Yo... Back from the UG camp and all those other stuff. I've been real busy these few days, like on wednesday was at botanic garden then rushed back to czps to help promote nush with mr koh doing most of the talking, and then went back to nushs to do duty for the SYSF or something like that. I was like basically handling the PA for mr koh and then had 5 mins to prepare some 2 min speech for the students. Jaryl went along too. Some people would say that whenever I talk in front of people, I'm too Singlish. Well, I guess thats quite true, I'd better work on it. Maybe whenever I speak Singlish too excessively, I should get someone to remind me to mind my language. Oh ya, mr koh is nice :) He brought me back to nushs and along the way he treated me to macs! So nice right..... Well, my duty for the SYSF was food duty, which is basically doing nothing at first and when people come, you promote the food like siao. In the end we still had a whole chunk of food left uneaten.

After that I went to my dad's office and took a short nap there, around 2 hours lol. We went to Peach Garden to celebrate my dad's birthday. I heard there was a telescope there but I didn't get to try it... The food there was excellent though. It was real fun talking around with my siblings and parents. Long time since we did that. Reached home around 11 plus. I realised that I had not packed for my camp yet lol. I was rushing all my stuff and ended up sleeping around 12.

Camp was quite ok, those kind of not boring yet a little fun type of camp. I must admit there was a good effort put in by the organisers for this camp. They worked really hard and I must say I appreciate it. First day of the camp was basically setting up of the tents which we scouts finished in a whiff. The girls guides were quite slow in pitching their tent, probably because they didn know lol. Their tent was like, ancient. It had wooden pegs compared to our metal pegs and no floor mat. So it was quite pathetic. But we scouts should had gone help them. Well, never mind. lol. Dinner was after that, not that great though, what do you expect in a camp. War games which consisted of throwing water bombs was expected to last for quite a while but ended after 5 min because of lack of water bombs, so we ended up playing capture the 'fag'. We chose our 'fag', clement :) It was real rough during the game, I remember there was one SJAB guy pushing all of us away! The rules could have been better there, like if you touch an opposition he has to go back to base etc. Went to bathe and sleep after that.

Woke up at 530 the next morning and prepared for PT. PT was basically quite bullsh*t. We did some very light streching which missed alot of parts, 10 pumpings and 500m of jogging. After that went for kayaking. We were quite lucky we were going out first, cause we didn have to wash the kayak after that. I was kayaking with teck lim and our paddles went colliding lol. Lucky we didn capsize, on purpose or not on purpose. Rafting all the kayaks together was fun. Basically all the kayaks line up in one line, we hold onto each other and slack, and watch us drift too lol. After bringing our kayaks back to shore we went to slack in the water, like just float around and push randy's kayak. After washing up etc I went to take a short nap. I conveniently overslept a little, sorry guys. We went to discuss our campfire item afterwards. At first, we wanted to do some story about bananas and ghosts you find the the four different types of cemetries, i.e. Chinese, Muslim, Indian, Eurasian. Our moral of the story was apparantly racial harmony lol. But when we mentioned that we wanted a "hantu te-tek" in the story, the girl guides freaked out. Because.... go find out yourself :) After more discussion, we settled on modified fairytales featuring clement-tea as the lead actor/actress. The story was about clement-tea and his failure in love lol. Basically it was snow white, rapenzel, little red riding hood, henzel and gretel, and some story i cant remember. Yew Chun then came and gave us nice chocolate to eat.

Outdoor cooking was next. Randy was trying real hard to set up the fire but apparently we got owned by the other group of scouts lol. Yew chun saw this and was like quite disappointed with us. But ah well, after that our fire was bigger than theirs. Randy and daniel soon had to go off to prepare the campfire, so I was the most senior in my 'fire-group', so I was the one in charge of maintaining the fire. Well, I managed to maintain the fire but got no style one. I was like anyhow putting in wood into the fire to burn. At least we cooked quite a lot of food, like 7-8 packets of maggi and 2 mess tins of vegetables. We went to the campfire after cleaning up. It was quite sad, like they got not enough kerosene to start the fire. However, all was solved with the introduction of solid fuel lol. It was like the most cheapskate method but oh well, at least the fire started. The fire was real fierce at first, then it died down in like 20-25 minutes. All the while, we just sang songs and the different UGs performed. Well, shall not really go into details but I have to say that randy is dam good narrator. Most of the storyline was made up on the spot by him, which was quite amusing too. Went to sleep the earliest, as usual :D

Today, clayton, chong wei, randy, clement and me went off early, which means we miss packing up. Well, sorry guys again, but I have a legitemate reason. Went to school to take a bath. The showers in school are so much better than those at camp christine (our campsite). Its like 2 to 3 times larger and the shower was much stronger. So those camping in school should appreciate this! Well, the school had a soccer competition but I could not make it, cause of the archeaology thingo. Heard that we were not bad, so good job! While waiting for some time cause it was still too early, we got hold of lian han's phone. Just ask any soccer guys and you'll know how horny lian han is. Thanks to clayton, I dropped at sommerset when douby gaut was nearer to the National Muesum for the archeaology course. In the end I had to walk 20 minutes with a camp bag and call my dad for directions. Well, I don't exactly blame clayton, since I chose to trust him. Well, I was so sleepy that I could not really pay attention to the guy conducting the course. It was quite fun overall, though it was tiring to carry my camp bag to fort canning hill to view some exhibits and the place was darn cold.

I just went home after that via mrt. I didn get a sit so I had to carry my camp bag all the while... The moment I reached home I just took a nap. My mum woke me up at 7 to go to my aunt's house to celebrate the full month of my cousin's child, which means I'm an uncle already. Actually I was already one quite some time ago. After dinner etc went back home, gonna to sleep soon! So I guess that sums up my busy few days, and I gotta go! Ciao.
