Holly Wood Died - YellowcardI'm back!!!!!!
Back from camp, and it's just plain undescribl-able,my feelings, my emotions. FOC '07 definitely rocked. No doubts about that. Let's go back in time, starting from Day -1. *Warning - Post would be extremely long-winded. *
Day -1.
We had our own book-in day over at Russell's place, but prior to that, Michael and myself got ourselves a pair of shoes, before proceeding to Queensway to meet up with Russell and Joanne. Upon reaching Queensway, we ate, and looked around for shorts, only Joanne and myself got the shorts.
We left for Russell's place, almost drenched in rain and met up with the rest at Russell's place. Mark, Jiv,Hongsheng,Kelvin were already there, while Mohd Noh, Khai and Hashim joined later.
We played, ate, and went about lepak-ing. Some went to watch Supernatural, while I watched 'Remember the Titans'. It sure brought back memories of my FOC group TITANS.
Day 0.
Left Russell's place late, thanks to Mark-I-want-5-mins. Apparently the ones who reached on time were being punished and we joined in the punishement when we reached till everyone was there. Got screwed by Zhou, and we went to pack our stuff at the crew room.
Basically the day was much of 'Own time, own target'.
I and my fellow GLs couldnt wait for the next day.
Day 1.
CAMP day!! We were all basically hyped up and jumping around, and I was tasked to bring the freshies up the atrium stairs upon assembling in groups. I was so excited at the way the freshies were arriving in droves, I kept jumping up and down.
Returned to the sports hall after the last batch were sent, and I was overwhelmed at the sight I was treated to. Groups practising their cheers, it was an intimidating sight, but also a beautiful one.
Tried to hype my group up, but found out that the guys were really quiet compared to the girls.Dagonet was doing a good job, but I knew my group would catch up somehow.
We soon separated into our sub-groups, to play our ice-breaker games and cinderella. I found my sub-group forming a circle on their own while I was away, and it made me feeling really proud.
P4 was slowly making a impact, and I was really happy.
Being on duty during nightwalk was an extreme bore. So me and Putri decided to play around with the freshies, like making them chant "I'm scared" while walking. It entertained us a little.
Slept at close to 5am, and that was after a stupid fire drill, which proabably caused a number of freshies booking out.
Day 2.
P4 did complain about the boring ball games on Day One, but I'm sure they were'nt complaining anymore, cause it was the station games! They probably grown a phobia of butter after the games. Heh. This day probably will be my proud-est moment, cause I see my very own P4 bonding quickly, caring for each other.
It was a touching scene, especially during the ending of station games, I could feel my hair stand when they cheer-ed.
We taught the freshies campfire songs at night with Robert. Slept earlier than Day One, had a long day ahead the next day.
Day 3.
'Pia Zui' was played, and we made sure every freshie was drenched. Pool games was a bummer, no thanks to the rain. But despite that, we managed to change our own "Oi" to a new one.
Campfire! It was time to get everyone to hype up, and I could see everyone was. Although it was frustrating to hear that the skits our freshies had worked so hard for, had to be cancelled, their cheering more than made up for it.
Left school with Iggy, Junhong, Caryn, Cheryl, Evan & Desmond to get tibits for prize giving, and also got our breakfast at macs.
Brought Caryn, Cheryl, Evan & Desmond to my clubhouse to sleep. Slept at 7plus am.
Day 4.
Freshies' Bookout day. Time to emo, cause it was time to watch the freshies' leave. Had prize giving, and Percival got the 'Most Lepak' award, lepak meaning relaxed/laid back. We're still proud of our freshies. Then Ming, Razis, Michael and Desmond came out and sang some emo song, which made me on the verge of tears. When they played "Graduation", that was it. My tears flowed like a tap.
We all wept, and I really understood how my Titans GLs felt now. It was a touching scene, and I was just so proud of my freshies. I will never forget you all. (:
Night 4.
PIZZA! We had pizza to celebrate, and some of us played soccer after that, 4 hours straight! Was shagged, and just fell asleep on the steps. Woke up abruptly to find myself close to a pool of vomit. Thank god I didnt touch it. Went over to the crew room to sleep.
Day 5.
Our bookout day. Woke up early, and went over to the pool for a short swim. Bathed, and ate a little breakfast, and while waiting for lunch, took plenty of pictures, including TITANS! So glad that there were so many Titans freshies as GLs. Cleaned up the crew room, and we went over to macs to have our lunch. Bade goodbye to the rest as I took a cab with Alex home.
In short, this camp's been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. It cannot be replaced by anything else, and I'm thankful that I'm part of this Camelot family. I'm gonna end this post off with my group 'Oi'. Sentosa tomorrow!
Percival Oi! "Shing!"Percival Oi! "Shing Shing!"Percival Oi! "Shing(x11times) BOTAK!"Cheers.
