GIRL GUIDES CAMP'10

Yayz :D

Day 1: Ok, so this year it rained, AGAIN. But it was worse, because the rained on and off during the first two days, and as if to spite us, Mother Nature decided to make it all sunny and hot on the last day. WHY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *shakes fist agitatedly* Anyways, before I get side-tracked...

So. On the way to Camp Christine, it started pouring REALLY HEAVILY. I was expecting it to rain, so I wasn't that surprised, but when we reached it was still raining, so we had to put on our ponchos and unload all the equipment from the bus to the lodge D< And I had to carry one of the boxes which had wet paint, so the black paint ended up running down my poncho and it looked really disgusting *shudders*

After that, we settled down for lunch (nasi lemak again, HAHAHAHA) while waiting for the rain to stop. When it did, we proceeded to pitch our tents etc. One good thing about being in the largest camp group this year is that we managed to pitch out tent faster than most of the other groups 8D

So basically the whole of the first day was spent doing gadget-making, tent-pitching and all that jazz. OHOH, I did kitchen shelter/fire alter though, and it was...enriching XDD We had to make a work-table, and we could only base our knowledge on this small diagram Isabel brought *sighs* But Valencia Ma'am said that our snake-lashes (the ones Isabel and I did, coughcough) were very good, BWAHAHAHA. I was quite proud of our kitchen shelter though ^^

For dinner, we had to cook the food they prepared for us, which consisted of:

- Chicken meat/breast/whatever
- Canned mushrooms
- Carrots
- Maggi mee
- Two cans of tomato-pasta sauce
- Shredded cheese
- Pineapple cubes
- A loaf of bread
- Spaghetti

We managed to prepare the food quite fast, and I'm really glad that the juniors were so cooperative :DD Dinner was difficult, since my appetite decreased drastically after my three day fever, but it was really nice because Elyse just kept on shovelling food into her mouth while I stabbed at the random side-dishes >DD After washing up, we went for Court of Honour, and all that other stuff. *lazy*

Sharing a tent with 10 other girls is...not fun. The rain made the whole tent really humid, and the fact that our baggage rack took up 1/4 of the sapce did not help :/ Luckily Elyse and I brought our electronic, hand-held fans BWAHAHAHAHA. Aunty Disease pays off too, ok >D But it was really, really horrible and I felt so sticky and sweaty...UGH. I think I only managed to sleep at around...1? I slipped in and out of conciousness, so...yeah. ROFL.

Day 2: We woke up at 5.45AM, and I found out that it'd rained during the nigt. Peijun Ma'am actually went out of the tent to collect our towels (which were on our clothes line), oms *touched* LMAO. We did Roll Call in the morning, and it really brought back memories of GGC'09, especially since we were, once again, marching in the mud XDD After the Colours were raised we went to get breakfast (and it rained again).

Long story short, instead of kayaking, we had to spend 2 hours in the cold, dark canoe shed because the lightning alert was at Level 3 (whatever that means). I WAS ALMOST WENT MAD, OMS. It was just so...Idk. Scary. The rain was pouring down like nobody's business and a brance fell from one of the trees near the shed >< In the end, we walked in the rain after the lightning alert was brought down, and though we weren't soaked to the bone, I was so cold D:

After a cup of hot Milo and some biscuits, we bathed and got ready for dinner, the menu being:

- Egg tofu
- Lettuce
- Cherry tomatoes
- Luncheon meat
- Maggi mee
- Carrots
- Mushrooms
- Pickled lettuce

It was terrible, but not as bad as last year, since we had 5 more people than back then XDD We managed to finish our food faster than I'd expected, and Elyse and I went off to prepare for the campfire 8D

Campfire was fun, but I didn't really get drunk on the fire this time. It would be really ironic if one of the Fire People gets drunk on the fire and accidentally falls into the fire pit, IMO.

ANYWAY. After the campfire we ate our supper and got ready for...bed? LOL. Steph joined us in the tent tonight ~~(Fudge switched places with her, shh)~~ and we had so much fun, what with us going on and on in nonsensical speeches and talking about our camp experience. AND TRACY IS A K-POP FAN HEH HEH HEH. I swear, she's really like a Mini Me SHE SHALL BE MY FAVOURITE JUNIOR *crazy* Lol jk. But she's really cute >3 It wasn't as hot in the tent as the previous night, probably because of the rain, so I fell asleep pretty quickly XDD

Day 3: This day was mostly spent striking our tents and untying all our gadgets. I think I'm growing old; I felt oddly tired, more so than last year :( Thankfully the juniors were always available for me to ~~bully~~ delegate the tasks to *mean* Washing the toilet wasn't as traumatic as I thought it would too :DD

