SQUASH CAMP/CHALET!, Somebody's Me
Latest update: back from squash camp/chalet held in Costa Sands (Pasir Ris)
Day 1:
Met the rest of the squash family in school at 8.55a.m. We started out playing ice breakers in Court 1. Played "Dog and Bone", hahahaha was dang funny cos no matter what number, Jaron and I will rush towards Marcus/Marcute. Hahaha then there was one instant when Chris called out "All those previously from SJI", then I was the only one from my side going up against the 4 others in the other team. Hahahah totally what the bleh.
10-11: My group called "Group 2" started out with Group 1 playing squash. Did some drills under the tutelage of Chris and Mark.
11-12: Went for P.T. on the track under Zi Chao. Started out with 10 mins warm up run. After that had 400m intervals coupled with statics in between. Clocked 1.12, 1.25, 1.30 and 1.39. Hahaha had the invisible chair static after that, had to sing the "Green bottle" song. Hahaha I bet the others thought we were quite retarded...
12-1: Played Captain's ball. Hahaha Khairul(soccer) and Alvin (shooting) joined us midway. Had loads of fun with them. Never knew Yea Wen liked playing Captain's ball.
At 1, we reported back to the courts. We were given until 4pm to have lunch and make our way to the chalet itself. Combined with Group 1 called "Sui Bian". Hahaha went to KAP for lunch! Took pictures and made our way to the chalet.
Upon checking in at the chalet, we went for wet activity that basically involved bombing people and more people. Presented the group cheers and name. I think our group name was the most succint: Group 2, simply because we are group 2! Our group cheer was a rip-off of SJI's Michael house's cheer: "Rock on Michael". :D Hahaha some of the seniors saved up some cold water bombs for Zi Chao and bombed him. NICE. Hahahaha cleaned up the area and discussed the dinner the juniors are supposed to buy for the seniors. We decided to order Pizzas from Canadian 2-4-1. Discussed the number of pizzas inside the guys' hut and decided to order 16 14inches pizzas. Little did we know....
When the 2 delivery dudes came, (yeps, they required 2 guys to deliver that insane number of pizzas), we were intending to pay using Jia Sheng's NETS, but the guy was like "Oh you can only pay by cash or err..(pause) cash." So we had to run back to our rooms to get money to pay. Luckily Xiuhui, our lovely secretary :D, opened up the squash fund to help us. So yea, we paid $272.20 in total, luckily it's 2 pizzas for the price of 1.
Had a huge pizza buffet outside and ended up finishing only 12 boxes. I'm not sure what happened to the 4 other boxes.. maybe they disappeared for supper or maybe they were abducted by aliens. Hmmmm...
Played charades after dinner. Hahaha loads of fun once again, especially during the guessing of brands.
Went with Jia Sheng, Jaron and Aaron Lam to the front desk to go do our speeches, didn't accomplish much cos we were like almost dead. Reported the spoilt air-con to the front desk. Zhi Jing came and asked us to go back.
It was time for our night activity. Basically blindfolded walking around areas of Pasir Ris Park. Hahahah it's quite fun. My specs came apart by itself during the walk so yea, had to start getting used to seeing without specs for the next 2 days.
Went back after the evnt and some went to sleep. Went back out to the front desk to rest and the seniors told us to go back for something important.
Apparently it's the tsunami drill! :D Basically cos we were situated mere metres from the coast, we had to be prepared to run like mad to the bus stop situated all the way out to take a bus to safety in the event of a tsunami approaching. So yeps, we ran from our chalet all the way out into the night to the bus-stop. Then Zi Chao said, "Hey wait, how to take bus when you all don't have EZ link cards? So how? Go back take!" So we ran back to a checkpoint and kept running up and down from the checkpoint to the bus stop and back. Hahahah running at night is really nice cos it's real cooling. Pity the poor residents though, cos we were running on the drain covers.
