Day 0
The bringing together of an OG, a group of strangers(ok I knew Siang Yuan) congregated by sports camp to form up friendships that I hope can last for a long time. We met up at Changing Appetites for Dinner. Many were late, I was as well LoL. We had a chat and I was quite surprised at the number of people going to Biz. Including me that makes 4. Haha, uber cool. Following dinner was a briefing near the esplanade. We played some ice breaking games, like goggles and eee hah. It wasn't that exciting, and one would never predict how crazy we would go over those games in camp. I'll save the description for later. We learnt some cheers. My house is like so Cheena and chinese gang style. Called Bai Lian Jiao. "Xiao Bai, Ah Lian, Lao Jiao", my og was the middle one. Unbelievable would be how i would describe the atmosphere, we were shouting cheers as though camp had already started.
Day 1
The start of Sports camp. Woo hoo, I lugged my heavy luggage as though I was going on a 2 week vacation. I didn't really pack my bags properly as I didn't have the time. Exhaustion and frustration plagued me the previous night after trying to drive home from orchard. I took the wrong turn and ended up at novena instead of CTE. Argh, should have worn my specs. Couldn't see the road signs. Arriving home at 11pm, , I packed my bags with alacrity, completing the task in 10 mins. Dumped all the clothes and stuff for camp I thought was necessary and then plonked myself in bed. We had pool games. That was pretty wet. Next up was martial arts display after dinner. haha, had to act as the pervert and let girls throw me around, break my arms and hands. Not exactly a very nice experience. Moral of the story: never be a pervert(especially when the girl knows martial arts, or can kick as high as Anabelle.) Played telegames after the display. Had to travel around campus. The activities were really happening fast and furious. We played games, with water bombs, paint brushes, candles. Played tissue volleyball as well, and they all call me the "sucker!" LOL. SP came next. Sports camp is sponsored by SDU and it seems no camp can go on without an SP session. Speed and blind dating at the same time, how kinky can it get.
Day 2
Yippee! ECP. Tried rollerblading for the first time in my life. Exasperation and exhilaration, the fear and the thrill. A great sport, at least now I can move on wheels without falling. It was a short half an hour session. Frisbee came up next, great cardio workout playing ultimate. Had a go at windsurfing and I concluded my sense of balance equals 0/10. Couldn't even manage to get myself to stand on the windsurf board without falling. Fell like 10 times. I'm quite glad with the intervals as well. Got the opportunity to learn several lame stupid games I would never have known the answer to like MRT, Fuzzy wazzy etc. Tried dragon boat, canoeing and we even had about half an hour in the cage for soccer. I was really impressed by Dragon boat and got really tempted to join, the adrenaline of racing really makes me high. However I reckon my schedule doesn't permit, not gonna give up my weekend soccer for dragon boat. Had mass dance at night. I totally sucked. Couldn't remember the steps, had psycho-motor problems - it was just totally hilarious. Our Og's representative "Anabelle and Yong Shen" were superb, they got a perfect 10 from all the judges for the dance performance segment. So proud of them.
Day 3
Sentosa. Yea! you know the beach games, the beach babes, the sun the sand and the sea. We had sock pulling, dodge ball, kiss kiss( like hei bai pei), relays and the sponge squeezing game. Had to place a sponge in between a guy and girl and bring it up to shore and squeeze the water. Had some very interesting poses for that to earn bonus points. Haha. SP Night came up next, learnt who my SP was(Eileen). Then came Mystery night, just another name for fright night. They rented this dilapidated house in Sentosa for it. Overall I'm quite impressed by the effort they put in. Had a few heart in my mouth moments. Eileen was quite brave. Haha though she screamed a few times. lol. Thankfully, I was the forth pair to go for the trip through the "haunted house". There were like 50 pairs and the rest were stuck in a room watching movies like "epic movie and 40 yr old virgin". So boring.... Finally went back to camp at 2am in the morning.
Day 4
Land games in the morning. The rain sorta brought a halt to outdoor activites. But thankfully, I had a try at Archery an exotic sport I was often intrigued with. Definitely not an easy sport to take up, takes a lot of skill and practice. Talent probably also counts. Well, I have none of the 3 so I didn't hit any bulls eye. Glad that I even managed to get the arrows on the board. The Amazing race was in my opinion the highlight of the camp. We got really high on our travels. Played eee har, R O C K Rock on trains and buses and got a lot of stares and giggles. Went around singapore for amazing race, Bottlenecks spoilt the fun a little thou. We went to clementi for rock climbing. Snowcity was madness. The guys did a cheer half naked inside the snow city chamber. It was like -6degrees celsius. Brrrr... Freezing high! haha Had duck rice for dinner at jurong east. Nostalgic memories, once upon a time, some 4 years ago, I had duck rice there. River Valley High was near Jurong east back then so It was a regular hangout. Duck rice was one of the better dishes around. Shooting the air rifle was something new though not as intimidating as the first time I had my hands on an M16. Had to make our way down to ECP for the urban challenge(Night Cycling). It was a long ride on the train. Played games and just went crazy. Nicholas pasted his face against the train door at city hall and got a few laughs and stares. LOL.

Day 5
Urban challenge! We went to 5 places. Cycled to suntec for K box. Kbox sponsored Sports camp so we went in to sing 2 songs. Then we went to the esplanade, the supreme court, ROM, and then geylang for some you tiao and dou hua. Slept in a ballroom. The whole place sorta stunk cos many didn't bath. yours truly included. Morning came, Cable sking time. That was fantabulous. Tried the kneeboard. Skimming on water at high speed is excellent. Definitely gonna try it again soon. Next up, we went cineleisure for some motorcross action. Had the best lunch for the whole week at The Steakhouse. I must compliment the food at sports camp, its actually quite good. Plus Hula sponsored mulberry bottled drinks. Tastes like ribena. I downed bottles of them every meal and every break that explains the sugar rush. Went back to sembawang(my home for a bout 2 years of my life- that was some hell), SAF yatch club for some banana boat action. Didn't get to ride though due to time constraints. Took a cab down at 6pm to queenstown swimming complex to jump the 5m platform.. Wheeeeee. Haha. Fun. Had the Pyjamas party at night. That was something really new. the place was a little overcrowded and warm. The pageant was a little boring as well. Anw, Elijah from my og won Mr Sports Camp. No surprise there. We danced a bit on stage and had fun playing some dancing game that took up about an hour plus. Went Fong Seng for supper in our PJs, a lot of the public were like looking at us with entralled skeptical glances. Played truth or truth till 6am in the morning....
Day 6
Alrighty, last day of camp, Trying desparately hard not to close my eyes and fall asleep at the slightest chance of rest. Couldn't even stand properly without thoughts of sleeping. Did mural painting, Tug of war, Pushed a big ball haha, that was dumb. I was fighting the zzzz monster half the time when it wasn't my turn to have a go at the ropes or ball. We had lunch at 4pm at Vivo Marche. The end of a frantic 6 days of sleep deprivation, Taupok and self induced highs. This post was really quite tiring to type. Its super long. I'll add more photos when i get them. Till next time. Eugene.
P.S. To satisfy all the critics who say I'm destroying their eyesight. I increased my font size.
