I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'M A TEX, I'M A TEX, I'M A TEXAS STAR. AND I COME FROM A COUNTRY WHERE THE COWBOYS ARE. I CAN SWIM, I CAN RUN, I CAN THROW A ROPE OR TWO. I CAN SHOOT VERY WELL WITH MY SIX SHOOTER GUN, BANG! - that's my new favourite song. :Dahhaha. camp. npcc camp. actually it was quite fun, well, some parts at least. lotsa ponners turned up! errr, wong spent the night at my house then the morning of the camp, my mom fetched us both to school. we were like damn early lah omgawdo. so we took a walk around school looool. then the main events of the first day were jungle survival, topography and nightwalk. jungle survival was just spent walking around the school, learning about how to survive in a jungle. :o wongyunlum not bad sia, she talk about the field cooking don't need to look at the notes de. anddd i completely missed out the shit hole part. :s oops man. looool.
topography was FUNNNN okay. sir jiahao followed my group and kailer subbed junwee. since junwee was like assistant in charge of the topo thing. so we went to the rock climbing thing outside sports hall for the first station. where we saw junwee lol. thennnn there was some mix-up about the game thing, so we managed to get 2 points even though we needed like reallyreally long to complete the puzzle. and then we did manymany cheers for the station master! so we got another 2 points. :D then went to the other stations where we did stuff reallyreally quickly and all. especially the fear factor station, weijie chionged like, 3 lemons on his own. skillzx man. we missed out on the last station which was below junwee's house because of time constraints, then we had to RUSH back to school. once we reached school, got lectured and stuff, because of some misunderstanding about the time we were supposed to reach school after the topography thing.
got lectured for around 1 hour for that. missed out on campfire preparation and flag lowering. so we all just rushed to dinner then preparation for nightwalk. nightwalk was boring for me/chaohsien since our station was kinda useless. :/ but according to cadets, nightwalk was really fun and all. ;o wished i could have tried out the route and stuff. errmmmm, budden we had problems too lah. when nightwalk was about to start, suddenly mad whistle blowing was heard. so we all had to wonder whether we had to bring the campers down as well or just NCOs go. then the campers also were panicking and stuff. so in the end, all fall in. then a little bit waste our time. =.=
first group debrief was okay, reallyreally short. i think less than half an hour. then everyone drank milo for their supper. fall in and sec2s plus sec3s got lectured by sir edwin for SOMETHING which i have no idea what it is about. so we had the nightmare-ish pt from hell. then after that we started debrief around 12? not so sure. anddd got lectured till around 3 like that. people were falling asleep left and right, then the CIs got irritated, but can't really blame us, it's like so late (or early) and we had to fall in really early as well.
so after we got dismissed, i managed to squeeze in like 10 minutes of sleep before we were off for sentry duty. slept for another 5 - 10 minutes during sentry duty, which was from 3.30 - 4.15. so by the time we got back to where we were sleeping, it was like 4.30. and we had to wake up at 5. so managed to squeeze in another 10 minutes of sleep. then we all wake up, chiong to rope obstacles place to make sure everything is okay since CIs wanted them to be perfect for the campers, leading us to have to wake up at that ungodly hour. so then i watched people tie everything together, since i didn't know how to tie nuts and i was reallydamn sleepy.
after that was fall in then pt. managed to complete the sets without seriously injuring myself, budden i skipped the running around school thing. went to help out the warden's walk thing while the campers were running. then in the end the campers returned too early, so the PTIs had to get them to do some weird things at the basketball court place. and geraldine fell down. D: so accompanied her to the medic area then waited till pt was over and we started rope obstacles.
rope obstacles had like 4 stations. for the second station, i was already like half asleep, half awake. for the third and fourth station, i was seriously dozing off. budden it was like a super not consistent sleep. like, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up. cause mam fiona, sir jipeng, senior NCOs jieheng and stella were at the next station, so i didn't dare to sleep lmao.
after rope obstacles, we practiced campfire songs! and i learnt the sexy texas song. damn nice song lololol. halfway during games, it rained so we had to change to contigency plan. then group6+7 made their way to mystery number wooooo. group6 lost to group7 awwwwww. after kianann's station, we were like stoning outside of np room because the pacman station apparently wasn't free. so i asked them to sing I Ask My Love LOL. then we had geraldine and mingyeow pair up to act out for us from group6. group7 was cheechong and rachel LOL. budden they kuku, don't wanna do the actions and stuff. then senior NCO letts was also there looool. so we didn't get to complete the song, but nvmmm, it still provided me with entertainment LOL.
after finishing, we went back and then had to separate into the various squads for drill session. sec3s went to the area above car porch to do drills. then a lot of the ponners didn't join in. since we don't know how to do/too tired to care. so after awhile, we got dragged into carrying benches for campfire preparation lol. organise everything in the canteen and stuff. then sec2 squad came in, doing their drills and the sec3 people went back up again. everyone started sleeping once they reached the staircase part and sat down LOL. except for posh and yonghui i think. when i woke up, they weren't sleeping and our squad disappeared omg. blergh, so after that all the NCOs had to bring the benches from the canteen to the area outside backgate because the ground wasn't that wet anymore and stuff. carried A LOT of benches. then fall in again for flag lowering. then off to dinner we go.
