okok...time for the long anticipated blogpost! TBYC!!!
lemme start off by admitting something awful...hahaha that week was not a good one for me...n for that long weekend, i thought "wow...i can finally spend time w my family n recharge"...but i suddenly rmb i have camp for 3 out of the 4 days..ARGH!!! i was too lazy to go...i was afraid that it would b boring...n that i would feel like i wasted my whole weekend away...i tried to pullout of the camp..but my friend was quite pity...they, the organizers were unable to cover their costs...n every participant's entrance fee helped cover abit only...i understood how he felt, bcoz i once had this problem before, n it was not fair for the organizer...so...i gave in..."ahhh...just go la..." i thought...
that night i packd reluctantly...too lazy n couldn't b botherd to...luckily Edi also was moodless...haha made me feel not so bad that i was lazy to go camp haha!! thanks edi! next morning...i had to wake up early in the morning, rushed through breakfast n meet up w everyone for camp...
it started out okay...going to temple n playing some icebreaking games...n then we were put in our teams...i was happy w my team...mainly bcoz my best friend was in it, n both my good friends sisters, there was also another person which i knew previously...n a totally new guy which all of us did not know...as we mostly knew each other, we got through introductions really fast...n even came up w a funny cheer really quick...i didn't notice it then, but our group had some chemistry going on...somehow everyone was so "together" although some of us didn't really know each other
as our team completed our tasks really fast, we had a chance to know each other better...we played games together which further broke the ice since everyone could start laughing...we were then given a song to perform for the next night...n i hav to admit...it was a tough song...i thought "damn...there goes...our performance is gonna suck"...
anyways, we took the bus to the destination, and as we reached, we sorta tried to keep together...i kinda took pity on the new guy coz he seemed to know noone else but one friend n the rest of us in the group...we headed off to our dorms n put our bags ready for the day's activities...
that day started off w an easy singalong n continued on to a treasure hunt...i rmb one of our funny challenges was to cross a "river" without stepping our feet on it...our team immediately thought of forming a human bridge n our teammates stepped on us to get across...hahaha!! we laughed so hard at ourselves when we saw another team finding planks to cross the "river"...we made a very stupid mistake, but i think we had fun and grew closer doing something so silly together haha!!
then we headed of for a short obstacle course which was awesome bcoz everyone supported, cheered and cared for each other, making sure that all teammates were safe n well..it was the beginning of an amazing journey for our teammates
after the whole treasure hunt n a bath...our teams headed to the hall...it was kinda awkward at first as noone knew what to say to each other...we made a short discussion of our performance n were dragged out for dinner w a twist, each one of us was tied to the other haha
anyways, i cant recall what happend after, but i rmb we played games together in the hall for that night...as the next morning arrived, we prepared for another day of fun...okays..honestly speaking, i cant b bothered to continue on about all the activities we had hahaha...but i have to say that throughout the camp, i got to know all my teammates a slight bit better...made friends w some new ppl n really had fun...
at the end of the camp, i felt sad tht it had to end...n this is the first time i ever feel like this...even as i went out w my family tht night, i rmb thinking "this is so boring...i would rather b in the hall w my friends now lying down chatting or playing games together"...what we had there was human contact...not something that can be achieved through handphone or facebook...haha
i donno about the rest, but i feel that the friends i made here have a very special place in my heart...i can't hope they feel the same for me...but i hope some day we can all become good friends la haha...peace out!
