Prospective Perspectives

Busy but wanted to blog. About camp.

iMedia Camp 2006'

Day 1

Ok first day was to report at 8.30am at grandstand study area. I thought it was 8 -.-ll very early. Then later everyone chatted theen we did some stupid things and some of us got minor injuries but nevermind. So later everyone went to mac lab to put their stuff down and there was a short briefing on the itenary.(think spelling wrong) First was icebreakers.

For icebreakers we had 4 games, 2 sit down de, 2 move about. Ok got 1 game was really fun, the friend basher or something, forgot what its called. First we all sit in twos, then there's this person in the middle who will go after any of the people that are sitting in front, so if he is headed towards any person, the person sitting behind has to shout the name of another person sitting in front until someone gets whacked and becomes the basher. So later we all wanted to saboh john so when he tio the person sitting in front, we all shout and tell the guy sitting behind not to shout any other name. TIO SABOH twice lah haha. Dam funny.

So after that, slack around in mac lab and then people started playing tony hawk pro skater 4. Then circulate around the other coms lolx. Was like WTH?? TONYHAWK?? And the mac lab was like suppose to be open to the rest of the school lol.

Then had lunch, and started amazing race. First had to find our ICs. Ours was john and we took like 15-20+ min to find him lah. Dam waste time, other groups like arrange with IC liao lah. Then we call him he dun want tell us where he hide.

So later first clue took us dam long time to figure out, so did the second and third. We spent like 2 hours finding HMV. The clue to the location was really vague. So my team ended up being last. Everyone then gathered at clarke quay and ate macs there, after that we walked round boat quay cos mr wang said the sights here not bad.Then we came to this fountain and then john like ran through the water spouts! The water dam stink though. Took a few pics then walked to city hall mrt. Everyone then walked back to school and got ready for nightwalk.

Nightwalk was, i don't know, some say its scary, well frankly i think its just sick. The scary part, well...MAYBE i was a 'lil scared when we were in the total dark area a.k.a dungeon. There was really scary. Yeah one funny thing that happened to my group was when we were in the D&T toilet, then its like 'cos we had to find the body part of our doll. So there were many many cubicles so i like kick open forcefully and like got balloon behind so its like ervin thought that was a bit cheat haha so he ask us to open with hands only. When we couldn't find it later, he was nice enough to tell us where he hid it. Yay ervin you rock.

Then i fear the moment when we had to go to the chapel. That was scary too cos the place was totally unknown to us. We checked the cupboards but they didn't hide it there. We had to look for the head. Then bo bian, only left the chapel, The doors were wooden. The windows wasn't transparent. Then place was dark. Really dark. The doors were closed. Luckily and i mean LUCKILY, two other groups also came at the same time to find their dolls' body parts, so its like all three groups all chiong inside. Everyone waited, then i went to open the door, kicked it open. Lol. Then it like flew and banged into the wall, dam loud. Stepped inside with one step then jacky pushed me, shocking xD. Then we faster ran around looking for the head, i found it on under a desk. Yeah when i first went inside i took a good look at the chapel, the wooden benches were short. stumpy, looked as if they were made for little children, the walls still fresh white, the most holy symbol, jesus's cross was laid at the end of the room, directly in the middle. Ok i know i suck at descriptions, but the whole thing abit eerie, most probably because of the irony that the chapel is a holy place and you would likely least expect anything wrong or not so 'clean' to happen here. So after getting our doll part, rushed down and had to fix her up. After fixing her, we got like 3min to find water bombs a.k.a plastic bags in the area, the statues there. I last minute found some under the arm pit of one of the statue lol. Nice hiding place. Then when we counted and we had like 20 bags. At first we thought dam little, later we asked around, first group found nothing, second group had like 7-8, and later ervin said, "We hid like around 80 bags there." OMG WOOTS ^_^

Yeah then we all went back mac lab. I didn't shower woohoo^^ too lazy. So later at first played xbox, jacky was really angry, first he was pissed off by the night walk, then later 'cos like nobody listening so he got pissed also. Bad mood swing =(

