The camp was the best camp ever! We got to do loads of
stuff, like washing your own plates, obstacle races, bathe in the school, etc.
I really want to go again! Let me start at the beginning...
"Wake
up!" My mum pulled me off the bed. I rushed to get myself dressed and
every thing, and set off! I was so excited, I could hardly wait. When I reached
the school, it was already packed with people. We brought our bags up to our
classrooms, and got to know our group leaders. My group leader is Clara,
Secondary One. She is so kind, but short(no offence!).
The
first game we played was so easy. My group, that has ten people, had to stand
on a sheet of newspaper. Our legs should be all on the newspaper. Our group
actually won! Somebody was stepping on Charmaine's foot, that she was screaming
away! It was so funny!
After
that, we went down to the family lounge. We had to build tall tower with straws
that is the tallest and sturdiest, it had to hold a plastic cup with water.
Ours was so weird! It looks more like a shelf than a tower. I had to admit, it
was quite funny-looking. It cannot even withstand half a cup of water!
We went
to the canteen to have our teabreak after that. I think we had sardine puff.
Yummy! We also had Milo . Let me let you into a
secret. When we were having our games, our teachers put Milo
powder into our mugs. I went to wash my cup, but when I look into my cup, I
thought the powder was sand! I was like, what the?! I poured water into my cup,
then realising that it was Milo powder!
There's another part of that, but I would not tell anyone about it. It's too,
um, secretive.
The
next game was an obstacle race. The first station was we had to waddle across a
whole patch of water bombs without bursting any of them. We even had to quack
like a duck! Quack, quack! How embarrassing! The second one was disgusting, but
luckily I manage to get away with it. We had to use our mouth to pick up straws
and sweets from a box of flour. Okay, if any P4 from SNG is reading this, do
NOT blame me. Alina did not want anyone to do it! The first time she did it,
she cheated. She used her hands to pick up the sweet! The third station was a
messy station. We had to remember the colours from a cow that our teacher
showed us. Exactly! We also had to take paint from the mat at the front of the
tables, and had to use chopsticks and our hands to paint! Our cow broke into
half cause it was too wet...
We had
our lunch and after that we got this Chinese Immersion thing. One of them we
got to make mooncakes! Yum! I love it! I asked my friend if she could give me
hers, and she agreed! I thought I could leave it until dinner time...
We had
our bathe after that. I went to the toilet to bathe. We had to bathe with a
bucket of water! I used like, only 1 out of 100 of water! After I bathe, I went
to my classroom to practice my cheer, because at night we would a cheer
competition! Squee!
After
dinner, we went to an open space to have our cheer competition. Here something
like my our cheer:
We are from Group 3!
Wasting our awesomeness on you!
...
*Class cheer*
Something
like that... I can't really remember the lyrics at the... part.
We had
our night trail after that! Yay! The first station was fun. We had to take out
laminated paper and sweets from flour water. I went first. The mixture was
slimy but nice to touch! We also had to match the cultural item with the
culture on the laminated paper. We got second for this. Next, we went to the
family lounge. When we reached there, Alina was missing! NO! We were all
screaming for her. Finally we found her looking for us at the family lounge.
OMG. Over there it was a relay race. We had to pick up a card from the chair
and put it the correct section. Mine was a string of flowers. I had no idea
which culture it was supposed to be in! I eventually decided to put it at the
'Indian' section. I hope it is right! Next we went to the Secondary ISH. Alina
went missing, AGAIN! She was found slowly walking up the staircase. ARGHHH!Over
there two person and Clara had to go food tasting. It was Chloe Lim and Faith.
Chloe Lim was blind folded and Clara and Faith had to guide her to the
different tables to taste food. After the food tasting, she had to tell the
'judge' what she tasted. The next station was messy. A pair of people had to
face back-to-back. One of them would be painting the picture. The other one
would be describing the picture to the person who is painting. I was the one
describing. I did not know what thing did the person showed to me. Even she
does not know! It looks like a keychain. I told Chloe Tay, my partner, that the
top is a circle, in the middle of the circle there is an eye, at the bottom
there is a big raindrop, in the middle there is another eye, outside the
raindrop the is a lot of of small eyes and the item is a keychain. Sounds
weird? If you look at the painting, it is a lot weirder. Next station was very
boring. It is called: Drop the blanket. Somebody hides behind the blanket and
say, "Drop the blanket" and the blanket drops and the person would be
holding a cultural item and we and to guess what it is. So boring... After
that, we rushed to the same open space we were in earlier. It is also the
finishing line!!!! We were there first! Winner! We waited for ten minutes
before the next team came. After that group came, more teams came in, one by
one.
After
all the teams came, we had the last event for the day. We had a dress up
competition. We used aluminium foil, cardboard, masking tape and
permanent marker to dress Charmaine up as and Indian person. She looks
more like Iron Woman than an Indian Woman. Seriously. After dressing up,
teachers got to vote for the best dress. Charmaine only got ONE vote! :(
Next,
we were supposed to have supper, but I was exhausted and super tired. I brushed
my teeth and went down to the hall with my sleeping bag. My sleeping is
gigantic, and when I walked down the stairs, I heard someone said, "Is she
crazy?" She seriously has no manners... I thought I would just sleep
straight away, but I couldn't. I was awake until 12.15 am. When it was 12
midnight, I heard Nat. Chua said, "Everyone, it is 4th September
already!" People are already sleeping and she was screaming?! Can't
believe it.
Next
day, I woke up by all the shi-ing from the P4s. It was so noisy! Gwen was still
sleeping, so, to wake her up, Alina and I talked very loudly because we were
sleeping right in front of her. She woke up! Yay! I sat up, and saw Ashley on
the floor. Alina was beside me, followed by Ashley, than Rachel. How did Ashley
end up on the floor beside Rachel?! Did she roll over Rachel? Can't be. It is
still a mystery. Ms Chan tricked us! She said she would wake us up by speaking
into the mic. Hmph! I learnt something,"Never trust adults!" We had
breakfast and set
off for
our trip to Little India.
Our
tour guide was so good, he even gave us flowers! I got a rose and marigold(not
the milk!). The marigold was so beautiful...
I don't
want to type any more... My fingers are exhausted already. But I would
continue...
