OMG. Im back alive. The camp was really tough. Really really really tough. I didnt expect it to be THAT tough. But still i manage to come back alive.
Day 1
Met in PL then took a bus then took a bus to Anglican High.
Reached there and got lost straight away. Our entire company didnt know where to head to report.
Then we suspected that Anglican had too much water to spare. They had a freaking big waterfall and that we all were like WOW. AWESOME.
Then went over to concourse area to have uniform check before we fall in.
Had some problem and ms chang was so angry with those girls that didnt bring their service badges and they were sent home becos we cant attend the camp without the badge.
Then falled in with our bags beside.
OMG we banged so freaking loud. Till other companies were staring at us.
Then officers checked our bags and many of the girls got their things surrendered. Air pillows, fan and stuff.
Broken up into groups. REGINA AND VELDA were in my group with the girls from other conpanies.
The group was so freaking quiet. But ice breaker was fun although my grp was always the last. Haha. Made our flag and it was the nicest among all the grp. YAY:) We are called PYARR. Which means LOVE IN TAMIL. WHAO.
Session 1 was alright.
DRILL! Was terrible. Took group HEIWA. And there were freaking no response at all. Then the officer was standing beside me and screaming at them. She was like " when you commander ask you something, pls answer. IS THAT CLEAR??!! Omg i freaked out. And my officers calls me mam during drill. I was like HUH OMG. And it was hard to teach reporting when i myself isnt that sure either. But at least i have my mentoir to guide me. Shes called Baohui and she is very nice. Like seriously very nice. She helped me with lotsa things. We were being stared at while teaching. And Jolene and i guess that we didnt pass.
We had debrief and both of us showered late and had more time to shower than others. YAY.
Dorm inspection was terrible. Dun wanna talked abt it. We had to redo and redo our inspection for 7 times. Uniform was one of our biggest problem.
Slept at 2.
Day 2
I was suppose to wake up at 5.30 instead of 6.30 to plan drill with jolene. But both of us didnt wake up. I woke up at 5 and was like wth half an hour more then i went back to sleep and the whistle blew at 6.30. I was like OMG! ARHHHHHH. Then me and jolene ran out of our dorms and stared at each other. Then we were like go brush teeth first then plan!
Yea and 5bx was just terrible. Blame it on the big sch. we had to walk 10 mins from our dorms to their field okay. And i heard that their teachers had to drive from their staff rooms to their class. WOW. Terribly big. So we had to run around and around that big field. I suddenly felt like we were in prison and doing such tough training.
Breakfast was nice. I love their Peanut butter. It was ultimate nice.
Drill again. But they were better. Taught stage 1 and there was this girl that couldnt stop laughing at me. Ahya. But their bangs were quite okay as said from the offficers. And ms esther lim was staring at my contingent and following me wherever i went becos she was worried that without Baohui, i will get bullied by the 4th coy girls in that contingent. Amanda, nicole and belinda. And ms lim was very angry at one of them becos she was screaming at me and kept going: sheryl HO. And she told ms chang abt it. Haiya.......tsk.
Session 2 was fun although i joined late. We had sweets to eat. Ms margaret Lee sure had the tatic of keeping us awake. Did some grp work.
Next was House Agape. OMG it was so fun!!!! Ms chang asked if the game was fun and she was surprised to hear that i said: FUN. Cos she knows im a person which games dont interest me unless its fun.
House Agape is a game wherebywe have to buy our land either big or small and build our own house. And in order to buy the materials to build our house, we have to work to earn money. The labours were DRILL, ART, and many others. So of course i kept going to the drill station as that was the only place i can earn a lot. So i earned around a thousand dollars on drill. Yay. So the game is that wrong commands will be given and those that react, will get out. So i was like okay....... and kept earning.
Session 3 was funny. Ms lee gave us Lollipops to keep us awake. And indeed all of us learnt alot of being a leader through the sessions.
Then OUTDOOR COOKING! it was fun. We had to bid for our food with the points we earned and my group got fishballs and crabmeat. The other grps had sardines and others. Which they hated. So we were cooking and we have to cook for the officers too. We had to finish up everything and the food was nice.
Devotion was funny. Geraldine went up to act and all of us were laughing like mad.
SURPRISE was just the ultimate coolness. OMG it was the one that we had so much fun.
We had a mass dance and we all went on high. Esp the officers. she was like ur buttock must shake abit arh. We all were like laughing really badly. But it was so fun. We went to split up into our companies and we all went crazy. And we had so much fun with the officers that joined us: ms heng, ms chang, bianca, peixuan. I just felt like saying Thank you so much for everything that happened in this camp. Without u guys, we wouldnt have had so much fun, scoldings and we wouldnt learn so much.
So we had 50 mins to shower with 3 pails for each grp. Firstly was an hour but some of the girls were irressponsible and left the pails behind on the first day so the officers cut down 2 pails from each grp and 10 mins too. The girls from other companies were very angry but 4th coy were like : Whapiang heng arh. Cos we thot they would punish us with changing into full-u. So i just felt that the officers are being really nice. 50 mins to shower for the entire grp was just so much time. If its our camp, we would only have half an hour at most. So we were praying and thank god for everything.
Toilet inspection was horrible. I was running 2 sides of the toilets.
Re-inspected 6 times.
Ran down to mop the entire canteen and felt really hungry and tired. And they didnt want to feed us supper and so we mopped till 2 and went to sleep at around 3 and had to wake up at 5.30 the next day. I told bianca that we were really hungry and she gave us her share of biscuits. So nice of her..... i bet she was hungry too.
Day 3
Woke up and had to change into our full-u and d0 dorm inspection
Again, had to redo it lotsa times.
Quiet time was meaningful.
Breakfast was again nice. MY PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!:)))))
Sessions were given by ms chang. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep.
Devotion, i fell asleep and the officers too. I kept nodding. I was trying to control but still, i too tired.
Had evaluation by looking though the pics. Had so many of my pics. Becos ms lee says its fun to take me. Then we headed home.................... finally.
Overall, the camp was alright. Had so much fun, so much scoldings but in the end, we learnt as much. Other companies couldnt take this toughness but i guess all of us did well. I was tired to the extreme cos me and jolene were the ones doing most of the jobs. Running here and there to help in everything. My grp was quiet and there was this girl who cried becos she lost the pails and her water bottle. So i was comforting her and in the end found everything. But we forge many friendships. In the bus heading back to sch, me and jolene were sleeping. Darn tired. We slept at the same time as the officers and had to make sure all the girls sleep first before we can sleep and finishing up the food for people.
After this camp, i've put down the title of a DI. Both of us failed in experience. Officers said that: its not that u guys are not good but just too young and lack in experience.
So i still wanna thank those that helped the both of us to be such good DI-to-be once. At least we had learnt many stuff throughout the stages that we have to pass just to get this badge but yea.... wanna thank ms chang for always being with us, helping us in the camp and everything. We have indeed learnt many things and found that its tough to be a DI.
Thanks officers.....we'll miss you guys.
