camp is the virus that i don't want to minus

camp is too short! but to think again, if it'd be a few more days longer, the fun and essence of camp will be lost.

and yes. camp was fun lar. it was THE BOMB. and now i'm camp lagging once again. no mood to do anything else except for sleeping or watching kabhi khushi kabhie gham and start dancing to the pumped up indian tunes.

lemme blog about camp. and shun bian enjoy myself thinking about it. long entry, here i come!

first day: the d'marquee was COLD~ practically freezing in it. but it was grand! we had grooming+makeup 1st. quite boring and the lighting was lousy. kx has super long eyelashes so when she curled them and applied mascara, her lashes would flutter and hit her glasses. lashes too long liao. then carmen's eyes were stunning coz ling put on dark eyeshadow and eyeliner for her. everyone just looked different lar. it was amusing to see joy and rachlee sitting together, both wearing hairbands on their funky hair. hahaha! :D

yup. after lunch was team building games! yay i was in soccer with shuang sinyu rachlee joy xinyun and limeng. and we played with that puny and light little ball so it was very hard to kick it around. just a simple touch and it would fly to dunnowhere. haha i scored the 1st goal! (: if i'm not wrong we won 3, drew 1 and lost 2 games. lost one coz of penalty (and none of us even touched the ball with our arms) and lost the other coz of own goal lar!

oh and something unpleasant happened that made me hopping mad. during our last game, after joy scored a goal, the opponent's goalkeeper just slammed the ball hard unto the ground with one hand. bad sportsmanship!! and the teacher i/c didn't even see. she ought to be sent off. bleagh. after our games we went to cheer for the vball ppl. dunno who's idea was it then we started singing our class song. then huiyi they all started laughing and dropping the ball so we decided to stop singing in the end. haha. in the end, they won 5 and drew 1 game! so pro! (:

yah then it was check-in time. our room was connected to stelly's room! yay. luckily it wasn't some teacher's room. or worse, some stranger's room. at night, we had indian buffet for dinner and rachsim ate with her fingers for the 1st time! *claps* rachlee wouldn't even touch anything green in her food, let alone that slimey gross greenish thingy they gave. and yup i sat in between both rachels. hahaha. oh and we spotted a 'janet's place' in downtown east!! haha took a photo of nainai in front of it.

whoa. INDIAN DANCE! the atmosphere was just so great la. practically everyone was dancing. haha whenever shah rukh khan appeared on the big screen there were cheers from everyone. hot! we were either trying to follow the dance moves in the movie clippings or inventing our own moves. and yar it was a great deal of fun. after debrief we had a class-hug!! (: it's a good thing our class is small.

after that everybody went back to their rooms. and the poor choreographers of our indian dance had to do last minute choreographing in stelly's room. they had to choreograph thrice coz our latin dance wasn't allowed and our 2nd dance wasn't going to work. at first we wanted to do the 1st dance but not compete in the competition but in the end we decided to compete using indian dance. and as joy said, "414 specialises in last minute things" how i agree! in the middle of the night, ting sleeptalked to esme and esme would sleepreply back! so creepy but funny.

second day: hmmm. more practicing for folk dance during the in-betweens. station games at the beach. the games were quite fun too. i finally overcome my fear of bursting balloons and sat on 3 balloons! yay. i especially loved the mini softball station. though we weren't as loud as 410 (who were cheering "4-10 4-10!!" all the way), we managed to find a strategic position for our whole class to stand, which was to huddle around the area so as to block all those flying balls. and we tried to do funny things with the basket like tilting it towards the batter! haha. and the pace was really fast lar.

after lunch was deportment workshop. learnt to sit and walk properly. everyone had to walk on stage with their heels. unfortunately, rachlee and i were asked to demonstrate how to sit properly onstage. ahhh maluating! the speaker was elegant but terribly obscene! huiyi gave a super loud gasp when you-know-what. yeah. and some people were pissing the entire room of people off with their insults. very rude and ungracious! totally. someone from the corner of the ballroom was saying loudly, "aiyah just get off lah". the speaker and her team were nice people okay!

