CAMP TEEN!
Heyyyy today’s like wednesday alr and i’m just back from a morning jog. :D:D nowadays i really love morning jogs, don’t know why but its like the start of the day where uve all the energy to spare! HAHA. felt great(:
Yesterday’s bball was kinda slack though. haha, i’m gaining back my stamina and less symptoms of anemia alr. i feel so great! but remember, don’t let whats around u affect ur soul, when environment changes, let ur soul be within ur self and not always changing or fluctuating :D heard that from shi xiansheng’s father in taiwan and i think it really helps me understand whats right and wrong(: Well, i’m like getting thinner like what people’s saying, so i’m eating the most nutriitionous food nowadays and my appetite kinda increased. Hopefully with my normal exercise schedule, and more food consumption (and defintely not excessively overeating or smt), and my abs exercises, i can get well and fit, and gain all my muscles again! JIAYOU CRYSTAL, U CAN DO IT!
So, u might ask how was tng yesterday? well the year 6’s didn’t come and there was still exams in the HALL. AND why did they ever place the gym below the hall, dumb building structure man! but anyways, we only used 1 pathetic ball to do some drills.
1st: san chuan layup(quite fail). LOL
then 3 rds track ( yayyayay i feel great, was first to finish the 3rds followed by jamie and the rest)
then coach apparently, to waste time, used the softball trampoline thing and made us catch balls with one count stops to train our timing
then more of slacking. talking about some formation, and i almost fell asleep. lol
then we did the changing directions thing in grps, some fangshou defence
and finally at 5, we divided into grps, did transition, b div did 15mins and me, nana, rachel, qi did 15mins with year 1s(next year yr 2s) and we hit 240 which was out target:D apparently i didn’t feel tired. yay i love u stamina!
Then last was the best!!!!!!!!!! MATCH!!!!. hahahaha i scored the first shot but then when i jumped ball with ann, she got it. damn gotta train my jump height again. maybe i shall visit the gym more often and increase leg weights to jump heigher! HEHEH. gain back my leg muscles! and oh yahh must play bball witht he guys more often to improve my layups, cross overs etc.
THen after training, went to Jing han’s house for 6/1 gathering! OMGOMGOMG i realised how much i’ve missed themmmm, esp yijie(:(: so we were talking and talking bout korean k pop stars, LOL, and TAIWAN FOOD!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMG!!! LLOLOLOL. and yeppp, recollections u know. and amaazingly seeing them all again brings back memeories and didn’t feel as awkward as how i imagined it would be.
I guess they were right” make new friends but keep the old, one is silver, the other GOLD” (: LOVE EM!
ANyway, i think samuel, raymond, yijie, ang shuang, eleanor still looked the same. hahha but jinghan’s damn tall and muslcular now. hahah he’s muslces quite nice siah! weiteck, still as blur i guess! cos he lost to us and was the ULTIMATE lagger in snapjack! HAHHA samuel became more funny, and eugene is really not as lame as he used to be, he’s much much more matured! and heh plays the guitar, and ohhh the 1st time i heard a k pop fan GUY!!! HAHHAHA so cute siahhhh(:
yepp. then we ordered canadian pizza and i totally failed @ ordering, guess the pizzaguy must have gotten rlly pissed with me for taking so long to ask what pizzas they have. LOL. then we played truth or dare BUT its rlly fail cos i think like we got no questions to ask each other and samuel kept on saying” So what was the last book you’ve read” HAHAHHA. EPIC muchhh! sadly i had to leave at 10, so it was like an exact 2 hour gathering for me! LOL. But yeaa, i’ll never forget that night(:
CAMP TEEN
HIHI so actually yesterday i was back from camp teen also. HAHHA before daddy sent me to trng. Well I met many new friends from like different schools but the camp sucks I guess, cos it was the SLACKEST CAMP I’ve experienced in my entire life. I guess when there’s a culturlal camp, I shld’t expect physical activities like OBS. SO when uve gone through OBS, u can GO THROUGH anything. LOLOL. First time I heard a camp where u have time to use handpones anytime u want, play psp, use the LAPTOPS to join the ONEpeople facebook group there. LIKE WTH right! So me sarah, kayleigh like totally regretted it and we kinda sneaked out early yest after getting our certificates!!! HAHHA. I think cos the camp facils are like 16 which is our age and the camp is more for pple who ar 14 or so. Cos there were like MANY small kids there man. They were kinda cute lahhh but I rather be a facil or co-facil and organise these kinda stuffs rather than joining this kinda things. The age grps really too different!
