yoohoo! just came back from camp and have the urge to do a LONG update. OAC rocks to the core!!!!! 3C got 2nd for best class!!!! our instructors serene, selina, crystal and julia rock our world man! instructor selina, you must be happy if you see this hor! even though we din do an item for OAC campfire, we still got it!! and the performing classes din get any at all... the top class was 3H, with 91 pts, followed by us 3C, with 90.5 pts and 3S with 90 pts. all our points damn close can?? that shirlyn neo huh... think we got too high for big sweep then take away 1 pt! or else we surely win liao. both our class instructors and attached instructors were so proud of us! ber ber still thought getting 3rd was good enough. if we thought we could get 2nd, does it mean we would get 1st? haha.

i can proudly say i did everything. swinging log bridge, single log, logs and tyres, abseiling, challenge pole, zip line... i did all high elements that we were told to do. such a huge sense of achievement! yay!!! i was most of the time the first to volunteer to do all those stuff. so i did zip line. half of C2 din get to do bcuz of that 3S girl called vanessa. wah lau aye, she was stuck up there for over 30 mins can? lian lei the rest of the ppl there. i dont like S2 ppl. they keep showing that bo chap attitude. sickos. they even diaoed instructor selina kay... she very buay song them so she complained to instructors serene and ping siew. we were so lame too. so bored until started telling the instructors lame and dirty jokes. then ping siew couldn't get the purple baby joke. haha. that was during orienteering. kao, we walked all the way to the main entrance of the camp can? legs pain like siao. like a kilometre we walked under the sun. and the instructors were wearing dark blue shirt. i feel so lucky wearing the pe tee man. we managed to get all the postcards. but i think everyone did. wait, i havent finish talking about the first day. okay, we did high elements for first act. as i said, almost all i was the first to do. and also, when we were doing the single log, i was doing it backwards, blindfolded. although its rather hard to balance, i did it nevertheless. i was quite fast for logs and tyres too. only broken bridge was more difficult. the planks were up and down and very shaky. but i did it! *clap clap* after that was field cooking. yiting say we cooked really fast, she gave us very high for field cooking but dunno who added 3 more pts or else we might not win! heehee. and we made the place very clean. the food wasn't exactly nice but it was acceptable. our maggi mee was hard. but the baked beans was nice. i think i ate half a can. cooking with mastins [izzit the correct spelling?] was fun. The washing up wasn’t. the soot took suck a long time to come off. next up was tower. zip line rocks totally! so fun. got such a breeze when i was "flying" down. that 3S girl got stuck up there for dunno how long. make until we late for challenge pole. i wonder if she came down at all. she dunno whether really scared onot. made me waste my breath cheering for her. and she scared she still can laugh up there. what so funny? she attracted so much attention. everyone while changing stations stood there to take a look. can anyone tell me if she jumped? i'm so curious to know. she dowan to jump then siam lah. make until the rest of the groups cannot do that station. next was challenge pole. i only touched the pole. haiz. i wanted to catch it but i was shivering so i couldn't reach out properly. it still rocks. at least better than when i was at LTC when i couldn't even touch it. next up: abseiling!!! this is my favourite man. so fun! less than one minute and i'm down. hee! nanthini did it! she overcomed her fear of heights and went to abseil. i'm so proud of her. bathing was crazy on the first day. our instructors bluff us that there was 5 mins left when actually there was like 20 mins left. in the end, we rushed like mad and later slacked in the dorm. during debrief given by shirlyn, she was so funny. she said "campers, i know this is your first time bathing." immediately, everyone started laughing like mad. haha. silly gal. dinner was horrendous. dunno who so inconsiderate, keep talking. then the leaders kept making us stand to eat. kaoz. nightwalk rocks. i was behind sharon and in front of yanyi. we all held our hands damn tight when we were made to sit. sharon held my hand so damn tight! when instructor selina tried to pull me away to walk back to the campsite, she won't let go! she held on to me like a crab's pincers! my fingers were so painful after that. my partner to go back to the campsite was xianhui, my dad's ex-neighbour's daughter. we talked alot as we walked back. we were one of the earliest pairs to go but gladys' pair caught up with us. they walk like so damn fast?? my god. when i got back, a sharp headache came. i missed class interaction. heard from val that it was boring. in the end after leader rebecca put medicated oil for me, i slept in the QM base. when i got back to the kitchen for nightcap, all my instructor frens and classmates kept asking if i was okay. they like dont believe when i told them i'm okay. i think its bcuz of the really hot weather and bcuz i climbed everything. in the end, it was so painful until i gotta ask ma'am wong if i could take a panadol. leader yimin is nice. she helped me ask. then all the asking of permission, she helped me.

argh. wanna sleep liao. update more on my camp expedition tmr. nitey!