then it was preparation for the formal dinner. the choreographers had to do the dance again as we were running out of time. haha i think i was the last to shower among my roomies coz my hair was short. and i was helping ting to find a way to keep her gown from sliding down!! thanks peiying (who came over to look for ting) and rachsim for helping me with my makeup. basically it was all very rushed. but everyone looked really good and different. and wanyi!! shuang said she wanted to keep staring at her. lol. and rachlee was really pretty in her dress. ahhhh. she should be stop being so tomboy and wear that more often lor. so we were like complimenting one another.

the dinner was quite okay. took lots of photos and had lots of fun! couldn't finish the food though. four of us sat with four of the four-thirteeners. it was good coz we get to know a variety of answers for the teachers' trivia. heheh. yar then it was the class presentation whereby everyone had to go onstage to strut their stuff! faith was taller than me (: coz she wore heels higher than mine. and i realized that we the last row people were generally quite tall. yay. too bad tallies like yunxi and siyi weren't there. haha and i bet hiutung stunned everyone with her attire --> hongzi! admire her for her bravery! then it was PROM DANCE! got very high! there were basically loads of crazy indian dancing again. everyone took off their heels except for me ting and rachsim. i was too lazy lar. so when ling pulled me to the middle of the circle to do twirlie-whirlie with huiyi, i almost died in my heels (though it wasn't that high). we took a class photo too! (:

speaking of class photo, the 2/1ers took one too!! ahhh 2/1'03! i miss 2/1 like crazy! we did our infamous 'dui mian de classes kan guo lai' cheer onstage and it was damn loud. i think we were the only ones that did a proper cheer that night. yay. 2/1 rocks. too bad helen liane and suanwoo didn't go upstage on time for phototaking. the 2/1ers all looked so gorgeous, seeing everyone changing from little sec ones to mature ladies! yup. basically prom was the highlight of the camp lar.

and it was siyi's birthday. i'm sure she'd have preferred spending her bday in prom rather than in chiangmai. after the prom, when we went back to our rooms, my roomies and i sang a bday song to her. hope she heard it in chiangmai. then shuang rachlee ting esme and i were being super retarded so we bounced to cheryl's room and sang a belated bday song for her too! that time it was like 12+ already and most of us had already changed out of our gowns. the choreographers continued choreographing in the room next door while people from almost all the rooms of our class came swarming to our room to play mahjong. so sad lar. i was in the midst of learning how to play from ling (who took over kx) when the teachers came into our rooms and shooed them away. our door wasn't locked! very scary experience.

yah lar. then there were alot of things going on. upon warning by us, the choreographers next door hid in the toilet while linying they all cooked up some cockroach story. when i was preparing to sleep liao, joy and faith came into our room to hide from the teachers. coz rachlee and sinyu were caught escaping to their rooms by the teachers and they found out that joy and faith were missing. and for some reason hiutung got locked out of her room. very luan. i don't even know what exactly was happening.

third day: after all the commotion, everyone was supposed to wake up at 4 to learn the dance, but we overslept!! woke up at like 5+.. oops. anyway i love our dance. it was an addiction even though we were super last minute. and we put up a fairly good performance for the FOLK DANCE competition. at first we wanted joy to do her chandra mutu speech (her indian accent) but in the end she didn't. though i was freezing like mad but her speech was really heart-warming and touching. she said something like the dance was for us only, and it consisted of 99% perspiration 1% inspiration. and yar we managed to pull through. *cheers* and after the whole thing we even did the dance 3 times again! for fun! told you it was an addiction.

and so the camp ended well. though 414 didn't win a single thing but i'm sure everyone had a good time. i guess all the mad dancing during this camp really bonded us together. i loved camp. really.

and i love indian dance. SAY SHAVA SHAVA.
