12:08 AM
This week had been pretty boring,had career talk in NYP where they(the speakers)showed us the difference between JC and Poly.Then, the lecturers from different courses told us about their respective courses,it was a little bit boring because after the tea break, we didn’t had anymore breaks and like 5 speakers spoke one after another then had another speaker from a company that is suppose to motivate us,I think..so, was pretty restless after that. Then,the next day, went to ITE(Mcpherson) where we went for a tour at the school(which was nice!) and had another course talk..almost bored me out of my mind.
On Tuesday, had speech day rehearsal.it was raining and well, it kind of distract me and stuff and I was nervous so I kind of forgot my marching stuff.edith said it was bad..lol..see,told u,my marching sucks..lol..i am more cut out for admin stuff.
Today..had pioneer course at the guide house…soo fun lor! Arrived at the guides house at around 8:50am and surprise! Edith was early,that’s a first for her..Lol.The teacher that was taking us was mr mail, I have to say,he is a very humorous teacher and his teaching is effective.lol.we did firelighting first by collecting the twigs,punks and all near the Bishan stadium and swimming complex there and we had to climb up a hill to get the twigs and I got to see the swimming complex!bring back memories of the swim meet and the p3 swimming lessons that was held there.Then,mr mail demo to us the way to dig the pit and how the start the fire when we went back to the guides house,you know,he dig a perfect pit!Thats like wow! I was in a group with jie and da and I think cuz we didn’t have enough twigs bah,then our fire went out but edith saved us when she gave us her twigs and her coconut husks.thanx! Then we were taught how to make an emergency shelter using a poncho .hehe..our shelter was soo shady! I was soo sad when we were told to take it down.then we did rope ladder in which we had to make a ladder out of wood poles that were given. Wah and Jie did most of the work cuz I don’t know how to do the clove knot..yeah.we were told to climb up the ladder after that..it was quite scary and I was the last one to go up..hehe.Then we went for lunch and I ate Long John with Jie,Da,Edith,Wah,Xinyu and Ms Ng! haha..then jie and I had mini melts after that..hehe.
After Lunch, we did axemanship, We were told on which axe is used on which purposes and how to find out whether the axe is loose and so on and so forth and which saw to use on which wood. We were split up into 2 groups,like in the rope ladder. My group did the sawing off the wood first than the axeing..haha..i have a phobia towards axeing cuz I scrimp my finger during the outdoor cooking competition. I think that was why I tapped the wood instead of really hitting it…haha.Then had map reading..it was fun! I was with Wah and Edith.We had all the answers correct.yay!As of now,Jolene is known as AMK..hehe..Then had briefing and mr mail told us the time allocation for the each section..haha..i am gonna to be soo dead for the firelighting…we are only given 2 matchsticks.Not to forget the rope ladder too.Overall…the course is fun! We also got some tips from mr mail.so,next time,can make fire under 10mins..yay!!We will be coming back for the test on the 11th of April..yap.

