{ 25.1.09 }
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. In my aunty's house blogging. I have finally decided to blog CAMP!!! I think I should start the story if not there will not be an ending to this blog. Cause I don't think it will have at all. All the memory are coming to me piece by piece. I'll have a hard time figuring what things happen on when and how to construct a good and proper sentence.
Day 1:
Woke up later than normal because daddy promised to bring me to school that day. So on that particular day, I, Gerlissa Chan, woke up at 6 in the morning. Honestly, I was supposed to wake up earlier because I, Gerlissa Chan, had to reach school to
learn THE DANCE. Ballroom dancing!! Hate it.. So
touchy(may I add). I was so unorganised for that day. I promise myself on the way there to tell MJ that I had to do the dancing stuff and in the end, I, Gerlissa Chan, was in the car to occupied with something
completely useless. Ya, and guess what? MJ came with this sentence when she found me. "Gerlissa, I hate you manz! You make me wait for you at my lift there." So, I apologised lah of course. Then Ms Koh send me sms say that she will be 5 minutes late. So to be fare because she was going to do me a favour, I ran up to staff room to wait for her. What that happened was that she was a little too late so the Sec 2s had to assemble in the hall already. So, since
my sms-ing skills not so good, I asked Kim to help me(: Went down for morning assembly.
Qi Yee thanks for the sleeping bag case!! So blah blah blah and reached camp side. The campsite is like just beside my Primary 5 camp side lah.. Sirimbum and just beside Jalan Beterah?? (totally forget the spelling) Than Melvin, the camp chief did his blabbering all the way until we were sent to our huts. My is hut 12. Shared huts with Faith girls. Later rushed down to assemble at "parade square" for lunch at 11.45am is it? Or is it 12.45pm? Anyway, I just remembered that they gave us 25 minutes free time. So people doing high elements and trekking can change into their slacks and so.. Did you know the
food there wasn't so bad. In fact I kind of think that it is nicer than outside food. Only for those main dishes, I mean. Their
liao sucks like nobody's business.. My first session was
station games. May I add, the first station is not so to my liking. Maybe the second. Can't remember. The station master is like so bad with handling stuffs. Little bit only
deduct points..
Don't know how he became a exco member. And guess what? Our whole class was like say
"jia you" and until I got tired of it and translated it to English
"add oil". I think MY class knew that by being supportive, we can have more points HAHA. MY class IS smarter than what you think lah okays.. A total of
six station games. I only remeber a few of it like Erika's station. Walking on the rope palms on palms then palm on palm and the other holding on to a spoon and a ping pong ball on it. Spider web. The on which cut my leg becuase I landed on my knee first on the rock. So stupid right? The crosses which Russell came in to play. He supper good hopper lah. Hop hop hop then reach the cross already. But never mind! We got GOOD plan. Everyone on the border of the square move in circular motion. So smart. But then, everyone did not get the message than some from the center of the square moved lah. WASTED!!! Nitro-crossing. The first station. Or is it the second? Then the what I call it the "caterpillar". Darren doesn't know how to differentiate right from left. Totally pissed me off. Moving the marble form one end to the other using the plastic casing. First we last. Then I could tell that Sylvia was like so pissed with us. Second try can't talk. Then Nigel was like
"Don't worry.. Nigel KOR KOR here. Don't need worry one. " We cheated. I admit it. Since Sylvia wasn't looking, we took the advantage. ShiXuan was QUITE lenean. But she warned us out loud. Sylvia looked at us but didn't figure it out! So lucky. Six stations. So I DID manage to remember all of them(: So good!! Bathe. Dinner our way to 7.30pm. Cannot stand it. Sit at last table. Collect food last, wash plate last. Plate with less food. The Planning Committee had to give up their food because there was seriously not enough for everyone. Beaunice came back with a plate full of
liao only. No rice at all. Kind hearted Sylvia sacrificed her rice. Maybe she knew that the school would provide them with proper food a little later. 1and 1/2 hours for camp fire preparation. Danced away. Supper had curry puff and Milo. Curry puff = 45%food 55%air Defines AWFUL. True to be, the Planning Committee had chicken rice. Whatever.. A short briefing and then turn in for the night. At first it was like so warm than in the middle if the night, it was so cold. Had to zip up the sleeping bag. The body losses heat during the process of sleeping. Science..
