(no subject)
Right... woke up this morning believing that i would have to go collect freshly laid eggs after the alarm bell rang... The disturbing part was that i was honestly pretty much alert enough to reach over and snooze button my handphone, but not awake enough to wonder where the chickens in my bedroom had come from. Hrmm.
Anyway, i realised that i haven't told anyone the most amusing part of the camp - the fifth storey. *cue creepy music*
It turns out that in the building, there are four storeys - but the lift goes all the way to 5. There's nothing on the whole level but a single room that the lift opens up into - i think the rest of it is the roof. It really is pretty freaky - the lift doors open and there's nothing but a small room there in front of you.
So they decide to use the 5th storey room in the fright night (sort of a campus wide haunted house at night), and it was preeetty freaky, i can tell you that. But that's not the story - that starts the next day.
I'm with my OG, about to head down for lunch or something, when somebody suggests that we check out the 5th storey for fun. You'd expect a pretty anticlimatic thing - we'd go up, stare at the (now) empty room, and come back down. Instead, we go up, the doors open, and we find ourselves faced with...
a GIANT
GLOWING
I (heart) U
spelled out in teacandles on the floor. :D
So, all of us tumble stunned out of the lift and stare at the mysterious message. I was quite convinced that the seniors had done this on the premise that most people would go back up to sneak a peek, so they'd be surprised when they came back up. So... a bunch of us tiptoed across the words to check out what had been placed behind it - a box and a message rolled up in a bottle. We open the box, and discover a bottle of sweets. Then, we unroll the paper far enough to see the word 'dearie', before quickly rolling it back up and replacing everything. Quite unfortunately, we had stumbled across somebody's rather sweet declaration... So noting the freshly lit candles, we realised that the couple in question would probably be heading up soon, and we all kablooied out of there as fast as possible.
Back downstairs, everyone was squeeing about how romantic the whole gesture was (and debating over whether it was a guy or a girl whodunnit), when somebody declared - "Why don't we go back up and take a group picture?!" O_O For some reason, none of us could think of an objection - we all trooped back to the lift ("We'll just have to make it quick") and back up to 5.
I'm sure you can guess what happens next.. Well damn murphy, sure enough while we were milling around snapping shots and getting high on carbon dioxide, somebody notices the lift is moving up. Everybody turns to stare at the numbers, and silence falls... 3... 4... 5. Mass moment of panic, and everyone dashes to the walls -there's nowhere to hide! (it's instinctive... even though it doesn't make any sense, we all tried to sink into the walls.) The doors open, and the group smart alec yells out "SURPRISE!". Oh yeah. Some surprise, your romantic interlude suddenly has 11 people too many. While the girl just looks confused, the guy grimaces slightly, opens his mouth as if to say something, then reaches over and closes the lift door. (So it was the GUY!)
Feeling MASSIVELY guilty, we shamefully flee the scene and spend the rest of the day peering at similarly dressed people (it was a very brief glimpse of the couple) and wondering if they recognised us.
