Ok lar fac camp wasn't that UN-fun don't know why there has been this rumour that it sucks real bad. 11 from 6G went and that was kinda cool. nv expected so many to turnout haha although the entire faculty had quite a considerable amount of ppl going for the camp! despite being athena the dead last haha.

Basically everything about the camp was bad. Nothing except the activites were entertaining. The tents were horrible haha cuz it was like raining everyday and the tents were marshy and stuffy and stinky smelly whatsoever and i have 2 "great" snorers in the tent! ++++ behind the tents were generators which were like "gnorrrrr" non stop thruout the night. man the first night i slpt only 1 hour the next day i was aching all over and so damn tired. 2nd night was a bigger disaster my tent became a virtual swimming pool with the smell the ambience and even with real water inside. It was a total swamp! heng the instructors let us sleep in the huts :p but kiat yenny and me slpt in their tent which was semi-dry. the night was cool and cold, so easy to slp =p closed my eyes and slpt, peacefully at last! ( kiat and yenny don't snore CHEERS!) haha.

The food was bad too >_< man although we had 4 meals a day which were VERY filling it's staple food all 4 meals, but the food was rock dry man, the instructor went on explaining gravy will make the food smell bad if you keep too long so everything is dry. then regina is like competing with me see who eats faster cuz i'm like real slow always dead last hell yeah ><...

Toilets were very bad too >_< no doors ain't too bad we're all guys anyways but the toilet pumps were half working the flushing system was screwed. and the 2nd night, the toilets turned out to be a fly nest. So many rain flies invaded the whole toilet like swarming bees it's crazy and creepy.

Campfire was LAME, and the lameness is really so lame i could suffocate and choke there. yennyboi was crumbling under the lameness of the instructors and Alex who was leading some ( was it tamil or thagalogue ) song, which was obviously not appealing to us. Basically the intructors were so childish and they asked us to BEHAVE OUR AGE, man hello you are acting like 5 year old kids then asking us to act as young man, do the right thing and stuff... heng our instructors very nice people =p leon and amy haha, caring and enthusiastic and NOT LAME haha.

Activites were the best, cuz the rest was real bad. Made few friends from other classes and bonded even closer with my classmates. Every game on the first day develop trust and cooperation in each other. It's really hard to describe such things but the activities were really great... if not for the rain they would've been better >< the sea wouldn't be choppy when we did the jetty jump and our rafts breaking down the instant it touched the water lol.

1st day activities were okok they were meant to build team spirit i guess. Rope crossing was really tough so we used shoe laces to hook the rope to us... and slowly swing to the other side lor. the last guy was ding, a natural pro, he grabbed onto the rope flipped and got onto it. before we knew it he was with us on the other side liao. Over the wall, was so freaking intimidating and strenuous. Cuz ppl who went up cannot help those at the bottom, the last few guys had to suffer a lot, and i was one of them with cherng yu and xing zhou haha. we shouldered cherng yu up first =p ez breezy task. then i went up on xing zhou's shoulders grabbing onto SHOELACES again haha our trademark item :p. then xing zhou SHOELACED up the wall with ding and ricky pulling from above =p. After lunch i was slpy and attituded a little then Amy ask me be demo for leap of faith. gosh it's so high and the pole was so near yet so far, actually it's quite near... i climbed up and freaked out, but so much encouragement was given by my friends down there, i jumped and grabbed yay.. cuz if u fail man you gotta do it again haha. most of us passed with one try, tian cheng was the coolest he climbed up stood there jumped and grabbed w/o any thinking or fear. he's like so not afraid of heights >< did the finger thingy after that. this was where kia meng got his poor shouder burns from continuous supporting the guy on top of him :X made worse by previous Over the wall thingy, he was also the main shoulder support. This time we couldn't use SHOELACES to hook the tires up cuz they were like so heavy and filled with water after the heavy downpour :X. Night activities were quite fun in a sense at least there is air-con in the conference room- the only room with air-con haha. Animal farm lol, blind folded and "miao"ed to call out for own team mates. in the end, tian cheng and kiat found me and we 3 were like at the another side of the room, then the rest were somewhere far far away.

2nd day activities were more of solo work. Abseiling was tough cuz i'm really afraid of heights. But the instructors were so caring and helpful i managed to abseil down easily with the right techniques. Rock wall was so hard, as in difficult, the wall was protruding out every inch upwards. so i used a lot of hand muscles which i didn't have much of so i tired out after the 1st or 2nd jutting rock >< and my grip was real weak, maybe i didn't have the right technique. Anyways out of the 4 camps only 1 guy made it up the intermediate rock wall... well kiat was so close but he gave up >_< Rafting was crappy, we followed the design of ricky's reliable source haha and the sampan flopped at the weight of 5 people, not to mention kiat and the 2 girls were so light ... gosh dun really know what went wrong but nvm. jetty jump was freaky it was raining and the sea was choppy and i didn't know how to swim but to rely on the life jacket and i didn't have my specs so my view was close zero visibility. frantically i jumped down hurting my back real bad then dunno who came to my rescue >< soz i can't see ur face :X haha. we bathed real early today the bathroom was all to us! haha. took our time in the showers the rest disappeared only kiat ding ricky few of us. so the bathroom was empty for the first time it was really cool. refreshed and then was campfire when we did the ba chor mee thingy skit which was quite cool... the instructors were laming around with kiddy songs that i prolly did in JMC yamaha classes >< the problem is now im 17 and i did JMC at 5 or 6... so you could imagine many ppl suffering beyond words. It couldn't have been made worse by the out of tune instructor which was blatantly out of tune that Mr. Leng would prolly need 10 tuners to tune her right or maybe give her 2 tight slaps and go bald after that haha.

3rd day was the worse. it rained right in the morning and did some human mechanics stuff in the conference room, then we were laming around w/o any plan. TCP was freaky i did not do it i could not do it. regina kept pulling me asking me to go up but i was nauseous just looking at the height and bare ropes due to bad childhood memories >< so i sat with tian cheng and stephanie who didn't go up too. we chatted non stop. after that was lunch and boat back. finally civilisation

-tired