Steph and Gin got Best Sec 2 Campers, woo~ Liyun Ma'am got Best Sister Guide (HAHA) and Peijun Ma'am got, um, Best QM? LOL. AND WE WON BEST TEAMWORK, WHEEEEE~ Soon we were on the bus and on the way back to school ^^

This year's camp was...kind of different from GGC'09, probably because now I'm a senior and had to learn how to lead the juniors. One thing that was the same is that things happened quickly, and everything passed by really fast. Soon we'll all be Ma'ams and GGC'11 will be our last camp...just thinkg about that fact makes my heart die a little D:

Time is passing really quickly, and whenever I think about how my Guiding years in Crescent will end in 2 more years, I vow to not take our Guide sessions for granted anymore (though that vow is often broken *hides). Still, once a Guide, forever a Guide :D

"round around the whispering trees, guard our golden memories."
GGC'10 ♥

giving our best at camp christine.

sewing fail.

Friday, 11 June 2010 @ 22:27

Today, we (and when I say 'we' I mean me, Elyse, Liyun and Peijun Ma'am) met up to do our camp flag and identity, woo~

To say that we were unprepared would be an understatement. I forgot SMS the others, and when I was on the way to school I realised that I hadn't asked them to bring art materials -.- Lucky for us, we were able to improvise ^^

We first went to Plaza Singapura to buy cloth and ribbon from Spotlight. AND OMG SPOTLIGHT IS SO COOL I TELL YOU. It's like, the place where all the contestants in Project Runway go to buy their materials XDD And I met this really cute Caucasion baby 8D

After that we went to McDonald's for brunch, and we just talked a lot about camp. We also laughed and I think I drooled a little. Ew. OH AND. Elyse scratched me and I bled >| She accidentally scratched my arm and even after awhile it was still stinging, which I thought was weird, and when I looked it...THERE WAS BLOOD.

Then Liyun Ma'am gave me her plasters, whee~ She's in love with me, I tell you LOLOLOL.

We then went back to school to work on the flag and identity. Cutting felt with a small pair of scissors is akhgad;ga; D: But I got used to it soon, and Liyun Ma'am taught me the blanket stitch, woo~ I still have an urge to learn sewing, WHO WANTS TO LEARN WITH ME 8D?

ANYWAY. So we finished everything in just one day. Honestly, I feel quite proud of us, 4 girls doing 11 people's work *coughcough* I hope everything goes well with this year's camp ^^

Love or Hate SNSD, I hope you read this.

I’d bitch about SNSD a lot. I’d hate them for the smallest things and bash them for the most unworldly reasons. But when I think about it, I’d always realize that I bash and hate for nothing.

I would always realize

That Taeyeon gets criticized for what she does. She may not be the best singer in Kpop but at least, she is one of the better singers out there. She may not be the best leader but I think she’s the best motherly figure.

That although I dislike it whenever male idols are linked to Sica, she would still be my favorite because whenever I watch SNSD shows, her personality kills my hatred. Plus, I’m not the biggest fan of her singing voice but I must admit that she’s got talent.

That Sunny is not just all about aegyo. She’s one of the underrated members and if given the chance to improve her abilities, her singing could be up to par with Taeyeon’s.

That I found Tiffany’s chubby body quite amusing and poked fun at it but I would rather have a chubby Fany than an anorexic-looking one. Some people dislike her for being too American but I would always love her for that.

That Hyoyeon is indeed a great dancer. She may not be an awesome choreographer or may lack variety (in dance steps) but only a few female idols can dance with as much passion as she has.

That while everyone seems to complain that Yuri is overrated, I on the other hand feel like I still don’t get enough of her. People hate on her for being sexy but if you take the time to watch a few of their shows, you’ll realize that being sexy is just part of her job.

That Sooyoung needs more airtime. I hope people realize how amazing Sooyoung is, inside and out. I don’t love her for her long legs. I love her for the way she sings, dances and carries herself on and off camera.

That Yoona may be overrated but it’s not her fault if SME thinks her image is profitable. It’s not her fault she’s got more admirers than haters. And yes, she isn’t the prettiest girl in Kpop; but that’s only a fact when all of them have make-up on. Remove all the make-up on every female idol and then maybe you too will realize how pretty Yoona is.

That Seohyun is the perfect maknae. Even though she’s not really good at pulling off sexy concepts (imo) and often comes off as pure, innocence is one of the best things about her. And even if the innocent image may just be part of the package, at least she does not try too hard to look like the maknae.

That SNSD does not have the best songs and the best choreography but I love them, nevertheless.

That I believe in the Soshi Bond.

I may hate on them all I want but in the end, I would realize that SNSD is and will always be my favorite girl group – no matter how much I try to drown myself in another girl group’s songs and shows; no matter what or how anyone else thinks of them.

S!B: I didn’t think I’d be posting a secret here. Especially about SNSD.
