**********1st Night***************
Hmmm.....first night...well nothing much except for ice breaking games..sort of like a telematch...we had various stations...i shall try to talk about as much as I can remember ^^ Geez...we played..Human...Fooseball...thankfully we were just given boundaries to move around in and not tied to each other...or else you would probably see tonnes of people falling...on the hard floor...ouch....We lost haha. Our team lost. Sadded but oh well at least we had lots of fun and we played with integrity ^^ that's the most important.
Ahh yes remember how our parents always go: Don't play with fire?" Well....we were doing the exact opposite. It was a game called Tower Defense. Each team would have one tower (a chair basically) and one person would have to stand on it. 3 strings are tied around the chair's legs and each player has to carry one candle...one LIT candle...and burn the strings of the opponent's towers. To defend, we had to blow out the opponent's candles XD Cute huh...a hole was being poked through a piece of paper for the candle to be placed so that the wax could drip into it. Our dear opponent cheated and he perpectually lit up the paper too...OLYMPIC TORCH! How the hell do we blow that out we wondered...thankfully the judge saw it and she said it's against the rules. Cause by the size of tt flame, blowing wouldn't be enough. We probably would have had to spit on it (eew, gross)
Ever heard of the game "老鹰抓小鸡"? (Eng translation: Eagle catch chick) We played that...it's like for every row...the head is the eagle n the tail is the chick...middle people have no roles...apparently the heads muz try to catch the tails of the opposing teams...of course...some teams got seperated...n worst...some were blindly walking behind the person they were supposed to catch or run away from...man it was funny
Of course...what would camp be without water games. We played dog and bone with a twist. In the middle there was a cup in a bucket of water and an umbrella. The team which gets the cup filled with water has to splash it onto the referee's leg while the team which did NOT get the cup has to get the umbrella to defend. Of course, no team could hold two items at one shot. There were some pretty amusing moments. Two people were called out from each team. Our opponents...one grabbed the umbrella and one grabbed the cup, so it was like...our team people were staring blankly at the opponent. They didn't realise until the girl stared at the guy who stopped trying to splash the water cause he realised it was his own teammate. And another team wrapped the referee's legs with the umbrella...so of course no water could get through. It was hilarious!
We played a strange game called fishing. We each had a LONG string with one end attached to a bamboo pole n the other attached to a hook. Apparently we were supposed to hook up as many 'fishes' (plastic bags) as possible. Half of the team did the fishing and the other half did the guiding...we were supposed to swap after a certain period. Man...we had 48...which was only 2 away from beating the high score of 49...sadded.....oh we fished from the second floor and the items were on the first floor.
that was the end of the first night...the second day...was when all the fun came in...

***********2nd Day***************
Now THAT was one HECTIC day! All the activities were crammed in there WAHAHAHAHAHA! We had game activities first before our kayaking(which sadly got cancelled due to poor weather conditions) The games were REALLY amusing and crazy and fun!! Hmmm...let me see...
Oh yes we had absailing (someone misheard it as excelling n poor me was trying to figure out wad kind of a game is tt...) Basically it was just running down a wall...that part wasn't scary. It was standing on the paraphet and looking down which was scary...i was smart. I didn't look down. However, the instructors were pretty much a sadistic bunch. I could tell that some of them were pretty nervous...yet the instructors were going: Any last words? Anyone wants to write a will? Any last letters to write?" I was thinking....wad the hell...Overall though, the experience was pretty fun. Luckily i stopped in time or else my butt wud haf hit the floor...ouch. I was the first girl in my group to go...pretty brave huh? Well.. i kinda' half-shouted at the instructors to quit it with the 'last will/letter' stuff..hehehehe XD
CAPTAINS BALL!!!!!! Wah kau...this game arh...play captains ball with fruits de...dun use ball...finito. We used an orange, a cabbage and two bananas...gross. The cabbage shrunk, the bananas became soft-er, the orange...well...after playing with it, tossing it around in the hot sun with people's sweaty palms...after awhile you'd find that there's juice coming out from the orange as it flies around. AHH yes after the whole game, my senior decided to juz randomly throw it somewhere...his aim was apparently mega accurate cause it hit someone's head ... the poor guy had had to wash his hair immediately after that...gross...oh and a friend of mine? she apparently had a banana smacked into her leg...which kinda' left mushy bits all over...she squealed...unlucky me was next to her and my ear drums almost burst!!! Hau..but i really pitied the guy who had orange juice in his hair.... *grimace*
Another game ... we had to transport a certain amount of water from the first to the last person. Each of us had a cup in our hands. Now it sounds easy...but the catch is we had to pour the water backwards...which means we face the front and poured the water into the cup that's held by the person behind us...we spilled lots of water...it was really wet. The seniors weren't making things better though...they enjoyed whacking us with balloons as well as blowing a whistle in our ears to distract us. It worked like a charm...though the whistle trick did not work on me because I was mega used to my mum screaming loudly all of a sudden. We finally got sufficient water across...by the time we were done, our arms were aching...hahahah...
oh we oso had to stomp on numbers in order...everyone was given a number and we had to stomp on the number that was inside the circle...randomly arranged numbers...i stared at the middle number n was thinking...the middle person muz haf long legs.........haha but held the record of being able to stomp 20 numbers consecutively in 9 seconds XD
Ever tried skipping with two people holding each end of the skipping rope? sounds easy rit? now try doing it with 20 people in the middle....that's wad we had to do....20 ppl all jumping at the same time...10 times consecutively. Of course the first time we jumped we got entangled...n so did the 2nd time...n the 3rd...n the 4th....man i lost count of how many times it took before we could actually jump once....by the time we did ONE we were uber joyful. Until the seniors said: very good! One down, Nine to go! i was tempted to strangle him with the rope (the rope was actually a bunch of rubber bands tied together)
Ahh yes...the next game....soap water was poured onto a piece of canvas sheet...and we had to do 10 star jumps on it...goodness...we had to be synchronized and EVERYONE has to do it...otherwise we had to redo...luckily we didn't hafta' redo it...after that we slid across the canvas sheet since it was slippery with the soap water. Some people used their knees to slide, some slid on their front, some slid on their butt....no one slid on their faces...duh....

Bottom Left: Help, i'm tangled up!!
***************3rd Day********************
Our last day at camp.....kinda' sad but oh well it was just the beginning of our journey in Primers. We had our usual breakfast...followed by some appreciation session. Each of us were given a chance to pick somebody from the group to show our appreciation to. Well...there were two of us (me being one of them) who decided to appreciate the ENTIRE group WAHAHAHAHA.
Oh yes...after that it was a photo taking session! It was with ALL the students who attended the camp. First years, second years and third years alike ^^ it was a bit tough looking up at the camera cause the sun was shining almost directly into our eyes. Most of us DID squint XD
After that, it was the tradition of Primers to do something we all know verrrry well....TAUPOK!!!!!!!! Mixed version. No one actually cared whether you were a guy or girl...they juz poured themselves against you. The committee had the worst of it though...they had to sit right in the middle of it all...imagine that. We repeated the process about a couple of times before i nearly fell down and luckily someone grabbed me before i ACTUALLY fell down. Haha
Well...POC was a really enjoyable time...from then we boarded the bus and then left for home...XD (oh we had a little bit of lunchie first before going off)
Ciaos people! That is all ^^
