5:13 PM
juz came back frm camp this afternn at ard 2pm+.the camp was damn fun and i think this camp is 1 of the best camps i ever went to..a once in a lifetime opportunity ..haha..kind of glad that i volunteered to go =)
anyway..the camp went well..the guides(Rachel,Huifang,Yi Qian n i) and brownies(Jeanette,Dorothy n Cheryl)in my patrol bonded very well through a making a few sarcastic remarks like wen un-name(u guys shld noe hu)ask whether it is tea or elevensth..then 1 of us guides say dinner or smthing..lol..we usually did that during the 1st day of the camp..and slping with a diff sub-camp(Sangam or Sub-camp G) did helped us bond as a grp 2 cuz we only had each other 2 rely on as we other know a few pple in that sub-camp.i wished we could have moved back 2 our old sub-camp cuz all together we only occupied 6 beds n if we go back..we juz nd 2 squezze some brownies together in bed or smthing..well nvm..at least 1 of the rps(Jia Wei i guess.helped us moved the bedsheets etc to the other lodge).that 1st nite..i did smthing i rarely do..talk for abt 4 hr n 30 mins ..haha..cuz Rachel and i couldnt slp as we r the type of person that if we go 2 camp..we cannt slp for the 1st nite n usually toss n turn..so,instead of tossing n turning..we decided to talk abt our general life with each other n observe our surrounding..frm her,i learnt that rgs's life is quite scary..they do smthing we i dont even see that our schl guys or gals are doing..maybe frm the pressure of doing well but luckily Rachel didnt follow them or anything..then at ard 1:44am we realised that our surrounding had become more noisy..people started going to toilet n dreaming..n we even saw a brownie attempting 2 do smthing 3 times in a row but she fall back aslp..lol...that day,every1 also realised smthing else,in this type of guides camp,there is no way we can get thinner cuz there is like tea,elevensth,lunch,breakfast, dinner n supper every 30 min or so..lol..but heard frm another rp(huixin)that the rps have 2 each twice as much as us..lol..oh ya..our sub-camp decided to do a "guides idol" skit for our cf item..with all the commercials n all the works..huifang,yi qian n rachel were 1 of the contestants n the brownies n i were their family members =)
On the 2nd day...the real work starts...we have 2 move our bags frm the lodge to our tents..then we begin preparing for our outdoor cooking..Yi Qian n i did the fire-making with grp 13 cuz we have 2 combine 2 grps then Huifang n Rachel did the pizza n the brownies did the chicken wings n the chocolate bananas.the food turned out quite nice esp the chicken wings..lol..juz wanna say 2 u guys..gd job!! during the fire-making,we were v unlucky..wen we were half-way digging,we came across a big piece of wood n have 2 find another spot to dig n we had 2 use the emergency "barbecue pit".then after all that..we rested for a while then the patrol challenge begin..haiz..frm that time onwards,i was beginning 2 to think that un-name was v irriating n she started getting on my nerves..but have 2 bear..4 the sake of the patrol..really wanted 2 scold her cuz she cant get as much attention as she get at home.after we had our dinner n bath,the cf starts..our sub-camp,frankly was v quiet..compared to the rest of the sub-camp...all the items were gd..hehe..i find the channel surfing skit v creative..lol..after the cf,went back tent to put the groundsheet then had a meeting to discuss ytd's stuff..like what to do etc n we(the PLs) missed supper!! n wen i went back n un-name switched tents for a nite(much 2 our relief),we had a mini cf n juz talk n three rps who juz bath came to tell us to keep lower our voice n slp..lol..we slept at 12:30mn at last..
Last day..we sun our groundsheet at ard 7am n after that had a striking down a tent demo by the rps..they took abt 30mins to strike the tent,put it in the bag,clean the pegs...haha..i was thinking that the steps were soo complicated..luckily there was an rp assigned to each patrol to hlp us strike,our assigned rp(huixin) was very nice..wen we were waiting 4 the tents to dry,she taught as some games then we juz talked..abt 15 mins later,we were told 2 wash the toilets..haha..we guides of cuz did the work cuz the brownies didnt want esp un-name...haiz..un-name dampen our spriti during this whole camp..saying negative stuff n didnt hlp...yi qian cleaned d cubicles,i washed the tiles n rachel n huifang throw away d rubbish.after we strike the tents..we went to the prize giving ceromony..our sub-camp won the best cf item..yah!! n we got a big pencil box/toiletry bag each...n jie ying's patrol gt 5th in the patrol challenge with 68 pts..congrats jie ying!!last of all..we had d foto-taking session..haiz..regret nt taking out my camera out of my bag..then can pass ard d foto to all the sub-camp members...then after that..its going hm time..cant bear to part with my sub-camp members...haha..maybe all the guides in my patrol could go out someday..
