The iSpark camp was a real tiring experience!I only got 8 hours of sleep in the 2 day,3 night camp!That averages 4 hours a day!OMG!I'm going to get black wrinkles soon!Haha,just joking.Before the camp,I joked that I will be going there with 2 bags and coming back with 4 bags!But,I went there with 2 bags and came back with 3 bags,that is a improvement,ain't it?
I remember that on the first day,we were split into groups.I was in group 11 with Lim Yang,Shaun,Zhicong,Samuel,Bing Heng,Hong Hui.We were occasionally joined by group 12,who consist of Swee Kiat,Mervyn,Joon Fai,Tian Sheng and Wei Jing.
We had concurrent games session 1 and ice-breakers and we had 4 casualties!2 were from group 11 and 12!Unbelievable!Shaun bump his leg and got a blue-black and Wei Jing had a cut on the right side of his forehead and now his nickname is Beckham!Haha.
We then went for lunch and had chicken rice.(We had chicken for every meal in camp!)After that we had concurrent games session 2 and luckily had no casualties.It however was a failure as the carabina bent and the string broke in the 6-way tug-of-war.We then had a water-bomb fight.Before the water bomb fight,the ATA were recruting members to BT.(In case you don't know,the ATA is the Anti-Taylor Association and BT is to Bomb Taylor!Mwahahahaha!)Taylor was totally drenched and he got bombed by me by about 7-8 times.What fun we had!
After that,we had our shower and we were kind of slow.After that,we had dinner and guess what?It consist of chicken!How nice!We then had some time to prepare for iSpark Idol or i2.The thene was idol.We then gathered at Space for a ghost story telling session and I freaked out!When it came to pair night,I paired up with Tian Sheng,who was fearless.I wanted a brighter place and was such a scaredy-cat.Unluckily,I got the stairs leading to the top of the drama centre,which is extra dark.The seniors claimed that no one had been there on solo night before.However,I survived it.The seniors tried to scare us by dragging chains,but I thought it was more like someone pulling a toy cart.
The next morning,I woke up at 5.40 and got ready by 6.15.I woke everyone up by turning the lights on.We managed to play some chaptek in class before we left for flag raising.After that,we had our breakfast and had another hour to prepare for i2.After that,i2 began.The team who got 2nd place did not follow to the theme of idol,so I thought that was kind of unfair.
Right after that,we were scheduled to go for CIP at the old serangoon school.However we ended up watching the extremely gory "Saving Private Ryan" and learnt what FUBAR is.If you want to know what FUBAR is,watch SPR.
After that,we went for our shower and once again took extra long.We were the first team to finish showering but had to wait for an hour at the dinner table before we could start eating.I know this is kind of the mutual respect thingy,but ain't it stupid to starve me,a hungry me for an hour?Don't they know that a hungry man is an angry man?
After that it was Journey To The South or JTTs for short.It was one hell of a ride.We "toured" the whole of Bukit Timah,Toa Payoh and Balestier.Don't the size of these 3 places equal the distance from our school to Changi Airport?We were set to head for Changi Airport,but the councillors say we were very lucky to have a change of plans.Yeah right!We stopped at Tekka Mall and slept there on the floor for god knows how long!It was damn cold and I was lucky I brought my jacket.Lim Yang,Swee Kiat and I decided to move to a less windy place.The breakfast at Adam Road was cancelled and we were ushered back to school where we practically knocked out when our heads hit the sack.JTTS was overall extremely tiring.I even remember falling asleep on 2 chairs at TTSH or Tan Tock Seng Hospital.I was screaming my head of all the way and you wouldn't fancy walking with me.Haha.
On the third day,it was packing up and a short photo slide-show of the past three days.Our team,groups 11 and 12 came in 2nd for JTTS and got a bottle of coke and a tin of biscuits. Everyone shared the coke and drank from the bottle and we finished half the tin of biscuits and left them to the buddies though we didn't tell them it was from us.
It was a fun and exciting camp.Overall,I was terribly exhausted.I even slept on the bus while standing.Haha.Oh!My EP3 is Gymnastics and I'm happy with it.I had my 1st session right after the camp!It was so tiring,but then again every other iSpark boy had to do it too.
