Humanities Camp
Sunday, June 6, 2010 // 7:25 PM i'm back :D got miss me not! of course lah duhhh :) humanities camp was aweesome. really really fun, and lucky my grp not gl at all :D day 1 woke up at like 530? just to reach school by 7. then in th end boning and yingxuan like late by almost half an hour, then in th end we just have to reach there by 8 -.- so anyways, reached there, collected our stuff, then checked into dorms. our dorm's like the second furthest from the toilet, me and nic got the upper bunks while yx and sq got the lower ones. so aft all that unpacking and all, went for water and snack break w our groups. me, boning and yx are in grp 10 then the othr 3 in grp 9 btw. then aft that we got teambuilding activities. that part not v interesting la, so i shall not say much about it. btw because i forgot t brg my waterbottle, th nice teacher gave all those who didnt bring waterbottle a bottle of 100 plus each :D so aft that, we lunched, then bus-ed to labrador park for history fieldwork. zhihua is some crazed pervertic stalker lorr, keep wanting t take pictures of me and yx. so our first station is the pillbox thing, and then boning keep gl-ing the people acting. like purposely put them in a spot lor. pity them. then next we climbed like v long, like pulau ubin level camp trekking kinda feeling, then reached th second station, which is this model of a WW2 gun and their ammunition. third is the role call part. DRILLS, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. so all the UG people are pulled out t teach them drills (like wtf?!) and im like so laokui lor. only 3 UG PEOPLE in my team. and one of them is boning. the *cough* ex-SJ person. so technically only TWO. but its technically all attention and at ease. which is not role-callish? next is the most awesome one, of this fieldwork. we went to fort pasir panjang. :D and the inside air is like bloody moist and cooling la. its like you go in for 15 mins, your arms and legs are like totally wet. effing cool. and theres this musty, new hotel room kinda smell. and then theres the tunnel connecting part. which bloody looks like some haunted passageway, what w the almost dark atmosphere and oil lamps at the side, and the chilly air. and really really cool la! if it wasnt so dark i would have totally took a picture. this part, the person suddenly open this curtain, then got this fake soldier lying down. wl yx freaked out and yelped man. and i got frightened too, partly cause i thought it was a real dead person, and partly cause yx yelped -.- hahahah zhihua totally wanted to scare yx man, but i stopped him, cause knowing her, she will scream the place down :) so yeah. then finally went out of th fort, then reflections and back to LAC. dinnered then bus off to NMS again. i have absolutely no idea how many times i went to NMS this year. a hundred times or so maybe? anyway it was this treasure quest thing, where you need find answers on the artefact then get tokens. then i think all th museum guiding people got advantage cause we know like the museum like inside out?! aft spending like 4 hours in one particular gallery writing a script and telling visitors about it? my group was yx, boning, zhihua and xingyu. then at first i was like damn enthu lor, walking fast fast to the galleries and finding answers. and since i know where is where, quite easy la :) but nicole's group for 3 MG people lor, mine only has 2, so unfair advantage. and theres this question about the dumb chinese puppetry stage? my part of the gallery tour the main attraction? we actl no time go film n wayang there (which was our gallery), then i saw that question, so i write down everything i memorised, and earned 6 tokens. i rock dont i (: so in the end nic's group won first, and got this limited edition thing, then my group's second :) so every 2K person who went there won a prize. totally pwned lor hehe 8D bus-ed back, otw back yx start rmbing that the hist forum is like due on this friday, which is like then's tomorrow, so she's like totally freaking out cause she hasn't started and when it's due she's still in camp. so she like spam call mr chin lor, then me, nic and sq also left one post t do, so we steal his mac and camp outside sickbay there to do our forum. then the people see us like so hardworking lidat 8D like in camp still need mug (haiyoh dunman high people tsktsk) so this nice person gave us cold milo :D sth nobody else could have, which is awesome. its like my second lucky thing that day. first 100 plus then cold milo 8D and another nice person let us stay till midnight t finish it. when lights out's like at 11. third thing i guess? hahahah. anyway the dorms were so damn bloody hot i was sweating throughout. day 2 woke up at 615, then realised its still damn early, so spent alot of time sitting on th bed and stoning. thn breakfast, which i skipped, then is the dairy farm nature park geog fieldwork. the teacher totally reminds me of tan chyn ngian -.