WOW. just got back from the Zhonghua camp yesterday and i was whacked out for ELEVEN hours! slept at 2, woke at 1am, when all was dark and not a soul was in sight. haha. actually, i owe my disturbed sleep to mom, who woke me up for medicine. i have NO voice now. i was shouting the whole of the first day! like, leading my otherwise un-enthu group in cheers and everything. my group was 2N2 yellow! i was kinda skeptical bout taking 2N2 at first, cuz i presumed they would be more rebellious than the rest. it wasnt a misconception, but really, they could be darlings sometimes. =) they gave me seaweed, chewing gum and mentos.
the girls were especially nice. or maybe it was cuz i was nice to them (=p) so they couldnt find it in themselves to disrespect me. haha. the guys were okay too, but i was particularly PISSED during the blindfold game, cuz some guys didnt want to play and all, and it was a waste of time trying to get them to participate. wonder if i looked angry. oh well. i WAS. but i get over stuff.
ryan has this like, split personality. haha. sometimes, he's a really big help getting the group together, especially when i couldnt shout anymore. yet, he refuses to take part in the games sometimes, giving stupid excuses like how he's allergic to the freaking sun. PLUS he hurls vulgarities at the slightest things. i guess that goes for the rest of them. he's a good monitor, though. =)
my sec 3 facilitator partner, zainul, SO did not shout. his voice was perfectly fine throughout the entire camp. SO not helpful. and i shan't even MENTION the other sec 3 NCC facilitator. they were supposed to help me! but it felt as if i was doing everything on my own. but i didnt mind. =p although credit must be given to zainul, cuz i made him carry the game score card and cheer lyrics and other paper stuff. i dont like extra luggage =p
sebastian was fun and helpful. apparently, he's not exactly the model student. he told me mr eswaran once made him do 200 pushups and lotsa other physically demanding punishment stuff at one shot. i forgot what he did. and yesterday during breakfast, my pang asked to see dingyao. he came over to my table, asked who dingyao was, grabbed him by the collar, pushed him to the bench we were sitting on and snapped "why did you push ___!!!!!!!!" i forgot the victim's name. haha. then mr pang made him run to the G.O. in 5 seconds.
whats amusing was the number of people who came to our table asking what happened, after that. it was like a queue-up-to-get-the-juicy-details session. i got a very clear view of the incident, cuz i was sitting right beside him, and mr pang is not soft spoken. i remember dingyao splitting his chopsticks apart and was juuuust about to eat his noodles when he got well, collar-grabbed. WHOA. and ryan was like, 'bu yao kan, bu yao kan. mei you dong xi.' and told everyone to go back eating. haha. i think the whole table was in shock.
as i got to know, dingyao kicked a guy till his leg had to be bandaged. or maybe he kicked a guy when his leg was already in a bandage. i didnt get the facts right. haha. its kinda hard to think that these people could get up to such mischief, cuz the sides they displayed when i was with them definitely did not tally with the kind of behaviour they exhibited on other days. dingyao was helpful too. he helped open the drain flaps in the girls toilet, during area cleaning =p the other guys only decided to offer their services when miss loo walked by.
oh, one thing i found out during the camp is that sinyee and jia ling can be very fierce when they want to =p sebastian and grace told me, on different occasions, that 2N2 had no class spirit. damned right they dont. hahaha. my group, for instance. they only cheered when i told them to, or when i started a cheer. they needed to be led to do stuff. then again, they're only sec 2s. i didnt know sebastian was retained until he said so!
i dont really regret taking 2N2, cuz i got the inside stories of all the naughty stuff they did. haha. they snuck outta school twice, on both nights, and apparently, they had a 'feast' last night. they bought ice cream, sprite, spaghetti and lotsa stuff to bring to their bunk. they claimed they wanted to ask me along, but they couldnt find me. i was in the canteen! but anyway, at 430 i was asleep after playing bridge with huishan, pat and vinnie. haha. ooh, gotta go now. later, babes and dudes.