Day 2:
Woke up at 5.45am. Not bad luh huh? It is like way later than my normal waking up time. I get a 45minutes longer sleep and I am grateful for it(: Assembled at parade square at 6.30am. Actually, Eugene wanted it to be earlier so that we have time to prepare for the dance. But then no time cause the earliest we can wake up is like 5.45am and toilet queue is not short and so not nice. Breakfast had beehoon and Milo. Sad no second round. I know I'm going to sound a bit dumb lah but I'll say. Even if can go for second round I also don't want. I was like so angry with the way the PC organise things lah. Is like they don't know how to regulate the flow. Alway let the people infront get their food FIRST and wash their plates with plain water because they are the FIRST. I was like telling MJ "Ask anyone of our PSLs here I really cannot take it" I complained to Vanessa. Remember that well enough because of some reason. Will elaborate later. Second session was high elements. Played a few. First one was the "flying thing" swing here swing there then got trolley to catch. The boys were like. "Pain or not? Pain or not?" Than when it was Richard's turn a bird flew past so Nigel said this "You know why not pain? Cause his one fly away already. See!" Next was the broken bridges. I didn't do the bridge. I did the log. So lame lah. Luckily I not boy I tell you, they pull my harness so tight that I think the sole of my shoe could not even reach the log. Next was Chritophe and someone (sorry can't remember who) did the slant log thing. Not bad leh. They managed to climb all the way to the top. I was supporter for Isabelle during her turn. Adele leg cramp half way.. So funny lah. Did I mentioned Adele farted in the middle of the debrief for high elements. The atmosphere was like so silent then suddenly got on
"boooot" sound(: The other station was the tyre thing. Yingyi was not so successful with it.. Never mind lah.. At least you gave your best. And claps for Gerlissa who finished rock climbing.. Lunch had duty so did not finish the walking down wall exercise. I was so heart broken when I saw 4 trays of Beehoon going down the trash bag. Know still have so much food still don't want give us second round. Very wasteful. Not their money lah. Of cause they don't know how wasteful it is. Nevermind. We get
our food FIRST for the FIRST time.. I thought it was because we did duty. But it wasn't. Elaborating it later. Trekking next. It was the most fun and most meaningful game among all. I like the game where we had to fold the mat into half and make everybody step on it. When the instructor was about to ask how long we can sustain there, we all fell:) SWEET. Had to restart. I hate the second position because we had to cling on to one another for 5MINUTES and I was holding on to Jerruey!!!! Irritated. At that moment, I was thinking that if I had just 1 wish, i would wish for a good breath of fresh air. Just one will do. Parade square assembling again. Dismissed us for bathe. Vanessa only gave us, the girls, 25 minutes to bathe. We did not manage time well. The boys had to come to our hut to rush us. Not so sweet.. Change to our camp tee. This year's was not so good. They did not even wrote the date on our shirt or even the level. prepare a bit here and there and then
"dined" at the canteen. We went to collect food FIRST and washed plate FIRST. This has got seriously nothing to do with duty anymore. Someone COMPLAINED!! Thanks to who. Vanessa you right? Ask you don't want answer.. Saw PC preparing for campfire. I like the sec 1s one. Fire slide down then suddenly fire so big. Ours was started by Ms SLL giving a speech. Boring. Ivan Teo was MC for the night. Not on MC but was MC. He tie his hair look so funny. Ya, bubbles??He sang the first sentence of the song to make it an intro for us to go on. We scored not bad la. 9 from Ms Soh Lai Leng, Ms Angel Lim,Ms Ng Bee Ling and a special 10 from Ms Laura Lim. I love her!