that dinner was the best dinner EVER, and was the only meal where i actually ate more than a mouthful of something lol. gave away all my veggies and potatoes anddd i was left with the sexy rice+chicken drumstick thing. wooohoooo. ateateate then got distracted by the senior NCOs ordering macdonalds. so after eating, chiong around doing last minute stuff. so after everone finished eating and all, fall in and proceeded to backgate for campfire. funnnn manzx. the songs were really loud although really messy. then the campfire performances were good, at least compared to the ones i saw in rehearsal and stuff.
after campfire was group debrief again. lalala group6. then dunno why they didn't get to have supper, so they were all called down after getting dismissed to drink their bean soup thing. so NCOs had to go for debrief again. and thankfully this debrief was shorter. had to leave around like 12.30 for sentry duty but didn't get to leave on time because sir chiho was lecturing. so only managed to leave around 12.45 and only the guys were there. so i had to go up to their bunks and call the girls down. then had to rush to the fire area to call junwee back but they couldn't leave the fire unattended so i had to go back to the squad and request politely for bryan and joeshua to fall out so they can sub junwee and chaohsien so that we can FINALLY GO FOR SENTRY DUTY. left the campers at their respective positions and sorta told junwee the brief outline of what happened while he was guarding the fire.
after sentry duty, went back for debrief again. this time we were released earlier, around 2 plus? and then didn't really sleep again, because had to settle the prizes and stuff. didn't really notice when i dozed off budden woke up around 4 plus? and waddafk everyone gone. then i was still halfasleep and chionged out to where i saw a bunch of NCOs were gathering so i also stone there then turns out NCOs fell in further away so i didn't see them budden had to fall in so i was like OMG and run back to 104 after seeing everyone run back. found out that it was actually fire drill so then when whistle blow we all chiong back again then i forgot what happened after that but we had some game thing regarding birthdays. so by the time we finished playing the game and went back to the room it was around 5 plus? then we had to wake up at 5.30 or something budden dunno who say change to 6 lah. so we all tried to get to sleep.
wake up, chiong out. pt! this time it was taekwando lol. i kept laughing at junwei, cheechong and some other campers whose names i dunno lmao. the way they do taekwando really very weird. :x dododododdododo pt then after pt all fall in outside np room where campers got scolded because they didn't even notice that their flags missing and stuff. then breakfastttttttttt and stuff but they also had to come up with some cheer to appease sir jiahao so that they can get their flags back. the cheer they came up with wasn't bad but then they kept forgetting what to say and then they had to retry like 4 times. but they got their flags back woo!
so briefing on area cleaning by GEYI! then we went for area cleaning. group6+7 in charge of cleaning tents. so cleancleanclean then one damn embarassing thing was that when i was pulling out the pegs, there was one peg reallyreally stuck so i had to pull reallyreally hard budden suddenly the peg came flying out and i fell reallyreally hard on my butt, on the muddy ground. D: then keefoong? and cheechong laughed at me. D: campers nowadays no respect, loooool. so then junwei, weijie, mingyeow were in charge of cleaning the tent thing while keefoong?, cheechong and meh were in charge of pulling out the pegs and stuff. so dunno why everyone shift to volleyball court. then i stone there super long because i dunno how to do shitzx. and whatever i do, yeeteng do the opp. lmao, so to reduce confusion among the campers, i diam. then i go do the peg thing. :/ anddd halfway through the area cleaning thing, i got a coffee packet thing which was apparently from Sir. ;o lolll. thennn group4 and group5 came to help us! so we managed to finished much faster than it would have been with only two groups.
after that was group debrief, budden in the end campers all chiong the pineapple/apples that the CIs gave and totally dao meh. T_T lool. then sir edwin and sir chiho joined in group debrief for a short time. :s so after that was speech by OC then prize presentation. SPONGEBOB GOT BEST PERFORMANCE LOL WTF?! everyone totally xia dao lmfao, then we got first for topo also! :D anddddd CHEECHONG GOT BEST MALE CAMPER LOL?! budden the final choice was between junwei and cheechong. both from the groups that i spend most time with, so i was quite proud of them both hohoho. :D after they finished prize presentation we went to take GROUP PHOTOOOOOS.
then debrief by TO and some CIs. then after THAT debrief was another meeting thing for the ponners. so by the time we finished, it was around 2 plus. then yunlum and i chiong to bathe. cause we couldn't stand the ickyness. :S then after that, we decided to go to pizza hut for some REAAAAL food! and then on the way back, saw campers at Macs, so we wavedwavedwaved and then yunlum bused home while i cabbed home.
after signing in and stuff, i went to sleep LOL. slept from 4 plus to 9 plus this morning. i think that i'm such a pig loooool. so then i started blogging and here i am! hahaha, finally finished with the long postttt. i think i'm actually looking forward to going to np in the future. o_O not too sure, but i DON'T WANT TO WEAR FULL U LOL. okayokay, i'm off to eat something, since i basically didn't eat anything except for the packet dinner in the camp. zoom. byebye. :D