Went to the carpark after the run where we were put through some exercise to test our bonds. Basically it's jumping jacks and yea we continued for quite a while. Got "pumped" each time we couldn't coordinate properly. Jaron put in good effort to help us coordinate. Chris debriefed us and we went back to sleep.
Went back out to the front desk once again cos it was soooo stuffy in the chalet. Went back to the chalet again and attempted to sleep on the table. Had interrupted sleep cycles.
Day 2:
Woke up at 9 plus to eat bread for breakfast before going off for treasure hunt. Hahahah had a lot of fun basically walking up and down Pasir Ris park. We combined with Carmen's group for the treasure hunt. Had a lot of help towards the end, thanks to Sherman! :D Hahahaha performed a group skit as part of the thing. Moral of our skit: "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". Made use of Barney to help exemplify this. :D
After that was the elections speeches. Everyone crowded into the girls' chalet. Mr. Tan, Mr. Seow Teng and some seniors came down as well. Hahaha I guess my speech was the longest? I got cut off by Zi Chao 3/8 into the speech cos mine was the last and everyone was dang hungry and wanted to go for dinner. Hahahaha During the Q&A, when Gloria, the senior A div Girls' Capt asked me to elaborate on my answer, I was like "okay, so it's like this..." and she kinda realised about the elaboration part and quickly modified to answering it in one sentence. Hahahahah dang funny, cos everyone was groaning at the elaborate on your answer part. Hahahaha :D
*Fast forward to BBQ after the elections results was announced. Sherman, the pro scout venture got the fires started! I didn't eat much at the BBQ, was at the pantry preparing the raw stuff by poking satay sticks through them. Dang fun activity to do when at BBQ! :D
After the BBQ, went back in to do stuff and settle pizza money. Hahahah went Macs for supper after a while cos some of the guys needed more food. Went back to chalet to play "Truth or Dare" with Zi Chao joining us. Hahahahha totally the highlight of the camp. WOOOOHOOO Did a lot of crazy things and asked a lot of crazy questions. Hahahahha confidential though. :D
Went to watch t.v. in the girls; chalet after that and snacked on bee hoon. Slept on the table again. Woke up a lot of times to change song playing on Aaron Lam's iPod Touch. Hahahahaha Shaoyuan is amazing. He slept on the stairs. His body will conform to the contours of the steps and he dislayed astounding gymnastical ability by being able to constantly contort his body to orientate himself. I've no idea how he managed to do that continuously for like 6/7 hours that he slept. I hope his spine is still alright.
Day 3:
We were going out for breakfast when Chris called us back. We were checking out and going to have breakfast after that! Went to White Sands and ate at the foodcourt. Hahahha Jaron, Xavier, Adhitya, Kenneth and I went back to school to play squash, despite having just survived the camp! Hahahah
Overall, it was a really fun camp. I believe we grew closer together as a family and learnt a few lessons on bonding. Though we didn't have any presentation related to the Treasure Hunt in the end, if we look beyond the results and search within the process, we'd discover that it applies to our nationals as well. Though we may not be the best or among the best (for the guys' team), we are still one big family! :D
The 2 guys delivering our pizzas! :D
The 12 boxes that we finished. Hahahaha pizza high! :D
Sherman (Senior Quartermaster) and I. Hahahaha he's really amusing.
You, do you remember me?
Like I remember you?
Do you spend your life
Going back in your mind to that time?
Because I, I walk the streets alone
I hate being on my own
And everyone can see that I refell
And I'm going through hell
Thinking about you were somebody else
[CHORUS]
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me
That Somebody's Me
How, How could we go wrong
It was so good and now it's gone
And I pray at night taht our paths will soon cross
And what we had isn't lost
Cause you're always right here in my thoughts
[CHORUS]
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me
That Somebody's Me
You'll always be in my life
Even if I'm not in your life
Because you're in my memory
You, will you remember me
And before you set me free
Oh listen please
[CHORUS]
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me
That Somebody's Me
That Somebody's Me
That Somebody's Me
guess you'll never...
