Cssc and Camp Ohana!

Today's entry will be a long one, starting from Monday...

The Clementi student service centre at Clementi was set up to allow people to play counterstrike and dota surf the internet, and the computers there are sponsored by Singapore poly. It is being run by students of SP as well as SPSU. The choir was supposed to send two people there to help out at the centre today, and both Alvin and I agreed to do so. It was quite boring, because there was only a few people there. Spent my time playing with my laptop and listening to music, so time passed by very quickly. After our job was done and the centre was closed, we went to clementi for dinner.




The damn place where i stonned for 4 hours...


Alvin decided to stay with joannah in school, so I went home alone. I kept on tossing and turning in bed, because I was too excited about the camp tomorrow. I tried many methods to make myself sleep, but I just could not sleep. I gave up hope trying to sleep, and stayed up till Tuesday morning. My jie called me around 5am in the morning and I talked to her till round 7.15am, because my whole family started to wake up. I managed to fall asleep at around 7.45, and at 8am, Maureen gave me my morning call. She was like damn shocked because my voice was so awake.

I continued with my packing after Maureen called. I was half awake, because I didn't really sleep well the previous night (in fact I slept for about 15 mins only). I reached school at around 10.20am, because I left my house late and I missed the bus.
Most of the group leaders (GL) are already there, and we had some briefing, before going down to pick the juniors up. To get things started, we introduced ourselves first, before playing some polar bear and where is my 50 cent coin game. Next, the juniors were grouped into the four families: Influenza, Um arh orh, Razors and Bullshit. My family is called influenza, inspired by the bird flu essay. I am the father, and joy joy is the mother in the family. Our sons and daughters are Edwin, Edgal, Melissa and Ai Jia. We came out with our cheer next, and it goes like this:

H5N1 come come come.
Come already die die die.
H5 come, N1 come,
Vow to wipe out everyone.

We designed our flag/banner and then picked our characters for the skit, which we had to present on Thursday night. We got Hitler, Bubbles, Pikachu, Jack, Cyclops and Donald duck.

Had our dinner next, and a few hours of free time, before the night activities. I fell asleep during the free time, but i did not manage to sleep long. When i woke up, I saw Maureen and Joy looking at me and giggling, having no idea of what happened. They ran off before i could ask them what is wrong. At 9pm, We assembled at level one of T15(the block where we stayed in) for the battle royal and night walk. Battle royal required us to find some light sticks hidden all over the place, and we had some help from Joy and Maureen, who were the devils(Didn't know that devils were helpful). We ran all over the place and at the end of the game, all of us were sweating like mad. Next, we had the night walk. It was around CLS, a place where I am very familiar with, so I wasn't that scared. Instead, I scared the hell out of Joyce and teddy, trying to make them scream as much as possible, as that was the game's objective. I got more and more bored so I started to scare Joy, Maureen and Melissa.

The night walk ended at around 3am. We took our bath and supper, before calling it a night at around 5 am. The air condition was damn power. The whole room was so damn hot and in the morning at about 7am, the room became freezing cold. Got woken up at around 7am by the cold, and drifted in and out of dreamland until around 9am, the time I officially woke up.

It was a clear Wednesday morning, and the program for the day was the food hunt. We had our breakfast cum lunch at 11am, before setting off to various places to eat. It was during this game that i sensed that things are starting to go wrong between Alvin and Matthew, and the between the people in my group. Anyway, we went to china town, Funan the IT mall, Raffles place, Dhoby ghaut, orchard and Holland V in search of different types of food. My sons and I ate most of the food, while the girls just stoned there, because my wife, their mother, joy was not there with us.

Here are the pictures of the food we ate...




Rice Ball,




Longan and Almond Jelly,




Tako Ball,




Ice Kachang,




and Grilled Fish.


After visiting Holland V, we made our way back to school for dinner. After dinner, we played dai dee, and got all our flags stolen. All of us raped Kenneth to get our flags back, and continued with the dai dee session. Joy mummy came back, and we discussed about our skit and did Edmund’s birthday card, while watching Hard Gay on you tube. I would like to say sorry to Joy here, because i did not take care of our group and i was fooling around during the discussion.

We went for another night walk, after Edmund's birthday rape. This time round, I led in front and brought the whole group up to the childcare centre, and then to the balcony at T1A. We sat in a circle there, and started telling ghost stories, to scare the crap out of ourselves. Towards the end, we heard some funny noises coming out of the air. It was so spooky, so we decided to evacuate. Edmund then led us to the Red bridge, followed by the basketball court behind FC 5, to see stars? Lol.




The only picture i took during the night walk at SB. Lol.


The night walk ended here, and we went to shower, before sleeping. I went down with jason for a chat, and it lasted all the way till 5am again. My day ended here, and the next day started at around 7am the next day.

We were woken up at around 7, and prepared to set off for Sentosa for the day's activities. Today, the GLs need not run with their children. All we have to do is to stone at one place. During the ride to Sentosa, the two couples are like having clod war, while Joy and Liza were hopping and dancing around. At sentosa, Joy and I stayed at Burger King and stared at the merlion for 2 damn hours when we can actually walk around the island, because of some miscommunication.




Nice view. Lol.


Somebody called and told us that lunch was being served at palawan beach, so we decided to go there. When we reached there, Maureen and carol were not there. Instead, they were at the other end of the island, Siloso beach. Poor Joy and I. Had to walk all the way there. After meeting Maureen and Carol, we walked back to palawan beach to take the train back to BK to meet our kids. Edmund told us to meet at palawan beach after meeting our kids, and changed the plan after we boarded the bus. It made us so damn paiseh la, because the entry tickets were not with us and we had problems going back. We waited for all of them at the departure center, and headed back to SP.

Buffet dinner was served at SP, and some seniors came down for the camp. We did some final preparations for the skit, and then had the performance. Was not in a very good mood after the whole thing, because i felt that i am like a middle person in between two groups of people. Went to walk walk and talk talk with Joy and Maureen, before they went for the night walk. Maureen was tired and not feeling well, so she when back to the room, while Joy accompanied me. We joined them in the night walk, but after awhile, Joy was tired, so i sent her back. The journey back was so scary. Only the two of us were there, and it was very dark, raining heavily, and both lightning and thunder can be seen and heard. Joy was like so afraid, making me feel scared as well.

After the whole group came back, I went to bath with the guys and then went down to chat. Slept at around 6.40 am and woke up at 9 plus in the morning on Friday. It was the last day of the camp, and prizes were given out. We got the cutest family award, and both Edwin and Melissa got the best grandchildren award. A four day three night camp came to an end, and we took some photos, to remember Camp Ohana.




We are Family!


Hoping that there will be more camps like this in future......
