"GEMS,GIVE ME A WHOOSAY!GIVE ME A WHOOSAA!GIVE ME AN OOLALA!"

Today marks the last day of Camp At GMSS.Camp lasted for 3 days starting from 5th of January to 7th of January.It was totally awesomeee.

The Coaches:Jomin,Rachael and Nicholas.Currently finding Nicholas on Facebook but somehow I can't find him.Hmph.I managed to find the rest.They are like super awesomeee.They are like better than OBS's Kiah Hong but of course Ruth and Aaron more awesomeee.What am I talking about.Everyones' awesomeee right?!

Day 1

Woke up at 5.55AM.Got dressed and everything.Went down to wait for Jacelyn to come fetch me.Arrived....assembled....sang the National Anthem....say the pledge....hear the teachers brief us about each levels' camps and did some prayers.We then went to Wesley Hall to meet out coaches,briefing,etc.After this,we went downstairs to do ice-breakers which was like horrible.Gabriel made fun of us saying the girls are stupid and lousy.Not true at all!Anyways,after we finished the ice-breakers,we went to the indoor sports hall to play the noodle stick game.(Can't remember what it's called)and then talked about how it benefited us.All the games have meanings behind them so we must always know and understand the meanings and apply them to our everyday life.

Lunch!!!!We had chicken,rice and veggie!(Continued)After lunch,we went to change into our shorts and shirts and played games???I can't remember,it was a 3 days ago thing.But anyways,we played games and did some talking and etc.One of the games was having 5 people to walk togethter while communicating but the upper secondary student upstairs were like staring at us which made it embarrassing and one of them had a phone which I think was hopefully not in video mode.Since my class and some other classes are called MAJOR BRILLIANT (Major B) while the others are called MAJOR AWESOME (Major A).So MAJOR AWESOME got the privillage to bathe first while MAJOR B went to eat.Then we swopped and clearly and obviously,girls can't bathe as fast as boys.The coaches stepped in and banged on the door asking the girls to bathe faster.Casa said that we can actually wrap our selfs in towels and change the toilet cubicles so it would save everyone time which that was what I did because what we have,they have so why not sacrifice some bathing time for others.After bathing,we went back to the classroom to put our bathing stuff down and waited till the coaches fetched us.We went back to the hall for a game and listen to the briefings for the next day and what is expected out of us.

Sleep Time!!!!When it comes to sleeping in the same room with the same sez,everyones knows that we can't stop talking but clearly i wanted to sleep but some of the girls kept talking and from talking and whispering,it became into laughther and shushing.I was sleeping directly underneath the fan so it was so cold that i had to wear my checkered button down and zipped the sleeping bag.Yes,there are complains.The floor is hard and cold,the crickets kept making so much noise and the MRT trains kept zooming by so obviously,I can't sleep.

Day 2

But when it was morning,my friend kicked me so hard that I woke up after sleeping ever so soundly.But yeah,I woke up and changed into fresh new clothes and freshen up.Went back to the classroom and heard the so-caller siren so some of us went outside including me but the coaches and trainers asked us to go back inside and wait for our coaches to come.We were so tired,especially me.My eyes were like closing and always looking at the floor.When it came to breakfast which was fried beehoon and I wasted it.I wasn't hungry and I felt like crying when I tell someone that I am sick.And I did tell Jomin I couldn't finish because I was sick too.Breakfast was over so there were games again and prayers for the food and etc.The 3 major events that took place was the Touch and Go game,Post-It challenge (If that's what you call it) and the campfire performance.

So back to after breakfast,we were in the classroom playing Touch and Go where half of the class stay outside to use story cards to form a story without showing each other the card (Everyone has one each) while the other half would stay in the classroom putting their hands on the wall so if anyone moves in the classroom,the people outside has to restart the game with different cards each.I was like to sick to play the game so I asked Ms Quek if I could sit out and I started crying because it was so pain...Gah.

So I sat on the chair and stare at the others who are happily getting ready to play.Nicholas came by and asked if I wanted some hot water and I said okay so he went to get the water while Ms Quek talked to me and ask if I wanted to go home or anything.Even Mui Hwee asked if I wanted to go home but I didn't want to miss the campfire so I said that if the pain gets worse,I'll go home home when my mum comes to school for the campfire.Jomin asked if I wanted to stay at the girls bunk,I shooked my head.She asked if I wanted to go home,I said I can't because no on ecan fetch me since mum and dad arre bust and Elizabeth's at school so I just stayed there.She offered to give me a warm towel but nah,I don't use it and she said that if I needed anything,I could ask her.Nicholas returned with his Nike bottle filled with hot/warm water and passed it to me.I drank and felt like 10 times way better than before.He came back again and said that if I was feeling much better,I could go outside to help then he streched out his hand and gestured:"I mean like if still "pain" right than it's okay.I just nod.

Jomin took away the girls' water bottles and they asked if I can pass them back their bottles so I did that while Jomin was looking away and she came back saying:"Wah,so fast ah?" Min Qi was like:"She pass to us one."I just gave a broken smile. :/ When the people outside swopped places with those inside,Yen Shuen asked if I was okay.I don't like her because she stares at me like I am some kind of weird person.She stares at Mui Hwee too but she talked to me and I replied with a soft:"Yeah." I went to the washroom for fun and when I came back,Hwee Shan was sitting on my seat and I am like okays,nevermind,goes back out and find Mui Hwee and Min Qi walking upstairs.They asked if I was feeling better and the answer is yeah but it's just a little bit pain.It's kinda an on-off thing.