Yeah and watched 'saw' before sleeping. M18 brrrr*** abit the gory but i could stomach it. I guess so. Yeah and some people played xbox all the way till the next morning even though we had a course. Slept at around 3++

The air-con was really cold brrrrr ( '~' ) *shivers*


Day 2

Hmm woke up at around 7. Really really cold, 'cos I think i didn't sleep inside the sleeping bag the day before, i slept on it. Frozen, went out almsot immediately to 'de-frost'. No toothbrush. Rinse mouth only xD

Breakfast was in primary school canteen. Burgers from the auntie at the first stall. Scrumptious. Then everyone was like buying coffee?? Good though. Helped to perk me up. Then went to play basketball awhile, morning exercise i guess. Then headed back to mac lab. Did the photoshop course with mr wang. Learnt and revised some stuff today. Dammit i hate the picture he took of me, i didn't care to groom properly before the photoshoot. Its HORRIBLE. Urrgghhh.

Then later 'cos the other peeps doing video course, us photog people got to slack off abit. Go on outing to east coast park to take pictures. Trust me its not a good place for nature photography nor sea photography. Lacks landscapes too. From the shore to the shoreline its like totally plunging suddenly downwards, U-G-L-Y. Rather not photogenic, a more 'refined' answer quoted from mitchell lol. Speaking about mitchell, got to know more about him during camp. Very noisy. Urrgh. Luckily on the return journey he decided to cab with the rest while me and zheng got a cab to ourselves. So tired that we both slept in the cab all the way till school. Everytime i opened my eyes( random: sounds like lyrics from a song) was like just nice the fare was at 10 cents before a dollar. Paid $9,80, transport fee provided from ms lim whoppee!

Was tired then felt like sleeping, at mac lab they were playing halo. Guess the course ended huh. So had free time before waterbomb started. SO went to play basketball. Ok at first play by ourselves, but took very long to get organise, so later played with scouts. Heong sia, darren a.k.a orange shirt guy was freaking fast and could dribble well, can layout but can't shoot i think. Their point guard. Kwan hong score abt half or more, dunno. Final score was 8 or 9 to 6 with us losning lah. They had like 4 defenders? OMG? And our offense team was me, rongxian, jacky? And jacky had defend and dribble at the same time which IMO is very tiring. So about after our 5th point, i ask him to pass me after half-court if not too tiring for him. But not so good cos defense was really crammed in and i had no time to dribble in after the pass. Yeah ball got stolen once or twice, And lost ball like about 5 times. Haix, dribbling still nt good. Primary school court dam hard to shoot in and rong xian everytime was shooting and i had to catch all rebounds. But always end up tio gang then cannot move about. Later i think he managed to shoot in 1 ball. Woohoo. I scored abt 3 shots, all from below basket. I remember got 1 score dam nice, think grab the ball le charge in, turn around 1 defender the 切板 which was dam nice.

Many blisters on my feet, i counted about 5 -7 and 2 of them the skin was peeling, classic example not to play basketball barefoot, especially at places like the primary school basketball court.

