class camp is over. term 2 is over. GP CT is over. holidays are here. and i'm not cheering.
class camp was, well, our class camp. 2 days of extra holiday. i can't say much about that.
so anyway we got to school at 7.45. like any ordinary school day. then we went for the ropes course. it's a high elements thing, where we basically transverse stuff 30+ metres above ground. i found it pretty normal, but i think most people didnt like it. ah. 2 days in ubin would have been a lot more enjoyable, of course.
then we went to ubin and trekked 3km to the NPCC campsite. then we pitched our tents.
the girls cooked dinner. and it tasted quite nice haha. thanks for not poisoning us :D. and thanks for cooking too (:
after dinner we went to the tent to play. then the girls came over and we played truth or dare. or truth and truth mostly. and found out some interesting things. I am not bi! no no no!
went for nightwalk after that. mostly it was just walk on the path and not get lost. but then we went to this beach where we stopped to think. and i was thinking about lots of stuff. first i was thinking about 2I/4P. seems like we're still quite united after half a year in RJC which is quite a good thing. then i started thinking about class. and what i should be doing as CT rep. it's been 2 days and i havent done much. muquan says i need to be more proactive. in a way i know where he's going. i guess as a CTrep i should be taking responsibility for what the class does. and find ways for the class to bond better. then i started to think about barbecues. i don't really know why, but the last few barbecues i have had were with my BB friends and my 4P classmates. it seems like most of the stuff i do i do with really close friends.
my class is... not my home yet. really, i think of 4P as a really really bonded class. i won't ever forget 4P for what it has done for me, and for what we have done together. given the huge difference in population demographics of 3I, i know this is quite hard, if not impossible to replicate. but then, if we all work together, i'm quite sure that we can achieve something that we can remember each other for.
then after the walk we went to talk. went to the girl's basha to talk. haha ended up listening alot. stuff about playing politics and other stuff. never mind about it.
went to sleep but realized we were sleeping on wet tarp. oh, how OBS-like. so we turned around and slept. i have to admit, i havent slept so well in a tent for a long time. then again, the last camp i was at was PC, and it was a good rest, so i really don't have that much to compare with haha.
the next day we woke up and carried rafts and things to the beach for the rafting session. i ended up steering 6 rafts roped together. at first it was quite un-coordinated, and i wasnt steering properly. but eventually it became better and we managed to get a fair distance from the beach. then later we came back and returned the rafts. darn. i would have liked to capsize one of them.
we ended up having alot of extra water in our jerry cans when we got back. so victor tew germaine and i ended up pouring it out. on ourselves. and made the whole place wet. then later we ate tuna.
walked back to the jetty, shared a 1.5 litre bottle of 100plus with victor. then we took the boat back. ate chicken chop hor fun and drank pineapple juice. haha first time i didn't eat nasi lemak when i was there. then went back to school in a bus that felt more like a roller coaster. ended up at school with a horrrrible headache. then went for bubble tea and went home with mq zhengjun tew germaine and suchin.
ah well class camp has been a good experience. even though nothing much really happened to change our class dymanics greatly, i guess we are on our way. germaine is right, our class is a work in progress.
today went to school to celebrate ben and daniel's birthday. ended up cutting a cake only. the cake was good (: then went home with zhengjun tew and hongye.
it's the end of 2 terms in RJC. have i changed much? before 07 ended i was thinking about how much i wanted 4P never to end. and how i would be crazy and do dumb things for the rest of my life. but then now as i think back, i guess sometimes i just have to learn to let things go. people change. things change. i guess life has changed for pretty much everyone i know. and trying to keep life as how it is is never going to work out.
lunch tmw is somewhere nice. ha!
