Disclaimer-All content are koped from kenneth's blog.
was exhausting,painful,high,crazy,funny..
the list goes on.
but it was fun :D
and better than the previous combined camp we had with MGS.
the weird thing is i cant think of a good solid reason why its better.
Day 1
we were supposed to assemble at 8.30 but i reached around 8 and i'm not surprised there were many other people early too. basically we just stoned there until the nanyang people camp at 9.30
then, we were dispatched into our groups and went to play icebreakers which were really quite lame ._. personally, i would have preferred section bonding instead of randomly dispatching us into groups ._.
anyways, after that we DID play games as a section.
or game, rather.
it was called "honey, do you love me" and basically what you're supposed to do is approach someone of the opposite sex and ask him/her "honey, do you love me" and try to make the person laugh while you do so. if you manage to make the person laugh, the person is sort of "tagged" and then will try to do the same to others.
it took really damn long coz nelson was dilly-dallying around and by the time he decided to approach a girl they were all really bored and stoning ._.
after that, we all went back to the orch room and a new game was started. basicallyall many of us were given slips of paper (there werent enough for everyone) with 4/5 descriptions of a person from the other school and we had to ask around to find out who our partner was. after that we had to do a task together.
quite quickly i found my partner then CaoYun made us take a photo doing a heart shape with our bodies o.o took us awhile but we managed to get it (:
after that we stoned and lamed around a little longer before going for lunch.
surprisingly, the food was good. much better than previous camps at least. but the next few days just proved that the canteen auntie only gave us good food when the NYSE girls eat with us ._.
anyways, after lunch we went for rehearsal and chan conducted our childhood first and my partner was Jing Ting (a super stone girl during the "honey, i love you" game :O) anyways, she wasnt too bad. quite easy to talk to, just a bit.. slow/blur :O anyways, later on i was glad to find out she was my desk partner as SL of violin IIs for brandenburg (coz she's good and i told her about the sightreading thing :D).
anyways it was damn horrible la. the brandenburg, i mean.
sightreading at that speed, not easy. having it conducted by someone new to yourself just makes it worse.
luckily for me, it wasnt too bad. i didnt get suaned much :D only once for not doing enough staccato and another for playing the wrong note in an important passage :O
after rehearsal was NIGHT GAMES!
firstly, we played FOODCHAIN.
in this game, alwyn and caoyun (chairman/president of hciso/nyse) were lions, violists were foxes, cellists and bassists were birds and violins were insects. basically, the lions go around catching birds and foxes, foxes avoid lions and catch birds, birds avoid lions and foxes and catch insects, and insects just try to stay alive. which really sucked for us insects coz the game was really boring ._. anyways, the foxes won :/
the next game we played was the SETTLEMENT game. it was dammmmmmmn chim man.
we were split into 5 teams, 1 being a team of exco members and the rest consisted of orch members. basically, the teams had to go around doing different stations to get different element cards (gold,wood,water,fire,earth) to build settlements (cities,roads,fortresses etc) and each settlement gives you points and the team with most points win.
to get gold cards, you have to find items that the game masters ask for (e.g. 10 $1 coins or 5 hwachong badges etc.) and the first team to find the items will get the cards. to get wood cards, the game masters for that station will give you a particular leaf and you will have to roam about nanyang finding an identical match to the leaf and you will be rewarded with 3 wood cards. for the water station, you/your team has to finish 2 bottles of water for 1 water card. fire was the worst. you have to do a certain amount of physical exercise decided by the game masters (e.g. 100 pushups for guys and 100 squats for girls) and they can add as many/reduce the amount of activity. finally, for earth cards, you have to be the first to spot a certain ulu place on a world map and you win a card.
well, my team got quite a few water/gold cards and we had a couple of fire cards but sadly we didnt have any earth/wood cards so we could only build 2 cities and we got 10 points. team exco got 40+ or 50+ (sth like that) then team 1 got 100+ points (LOL IMBA) team 2 had 0 and team 3 had 15.
however, there was an unexpected twist and they deducted points for each element card remaining so my team had -2 points and we lost ._.
WALAO. damn cheap ):
anyways, going to sleep now! shall blog about day 2 tomorrow (:
nights all!
day 2 started at 7.
we woke up, washed up and went for breakfast.
not surprisingly, it was the usual oily black noodles.
shrug.
anyways, after breakfast, we assembled in orch room and were briefed on "the big game" which was actually the not-so-amazing race :D
my team got hell lots of penalties man.
when we got to our first station (Clue: Cream of the Crop, Location: behind tower block ._.), another team was there (it wasnt our fault, there were 7 stations for 8 teams so my team had to share a station with team 1) and thus we had to draw a card which could be queue (just wait for them to finish before starting on the station), detour (skip the station), or penalty (call either alwyn or caoyun to give us a task ._.).