Die liaos i thought, later water bomb cannot run. Indeed i couldn't. S*** and i was like sort of team captain. Burden. Haix. At first still ok, but after running through field, OUCH OUCH OUCH. I HAD to WALK. Made me dam obvious target lah. Was limping throughout after that, sort of except for the times i force myself to run. Water bomb totally rocked. During the free for all that is. We took the host and was spraying at exco toilet's door and the excos like walked out 1 by 1 then start splashing everyone. Pure pawnage. >.< Got thrashed by excos this year 'cos i think nobody dare go in, i came in just after i went to look for any remaining water bombs. Then took dustbin lid (cheating yes i know) then help 'tank' for manfred they all who were holding the hose. Waa excos cope the lid through the door and ceph said don't use 'cos its IMBA lol. So later got alot of tug of war, everytime we BARELY managed to get the hose from the excos cos of of number of peopel i guess. Then got 2-3 times got people saboh'ed the water tap so we got no water cmin out. !st time paris and someone else fixed it, 2nd time i went to turn it on. And henry's really strong. Tugged with him for the hose face to face. My arms nearly like broke off. Then later 'cos no more water bombs then like roy took pails of water and splashed us bucketfulls of water. Like the escape the water park liddat. Lol. Then later i accidently pointed the tip of the hose into one of his eyes. OMG SO SORRY ROY. ACCIDENT REALLY SORRY HOPE YOU'RE OKAY. REALLY SORRY.
Then later we like running out of ammo and alot of our forces nth to do go back mac lab i think then no more bombs too. So like i see around, then ask who not injured, then like paris and zhi qun answered, think got somemore but they like guarding the door so i like tell them, we chiong inside exco base and grab any water bomb ammo and chiong out. Ok it sort of worked when we managed to get the door large enough for the three of us to chiong in, prob was nobody covered me, i was the only one who chionged inside. Then later i chionged for water bomb and ben. wong saw me grabbing and he went like oh F*** then i faster chiong then i could see people gonna grab my hand so i anyhow throw the wrapped water bombs around then left only 1 bunch of water bombs and i estimate about 15 like that. then chionged out a.s.a.p. Excos were tugging me from behind and shao ren was like clutching on to me as i tried to break free. Dam hard, i almost wanted to frenzy and burst and both my legs started cramping up and then when i came out i was like, " *Huff* Na, here got somemore ammo. *puff*" AND I PASSED THEM TO XIAO KANG. Was so blur that i didn't realise it, he was just going to waste THE BOMBS. SURVIVED FROM EXCO CLUTCHES WITH STILL MY BLISTERS AND PEELING SKIN AND CRAMPING ARMS AND LEGS. Then later i think jacky wanted to fast forward everything so he call for stop on free for all. Awww it was fun while it lasted.

Then play 征集密码 which was dam fun too. I was like the first one to tio. First someone sets this number then keep guessing and the gap between the highest number and next lowest number keeps shortening till someone guesses the 'correct' number and then everyone throws their bomb at him. Dam fun.

Later took the only shower of the camp, at D&T toilet. Woots. Had leftover bombs so i start throwing into random cubicles GG.

Later we watched 'stay alive' on projector screen so nobody played xbox and everyone was dam tired so i think most went to sleep after that movie. Then ceph played 'she's the man' after that and only like about4-6 people stayed up to watch that cos the rest either too tired, watched before or sleeping already. Then henry was first to go down, then me, then hua peng. Duno bout shan wei. Zheng managed to complete the movie WOW.

And the air-con this time wasn't so cold 'cos i slept inside =D


Day 3

Ok woke up quite late compared to the rest, guess 'cos stayed up for the movie the night before and didn't manage to complete it =(
Then later i went i was keeping my sleeping bag, noticed my wallet and handphone there was open, thought i must've left it open somehow yesterday but later i found out it wasn't.
Later received complaints from people that they kept hearing that 'O-ha-yo' ringtone from my bag and said dam noisy. Then i said oh yeah, its my alarm tone. Big sorry for disturbing your sleep, it rang like about 6 in the morning?

Had pan cake for breakfast. Abit the filling 'cos of the kaya filling plus pancake but really nice though. Then did a 'lil morning exercise with MC and zheng at secondary basketball court.

So reported at mac lab and we were going to have our outdoor activities. I just peeled off the skin of my right foot and its dam big patch. Hurts even when i had my slippers on. Outdoor activites were all like the usual camp-train-teamspirit type of activities. Quite fun, realised that that can climb from grandstand to the grandstand study area through a short pole. But need the help of a mattress lah. To cushion landing. Later when reached the 4th station which was the water bomb one, my foot started to hurt real bad. I was limping again. After running a few times with jun wen, i totally couldn't stand it and said that i did the water bombs instead. Even as the water ran through my feet, it was suppose to cool it but it still hurt. Finally completed last station which was spider web and rockwall. Then later had to make a tower with straws. Ours like even before wind test drop le. Zheng's group the best, most stable.

Then later packed up and went home after the de-brief

Yeah the peitition's thing up again. Wth i thought that incident ended long ago.
