Whee, I'm back from the camp. Goodness, what a camp. Truely all-encompassing. I mean, I had dehydration/heatstroke (dunno which), height elements (damned fun), gross dorms (mine was Dorm Delta), canteen duty (lunch duty!), nice facilitators (fen and xinhui! <3) and lame teachers (-_-" very, very lame).
Lets' go by points. Firstly, I got lost on the way there. I got off at the bus stop at the PSA building cause it was on the map, realized it was the wrong stop, took a taxi and went on a spin around Pasir Panjang (and wasted $5.80) only to have to get off and hitch-hike in the car of another camp goer (who also lost her way) and we arrived late after I got through to shann and she gave directions. So malu. -_-"
Then there was briefing, blah blah blah, lunch (which was stupidly curry. I mean, isn't it common sense not to provide spicy food to a group of people with whom you do not know whether they take spice?) and then we had our first height element. That was, by then, in the afternoon.
So. We put on our helmets and harnesses (later in the camp I started pronouncing them as harnets and helmesses. It's the food, I say.). And trooped out into the hot sun and the mud (since it just rained, but it was VERY hot, trust me, worst then OBS. In fact, OBS is mild in comparison) to face the Barrel Hug. Basically, there's this tightrope at about three stories high, above that there's a barrel hanging on another rope higher than the first, and you're supposed to go across the tight rope hugging the barrel. Belayed, naturally.
Berny went first, then qianni, whom I belayed, and Liju, whom I belayed too. I was supposed to go after that. But halfway through belaying Liju I started seeing colors and felt nauseated and couldn't stand. Luckily Liju was only about five rungs up, and could come down, or else I would have been responsible for murder. Anyway, I went to the first aid stand and had to sit there for a while (which wasn't so bad, since the shade was fantastic).
And the height elements. I absolutely loved the challenge pole. It's this pole about three stories high and diameter 15 cm ruler. Super shaky. Anyway, the scariest part was at the top, cause you had nothing to hold on to. At the top you have to jump off and try to grab a rung. :) And there was the tyre thing. Poor belayers.
Dorms were dratty. It's cold in appearance, with metal double layered bunks and thin hard mattresses spaced out evenly.
Canteen duty was successful. We were praised for it. x)
FACS! FENNEH AND XINHUI! <3 Haha, my darling facs.
Teachers. They seemed to all have retarded about 20 years younger, mentally. KT was going around throwing pebbles onto his helmet and letting them bounce off, doing a 'sporting dance' where he mock-runs slowly in the opposite direction to which the person is falling from the challenge pole with outstretched arms, hugging the BELAYING pole when the person on the climbing pole is shaking. (The belaying pole is, like, 2 meters away...-_-") And of course, his NOWWWWW. And the rest too. We (almost - Qianni left it on her bed) lost our dorm key and they were so happy and cheery about it. Even our facs were shocked.
Yes. I'm tired now. Am being msnly-abused by brenda. sigh. She's taking advantage of the situation, I say.
