Sec. 1 camp

That *groans* camp just ended today...phew! I'll just cut short all the stuff about the camp so u wont be bored with my complaints...lol

1st day
Venue: CDANS (Civil Defence Association for National Servicemen) country club
Complaints: 1) teachers got to sleep in the chalet (waa got air-con!!). And they didnt even haf to pay a single cent! :(
2) Not enough time for the High Elements (its basically a high-rope course)
3) Food stinks. We got nothing but lousy vegetables and barely any meat! Dun even haf eggs. No drinks even 4 lunch! (had to drink tap water) Even when we had the drinks it was so diluted it tasted like plain water.
Summary: I was in grp 26. thankfully everyone was from 1N so we knew each other. We named ourselves the Weevils! (sounds familiar? KY).
Anyway after we set up our tents we played sum common problem solving games (like the one where u link up every1's hands and try to unentangle ourselves. we cheated tho :P)
Then we had sum team-building exercises (u know wat i mean). Finally, the thign every1 was waiting for: high ropes challenge! But there was so little time we cud onli do one component (bah). anyway i realised i was not that scared of heights (yah altho my legs were shaking a little). i feel so sorry for Jia Kun who was behind me. He was just about to go up when the activity ended! many of the others also didnt get a chance. Poor them.

2nd day
Venue: Chinese Gardens
Complaints:
1) teachers still got to sleep in air-conditioned cabins!
2) teachers slack (they didnt trek with us except for Mr Liew-but he didnt haf to carry any heavy luggage cos his was all in the car!)
3) bathing stinks! (more details in the summary)
2) food stinks (no explanation needed)
Summary: At least breakfast was good. We got some char kuay teow wif an egg. After that we had to TREK from CDANS (in Bukit Batok) to Chinese Gardens (Jurong). Thats a long way to walk under the hot sun. lukily the thing at turf city run didnt repeat itself.
The environment at chinese gardens was even worse. all grass wif biting ants and "flying" spiders and hardly and concrete. wahhz.
anyway the water activities this time were fun (however dirty). We started off with learning boring songs and map orienteering. at first we were pissed but later we realised how lucky we were. the other grps had to do that wif soggy cloothes and shoes!
Later, the excitement of the day: water activities. 1st activity: raft-building. all we got were ropes, 4 lousy tires and 4 poles. and we had to paddle our raft across a muddy lake! nobody's raft was able to stay on the surface and sunk halfway/disintegrated. at least ours didnt disintergrate. i did much of the rope tying (i was a scout b4). during our "test", the whole thing came loose and the 4 ppl on it got wet. whoops! not enuff ropes. we "borrowed" sum frm other grps and our raft eventually worked. but every1 still got wet and muddy. it was fun anyway :)
2nd activity: dragon-boating. it isnt as fun as canoeing tho. and we cudnt capsize the boat :p
and the worst part of the day: BATHING. omg. If u haf a weak heart skip to the next paragraph. so we had to "mass bathe" wif ONLY our underwear on. sum guy wif a hose sprayed water on us. that stinks (literally too). so it was like, we were bathing in the OPEN wif nuttin but a canvas sheet overhead. i hope no unsuspecting tourists passed by. and we had to endure gravel in our shoes. i wont go into details. for pervertic stuff go to nicholas's blog. he has a yellow and contaminated mind.
Sleeping: nuttin special except that Nic and KY were having s** in the tent. told u tt guy's perverted. i wont go into details.

3rd day (today)
No complaints
Yay! our camp finally ended. the Weevils didnt win anything tho :( and breakfast was nice wif char kuay teow amd a chicken wing.

Things i learnt: 1) Qi En is like a sissy. during the high elements, when he was being lowered, he was making cc noises. 2) nicholas is dam pervertic 3) teachers are so priviledged 4) HCIS ppl are brats (majority at least). They scolded the teachers "bus thirds" behind their backs becos they had drinks and we didnt. one even said: "不用紧，我回家去跟爸爸讲就好了。” Ya, their parents are rich, but money and everything u kno. 5) Yu Xuan is also a brat. always gets in trouble.

So i can conclude that we paid $75.40 for this but didnt even get half the worth of it...
Calculations: 400 (bare minimum) x $75=$30 000++ Food: $3500 (maximum) Rental of land, chalets: $7500 Equipment: $8000 Transport: $1000
Total: $20000 Profit: $10000 ++

I wonder how the RI/ACS boys are gettin on in their camps...they may be smirking at us rite now.
