Choir Camp 2006

Day One

The Sec 4s went into camp together at around 9 plus at night. When we got there, the juniors were already halfway through Les Choristes and we caught the ending of it. After that it was already lights out for them so we decided to go to the atrium and we played Twister by ourselves. We challenged each other and did eliminations, and Ya Kai was the winner for the guys, and Yanni was the winner for the girls, but we still didn't get to determine who was the Ultimate Twister Champion. Here's some snaps of how it looked like at the Girls' Challenge. As usual, it wasn't very sightly!

Ya Kai as Spinner

Girls' Challenge

Yanni and Hidayah

Tsui San

She kept saying she was put in too many weird Kama Sutra positions

Then we grew hungry, so it was finally time to order pizza. It came quickly and we made many hungry people around us drool! Nyahahaha. See, thats the privilege you get as a senior!

Hawaiian and Barbeque Pizzas

The girls

After pizza it was time for the Guys' Challenge, which Ya Kai won!

Ya Kai had to stand on his head!

Not easy!

It was between him and I

But I literally rolled out of the competition!

Then the girls played again. And this time Spinner was Shing Chun, who tried his very best to put all of them in super compromising positions.

Yet another round of Kama Sutra!

See what I mean!

Watch Tsui San stretch!

Jia Yu and Hidayah

After that we were all too tired out to continue playing Twister, so we didn't really get to see who was the Ultimate Twister Champion! What a shame man.. but then we adjourned to the Surfin-in Room, our 'bedroom' for the next 2 nights for card games! Played Cheat/Bluff (whatever you call it) and also dai di, which I won quite a few rounds in!

Yan Ping and Jia Yu

I didn't sleep the entire first night! We continued to play cards till 5 in the morning. But here are some shots of sleepy juniors who were knocked out in the surfin-in room.

Day 2

That very morning Hidayah and I went for a little walk around the place and groups were already up as early as 5am to begin their last minute Talentime Preparations. Listening in to most of the groups, I really felt that many were not bad as compared to the previous Talentimes I've participated in myself.

Right after that they had PT. I think I saw something like The aim is to toughen up the juniors or something in the schedules. Nyahahah. Whatever it is, we didn't have to do it!

Indecisive people settling breakfast place

So the 9 of us Sec 4s went outa school for our breakfast. We went across to the prata place and settled down. And it started to pour like shit. Hidayah tried to take orders from the prata waiter guy but he didn't really understand. She didn't really understand too, so she had to repeat our orders to him again slowwwwly.

Then finally he got it right. And I told them all this prata joke I heard from my friend: You don't say egg prata, you gotta say yegg prata instead!

It was damn funny, and we all cracked up. And they all started to worry that we wouldn't get outa the prata place in one piece 'cos we'd all be beaten up by the yegg prata man. Shing Chun was being so funny, putting y in front of every e word! I know we were kinda mean and making fun of the accent, but it was all just for laughs!

So the kosong pratas and the yegg pratas finally arrived and we ate ate ate. Shing and I decided to take things one step further by asking the prata waiter to SAY 'yegg'. So we asked him what the prata being served was (although it obviously looked like yegg prata) And guess what? We heard him say the golden words! From the horse's mouth! He said yegg prata! And all of us chortled away in between gulps of teh tarik and morsels of yegg prata. nyahahahYEGGhahahahha.

The rain got heavier and we couldn't go back to school 'cos we didn't wanna get drenched. So we decided to wait it out at the prata shop. I don't really know what everyone else was doing, but I dozed off. It was so comfortable in the prata shop. With the wind and everything. In between my sleep I heard Yan Ping talking 'bout her shit or something. Swear I wasn't dreaming.

So then we went back to school after the rained subsided, and it was so freaking cold we were shivering outside. We joined in their Rotational Games and did some sabo-ing with water bombs.

She asked for it.

After the rotational games it was Talentime preps. The Sec 4s got together for the last time to rehearse and we were kinda satisfied with our progress. Soon Talentime started and the groups were all really hilarious and creative, but I don't wanna post up the pics here lah.. too many! I really enjoyed myself and there were really great songs being sung that night. Ding Sheng and Bryan were really fabulous hosts for the Talentime! They made us laugh like mad! Great job to all!

Then it was the Sec 4s performance. I must say it didn't come off as well as we expected it to be, but looking back at our performance video, I think it wasn't as bad as I thought. I was really damn pessimistic that night, and somewhat demoralised. And I kept asking the gang like how was it and all. Constantly worrying 'bout it. But I've come to realise that its really nothing much and it doesn't matter anymore and its over and all. So don't fret and look forward to more good stuff!

Talentime ended and the best groups were announced. After that it was time for the Night Activities. Hidayah and I followed the Banana Split group around and got to see them play half the stations. They were not bad, and Hidayah and I were having some fun. Halfway through, we decided to give up 'cos we ended up sitting on the atrium sofa. Guess what man? We fell asleep there, and what was supposed to be a 15 minute nap for me became a full 3 hours!

I finally woke up and went to the atrium with Hidayah. It was then that I realised that I had missed so much Captain's Ball! Argh! But nevermind, I got to play quite a few rounds. We played Bass versus Tenors. We won one and we lost one, but we never got to play the third round! Haha.. Ended up going to washup and another round of sleep at 5 plus in the morning.

Day Three

The third day wasn't anything much. We got to wake up later, around 9am, and then we saw their Prize Presentation. They announced and rewarded the best group and the most enthusiastic campers and stuff. Its good to see the support that the juniors have for each other.

And after that it was lunch time at KFC. I hung around there till like 4pm? Some of us were playing cards, playing murderer, sleeping like logs... Just hanging out together lah.

This camp was really enjoyable for me, 'cos I didn't exactly have to go and sweat it out. I took a backseat and watched the juniors work hard, and have fun together. I made them jealous 'cos we ordered pizza and macs delivery and had yegg prata for breakfast. And we got to play card games and Twister and sing songs together.

I will really miss this kinda camp!
