i've just realised something very very bad, that i've almost fully abandoned my ellejay.
): no i shan't be so evil and abandon my poor poor ellejay! GAHHHH. rachel's mean.
nevermind. okay so yes this is the full summary of the track camp. (: which i took really long to write.

TRACK CAMP
30th MAY - 1st JUNE
(: HEHHH.
3/5 of the time was spent on activities
1/10 of the time was spent on washing up
1/10 of the time was spent stoning around
another 1/5 of the time was spent playing CARDS (:
looking at wanyi's POV
sounds much more different from mine. right okay i shall take some extracts
from her post? okay yay.



did icebreakers. something to do with toilet roll papers, got my mortal (beam. a secfour -hint-). then after that went out to plaza sing for lunch at some place shiqian suggested. yes okay my group was group three an it compromised of shiqian weiren wanyi sing yean jerm ruixin cheryl chloe (sec four) and me. and well yes they were really funny though most of the times it was jumpers and runners.

okay so we went out and shopped at a supermarket (i forgot which one it was) for like ONE HOUR trying to like buy food for breakfast. when we came back, back door was locked and we had to go ALL THE WAY from the bus stop to the main gate, through the foyer and INTO the gym when if the back gate was opened we could have just walked like 10 steps. thankyou mr security guard, thankyou ALOT. >_< then yes we stoned around then went for training at bishan stadium. yunhui and i finally had a step on the sacred grass that day due to injuries.

after training, xinqi cheryl and i had philsophy talk. people wondered where we were coz everyone went back down. eeps. right okay then we went to j8 to eat. yummy. right then we went back to school. didnt want to waste money shopping or whatsoever weird crazy stuff. yeahh. we went to the food court to eat and met jan andrea and people there. yes then after that we spent quite a long time in ntuc. bought alot of... well junk and fruits etc. was fun especially counting and stuff. and buying stuff for mortals (asin picking for cheryl) yes i bought ice mountain water bottles. they were like 35 cents per bottle. which is like really cheap? yeah so we lugged four bottles back. (: HMM what else did we do there? thinkk. ahh okay nevermind.

=S right then OH THIS IS STUPID. we took an MRT back to orchard mrt, and just for the FUN OF IT, we all decided to walk back from orchard to school. and like it was a cross junction, we crossed each road about like 9 times, and URGH. we finally gave up and decided to take a bus back (how stupid) yes right then we had to run back incase the door locked. mm then continued playing daidi and bridge.

RIGHT okay then we went up to the blocks to watch a movie. some weird movie with people breakdancing which didn't seem to interest some of us so 'back to playing cards' (: UHUH then okay scary part.

