It was seriously a hyper last minute idea to head this camp since Sze Hui told me to keep my weekends free for training yet she cancelled it 2 days before Saturday. When Elaine told me the activities in the camp, I was like omg omg omg in heart that I wanna go. PLUS! I miss campings. Camping with friends particularly. Although this cant really be considered as camping with tents and all, at least I can still call it as 'camp'. I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy miss my scout days. It was one of the most manliest moments in my life yet I really enjoyed it, learnt so much and gained so much. No regrets! Till I decided to stop my scouting life due to my busy schedule, I only attended Leo camps. Back then, I was used to not pampered by scout camps, attending Leo camps and other camps seem like a vacation to me. Although Leo camps may give a different level of satisfactions to me, Scout camps still the best!
Basically for this interactive camp, I didnt really know much. Just pay the money and enjoy myself without having to worry about anythingg! The moment I reached the campsite, it brought me back to Leo Leadership Camp '09. Going back to a place we once created awesome memories there was a great feeling. Saw the same dorms, same toilets, same cafeteria, same instructors, same obstacle course, same field, same gathering spot and same seminar room. People that accompanied me this time were different but it gives me flashbacks of what happened before. It was worth heading back there!
Elaine and I were in the same group thanks to her evil plan haha:D
Summary of what we did in this 2 days 1 night short camp
Ice Breaking Session
Station Games
1. The bursting balloon didn't excite me at all.
2. White White Powder Game
Intense Moment
The reactions you get when you are being splashed with the flour water.
The only game maybe that Oh Yeah Baby was good in. LOl
3. Passing Ping Pong with Spoons
4.Aeroplane Game
Another Game that I feel screwed up. Spot a noob thats having difficulties doing her very own version of aeroplane. Elaine was a pro in this haha. Another talent found.
Our beloved ah red blocking opponents' aeroplanes
Obstacle Course
Pak Ngah that instructed the Leo camp back then. He remembers Lion Ivan! :D Yeng as usual explaining to us how to carry out the obstacle course.
That's how things are done :)
For this, the guys sounded the girls how manly there are. We girls were like princesses being carried to the another side without touching the rope :'D Sam fu sai the guys. A (Y) for you guys!
If I was given a choice to go or not to go for this, I would rather keep my clothes clean. But since I have no choice but to follow whats set, I decided to finish this like a man. Since we were going to get dirty anyhow, lets dirty with style! :D Instructors and many more were impressed with me hahah :D
Another obstacle course that used man power more than girl power.
I was somehow quite worried for this. Since the whole world was staring at us doing each course and Im scared my legs may land in water or something. Anyhow it wasnt that tough afterall :D
HAHA guys having fun not letting him to land and us girls having fun laughing non stop.
First Thought! Ohh crappp Monkey Bar! I cant do monkey bar :(( After Pak Ngah explained, I was relieved. It was a must for 2 members to assist the fellow who's climbing over. This is what we called teamwork and helping friends.
Some of them climbed over so easily cause they didnt even use a single effort to grab the bar. Only the 'carriers' were the ones suffering. It was hilarious cause we can see who's curi ayam-ing.
Say Hi To the misses from GE :DDDDD
This is suppose to be us ge girls + Wen Yi and ah red decided to spoill our pics by popping in
Oh Yeah Baby at the end of the obstacle course! :D
Performance-Advertise Weird Items
My group's idea was abit lame but luckily ah red was there to freeshow alone. Other groups were good (Y)! seriously goood. I was laughing madly especially when Ah mooi was there with his signature smile! :DDDD
Solo Night Trekking
I was really excited for this! Elaine was scared before we head in the jungle. Excitement just kept me going till we really went in the dark jungle, I got quiet. :( All of us walked in together for a distance and gathered in a place. Pak Ngah numbered each of us and gave us a password. We whispered to each other and was told not to bother by whoever that may be found in the jungle who give wrong password. When we reached the last checkpoint, No. 1 started walking back. We sat down and randomly talking to whoever, Elaine and I turned out to be talking to dont know who in the dark about Taiwan! It was ah Mooi! HAHAHA he was like alone there sititng and so happen near us. We couldnt even see or recognise whos he. Kept asking.. and he was like nehh I was the one that did the (Y) hahaha. I was still lost till I saw his teeth in the dark! I was like OHHHHHHH hahahahaha I knowwwwwwwwwww you. How coincidence.
I didnt waited long till my turn. Honestly I was really scared. I walked quite fast. Trees were moving and I have no idea that were trees, committees on the way back or non living things:( so I just walked. Walked quite fast to reach to the another checkpoint. Nobody was with me and we arent allowed to use torch light, it was quite creepy. Kinda helpless.
Reached to the another checkpoint and found fellow friends :D Heard Sai Meng's voice. It was a wide place to gather, perfect location to see stars. That night, the sky was filled with sparkling stars. I lied down like how I always wanted to :DDDDDDD
Curi Keluar
Sai Meng drove Cheehow, Yp, WenYi, Elaine and I out for a drink! Sneaking out from a camp site was GOOD! :D his driving really speechless = ='
Rafting
This was the only activity that I did before in my previous camp. The Place where I gotten my first leech bite that caused me to bleed for hoursssssssssss in quite a big amount of blood. I had to be really careful while sleeping that night because the wound may bleed again if I touch anything. Great experience though.
So I roughly still remembered some knots I learnt in scouts.:DD Our raft was a beauty. haha
PC in action :3
my fellow teammates :D
Gong Gong guiding us
We are all suited up and ready to go!
Our fellow committees with their imbalance raft haha
1.2.3 ! 1.2.3!! 1.2.3!!!
Peaceee to the cam :p
The imbalance raft. Haha Kimsiuu flying up and sai meng at the another side, butt inside of the water. YP was like having lotsa fun sitting there.
We were dead tired but capturing the moment was a must! Our team started as first but ended up last. Lack of teamwork! :(( but anyway just a small competition, as long as we have fun!
Make way for the raft. Parking time
After that Pak Ngah taught us about water safety and how to rescue our friends or ourselves despite the fact we cant swim. It was (Y) (Y) (Y) We really dont have to know how to swim to 'move' ourselves in the water. Yp was really scared. I accompanied her the second time. Then, all of us were given 10 mins to play in the water.
Closing
Funny and touching at the same time. Since the committees were running low in budget, the prizes were quite cheapstake. hahaha but it didnt really matter, it gave us a good laugh.
I found out that many of them were like me, last minute decision. Most of them went because their friends needed participants despite having exams the next day. Many of them werent CSS yet they were there. Thats the bond.
Somehow this was a special camp, a camp that gives quite a scary after-camp-fever. I wasnt talking much to everyone, more to Elaine and my groupmates. Great to know some of them. One small thing that I was quite scared during the camp was the awkward silent moment in my group. Every other groups were so damn noisy and our group was quiet. Not like we cant talk. We just didnt talk as much as the rest. It was a nerve-wrecking moment to be there and say nothing looking at each other, I was like trying to act busy with Elaine to make myself feel better. SO SCARY!! Anyhow, we shy shy LOLOL.
Photo sessions before heading back!
Ah MOOI! (Y) (Y) (Y) :D