But anyways, the first day was super slack, ice breakers, balbla, introduced our selves. Played blow wind blow. The only new game was SAMURAI HAH! Which I’ve never heard before. HAHA but the rest was like kiddy games liao. Then we had a speech, lunch, then off to MOE LAbradour centre. It was FREAKING SMALL so I was kinda disappointed. A LOT of waiting, and then we settled down, played some team games which was kinda boring, except the rope swinging thing which was the only fun I had! HAHAHHA!!!!!! So awesome man. And YASH is really funny, he tried like a hundred times but still couldn’t go across. Then huishi and I were the catchers so we eneded up giving free hugs to a lot of people. Even guys. LOL
So next was some ladder game, blabla, easy peasy man. Then dinner which was fruit punch again and rice with curry chicken, some cultural feast. I think throughout this entire camp, they just kept on feeding us. Malay, Indian, western, vegetarian FOOD! Lol can seriously go there to gain weight sia. And then after we bathe, we had social time and there was STILL SUPPER! But nth beatsdhs’s millo, their hot milo was freaking spammed with sugar and we had red bean buns. Oh and yeppp I made knew friends.!
Got to know kayleigh, zengjin, husihi, nabilah, andrea, sarah! The girlsss from SUPER SPARTANS! Were were totally awesome man. We ended up camwhoring like mad. HEHHEh. Yepp. So the next day was the only fun day!
We woke up, had bfast again, this time it was roti prata with curry, sugar and soyabean! The first few days we could like eat when we get out food but I rather a camp where we had to cheer loudly likecrazy till we get food to eat and make it more challenging for us, but well I guess we can’t expect too much, can we? HAHHA next time I shall be more adventurous and join those super challenging camps more of my age:D so it shld be more fun! Then after that the bus send us to the hindu endowment’s board and we were lucky it was a Sunday and the Indians had morning prayers and there was a wedding there. Yepp so I learnt quite a lot about the Indian gods, how to make garlands with mango leaves, and this flower like thingy with some leaves and chrysanthemum flower LOL. Then lunch was INDIAN FOOD!
WOahhhthe Indian rice was damnn nice, and we had CURRY! Once again, keropok, fruite punch (AGAIN!) lol. And some warm milk desert that I really enjoyed! Then we were finally off to Kampong Buangkok after that. We walked to the Farrer park mrt which was a stone’s throw away although A LOT of people ended up using umbrellas and complained of the heat. Zzzz. Then mrt ride of cooling and we took allt he way to buangkok! YAY i rmemebered being lame with the rest and were seeing dora the explorer. We were like” where’s the map?” “I’m the map, I’m the map, I’m the map”! HAHHA so in the end I ended up leading the way to kan=mung buangkok though we had to stop like a hell lot of times cos pple at the back were freaking slow. LOL.
And we passed by woodbridge hospital and a lot of funny hospitals,hhaaha so were like joing ard, blablabla. Yeppp, I walked with zengjin and I found her a really nice person, though VERY exaggerating most of the time. Sometimes, when u actually walk with someone, its more fun, and yepp got to know Yash quite abit. Learnt that he has an uncle living in Czech Republic and he visits him like every year. And he can SPEAK like CHINESE when he’s an Indian. Freaking cool lahhh, hahhaa, and he didn’t have the weird Indian accent when he speaks Chinese @ all. What’s more, he speaks, Russian, French, Italian, English, Hindu, Czech. FREAKING COOL 8D hahahaa and he’s only 14.