after the movie, we were 'supposed' to have senior and junior mentoring sessions. THEN. then andrea gan and mus asked us who wanted to go first. we thought it was just listening to them crap so we just waved our hands eagerly. we were the second group, me ruixin and xinqi. YES okay then as we went out, i dont know how but andrea got to the topic about ghosts. then they all started telling us haunted stories about ms buckle and how her potrait would wink and she would hoist the flag at 12 midnight because she was in guides in rgs, and the ks chee theatre, about a girl with sixth sense in the school seeing a girl staring outside the window, about this triangle at the ks chee and URGH it was just freaky. so ruixin was still pretty enthu and was like 'tell us more ghost stories!' then andrea was like 'nah, better not, what happens if you get scared.' ruixin kept insisting that she wasn't scared. so andrea was like calmly walking and saying 'well then will you be scared if i suddenly did THIS' and she just suddenly spun around and we FREAKED (because it was really late at night and well yes we were listening to ghost stories). right okay then to the squash courts. huishan acted weird and she wrote on a piece of paper 'she's back. take care of the sec ones.' suddenly there was laughing, and she tore it out. so andrea and mus were like shocked and asked us to hold hands, kept telling us she's back, she's back, keep running, don't look back. and in between their conversation was like 'she's back, from last year.' huishan was saying 'go tell ms lim' then a teacher came out. ms lim or something. and they told her about it, she was like 'huh?' then mus and drea just sighed and said 'she's a new teacher, she didn't know what happened last year' and we continued running. yes okay then suddenly we reached the bball courts. at the ventilators. janice and sing yean were there, and they looked stunned. (at this time i already thought it was pretty much a joke) RUIXIN KEPT SCREAMING AND MAKING XINQI AND I FEEL DOUBTFUL. hmph. yes okay then i kept telling ruixin 'its a joke, its a joke' she just didn't seem to listen and tighten her grip. and we were just panting away (from the running) suddenly andrea said again 'DON'T TURN BACK.' then we were like huh? andrea repeated 'I SAID DON'T TURN BACK. don't look behind at the j block panels behind you. dont, she's...' then they started running. we were like really scared then (it was like 12am, and we were running around clueless) and we ran to the part right infront of the water coolers, the empty space, where juen and sabby were. jan passed the piece of paper to juen, and juen read it, and the paper slowly dropped from her hand (that scene was like etched in my mind at that time) and well sabby was like 'huishan, where's huishan!' then she called huishan, put her on loudspeaker. huishan was kindof moaning. then suddenly there was loud laughter, and the phone was cut off, sabby screaming 'HUISHAN! HUISHAN!' then jan said 'look for ms lim now, she's at the gymnasium' and well so we ran back across the netball courts to the gym, and andrea pulled the door, but it was locked. we could even hear the lock kindof banging. so andrea said 'let's go in by the back door' suddenly xinqi was like 'ITS OPEN, I SAW IT OPEN, ITS OPEN!' but ruixin was very scared. ruixin had a very ehhh imaginative mindset at that time, and she thought like that something last year was going to greet us at the door, and so she totally freaked out, trying to run to the back door. but yes xinqi was so insistent (and stronger for that matter) she pushed us all to the door. (this was where the mistake came, but they hid it) someone opened the door after the banging (which was not supposed to) but yes then andrea was just like 'is ms lim in there?' then she closed the door and said 'go by the back door, go by the back door.' ruixin was already super scared out of her wits she was really AHHH ing and then suddenly, we saw this black cloth bag. and inside it looked like somewhat a human body. ruixin just STARTED SCREAMING, CRYING. then at that moment i just screamed. xinqi was going 'SHE'S SMILING, SHE'S SMILING!' about andrea, but ruixin STILL wasn't listening. so after that, ruixin just TOTALLY FREAKED. mus andrea and xinqi were pulling us forward, ruixin backward. and yes it was bad. SUDDENLY, the black bag started moving. wriggling rather. ruixin almost pierced all of our ears. okay then xinqi was stomping off into the gym. we opened the back door, vania was there in blue light (somewhat a scene in the exorcist) and with her fair complexion and teeth just like smirking. note that she was on the floor, doing a bridge. xinqi just stomped in, and i was with ruixin. i was about to walk in, then ruixin kept pushing me back. drea was like 'ahh look behind!' and i turned around to see this really dark figure walking towards us. i just ran after xinqi into the gym and ruixin kindof cried after that.

yes okay it may not sound super scary, but yes our group really experienced the full thing. shiqian's threesome was first and they actually told the secfours how to improve the whole items, and thus ours was really full blown, with mus and andrea who could/can ACT SO WELL. RAWR how irritating we really got freaked. mm okay people couldn't sleep. so stoned for a while more, then slept.

(1328 words? uhhh.)


shiqian and chloe (secfour and sectwo too) left for math olympiad.
jerm left for CPR course.

hmm woke up feeling much better, then set off for the CHALLENGE briefing. we took bus and mrt there. was supposed to be a race, but without cabs. so in the end all four groups walked and took the same bus/mrt/whatever. we finally got there, around one hour late. yes so we started on the stations. shall put wanyi's here.

Then we were off and away to East Coast. All 4 teams ended up going together. Walk and walk and walk. It must've been a 3km walk to the jetty from VS. That wasn't even the beginning.
Jetty: Had a couple of stupid grazes and 4 mosquito bites. We had a USELESS 5 min lead and walked the wrong direction. Great. So, we walked back and ended up last.
Even worst, the first station was sticking your sunburnt face into flour and use your teeth to get unwrapped sweets out. totally GROSS.
Second station was simply drinking water and eating with a timing. By that time my knees were jointed by a thread.
Then it was that 7km walk to the bloody YELLOW TOWER [lighthouse].
Smart us stopped with the other groups at Macs for a toilet break. Smart us zhao-ed when kim went in. HAHA. And we got a 5-10 min headstart? Reached there 2nd. Yay. Got dirty and soggy by the sea. That's okay, but SMART US went in the wrong direction for the SECOND TIME. the scavenger hunt was retarded anyway.
When we FINALLY reached the final destination, we'd walked approximately 10.8KM. (calculated that) [with all our detours]
by then I gave up totally, talk about rolling bloody bodies in the sand.

okay right it was kindof horrible. but yes it was fun. went through station one, and got a 5 minutes advantage coz we won. we walked all the way to the other end because nobody had the right sense of mind to take the clues and point at each letter infront of the words, and come up with 'LAGOON' (Look At [? not sure what the L and A stood for] Giant Obstructive Objects Nearby.). >_< oh man it was like irritating. we wasted our 5 minutes. right okay so we went to the lagoon, and the first stop was a whole tray of sand, and we were supposed to find 15 polo sweets in the flour, WITHOUT USING OUR HANDS. most specifically, using our MOUTHS. so yes. it was SICK. totally. and then our eyes and hands and mouths were full of flour even though we could clean up. IMAGES IN GALLERY. okay then after that, we went to station two.

station three we had to drink ALOT OF water. ee sorry abby. i think i was uber pissed after having drunk SO MUCH water before that already and us only having like 5 people in the group struggling to finish 4.5 litres of water. yepp okay then after we FINALLY finished drinking all the water, we were supposed to get a prepared dish, then feed it to each other. (: easy, we chose popiah. so we passed that station.

