annual camp ended in a flash. went to sch saturday morning dreading the leadership conference we were gg to at gbhq. sure enough, the course some of us chose [leading a grp/squad] was totally BORING. the speaker just droned on and on and on and on. mingli and hoiki were so bored they started drawing the speaker- very horribly. the best time during the conf. was still praise&worship and interaction time. finally at 3 sth the whole course ended and we were dismissed! 5th coy then returned to sch for annual camp.
nth much happened on the first day.. did tent pitching, realised tt some tents couldnt be used, so comm members had to sleep in the clsrooms. felt very dejected initially, then came to realise the blessing in disguise..! had balloon sculpting in the night which was rather fun. were not allowed to do sentry duty tt night cos mslim was afraid we had fall asleep during church the next day. 2nd day of camp was the most tiring. lights out was supposed to be at 2300 but aft the long workshop, it was announced tt we were going to have drill till 2315 instead. reason?? gospel camp was playing games and they were afraid we wld not be able to fall asleep. HMM. thing was, we couldnt even hear them. so we were broken up into diff contingents for gbbb enrolment service and we practised the marching in and all. lights out was only at 0100 and then someof us had reseilience trail breifing, followed by camp debreif for comm members. then mslim said tt comm members were allowed to sleep in the parade grd cos we had sentry duty tt day. finally at 2, aft bathing and all, we snuggled under our sleeping bags and were just going to fall fully asleep when hoiki bounded above us and whispered shrilly that we had to go back to sleep in the clsrooms cos the haze was really bad. was really irritated cos i was looking forward to sleeping in the parade grd AND esp. sentry duty. what more, most of us were alreay slipping into dreamland. [i was actually dreaming of sth then] reluctantly we packed our stuff and returned upstairs to 4g. waited for the key so long that we laid our slping bags outside the clsroom and nearly laid down to sleep. by then, the haze was getting really bad and the air was very very smokey. it smelt as if a thousand pple were all smoking at once. we finally got into the clsroom and got down to sleep.
sighh. this camp was actually supposed to be an outdoor camp, but it didnt seem much like one. cos doesnt an outdoor camp actually mean doing more outdoor stuff? sure we did outdoor cooking ONCE and some of us slept in tents, but it all ends there. but nvm, i'm sure we all learnt sth. HAVE A MORE OUTDOOR OUTDDOOR CAMP NEXT TIME! too bad, we wont be in phs anymore by then but we can still plan a camp SO fun, the girls go crazy. my conclusion is that: OBS was still the BEST BEST BEST EVER outdoor camp i've been to! came home today at abt 1 sth. ate alittle and slpet all the way to 7! 40th anniversary was ok. table B10 wasnt former staff afterall. it was alumni students and some hpt members.
having chi oral prelim tmr!! am very very scared.
God bless

all the preparation for 40th ann. and gb annual camp has made the first few days of the week so hectic. i'm definitely not studying enough and this can't go on! everyday i reach home, i'm too tired and lethargic to do ANYTHING except read some magazines and laze ard, telling myself tt i wld wake up earlier the next morning [if i could that is] to complete some stuff. but i ALWAYS end up sleeping an hour more. ahh! i'm so lazy!!
anw, tmr's phs' 40th anniversary! i'm SOO excited! this is my first time being a.. a WAITRESS! good thing i'm serving the 'former staff table', table b10. all the best to jas and pat, who fortunately [i mean, UNfortunately] got to serve the 'staff table'. anw.. i'm so nervous! what if i dont rise to the occasion?? what if i spill the drink on one of the guests?? what if i dont clear the table in time?? what if i trip and fall?? what if i feel intimidated?? WTVR. if it happens, it happens. i just think i'm gona ache with urge to watch gb/bb's pd performance! THEY ARE JUST SIMPLY BREATH TAKING! watching them perform makes some of us feel like doing pd again! for enrolment service, for the LAST LAST time.. [i hope it wont be tho']