HAPPY BELATED BDAY STEPH!!
celebrated my lil sis's birthday on the day i got back from camp but i didnt go out to dinner and watch nanny mcphee with them cuz i was too tired that they couldnt wake me up.
camp was superb! i love it!! my conclusion..being a factilitor seriously rawks despite of the lack of sleep..lol..
1st day..hm..had alot of stuff.
we had mini games in which we only managed to play 3 games out of 4.i would say it was enriching..haha..i helped at the turn over the new leaf..timed them and stuff.then gadget making,i didnt help abit..i was drinking pepsi and doing maths hw and basically slacking..lol..cuz i suck at gadgets so i let the pros like edith and weiyi take over..haha.u guys were great!then at mass games..helped at operation quarantine,simon says,3D spider web(oo..thanx jie and qing for helping us make the web!).i like the spider web the most cuz it had an attraction.the pack of instant noodle for tuesday's outdoor cooking..lol.i helped my dear group keep theirs.emergency drill was a success!! everyone was there under 5mins!
then at nite..after the night games(mass game 2) where qing,atikah,weiling and i were i/c of the morse relay,all the seniors went to bath and 15mins into our bathing time,the lights suddenly went off! and we could hear the NCC guys outside.even though we shouted at them to get the lights back on,no lights came on.then edith scolded them and they say guides what not humourous and all..we had to use edith's flashlight to lighten up the room a lil bit.we were saved by xinyu..hehe..thanx!night drill! woke up at near 12mn to wake the juniors.huixian and weiling was i/c of shouting and opening the lights while da,jie and i shoot the whole thing..hehe...we assembled them at the parade square and instead of "kidnapping" 4..we only "kidnapped" 1..a sec 1 junior called shirei..hehe..the same thing as last year happened..well..hope they learn from it this year! =) went to sleep at 2am cuz of sentry..hehe..talked to ms ng and mdm ng..yay!
2nd day
We had station games..the dry type one lar. I was i/c of peek-a-who,not really an exciting station.when the first batch of juniors came in..didnt know how to play the game but when the other 2 arrived,it was not soo bad..hehe..but 25mins each time was too long lar.i got a lil suntan as a result..lol.jking.
Then..had outdoor cooking. I helped qing and jie to dig the hole then helped weiyi with cooking the Maggie mee for the factilitors.Turned out to be quite a disaster lar cuz Adeline put 2 packets at one time and no seasoning and in the end.no one felt like eating…okay..we ate a little bit(oo..sorry da,for using ur stuff)junior’s side,the matchsticks couldn’t light the soild fuel so we had to use the lighter and there was only one we lighted our’s first then the lighter became spolit..dunno why.so,weiyi n I tried to help them light their soild fuel using our fire but the fire was blowing here and there..too dangerous..weiyi managed one but I wasn’t that successful.luckily atikah came back with 2 lighters,mr ong’s n ms mok’s.heng…then had wet games.rawks! my station was very boring ..in the end..ended up splashing da and edith was water..lol.factilitors gone crazy!!! But it was fun!! Then the bee attack..we filled up buckets of water and our water guns then attacked the juniors and we got soaking wet ourselves..esp qing..haha.then, we had a mass drill where the juniors march barefooted and soaking wet..haha..a whole new experience!! Then prepared for gangshow..wow..my group now very talkative but all the guys talk about was about fighting etc etc..i almost vomited blood. After bath-time was gangshow =)Had all the usual stuff then had newspaper game.cw was kenna sabo-ed by his company then I kenna sabo-ed by mine.haha..i have a feeling that they planned it beforehand.then qing n cy got sabo-ed and 2 more NCC n guides juniors also got sabo-ed.haha.group 1 walked away with the best cheer and best something..i 4g ot and the NCC part C I think walked away with best item.Oh ya..my group performance was better then expected..they almost got best item..haha.ya..after that..bathing time(for us)!! Lucky the lights didn’t go out this time round.Then went to rest for awhile then had discussion for the night drill at around 11:30pm bah..went to canteen.to discuss cuz suhailah was in the room.xinyu n I got the science block bathroom on the first floor it was okay lar.but xinyu n I were pretty freaked out at first so decided to paste it in a easier place..should have paste it under the toilet bowl or something..lol.went to sleep at around 3:40am.
3rd day
Didn’t eat breakfast cuz not enough bread but nvm lar cuz we had chicken rings afterwards..lol.Jie,qing,da and I were the last ones to go for breakfast cuz we were moving all the bags from outside the factilitor’s room to inside the factilitor’s room. Edith and I checked the junior’s dormitories before that.After breakfast was like super fun lor..chanel and Vivian tay..they all sian mah..then think up of the cheer plus the hand clapping movement..like we want to go home then the seniors replied like no you cant..haha..i cant remember the beat and stuff..we did that for about 1 hour plus and we even attract some attention..hehe…after that, we sabo-ed qing again and moved her to the parade square and she ran away even before we can even find cy so the “yq hunting”being..haha. Then we saw the NCC and cy auto ran away..lol. edith also sabo me n cw..but I ran away too but luckily the main “lead” isit me,is cy and qing..haha. After that,the juniors played sardine while we watch the NPCC concert and took a break(well..i managed to fall asleep for a little while)then had prize presentation. Group 4 walk away with the best group and for the best camper in sec 1 is aisha,sec 2 is peck hui and sec 3 is romaine.yap! after that,took coy pictures and the factilitors stayed back to yam say and got a packet of choco from qing =)thanx!
oo..i need to thanx jie and da too,for bringing their video camera which they managed to tape down almost the whole camp ,huixian for bringing her digicam to lighten my burden and qing,for writing the 30 pg proposal and planning almost the whole thing.
3 cheers!!!