STATION FOUR. it was SO FAR AWAY. candice was like yellow tower? that's far away. and you know when candice says FAR away, it DOES mean far away. URGH it was like (okay acording to wanyi) 7km. yes okay we were walking with three other groups, but after that, they all went to mcs to pee and rest so we all CHIONGED. thus we had the lead. hah go wanyi. mm right okay we had to do SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING. bah we just did something simple. we didn't even have like nice goggles. >_< hmm yes okay we managed to crap something out. took the group photo at the lighthouse, then set off for scavenger hunt.

SCAVENGER HUNT WAS FUNNN.
even though we like detoured so many times due to some miscommunication, we still did it in time. (: okay first we saw the dead animal remains. HO so we tried plucking the jellyfish up onto our plastic bag, but it wasn't big enough. HMM yes anyway it STINKED. so yes after much attempts, jan finally allowed us to get the points even though we couldn't get the jellyfish. mm right okay then we went around asking strangers for sanitary pads. >_< after that we asked for lipstick, and one friendly, nice lady gave us her lipstick and ____ kissed cheryl. then we took a photo of it. found a red leaf, went to buy ice cream, and weiren had famous amos cookies AND coke. so yay for weiren. set back to the opposite direction due to the miscommunication, and arrived at our last station.

we were supposed to run into the sea, roll ourselves in the beach, then collect as much sand as possible, on your t shirt, hands, legs and stuff and well yes. was feeling somewhat down then, so thank you so much darinne.

went back to school, had to shower and lug everything from E104 to KS CHEE to sleep. or rather did not sleep. i went outside with darinne. had a somewhat sharing session. i dont know. i mean i dont know why but i think becky seems somewhat very far away sometimes. ): really weird feeling. eurghh. )': sigh. nevermind. i guess it was good to realise it all out. spent a long long time confiding and well yes sharing. and it really helped me. thankyou so much darinne. we were outside stoning for like around 2 hours. did star gazing too. then abby came out from KS chee as asked us what was wrong, why both of us looked well, sad and she stayed for a while, with andrea. then darinne and i moved to the foyer and well talked again. talked till around 12.30 plus? then went back to ks chee to enjoy abby's minestrone soup. yes then darinne didn't bring her sleeping bag so shared and fell asleep. thashi was still talking to jiamin.


woke up feeling rather whoozy (at around 4.30) but still slept. in the end found it too cold i went outside and slept. realised that darinne and shiqian were sleeping outside, TOO. then we watched this weird movie. shiqian charlotte and i didn't bother watching though the rest of the people were rather enthu about the show. about a girl called christine and how she trained up etc. HMM okay.

walked to E104, found rachel there and took SL interview? mm yeah. (: haha really short one. shan't keep my hopes high.

tammy (my messenger) gave me my first letter cum prezzie from my angel. (: my angel's secfour. and well yes she was UBER NICE. hmm from abby she's very nice. hahah okay right. i don't know who she is, but she gave me this pink water bottle (those plastic ones) with shells inside (collected from east coast park that day) and YES it was really sweet and i was so taached. ^^ but tam mus and abby refuse to tell me who. and juen too. hmph.

after that we did a camp debriefing. as in we washed the toilets and cleared up the room, then we sang the camp theme song. (i didnt even know we had one) it was like called 'we are one' from lion king two.

as you go through life you'll see
there is so much that we
don't understand

and the only thing we know
is things don't always go
the way we planned

but you'll see every day
that we'll never turn away
when it seems all your dreams come undone

we will stand by your side
filled with hope and filled with pride
we are more than we are
we are one

if there's so much i must be
can i still just be me
the way i am?

can i trust in my own heart
or am i just one part
of some big plan?

even those who are gone
are with us as we go on
your journey has only begun

tears of pain, tears of joy
one thing nothing can destroy
is our pride, deep inside
we are one

we are one, you and i
we are like the earth and sky
one family under the sun

all the wisdom to lead
all the courage that you need
you will find when you see
we are one

watched the video. HEH. it was really nice and all. then because there was SUPPOSED to be training today, but well due to our fatigue no one wanted to go for training and so it was cancelled (though there is training on friday) bleah okay right so camp breaked early.
