ACE Camp Day 4
Wheew, Monday was when we were all going home. We had one last activity--->Orienteering. Orienteering was dang slack but fun!! We got to eat stuff!! I can remember this station. My first station. It was the worst!
Ms lim and Mrs Ho: "okay boys, pick a movie. Charlie's Angels OR Mission Impossible. You will eat either a bittergourd or chilli padi based on your choice."
So i thought chilli padi = spicy and Charlie's Angels = hot, so i chose Mission Impossible to escape the fiery tongues of chilli padi.
Guess what they said. According to them, Mission Impossible has hot scenes therefore we had to eat the hot item which was chilli padi!! i was like @@. Okay and to make it worse, you had to put the chilli padi in your mouth, crunch 3 times, show it to them BEFORE you could swallow it. And that was the real killer. I have an extremely low tolerance level towards Chilli. I usually abstain from normal curry or spicy thingys but this was chilli padi. Small yet it packs a fiery punch. As in extremely fiery punch.
So on my first crunch, everything was still placid.
On my second crunch, it started to get hot.
Ony my third crunch, there was when all hell broke loose. That feeling just shot right thru my nose and into the core of my brain. My tongue burned like mad. I was jumping around like mad..Yeah and tears were flowing like mad. It was just so dang hot. In fact, chilli padi can be used to help actors to cry. Just pop 2 in and BOOM! The tears will flow naturally. Seriously, it was dang hot!!!!!!
They offered antidotes which we had to choose again. This time it was between a sweet and ice water. We chose sweet because it introduces more saliva to neutralise the properties of the chemicals that made the chilli padi so hot. In the end, they gave us some ice water.
And we found out that THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO BITTERGOURD!!!! If you choose Charlie's Angels, they would probably say something like the girls are hot so you get the chilli padi. God. They scammed us.
But in the end, because we got most of the answers right, we got a small bag of M&Ms!! They may not seem much, but looking at the present situation and everything, M&M was worth kiling for..So it wasn;t too bad. It took my mind off the chilli padi!! But because we were not the overall winning group, we got dunked with water by the winning groups. Fun man.
They wanted us to wear a clean set of PE uniform back so i had one very clean shirt, which i hoped i would b\never use, casue the one i was wearing then was rather clean, if not wet. But as we neared the hill, the instrutor shouted "HORNET!!" And we went down. Just then the aCE leaders said, "SOL(that's the name of my team) you don't have to do.The hornet is for the other group." We were like @@. So i changed. Again.
We sang the School Rally once again on top of the hill once more, accompanied by the bagpipe. Somehow, i just love bagpipes. they sound really cool.. =P
Yep, so after lunch, the bus came and we all piled happily on the bus for our journey to freedom!! Felt so good to be back in Singapore. This camp taught me how precious Singapore is. I almost kissed the arrival hall of the Singapore checkpoint. okay, actually i didn't.
Woohooo!!!! =)))
