woah!! Now i am at my school com lab... haha~ why?? Because our group had to do survey for all yr3 students. So, here i am at the level 3 com lab writing my blog for i have nothing better to do.. Gina is sitting beside me, surfing the net.. while reading her sms. Dunno why but some how i find her a little upset today.. maybe the words i had said? i really dunno.. but i hope this wouldn't last long. If Gina u are reading this... SORRY!! i dunno what have i done wrong.. just forgive and forget okie?? Friends forever~

My last weekend was a great one. i had to attend a camp at ITE Bishan. It was really enjoyable. Even though i was down with fever and sore throat. My camp mates are really caring.. even though we dun know each other, they came up to me to ask me how am i .. i was very touched. Ok.. ok.. let me start from the beginning....

6PM- I arrived at ITE Bishan and it was raining heavily. There were not many that arrived. I went up to a familiar face-Azmy .. We chit chat and find out each other actually did our attachment at AH.. haha... It was aroung 7pm when almost all campmates arrived. We had a flag raising ceremony and Gan- our expedition leader was there to explain why we had that. Then we lingered around to know the rest of the people. I found them very warm and friendly.. immediately a few of us click together. We had to cook our own dinner.. here's the receipt-
Fair price noodles (curry, chicken and seafood) all mix together
Cans of sardines
Cans of baked beans

It was so funny... we even have to ration our water supply to make it more realistic that we are india. haha.. I totally left out the utensila and cup and plate.. So lucky me, there is this girl called jeanniea that acually brought disposable plates and utensils. I manage to clear a sardine can touse as cup.. (hehe.. clever me~) we then had our food and settle down to our next activity. Which is drawing.. haha going back to our kindergarden days.. we had drawing block and caryons.. the theme- what make us join nursing.. haha.. what a joke.. i never thought of being a nurse. i was in a dilemma. dunno what to do.. so i just scribble and doddle the whole paper with colours. We then had to present our drawing to the rest.. and explain our drawing.. it was nice to know that there are so many people who love nursing.. and they are realising our dreams... (when is mine??) anyway, we didn't finish the sharing session.. cos everyone was getting bored . so we had Games. I wasn't involved, but we tried to help those in the game to solve. We give command and finally after many tries, they manage to complete the game. we also had night duty.. and i was the first to do.. lucky me.. cos i was put at the 2-3am slot and i guess someone nice change with me.. So me and matdu did the duty while chatting .. getting to know each other... soon.. i was in bed.. ZZzzZzzzz

The next morning 5am.. I was waken from my sweet dreams .. We get to do some games and jog in the morning before breakfast.. Breakfast was bread with sardine/jam and Milo.. plus butter crackers too.. Not too bad.. anyway, i dun really take breakfast. After that we took a MRT to city Hall.. from there we need to travel by foot to ECP-east coast park~ OMG!! I was thinking are u serious.. but of cos i did the walk la.. hehe.. So we walk n walk n walk.. we sang songs and make fun at people.. it was really fun.. and we had our first activity at kallang there. It was our first obstacle. We need to climb over a wall.. either by the steps or the artificial rock wall.. after much consideration.. we decided that it is better to be save then to take the risk and get hurt.. so we took the steps. actually it wasn't easy to. Many was afraid of heighs .. so it was still a challenge to many. The whole lot manage to climb over.. and we start to head for our final destination. We walk for a few more hours, and we reached old airport road - dakota crescent to have our lunch and to continue the sharing session with our drawing. We had justea and nasi lemak for lunch it was really tasty.. especially the chilli.. and the pandan green rice. After that we played a game call the 'sumo game'. I pick Azizah to be my partner. haha... It was so exciting. she won ..Sobs :P Next we continue our journey.. when nearly reaching ECP. We played another game called find the tree.. we need to blindfold to find the tree as a group. Wanni volunteered to be the leader. We tried a few times b34 deciding which route to take.. finally, Wanni took myy and azizah's suggestion and we make did! We found the tree.. Hurray!! We walk n walk n walk after that to reach ECP to search for the red house. We manage to get there by 4plus 5.. Then we head down to bedok MRT to go back to bishan.. We took our bath and hurried to eat our dinner. Same reciept like the day b4.. except with additional of campbell soup and mushrooms..

Well well.. here am i writing my blog again.. after so much time waste due to the dance musical and my illness.. Okie let's not waste time. Basically.. after the dinner , we start to find songs to present for the elderly at Dover Park Hospice. We took quite a long time to decide three songs- You are my sunshine, Barney song and Never had a dream come true. We then rehearse and had a little feedback session.. Everyone was pouring out their woes and sharing their concern to the rest of us.. which i think is very truthful and direct. even though it was only two days i feel that everyone already treat each other as friends. So, the feedback session was an eye opener to me.. that everyone is so concern about each other. After much it was already going to 12am. It was time to ZzzzZzz...

The next morning , we woke up at 5am and start our morning exercise. After that we had our breakfast and bath. Around 8.45am, we set out to take MRT to Novena. It was quite a walk to Dover PArk Hospice. The place there was beautiful and realxing.. gave me a nice and comfortable feeling. We were then brief on the rules of the place.. and brought up to the patient to sing for them.. In fact, i was very touched and actually tears welled-up in my eyes which i try very hard not to let it flow.. It was that moment that i feel that these people really need the company and care... After that, we went back to ITE bishan.. clear our rooms and toilets. We had our lunch and then it was nearly time to go home. But.. we need a debrief.. so we settle down and talk about the whole camp and also the next coming event. Basically, clearing all our doubts about the trip like the money, lagagge, food etc. Around 3pm , it was time to say good bye.. the organiser actually prepare gifts for us, which is a photo frame and a stalk of rose... i love it.. now the photo is sitting in front of my com.. reminding me the nice people there... really looking forward to the trip... ;)
