the Campfire, the Toilet, the Tent, the Flood, the Food

the campfire was possibly the climax of the camp. i think i enjoyed it quite a bit. we got barbecue by the restaurant in nirwana. but the barbecue sucked. the lamb was overcooked, the chicken was undercooked and the fish was oily and overcooked. the fried rice was too plain and the sauce was too salty. and the orange juice ran out quite quickly, esp since they let the girls queue first.
i think what made the campfire fun was them masters of ceremony, yewei and some girl. the games were all quite cool, especially when for some reason a lot of people were damn horny. keep having all sorts of innuendos.
we started by playin some game where the mc said some phrase and each group sent a member up. the sentence would then be completed and the group whose member fits best wins. the first was the longest, and they sent foong up. haha damn funny. then prettiest they sent syafiq and aaronchee. haha. prettiest pose in the end, and their poses were quite gay.
pickup lines were damn funny. basically it was mr sha v yewei on the girl mc. sha had lots of cool pickup lines and the only attempt yewei made was a feeble one. then he came up with the super sick one. girl, sit on my lap. let us talk about the first thing that pops up. what the hell lah. thenfor the next 10 mins or so everyone was telling sick pickup lines like the is your dad a farmer cos ur good at raising cocks and the one about my new harddrive, which is neither 3.5 in nor floppy. turned damn porn. but some girls were either too innocent or acting innocent, were visibly disgusted.
campfire indi items were up next. most were just spastic since the groups didnt prepare, but some were quite funny like ali tanjims encouraging the heart where two girls formed a heart and he was like getting people to cheer heart kemama. some parodies were quite good. i think the facils were a lil unhappy bout them.
5Bs was the bomb. theirs was full of innuendo. basically it took the storyline of superheroes trying to defeat mojo jojo played by anwar. anwar basically acted liek an idiot by flashing a torch to his face and saying mojo jojo in a damn spastic way at every intermission.
so the first superhero to go up was daniel wu i think, as spiderman. and so they go, he shoots white stuff far and all over the place. something along these lines. but most people still didnt get the innuendo. anyway mojo jojo had too much mojo this guy just got owned.
then the second to go up was flash, by yichao. basically this flash just keeps flashing, and he loses in a flash. cos mojo jojo had too much mojo.
then the guys all got defeated so there was a superhero conference where they got two girl superheroes. one could blow and one could suck. i tornado and typhoon. sth liddat, but despite their blowing and sucking abilities they couldnt own the mojo.
now they hold another conference and decided that the way they can own mojo jojo is by getting guys and girls to attack him. and nope, not spiderman flash and the blower and the sucker to go together, but syafiq. and mojo jojo was defeated. damn corny lah. but i think lotsa ppl loved it.
5c 5d and 5e did a song sung to the tune of Singapore Town. mostly yelins work, which i thought was fantastic.
after that we had some candle thingy where all the ccals stood in a circle and had candles and they talked some crap sang the batch song and school song. all for show. i think many thought it was a pr thing by the councillors.

the toilets were quite lousy. there was no partition for the showers, but im not complaining. most swimming pool toilets in singapore dont have partitions anyway. but some girls asked how we could bathe. well, just bathe. no one would look there, maybe except kern, who kept laughing at daniel for having a small dick. everyone else wore pe shorts.
the toilets were all squat and i never used a squat before. i dunno how to shit like that. lol. there was no toilet paper and no flushing system. have to fill up a pail and scoop water to flush down. needless to say the place was a mess. pour too little and the stuff would not wash down, pour too much and the water splashes all over and u get a sick mess.
we couldnt wear footwear into the toilet, but cos our legs would have some sand/soil the floor would be dirty and as we walk out we would inevitably step on some of it, so we would have to wash our feet again when we step out of the toilet. troublesome i must admit.
on the last night, there was some swarm of insects that converged at the camp cos some smart aleck switched on the lights at the tarp/basha to check on ppl. the insects somehow shed their wings and the whole toilet floor was really covered with wings. quite disgusting.

we could only built our tents on the first evening. by then the sky was quite dark and we were all exhausted. we were given some inclined area to pitch our tents. basically the guys were given an area the size of a football pitch and a half to look for an auspicious area to pitch his tent. there was hardly any area that was not inclined, and some idiots really chose extremely steep areas. my tent was also on uneven ground, but relatively gentle terrain. beside ian and liqian's tent. quite a good area, cos beside the red fire extinguisher and quite near the foot of the inclined plane so quite easy to get to the assembly area. some spastics went all the way to the top. if they want to go toilet at night quite gg, esp since there are pools of water along the way that u might step into if ur not careful enough.
6 men in a tent was quite comfortable, except that there was a rock under the tent that we never noticed. so quite hard to sleep and andrew was forced to a corner cos jem didnt want to sleep on the rock. dunnos.
2nd night, after the heavy downpour in the afternoon, water pooled at the base of the tent. this happened cos the tent can only be zipped from the apex to the base but cannot be sealed at horizontal like the mosquito net zip. so some water would splash in, and the water that splashed in actually pooled at the base, everybody's tent has at least a bit pooled like that. quite dumb actually. luckily we didnt get a swimming pool like 6 or 7 tent groups. but we moved people out to other tents so only 4 slept in the tent the second night, and the tent was quite comfy. lol.

the flood as mentioned above happened on the second day. not exactly a flood actually. what happened was that we were stoning around the tent after lunch preparing for the next activity when it started to drizzle. the drizzle turned into a rain, and the rain turned into a downpour. basically by this time all of us not in our tents (we were koping biscuits at the shelter) were all wet. then there was thunder and lightning and suddenly u can see muddy water flowing down from the top of the plane. quite scary actually, cos the foot, where we were having biscuits started pooling. so the teachers made the decision of evacuating us to the foyer which was properly built. we ran in the rain all the way there. i ran there with juanhe, quite fun cos we talked crap all the way there. and he was worrying about getting struck by lightning. cos he was taller. anyways everywhere was flooeded and tents became swimming pools.

the food at the camp was quite ok. except too little vegetables was provided. too much rice was provided. and the meat was a little overcooked and quite hard. but other than that no complaints. i place the food between obs (good) and class camp (average). the only major problem was the lacxk of cleanliness. the utensils provided were oily and disgusting. we could wash them when in camp, but sometimes when were posted out we couldnt. and the cups for coffee and tea in the morning were extremely greasy. anyways the coffee and tea were just brown sugar water. not worth drinking.

and thats about all i have to say about the camp.
