FOC 2006 (part 2)

lol. i predict there'll be a part 3 later on cos there's too many stuff to talk about. hee hee

oh yah i wasn't done with the sentosa day 2 part. haha. anyway we were so afraid of other groups that we even went to the toilet that was rather far away so that we won't meet any members from other groups. =x we had a short break then it was time for the game ludge (i think its spelled like that) and the skyride =) yiipppeee that was really really unforgettable cos first we went up the skyride and we had to spot letters on the hill and piece them tog to form a phrase. i was so scared that my slippers are gonna fall off hee hee. oh and charissa and reina were good skyride partners hahaha. then we went down the hill using go-cart-like cars and that was the thrilling part XD i even crashed to the side because i went too fast but thank goodness it was a relatively harmless ride. hee hee hee

actually i forgot what happens after the ludge ride thingy but i think we all packed our stuff and went back to ntu to bathe and settle down in our dorm rooms. =) my roomies were rachael and joanne! to say the truth i was quite sian at first cos i don't really know my roomies but then they turned out to be really nice and friendly and we all had late nights talks and stuff =)

day 3 was the day that i long awaited for because i'm looking forward to the shi zi lu kou and amazing race game hahaha.. woke up quite early at about 7am but i had a good sleep the night before so its ok. =) we all had nice bee hoon for breakfast and started the amazing race thingy =) yay!

we had to go around boon lay to find the stations and then complete the tasks given and buy the correct food for the station masters in order to proceed on. thus our first station was to wear t-shirts with letters printed on the back of them and form a 15-letter word. hahaa. it was rather confusing at first but soon we figured out its actually rumpelstiltskin. -_-"' then we had to buy sugar cane juice with lemon =)

our next station (based on my memory lol) was the spelling station i think. we had to find the letters we want and step on them while shouting out the letter. that was really fun cos in the midst of it me and some other girls played "when i say" with some seniors hahaha. oh the very first word they want us to spell is mississippi! that i really wanna thank sonia for enlightening me that time during class gathering at her house because she and her bros just went "mis - sis - sippi" and i remembered it and got it correct!!!! sonia i love you!!!! XD

we had to spell other words like unnesessary, diarrhoea, minnesota and lots of words where people always tend to spell it wrongly. hahaa.

: )

anyway moving on we had to play games like the very famous untangle thingie where you have to grab people's hands and try to untangle and form back a circle, treasure word hunt and one drinking session. the drinking session was fun because we had to drink a cup of unknown stuff and tell the station masters what does it contain. lol. there are 7 drinks to choose from, like grape juice, apple juice, blueberry juice, herbal tea, water chestnut, coke and rootbeer. heh.

oh yah, then we all went to kfc for dinner and that's when the whole incident starts. you see, we were supposed to go back to school for dinner because they already packed for us, but at that point of time, we thought our ogls wanted us to be a bit more "pai kia" and rebellious because of previous incidents so they persuaded us to skip dinner at school and eat out so that those back at school will be angry with us for going back late. =x

never did we realise that its actually all a ploy for the big game, human cluedo 2006 later.

sigh. it would have really been fun and lots of stuff wouldn't happened but because we were all so sure that everyone's against us and we were so badly beaten emotionally that when they reveal that its all just an act to fit the human cluedo thing because our ogl is supposed to be loggerheads with the camp organising com and thus they "fought" when we came back damn late and their acting skills were so good that our whole group felt really really really bad for coming back late and no one had the mood to talk at all. seriously we felt freaking lousy and i don't think i've been this demoralised before. =( everything just doesn't work out no matter how much we all try to make it better.

then the cluedo thing is that because of the fight someone got "killed" and we are supposed to find out who is the killer and act out the scenes.

that was when we knew that we got tricked big time and that was when we felt really cheated because we tried so hard to protect everyone esp our ogl jing li cos he looked really depressed and we knew that he confronted the other ogls before this incident happened. so when we knew that its all fake, we really couldn't take it anymore and wondered what did we do to deserve all the mocks and teasing and bullying by other groups.

so to make the long story short because its really very dramatic, we did a human cluedo back at them and walked out of the LT while we were in the midst of our play. yes i do mean literally walk out and leaving everyone stunned. many people tried to stop us but somehow i think they sensed that we were really disappointed and when we tried to explain things we all cried big time.

but i really think there's no other way for us to solve this problem other than letting our true feelings show and to show others how deeply hurt we all were. seriously i don't plan to cry at all but tears just fell for everyone.

i really didn't plan for all these to happen at camp because its just too un-real. charissa even got to the point where she had fits because she cried too much. emotions were flying everywhere and no one is stable enough to think coherently. even our seniors jennifer and angelina cried. sigh.

i don't think its solely anyone's fault but rather the way events turn out that end things up like this. if we all were not so concerned about how other groups treat us we won't be so emotional. and perhaps we really went too far but on the other hand if the seniors had known how much shit we went through they would put a stop to this and explain things to us before it got too far.

you know the night before i was telling rach that if cs people are all so competitive and likes to gang up and backstab others like what other groups did, i really think i made the wrong choice in coming here. =x

anyway a few of us who felt really guilty causing so much trouble went back to the LT where everyone's waiting to explain it all to them. we were shocked to receive cheers and applause once we stepped into the LT but we were really touched and grateful to them for showing their support. =) thank you so much everyone! yep, so we cleared some stuff up and ended the speech with the famous "what is cs without drama" tagline. hahahaa. how true...

well. in the end everyone cleared things up with our ogls and seniors and i guess in a way this incident made our group bond even more tightly than ever and i doubt anyone of us will ever forget this. =/ we all learnt lessons and grew a lil more =) now i'm really glad i made lots of friends to start the year with and now i don't regret coming to cs anymore =)

but i really wanna thank all the seniors jennifer, xx, kerri, jing li, marcus and angelina for being patient with us freshies and i can see that you all really tried to understand our feelings and gave us time to sort ourselves out and giving us lots and lots of food to fill our stomachs. =) i'm gonna stick to charissa's idea and plan surprises for u all when school reopens!



(digress)

chrystal if you are reading this i bet you will be confused because we don't really want this whole incident to be told to everyone as it is rather complicated. haha. if you have any questions feel free to ask me though. =) and hope you had fun in this camp too!!
