Harow! Came back from camp on Sunday so this might be a lengthy post. Let's start from the very beginning of camp. On Friday, went to school at about 720 p.m. and helped a little in arranging the people and stuff. I kawad in low-heel shoes and Yew Keong (YK) had to say, infront of the whole line that there are no 'tiny little high heeled slippers' allowed. And Waihang gave me that look. That 'u-know-it's-u-and-so-do-I' look or kinda 'hehe-naughty-naughty' look. It was a really cute look. Loved the way he did that to me. He did it with a smile so it wasn't meant to be stern. So anyway, my squad was quite ok. Siew Li, Nathalie, Bryan and Kuai Yan were in my squad. That night we played treasure hunt and my group adviser, Ti Keat, kept on disappearing but I brought my phone eventhough I wasn't supposed to so whenever I needed help, I called. My phonebill is going to be sky high this month. So anyway, Waihang came and helped us quite a lot of times. =) He was really nice and sweet. That night, I couldn't sleep at all. I slept right under the fan in the classroom on top of the table and I was so cold at 3-something that I curled up into a little ball to get my windbreaker on top of every part of me. There were mosquitoes all over the place flying past me, on me, to me, and everything. Really, really, really annoying. I didn't bring insect repellent becasue I was 'travelling' light. (Didin't bring toothpaste, shampoo, soap, bathing towel or anything of thats ort either) So I slept for about 15-30 minutes before waking up for night duty at 3.50 a.m. I went downstairs and saw W. He was so nice, he said that we didn't really have to keep watch if we didn't want to and that we could sleep but I said it was OK. Which was true for two reasons. 1- I couldn't sleep anyway. 2- I thought he would go to sleep if I was on watch and at least he would get some rest. He continued to keep watch with us and I found out that he hadn't slept the whole night. I asked him to get some rest but he didn't want to so fine. Hani and I were on a picnic when we were on night watch, Hani brought lots of snacks so I asked for Chipsmore and she ate nachos. (I get gastric pain if I stay up during the night without eating) By about 5 a.m. most of the guys were already awake but I went to the girls' dorm and asked them to go back to sleep as they had a long day ahead of them. I was lucky that the girls were obedient so they did try to go back to sleep. Doubt that they really did get any sleep though. Between 4-6 a.m. Mei Anne and YK were downstairs playing Matrix. Very amusing for us. MA was very flexible and she bent backwards like in the Matrix. Really cool although we could all see it was the side effects of sleep-deprivation. Poh Guan tried to take pictures but it was too dark. So by 6 a.m. everyone was awake, the girls and guys. Some of the guys even took baths while the girls couldn't have cared less. That was one of the things that surprised me most. We were scheduled to kawad at 6.30 but we started earlier than that. YK decided that aerobics would have been more fun than kawad and he was extremely right. Aerobics was fun! We danced and jumped and laughed. But Huei Huei had to take away our fun and made us kawad because she said our kawad-ing was too horrible. So while the recruits kawad, the SLs were tought how to command and were given a fairly long lecture on us being the future leaders so we must learn it well or else it would be very embarrassing for us in the future so we must learn it early. Guess which grandfather gave us that lecture? W. Yep, he's our commander-in-cheif in the making. (Trust me, Dato' Dr. Low is one of the most cheong hei people in the world) After kawad, we had CPR training by the DJ sir. He was boring and everyone was sleepy. I found the discipline during this course extremely bad and if I was in charge, they would've gotten a long long long lecture. Lecturing is one of the things I try my very best not to do.(Don't want to be the future LBT) So after that, we had photo session and I had to wear my official uniform. After that some more, we had to cook our own lunch. We were to cook using fire wood! It was my first time ever doing that and I was really looking forward to enjoying myself but I didn't enjoy myself. Not because I was under the hot sun in my full uniform standing by and inhaling al that cancer causing smoke but because W had hurt himself and was taken to the clinic. When I was taking my uncooked food from the committee room, W came in and went "I need help, help. Oi! Help me lar!" I turned around and saw his whole finger covered in blood. I do not know what happened to him, I just followed the rest of the SJs out to the drain to wash his wound and I saw his cut. Kena parang. It was quite deep, could see the flesh and lots of blood. We washed it with Acriflavine so now my fingers are stained yellow. The cut was so bad, he had to tie a triangular bandage round his wrist. (Indirect pressure) He also tied a triangular bandage round his fingers to stop the bleeding or probably to absorb the blood. He was then taken to the clinic by teacher. I was so worried after that, I barely talked, I was so 'fan' My feelings were so stirred that I had no mood to do anything because I was worrying about him. I think my squad members could feel it because Kuai Yan offered to take more water for the rice eventhough I already said I would do it and Siew Li was quiet. Really quiet, she didn't talk to me at all and that was really unusual. I was a little curt to her when she asked me if I wanted somthing (forgot