~*sick.... arrrggghhh!!!*~
Monday, 5 dec
The day went well, although it rained quite a bit. Reached school at 7.55 am. 5 minutes earlier. Then we brought our stuff to the hall and split into smaller groups. I'm grouped into the 2nd group, together with Yun Zhi, Ai Wei, Leslie, Jin Zhi, Yu Heng, Kai Hui, Kenneth and Gan Shun. And Hari, though he's in India and not with us for the camp. And the yr 1 yi herng. Also overseas at the moment. Ai Wei was sick on the 1st day and soon she went home after tea. So after breaking into smaller groups, we had to think of a name for our group. The theme is historical leaders. So we thought of Martin Luther King, Junior. Quite a long name, huh? =) But it's a good one, I suppose. Then after that we had mass dance. We learnt new steps and it's quite fun, and fast, though I'm a little slow and abt 1/2 step behind everyone else. Haha. This mass dance is also supposed to be the mass dance for the next year's orientation camp, and we're going to make everyone else to dance with us!! hooray!! haha. After mass dance then we had lunch. Oh yah, the food for this camp is splendid. I tell you, it's simply delicious man. So yummy. still have fruits and home-made jelly. So delicious!!! haha. dun even feel like I'm in the camp. The food is also a thousand times better than the school's food man. Then after lunch we had a lecture on effective leadership, and powerful and powerless times. It's quite interesting lah. After that, we split ourselves into the different committees and I was under the investiture committee, together with florence and Yun Zhi. =) Then later we had a walk to the new sch. It was then that it rained. And I walked under the rain. coz I didn't bring the umbrella. The pack list say no need to bring one lor. but nvm lah. it's over already. Mainly, I was rather disappointed abt the new sch lah. coz the sch quite small lah. not say very big. Then some more it's not really ready yet. and omg. the hostels really DO look like HDB flats. haha. ok, shall not say anymore... will give u all a nice surprise when u are all introduced to the new sch. =) Then after that we took a bus back to the school and had tea. Then we went to the hall to play some games, which included some skills on leadership. Then we showered and ate dinner and later shared a story that is meaningful to us. Oh yah, before we shared the story, we were given our handphones back to call home. Isn't that so nice of them? whoo hoo!! Then we turned in for the night. But I couldn't slp well, ppl kept talking, mainly craps lah, then my nose keep running, have to keep blowing the mucus out lor. how annoying. But I finally managed to sleep at last.
Tuesday, 6 dec
Woke up at 6.30am and waited for my watch alarm to ring at 6.35 am. haha. how ironical right? I practically dun need my alarm lah. hee hee. Had a very very bad sore throat and drank the whole bottle, which is about 1 litres. Then I woke florence and Yu Heng up. And we brushed teeth together. Then we had breakfast and played 3 games. It's quite fun lah. and ok. At least, I can do it. =) Then we had tea and planned for orientation and then had lunch, followed by a lecture on communications. Then we had tea and planned for the orientation again. It turned out pretty well, the plan, I mean. haha. At least we can think of something lah. Then we had dinner at macs at westcoast. It's fun. haha. couldn't eat the fries though. Had a bad flu. Then we had outdoor games and went back to school. I don't really like the outdoor games very much though, perhaps because I wasn't particularly feeling very well then. Then we had mass dance after we reach school. Then bathed and had supper. Then I slept quite early. Earlier than the rest. Then woke up at 1.45 am to go toilet and blow my damn nose and my throat really really hurts, I think it's swollen lah. really painful.
Wednesday, 7 dec
Woke up at 6 am. Then slept again. and woke up at 6.45. I was like oh no!! I missed my alarm. haha. Then quickly pack up and brushed my teeth. Felt like I had a fever, but I dun feel like going home and missing out things, so I went ahead with the day. Had breakfast and after that had an hour of captain's ball. Didn't really play, coz I had flu. Then of all, the ball hit right smack on my water bottle and it fell from the stage to the floor with a tremendous loud crash. And so, I had to discard the remnants of the shattered plastic bottle. Luckily for me, I brought an extra bottle. After games, had tea, and planning for the orientation. Then we had a lecture on mentorship then had the final mass dance where they recorded us on their video cam. Then we had reflection and finally broke camp at 5.30 pm. But all was fun and we received really lots of goodies from our facilitators, Xiang Hao and Andrea. They are really great!! I cherish the message from Andrea and the group photo. They're so nice!! =) luv them!!
Then after breaking camp I told my dad to bring me to the doctor. True enough, I had fever of 39.6 degrees. Quite a high fever lah. But I hope I'm doing well now. And I skipped violin lesson coz I'm sick!! yay! haha. blessing in disguise. loll. haha how funny. But any way, I went home straight away after seeing the doctor and washed up and slept. And woke up today at 10 am. haha. Later going to school at 2 pm to paint the pebbles for the yr 3 students nxt yr. so... see u later!! =) And yah... I muz remember to bring my medicine. =)