After the game,and after I came back and capped back Nicholas's bottle and handed it over when we went to the hall.I asked if he wanted me to throw away the water inside because it's mine but he said it's alright so I passed it back only to know that when I sat down and he was in front,he drank the water.I think he mistook and forgotten that I drank that but from differnt bottle areas.He drank from the nozzle (Whatever you call it) and I drank from the rim of the bottle.

Not the point,back to subject.We had to come up with a performance for the campfire and then it started drizzling and soon when we were downstairs for lunch,it was raining heavily.Still,we did our makan cheers and prayed for the food and we ate.I didn't eat.I was really not hungry.I just want to sleep,again.Nicholas asked if I wanted anything,I said no....Lunch was over and we are in the indoor sports hall to breif for the 2nd game which was the Post-It challenge.At this point of time,I was feeling much better.So I did the Post-It challenge that required us to go to different places to find clues that leads to another place in school.The last one was so difficult.We had to do jumping jacks and push ups to get clues to know the answer.Gabriel did a good job on helping us with tat but we don't know how to explain how we got the answers especially for the last LETTER so we had to do some stuff to earn a clue.Some of the 4 places that we had to travel to required us to do some torturing stuffs like success claps which was 95 sets,push ups,jumping jack and boppies?I don't know what you call the last one.After the last place,we went back to the indoor sports hall and got 2nd place.After I can't remember who told us what positions we are,we split back into our classes and discussed what we want to do for the campfire performance.I won't say the front part of the performance was retarded but I would say it sounds annoying to the ears.And the girls act so bitchy and bossy (>_<) Hmph,one of them actually ditched her best friend for a new friend.Like,what the shyt!What kind of friend is that?I still keep in touch with Yiying wut.Ridiculous.Just suck up to teachers man.Anyways,we learned the annoying song and then went upstairs to bathe at 5.10PM and got changed into our camp shirts and TNS SHORTS!!!!Ahhh,TNS!

Yep,so after dressing,we had dinner.Again,I didn't eat.Nicholas asked if I wanted biscuits.Answer:*Shakes head.He asks again after one of the coaches finished talking."Ummm,I want hot water." He took my bottle and went off.Suddenly,I became hyper-active because the pain was gone again.So I told my friends that I felt bad for asking to get hot water. (>_<) Nicholas came back with my empty bottle which actually had water and Jomin passed me the hot water in a styrofoam cup and I said thank you.Dinner was spagetthi and jelly.It smelled great but I really didn't want to eat so I ended up going back to the hall and listen to some briefings and also went downstairs to get the benches because from the heavy rain,it became drizzles but we went downstairs to see if the weather is okay.

Went to the toilet.The gross thing is that the girls main door for the toilet couln't close fully and because of that,Nicholas or I don't know,some guy coach was like:"Eh,close the door." And Tan Qing went to close it.Im like who's that?Haha.Toilet break over,so we went back down and the drizzles came a little heavier so we went upstairs o the hall instead for the campfire but with no fire.*Sigh,my one chance to see a real campfire is dashed (>_<)

But we did have some fun even though Mui Hwee begged me to not go home,I kept telling her it was still pain so after the performance and everything (Last class to perform was my class),we sat down or in other words I sat down and the pain came back and it was really really pain and worse than before that I was pulling my hair while Mui Hwee asked if I was okay.We were granted permission to see our parents so I went out to mum and put my arm around her and said that my stomach hurt and tears start rolling down my cheeks.Yes,it was embarrassing because people were staring and probably wondering why is this girl crying.But I ended up going home.Rachael brought us mum and I to the class room to take back my bags and stuff and forgot to take my camp booklet (>_<) But I asked mum to send me back to school the next morning because I had to give them the letter which at that time,wasn't written.So we waited for a cab which took like a million years to come and ended up dialling for one.But the usual route home was like jammed so we took the Mountbatten route.I told mum that I didn't eat anything fo rlunch and dinner and hardly touched my breakfast.She got shocked.What's so shocking about it?BY the time I came home,it was already over 9.45PM.

I dumped my bag on the floor and took a towel and bathe.I wanted to get this over and done with.Mum made milo and gave me awesomeee biscuits.After eating,I wrote the LETTER to the coaches which I always do for almost every camp.*Sleeps.

Day 3

Took 2 buses to GMSS and went back to the hall where all the Sec 1s were.Nicholas was like:"Oh,you're back *Smiles." Me:"Yeah." Nicholas:"Feeling much better?" Me:"Yeah *Nods head." So I dropped my stuff at the side of the hall and went to sit with my class.We heard a story which was kinda funny but it doesn't make sense but we learned stuff.Story ended.Teachings.We had to write letters to people for their help and we have to appreciate them etc.I wrote to Mui Hwee.

Graduation Ceremony.We were grauduating from camp which was cool.They gave us water bottles and the scarf which was tied around our wrists by our teachers and presented the bottled by the coach-Nicholas,and after receiving this 2 things,we had to say:"I AM AWESOME!" I was one of the last few to receive the 2 things and ended up saying:"YOU GUYS ARE AWESOMEEE!" Nicholas shouted back with my back facing him but I heard:"YOU ARE AWESOME TOO!" Haha,I know it's true.Everyones awesome mann!

Now that camp is over,I am starting to miss it and the coaches and not my friends.I dread it.I hope to trasnfer or go to America to study.Singapore's education system is horrible but I hope to fit in!

Camp made me a stronger person so thanks you!

Now,dinner.SEAFOOD!!!Yum!SQUID!!!!HERE I COME!!!Byeeee