anyway, we got a penalty (not surprisingly, most of the cards were penalties) and our task was to find out jonathan voon's bed/room number in beijing and after bugging zhenyi for a while he helped us ask voon (:
then we did the game. it was damn hard man. its so complicated i dont even know how to explain it, but we did it in 12 minutes (time limit was 15 :D) and then we went to our next station
(Clue: Mama Mia, Location: Home Econs Room, Nanyang). initially we thought the place was HC drama centre (Mama Mia being a musical) but it wasnt and while we were making our way to nanyang audi, we got tagged by caoyun (meaning we had to do a forfeit) and it was to count the number of moles on zicong's face =.= (well, we was near us so we went to count and after that caoyun gave us hints on where to go and soon we found our next station :D) when we got there, team alumni was there (zhichao,larry,gary,wilfred,chaychong) and they played around ._.
then, wutianhao told us to throw tennis balls at pieces of cardboard on a wall. each piece of cardboard had a number on it and each number represented a different task.
for the first 2 throws, we missed, then wilfred came and helped us throw and MISSED, then wutianhao was ready to choose a forfeit for us to do when wilfred said "eh not counted!" then larry chaychong and wilfred each took a ball and threw it at the wall and all MISSED then they told wutianhao "eh! we hit 1 6 and 7!" LOL. so tianhao told us tasks 1 6 and 7 (1 was to use nutella chocolate to paint flowers on our faces, 6 was to hop 1 entire round around the 4th floor, 7 was to go fill our 1 litre bottle 1/2 with water and carry it around for the remainder of the race) so we chose task number 1 and finished it reasonably quickly. after that, we walked to the nearby water cooler/toilet to wash the chocolate off our face when caoyun came and tagged us again, making us do another forfeit ._. this time, we had to take a photo of congning holding up his socks ._. so we went to find cong ning at our 3rd station
(Clue: 2.4km run, Location: Hwa Chong Track).
after some persuasion, congning did the pose for us and we called caoyun but she was still at nanyang so we decided to complete the station before finding her. for this station, we had to crawl under a patch of grass marked out by a net finding marbles hidden in the grass. to complete to task, we had to find 6/10 marbles. however, when we were halfway done, (literally halfway, we found 3 marbles) caoyun called and said that she was at the overhead bridge and wanted us to go find her immediately, if not she would go back to NY and we'd have to walk even further, so we all stopped the task and went to find her. after walking/running to and back from the bridge, kimberlynn decided to be nice and let us pass the station even though we only did half of it :D
station 4 (Clue: some-japanese-name is slamming onto the ground Location: Dojo, Hwa Chong) when we got there, we didnt see any other team which was good news coz it meant group 1 was slower than us and we wouldnt be the slowest team. the task required us to divide our team into 2 groups and 1 side had to clap and say out the rhythm for 7/8 time while the other side had to do the same for 12/8 time simultaneously. it was damn confusing man, but after a few attempts, alwyn called zhaohong to say that everyone was to reutrn to the orch room so steven and zhaohong just passed us for that station :D
when we got back to the orch room, team 3 was the winner (they were the only gorup who completed 5 stations) so every other gorup had to do a forfeit! they had to send a member/members to drink some lemon juice mixed with carrots and cut chilli thing which looked really bad ._.
so the gorups went up 1 by 1 to drink like, small portions poured into cups but when it was my turn, (my gorup was the last group), caoyun asked me "how much do you want?" then alwyn said "aiya just finish everything la" LOL then i stared at the 1/5 bottle full of veggies and stuff and drank it all up ._. it was like if everyone else drank a sip, i drank a cup ._. nelson was the only other guy who drank more than required (he drank half a cup coz he told alwyn "nevermind, i can take it" then alwyn spamed). surprisingly it reminded me of pizza :O
after that we had lunch followed by rehearsal.
the good news is i didnt get suaned by mr sze this time :D
jing ting showed me some creepy-cool thing she could do with her hand ._.
after that, we had dinner, followed by our own rehearsal until 8+
at 9, we reaced NY ready for our next, BIG, TIRING, painful game ._.
it was called terrorists!
basically, the exco members were POLICEMEN, 8 random people were chosen to be terrorists and the rest of us were THIEVES.
basically, the police had to guard police stations (there were 7) and their job was to catch thieves. terrorists had to go around finding cards and when they had a certain number of cards, they could build "bombs" to bomb police stations. thieves had to escape from policemen and help terrorists to find cards. when caught by policemen, thieves were sent to "jail" and could be bailed out by terrorists using 1 gold card. in the end, the game was pretty borig coz most of the thieves just camped on the 4th floor (the safe zone) coz the policemen were guarding all the staircases but jared jeremy kaishin and i managed to get down a couple of times but we didnt find any cards ._.
anyway, it turned out 6/7 police stations were bombed and none of the thieves were caught coz the terrorists had enough gold to bail everyone out ._.
it was tiring though. and scary.
shall continue tomorrow (:
