Ok, can finally get down to blogging abt my 6 days camp held last wk! So much to say, so much to tell and of cuz so much to share with those who could not make it. And so, let me begin with day 1..
Day 1-Got up relatively early to get ready and to do some last min packing and to double-check tt i have bought everthing tt was stated in the packing list. Went to meet rebecca 1st at hougang station, after which we set off to nus, sde for foc. The journey simply sucks la, so long and on top of tt, I had to carry my big heavy bag around from hougang all the way to nus! Upon arriving at sde, we had to do some registration and settle some admin stuff. Then, we were told which grp we belonged to and I was led to join my grp mates. My grp is Logam and till now, I still think it sounds like longan.haha. While waiting for the rest of my grp mates to arrive, the ogls did some intro of themselves and we freshies also did the same thing. Following tt were the ice-breakers games which were quite interesting cuz most of them were new to me. After lunch was some treasure hunt game whereby we had to figure out key places in nus with the clues tt were given to us. Quite fun but super tiring and the sun was scorching hot not forgetting tt we were told to wear a BLACK top! As we move frm stations to stations, we had to play some team-bonding games in order to earn the clue. The treasure hunt ended off with takeshi in which all freshies had to climb/crawl up a steep slope and the ogls would be at the top pouring down water or soap occasionally. haha, the main idea was to get us, the freshies all wet and dirty! But too bad, my grp girls all came up quite dry and not as dirty as they wanted us to be.Btw, the guys were really quite nice to lie on the mat to allow the girls to step on them in order to reach the top and the way how they pulled us all up. After the game, we then headed to eusoff hall to check in and to clean ourselves up. Next was dinner and then, meeting of our secret pal(SP). We were all blindfolded and led to different places whereby we had to interact and play some mini games with 3 other ppl. For mine, it was 2 girls( 1 frm poly & 1 frm jc)and this indo-chi guy. The poly girl super funny & outgoing la, kept telling us lame jokes to entertain us. Oh and there was this game in which the girls had to peel an orange each and feed the guy! And the ogls were like envying the guy la, 3 girls feeding 1 guy. haha. We also played 7-up whereby we had to say up whenever there were multiples of 7 or it the no. consists of 7 and if u say wrongly, u will feel butter on yr face! Btw,sp interaction was the last activity for the day. Since our faces were quite oily, we went back to wash up and after tt, our whole grp went for supper at the prata shop! Fyi, it was past mid-night already! So, by the time we went back to our rooms, it was abt 2 plus? oh ya and we managed to squeeze 4 of us girls in 1 small single room with all of us sleeping on the bed! haha.
Day 2- CLUEDO! The day started off with cluedo day in which we had to go around sde interviewing & interrogating the various characters in order to gather evidence or pick up clues to determine the murderer of a girl called Pretty. However, is not as easy as it seems cuz some characters purposely want to tekan us, making us do stupid & crazy things! After cluedo day were talks by Loreal, Time and some estate & building management club. Following tt was mass dance! haha, apparently some of the moves were meant for rag too. After tt was dinner time and....after dinner...cluedo night aka fright night!! That was the time whereby we would be able to see who killed Pretty and how she died. It was super super freaky! I admit tt i was very scared and I screamed until my thoart hurts alot.There were 7 stations in total but i left halfway to join csc camp before finishing the last 2 stations. The very 1st station was this deserted 2 storey house probably outside nus.Inside the house, red paint were splashed randomly all around,espec the toilets and about 3-4 ppl were dressed very very ghostly. I had to enter the house with my partner to look for the clues at each storey. In the end, we were so scared tt we ended up screaming and trying to figure our way tt we forget all abt the clues! I almost freaked out when I could not find the way out k! When we were finally out, the whole grp was like practically staring at us cuz apparently we screamed the loudest and took the longest time to find our way out. Oh well, we were the last grp so u cant blame us right? 2nd station was in a toilet in which we had to look for a msg. Luckily for me, I managed to figure out the msg without walking past thru the 1st cubicle cuz i heard frm those tt went past it, someone was actually grabbing their leg! It was already quite eerie to see someone standing on top of the sink top covered with a white cloth! 3rd station was the staircase exit...We had to walk down frm the 4th floor all the way to the 1st floor and the task 4 this was to apply powder on pretty's hand or feet and to read the autopsy report. Thankfully, i went in with a guy for this station and I must really thank him for calming me down and making me feel not so afraid.4th station was a walk thru the super dark sde tunnel. Last station tt i went to was the lift to 5 the floor. For each pair, of 1 us had to put on the red shoes provided which can be found in the lift and we were supposed to identify the colour of the necklace. Once the lift stopped at 5th floor, we could hear a girl sobbing in a very ghostly tone. So, we walked further in trying to grab the necklace frm her to check the colour and cuz it was super dark, we thot it was black! The girl actually told us to check the colour and pointed us to go nearer to the light and guess wat, someone just jumped out frm behind! Thus, we screamed and screamed and hurrily told the girl the colour and attempted to get out of the place. To our horror, when we pressed the lift button, we had to wait for the lift to get to the 5 the floor and when we got in, the lift door took such a long time to close cuz we could not find the correct button to press and i think we accidentally pressed the fire alarm button! What a joke. And so after tt, I decided tt I had enough for the night and thus, I went for the csc camp. After checking into my room once again, followed cheryl, lixin and ying yin to the prata place to meet my csc grp for the 1st time. I'm so glad tt my grp mates were rather outgoing and friendly so didnt not really felt tt awkward.
Day 3-External Hunt for 1st half of the day. For this, we had to complete a list of things stated on the paper and also take pics of a list of items as we travel from 1 place to another. Actually, the main objective was to know more abt some of the homes tt the csc members visit often. Went to Sunlove for the IDs, HCA hospice and student care service(clementi).It was so fun travelling around with mochamelts, all the stupid lame stuff tt we did.. I still remember that we were not supposed to talk for 15 mins so we decided to make use of the bus ride frm hougang to amk. So once we entered the bus, we kept real quiet and tried to communicate using hand signals. The amusing part was when every1 just went crazy and started taking pics! The councillors were mean la, always trying to sabo us freshies. But at least, we managed to take 1 scandalous pic of cheryl & yu zheng! Another one was tt we were supposed to talk either very slowly or very fast and it turned out to be super hilarious. Everyone practically just burst out laughing and i think we annoyed the ppl around us in the bus. haha. So happy tt we were the 1st grp to reach nus with most of the things all doen and completed! At night was cluedo night!! I must really say tt csc cluedo rwaks! The ppl can really act and the best really were xiang nu ren and bian tai! I think till now, me & ee hiang still freaks out whenever we see tt bian tai guy!