- wth man. we had to walk this really muddy trail through the forest. and its like really narrow and the path damn uneven and muddy, then there are a few parts where you have to duck under this fallen tree to cross, or step over some dead plant. its like some adventure lidat siol, effing cool :D but my shoes then got totally covered in mud so yeah.. my group is like th shaded area one so we went v in into th forest. basically that fieldwork's not so fun yeah... cause it doesnt really make sense, that experiment. its like the variables are completely different, and th ppt and notes nt even clear. srly what has density of vegetation got to do w percentage of bare ground. since when is density even measured in percentage? we got kitkats :D and then got this question he ask who can answer he give extra kitkat. then he nv choose me and then his answer is the answer i wanted to say lor! kitkat :( then aft that bus-ed back to LAC. and had open house prep. but i ponned it to go to th sickbay there for emcee briefing. got treated t ice milo again :) supposedly 7 up de, but they say 7 up not cold so later. but in th end i left early so no 7 up :( went up again t help w th final prep for open house, then went for dinner. wl when w8in for GOH its damn nerve-wrecking lor, like must be damn alert to see when they give you the cue to start saying. then jerrold keep giving me his spastic smile, like as a "promise" earlier on that he'll distract me from my emcee job. cause i told him i could read so much btr than him. wl eh, see him i feel like laughing alr lah -.- at one point he gave me an air kiss, then i was like giving him that "are you serious" face then start trying not to laugh. but anyway, i did my emcee job okay-ly :) mr colin was damn nice lor, keep talking t me and being nice t me. and then i made friends w th two presenters - atirah and samuel ahahha. and they said i was awesome :) all th teachers who came to me said so too. hahaha yeah i know im not, they just like say nice things, but thats so nice of them. so helped out w presentation, and go see others de. xinyu brought his laptop, so he was adding us on fb. then he ask me if i have fb. at first my first reaction in my head was "uhh obviously?" but i said sarcastically "oh, no i dont." then yohanes go extra, go say "yalor! she damn antisocial one. fb dont have, twitter dont have, msn dont have blahblah". and xingyu believed him -.- i just nice have everything he said i dont. and even he doesnt have twitter -.- aft that is station games. first we played the flipping canvas while we on it that game. group 10 was awesomee! we declined like helplines fr th teachers, and we still persevered t finish it so the teachers were all damn happy w us :D next station is the human chain thing, then my part of the team untied all our shoelaces t form the chain. and we got the highest record! 8D awesome, aren't we? aft that we rushed to campfire site. the campfire was damn awesome la, its hilarious too. got the dancing telephone line, which was damn awesome. which we sabo-ed mr lim up, and we kept cheering for him. i think my group was like the highest lor :P then like theres the boy's macho clap, and the girl's "haiyah" clap, then jerrold go extra, do it too, somemore loudly, when the girls do the haiyah clap. so the emcee asked him go out and demo, and his haiyah clap was damn awesome lah! he wont repeat it when i asked him to though. aww. so aft that awesome campfire, went for supper and dorms. mr chin like sms yx say all of us dhs people go meet him outside. so we did. and he asked us to do reflections and how was the camp so far blah blah kinda cliche stuff. and complaining how ms ling is in switzerland, mr teo in japan, miss elaine lim in taiwan and he's stuck here w us in the camp. hahahahha. then he did something like TOTALLY UNEXPECTED which is effing hilarious, but i shall not say what he did cause its sth that shouldnt be revealed. so too bad guys :) but its really really awesome, and i like mr chin more now. so slept, then its like the whole night, the other girls in our dorm were like shrieking the whole night long cause of some bloody lizard, then cant sleep -.