayed for the last night! the buses fetched us there after we'd washed up and changed to the E5 shirt =) it's yellow, so there were alot of bumblebees flitting about! LOL.
Sp Revelation-
well, it wasn't a revelation for him, but it was for me! haha i'm glad i got him as my sp though, he was entertaining and friendly =) one of my councillors came up to us and said "you look different without the blindfold" to him! LOL and previously, another of the female councillors had told me that "your SP has good bottom half of face, but i cannot see the top half of the face"! so funny! like i even cared about looks =) i hope he wasn't disappointed with his present tho.. because it was really last minute.. but i gave him a netherlands poster amongst other small things! rawr. it was nice. got van persie.. i sorta wanted it.
we had buffet dinner, finally something other than chicken! there was sweet and sour fish, fried rice, noodles, some chicken thing, curry veggies and cup pudding! quite yummy, i liked the fish best! and councillors tried to be matchmake-y again, but with blindfolds off, things were different coz you can fend them off better! less vulnerable =) we talked more, it was nice getting to know a new friend better =D
adjourned to function room! along the way, they made us find our photo that they took when we were blindfolded. i look ugly =( he looks nice. rawr. then we did the SP dance in the function room! hahaa actually more like we tried to follow whatever the councillors did, i was really confused by all the turning.. like i've been proclaiming vigorously: i can't dance. =D my SP had to leave immed aft coz he had some ndp stuff to do but he was really nice to stay until the dance ended =)
Talenttime-
we showcased our dance! it was a combination of firstly, the kungfu hustle axe gang dance! and secondly, taiwanese variety show's tai ke wu! we had alot of fun =D which was the most important, besides winning best dance xD wahaa! but i forgot the first step and felt really awful =( though everyone didn't even remember or said it didn't matter. but i'll remember it forever! rawr.. i guess winning takes away some of the guilt. if we hadn't won, i'd have blamed myself forever.. i think. NAH. probably would have tried to forget it =D and being a shan bian de dong wu, probably can! LOL.
the pageant part wasn't that successful so i think the organising councillor felt bad coz he drank the forfeit mixture. like this HUGE blender of apples, egg and tofu! which was like eww, and someone else took over the hosting.. sigh. why do people put so much responsibility on themselves? we're just there to have fun! =P ok i'm being totally contradictory. and it's ironic that i'm saying such a thing.. haha =D pageant consisted of the couples playing twister and picking tasks for their groups to complete.. yup.
lastly, the councillors put up a mini performance and it was mass-singing, a.k.a. KBOX! we got quite high =) yay.
following that, we slacked around, then went for supper at macs where the other 3 female freshies fell asleep.. lol. i didn't even want to sleep! it was the last night, why sleep.. but everyone was so tired! played some cards at macs before returning to chalet where we continued with indian poker but they sent off sleepy vibes that we all went to bed in the end.. and when we woke up other groups were already awake and hyper! i was super stoned after sleeping so not very active.. then we went for lunch and went home.. where i crashed for 18 hours!
haha i've finally finished recounting csc camp. wow. it was a wonderful journey =)
