Thursday, June 10, 2010
okayy, i finally have time to blog about the awesome ELITES Camp ♥
DAY 1
met everyone at 6.30pm on friday. hmm lets see, we reached the dome, we had to find our named envelopes. inside each envelope there was a puzzle piece. we had to find our own grp by combining the puzzle pieces. end up my group lack of 3 pple, cos the 3 of them didn't came :/ so there was me, Carlyn, Carolyn, Nicholas, Alfred, Karjing and one more guy i completely forgot his name. SORRY.
so then we were given a letter and we have to solve it to find out our next destination. run here run there, we the last team to get to the 1st point which is at BLK S level 1 -.- played Cross the Lava. we're were given 3 tables and all of us have to stand on it and move without anyone touching the floor. ouh and did i mention 5 of us need to be blindfolded ?! lols, totally dependant on Nic who was in front of me to guide me across. so after that we have to make our immunity idol. we make finish our flag but then they say its supposed to be a torch so we faster2 add on whatever we can. lols. not bad uh but freakingg huge to carry around :/
so we were given another piece of quiz to find our next destination. lucky not the last one. it was at BLK N. this time, we have to be blindfolded. and then Carlyn was chosen to be the one shouting at the rest of us to line up. the purpose was to get the water from a bucket and go to another bucket and pour it in. end up everyone didnt fill the bucket to the brim and we decided a new strategy. creating one line and just keep passing water. 1st we have 5 small cups with holes, next we were given 2 more plastic cups, and then we pere given one small pail XD i think the excos also impatient to wait for us to finish. of course kena scolding, so everybody did push-ups :/
                                   Gary told us we only have 30 mins to shower and eat supper. like wth not enuff time lo. especially for girls. cos there's another group of campers using the bathroom before us. totally not enuff time until we decided to share. haha very uncomfortable i can say. end up also late. sneaked into the room to take my forgotten contact lens case. went to sleep at the dome, lols by groups XD i was super scared of falling off the stairs and if someone rolled down on me XD
i didnt get much sleep cos at 2.30 am in the morning we were told to wake up and fins our shoes which the excos have taken and placed it on the "stage" of the dome. freaking blur lo without my specs. Carlyn had to be my eyes XD thanks girl :) so went to the stadium there. lined up with me unable to see anything bcos of my forgotten specs. excos count count count one missing, Pinky. then they told us to go back sleep. like wth ?! in the end i keep waking up hour after hour cos i wanna wake up early. lols. asked Al to set up his alarm clock. in the end woke up at 6 . Al said he tried wake me up but he dno if i awake or not XD
DAY 2
so washed up, change for morning physical training. it was a beautiful day for exercise so i didnt complain XD did some stretching then girls and guys splitted up. we were supposed to do 5 rounds of running in the stadium, 30 push-ups, 30 crutches and 30 jumping jacks. oh so tiring but at least i feel healthy :) girls finished first so we cheered for the guys. cos theres more guys and its hard to be organised and do together.
one cool moment? when i saw F do his push-ups, oh my WOW :) hotness much ? hehehe XD
    we were sent to SAforum to fins a clue to our next destination. took like 1 hour ?! and 45 mins to figure the next point. yes, we suck at riddles :/ finally know where our next point is, at the carpark near hockey place there. lols.
TASK : we need to form a line and transfer flour from one bucket to another bucket that has marbles. we were suppose to cover the marbles with flour. then we have to get the marbles without using our hands or feet. so we need to use our mouth. the taste of flour is freakingg disgustin! i swallowed some and i almost puked it out. gross ! and im cover in flour -.-
 next stop is at block S. TASK : to get these bananas at some height using our mouth. must chew all the bananas and spit it out in 2 MILO Mcd cups filled with some beans. the thought that i need to spit it out is super disgusting, the fact that we need to dip our hands in the mushy stuff to get the red beans is worse. and let me tell u the bananas ARE NOT FRESH. some were rotten. ergh. glad that was over :/    next we went to the dome. TASK : need to build 2 pyramids with paper cups. 3D form. and fill it with water that will flow downwards. FAIL XD cos we no time, not enuff manpower and the the structure is like super unstable. so jumping jacks! :/
then we went to blk N. TASK : need to fins 20 marbles. couldnt fins all cos we lack of manpower. again -.- how can the 6 of us fins 20 marbles and another team with 10 members fins the same amount? not fair ? so we forfeited and had to count the number of "e"s in some science bulletin. lame.. end up count wrongly, had to do 88 jumping jacks. the last number we guessed. tired! then havent finish, still need to tie 6 shirts and make it as a jumping rope. all of us has to run across without stopping. tried like 2 times. easy.
