CAMP


Went for a 2D1N orientation camp in school about 2 weeks ago, on the 23rd and 24th of July. It was totally action-packed, fun-filled, and physical --- with loads of screaming and shrieking and yelling and yelping and cheering and running up and down and scrambling here and there --- especially on the 1st day. And it doesn't help that the terrains in campus are nothing short of horrible.


OVERVIEW

DAY 1. 23rd July. Monday.
- Gathered at Arts Forum at 9am.
- Played Jacob's Ladder. And someone accidentally tripped over my ankle and another one stepped on my left calf. And both are guys, can??? Not some dainty and petite little ladies loh. PAIN ONE LOH!!!
- Played Earthquake. And run somemore.
- Lunch at TechnoEdge (Engineering's canteen).
- Speech by Mr. Darren.
- Amazing Race. And run somemore. And did I mention that there are nothing but mountainous terrains in campus?
- Played Secret Pal.
- Photo Shoot competition.
- Dinner at Harbourfront.
- Fright Night.
- Showered at 4.00am at Multi-Purpose Sports Hall. (!!!)
- And finally, slept at 4.30am.

DAY 2. 24th July. Tuesday.
- Forced to wake up at 7.30am.
- Walked to West Coast for breakfast at MacDonalds. And a production crew happened to be filming a MacDonalds commercial. And admittedly, it's kind of satisfying and entertaining --- in a somewhat sick, and sadistic, way --- to see those people having loads of NGs while indulgently munching away on your aromatic and succulent hot pancakes smattered with thick honey and butter.
- Adjourned to West Coast Park.
- BATTLE TIME!!! Had a series of 3 war games where the different orientation groups (OGs) pit against each other. AND I think it's not fair, as my OG - out of a total strength of 14 - had only 3 guys. Of course, needless to say, we lost in each of the war games.
- Last but not least, WATER BOMB. Gladiator-style.
- Walked back to campus.
- Revealing of Secret Pal's 如山真面目 (ru2 shan1 zhen1 mian4 mu4).
- Performance by each OG.
- Award presentation.
- 6.30pm --- BOOK OUT!!!



Taken during Amazing Race. Gosh, Engineering blocks are really nice and sophisticated.



Taken at the rooftop of the old Law building during the Photo Shoot competition. We had to do loads of silly things like making a video of us shouting down from the rooftop "Wo hen ai ni" (translation: I love you very much) to our OG guys who were stationed below, take pictures of us "committing suicide" outside MacDonalds at the Enginnering block, and... ... ...



Taking a photo of girls flushing a row of urinals together. (-_-")

We decided to be creative; and thus positioned an OG guy smack in the midst of the girls.


Can you spot the ONLY man in black? I think it must be somewhat traumatizing for him. And I wonder, will it have any negative impact on him in future. Perhaps, going to the gents will never be the same ever again. Hohoho.


Sigh. Did I mention that it's mountainous???


Battle scars, wounds of bravery, and bruises of courage --- courtesy of action-packed war games gallantly fought.


I counted at least 7 bruises.
Aiyoyo-yo-yo.
