It is the week after the OBSses and the ATCs. To those who went to OBS and said that 'I blew my chance away', whatever. I couldn't care any lesser. Why on earth would one go through 5 days of training? Anyway, ATC was also great. We started off as usual, with me really hesitant to go to Ubin and all, and can believer that we even got lost on the way to the campsite? Tsk. Alright-the groupings-I was in the same group with these ruddy big group of boys, Hudha and also Nazrin. But everything got changed and ended up being in the same group as Nigel -_-.
The stage where I dreaded the most- Tent Building! My campcraft skills werereally rusty after he campcraft competition, and the most advanced knot I can do is the Tent Guy Loop- not the one on the peg though. So last year we were given over two hours to hitch and build up a tent. This time it was TWENTY MINUTES! We were akk rushing like hell and places where we were supposed to tie a bowline we tied a thumb knot because it was simply easier. As usual, we finished up late and we got pumping for that. What the heck. I was really pissed off and the CIs were really pushing us to the limit. My tolerance for the CIs notwithstanding, was at the boiling point. And so the next few activities I cant remember a sigle bloody thing until the sing-along session. Until then everything was Milo, Horlicks, Milo, Horlicks. These two were a couple and you cant hear their names enough. The sing along session started off fine but the CIs this time were too goddamned lazy to teach us. Cheer after cheer we sang until finally the song leaders were like, teaching us a few songs and no one bothered to listen except the PRCS boys. I tell you, these people are like brainwashed or something because everytime the CIs asked for volunteers they'd be the first to put up their hands.
The first day was abysmal but the second was the most memorable. We had the ATF and for the first time ever, I was really keen to do one of the OBStacles. This time I was not going to repeat the mistakes I made during the Sec 3 camp. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great I tell you. The feeling that you've completed the OBStacle was really uh fun. Anyway, the maze after the ATF was also really great. This time two people had to go instead of the whole group. What the heck. I went down with Khairul and we were like real fast, but not fast enough to beat the record time. Two packets of lunch later, we had KAYAKING! This was the most ignominious experience ever. We were supposed to go straight but Wintermelon and I went off course and turned the other way. My mouth was spewing myriads of curse words, I was totally embarrased by then. Anyway, we somehow managed to do the rowing stuff correctly. As if that was not tiring enough, orienteering was next. This is really crappy because we had to read EIGHT figure grid reference-as if six wasn't enough. There were only three checkpoints and we had to turn back to the campsite. A short briefing followed by a BATH! Being the first group to bathe is really a luxory. Campfire was next, and we hit it off with a really good cheer. Soon on, my group's turn came and I'll do something that I'll never do again-wear underwear ala Superman. The theme was Superheroes and we chose-CurryPuff Girls and Powder Rangers. I'll never go through that again I swear. The campfire then dwindled into a bore, with the emcee becoming a dictator-we can't do anything to spice it up. Sec 2s are really useless. Bloody mouths, I tell ya! It's like they're keeping gold in there!
The last day regrettably came, and area cleaning had come. Not much of a say, this day, because everything is like in a mess and my brain feels like useless goo right now.
Actually, I am on holiday and I brought my homework along which I do not think that I am going to do. I still am finding that one thing to contend myself. Any suggestions?