- day 3 woke up at like 620? then realise nic didnt wake me up cause she didnt want t wake up yet. wl i want t bathe one lor >( and the other two thought nic wld wake me up so they didnt. so they left go bathe first. cause i was like peek under then yx and sq are gone. so i was like chiong t toilet and bathe. and when i came back, yx wasnt even back yet O.o 5 mins later then she came back. so she went t bathe while i was sleeping, i wake up, bathe finish, sit there 5 mins then she come back. wow bathe damn slow. then breakfast-ed. i was forced t eat by mr lim. say l8r i faint. then i argue i always nv eat, somemore so heavy breakfast not used to. but i lost the argument. so i shared w yx. then xingyu was like "WOW LOOK, genevieve's eating breakfast!" anyway, aft that is history fieldwork at kranji war memorial. that place is really beautiful la, and although there were like gravestones everywhere and kinda creepy, its still pretty (: first activity was to find interesting gravestones to shade, like put paper over and shade w charcoal. i rubbed until my hand suan like hell, then its like entirely black, then w my okay-long fingernails look damn scary hahah. so zhihua helped me. keep saying he does it all th time. bleh. i can do it better. got this grave right, is this royal air force person named Edward C. White, and the name sounds bloody familiar.. can anyone remind me. so aft that + presenting, theres the second activity which is like you do one of three tasks - write a farewell letter, design your own epitaph and write a poem on war dead. i did the letter one, need to write this letter to a loved one before gng to a war that is like 99.9999999% you'll die. yx xingyu jerrold yikai too. the rest do epitaph. so me n yx went t sit at that prickly wall to write our letter. mine's nice okayy! it got picked by mr shah to present hor. letter t my brother or something. then xingyu's was damn funny. it sounds weirdd. haha. then jerrold's is -.- but also damn funny. at first they keep asking me and yx how to write. then aft that jerrold sdly like "genevieve! i use your name okay?" then i was like "no!" and ignored him, thinking he was kidding. and WTF man he really DID use my name. so he's like writing a farewell letter to me ._. and he says his letter is very touching, and he kept irritating me by keep calling me genevieve dearest ._. wl i totally ignored him while writing my letter. until he showed me his. when mr shah came to read ours, he read his outloud, like really. and i feel like laughing aft listening to him read it cause apparently in th letter he's my "drunk abusive boyfriend". but i did not. cause im supposedly supposed t be pissed. which didnt work but whatever. but im so glad he's gonna die in th war, even if it's fictional. anyway i presented, and zhihua presented his epitaph. which showed him dying today. he made himself a general. a 16 year old general -.- he's 16 by the way. boning's clone. then is the discrimination part, which there was this "role play" and my group was the first-class people. and need to sit on th prickly wall -.- aft presentation, we got this competition to find the youngest combat soldier. i found a 16 year old one too lor, but must take into account bdays, so yeah.. then bused back, supposedly is my grp serve food one, so we supposed t be th first grp t reach, but in th end we one of th last, until v little food left. i think the server when he gave me my rice he said sth like "more food for the emcee :)" i think lah. sth lidat. so nice? hahahaa. so lunched, packed up. then evaluation and prize presentation. group 10 won the outstanding (best) group award :D yayy. then we seperated, followed ea of our schs and went home :( aw i'll miss them. k overall right, the humanities camp was AWESOME 8D i love my group. are we v bonded? im nt v sure, but bonded enough for me to miss them now~ too bad for those who didnt go :) it was really fun. maybe even better than level camp who knows :O but the food still level camp better. heh. k i finished my really long post. and yeah aft like in a 24 hour range. lazy mah. oh well. wl whole of next week banned fr going out. damn it. but got family chalet. :) hope it'll b fun again. |
