Orientation Camp

I'm finally bac from Orientation camp!! haha well i'll rate this camp as ok ok only la, out of 10, 10 being the best i'll give this a 6. It was in SUFES, so this would be like my third time there already, and uncle Jack remembered my name and WHEN i came to SUFES, amazing whey!

Ok, so day one, we had to pitch up our tents in the rain....yea i just got myself wet, bother. Then we had session one of No Apologies, i don't mind going through it again, it's sorta like refreshing my memory. Then we had our Night walk/jungle walk. Now those people who've been through it before you must be thinking, "ah nothing la, can finish at the most 2 hours" well my friends, this time, we used a different route where the slope down was all mud and no roots, so we practically had to slide down to get to the bottom. To top that off, we finished at 2 a.m (the early/lucky ones like me) and the latest finished at 3.30 a.m. Not Funny being in the dark jungle for almost 5 hours (we started at 11 p.m) My torchlight had to run out of battery, and a few other too. It was a seriously new and different experience, this was way tougher than the first time i did it. This is when you know how much upper body strength you have la (hanging on to tree's + tree roots for your life) yea, i almost fell tumbling down once, good thing two people caught me.

So, had 4 hours of sleep, then session 2 of no apologies. After that we had to get ready for stream trotting, this was fun, we made it to the waterfall and it was really fun!! come on, what's not fun about playing in water? haha. Then we had a short break, and then the orientation party. We started off with night games, where we went to stations, quite nice and simple games la, after that we had our skit thing,lol. Our theme was Hell's Kitchen, location :HOt springs and special characters :iron man and donkey from shreck. We hardly practiced so we just gave it our best shot, haha i tell you tristen was super good and funny, i had to try to stop myself from laughing on stage. After that was tribal court. Now this one wasn't so nice, and it's sad because it totally spoiled the mood of the whole 'orientation party' it's like where you did something wrong and they punish you. If you do this the right way, it'll be funny even for those who gets punished, but sadly it was done the wrong way and everyone was upset with the council. This was because some of the 'crimes' were totally unreasonable and the punishments were dumb and contradicting. Ended off the night with talking about our batch running for precidency for the student council.

Last day, oh did i mention i purposely try to sleep longer even after the whistle is blown? haha yes i did that every morning for this camp. But everyone else in the tent ust wakes up immediately, so i end up being the last to wake up but fastest to finish washing up. We had games....ok after getting just 9 hours of sleep in almost 48 hours, i wasn't so excited.But the teamwork in our team, team ECHO was really amazing la, good group, good group. Our team leader Aaron is funny and he really just encourages everyone to work together, do our best and give the 'Happy meal' smile. He's like super funny lah, but can go a bit verboard sometimes too. Lastly we had like prize giving ceremony! our team got the prize for best teamwork!! see!! yay!!it's nice la to win something ok....So that's all about the camp la. Yes it was Bonding camp if you think about it, and no, it does not sound gay. Pictures in Facebook if you're curious.
