Table Tennis Camp was a blast! No doubt, I really enjoyed the camp alot, every second of it! Had loads of fun and really got to know everyone in the team. The seniors did everything they could to make sure that everything went well. And from the Night Games alone, anyone can see that they really put in alot of effort into planning the camp. Photoshopping photos for the clues, the super long letter that Magdalene read out and all the things they had to do to set the stations up which include staining of Mag's white skirt with ketchup and hanging of Yingen's AHS uniform on the bush.

Had free time on the first night. Hweeli and I spent it watching the guys seniors stick the new rubbers onto their bats. Most of the girls seniors were in the next room mugging for the tests that's going to be held some time this week I think. It's scary to see them mug so hard. I feel so lazy as compared to them. Anyway, seniors who are having tests, JIAYOU!

Then at around midnight, we went back to the table tennis room. For what? You might think we're super hardworking to train even at midnight. No, we were there to test out our new rubbers. Hahaha.

Talk on the phone until 3am. It felt good because I finally got to crap around after so long. Also poured out some of the very few unhappiness I have, about how I feel so uh, restricted in my class. It doesn't help if you have someone who's always getting on your nerves every single lesson of the day. Grr. I miss 4F'07 so much. But no one can keep living in the past, so that's why I'm always telling myself to move on, only to find myself back on the same spot again.

Friendlies on the 2nd day of camp was alright, even though I made quite alot of mistakes. But at least there was experience gained. That's why I say, even though you may have lost a match, but in fact, you have won alot of experience. Nobody actually loses in a competition.

Even though the ECP trip was cancelled at the very last minute due to the rain, we still had fun playing Captain's Ball at the basketball court. The drizzle, and the wet and slippery ground adds more fun to it. Now, that's what I call Captain's Ball. Not some $%*#@ game(no, I don't even call that a game, there's no cooperation at all, that's just plain showing-off) I played with a particular group of people a week ago and someone just kept slamming the ball out regardless of whether he could get the ball and we spent like half of the game trying to pick up the ball. I was really pissed off then, and left the game halfway. Really, if you have no intention or ability to get the ball after you hit it away from others, then don't do it in the first place because you're just wasting everyone's time and your own energy. Grr.

Oh sorry, digressed. Oh yes, before we played Captain's Ball, Zhihao kicked the volleyball up onto the sports complex's roof, then climbed up the ladder on the third floor of it and he couldn't get down. I found it really amusing. Picture a whining tall guy. Totally classic. Haha.

The so-called 'romance' movie was alright. More of a thriller. Nothing too horrifying. Lol. But it did kinda set the atmosphere for the Night Games. Ah, Night Games, got to be one of the highlights of the camp! Haha. My partner was Jaren, which was a huge relief because I think he's brave, either that or, he succeeded in not showing his fear even though he might have been scared out of his wits. Haha. Okay la, I think it's more of the former. Anyway, it does help alot if your partner is or somehow looks brave, especially if both of you are trying to navigate your way in the dark with a torch(that threatened to go out anytime) to The Scope girls' toilet. I've heard some stories about it, but I don't know why, my mind chose to not to remember them during Night Games. Selective memory. Haha.

Yeah, I think the walk to The Scope girls' toilet was the scariest, maybe because it was the first station. The stations that followed after were quite alright. After we were done with the 4th station and trying to locate where's the 5th and last one, we saw Zhihao running around in the dark alone. Whatever the hell was he doing, you ask? Trying to find other pairs to scare. Jaren, Desmond and I joined in. Actually, when 3 of us joined in, that only left us with 1 pair to scare --- Jiahao-Hweeli's pair. Muahahah. I think we waited for them at the banner-painting area for close to 15 minutes. At first, I was squatting under the staircase, then I gave up after a few minutes because it was so hot and stuffy in there, and I reckoned my legs would cramp any time soon. The guys occasionally ran out closer to the TA block to check if they were coming. Then we hid behind the building, I started laughing(at the thought of them getting scared by us and the looks that will be on their faces) when Jiahao and Hweeli were approaching the banner-painting area. I had to try to stifle my laughters. It was hell, I tell you. I choked on my own saliva and had to stop myself from coughing. Haha.