what) and I went "no thank you" Really fast and sharp. She was a little taken aback and I am feeling a little guilty. But not that long later, W came back and I was feeling a little better. Not perfectly better though because I was still worried. He kept on insisting on being the macho guy and helped a lot in our cooking. When I asked him if he was alright he said "I'm fine, don't worry about me" That was rather rude of him as all I was doing was showing a little concern but I guess he was busy and in pain so he must've been irritable. I asked him that twice in seperate occasions and I got the same curt answer. It hurt me a little because not that long before, we were happily chatting and laughing. I was letting my imaginations run free and you can very well guess what I was imagining. So after cooking, we had lots of spare time because we cooked really fast. We of course had to clean up and that was quite a lot of work but I barely did anything other than wash one side of my messtin. Nathalie washed the other side. I guess my squad was still a little afraid of me and my behaviour so they cleaned up a lot. I'm really glad they did. I was still so worried about W and still am to be honest. After that, the pipe got clogged and all the SLs got s****ed (that is the last time I'm using that) by YK. He was really really really angry at us. Again, W tried to be mr. Macho and offered to help YK in unclogging the pipe but YK said "You don't be stupid lar you, your finger pain you toe pain, how to do?" So thankfully, W didn't do anything too strenous to help. We had first aid simulation after that and W was testing us on transportation. He carried this guy with only one hand. That idiot is going to fall sick. He's not taking care of himself properly. So anyway, he said he was dissapointed that we didn't know our transportation and got another lecture. Thankfully, it was a short one. For dinner, we had rice, cabbage, sausages and chicken. It was quite nice. All the squads sat in one big circle and ate together. W walked one round around the circle and then said "Oi! No place for committees wan ar?" So I moved to aside to let him sit but he sat next to a bunch of 'little bots' instead. We had Malam Kebudayaan not that long after, my squad teamed t up with hani's and danced TESTIFY TO LOVE!!!! *sob sob*. That night, we had night walk joined with the MRCS. It is sort of a dance where you have to have a partner and you change partners throughout the dance. When W walked by, I purposely went "I got no partner!" and he looked at me and replied "You! I dun wan to partner you." It was sort of a joking manner but I'm scared that it might have been how he really felt. So anyway, after one round, I had a partner and someone else didn't. So we danced and danced a few more rounds and guess who I ended up with? W. I went "Haha, either way still have to partner me lar" and he gave sort of a joking sigh, so we danced eventhough he had an injured finger and an injured toe. He held my hand! I was so high when he did. I was smiling to myself so it's a good thing it was dark and my back was facing him. If I was looking at him, I probably would have kissed him! Haha, just kidding. So after that, we played some really lame game with candles. Later, we went to sleep and I had a wonderful one. YK and W even cancelled committee meeting that night because I was sleeping in the middle of the badminton court. (The place in between block E and F I think.) Next morning, I woke up at 550 a.m. and found out that we were allowed to sleep till later but I didn't go back to sleep. We had kawad 'competition' and I lost horribly. After breakfast, I left to go to church to see Jason. There, he scolded me for being late. And I told him that I just came from camp and came actually finishes at one and I had to ask to leave early just to come here so he apologised and gave me the thumbs up sign saying that I was a good girl to go CC. After church, I went back to camp supposedly to help them clean up but I really just wanted to go for lunch with them. I had to call Jeremy Cheah to ask him whether he wanted us to give back the stoves and stuff so I talked to him! ( I do not like him, I just think he was cute before he cut his hair) He has a really nice voice, really low and deep. Nicer than Ken's. Haha. We went to Pizza Hut at around 230 p.m. and ordered too much so we had to "ta pau" I think Wai Yip (Cane) took home the extras because he was the older one and was supposed to have more money although I doubt that was true. Well, so that concludes my camp! My first camp that I was actually on the committee. I was just on the phone with Yi Theng and she told me that she told W that my best squad member was Siew Li and his reaction was: He banged the table and said "oh My God!" in front of his whole class and Mr. Ho (teacher) and the whole class turned to look at him. Haha... It's a pity I missed that. I really wanted to see his reaction to it. Oh well, hopefully, there will be other times.
I will be going home soon so Bye! What I really can't understand about this post is that I put in four guys inside whom I think I like. If you exclude Jeremy then it's just 3. Smile, W and Jason. This is stupid, I cannot do this. I am being somewhat 'disloyal' to them eventhough I'm not coupled with them. It's a feeling that is there. I'll be seeing W this Friday so hopefully I would've gotten things sorted out by then. Pray girl, pray... With love and best regards, Acriflavine. By the way, if you don't get the weird abbreiviations that I have in this post, ask.
