Just came back from my school Sec1 orientation camp : Camp Initium. It was from 4th to 6th (3d2n).
1st Day...Thursday, 4thJanuary2006
I went to school by bus and reached there about 7.15am. All the classes were in the hall, each class sat in two rows. Btw Im in 1 Integrity (aka Integ) . Firstly the camp leaders introduced themselves. Each class had 4 PSLs (camp leaders) (2 in charge of Integ group A and the other 2 in charge of Integ group B) and a head PSL of the class. Later they told us some camp stuffs and taught us some cheers but only 2 - 10 ppl sang cause all of us still not so 'shou' ( friendly).
After that we all headed back to the class, together with our leaders.We played some games and our ledars taught us more cheers.
Then we went to the canteen to eat lunch.Everytime mealtime we need to wait for quite awhile then can eat and before eating, we also must sing the Hungry cheer. The meals provided were very nice.
After lunch we had the Amazing HI Challenge (amazing race). We had to walk
ALOT. super lot lar. 1 - 2 kilometers cause it was outside school. and there were ten stations in total. when we finished around 5 - 7 stations it started to rain so everybody rushed back to the school. thank god the leaders told us to bring pounchos (raincoats) or else we were seriously wet. It was around 5pm.Then we bathed.Later we had dinner. Did the same thing... wait for awhile, sing the cheer then eat.
After dinner we went to the night walk. Its like we have to walk a trail that is very scary(purposely one). 2 people are supposed to walk together and then later another 2. 3 guys and i walked together. before that we waited kinda long.
*** u may wanna skip this cause its kinda long ***
starting is walking to the basement. the stairs were dam dark. after 1 or 2 mins we reached the basement (its actually the place where those ppl in the CCA, shooting shoot). it was also dam dark but still can see abit. we all dont want to be the one walking first so we got stuck there 1 or 2 mins (not cause scared but just dont want to be the first one).
then one leader came out of the darkness and ask us to just go.he also followed us. we walked then one chair dropped and something made of metal dropped onto the floor. but it wasnt very scary. when about to reached the end theres this door (inside got those fire things) suddenly kept banging. but also not very scary.
then went up. we heard this coughing sound. i dunno if it was supposed to be scary cause it wasnt at all.
later we were splited up. one of the 3 guys (i dunno his name) and i went up to 3rd floor first.we saw one of the PSLs. he said," are u ready to hear wad im about to say? ..." then this 'ghost' suddenly drops down. it looks like maplesea that ghost. not very scary but much more
scary shocking than the others. after that we were supposed to go along the corridoor(also dam dark) and then this guy with me was kinda scared and ask the leader to follow us. actually corridoor got nth. only at stairs when going down a stupid foot dropped down. it was not scary at all lar!( maybe abit shocking). then finished alrdy. we went back to wait at a place for other ppl.
*** ok come back and read now if u skipped that part ***
After the night walk we went back to the hall. We were sipposed to figure out wad to do at the campfire (the next day). We decided to separate it into 3 parts : funeral, wedding and constipation(it means problems shitting) (dunno if i spelled correctly). so the class was seperated into 3 groups and think of wad to do. i was doing funeral. but in the end no time. only constipation thought of an idea.
Next, all the classes gathered at hall then went to canteen for supper. did the same thing.
After supper each class got debrief. the teachers ask us wad did we learnt and stuff like that.
Later, we, boys went to hall to sleep while girls when to classrooms to sleep.It was around 11.15pm - 11.45pm at that time.i didnt bring sleeping bag so i slept on my towel.
2nd Day...Friday, 5thJanuary2006
Woke up at like around 5.45am.Everybody, including girls gathered in the middle of the hall My class that day got breakfast duty so we went down to put the drinks and the food on the table. Later the other classes came down and we did the same thing. Only today theres this guy praying before we ate. i didnt pray with them cause im a christian and they are catholic.
it was a friday, a school day so there was also assembly. we sang the school song and the anthem (not the one by good charlotte) . There this priest who came to the school and (i think) pray for the school.He say some things then some students say somethings. i dunno wad cause im a christian and they're catholics. while they were doing dunno wad, i was sleeping. i know i should show some repect but i was dam tired cause i slept very little. It ended around 8pm+.
Next we had another Amazing HI Challenge. This time it was in the school which is better cause we dont need to walk so much.and the games are much more fun! there was this dog and bone game where we are supposed to grab a soab in the middle of a few mats covered with soab! so in the end we were all wet and soaby. and another game where we were blind fouded and then go to a maze which was alot of tables put together.we had to crawl and feel our way out. another thing is that the floor is wet and the leaders will spray water at you!at the starting the leaders sprayed alot.they also can spray from top.
After that we had lunch.did the same thing.but no guy praying.
Then there was an auction.dam fun! We were supposed to use the HI cash we collected from the amazing HI challenge. but we wont know wads the item. btw we only won 7770 HI cash.First thing was sold at around 1050 HI cash. then the next one was sold at 2k++ then 3K++ then 4 or 5k. the HI cash the item was sold out kept getting higher and higher. We didnt shout out anything as we got very little HI cash and even if we did, some other class would shout a higher prize. Only at the end my class and 2 other classes join our HI cash and bought some tibits with 20k. and not all stuff other ppl bought were good, most of them were stupid prizes.
Next there was a CCA Briefing and Orientation.Talking about CCAs. They talked about their CCA at hall then later we went downstairs booth to booth to see the CCAs.
I've shortlisted some but dunno which should i join.These are some of it.
- Basketball
- Shooting
- Soccer
- Infocomm Club (IT club)
- Military Band
Also got Modern Dance but i think its only for girls.
Then we bathed and then campfire! But shortly after it started, it rained. so everybody went to the hall.and there was a small little fire going.We sang cheers and classes peformed somethings.
Later we had supper.ya, did the same thing.but with the guy praying.
then debrief.our teachers ask us wad we learnt and stuff like that.Finally we all went to sleep.
gtg eat dinner.no 3rd day.maybe next time.i dont even think you could read until here.actually i wanna change skin but i took super alot of time to blog this.well bye.
