okays now let me tok abt the camp activities....

firstly, my 11 grp members:
gals: nat, jeanne,denise,tina
guys:leonard,wei yi, kian pang, srey, xue yuan, han ern, fadhli

DAY 1:
we had our ice-breakers...very fun! there's this game where u get to eat m&ms and introduce urself,man, i love chocolates! then there's the turn-the-ground sheet over while u're on it game, the pass the hoop around with linked hands game and the walk on chairs but blindfolded game...nxt was the segment by our team where we had to teach everyone first aid and map-reading, everything when okay........except when i was toking to everyone before the whole thing started the stupid laoudhailer kept screeching! eeks! issit me or is the loud hailer rebellious?!! then we started our LAND EXPEDITION! i ate lunch at super fast speed la, until i had heartburn so i had to stop eatg and let it subside for a while... ... teach me not to gobble up my food......
then we set off! chiong all the way to the bus stop only to be kept there by the stupid bus!
hahas:D, many of the routes rite, the councillors had alr trod on during elects' camp, so we are okay with directions during the the long hike at macritchie, then we took a bus to bukit timah nature reserve...wah let me tell u, yltc abit slacker in this aspect, i remember during elects' camp, how we WALKED on FOOT (ouch! in memory of it) from nj to sixth avenue to holland village to NUH to west coast and bus to bukit panjang i think or dunnoe wat nature reserve and then to bukit timah and then to mac ritchie and finally bus back to sch....wow! i still remeber that seemingly never-ending stretch of rifle range road.... woah! yupps so land ex only cover macritchie and bukit timah, so me thinks elects' camp hike is tougher...yupps..but anyways land ex is still quite fun, too some photos! but one challenge in land ex is that you have to carry your whole bag along the WHOLE trip~five days worth of clothes and shoes....

DAY 2:
we had our obstacle course the whole day, thought it was drizzling on off and the helmet is sooo stinky...... first we tried the rope course, where i get to belay ppl to higher heigts and watch them like a hawk...everyone complained of neck ache the nxt morn from looking up for such lopng periods... then we went onto the challenge pole, hohoho! there's a once-in a lifetime experience man! and seriously i only want to keep it to ONCE! hahas:P climbing up the pole was easy peasy, stepping onto the top is another matter altogether, the top is not flat la! stupif metal cap! so when i reached the last step, got sturck up there a while cos i was afraid if i took the large step from the side of the pole to the top i might lose my balance... si i took awhile and when one feet went up, i quickly put the other up too....again balance.....nat commented that she noticed my last step was abit of a jump up the top....after both your legs are on the pole, everything seem so comfy you dont want to get down anymore! afterall you are on the top of the world! it's really nice lookg down from that height! really...sadly, had to jump and hang onto a trapeze.......so there i go, jump....and down down down... ... next up was really exciting.... i went to abseil and the instructor was quite nice! the last part was abit scary la! cos i became further and further from the wall, then when i looked down, voila! i was near the ground liao! next was my FAVOURITE! zipline! aka flying fox...i got a heart attack on my first step la be cos of the drastic drop in height! i wanted to scream but nothing came out! really funny and i squeezed my eyes closed and opened them again.. it was really cool looking down from the cable! then i joined the trolley party! basically what we have to do is to respond and "save" the person. the person jumping will shout "clear runway!" and we reply "runway cleared!" and whee! the guys were really funny la! they complained abt the pain in the thigh area becos for the zipline, you are hung to the cable only by harness mah. the ride down the cable was not very smooth, so for every little jump the person makes, the guys go:"ouch!" hahas.i guess that is more of a guy's problem if u noe what i mean... ... when trolley party became abit boring, me and denise, and the rest started throwing stones at each other... its really cool cos got helmet.sooo it doesnt hurt, all u hear is a resounding thek! sound...my aiming sucks la! everyone esp eric and leonard became so scared of me....boohoo!

at night we packed for our sea expedition... ...

DAY 3:
yay! off we set out for our sea expedtion aft a delicious breakfast of beehoon and hotdogs. on the bus, many of us slept...tired mah.... kayaking is sooooooooooo FUN! all the instructors so chio and cute la! good-looking! hehes......james, look like some hongkong actor i think, charles, wang jie, elaine..................i want to go kayak again! kayaking was fun but tiring, along the way we sang songs, cheered to keep the spirits up........i love making rafts! hahas:) though we always get scolded for making horrible rafts... ... kayaking left me with lots of sand everywhere, cuts and abrasions from the fibreglass kayaks, and lots of blue-blacks from all that knocking.... ... at night, we had team-bonding games at changi sea sports club....

DAY 4:
went back to camp..damn tired...........................but anyways, we played the obstacle course... lots of body moving...........our grp really have strong guys la! there's spiderweb, wall and higher wall of NJC, hole in the wall(actually its a tyre) and acid river which i like best...whee! at night, we had a FEAST! YUMMY! and all the grps acted out their skits..........we cheered like crazy and laughed our selves silly with all our super funny skits la! the david marshall impersonation was so real- i was told....hehes:D i love the 2 bimbos in out skit, so funny! nat and jeanne.gosh! anways, then we had mass dance! and we ONLY DANCED IT ONCE! so sad! :'( i want to dance lots and lots of mass dance! yupps! hehe..love it! ohyah! lights out that night was later than usual, at 1am, so many grps had gatherings in the guy dorms.......our grp and grp6 didnt have one, so we had a mini picnic in the dorms and ghost-story-telling sessiosn........my "bed" was on the upperlevel......but i went to the lower to hear the story teller,aline, better....so aft that i wanted to go back up and when i opened the door....i screamed muy head off la and closed the door again! and this sparked off a series of screams from the rest... ... guess what? there's a froggie jumping around on the lower landing of the stairway! ahhs! so i was stuck downstairs while the rest of my grp mates were stuck upstairs! in the end, i had to go to the guy's dorm and call for SOS....wah.......heart attack man!

DAY 5:
amusingly, denise and i was placed as i/cs for the day...it was quite fun to stand in front and ask everyone to do rowcalls to you hahas(: esp when you have to report to urself since u are part of the grp too...imagine me saying,"12! lee kong chian reporting to Noreen, total strength 12, current strength 12, all present!" lol! so yupps we cleaned up the place includg toilets and off we go..home sweet home..................b4 we left, we wrote msges on each other's books......haaaaahhhs sweeet memories......