So when we were @ kampong buangkok, it was enjoyable to know what a kampong lifestayle is like, the malay aunty and esp the chinse aunty living there was very nice and talkative, she’s been living there for 55 years alr and there were 14 malay and 14 chinese families int hat kampong. So she invited us to her hse, which was sucha peaceful place, and a her malay friend’s house whichwas slightly different cos they had parchments instead of walls when separating room from room.
Then next stop was 7 eleven and everybpdy was buying drinks, chips and stuff. HAHHA first time I heard a camp is so carefree, and still so civilised. Then we took the bus to dhoubygaut then changed to the circle line to Bras Besah and just took a short walk tot the Pernakan Museum. Since I was in the grp presenting on this place that night, me and huishi were buddies and we ventured ard the area.
Huishi’s totally reminds me of Liyee. OMG HAHAHA. She’s like an ahlian, who like photography, had 4 piercings on her right ear, super fare, and 15 this year. She’s from gymnastics so she’s like FREAKING flexible! TOTALLY flexible cos she can do the split. And like she’s those kinda of girl with high metabolism (heard her use broken eng to speak with her friend on the phone using camp) LOL, so she’s like those, coke, macs, chips, kinda person u know. HAHA.
Then……..i think she’s mixed peranakan too and I could tell she LOVED all the peranakan jewellery we saw @ the museum. Most of the time she was mersmerised by the motifs, artefacts, clothes designs which looked really expensive.
Yepp. So we went back, and a lot of us were starving alr, and we had a surprise dinner!!
FISH AND CHIPS:D I had like 2 buns, 2 coleslaws, fish, some fries and a lot of us were spamming CHILLI sauce and tomato sauce. HAHHA maybe that was me only! Then after dinner was cultural presentation, reflection. Oh and me, kayleigh, amirah and this girl were the belaying team for the next day so we had to go for”belaying sch” to learn to tie ropes and the belaying. I remembered that we wer quite tired alr and had to wait for the facils to teach us and eneded up it was alr 10+ so we chionged back to bathe and this grp of pple were like saying” WOAHH night exercise” HAHA. So cute siah. So we chionged to bathe, but there was a super long queue and the flood was digusting. But we couldn’t stand the stickyness so the water was DAMN SHIOK cos it was freaking cold. LOLthen there was supper so I grabbed a cheese bread and like a lot of milo. Hahaha. Bread and milo again.
Then third day was the WORST disappointment for me!!!!!!!!!! I actually camp to the camp juz for rock climbing and stuff and WOW we did nth cos it RAINED! T was seriously the worst day of my life and kayleigh and sarah were damn funny. They had this craving for KOI since the beginning of camp and were counting the hours left to after camp so they can chiong for KOI. HAHAHA.
In the morning, it was the first time we had a Chinese bfast. Beehoon, with fishcake and green chilli and this time the soya bean was freakingggggg sweet. But I dranked a lot cos apparently I became super hungry. Yepp then there was this talk in the canteen about some CIP stuff till noon. OMG that was the worst shit ever! I was like dying of boredom and actually fell asleep lahh!
Then lunch was NASI LEMAK. Hmmm more CURRY AND FRIED STUFF! Chicken wing, egg, cocnut rice, anchory and nuts, and cucumber. HAHHA since I was like constipating man I had 4 slices of cucumber and kayleigh was damn funny. She said she was spamming nuts and like had a bottle lid full of it and somebody kept starring @ her. HAHHAHA. And then husihi had llike 3 eggs!!! LOLOL. And I had DOUBLE CHILLI serving. Sighhh us and our CRAVINGSSSS!!!! Heheheh.