Day 3:
Day 3 defines SWEET. Everything was so smooth, so nice and perfect. We turn in to sleep later than the previous night. Woke up later too! 7am-assemble in parade square. PT and dance the MASS dance while a class was doing canteen duty. I think the dance was created by Beaunice sister somehow. The song was Dancing Queen from MaMaMia the movie. Had breakfast. This time, we went to collect food first again! Miraculous.. The perfect thing was we can go for the THIRD round. Sad that MinJun missed it because she had to leave early for Netball competition on this day(Day 3 of camp) Her teacher insisted that they leave early so they can sleep well for the competition. In the end, they made no difference. But, the Girls from HIHS did their best right?? People like Eugene, Justin would go for third round. Actually not so sure about Eugene. Maybe he is trying to impress someone...Oooo Eugene.. Than Melvin kept calling our class for that "oie oie" cheer. First class to wash plates! Yes!! Clean plates home. Had area cleaning. So lucky don't need do toilet.. Our class had a perfect day and it consists the easiest duty- Litter picking.. Simple. Than had to assemble in parade square again for PRIZE PRESENTATION. You know, I had actually felt that we were the best class. There were like no doubts at that time.. And it came to live that we were actually best class! Nice job Diligence. Then, it came to my mind how well Diligence of every year and every level did. You know 1Diligence '07 was best class 2Diligence '08 best class. But 1 Diligence'08 wasn't best class.. Our class was the 1st class to break the chain. SAD. But, 2 Diligence '09 best class 1 Diligence '09 ALSO best class. Good lah! 2 Charity produced best female camper, 2Joy produced best male camper, 2Sincerity (is it?) produced best PSL. Congratulations..Went back to school. Eugene so
kanchiong. Cannot wait to go back class to frame that certificate up.. LAME. Suzie was like "No no. You guys want to go up like that? So messy. Go back and change and take a rest. Tomorrow you all still coming to school." Whatever.. I think this post is long enough already.. Shall stop!

{ 9.1.09 }
Let me OFFICIALLY announced that this would be my FIRST post for 2009 manz! I can't believe how much of a slaker am I.. What english is that? Nevermind ya..
Since this is my first post, I think I owe it back to 1st January. So I am going to try post something on every day starting with today then slowly going back 1 day back at a time.
TODAY:
I finally found Kim's picture. (BTW it's jo's stead). Not only just her, but her WHOLE family(;
Seph, I know what you're going to say so keep it ya? I shall
"da xiao bao gao" to JO...shua to make life more... for you(: Ok, I give you 1 chance. If you see this post before CNY and tell me not to tell, then I SHAN'T ok? See I so good right? Can I post her picture on my blog too??? I think it'll have more readers too you know.. And I finally finished To Forget You. Honestly, I was not a really good book. The whole story was rather stiff in a way or another. There wasn't any suspense in the story . And lastly the book was costly. I am having faith in Destiny Cries as Low Kay Hwa became popular after writng that book and moreover it was a huge hit and had to wait for a reprint to get that book! Did I mentioned that I KILLED antS today. Not one or two but the whole lot. I feel a oinch of guilt... Maybe not I feel guilty ALL over. I'm a murderer. Don't stay clase to me. I kill! I had just wish I would go back to that time or just hope that if I were to come to such incident again, I could think thrice before doing anything.
YESTERDAY:
Some teachers (for specific people to know who) came in to our class to ruin things. I know I'm bad at vocabs and I know I should use more powerful words. Made my friend cry. Who are you to do that? My mummy will never make me cry intentianally you are only just a teacher.. Some SL almost got badge off his SL badge too because of that person. Luckily he came out all in ONE piece. Went off early because no one had staplers as a result, we accomplished NOTHING for that day..
THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY:
What happened?
LET'S GO BACK TO 1 JANUARY:
I can't just accept the fact that my first second and the first minute and the first hour and the first week and the first month of the year IN THE TOILET struck with a severe and an acute tummy ache. So sad! And JoSEPH how dare you not turn up! I spent hours planning how to get KIM's picture from your phone and guess what? You didn't turn up! Irritated!x) All my effort went down the DRAIN. But hey, guess what now, I have her picture and not to mention it includes her WHOLE family and I don't have to give a single shit to get it(: Smart right??