We were expecting them to go to the C.Lit block(which was the place the clue led to) from the backyard, so we could scare them from the back of the building. But they went out of the banner-painting area from the front. Apparently, they didn't know the answer to the clue was the C.Lit block. That was later confirmed when we waited at the C.Lit block for another 15 minutes or so and then decided to give up scaring them and go back, and we saw them at the fountain in front of GO. Hahaha. They thought the Chinese characters on the clue had something to do with Chinese board or something. Lol. Okay, I should stop laughing at them because I was worse, didn't even know that there was such a place called C.Lit block in the school until Jaren told me.

Anyway, we met Jiahao and Hweeli in front of GO and we 'kindly' directed them to the C.Lit block. Haha, actually we were comtemplating whether to run the long way and try to reach the C.Lit block earlier than them to scare them. In the end, we did run to the C.Lit block and managed to scare the shit out of them. Satisfying. Haha. We waited so long and ran around the school for I-don't-know-how-many rounds just for that. And boy, Night Games was an extended PE, really, and it was tiring to sprint while trying not to make any noise. My slippers weren't helping at all, so I took them off and ran bare-footed. But the guys can really run without making a single sound. Silent runners.

Funny how I was feeling kinda scared before Night Games started and soon, I was running around in the dark, looking for victims to scare. After Night Games, was jokes, games and Truth or Dare. The jokes were all aimed at Jiahao. Lol. The Um-chi-chi game taught by Zhihao was fun. Even though that was one of the icebreakers we played during O2 with the OGMs, I never got around mastering it because it was so confusing! But I finally got the hang of it after playing it with the team!

And oh, the forfeits Qi Te had to do. He had 2 forfeits. First one was pole-dancing. It was super funny!!! And Jaren did a really good demonstration of pole-dancing! The second forfeit was together with Mia, stare into each other's eyes. Haha. I think the second forfeit was much easier than the first.

Then it was Truth or Dare. I think practically everyone chose Truth. Because the Dares were only for the daring. Like, if you don't mind shouting into the Bowlers' rooms and waking them up, and risk being rained on by bowling balls or doing another bout of pole-dancing in front of everyone, then you can choose Dare. I found the Truth questions interesting because all the Truth or Dare games I've played in the past are just like 'Who do you like?' and then if the person refused to say anything or replies 'Nobody.' (even though we all know it's definitely a lie), that pretty much ends the game. So yeah, questions like 'shoot, shack, marry', 'most attractive guy/girl in the room' , 'maid, husband, son and extramarital affair(!)' are rather new to me. Haha. But Mag, what kind of a question/speculation is that!?!? Awkward, awkward. Ah, never mind, the Queen of Awkwardness survived the game. Haha.

The games went on till 4am. At first, I decided not to sleep since there's only 2 more hours till daybreak. But then cannot tahan already, so went to sleep. 2 hours also shuang. Woke up at 6.15am, and got ready.

Time really flies when you're having fun. Soon it was time to leave camp. I felt sorry for leaving camp early. I wished I could stay till they officially break camp and run Lucky Heights together as a team. If we are ever going to run Lucky Heights again for PT at trainings, I'll be the first one to join in. Now you must be thinking, 'This girl, siao ah? So enthu about running Lucky Heights'. Yeah, at the beginning of camp, when I heard we will be running Lucky Heights on 3rd day morning, I was like 'Huh...Lucky Heights. Tiring.' But on 3rd day morning, I really wished I could have stayed to run.

The camp really did alot to me. Call me crazy, but I actually hoped that the camp lasted longer than just 3 days 2 nights. A really big Thank You to all the seniors, Miss Ng, the J1s and basically everyone who, in one way or another, made this camp one of the best I ever had! I know I've been repeating this for quite a number of times now, but I really had the time of my life and really enjoyed myself alot!

Can we have another camp like this during the June holidays? Okay, I'm asking the impossible. Lol.