Then it started to rain….. and all I could remember was the whole afternoon was wasted in the hall listening to belaying instructions, playing some games, preparing for campfire night performance, doing handstands with the guys. But the only fun thing was dancing jumpstart (I think that’s what its called) with Amirah:D hahhaha so funnnn!! Cos I got the rhythm in the end! Then we tried to scale the wall on the hall and tio scolded by Eunice… HATE HER ! so I grabbed my psp and started playing NBA. LOL. So after that we had dinner which was Indian vegetarian food USING HANDS!!!!!
HAHHA sarah damn fail, I the end she tabuleh tahan and used her spoon instead. So we had rice, acham (chilli cucumber), AGAIN CURRY (vege), 2 pieces of fake meat each, and Keropok AGAIN! LOL seriously we kept on having keropok and curry for the entire camp. Now I know what to expect for CULTURAL camps in the future! HAHHA. But I ended up losing SOME stomch fats during camp, cos maybe we moved more then sitting @ home and suing the com and stuffs like what I’m doing now, and we had less variety of food cos I’ll be like munching away @ home. Although like lack of exercise but I think the day is longer and everything. Haha.
Then at night was CAMP FIRE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t get high as much as the other camps, but I think seeing the kids, nabilah, andrea, they all going crazy and like hearing her say that iit was her best campfire night ver, I guess I shld feel happy that she enjoyed it(: and truly I feel happy for her. HAHHA
And like u kno I was soing crunches @ mybunk almost every night, then I was sleeping on top, nabilah kept pn feeling the bunk shake and she will be like, “Crystal, doing crunches again ah” HAHHA. And I will be like YEAA!. LOLOL and the cool thing was the next morning, before we left for camp, everybody, well almost everyone was doing crunches too! SO KEWTTTT:D:D hahaha. I feel like some big sis playng follow the leader. Oh yahhh and like I think on the 1st night, me and kayleigh played MEHMEH and it was super fun!!!!!!!! Can’t believe I could finally catch the rhythm compared to last time during march when the STEP pple camp over n I couldn’t LOLOL. And then we played like this follow the leader game like the one we played during table tennis camp @ mount Sinai during year 2 ,with the team, and I realised that to bond a team, u really need to be a fun leader, be high like ALL THE TIME! And it’s a tough job, but in the end the camp will be much more worthwhile and remembered.
It takes a leader, to bring a team together:D Next time, maybe I shall join some crazzyy camp organising committee like during year 2 @ St. Jon’s island. Ahaha. Think it’ll be more fun^^
Yepp so the next morning we had to wake up freaking early, I couldn’t sleep cos the fan was chilly so in the end woke up at 5.30, slept till 6.45 or 7 then had bfast. 2hotdog buns and 2nd day’s soyabean:D
Then unpack, and off to one people. So that was yesterday. @ one people, music blasted, we played the bomb game, it sucks to be in the quiet team but I think the malay guys in the other teams were more HIGH cos like throughout this years, I’ve been through quite anumber of camps, but usually everybody’s Chinese. But this time, there were malays so they were more daring, high and outspoken, and definitely more fun. HAHA.
Then there was MORE WAITING!
Hahaha I think what I learnt from this camp would be:
1) PATIENCE
2) Associating with other cultures and religions
3) Made new friends from different races (Since my pri sch was a Chinese sch, and dhs is also a Chinese, I seldom get the change to make friends from different races, so this was a new thing for me)
4) Just appreciate and enjoy what u have and STEP UP.
:D so we had buffet ard 1+ and I was freaking starving. Had prawns, curry chicken again, nasi briyani, prata again. Broccoli, 1 miserable tofu cos this facil said I was too fussy. LOL, and fried fish.
YEPPP, and seriously ahh I think I shld be more simple and less fussy I the future. Just accept what I have, and eat it. HEHEh:D Then daddy came, bought chicken rice for me. LOL seriously I’m eating ALOTTTTTTT. But tasted Chinese food after so long is like HEAVEN LAH. Hahha(: and that was yesterday!!!
:D:D going for work interview ltr with cherv and ylling and then off to Kenny Rogers and get my Christmas hat tnight! HAHHAHA cyassss!