9:02 AM
currently packing for camp now..just realised that i dont have enough shorts to wear/bring!
1 of my pe shorts went missing in action and i dont have any black or blue shorts!!
haha..i should have done my packing earlier lar..almost half the stuff on the list is not in my bag yet but it is already 1/3 full..filled with all the nosensical stuff like my camera. haha..i think i will not bring an extra pair of shoes to camp cuz in all the camps i brought them along,i
never wear them,so,no use bringing lar.
since i am not allowed to go to any extra lessons during camp,i am going to bring my hw along to do =).to pass the time for sentry duty and when the juniors bath etc.haha..i am lucky i didnt take the 10-12mn shift cuz or else i may not be able to bath as our bathing time will be after the juniors' lights out.hmm...maybe the ones who finish bathing first can take over weiyi's,qing's and atikah's shift for awhile while the 3 of them bath.
this camp will be my last camp as a secondary school student..after this,it will be seminars and study,study and more study since N levels is like 5 months away.but i am still not in a mood to mug..i dont know why,the stress is not coming in yet and its freaking me out.i failed 3 subjects for the 1st term and i failed terribly at science..esp chem.oh god..i need to buck up more if i want to ace my Ns successfully.last camp..i dread it and but i also look forward to it..i bet we(the sec 4s)will be taking tons of pics(for memories' sake..lol)
k..i gtg finish packing my bag or i will be sleeping very late tonight!
cya guys on thurs/fri!

haha..pre camp entry..ask requested by my dear buddies.
ok..i never got through the 1st round of SYF selection.
my drill is completely jia lat.but its ok.jiayou for the 2nd selection round for edith,jiayi,atikah , qing,genevive and yiqian.
its strange but i dont feel any sadness compared to when i couldnt dance in the trying ballet class last year..cuz i was bawling like mad..does it mean that i have a bigger passion for dance than guides?i dunno..shouldnt think too much..
preparation for camp is done.wow...i hope we can pull it off successfully by ourselves.
On friday,the scene wasnt very encouraging though cuz the guides and NCC juniors were quite anti-social while discussing their cheer and their item for gangshow.
havent packed my bag for camp yet..too lazy.
lol..1st time i am gonna to bring 3 water guns to camp..lol
fun! i am planning on getting wet during camp..doesnt sound abit like a senior..dont i?

cuz well spend most of my time packing and sleeping as i wouldnt be sleeping during camp.

da,
jie and
edith...jie is sitting besides me reading comics..hehe.
oral was ok la..i got
mr James Lee.my sec 2 english teacher..haha..jie and edith got him too.
during the oral,he seems pretty bored la..i dunno y..hope i passed and i didnt bored him to death..haha..*fingers crossed*
oh ya..changed my blogskin..like it?
it was a blogskin for the day..so,it should be pretty popular.
i dont mean to complain but life in school,class-wise pretty much sucks cuz i have no one to gossip with in class.shiyama and amala are talking in tamil half the time,fu lin they all are talking their stuff.then every class i always sit alone..but i think i learn better that way lar..
Juz saw the camp booklet..pretty cool man! To be honest,i dont think i can produce one lor..i cant even come up with the factilitor's reflection form cuz i dont know what i want them to reflect on...well...there wasnt any day to day factilitor's reflection form in the last few camp that i went to. On the bright side,camp is NEXT WEEK!! OMG..soo fast!!!
My sis went back from OBS all chaoda..lol...she was in the student leader group and they kayaked for 2 DAYS STRAIGHT!! from OBS Camp 2-malaysia..i think..she CRIED.her group was the one that got pushed the most..but in whole,they got pretty good food and OBS doesnt sound that bad..in Singapore.From the chicken soup book,OBS in the US is 3 weeks..wah..that 1 confirm die..
k..gtg..bye!

The head instructor's name is miss alsasgoff.damn strict de...but can see she is a pretty nice person but i think cuz of marching then she become soo strict de.she say need to stand in the sun for at least 2 hours but i think should be ok,cuz got hat..haha..but we need to sort of compete for places,cuz only have 96 places and 10 reserves.wow...hope i can be in la,marching in this type of thing had pretty much been my
DREAM,so...i dont mind the tough training and die die must do everything perfect.haha..now i think i will be marching 3 times a week.thurs-speech day rehearsal,fri-guides drill and sat-SYF opening ceromony rehearsal.wow..cool!! i need to improve on my drill though if i want to get in the SYF thing.
