Well...what can i say... i can only thank God He sent 3 good men to my team, for i was on the brink of leaving.
Here's how it started off...
Met Sandy and Hui Qin, my elf-mates a.k.a Bananas as we wore the same coloured shirts. Walked over to the sports hall and registered... well...as walk-in participants we din have a group. So when i saw the list... i was thankful that she wasn't in the same group as any of those i have a vendetta with. Until i saw who her FA was. A particular HE. Yup. No names mentioned for now, unless if he irks me further. Anyway... the misconception was that the three of us would be placed in grp 5... which i was ok with as the FA was Soon Poh, my own friend and buddy, and Willard was inside as well... to my horror, we were placed in the grp that i dreaded. The grp with two particular guys i have an issue with. Guys who love to A.A (attract attention), and so on... yeah...basically, guys i won't trust my female friends with.
SOOO...began the downfall of my grp...or so i thought... lots of stupid ideas were given by one of em, who proudly declared that HE was an INSTRUCTOR. Well... maybe you'll be reading this. If not for a friend of yours who stupendously nudged me to pull you in to my camp company, do you think you'll still be so privelleged to go on putting such a superior front? As an instructor, one should help, instead of fooling around and being oh-so-snoobish. Yeah... to think you'd openly declare that you're an instructor, sends goosebumps up my arse.
SO what did HE do?
He was a GL, so with his fellow empire GLs, they shared their own inside jokes and contributed nothing, which didn't makes things better. Why? Simply because our group was already 50-50 freshies, we didn't really have any who were camp-trained for cheers. Of course i could help out...but with such meddlesome ppl ard, even if i did, the effort will be wasted, for they are a marjority. And so as usual, i waited it out, and kept silent. For now. And oh. There was another HE.
Yup... i pity those who do not know of his background, and befriend him, thinking that his intention to be friends are truely noble, when in fact, he's just using em as he doesn't really have any. Those who do know him, will probably shun him. Well, i do. And i'm not alone on this. Anyway...during one of our cheers that we managed to come out with, he was being all so "hyped up" and "cutesy". A real eye-sore.
By night time, i was contemplating to either demand for a change in group or to leave. Well... after the games, i guess i couldn't, for the grps had more or less bonded together, and for me to leave and join another grp is considered an act of betrayal to me. SO of course i stuck on, and yes, thank you my BANANAs... who stuck by me...haha... at least you'll understand what i mean.
Night time... Kai came!!!
Haha...kuku bird man coz of his hair...ah well... then it was Angel, my stupong's (stupid + sotong = STUPONG!) birthday...sorry gal... i was abit bo chup coz i was to pissed with some ppl to realise it was really your birthday. Yeah...so there was the singing of Birthday songs and usual cake smashing and what not. Went up to join em later... met to 3 new members of my grp...its a God send. Why? Well... i was so down that i prayed...and asked God to send me someone, or some ppl who can help to revive the grp...and viola! All 3 of em... Chrisitians!
Jon and Tom who're cousins as well as Caleb!
They were all friends so they came together. Tom was in program com so of course i knew him...and jon, like his cousin tom was equally funny. Caleb (sorry if i spelled ur name wrong dude), haha... bugger... SUPER noisy can. But i love him. Lol...
So began the night, with a new day ahead, and brighter prospects of team bonding.
=)
We played some card games and then headed off to rest at ard 4am...
Woke up... showered...yeah man...HOT water!!!
=)
Another plus to my morning...then it was morning PT...some PPL did not wanna stand with their grps...who? A certain HE, who was a "dragon boater", came VERY late with his mates...and chose to stand aside...and when we had this "Caterpillar" thingy game, HE just sat there on the track. Bugger.
Well...tried to act close to me and the 3 guys... shoo man... go away. WHICH he had to...haha...dragon boat training...and when HE went, my mood lifted!
Of course...now i've gotta thank the 3 guys, and yes... my 2 bananas. Oh yeah...breakfast... we din really have hot water... and warm water was non existant coz by the time it came out, it was luke-warm. Hmmm... the 4 of us guys went to take the milo packets, add some cold water from the water coolers and drank it straight. MARVELOUS!
Its so darn sweet and WOOSH... shiok man... couldn't stop...then i started reducing the amt of water till just enuff to make it like a paste...later on...added the milo powder to bread...freaking nice... in total... abt 6 pkts of milo?
AH well...pretty nonsense stuff...hmmm... some talk then it was field cooking... yeah...near the rock wall. Here my lighters and knife came to good use... yup... but was pretty dismayed at the lack of initiative of certain ppl... what i saw all ard were ppl staring at the food and the equipment and not doing anything...not even to help... and in the end... they ate and ate and ate... and din help to clean up... like how sandy put it in chinese... "chi bao le pai pai pi ku jiu zuo", which means after they're done eating, they'll wipe the dirt of their bum and leave. That means that they don't bother abt helping to clear up in short...
After tat it was slack time!!!
Then...some games... yeah... we won!!!
Really felt proud of my group at last... why? Coz we co-operated with each other... and helped to win the game... true...some had a long way to go in terms of communication... but i'm sure that we did well...wanted to debrief them in a way...but well... guess some things are better left unsaid... good job team...
Later on... TEA! Gosh... good food... yam ice-cream, fruit cake (not the one with raisins and all mind you, but the creamy one with fruits on TOP!), danish biscuits ( the ones in the dark blue metal tin?) and syrup drinks. Hmmm... this is the 1st camp that i've gone to with such luxuries...lol...
Well... to evaluate the camp...for their 1st time, especially Yee Ping and Glenda, Job well done gals... =)
I know its not easy... trust me, i'm sure you're not the only one who's been through this though our experiences differ. Well... Of course there are things that can be improved on...but not worth mentioning here...for your ears and eyes alone only.
Anyway... i really hope that the upcoming batch of sub coms will be as fervent and efficient as the last.
=)
Ended with the customary CPF gathering...and...sent her home.
For 1/2 of the time, was thinking abt the guys who'd mess ard with you...well... what can i say. You don't belong to me.
TPSU OEI!!!
