im tired. i want to catch a lil more sleep. on the computer table lies my econs tutorial - those freaking pieces of paper. pardon me if i curse, but damn. econs tmr. urgh. and nothing but something very unappealing to me.
but well, i guess these few days are really worth the lethargy cos things like that probably happen once in a lifetime and the experience i bring back with me is simply unique. and yes, im back from ubin, safely in one piece.
apollo camp 270506 - 290506 think this camping experience is a lil different from prev camps i had before, cos its seriously nothing too tiring. not-too-bad an environment, enthu and great company from fellow sevenfivers, the things that we had gone through together. guess there are people out there who dont like this camp at all, but i guess its really about the people and that experience. and the attitude. no point guessing, sevenfive made this camp worth remembering ((:
let's see what i will remember...
there were 17 of us. it's a lil pity that not all of us can join for the camp though =\ avis totally rocked big time ((: we were enthu, we were fun, we were sianned and tired at times, and we learn to understand each other a lil better (:
cassandra - our nice and friendly and pretty trainer. one important thing, she does not despise us. though sometimes she can be a lil inflexible, but ah well, at least she has her friendliness to compensate and everything. smile- cass and her "avis, OI!"
speaking about this OI OI thing, all the trainers literally do the "_________,OI..." to catch our attention which became a little irritating near the end of the camp, maybe they should try to invent more phrases. >< cos in the end, the last thing we want is the trainers treating us as idiots to make us repeat after them like brainless fools.
food (: was surprisingly very edible and in fact at times better than canteen food i think. and the great thing they could provide us was piping HOT milo. nothing beats that in the cold nights. and of course the initial smuggling of food, and eating those sugar biscuits in a wonderful place called the shower toilet. HAHA. and the outdoor cooking. xD the sausages that saved our stomaches, the crunchy potatoes with that raw smell, the hard but alright carrots and the inedible onions. oh and i've got a big blister on my big toe and two small ones on my second toe from the fire sparks that flew. = the not-so-waterproof tent. tent was wet on day one so i went with wet clothes on that day. gotta apologise if i whined a lil too much about that, was just fuming at myself. ack. and i so cant sleep in a tent cos i cant stand the moist inside and it gave me headaches. tried sleeping outside on the second night but couldnt stand the cold in the middle of the night and had to retreat back into the tent. and the bottom that seeped water so we end up waking with our shirts and shorts wet. and our tent stinked cos of the wet clothes. okay and yueqi's and my wet bags xD shared tent with yueqi, sophia, shueli and siyun. (: and siyun literally tossed and turned when she sleeps. hoho.
our ice kachang song (: and of course the "bom x9 shalala"
our makansutra. very very hungry hungry very hungry hungry very chikalaka pi-a pi-a x2 JIA!
the obstacles (:
first of all. tcp! team challenge pyramid was really a challenge. 8-storey high stucture where we have to go through 13 obstacles to reach the top before doing a finale flying fox down. its truly a great challenge for me cos i think im the most unsteady in class considering i seriously have a phobia for heights and a poor sense of balance. its been a miracle i managed to pull through the entire thing. and of course, with great team one! which comprised of reihorng, yingchern, me and kityeng! thanks loads you guys really rock! HAHA. rei horng's super duper steady. like tai4shan1. hehh. without those encouragements in the air, i think i'll just die worrying on the spot. and of course, fellow 75ers who encouraged me along too ((: the log obstacle and the step of faith were the scariest i think =x not to mention the loose tile i grabbed during the rock climbing section. zzz. anyway, great job everyone ((:
acid rain; zig-zag balance; tyre thingy; mission impossible; rafting i guess these activities really served as good bonding.. not to mention at times you really wish there were more ppl around... take rafting for example, you see people getting stressed during the building of the raft but cant help much cos there are 3 or 4 ppl who know how to tie proper knots.
this camp is truly a pleasant experience. ((: and there were at times, really real mental challenges for me. like the tcp. dont know whether its just me or what, but i made a lil interesting observation during the camp... hahah. it seems as though the girls are the ones making decisions in class, but well, the guys do rise up to the occasion i guess (: and they can be quite gentlemanly if they want to, haha (okay wait, that's not a praise, before they get ego or sth) and sevenfive makes a great group to be with.

29th may passed just like that. im surprised i stayed strong throughout the day. its been years and for once i managed to hold back my tears. this is another reason why i needed to sleep outside that night. i needed the time to do some reasoning. and im glad i did. and its truly a better year. dont know how well im taking this, but at least its a lil better than prev years.
