X-Factor Camp rocks my socks!
It was exciting, and plain ol' fun!
It all started when...
[DAY 1]I went to Yew Tee CC alone after finding out that Nat and Lyn weren't coming! I was rather scared when I walked into the place and saw NO ONE. Then suddely Guan Yao shouted down, "Christine! Up here 5th floor!". I was so relieved to hear that. So we hanged around until around 12.30pm and was called into the conference room. We had a simple introduction: What is your name? What do you expect from the camp? What is something unique about you?
Boarded onto the bus and headed for the "secret air base". We were blindfolded in the middle of the journey and the facilitators were hanky panckying behind our backs. So after half an hour or so, we arrived at the "secret air base" (Punggol Holiday Resort). Ok great, we had a bag kept under "high security" and got our flight ticket. We "boarded the aeroplane" and ya. We had a presentation on Leadership by our "Captain of the plane". It was rather boring me out (but I didn't complain because I expected it to be a camp with tons of lectures but comfy sleeping area+ shower). Afterall I was WRONG. After the lecture, they showed us a video - A plane crashed.
We were stranded on an island and our task was to build a shelter and find water sources. Firstly, we gathered into our groups and introduced ourselves (again). I was in group D and my group members were: Qiao Ling (Facilitator), James Ong, Iskander, Hidaya, Yun Ting, Stenphanie and Royce. WE ROCK THE HOUSE MAN! Our shelter was mainly settled by Isk (NPCC ma). But I contributed the idea ok?! Then we have to find water sources. Once again, I suggest if we can find some from the moist ground (WAKAKA. Actually it's because I saw another group gathering nearby). About one hour later we were asked to present the amount of water collected. We exchanged the drops of water collected for 4 bottles of 1.5 Ice Mountain! It was to last our whole group for the whole day. (Including cooking) Fifteen minutes later we were asked to go for Food hunting.
Food hunting was situated at a plain land with lots of weeds and tall grasses (about knee length). It was like a relay game the first person of the group have to take the pole (used for hanging clothes) to throw and hit a board with a chicken picture on it (like javalin) then run to the second station and use a rock to hit a board on the tree followed by the last station which is the fishing station. Then the person would have to run back and hit the hand of the next person and so on so forth. I was feeling rather confident so I kept comforting those who were nervous. DAMN! I tell you, I didn't get any food coupon! OMG! LOL! I didn't expected that, probably because of the lack of exercise. HAI! So disappointed in myself. But my team didn't blame me so, they rock! And so we made our way back to camp and cooked dinner using the mass tins and fuels that we found. The Maggie noodles, Sausages, Tuna, Seaweeds were delicious (or perharps I was dead hungry)!
After dinner we got to play this game where we have to lead one guy who is blindfolded in a dark room and we have to give him directions from outside the room. Erm, I got to admit that our team didn't do very well in that section. Because almost everyone was shouting (including myself). So Iskander was rather confused and we didn't give clear instructions.
After which, we had a Tribal Council. Ok, upon hearing that, my jaws dropped. We had to vote for the best and worst player in the group. My votes are confidential.
It was "lights off" time (although there wasn't much lights to off in the open). Guan Yao, Wei Sheng, Yun Ting, James and I were like gathering around to say ghost stories at the Campfire pit. I was siting on the steps with Yun Ting infront of me and Guan Yao on my right and James was on my left and Wei Sheng was beside James. So first Wei Sheng shared a joke and a ghost story. The Guan Yao had another ghost story to say then out of a sudden, he stretched out his right hand and nearly stranggled me! OMG! HAHA. I was scared to tears ok? OMG! HAHA. Gawd. LOL. Then we talk somemore from Ghosts to Joseph. Then suddenly James was talking out of a sudden again, he raised his voice. Then I jumped again and cried! LOL. I guess either I was feeling very insecure because it was an empty pit behind me or I was very tired at that time or both. LOL. Halfway through, Yun Ting suddenly screamed "ouch!". Apparently a shoe just flew and hit her head and Billy was the one who sent off the missle. LOL. Yun Ting was complaining of the pain tso Billy consoled her by saying, "I'm very sorry! It was meant to hit Guan Yao. Come, take this shoe and hit him." I was LOL-ing man. After that, we decided to catch some winks. Apparently to no avail, we couldn't sleep. We only had a garbage bag to lie on and the area was infested with insects. Everyone at our area knew that James slept well because .... HEHEHE. Around 1am, Billy and gang were like so hyper (probably bcause they didn't take their medicine =x). Haha. So all the Kranjians were like doing Acers day and they entertained us with street dancing and Male Cheerleadings. SO funny!
Out of all sudden (again?) ....