headed down to the stadium again. then to the hockey pitch. there, we played the Bucket game. lols not exactly what its called but we used a bucket XD so all of us has to fill the bucket and come back and balance it with our feet only. lols. at first it was easy but then they told us to lift it up to a certain height, it gets tough. but we made it thru. even when they decided to pour soup/detergent all over our feet. and splash soapy water on our legs. yes, my pants + underwear were freaking wet and uncomfortable because of them. we didnt give up and in the end we were the only few groups who managed to stay on until idk when. and yes, we have the least amount of pple there. yay us! :)         washed up, then begins the terror. Gary gave us a "simple task". do 60 sets of jumping jacks but do not count the numbers that has 3 in it or multiples of 3. so yes, "simple". we restarted a whole lot of times cos some shouted the wrong number, some couldn't follow up. in the end, we decided to cut it into 3 parts. count to 1-20, 21-40 and 41-61 since we cant say 60. we made it. after 1 and 1/2 hour. truthfully, i felt like giving up. i was gonna cry myself becos i was so tired ans frustrated that we couldnt get it right. i was upset, but i didn't back down. for the first time in my life, i felt as if i did accomplished sth, even tho doing jumping jacks is nth compared to the stuff i faced in real life. but it was the best feeling i ever had, and i did cry silently after that, crying for joy :')
1st match : create a human line, and pass a pail of water from the bucket from the front of the line to the back. the last person will throw it into another bucket behind and crawl underneath all our open legs. lols. super uncomfortable! cos im all sticky XD and my already scraped kneecaps are hurting even more when i crawl :(  3rd match : need use only 1 finger to balance a pole and race to the finish line. it may sound easy but oh boy we re do it for at least 3 times. keep going all the way up siahh idk why XD
night time = night walk. duh! blind folded, waited for our turn. my turn came. someone i think its a guy took my finger and sorta guide me somewhere. i think its outside the dome. excos made lots of scary noises which really pisses me off idk why. lols. someone even pulled my hair! and made me walk somewhere. grrrr, it hurts! and i can tell they're laughing -.- then someone hold my hand and we sat down. i whispered who was the person who i was holding hands with and turns out it was Hani :) talked a bit and we got seperated. what i know is i was supposed to be crawling on some branches/leaves some ground luh but i cnt cos my kneecaps were seriously injured.
then followed some strings that guided me to some trees, then thru hula hoops. then i had put my hand thru some box and grab sth. lols. i thot it was sth alive so im like a bit scared to reach in XD but i know what it was. lols. then thats when i started getting nauseous. right after i had to sit on the trolley thing and someone push it. i felt dizzy as if i was gonna puke. i think its because i've never really been blindfolded and walk up and down and up and down and thru sth and it was a cold night, i dont have long pants on and i think my sinus came back. yes, i was a mess but i kept going.
then at this point i was supposed to fall back 90 degrees. immediately i knew what im suppose to do just like in NPCC camp. but i failed. both there and now. cos i just couldnt do it. i was panicking and of course i couldnt relax, due to my sick condition and the thot of falling to my "doom" blindfolded! so i sorta fall by sitting down in the end. it was hilarious at that point but i could laugh cos of the stupid sickness. yes i was gonna throw up but i couldnt.
almost done, i was made to shake hands with 2 other blindfolded pple, one told me he/she loves me the other i say to him/her. idk how to differentiate and i didnt care cos i needed to sit down and relax. finished alrdy, sat leaning on a wall i kinda feel even more sick. and was taken to one side to lie down. i recognise julyha, javier, gary and dee's voices and they kinda talked to me. i couldnt take not seeing anymore cos my cntacts are getting drier. ive had them for more then 16 hrs i think and its getting irritated.
so i ask if i cn take it off and they allowed me. my sinus has already catch up on me, i kept sneezing cos its super cold and im wet. wet + cold night + a little windy = bad sinus for syaf. lols. so i told them i gtg anyway and i was gonna wait for my parents to pick me up. i lied there and kind dozed off ? like for 45 mins i think. woke up was shocked that the time past so fast and i still havent taken out my contacts!! asked excos if i cn take my stuff out of the room, terrence helped me. lols. my batt damn flat left 4 % so i borrowed Gary's phone.
saw some of them who finished the night walk sleeping too. everybody was tired! and too bad i cnt joined them for sunday. it would have been a blast. everybody went off upstairs while i waited for my family. yc accompanied me all the way. lols THANKS! had a nice chat with him even tho we're both half asleep XD went to the ladies, and came back, yc sleeping alrdy XD and finally! my parents came. lols yc helped me get my stuff into the car. and off i go home. didnt even get to say byebye to my Balboa :( so in the end, it was all great fun. even tho i should have been there on sunday with my peeps, i had a lot of happy moments. yes i have a few blue blacks, but this camp will forever be etched in my mind. i ♥ ELITES Camp :))
p.s yes, i SPAMMED this post with pictures! ♥♥

*SENTIMENTALSYAF*
okayy, so then we proceeded to BLK P. TASK : dig thru this pile of garbage, yes literally stinking garbage for 80 straws. i have sensitive nose so this kind of smell usually makes me wanna puke. so i have to cover my nose the whole time while searching. didnt complete, we found like 65 ++ only :/ jumping jacks again. lols.
